第2部分：阅读判断 阅读下面这篇短文，短文后列出7个句子，请根据短文的内容对每个句子做出判断。 The Origin of the Air Mail At Blackpool Holt Thomas and Graham-White agreed to make a practical experiment in carrying mails by aeroplane. The idea, as it was first worked out, was for the aeroplane to fly from Blackpool airport across to Southport airport, and for the mails to be taken over by the Post Office there. But the programme had to be changed owing to a series of high winds. What happened in the end was that Graham-White took a mail-bag in his plane, and made a flight with it across country for a distance of about seven miles, returning to the airport. This experiment gave Graham-White the honour of being the first airman in England to carry a bag of mail across country in an aeroplane. Letters and postcards which were carried in this test, and which had a special stamp recording the fact, soon became much sought after by collectors. The second and more important experiment in British air mail transport took place in September 1911, and was the first of its kind in this country to obtain the official permission of the Postmaster-general. It was indeed one of the historical events in our airmail development. In this case as many as 130,000 letter and postcards were carried by aeroplane between London and Windsor. One of the airmen engaged in this pioneer service was the famous Gustav Hamel, flying a monoplane. I remember going out one afternoon to see him start off with one of the bags of mail. It was an extremely bad day for flying, and just before the time due for the start, the wind was blowing at nearly 50 miles an hour. None of the other pilots would have thought of going up, but Hamel—one of the finest of all pilots of the British monoplane—was not to be stopped. He jumped into his machine and fairly shot off the ground. The monoplane, so long as it was near the earth, was thrown about like a small boat on an angry sea. But Hamel gave a splendid exhibition of airmanship; as soon as he reached a great height, conditions became much steadier ,and he finished his journey without accident. This was an early demonstration that an airplane was more than a fine weather machine, and that it could fight its way successfully through violent winds. This fact impressed the postal authorities a good deal, and helped those who believed that the airplane had a great commercial future.
1. Holt Thomas and Graham-White were the first airmen to carry the airmail in England.
A.True
B.False
C.Not mentioned
A B C
B
答案的依据是第一段中的这句句子：This experiment gave Graham-White the honor of being the first airman in England to carry a bag of mail across country in an aeroplane．因而，只有Graham-White是the first air man to carry the airmail in England。
2. Graham-White carried in the aeroplane letters and postcards that later became special collections.
A.True
B.False
C.Not mentioned
A B C
A
第一段的最后一句提供了答案。这里的collectors指的是“邮票收藏家”。
3. It was after much discussion that the Postmaster-general approved the second airmail transport.
A.True
B.False
C.Not mentioned
A B C
C
第二次airmail的确获得官方批准，但文中并未提到是否经过讨论。
4. The writer described Hamel as the best pilot but criticized his assistant for his carelessness in the flight.
A.True
B.False
C.Not mentioned
A B C
B
作者在第二段中确实将Hamel描写成the first of all pilots，但Hamel那次飞行没有助手，更谈不上作者会去批评他的助手。
5. It was an unfavorable weather for flying an aeroplane but Hamel displayed excellent airmanship and succeeded in the second air mail flight.
A.True
B.False
C.Not mentioned
A B C
A
the wind was blowing at nearly 50 miles an hour…The monoplane…was thrown about like a small boat on an angry sea．这两个句子说明这是一个不利于飞行的恶劣天气。第二段最后两句句子提供了本题后半句的答案。

These will cost $ 5 for initial viewing over a 48-hour period and can be viewed again for additional fees and even purchased for unlimited viewing. 3．Divx combines the service of a video rental store with the operation of a pay-per-view TV channel. Unlike a rented videotape, though, the Divx disc needn't he returned. The 48-hour viewing period doesn't begin until the disc is first played. Customers can retain the disc for replay in the future at an additional fee, or simply discard it. (Divx plans a collection and recycling programme.) 4．Subsequent plays, or the purchase of unlimited-viewing rights, are billed to the customer's Divx account and charged to a credit card. The player's built-in memory keeps track of all Divx plays, and relays this information by toll-free phone modern to the Divx record-keeping centre. Each Divx disc and player has a unique identification code, so the system knows which discs have been played and where—something that may raise concerns over privacy. 5．Some Divx discs could be converted for unlimited play at a price likely to be lower than buying a conventional DVD. Others, called Divx Gold, would be sold from the beginning for unlimited play without further charge. Although conventional DVDs will run in a Divx players, conventional DVD player will lack the decoding and communications ability to play Divx discs. Divx players will be offered by Panasonic, RCA and Zenith. 6．About 100 discs will be available initially from Disney, Dreamworks, Paramount, and Universal, growing to 500 titles within a year. Most of these will be released in the 4:3 pan-and- scan mode rather than in the 16:9 letterbox format. Other filmmakers have yet to adopt the Divx system.

