Now net fiction (小说) , also called computer fiction is
popular in more than 80 countries.
To write computer fictions, the writers don"t have to think
about making any plot. Like reporters, they just go to a lot of
places and collect materials: what most women want, their ideas
about life and love, their happiness and sufferings and emotions.
All these materials are fed into the computer to be processed (处
理) and classified (分类). Then the writers just pick some
materials from every part and fill in some details (细节) and a
story is made up.
The first computer fiction was edited by 13 editors and
published in Canada in 1976. It was a great success and 45 million
copies were sold. Seeing this new process as profittaking (赢利
的) , a big American publishing company bought over the majority
of the 13 Canadian editors and soon a series of computer fictions
were published in the United States.
All the computer fictions have very romantic (浪漫的) titles.
The heroine(女主人公) is always about 20, while the hero is a
30 to 40 bachelor(单身的) , handsome, with money and power.
The hero and the heroine have a happy reunion(团聚) after all
kinds of misunderstandings(误会). Computer fictions are enjoyed
by most women readers of the west. But people doubt if they have
any literary value(文学价值). |

The climate of any place is the kind of weather. It usually has
over a long period of time. The houses we live in, the clothes we wear,
and the food we eat depend on the climate of the place where we live.
Climate is a pattern that is not nearly as simple as we think,
and it is affected by many factors. The distance to the North or
South Pole or to the equator really matters a lot. If you live near
either of the poles, you live in a cold climate, for the place where
you live does not get as much or as direct sunshine as a place
farther away from the poles. In places close to the equator, the
climate is very hot, for they are the parts where the sun shines
almost straight down.
Whether rain or snow falls makes a great difference to the
climate. In hot, dry deserts, little rain falls, but in a hot rainforest,
the amount (数量) of rainfalls is far larger than that in a desert, for
there is a heavy rain almost every day, even several times per day.
Though a rainforest and a desert may be the same distance from the
equator, their climates are rather different from each other.
How much rain or snow falls is considered by some to be
determined by the winds, the surrounding mountains and the
currents (水流) in nearby seas and so on. In short, it is a very
complex natural phenomenon. |
| 1. This passage mainly talks about ____. |
A. weather
B. different climates
C. climate and its determining factors
D. the difference between weather and climate |
| 2. From this passage, we know climate and weather are ____ and climate is ____. |
A. almost the same; the general term of weather
B. quite different; the average weather conditions at a particular place over a period of time
C. not the same; included by weather
D. very much alike; bigger and weather is smaller |
| 3. The climates between a tropical(热带的) desert and a tropical rainforest are different in ____ . |
A. the amount of rainfalls
B. the winds and the surrounding mountains
C. the currents in nearby seas
D. how much sunshine the two different places can get |
| 4. From the context, we can guess that the word "complex" means ____ . |
A. simple
B. easy to understand
C. rather
D. difficult to understand |

