         Watch out,Yahoo.There's a search engine out there with super speed and accuracy.It's really cool.
         Google is the Web's largest search engine.In just two years it has gained a reputation for surprising
    speed and accuracy,delivering exactly what you're looking for in a second.The site now does this 40
    million times a day-a number achieved without spending a penny on a TV or newspaper ad.
         Google doesn't need them.In the past six months alone,the site has won a Webby(the online version of the Oscar) for technical excellence,set a new record for search engines by indexing a billion Web pages.
         Yahoo still has 10 times the audience,but Google consistently ranks first in customer satisfaction: 97% of users find what they're looking for most or all of the time."You see people smile when they use it,like they've found something no one else knows about," says Danny Sullivan,editor of an online newsletter.
         No one is smiling more than Larry Page,27,and Sergey Brin,26,who seem certain to become
    billionaires when the company goes public,probably sometime next year.They make a great comedy duo.When they first met as Ph.D.students,the pair say,they found each other horrible－"I still find him horrible," adds Brin-but were driven together by a computerscience project aimed at coming up with better ways of searching the Web.
         The idea behind Google is that traditional search engines are stupid.They think relevance is based on
    repetition: if you type in a request for Tiger Woods,say,you'll get websites listed according to how many
    times those words appear.Not only is this no guarantee of quality,but it's also open to abuse.If you own a Tiger fan site and want to lead more people to it,simply type his name thousands of times in the site's
    source code.
    1. The first paragraph serves to________.
    A. compare two websites
    B. bring out the topic
    C. put blame on Yahoo
    D. give the background of the topic
    2. What does the underlined word "them" in the third paragraph refer to?
    A. 40 million times.  
    B. Achievements.
    C. TV and newspaper ads.  
    D. Web pages.
    3. Which of the following wins greater customer satisfaction?
    A. Yahoo.  
    B. Google.
    C. Page.  
    D. Brin.
    4. It can be inferred that Page and Brin________.
    A. work for Google  
    B. are Tiger fans
    C. hated each other  
    D. work for Yahoo
    5. We can learn from the last paragraph that________.
    A. Google is open to abuse
    B. Google remains a traditional search engine
    C. Google thinks relevance is based on repetition
    D. Google is better than traditional search engines
    6. 用30词左右概括文章大意
         _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
    1-5: BCBAD
    6. This passage mainly tells about a better search engine than Yahoo-Google,which is the Web's largest
    search engine and wins greater customer satisfaction than traditional search engine.

    　　Until recently the chances for criminal activity(犯罪活动)on the Internet have been low．However, business done on the Internet is growing rapidly, as people order books and other products and make money transactions(交易)．All this is a strong temptation(诱惑)for hackers．

    　　Hackers are often young people who are deeply attractedby computers．They use them to prowl the Internet, looking for ways to break into computer systems(系统)run by banks, telephone companies and even government departments．They look for examples of credit cards(信用卡)and try to steal the numbers．

    　　Recently in America, hackers have been caught testing the security(安全)system at the Pentagon, headquarter(总部)of the American Defence Department．But still the backers insist often for a dare “because it’s there” although with what success nobody really knows．

    　　Hackers seldom admit to(享有)a successful break in．The first sign of a security breach(泄密)may be when a customer discovers fraudulent(欺骗)money transaction on a credit card account(账户), and it is hard to discover it．

    　　“You just don’t give your credit card out to anybody, ”says Michael White, multimedia product manager for clear communications, “and in the same way you should regularly change your credit card entering number, you can defeat hackers by regularly changing your　Internet password(密码)．If you don’t, it’s like leaving the bank vault(金库)door wide open．”

    　　The warning against hackers is out there, and the answer is obviously to choose tricky passwords and change them frequently and to watch who you pass your credit card details to．

    第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    A
    A few years ago, when I was still in high school, I met a wonderful and warm teacher. At that time in my life, there were many changes to adjust to, apart from the usual teenage troubles. My parents had divorced, so my elder brother and I had chosen to stay with my dad. Due to the fact that he was keeping the house, we didn’t have to move.
    During this time, my teacher took a special interest in me. Being my English teacher, she encouraged my mind to travel to creativity I had long given up. She brought me out of the shell I built.
    She became my mother, my older sister, my friend and my teacher. The one thing she couldn’t do though was to make me more girly as growing up with only my dad and brother made me a real tomboy.
    Sometimes, I would be really immature（不成熟的）, especially if she was scoring me less than others on purpose. She knew I could do better than what I was handing in and so pushed me to extend further than limits.
    When I finished school and then after college I was about to leave my hometowns she gifted me a watch that every second, with my pulse, should remind me of the one person who will forever wait and love me without reservation.
    Time has passed and our friendship is distant, but in my heart, soul and mind, she is the closest I ever got.

