Attending a university is an important part of a person’s life. Today, many people go to a university to study and train for a future job in subjects like law, medicine, or education. But the university is not a modern invention. It has a history that is over a thousand years old.
The world’s oldest university, Al-Azhar, is in Cairo, Egypt. It was first built as a mosque in A.D. 972. A few years later, learners and teachers began meeting in the mosque in “tutoring circles”. They read and talked about the subject of law. Around 988, leaders in the city of Cairo decided to create a school for higher learning and the University of Al-Azhar was founded.
At Al-Azhar, there were many university ‘firsts.’ Courses were created. The earliest ones taught at Al-Azhar were in law and religion. In a course, students read and studied with the teacher, but there was also free discussion. Often, students and teachers talked about a topic, and there was no ‘right’ answer. Finally, scholars from around the world came to Al-Azhar to teach and do research. At the university, people studied the past, but it was also a place for sharing new ideas.
Over a thousand years later, Al-Azhar is still an important university in the world. Its library contains more than 250,000 of the world’s oldest and most valuable books. Today, many of the world’s most important universities such as Oxford and Harvard still follow the traditions started at Al-Azhar.

Who doesn’t love sitting beside a cosy fire on a cold winter’s night ? Who doesn’t love to watch flames (火苗) curling up a chimney? Fire is one of man’s greatest friends, but also one of his greatest enemies. Many big fires are caused by carelessness. A lighted cigarette thrown out of a car or train window or a broken bottle lying on dry grass can start a fire. Sometimes, though, a fire can start on its own. Wet hay (草) can begin burning by itself. This is how it happens: the hay starts to rot (腐烂) and begins to give off heat which is trapped inside it. Finally, it bursts into flames. That’s why farmers cut and store (贮存) their hay when it’s dry.
Fires have destroyed whole cities. In the 17th century, a small fire which began in a baker’s shop burnt down nearly every building in London. Moscow was set on fire during the war against Napoleon. This fire continued burning for seven days. And, of course, in 64 A.D. a fire burnt Rome. Even today, in spite of modern fire-fighting methods, fire causes millions of pounds’ worthy of damage each year both in our cities and in the countryside. It has been wisely said that fire is a good servant but a bad master .

Here are a few tips we’ve put together to help you learn English well .
Speak , speak , speak !
Practise speaking as often as you can —even speaking to yourself is good practice .
Try recording yourself whenever you can . Compare your pronunciation with the master version (版本), see how you can do better and have another go . If you do this several times , you will find that each version is better than the last .
Why not learn with someone else ?
It helps if you can learn with someone else . If you can persuade a friend or family member to study with you , it will make you keep working .
Don’t get stuck by a word you don’t know .
Practise improvising (即兴的)ways of getting your meaning across when speaking spontaneously (本能地), even if you don’t know the exact words or phrases . Think of things you might want to say whenever you have spare time . Use facial expressions , hand movements , anything to get your meaning across .
Language learning is also about intuition (直觉).
Guesswork is an important way to learn a new language . When listening to recorded material , you aren’t expected to understand everything first time round . If you play the same piece several times , you will most probably understand something new each time .
Build up your vocabulary .
A wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don’t try to learn too much at once. It’s best to study frequently , for short periods of time . Take at most six or seven items of vocabulary and learn them .Put them into sentences to fix them in your mind , then come back to them later .
And above all , have fun !

It began as a game: high school and college students studying computer technology figured out they could use personal computers to break into telephone company computers and make free, long-distance telephone calls. These young computer gifts soon gained the nickname "hackers (黑客)".
Police arrested a few hackers, but many went on to even more complex hacking. One hacker was arrested for making illegal telephone calls and later used a prison phone to change a police officer's credit records to get back at (报复) the officer for arresting him. The hacker also used a computer to change his college records to give himself better grades.
As hackers gained experience, they began invading computers at banks, airlines and other businesses. In one plan, a hacker instructed an airline's computer to give him free airplane tickets.
The U.S. government is worried hackers may break into its complex networks of defense computers. The government's classified secrets are vulnerable (脆弱的) because thousands of government computers are connected by telephone lines that hackers can tap into.
In November 1988, a college student tapped into a non-classified U.S. Defense Department computer network called Arpanet. The hacker injected (输入,注入) a computer program that left copies of itself throughout Arpanet. Some hackers use each "virus " to destroy all the data in a computer. But in this case, government officials shut down the network before the program reached every computer in the system. Shutting down the system angered many researchers who were using the computers. The hacker turned himself in (自首) to police and told them how to get his program out of the computer system. He was charged with a crime.
The incident attracted computer hacking in the United States. Many companies have hired experts to protect their computers from hackers, and many computer experts now advise companies on how to protect their computers.
The U.S. government believes foreign governments have hired hackers to try to break into top-secret defense computers. It fears a hacker could inject a virus into military computers that would clean up all the data during a war.
Experts disagree over whether a computer network can ever be safe from hacking. But in the future, some of the most brilliant minds in the U.S. will be working to ruin the efforts of computer hackers and spies.
71.The main idea of the article is that _______________.

请认真阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Was Princess Diana murdered? The verdict(判决) is no. according to an inquiry(调查) held into the cause of her death over the last six months.
The big question was whether the deaths of Diana and her boyfriend Dodi A1 Fayed in a deadly car crash in 1997 had been accidental, or whether there was some kind of conspiracy(阴谋) to have them killed.
Dodi’s father Mohamed A1 Fayed, owner of London’s world-famous department store Harrods, has insisted for the last decade that the pair were murdered by spies of the British state who did not want them to marry. But his theories now look to have been blown out of the water. The court found that Princess Diana and her boyfriend were not murdered but killed due to the “gross, carelessness” of her driver and the paparazzi(偷拍的摄影记者). Her driver was drunk at the time of the crash and the paparazzi had been running after their car.
So is this the end of the Diana story? British taxpayers may hope so. The inquiry has cost them about £10m (140m RMB). “Thank God it’s over”, was the headline in The Guardian newspaper. UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown said it was time to “draw a line” under the death of the Princess. But Mohamed AI Fayed has refused to accept the judgment. He says the result will come as a “blow” to millions of his supporters around the world, and has not ruled out starting another investigation.
Whatever happens, next, the special place Princess Diana has in the hearts of people around the world is not likely to be forgotten.
56. According to the text, the inquiry focuses on _______.
A. what caused the deaths of Diana and her boyfriend
B. who were the paparazzi
C. how much British taxpayers paid for the case
D. whether the driver was drunk then .
57. By saying the underlined “his theories now look to have been blown out of the water”, the author means that ________.
A. Mohamed lacks confidence in the case
B. Mohamed feels disappointed at the result
C. Mohamed’s idea seems to be believable
D. Mohamed’s idea possibly proves to be wrong
58. Similar to The Guardian newspaper, UK Prime Minister ________.
A. felt sorry for the deadly car crash B. questioned the purpose of Dodi’s father
C. stood for the court’s judgment D. blamed the paparazzi for their bad behavior