We spent the next three days based in Paihia, in the famous
Bay of Islands. Although Paihia is only a town, it is a good base
for exploring the northern part of the Northland. We spent one day
in nearby Waitangi, visiting the site (地点) of the first European
settlements and signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, which created
New Zealand as it is today.
On the site, there is a fantastic museum which explains the
history of the country, as well as the relationship between the
European settlers and the native Maori tribes. There is also an
excellent example of a Maori waka, or carved canoe, in which the
original Maori tribes arrived in Aotearoa, or the Land of the Long
White Cloud.
It was a great introduction to New Zealand history and culture
and would give us a good basis for understanding the Maori culture
that we would meet with as we traveled through the country.
The weather wasn"t fit to sailing through the blue, island-
dotted bay, so the next day we headed across the point to the
Kauri Coast and the Waipoa Kauri Forest to see the high Kauri
trees, one of the few places in the country where these big trees
that once covered the island still exist. Standing hundreds of feet
high, with girths that would take 20 men to circle, these
prehistoric(史前的) trees were used for everything from wakas to
homes. Most were cut down, and only a few still survive. The
trees in the forest are over 1 000 years old, and walking along the
paths deep into the bush to see them was like walking through land
where dinosaurs once walked.
On the way back, we stopped in several small villages and
towns, each of which seemed more Shire-like. We had almost
forgotten that this was Lord of The Rings land, but in the rolling
green hills of the central northland, we remembered that Bilbo
Baggins and company could have lived here, too. |
| 1. Which may tell the main idea of the passage? |
A. A fantastic museum.
B. Our trip to New Zealand.
C. The Kauri trees of New Zealand.
D. Our trip to the Bay of Islands. |
| 2. _____ has made New Zealand today. |
A. The Waitangi people
B. European settlements
C. The local people
D. The signing of the Treaty of Waitangi |
| 3. The second and third paragraphs mainly talk about ____. |
A. a museum
B. Maori Waka
C. the Maori culture
D. New Zealand history |
| 4. How did the author understand the Maori culture? |
A. By reading a book about New Zealand culture.
B. By experiencing the Maori life.
C. By visiting the local villages.
D. By being introduced. |
| 5. According to the passage, the underlined word " girths" in Paragraph 4 probably refers to ____. |
A. the height of the tree
B. the length around the tree
C. the width of the tree
D. the length across the tree |

Canada Is Our Neighbour
Canada and the United States are neighbours. They are on
the same land. They share the same long boundary(国界) . These
two nations are same in many ways. Canada buys many goods from
the United States. Cars and clothes are two examples. The United
States also buys goods from Canada. Much of the paper used in
the United States comes from Canada. Some of the oil we use
comes from Canada, too.
Americans travel to Canada on holiday. And Canadians often
visit the United States. It is easy for the people of one country to
go to the other country.
Canadians read about the United States in newspapers and
magazines. Many Americans watch Canadian baseball and hockey
(曲棍球) matches on Sundays.
However, there are important differences between the United
States and Canada. The United States has many more people.
Because the population is smaller, there are more open
places in Canada. There is much unused land. This is another
important difference. |

When you are travelling, whether on business or for pleasure, you often need to
stay in a hotel. The kind of hotel you choose probably is decided above all according to

the prices are low, or there are large hotels with all the very latest comforts,where you could
spend all the money you have in the bank for one very comfortable night.
There are several different kinds of people who go to hotels. Some want to live, rather than
just stay in a hotel. The hotels which are designed to meet their needs are called residential hotels
(公寓旅馆). However,most people who stay in hotels are either business people or tourists on holiday.
In most hotels, there are two kinds of rooms: single rooms, for the use of one person, and double
rooms,for the use of two people. In addition, in large hotels, there are also suites (套房) , which
include two or more rooms connected together - perhaps a bed-room and a living room. They are for

Traveling can be a fun way to gain life experiences, especially during Spring
Break-a week-long school vacation in the United States. But what if you"re a student
and don"t have enough money for a trip? Don"t worry. Here are some useful suggestions.
●Save: This probably is the most important preparation for traveling. Cut expenses to
fatten your wallet so you"ll have more choices about where to go and how to get there.
●Plan ahead: Don"t wait until the last minute to plan your trip. Tickets may cost more
when bought on short notice. Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security
(安全) and savings.
●Do your homework: No matter where you go, research the places you will visit. Decide
what to see. Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants.
●Plan sensibly: Write down how much you expect to spend for food and hotels. Stick to
(坚持) your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything.
●Travel in groups: Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places. By traveling
with others you can share costs and experiences.
●Work as you go: Need more money to support your trip? Look for work in the places you visit.
●Go off the beaten path: Tourist cites may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and
go to a less-known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting activities and sights.
●Pack necessary things: The most important things to take are not always clothes. Remember
medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant.
●Use the Intemet: The net can help to save money. Some useful websites include www.
Travelcity. com, www. bargains- lowest fare(票价 ) . com and www. economic travelcity. com.
●By planning sensibly, even students can enjoy the travel. Your travel experiences will be
remembered for a lifetime. |