第一篇 Life Connected with Computer After too long on the Net, even a phone call can be a shock. My boyfriend's Liverpudlian accent suddenly becomes indecipherable after the clarity of his words on screen, a secretary's tone seems more rejecting than I'd imagined it would be. Time itself becomes fluid—hours become minutes, and alternately seconds stretch into days. Weekends, once a highlight of my week, are now just two ordinary days. For the last three years, since I stopped working as a producer for Charlie Rose, I have done much of my work as a telecommuter. I submit articles and edit them via E-mail and communicate with colleagues on Internet mailing lists. My boyfriend lives in England, so much of our relationship is computer-mediated. If I desired, I could stay inside for weeks without wanting anything. I can order food, and manage my money, love and work. In fact, at times I have spent as long as three weeks alone at home, going out only to get mail and buy newspapers and groceries. I watched most of the blizzard of '96 on TV. But after a while, life itself begins to feel unreal. I start to feel as though I've merged with my machines, taking data in, spitting them back out, just another node on the Net. Others on line report the same symptoms. We start to strongly dislike the outside forms of socializing. It's like attending an A. A. meeting in a bar with everyone holding a half-sipped drink. We have become the Net Opponents' worst nightmare. What first seemed like a luxury, crawling from bed to computer, not worrying about hair, and clothes and face, has become an avoidance, a lack of discipline. And once you start replacing real human contact with cyber-interaction, coming back out of the cave can be quite difficult. At times, I turn on the television and just leave it to chatter in the background, something that I'd never done previously. The voices of the programs soothe me, but then I'm jarred by the commercials. I find myself sucked in by soap operas, or compulsively needing to keep up with the latest news and the weather. "Dateline, " "Frontline, " "Nightline, "CNN, NewYork 1, every possible angle of every story over and over, even when they are of no possible use to me. Work moves from foreground to background.
1. Compared to he clear words of her boyfriend on screen, his accent becomes______
A.unidentifiable
B.unbearable
C.unreal
D.misleading
A B C D
A
文章中第一段有这样一句话：My boyfriend's Liverpudlian accent suddenly becomes indecipherable after the clarity of his words on screen,…根据上下文可猜出indecipherable是和clarity相对而言的。故A应为正确答案。
2. The passage implies that the author and her boyfriend live in______
A.different cities in England
B.different countries
C.the same city
D.the same country
A B C D
B
文章第二段最后一句话是：My boyfriend lives in England，它的含义是，她(作者)不在英国。所以B(他们居住在不同的国家)应为正确答案。
3. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? ______
A.She is so absorbed in the TV programs that she often forgets her work.
B.In order to keep up with the latest news and the weather, she watches TV a lot.
C.In order to get some comfort from TV programs she, sometimes, turns on the television.
D.Having worked on the computer for too long, she became a bit odd.
A B C D
C
文章中最后一段提到作者有时会打开电视，因为电视节目的声音使她感到安慰(The voices of the programs soothe me)。
4. What is the author's attitude to the computer? ______
A.She dislikes it because TV is more attractive.
B.She dislikes it because it cuts off her relation with the outside world.
