阅读理解。     There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art. Washington, D.C. has
the National Gallery of Art (美术馆); Paris has the Luvre; London, the British Museum. Florida International
University (FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see. And it does so without a building, or even a wall for
its drawings and paintings. FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States.
You don"t have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a computer linked to a telephone. You can
call the telephone number of a university computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is stored
in the school computer. It is computer art, produced electronically by artists on their own computers. In only a
few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.
     Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum. He says he starts the museum because computer
artists had no place to show their works.
     A computer artist can only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy discs, to others
to see on their computers. He can also put his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures on paper, the
computer artist needs an expensive laser printer.
     Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr Shostak said the FIU museum will make
computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists enjoy their work
much more if they have an audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge
audience for the electronic museum. 1. The main purpose of this text is to give information about _____.A. museums throughout the world
B. an electronic art museum in Miami, U.S.A.
C. art exhibitions in Florida International University
D. latest development of computer art 2. To see the art in FIU museum, you need _____. A. floppy discs
B. a computer and a printer
C. pictures and drawings on paper
D. a computer connected to the museum by telephone line3. The museum was started when _____. A. Robert Shostak wanted to do something for computer scientists
B. Robert Shostak wanted to help computer artists
C. art students needed a place to show their works
D. computer scientists wanted to do something about art 4. The words "an audience"in the last paragraph refer to _____.A. art students
B. computer owners
C. exhibits in the museum
D. those who will enjoy art

阅读理解。     Who are the elders in your family? The most common answer is that they are your parents, grandparents,
uncles, aunts, and elder cousins--in a word, any relative who is older than you. But that doesn"t really answer
the question, does it? In a normal family, there is a big difference between being elderly and being an elder.
     Elders are the storytellers, the cooks, the historians, the authorities, the knitters, and the workhorses. They
are the people we respect and turn to for answers or help when we are in trouble, because of their many years
of life experience. Most of all, they are the people who raised you and your loved ones and helped you growing
into the people you are. For many years, they carried the burden of caring for your family and leading it to
better times. Now it"s your turn to dote on them. Ensuring the welfare of your elders should come as naturally
to us as raising our children.
     Unfortunately, too many people take their parents" and grandparents" ability to care for them for granted.
And in a country where so many of us live hundreds of miles from our families, looking after loved ones can
be difficult. Even so, you should make sure your loved ones are taken care of no matter where they live, and
try to look after the seniors living alone in your neighbor, too. Taking responsibility for the elders in our society
in an important thing that all citizens should do. 1. According to the author, elders are those who _____. A. are much older than us
B. bring us up by working hard
C. give us money and food
D. have many interesting stories 2. Which of the following opinions doesn"t the author agree with? A. naturally that the elders should take care of themselves
B. It"s our duty to take care of the elders when they are old
C. We should take care of the elders even if a long distance separates us from them
D. Looking after the elders is as important as raising our children 3. In which of the following columns would you most probably read this passage? A. Education
B. Parenting
C. Society
D. Family 4. The passage was written to _____.A. explain what elders are like
B. criticize those people who don"t respect elders
C. Explain why we should love elders
D. Call on people to respect and love elders

阅读理解。     Depression (抑郁症) is a serious problem today. Depression causes workers to be unproductive, causing
companies and countries to lose billions of dollars. One expert says that depression is like cancer because it is
"widespread,costly and deadly". Depression hits one person in five around the world.
     Although people have believed depression to be a problem among the rich and educated, studies show that
depression is a problem among everyone. Over any six-month period, between five to seven percent of the
world"s population will be suffering from a serious depression.
     Suicide (自***) rates among people suffering from the disease in its extreme,or clinical form were 80
percent higher than in the population at large, and sufferers were four times more likely to have heart attacks.
People who suffer from depression often have problems sleeping,getting upon time, and doing work
productively.
      Depression,which researchers agree has its origin in the genes (基因), brings loss of confidence and
ability to concentrate-making it impossible for employees and managers to work efficiently.
     Depression is made more serious in China by Chinese"s inability to face it.Many people believe that
depressed people are either weak or lazy. Besides, there is no good treatment,with few specialists available.
     "Most patients in China just don"t get help, "a Chinese doctor says."In my hospital.I have to see 30 or 40
patients in a morning,just have time to say "Hello how do you feel?"
     In Western countries,people are not afraid to admit that they have depression,but most do not tell it to their
boss,because they fear that their boss would fire them.
     "In my experience, aging bosses are the most willing to admit they have it. Because they feel the most
secure about themselves,"an American doctor says.
     Hopefully,in the near future,people around the world will be able to admit that they have depression so that
they can get the right treatment. 1. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. It is widely believed that everyone may suffer from depression.
B. Depression brings great problems to its sufferers in their life and work
C. Depression is a commonly-existing problem only in rich countries.
D. The poorer and the less educated a person is,the less he will suffer from depression. 2. Compared to normal people,the depressed people are likely to be _____. A.very unconfident and often absent-minded
B. easy to avoid being hit by heart attacks
C. working efficiently and productively
D. either weak or lazy 3. Depression becomes more serious in China because of _____. A. the understanding of the problem
B. the lack of treatment and doctors
C. their unwillingness to tell it to their boss
D. the doctors" careless work 4. What can we infer from the passage?A. People are suffering from depression because of the shortage of specialists.
B. The aging bosses around the world dare to say they are depressed.
C. More and more patients will turn to specialists for help.
D. Western people are braver than Chinese people.

