I fell in love with England because it was quaint (古色古香的)—all those little houses, looking terribly old fashioned but nice, like doll’s house. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. I’ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it’s an ugly town now.
Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentleman, fair play, and good manners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners—people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.
I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You are forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.
As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 p.m. I used to use it, but now I’m afraid.
The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that’s typically French. In Middleses I had a neighbor who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.
小题1:The writer doesn’t like London because she___________.
A. is not used to the life there now
B. has lived there for seventeen years
C prefers to live in an old-fashioned house
D. has to be polite to everyone she meets there

A．In a café

B．In a restaurant

C．In a nightclub

D．In a pub

小题3:The underlined word “it” in Para.4 refers to__________.

D．public transport

小题4:The writer took her neighbor the France for Christmas because she__________.

A．felt lonely in England	B．had never been to France
C．was from a typical French family	D．didn’t like the British idea of family

小题1:A
小题2:D
小题3:D
小题4:A

小题1:由第一段中的“because I think it’s an ugly town now”及其在文章中对London 的反感之情可知
小题2:由第三段中的“To meet friends here usually has to be in a pub.”可知
小题3:由第四段中的“I spend a bomb on taxi because I will not take public transport after 10.pm. I used to use it, but now I’m afraid.”可知
小题4:由最后一段中最后一句可知

Well,less than a week   42  my arrival in Manila,I was already carpeted with a   43  of mosquito bites.I took many measures to keep myself from being   44  ，but they all proved useless.

From those bites,I came to   53  my grandma’s silly tale.From then on,I’ve always tried to keep a(n)   54  mind about those strange old wives’ tales   55  they do have some truth to them.

In a small town in the United States a large group of girls cleaned the banks of eleven kilometres of their river.

Most people think of zoos as safe heavens for animals, where problems such as difficulty finding food and avoiding predators (食肉动物) don’t exist. Therefore, animals in zoos should live to a ripe old age.
But that may not be true for the largest land animals on earth. Scientists have known that elephants in zoos often suffer from poor health. They develop diseases and they are even unable to have babies.
To learn more about how captivity (圈养) affects elephants, a team of international scientists compared the lifespans (寿命) of the zoo-born elephants with the lifespans of thousands of wild elephants. They also compared some Asian elephants living in zoos with some Asian elephants which work in logging camp (伐木场), over almost the same time period.
The team found that elephants born in zoos lived an average of 16.9 years, but elephants that died of natural causes lived an average of 56 years. Asian elephants followed a similar pattern. In zoos, they lived 18.9 years, while those in the logging camp lived 41.7 years.
Scientists don’t yet know why wild elephants seem to live so much better than their zoo-raised counterparts (同类). Georgia Mason, a biologist at the University of Guelph in Canada, who led the study, thinks stress and obesity (肥胖) may be to blame. Zoo elephants don’t get the same kind of exercise they would in the wild. Elephants’ social lives are also much different in zoos than in the wild, where they live in large family groups.
小题1:Most people believe that________.

A．animals in zoos should live a longer life

After a fortnight of extraordinary type, the much-feared computer virus that was supposed to strike the globe’s hard drives last Friday simply fizzled. So many warnings were sounded that most computer owners either fed anti-virus programs into their systems or refused to turn the power on during the dreaded M-day. They dodged one disease, but more strains are on the way. The eponymous Friday-the-13th virus is due to strike this week, and the Maltese Amoeba may detonate on March 15.
Who creates these things? A disproportionate number seems to originate in Bulgaria or Russia, where writing the smallest, most elegant virus programs has become a matter of quirky pride. Viruses are transmitted either by shared disks (as was Michelangelo) or over telephone lines. The virus program hides in a computer until, activated by a date, time, or some other trigger, it springs to life. The most common virus, Stoned, makes your screen announce: “Your computer is now stoned. Legalize marijuana. ” (Regardless of your politics, you don’t want this one around; it can damage your files inadvertently.) Solution: either keep your computer isolated—no trading disks, no on-line communication—or else install one of a dozen or so commercially available anti-virus programs that detect and delete the little time bombs. If they can come up with a virus that is hidden, will they next try to extort a business?—as in, pay me $1 million or my virus will destroy your system.
In the meantime, money is being made by firms selling anti-virus programs. Egghead software stores logged a 3,000 percent jump in anti-virus sales. Was the threat overblown by the companies that make millions selling anti-virus software? Thanks to the media blitz, no one will ever know what might have happened—an unallied number of computer owners discovered and deleted Michelangelo before it was supposed to strike—on the artist’s birthday.
小题1:The much-feared M-day was ________.

A．Friday-the-13th when the eponymous virus was due to strike

B．Friday-the-15th when the Maltese Amoeba would be activated

C．the previous Friday when Michelangelo virus was due to strike

D．the previous Friday which coincided with the artist's birthday

小题2:Computer viruses are ________.

A．diseases spread from one computer to another by shared disks

B．viruses hidden in a computer’s instructions by the designers

C．little time bombs hidden in a computer waiting to be triggered

D．just those computer programs created by malevolent designers

小题3:Which of the following sayings fits the Michelangelo virus?

A．A burnt child dreads the fire.	B．The bug’s bark was worse than its bite.
C．A barking dog seldom bites.	D．Once bitten, twice shy.

小题4:The author implies that in days to come the viruses might be used ________.

A．to destroy data	B．to commit crimes
C．to commit mischief	D．to create confusion

Young adult filmmakers all hope to show their works in international festivals like Sundance and Toronto. But what about really young filmmakers who aren’t in film school yet and aren’t, strictly speaking, eve adults?
They are at the heart of Wingspan Arts Film Festival tomorrow, in a setting any director might envy: Lincoln center. Complete with “red carpet” interviews and various awards, the festival has much in common with events for more experienced moviemakers, except for the age of the participants: about 8 to 18.
“What’s really exciting is that it’s film for kids by kids,” said Cori Gardner, managing director of Wingspan Arts, a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area. This year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and one from a middle school in Arlington, Virginia. “We want to make this a national event,” Ms. Gardner added.
The nine shorts to b shown range from a Claymation biography of B.B. King to a science fiction adventure set in the year 3005. “Ａlot of the material is really mature,” Ms. Gardner said, talking about films by the New York branch of Global Action Project, a media arts and leadership-training group. “The choice is about the history of a family and Master Anti-Smoker is about the dangers of secondhand smoke.” Dream of the Invisibles describes young immigrants’ (移民) feelings of both belonging and not belonging in their adopted country.
The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown. These include a music video and a full-length film whose title is Pressure.