5. The phrase "coming back out of the cave" in the fifth paragraph means______
A.coming back home
B.going back home
C.living a luxurious life
D.restoring direct human contact
A B C D
D
该短语出现的整个句子是：And once you start replacing real human contact with cyber-interaction， coming back out of the cave can be quite difficult．并且一旦你着手用电脑交际取代人与人之间的真正接触，再从洞穴里钻出来会是十分困难的。有了电脑不出门也可以做许多事，于是你的家也就成了与世隔绝的洞穴。因此从洞穴里钻出来(coming back out of the cave)是指“恢复人与人之间的直接接触”(restoring direct human contact)，所以D是正确答案。
第二篇 Show Love by Knitting My mother knew how to knit, but she never taught me. She assumed, as did many women of her generation, that knitting was no longer a skill worth passing down from mother to daughter. A combination of feminism, consumerism and household gadgetry made many women feel that such homely accomplishments were now obsolete. My Grandmother still knitted, though, and every Christmas she made a pair of socks for my brother and me, of red wool. They were the ones we wore under our ice skates, when it was really important to have warm feet. Knitting is a nervous habit that happens to be productive. It helped me quit smoking by giving my hands something else to do. It is wonderful for depression because no matter what else happens, you are creating something beautiful. Time spent in front of the television or just sitting is no longer time wasted. I love breathing life into the patterns. It's true magic, finding a neglected, dog-eared old book with the perfect snowflake design, buying the same German town knitting worsted my grandmother used in the exact blue to match my daughter's eyes, taking it on the train with me every day for two months, working feverishly to get it done by Christmas, staying up late after the stockings are filled to sew in the sleeves and weave in the ends. Knitting has taught me patience. I know that if I just keep going, even if it takes months, there will be a reward. When I make a mistake, I know that a temper tantrum will not fix it, that I just have to go back and take out the stitches between and start over again. People often ask if I would do it for money, and the answer is always a definite no. In the first place, you could not pay me enough for the hours I put into a sweater. But more important, this is an activity I keep separate from such considerations. I knit to cover my children and other people I love in warmth and color. I knit to give them something earthly that money could never buy. Knitting gives my life an alternative rhythm to the daily deadline. By day I can write about Northern Ireland or the New York City Police Department and get paid for it, but on the train home, surrounded by people with laptops, I stage my little rebellion. I take out my old knitting bag and join the centuries of women who have knitted for love.
1. Which of the following reasons does NOT explain the fact that "Knitting was no longer a skill worth passing down from mother to daughter"?______.
A.The struggle of women for equal rights.
B.The belief that it is good to buy and use a lot of goods.
C.The plain feature of knitting.
D.The introduction of domestic devices.
A B C D
C
此题答案在第一段第三句：A combination of feminism，consumerism and household gadgetry made many women feel that such homely accomplishments were now obsolete．在女权主义(男女平等主义)，消费主义，以及家用小玩意儿的采用共同作用之下，使得许多妇女认为这种简朴的成果已经过时。从这句话可以得出C为正确答案。
2. At what time did the author wear the socks her grandmother had knitted for her? ______.
A.In winter.
B.When she went skiing.
C.During the Christmas holidays.
D.When she needed to keep her feet warm for skating.
D.knitting may act as a trigger for a nervous breakdown
A B C D
A
Knitting is a nervous habit．这句话说的是：编织是一种神经系统的习惯。显而易见，编织过程也是大脑神经活动的过程。因此A为正确答案。B说的是：编织使人心烦；C说的是：编织令人心神不安；D说的是：编织可能引起神经失常。
4. Which of the following is false concerning knitting according to the author? ______.
A.It helps one give up one's bad habit.
B.It helps one get rid of one's bad mood.
C.It requires patience.
D.It is a profit-making business.
A B C D
D
注意该题问的是四个选择项中哪一个说的是错的。文章第二段第二和第三句话是这么说的：It helped me quit smoking by giving my hands something else to do．(排除A)It is wonderful for depression because no matter what else happens，you are creating something beautiful．(排除B)文章第四段还有这样一句话： Knitting has taught me patience．(排除C)。此外，注意文章第五段第一句话：People often ask if l would do it for money，and the answer is always a definite no．这句话也明确地说明作者编织不是为了赚钱。因此D应为正确答案。
5. What is NOT her purpose for knitting according to this passage? ______.
A.It saves money.
B.It activates one's life.
C.It enriches one's life.
D.It is a pleasant pastime.
