(一) 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。

A

We are all busy talking about and using the Internet, but how many of us know the history of the Internet? Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working all the time.

At first, the Internet was only used by the government, but in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1900s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made surfing the Internet more convenient(方便).

Today it is easy to go on-line and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mails is more and more popular among students.

The Internet had now become one of the most important parts of people’s life. 41. The Internet has a history of _______ years.

A. about 46

B. less than 36

C. more than 56 D. nearly 36 B. make itself keep on working all the time D. make computers expensive C. hospitals and banks D. schools C. Software

D. Information

42. Scientists set up a new network system to ________. A. make computers cheaper C. break down the whole network

B. universities B. Scientists

43. At first the Internet was only used by ________. A. the government

44. ________ made “surfing” the Internet more convenient. 45. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. In the 1960s computer network system went wrong easily. B. Computers are much cheaper than before. C. Today the internet is used everywhere.

D. People had enough software to get on-line fifty years ago.

B

In American schools there is something called Home-coming Day. Many high schools and colleges with a football team have a homecoming game. This can be the most important event of the year except graduation(毕业) or commencement(授奖典礼) day. Students plan homecoming day for many weeks in

advance(预先).

Several days before Homecoming, students start to decorate(装饰) the school. There are signs to wish luck to the team, and many other signs to welcome all the graduates. Many people still come to Homecoming twenty or thirty years after their graduation.

The members of school clubs build booths(摊位) and sell lemonade, apples and sandwiches. Some clubs help to welcome visitors.

During the day people like to look for teachers that they remember from long ago. Often they see old friends and they talk together about those happy years in school.

Everyone soon comes to watch the football game. When the game is half over, the band comes onto the field and plays school songs. Another important moment is when the Home-corning Queen or King appears. All the students vote a most popular student Homecoming Queen or King. It is a great honor to be chosen. Homecoming is a happy day, but it is not perfect unless the football team wins the game. Even if the team loses, the students still enjoy Homecoming. Some stay at the school to dance, and others go to a party. For everyone it is a day worth remembering.

（三）阅读以下短文，然后回答问题

Newton had to leave the university in 1665 and go home. It was when he was at home that he made two of his greatest discoveries.

From boyhood, he had been interested in Astronomy(天文学). And while at Cambridge University, he would sit up late at night to watch the stars. But he was dissatisfied with the telescopes(望远镜) of those days because they didn’t show him a clear picture of things. At first he thought there must be something wrong with the lens(透镜). But no matter how hard he tried to improve the lens, the trouble was still there.

This set Newton thinking. He began to study the nature of light and colors. In the end he found that sunlight, or white light, is actually made up of a row of colors. He counted seven colors in all. This was of course a great discovery. But Newton still wasn’t satisfied. His mind was busy with another problem. Before Newton’s time, scientists had already discovered that the sun, not the earth, was the centre of the universe, and they knew that the earth and the other planets moved round the sun. But they couldn’t explain why this was so until Newton gave the answer.

One autumn evening while Newton was sitting under an apple tree thinking over these problems he saw the moon rise in the sky. Why, he asked himself, should the moon go round the earth, never leaving the same path? At that moment, he heard an apple drop off the tree. Why didn’t it go sideways or fly up? There seemed to be

one reason: the earth was drawing it—this is the force of gravity(地心引力). If a stone is tied to the end of a string(细绳) and whirled(旋转) around, it flies round and round in circles because of pull of the string. In the same way, the force of gravity, thought Newton, must be the force that keeps the moon going round the earth and the planets going round the sun.

56. Which university did Newton ever study?

_________________________________________________________________________________ 57. Why wasn’t Newton pleased with the telescopes of those days?

_________________________________________________________________________________ 58. Who discovered the sun was the centre of the universe?

_________________________________________________________________________________ 59. What do you think makes the earth going round the sun?

Class 3, Senior One

Guangzhou No. 2 Middle School Jun. 16, 2007 Dear Mike,

I was very glad to receive your letter on Jun. 15th. At your request, I’ll tell something about my school life. After studied in senior one for half a year, I am used to the study and life in senior middle school. I have nine subjects: Chinese, maths, English, physics, chemistry, politics, history, geography and P.E. School hours usually begin at 8:00 a.m. and end at 4:00 p.m. After class, we have sports, such as ball games and so on, or do some reading in the school library for about one hour. Then I go home. In the evening I usually do my homework or surf the internet at home. I go to bed at half past ten.

Spring is coming near. Guangzhou, with the name of Flower City, is very beautiful in spring. Welcome to Guangzhou, Mike.

I’ll appreciate it if you can tell me something about your school life in your next letter. I’m looking forward to it.

With best regards.

Yours truly, Li Ming
