As computers become all the more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly relying on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes(笔画)of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.
Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more wide-spread among university students. Almost all their assignments and essays are typed on a computer.
All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.
It's faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that's why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.
"When I'm writing with a pen, I find I often can't remember how to write a character, though I feel I’m familiar with it."
"I'm not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper."
Many students don't feel this is something to worry about. Now that it's more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?
Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei , the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said "Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic(审美的) value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer's emotion. Through one's handwriting, people can get to know one's thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them"
To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory(必修的)and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.
小题1:Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?
A.The Importance of Handwriting and Typing.
B.To Type or To Hand Write
C.Writing By Computer Will Replace Writing By Hand
D.Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters.
小题2:The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly because______.
A.they are usually asked to e-mail their Homework and Essays
B.they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently
C.they find it not easy to remember how to write a character
D.computers have become a trend and fashion in China.
小题3:Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE of the advantages of handwriting?
A.Handwriting contains the writer's emotion.
B.The writer’s thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting,
C.Handwriting can impress people well and build one’s self-confidence
D.Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.

小题1:B
小题2:B
小题3:C

小题1:主旨大意题。文章围绕话题:我们学生是依靠电脑还是应该手写作业展开的。
小题2:细节理解题。由第四段It's faster and easier to correct if using a computer.和第七段中 “Now that it's more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite? ”可知学生依赖电脑是因为电脑方便,快捷,修改容易。
小题3:正误判断题。由倒数第二段中 “Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them"”可知书写可以给人好的第一印象, 但并没有说可以帮助建立自信。故C项表述错误,符合题意。其他选项文中均有明确表述。

A recent study, while showing a generally positive attitude toward science, also suggests a widespread worry that it may be “running out of control”. This idea is dangerous.
Science can be a force for evil as well as for good. Its applications can be channeled either way, depending on our decisions. The decisions we make, personally or collectively, will determine the outcomes of science. But here is a real danger. Science is advancing so fast is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference. And, rather than fighting for the best possible policies, we may step back and do nothing.
Some people go even further. They say that despite the moral and legal objections (反对), whatever is scientifically possible will be done ——somewhere, sometime. They believe that science will get out of control in the end. This belief is dangerous too, because it a fuels sense of  hopelessness and discourages them from making efforts to build a safer world.
In our interconnected world, the lack of agreement in and of the world of science can lead to the failure to control the use of science. Without a common understanding, the challenges of “controlling” science in this century will be really tough. Take human cloning for example. Despite the general agreement among scientists on its possible huge impact (影响) on traditional moral values, some countries still go ahead with the research and development of its related techniques. The outcomes are hard to predict.
Therefore, discussions on how science is applied should be extended far beyond scientific societies. Only through the united efforts of people with hope, can we be fully safe against the misuse of science and can science best serve mankind in the future.
小题1:What can we conclude from the recent study?
A.People think highly of science.
B.People hold mixed opinions about science.
C.Science is getting dangerously out of control.
D.Science is used for both good and bad purposes.
小题2:According to the passage, what will happen if we hold that science is getting beyond control?
A.The development of science will hopelessly slow down.
B.Businesses will have even greater influence on science.
C.The public will lose faith in bringing about a bright future.
D.People will work more actively to put science under control.
小题3:The discussion should reach beyond scientific societies because __________.
A.scientists have failed to predict the outcomes
B.the ties between different areas need strengthening
C.united efforts are necessary for the development of science
D.people need to work together to prevent the bad use of science
小题4:What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Science and its applications bring us many dangers.
B.The development of science mostly lies in people’s attitudes.
C.Mankind can largely take control of science with their efforts.
D.The future of science will be influenced by the dangerous ideas.