    A. their mother was expecting to have another baby

    C. She kept it very well.

    第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）
    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A, B, C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
    During an exhibition show the skills of disabled people, an armless man used his mouth and feet to repair a watch. He completed the task in just a few minutes at the show, which was held in Beijing last Saturday. Just imagine the tiny parts that make up a watch. You have to wonder how the disabled man developed such a skill.
    It was reported that 28-year-old Wang Jianghai lost his arms in an accident when he was five and began learning to repair watches at the age of 17. He has repaired more than 10,000 watches in the past 11 years.
    What strong self-confidence he must have to overcome the difficulties in getting this skill! What optimism he must have to face the unfairness of his hard life! And what strong determination he must have to go through the hardship in his struggle for a normal life! Such confidence, optimism and willpower are exactly the qualities many physically healthy people lack nowadays. Wang has set a good example for young people.
    But today's youth seem to be more interested with their TV stars and pop singers but less interested in learning from the examples of working and studying hard to achieve higher goals. . That is undoubtedly the result of the influence of a changing social atmosphere. One must admit that there is a trend towards hedonism in our society. People are increasingly more concerned about material gains than about spiritual pursuits. While adults know they must work hard whatever way they choose to materialize the gains, the younger generation are more likely to seek ease and comforts of their senses.
    This pleasure-seeking trend provides a huge market for the entertainment industry and the mass media. The media devote excessive too much coverage to anecdotes of pop and TV stars, which in turn fans wider and stronger enthusiasm for entertainment among the public, especially young people.
    Ours is a developing country. Global competition in the growth of national strength presents a demand for China to be quicker in its development. We cannot afford to lose time. We need to make our economy more powerful. To meet this need, all of us should maintain our tradition of working hard and overcoming difficulties.
    56. A particular mention made of Wang Jianghai’s story in the first two paragraphs _____.
    A. serves as a description of the trend today  
    B. serves as an introduction to the discussion
    C. shows a disagreement of views    
    D. show the popularity of the TV stars and pop singers
    57. Which of the following is the reason for young people’s increasing interest in entertainment?
    A. Young people are taught by adults to seek pleasure of senses.
    B. Young people have given up our traditional value of hard working completely
    C. Young people are not interested in learning from the examples of hard working at all.
    D. Young people are far too much influenced by too much entertainment news in media.
    58. The underlined word “hedonism” (paragraph 4) means “________”.
    A. a material                                                 B. spiritual gains
    C. thinking pleasure is the most important            D. amusement

    第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

    At the age of sixteen, I joined a volunteer group with my dad. I went on my first volunteer project in West Virginia. On the night we arrived, we discovered that “our family” was living in a trailer(拖车) that was in poor condition. A crew had been working on it for two weeks, but every time they finished one problem, another surfaced.

    We decided the only reasonable solution was to build a new house – something unusual but necessary under these circumstances. The family was overjoyed with their new house that was twenty by thirty feet with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchen.

    On Tuesday of that week, while we ate lunch together, I asked the family’s three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan, "What do you want for your new room?" Expecting toys and other gadgets that children usually ask for, we were surprised when Josh responded, "I just want a bed."

    The boys had never slept in a bed! They were accustomed to plastic mats. That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift. On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding.

    When we saw the delivery truck coming, we told the family about the surprise. We could hardly contain ourselves. It was like watching excited children on Christmas morning.

    That afternoon, as we fitted the frames of the beds tog tether, Eric ran into the house to watch us. Too dirty to enter his room, he observed with wide-eyed enthusiasm from the doorway.

    As my father slipped a pillowcase onto one of the pillows, Eric asked, "What is that?"

    "A pillow," she replied.

    "What do you do with it?" Eric continued to ask.

    "When you go to sleep, you put your head on it,” I answered softly. Tears came to our eyes as she handed Eric the pillow.

    "Oh . . . that's soft," he said, hugging it tightly.

    Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems urgent, my Dad gently asks, "Do you have a pillow?"

    We know exactly what he means.

    56．The writer’s first volunteer project was         .

    A．working on a poor trailer       B．helping a poor family

    C．donating beds and bedding      D．dealing with a housing problem

    57．On bearing Josh’s answer, the writer was shocked because         .

    A．the family lived in a trailer     B．he expected to get some toys

    C．he didn’t know what a bed was      D．the boys had no bed to sleep in

    58．From the passage, we can learn that Eric had never seen      before.

    A．a trailer    B．a truck      C．a pillow    D．a house

    59．By saying “Do you have a pillow?”, the writer’s father means that        .

    A．what they want to get may be unnecessary

    B．they should not waste money on small things

    C．they should do more volunteer work for the poor

    D．what he will buy is not what they want but a pillow
