【题目】In so many ways, cyberspace mirrors the real world. People ask for information, play games, and share hobby tips. Others buy and sell products. Still others look for friendship, or even love.
Some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with. They're looking for serious love relation-ships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask. Some of these relationships actually succeed. Others end in tears.
Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen. Identity and appearance mean very little in cyberspace. Rather, a person's thoughts or at least the thoughts they type are what really counts. So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star.
Usually, this "faceless" communication doesn't create problems. Identity doesn't really matter when you're in a chat-room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this focus on the ideas themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation. Where else can so many people come together to chat?
Supporters of online relationships claim that the Internet allows couples to know how intelligent they are first. Personal appearance doesn't get in the way.
But critics (批评者)of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyber-space. Why? Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them. Internet users can carefully choose their words to fit whatever image they want to give. And they don't have to worry about what their "nonverbal(不用语言表达的)" communication is doing for their image. In a sense, they're not really them-selves. All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace. But not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationship. With so many unknowns, it's easy to let one’s imagination "fill in the blanks". This surely leads to disappointment when couples meet in person. How someone imagines an online friend is often quite different from the real person.
So, before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll, "Life in the real world is far richer than anything you'll find on a computer screen. "
【1】 Which of the following sentences is not true according to the critics?
A. Nobody can truly know another person in cyber-space.

【题目】As a student, you must be excited to know something about American school students. In fact, just like in China, in the United States, high school is usually divided into two periods, the first two or three years are called “junior high school” and the other is “senior high school”.
In China, children enjoy free education of nine years, but in the United States, the students enjoy free education(which will be started when they are about 6 years old) until they are 18 years old. As a result of the free education system, American children have little difficulty in going to senior high school.
American high school students can take part in a lot of activities outside of the classroom. The activities are organized by the school, such as joining a music group or a sports team. Certainly, just like us students in China, American students have to work hard in order to get good marks if they want to go to a good university. They take classes in all kinds of subjects all through the high school period. And students with low marks at the end of a school year are still allowed to go on to the next grade.
In American high schools, there is fighting or hurting or other kinds of bad behaviors. So children who want to go to university are often sent to suburban (郊区的) high schools, where most students want to go to university and the atmosphere (氛围) is quite different.
【1】This passage mainly tells us about ________.
A. education of Chinese middle school
B. education of American high school
C. American free education
D. how to get into universities in America
【2】Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The time of free education in China is longer than that in America.
B. Those who get good marks can go to a good university.
C. American students can take all kinds of subjects during the high school period.
D. They can be allowed to join the next grade even if they fail the school-year exam.
【3】The writer of the passage tells us the truth that ________.
A.the atmosphere in high schools is not good
B. none of the schools in cities are good for learning
C. suburban high schools are good places for learning
D. all the American students want to go to university

【题目】At the age of seven I started taking violin lessons. I practiced half an hour every day, went to lessons once a week, and occasionally played in a group concert. Like most kids, I always thought practicing was boring. If my parents hadn’t been there to make me practice, I probably would have put down my violin and never have picked it up again.
I met Moira when I was 11 at an Irish music party. Moira hosted the party that night, playing the violin, singing and dancing. She made sure that everyone in the room got involved and had a great time. I immediately fell in love with the music she played and the energy that she brought to it. Just a few days after that party, I took my first lesson with Moira, and I continued taking lessons with Moira throughout middle school.
When I started playing the violin with Moira, playing music became something that I loved. She introduced me to so many types of music, from Irish to Old Time, to Cajun. Moira also taught me to play the guitar. Soon we started performing together and were shocked to discover that people actually wanted to hear us! When I began to play the violin, practicing was something that I did at home in my living room, but with Moira’s influence it quickly became something that I did everywhere. I played on street corners, at festivals, at the beach, at parties, at weddings, and late at night in my friends’ kitchens.

【题目】At 9:00 Dick Spivak’s bank telephoned and said his payment was late. ‘The check is in the post,’ Dick replied quickly. At 11:45 Dick left for a 12:00 meeting across town. Arriving late, he explained that traffic had been bad. That evening, Dick’s girlfriend wore a new dress. He hated it. ‘It looks just great on you,’ he said.
Three lies in one day! Yet Dick Spivak is just an ordinary man. Each time, he told himself that sometimes the truth causes too many problems. Most of us tell much the same white lies, harmless untruths that help to save trouble. How often do we tell white lies? It depends in part on our age, education, and even where we live. According to one U.S. study, women are more truthful than men, and honesty increases as we get older.
While most people use little white lies to make life easier, the majority of Americans care about honesty in both public and personal life. They say that people today are less honest than they were ten years ago. Although it is believed that things are getting worse, lying seems to be an age-old human problem. The French philosopher (哲学家) Vauvenarges, writing in the eighteenth century, touched on the truth when he wrote, ‘All men are born truthful and die liars (说谎者).’
【1】When the writer says ‘Dick Spivak is just an ordinary man’, he means _________.
A. it is common that people tell white lies
B. Dick could do nothing about bad traffic
C. it is common that people move theirspan> payment to a later time
D. Dick found it hard to deal with everyday problems
【2】According to the text, most Americans _________.
A. hate white lies B. believe white lies
C. consider others dishonest D. value honesty
【3】Vauvenarges’ remark suggests (暗示) that _________.
A. lying is an age-old human problem
B. dishonesty increases as people get older
C. people were dishonest in the 18th century
D. it is social conditions that make people tell lies