 Demands for stronger protection for wildlife in Britain sometimes hide the fact that similar needs are felt in the rest of Europe. Studies by the Council of Europe, of which 21 countries are members, have shown that 45 per cent of reptile (爬行动物) species and 24 per cent of butterflies are in danger or dying out.
  European concern for wildlife was outlined by Dr Peter Baum, an expert in the environment and natural resources division of the council, when he spoke at a conference arranged by the administrators of a British national park. The park is one of the few areas in Europe to hold the council’s diploma for nature reserves of the highest quality, and Dr Baum had come to present it to the park once again. He was afraid that public opinion was turning against national parks, and that those set up in the 1960s and 1970s could not be set up today. But Dr Baum clearly remained a strong supporter of the view that natural environments needed to be allowed to survive in peace in their own right.
  “No area could be expected to survive both as a true nature reserve and as a tourist attraction,” he went on. The shortsighted view that reserves had to serve immediate human demands for outdoor recreation should be replaced by full acceptance of their importance as places to preserve nature for the future.
  “We forget that they are the guarantee (保证) of life systems, on which any built-up area depends,” Dr Baum went on. “We could manage without most industrial products, but we could not manage without nature. However, our natural environment areas, which are the original parts of our countryside, have become mere islands in a spoiled and highly polluted land.”
59. Recent studies by the Council of Europe have declared that ____ .
 A. wildlife needs more protection only in Britain
 B. all species of wildlife in Europe are in danger of dying out
 C. there are fewer species of reptiles and butterflies in Europe than elsewhere
 D. many species of reptiles and butterflies in Europe need protecting
60. Why did Dr Baum come to a British national park?
 A. Because he needed to present it with a council's diploma.
 B. Because he was concerned about its management.
 C. Because it was the only national park of its kind in Europe.
 D. Because it was the only park that had ever received a diploma from the council.
61. The last sentence in the second paragraph implies that ____ .
 A. people should make every effort to create more environment areas
 B. people would go on protecting national parks
 C. certain areas of the countryside should be left intact (完整的)
 D. people would defend the right to develop the areas around national parks
62.Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?
 A. We have developed industry at the expense of countryside.
 B. We have forgotten what our original countryside looked like.
 C. People living on islands should protect natural resources for their survival.
 D. We should destroy all the built-up areas.

The food we eat seems to have great effects on our health. Although science has made great steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to diet as well. Different cultures are subject to certain illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery.
In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates(硝酸盐) and nitrites(亚硝酸盐), commonly used to keep color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels(标签) of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to cows and chick and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows.
Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to get a higher price on the market. Although the FDA has tried repeatedly to control these, the practices continue.
小题1:How has science done a bad service to mankind?
A.Diseases caused by food have been done away with.
B.It has caused a lack of information about the value of food.
C.Some harmful materials have been added to our food.
D.Scientists have made food more expensive to eat.
小题2:What are nitrates used for?
A.They help process packaged food.
B.They keep the color in meats.
C.They cure diseases of cows and chickens.
D.They cause the animals to become fatter.
小题3:Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.You can find out harmful additives on the packaging labels of food.
B.Drugs given to animals are not all for medical reasons.
C.Researchers knew about the harm of food additives about 60 years ago.
D.Food may cause forty percent of cancer in the world.
小题4:According to the passage, the FDA might be _________.
A.an organization which controls the safety of food
B.a producer which makes additives
C.a factory which processes food
D.a hospital which cures cancer

NEW YORK- One in five U.S. workers regularly attends after-work drinks with coworkers, where the most common mishaps range from badmouthing another worker to drinking too much, according to a study released on Tuesday.
Most workers attend so-called happy hours to bond with colleagues, although 15 percent go to hear the latest office gossip and 13 percent go because they feel necessary, said the survey conducted for CareerBuilder.com, an online job site. As to what happens when the after-work drinks flow, 16 percent reported bad-mouthing a colleague, 10 percent shared a secret about a colleague and 8 percent said they drank too much and acted unprofessionally.

While 21 percent of those who attended said happy hours were good for networking, 85 percent said attending had not helped them get closer to someone higher up or get a better position. An equal number of men and women said they attended happy hours with co-workers, with younger workers aged 25 to 34 most likely and workers over 55 least likely to attend. Overall, 21 percent of workers attend happy hours with co-workers and; of those nearly a quarter go at least once a month.

