         When American inventor Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876, it was a revolution
    in communication. For the first time, people could talk to each other over great distances. Over the last
    two decades a new means of spoken communication has appeared: the mobile phone.
         The mobile phone is like a two-way radio. But the two-way radio is a limited means of communication. As soon as the users move out of range of each other's broadcast area, the signal is lost. In the 1940s,
    researchers experimented with the idea of using a number of radio masts (无线电杆) to pick up signals
    from two-way radios. A caller would always be within range of one of the masts. When he or she moved
    too far away from one mast, the next mast would pick up the signal. (Scientists referred to each mast's
    reception area as being a "cell". This is why in many countries mobile phones are called "cellphones".)
         However, 1940s' technology was just at the beginning. The "mobile phones" were huge boxes. They
    had to be moved by car.
         The first real mobile telephone call was made in 1973 by Dr Martin Cooper. As soon as his invention
    was complete, he tested it by calling a rival (竞争对手) scientist to announce his success. Within a
    decade, mobile phones became available to the public.
         They have changed the way we do a lot of things. One powerful feature is: the short message service
    (SMS) or text message. It's the perfect communication method for the busy modern lifestyle. The text
    message has changed the way we write in English. The language construction became more lax (松散的). Traditional rules of grammar and spelling are much less important.
         Over the last few years mobiles have become more and more advanced. We have seen the
    introduction of cameras, global positioning system and Internet access.
         Alexander Graham Bell would be surprised if he could see how far the science of the telephone has
    developed in less than 150 years. If he were around today, he might say: ''That's gr8! But I'm v busy
    rite now. Will call U 2nite."        
    1. The article is intended to ______.
    A. warn people of the possible risks in using mobile phones
    B. inform readers of the history and benefits of mobile phones
    C. convince people of the uses of mobile phones
    D. predict the applications of mobile phones
    2. What's the correct time order about the development of communication?
    a. the telephone invented by Alexander Graham Bell
    b. mobile telephone call made by Dr Martin Cooper
    c. "mobile phones" with very large boxes 
    d. mobiles with cameras, GPS and Internet access
    A. a, c, b, d          
    B. b, a, c, d          
    C. a, c, d, b            
    D. a, b, c, d
    3. The last sentence of the whole passage ''That's gr8! But I'm v busy rite now. Will call U 2nite." may probably means ______.
    A. That's great! But I'm very busy right now. (I) Will call you tonight
    B. It's eight now. I'm very busy. (I) Will call you tonight
    C. That's great! But I'm busy writing now. (I) Will call you at two tonight
    D. "8" is great! But I'm very busy right now. (I) Will call it "U" to night
    4. What do you think of the author according to the last paragraph?
    A. Humorous.      
    B. Ironic (讽刺的).      
    C. Kind.            
    D. Worried.
    1-4: BAAA

    Crowd controls could soon become an important skill for climbers on Mount Everest, as important as physical strength or watching the weather. In a single day last week, nearly 40 people reached the top of the world --- a record. Reports from base camp spoke of queues at dangerous ridges and crowds as people passed each other in the final dash for the 8, 848 meters top.
    More traditional mountaineers tease about the circus atmosphere surrounding Everest in re­cent years, and there are warnings that the crowds are making the mountain more dangerous. In 1996, 14 died on the mountain when the members of several groups were trapped at high altitudes by sudden snowstorms. Bad weather in early May led to this year’s jam on the summit ridge, but the loss, luckily, was light. Just four climbers died, in­cluding a Nepali Sherpa who had made 11 previous successful climbing.
    Traditionalists are also worried about the growing tendency of climbers to set records and achieve “firsts”, rather than simply climb the mountain. This year’s crop of mountaineers included the oldest man, 64-year-old Sherman Bull from Connecticut, and the youngest, 16-year-old Temba Tsheri Sherpa of Nepal. An American with only one arm was on the mountain this year; an Indian with no legs also tried but failed. Erik Weihennieyer, an Ameri­can, became the first blind person to reach the top of the world. His fellow climbers stayed in front of him on the way up, describing the type of land and ringing bells.
    Nepal（尼泊尔）views Mount Everest as something of a cash cow. The government charges journeys a minimum of $ 70,000. That is probably why officials in Katmandu are ignoring concerns about overcrowding and talking about even more climbers coming next year. But a celebration of the 48th anniversary of the first conquest of Everest, by Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, was cancelled after violent strikes. Tumultuous（动乱的）Nepali politics, it seems, could be just the crowd-control mea­sure that Everest needs.
    【小题1】What is the problem that the climbers have to face in recent years?

    A．Bad Weather.B．Technology.C．Overcrowding.D．Physical strength.
    【小题2】What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