Experts are finding your standard first aid response may be the worst thing you can do in an emergency. Here"s how to update your first aid kit. CUTS AND SCRAPES When the skin isn"t broken, it"s hard to beat iodine (碘酒) for killing bacteria(细菌). 3. _____________ doctors use it to clean before surgery. But when there"s a cut, full - strength iodine and rubbing alcohol can be harmful to skin cells, preventing healing. Putting iodine on cuts and wounds kills bacteria, but it won"t clean the wound. The most effective way is washing the wound with water. BURNS If you spread some butter on the burn to ease the pain, it isn"t a good idea. Butter was thought to cool the burn, but it can cause infection and create and environment for bacterial growth. Run the burn under cool water immediately to help remove the heat and put an end to the damaging process. Wrap the burn with a bandage, and keep it clean and dry. If blisters (水泡) form, don"t break them. POISONING When a child swallows anything poisonous, parents probably think they"re well prepared if ipecac (催吐剂) is on hand. Wrong. Ipecac was thought to be a good way to treat a child who had swallowed a poisonous substance, but not any more because it doesn"t always remove the toxic substance (有毒物质). That may cause dehydration (脱水) and prevent doctors from giving other treatments. EXCESS BLEEDING Everyone learns how to stop bleeding with a tourniquet (止血带). But studies show this method causes more harm than good. Tourniquets can increase the risk of tissue damage or even the loss of a limb. Apply direct pressure to the wound. Simply place a clean cloth on the wound and press firmly; don"t remove the cloth, event if it gets black. If necessary, add more cloths. If that"s not enough, you can further slow the blood flow by applying pressure to the main artery (动脉) of the upper arm or leg.

Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?

Why read, and sometimes even write poetry? That question is not difficult to answer if we change the word poetry to songs. I sing when I feel good. When I sing my favorite songs, I feel better. Sometimes when I am listening to music and to the song words, I feel that it was written for me. A good song always makes me feel something. There are songs that I sing in my head between classes and songs that I want to sing when the school bell rings by the end of the day. They help me get through the day. They are like bright and warm colours in the middle of greys and shades. I like songs about love and friendship. The extraordinary thing is, my feelings are more special when I sing my favorite songs in English. I also like reading. I used to avoid poetry until an e-pal told me I should recite poems and not look up the meaning of the words. Poetry uses many difficult words and idioms, but the best thing is to just forget about them. In the beginning I felt quite strange. Now I always lock the door. Reading aloud gives you a strange feeling, but when you have some practice and fall into the rhythm, the rhyme and the sounds of the words, it is really a special experience. I started with small poems, but now I think I most like long poems. I have different feelings with different poems. When I have had a bad day at school, I read Keats and forget everything. when I am sad I read Wordsworth by the light of candle. When the poem is finished, I close the book and my sadness is gone.
1. I like song words because _________.
A. they are bright B. they are colorful C. they are greedy D. my feelings given by them are more special
2. Choose the best explanation of the word " e-pal".
A. a machine B. a person C. a piece of information D. a friend online
3. From Paragraph 4,we can learn _____.
A. we should read poems aloud B. poems are strange C. poems are difficult to understand D. I am special
4. What"s the main idea of the passage?
A. We should read poems with doors closed B. We should first sing songs then read poems C. Reading poems can bring people pleasure just like singing a song D. We should first read short poems then long ones
5. From the passage,we can infer that ______.
A. the writer used to like poetry very much B. songs and poems are the same C. the writer fell in love with poems as soon as e-pal told him something. D. now reading poems is part of the writer"s life.