A B C D
A
此题要求回答：什么不是编织的目的。文中第二段第三句说：It is wonderful for depression because no matter what else happens，you are creating something beautiful．当你意志消沉时，编织对你有好处，因为无论发生什么事情，你都在创造美的事物(排除B)。文中第二段第四句说：Time spent in front of the television or just sitting is no longer time wasted．在电视机前度过的时光或闲坐不再是浪费时间(排除D)。文中最后一段第一句说：Knitting gives my life an alternative rhythm to the daily deadline编织改变了我一天的安排，它使我的生活换了个样儿。从而说明，编织丰富了作者的生活(排除C)。
第三篇 How Ford Turn Out Cars When it comes to singling out those who have made a difference in all our lives, you cannot overlook Henry Ford. A historian a century from now might well conclude that it was Ford who most influenced all manufacturing, everywhere, even to this day, by introducing a new way to make cars—one, strange to say, that originated in slaughterhouses. Back in the early 1900's, slaughterhouses used what could have been called a "disassembly line. " Ford reversed this process to see if it would speed up production of a part of an automobile engine called a magneto. Rather than have each worker completely assemble a magneto, one of its elements was placed on a conveyer, and each worker, as it passed, added another component to it, the same one each time. Professor David of the University of Delaware, an expert on industrial development, tells what happened: "The previous day, workers carrying out the entire process had averaged one assembly every 20 minutes. But on that day, on the line, the assembly team averaged one every 13 minutes and 10 seconds per person. " Within a year, the time had been reduced to five minutes. In 1913, Ford went all the way. Hooked together by ropes, partially assembled vehicles were towed past workers who completed them on piece at a time. It wasn't long before Ford was turning out several hundred thousand cars a year, a remarkable achievement then. And so efficient and economical was this new system that he cut the price of his cars in half, to $ 260, putting them within reach of all those who, up until that time, could not afford them. Soon, auto makers the world over copied him. In fact, he encouraged them to do so by writing a book about all of his innovations, entitled Today and Tomorrow. The Age of the Automobile has arrived. Today, aided by robots and other forms of automation, everything from toasters to perfumes are made on assembly lines.

During their first four minutes together, according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin. In his book, "Contact: The first four minutes", he offers this advice to anyone interested in starting new friendships:" 1 . A lot of people's whole lives would change if they did just that. " You may have noticed that the average person does not give his undivided attention to someone he has just met. 2 . If anyone has ever done this to you, you probably did not like him very much. When we are introduced to new people, the author suggests, we should try to appear friendly and self-confident. In general, he says," People like people who like themselves. " On the other hand, we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves. It is important to appear interested and sympathetic, realizing that the other person has his own needs, fears, and hopes. Hearing such advice, one might say," But I'm not a friendly, self-confident person. That's not my nature. It would be dishonest for me to that way. " 3 . We can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality. "it is like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first, hut it goes much better than the old one. " But isn't it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don't actually feel that way? Perhaps, but according to Dr. Zunin," total honesty" is not always good for social relationships, especially during the first few minutes of contact. There is a time for everything, and a certain amount of play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger. That is not the time to complain about one's health or to mention faults one finds in other people. It is not the time to tell the whole truth about one's opinions and impressions. 4 . For a husband and wife or a parent and child, problems often arise during their first four minutes together after they have been apart. Dr. Zunin suggests that these first few minutes together be treated with care. If there are unpleasant matters to be discussed, they should be dealt with later. The author says that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school, along with reading, writing, and mathematics. 5 . That is at least as important as how much we know. A．In reply. Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits B．Much of what has been said about strangers also applies to relationships with family members and friends. C．In his opinion, success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people. D．Every time you meet someone in a social situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes. E．He keeps looking over the other person's shoulder, as if hoping to find someone more interesting in another part of the room. F．He is eager to make friends with everyone.

Who hasn't heard of the Middle Kingdom's astounding economic growth (8 percent annually), its mesmerizing(令人目瞪口呆的) 1 market (1.2 billion people), the investment ardor of foreign suitors( $ 40 billion in foreign direct investment last year 2 )?

A new generation of large and credible firms 10 in China in the electronics, appliance and even high-tech sectors. Some have reached critical mass on the main land and 11 new outlets for their production—through exports and by building Chinese factories abroad, chiefly in Southeast Asia.

Its companies are also 15 by the country's tong tradition of central planning, inefficient use of capital and antiquated distribution system, which makes building national companies a challenge.
