Joe Templer should have known better. After all, he works for a large auto insurance company. It won't hurt to leave the key in the truck this once, he thought, as he filled his gas tank at a self service gas station. But moments later, as he was paying the money, he saw the truck being driven away.
In 1987, 1.6 million motor vehicles were stolen in the United States one every 20 seconds. If _________________, experts predict annual vehicle thefts could exceed two million by the end of the decade.
Vehicle theft is a common phenomenon, which has a direct impact on over four million victims a year. The cost is astonishing.
Many police officials blame professional thieves for the high volume of the thefts. It is a major money maker for organized crime. Typically, stolen cars are taken to pieces and the parts sold to individuals. But as many as 200,000 cars are smuggled out of the country every year. Most go to Latin America, the Middle East and Europe.
Only about 15 percent car thefts result in an arrest, because few police departments routinely conduct in depth auto investigations. When thieves are arrested, judges will often sentence them to probation(缓刑), not immediately put them in prison because the prisons are overcrowded with violent criminals.
One exception is a Michigan program that assigns 92 police officers to work full time on the state's 65,000 car theft cases a year. Since 1986, when the effort began, the state's auto theft rate has fallen from second in the nation to ninth.

Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the greatest resources of the English Language.Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand! There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare uses it.Such a study is well worth the effort, even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.
However, it is surprising that we should know comparatively little about the life of the greatest English author.We know that Shakespeare was born in 1564 in Stratford-on-Avon, and that he died there in 1616.He almost certainly attended the Grammar School in the town, but of this we cannot be sure.We know he was married there in 1582 to Anne Hathaway and that he had three children.We know that he spent much of his life in London writing his masterpieces.But this is almost all that we do know.
However, what is important about Shakespeare’s life is not its incidental details but its products, the plays and the poems.For many years scholars have been trying to add a few facts about Shakespeare’s life to the small number we already possess and for an equally long time critics have been theorizing about the plays.Sometimes, indeed, it seems that the poetry of Shakespeare will disappear under the great mass of comment that has been written upon it.
Fortunately this is not likely to happen.Shakespeare’s people have long delighted not just the English but lovers of literature everywhere, and will continue to do so after the scholars and critics and all their works have been forgotten.
1.This passage is about .
A. the great length of each chapter
B. the great varieties in writing styles
C. the richness of the content in Shakespeare’s works
D. the rich English language used by Shakespeare in his works
2. According to the writer, which of the following remains uncertain about Shakespeare?
A. His date of birth
B. His marriage
C. His life in the Grammar School
D. His date of death
3.It can be inferred from Para 3 that
A. not all the comments on Shakespeare’s works have produced good effects
B. scholars have successfully collected facts about Shakespeare’s life
C. critics are more interested in Shakespeare’s play than his poetry
D. the details of Shakespeare’s life are more important than his literary works
4. What does the last sentence in Para 3 mean ?
A. People don’t think the poetry of Shakespeare good any more.
B. People pay more attention to the comment than the poetry of Shakespeare.
C. People can’t see the poetry of Shakespeare any more.
D. The comment is printed on the poetry of Shakespeare.

阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题。(请注意问题后的字数要求)。
Many students find it hard to make friends when they are in high school. Keeping my suggestions in mind may give you a hand. They certainly helped me, and by the end of my three years of high school, I had formed my group of friends, with whom I still keep in touch now.
Here are my tips:
Say hello anytime I see an acquaintance(相识的人).
Because I was always smiling and greeting the people I knew, people naturally thought I was friendly(though I am not naturally sociable). And high school students want to be friends with sociable people.
Take the first step.
All the girls there already knew each other—they didn't need another friend. But I did, so I had to make the effort. I had to be the first one to invite somebody to go to a movie with me, or come to my house. Once I did that they started to respond with the same thing.
Use classes to get to know people.
I met most of my first friends because I sat next to them in class. Class(before, after, or even during class time)is a great opportunity to begin a conversation. For example, ask for help about homework.
Make friends slowly.
I couldn't get discouraged (泄气的) when it took a while to make friends.It really takes some time to make new friends. In a word, ________________________.
Above all, remember that it can and will get better. You may have to work a little to make your high school experience a great one, but it's really worth it!
1.For what purpose does the writer write this passage?(Please answer within 15 words.)
2. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?
I was believed to be sociable because of my friendly attitude towards others.
3. Fill in the blank with a sentence.(Please answer within 10 words.)
4.Which piece of advice does the following sentence belong to? (Write in detail)
Everybody should make friends patiently in high school.
5.Translate the underlined sentence in the first paragraph into Chinese.

It's not a new phenomenon, but have you noticed how many nouns are being used as verbs? We all use them, often without noticing what we're doing.
I was arranging to meet someone for dinner last week, and I said “I’ll pencil it in my diary”, and my friend said “You can ink it in”, meaning that it was a firm arrangement not a tentative one!
Many of these new verbs are linked to new technology. An obvious example is the word fax. We all got used to sending and receiving faxes, and then soon started talking about faxing something and promising we'd fax it immediately. Then along came email, and we were soon all emailing each other madly. How did we do without it? I can hardly imagine life without my daily emails.
Email reminds me, of course, of my computer and its software, which has produced another couple of new verbs. On my computer I can bookmark those pages from the World Wide Web that I think I'll want to look at again, thus saving all the effort of remembering their addresses and calling them up from scratch. I can do the same thing on my PC, but there I don't bookmark; I favorite—coming from “favorite pages”, so the verb comes from an adjective not a noun.
Now my children bought me a mobile phone, known simply as a mobile and I had to learn yet more new verbs. I can message someone, that is, I can leave a message for them on their phone. Or I can text them, write a few words suggesting when and where to meet, for example. How long will it be before I can mobile them, that is, phone them using my mobile? I haven’t heard that verb yet, but I’m sure I will soon. Perhaps I’ll start using it myself!
1.“I’ll pencil it in my diary” in the second paragraph probably means .
A.it was a firm arrangement
B.he prefers a pencil to a pen
C.the arrangement should be written as a diary
D.it was an uncertain arrangement
2.A website address can be easily found if it has been______.
A.favorited B.messaged C.emailed D.texted
3.Which of the following has not been used as a verb yet?
A.message B.mobile C.email D.page
4.The best title for this passage is____.
A.Technology and Language.
B.Development of the English language
C.New Technology and New words
D.New Verbs from Nouns

Remembering names is an important social skill.Here are some ways to master it.
1.When you hear a person’s name and want to remember it, repeat it.Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips.You could also say the name again in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.
2.You can let other people help you remember their names.After you’ve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you.Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.
3.Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed.Most of them will feel sympathy if you say “I’m working to remember names better.Yours is right on the tip of my tongue.What is it again?”
4. When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names.Free yourself from remembering every one.Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names.Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names.Last names can come later.
5. Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes.Sometimes just a few people show up on time.There are fewer names for you to remember.And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others — an automatic review for you.
