　　High-tech machines have made life easier for millions around the world．However, some people still prefer low-tech ways of doing things．Here's an example of why this is happening．You can microwave a frozen hamburger in 60 seconds．However, it won't taste as good as one you cook on the stove．And if you're in that much of a hurry, you probably won't take time to toast the bun．High-tech cooking saves time, but it doesn't make for better-tasting meals．

　　Most people get their news from high-tech sources like television or the Internet．This has many advantages．For example, electronic news is more up to date than newspapers or magazines．It's also more exciting to see live and videotaped news events than photographs．However, newspapers and magazines have some important advantages．They give more background and details．They also let you read the parts that are important to you and skip the rest．

　　Other high-tech timesavers have similar disadvantages．For examples, most people use the phone or e-mail to stay in touch with friends and family members who live in other places．But when you use the Internet or the phone, you don't always think carefully about what you are saying, and sometimes you forget the important things you want to communicate．Similarly, when you word-process a homework assignment instead of handwriting it, you can check your spelling electronically and put in fancy headings．However, some students are so busy with the computer that they don't pay enough attention to the actual words they are writing．

(1)

Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
[　　]
A．	The writer likes high-tech cooking．
B．	Low-tech cooking produces better-tasting meals．
C．	High-tech news programs always keep you reading what is important to you．
D．	Handwritten homework is better than word-processed homework．

(2)

How does the writer feel about high-tech tool?
[　　]
A．	Better late than never．
B．	Easy come, easy go．
C．	Every coin has two sides．
D．	Learn to walk before you run．

(3)

What is the main subject discussed in the text?
[　　]
A．	High-tech vs．low-tech．
B．	Advantages vs．disadvantages．
C．	Newspapers and magazines vs．television and the Internet．
D．	Word-processing vs．handwriting．

　　In the near future some parts of the world may soon have a new kind of television. It is called high definition television or H-D-T-V. The main difference between H-D-T-V and normal television is the picture. It is more clear and detailed (明细). This is because H-D-T-V has many more points and lines that make a television image (图像). Every colour television picture contains thousands of red, green and blue points, They all come together as an image in the eye of the person

watching. The points are organized in lines that go across the television screen. There are more than 500 lines in a normal television. H-D-T-V has two times as many. To get this clear picture, you must have a big screen. Experts say people using a small screen will see little difference.

　　H-D-T-V also has clear sound. It is like the sound on a compact disc player (激光电唱机), or CD. All these improvements make H-D-T-V very costly. One kind in Japan now sells for more than 20 000 dollars. In the future, the cost is expected to be about 2 000 dollars. A major problem with H-D-T-V is its broadcast signal. The signal is bigger than for normal, because it carries more electronic in formation.

1．The main difference between an H-D-T-V and a normal television is ________.

[　　]

A．that the picture of normal TV is normal

B．that H-D-T-V is new and good

D．that the picture of an H-D-T-V is more clear and detailed

2．A colour TV image is ________.

[　　]

A．made up of thousands of red, green and blue points

B．formed by the above-mentioned red, green and blue points which are organized in lines that go across the TV screen

C．a black-and-white picture

D．both A and B

3．An H-D-T-V has ________ lines.

[　　]

A．over 500

B．more than 250

C．more than 1 000

D．about 250

4．If you want to get a clear and detailed picture from an H-D-T-V, you ________.

[　　]

A．must have the bigger signal for H-D-T-V

B．have to get a big screen

C．should have a compact disc player

D．both A and B

5．According to the passage, which of the following is right?

[　　]

A．The H-D-T-V sets are not popular now because they are too expensive for most people.

B．The signal for an H-D-T-V is not bigger than that for the normal TV.

C．In the future an H-D-T-V will cost 10 times as much as it costs now.

D．In the future an H-D-T-V will be cheaper only because 2 000 dollars will be just equal to 20 000 dollars.

　　Many Americans are turning to Japan, they think, a country of high academic achievement and economic success, for possible answers．However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find．In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction．In one survey, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education．Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents(答问卷者)listed“to give children a good start academically”as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools．In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices．To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as determination, concentration, and the ability to work as a member of a group．The huge majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents．

　　Like in America, there is diversity(多样性)in Japanese early childhood education．Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development．In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools．Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children's chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities．Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens．

　　In the United States, boys and girls start school when they are five years old. In some states they must stay in school until they are sixteen. Most students are seventeen or eighteen years old when they graduate from secondary school. Another name for secondary school is high school.

　　Our boat floated on, between walls of forest too thick to allow us a view of the land we were passing through, though we knew from the map that our river must from time to time be passing through chains of hills which crossed the jungle plains．Nowhere did we find a place where we could have landed：where the jungle did not actually spread right down into the river, banks of soft mud prevented us going ashore．In any case, what would we have sailed by landing?The country was full of snakes and other dangerous creatures, and the jungle was so thick that one would be able to advance only slowly, cutting one’s way with knives the whole way．So we stayed in the boat, hoping we reached the sea, a friendly fisherman would pick us up and take us to civilization．

　　We lived on fish, caught with home-made net of string(we had no hooks), and fruits and nuts we could pick up out of the water．As we had no fire, we had to eat everything, including the fish, raw I had never tasted raw fish before, and I must say I did not much enjoy the experience; perhaps sea fish which do not live in the mud are less tasteless．After eating my raw fish, I lay back and dreamed of such things as fried chicken and rice, and ice-cream．In the never-ending damp heat of the jungle, ice-cream was a particularly frequent dream．

　　As for water, there was a choice：we could drink the muddy river water, or die of thirst．We drank the water．Men who had just escaped what had appeared to be certain death lose all worries about such small things as diseases caused by dirty water．In fact, none of us suffered from any illness as a result．

　　One day we passed another village, but fortunately nobody saw us．We did not wish to risk being taken prisoners a second time：we might not be so lucky to escape in a stolen boat again．

(1)

What they could see in the boat was only ________．
[　　]
A．	high wall
B．	villagers from time to time
C．	vast land
D．	heavy woods

(2)

They couldn’t land because ________．
[　　]
A．	the mud on the shore was too soft
B．	the forest was too thick to let them go through
C．	they could not find the mark on the map
D．	they could not find anyone to lead them out of the forest

(3)

The passage infers that the forest was ________．
[　　]
A．	rich of fruits and animals to be served as food
B．	not very thick as they could advance slowly by cutting the branches
C．	full of various dangerous beings
D．	full of ancient trees

(4)

[　　]
A．	Escape
B．	Scenes of a River
C．	How to Survive on a boat
