【題目】In the near future, daily newspapers and monthly magazines will probably disappear. Electronic media can provide the same information faster and cheaper. The Internet, together with laptops and cellphones, makes it possible that almost everyone can at any time and in almost any place get some news for free or for few fees.

You’ll browse the computer newspapers or magazines just like switching on TV. An electronic voice will tell you stories about the latest events. You’ll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Want more information on the brief story? A simple touch makes the entire text appear.

There are the predictions from the experts working on the newspapers of the future. Pictured as part of home-based media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers and magazines would unite printed and broadcast news, offering information and analyzing video images of news events.

The continuing loss of readers will result in a small number of advertisements in newspapers. It makes no sense to spend millions of dollars to print ads.

With the development of technology, more and more electronic medium have been created until now, but replacing the traditional newspapers and magazines has a long way to go, because the resistance to computer newspapers and magazines from journalism(新聞業(yè)) may be much stronger. Since it is such a cultural change, it may be not until the present journalists, who aren’t used to it, die off that the newspaper industry is not considered as an industry any longer. Anyway, technology is making the traditional newspapers and magazines disappear gradually.

【1】Computer newspapers and magazines have all the advantages except that ____________.

A. they are more expensive than traditional newspapers

B. you can choose the kind of voice you like to hear

C. you can get more information from them easily

D. you can easily store information for the future use

2The underlined word “resistance” in the fifth paragraph probably means ____________.

A. a thought which directs your action

B. a force that acts to stop something happening

C. a force that helps you do something

D. an idea which is different from others

3We can infer from the passage that _________________.

A. all technological developments are very important

B. traditional newspapers and magazines will disappear soon

C. new things will replace the old ones in the future

D. traditional newspapers and magazines will be more popular

4The author writes the article to __________________.

A. let people know the great development of the journalism

B. tell readers what newspapers and magazines are like in the future

C. prove newspapers and magazines are not welcomed any more

D. say traditional newspapers and magazines are better than before

【3】C

【4】A

【題目】Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.

I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.

After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.

I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.

She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”

“Oh, you’re such a good man.” she said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”

“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.

“Oh, I’m in no hurry,” she said. “I’m on my way to a hospice (臨終醫(yī)院). I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long.”

I quietly reached over and shut off the meter (計(jì)價(jià)器).

For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.

Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.

At dawn, she suddenly said,” I’m tired. Let’s go now.”

We drove in silence to the address she had given me.

“How much do I owe you?” she asked.

“Nothing.” I said.

“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.

Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”

【1】The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to ______.

A. show she was familiar with the city

B. reach the destination on time

C. let the driver earn more money

D. see some places for the last time

【2】The taxi driver did not charge the old woman because he ______.

A. was in a hurry to take other passengers

B. shut off the meter by mistake

C. had received her payment in advance

D. wanted to do her a favor

【3】What can we learn from the story?

A. An act of kindness can bring people great joy.

B. People should respect each other.

C. Giving is always a pleasure.

D. People should learn to appreciate others’ concern.

【題目】A glass a day keeps obesity(肥胖) at bay. Alcohol has always been thought to cause weight gain because of its high sugar content(含量),but new research suggests a glass a day could form part of a diet. Looking at past studies they found that, while heavy drinkers do put on weight, those who drink in moderation can actually lose weight.

A spokesman for the research team at Navarro University in Spain says, Proper alcohol intake, especially of wine, may be more likely to protect against, rather than promote, weight gain”. The International Scientific Forum on Alcohol Research reviewed the findings and agreed with most of the conclusions, particularly that current data do not clearly indicate if moderate drinking increases weight.

Boston Universitys Dr. Harvey Finkel found that the biologic mechanisms(生物學(xué)機(jī)制) relating alcohol to changes in body weight are not properly understood. His team pointed out the strong protective effects of moderate drinking on the risk of getting conditions like diabetes(糖尿病),which relate to increasing obesity. Some studies suggest that even very obese people may be at lower risk of diabetes if they are moderate drinkers.

The group says alcohol provides calories that are quickly absorbed into the body and are not stored in fat, and that this process could explain the differences in its effects from those of other foods. They agree that future research should be directed towards assessing the roles of different types of alcoholic drinks, taking into consideration drinking patterns and including the past tendency of participants to gain weight.

For now there is little evidence that consuming small to moderate amounts of alcohol on a regular basis increases one’s risk of becoming obese. What’s more, a study three years ago suggested that resveratrol, a compound present in grapes and red wine, destroys fat cells.

【1】The passage is mainly for those ______.

A. who produce wine B. who are eager to gain weight

C. who go on a diet D. who have a drinking habit

【2The underlined phrase “in moderation” in the first paragraph means_______.

A. properly B. carefully C. excitedly D. never

【3Why has alcohol been thought to cause weight gain?

A. Because its calories are stored in fat.

B. Because it is rich in sugar.

C. Because it changes drinking patterns.

D. Because it increases the risk of diabetes.

【4】What can we learn from the text?

A. The specific roles of different types of alcoholic drinks are very clear.

B. Resveratrol is proved to increase the risk of becoming fat.

C. The research found moderate drinking has a strong protective effect.

D. Current data clearly show that moderate drinking increases weight.

【5】What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?

A. How to do some easy experiments.

B. How to prove the findings mentioned above.

C. How to make wine in a healthy way.

D. How to reduce the calories contained in wine.