When people in the U. S. have company or when they’re invited to (formal or informal) get-togethers, they usually make a point of trying to make others feel comfortable and relaxed. On the whole, they tend to be informal. Men shake hands, but usually only when they’re introduced. Male friends and business associated (同事) who haven’ t seen each other in a while may shake hands when they say hello. Women usually don’t shake hands when being introduced to each other. When a woman and man are introduced, shaking hands is up to the woman. Americans rarely shake hands to say goodbye, except on business occasions. American women are used to being independent. They are used to going to places by themselves, making their own money, and often living alone. Sometimes they will ask men for help, but they usually don” t want to be protected. Since the women’s movement started, it’s not always clear whether women expect men to open doors or help them into their coats. American women may start conversations with men or even ask them to dance.
There are a lot of Americans who don’t smoke or drink, and many who don’t want people to do those things in their houses. It” s always best to ask for permission before you bring alcohol to a dinner or before you light up a cigarette, if you are with people you don’t know very well. Non-smokers have become more militant (好战的) about smoking in public places. Many restaurants, for example, have set up special areas for smokers.
Houseguests may bring gifts when they come to visit, and they often offer to help in some way. As a guest, you may want to ask your host or hostess if there’s anything you can do to help in the kitchen. In many cases, the gesture is more important than actually helping.

Equipped only with a pair of binoculars (双筒望远镜) and ready to spend long hours waiting in all weathers for a precious glance of a rare bullfinch(红腹灰雀). Britain’s birdwatchers had long been supposed to be lovers of a minority sport. But new figures show birdwatching is fast becoming a popular pastime, with almost three million of us absorbed in our fluttering feathered friends.
Devoted birdwatchers, those prepared to travel thousands of miles for a sighting of a rare Siberian bird, are fast being joined by a new breed of follower whose interest is satiated by watching a few finches (雀科鸣鸟) on a Sunday walk or putting up a bird-box in the back garden.
“Almost three million UK birdwatchers is certainly possible if you include everyone with only a casual interest,” Stephen Moss said in his newly published book—A Bird in the Bush: a Social History of Birdwatching—which records the pursuit from the rich Victorian Englishman’s love of shooting rare birds to the less offensive observational tendencies of birdwatchers today.
Television wildlife programmes have helped to fuel the new trend. Last summer, BBC 2’s Britain Goes Wild was a surprise success. It pulled in three million viewers and led to bird-houses selling out across the UK as 45,000 people promised to put up a box.
Birdwatchers’ networking system first came to the attention of the nation in 1989, when a birdwatcher caught sight of the first Vermivora chrysoptera—a golden-winged songbird from North America—to be seen in Britain. He put a message out on the network service Birdline, and the next day 3,000 birdwatchers proved the full pull of a truly rare bird as they visited the Tesco car park in Kent, where it had settled. Today, birdwatchers can log on to www.birdline.co.uk or have news of the latest sightings texted to their phones.
“Multimillion-pound spending on binoculars, bird food and boxes point to the increasing numbers of birdwatchers,” said David Cromack, the editor of Bird Watching magazine, “The number of people involved is so big that they have great potential to influence government decisions affecting the environment.”
小题1:The word “satiated” in paragraph 2 can best be replaced by “_______”.
A.affectedB.sharedC.satisfiedD.narrowed
小题2:What happened after the message of seeing a Vermivora chrysoptera was put on the network?
A.Birdwatchers helped the rare bird settle in Kent.
B.Large numbers of birdwatchers went to view the bird.
C.Many birdwatchers logged on to the website for details.
D.Birdwatchers showed their determination to protect the rare bird.
小题3:Which of the following CANNOT be true according to the passage?
A.Television wildlife programmes started the popular pastime of birdwatching.
B.The network service has contributed to the rapid development of birdwatching.
C.Birdwatching in Britain was long considered a sport with a small group of followers.
D.The current situation of birdwatching may promote the protection of the environment.
小题4:The passage mainly tells us about ________ in UK.
A.the history of bird watching
B.a growing passion for bird watching
C.the impact of media on bird watching
D.bird watching as a popular expensive sport
