13．Letter One
                                                                21 July，2008
Dear Sirs，
Our foreman，Mr．Li Ming，had an accident on July 6，2008．He crushed his forefinger when operating a machine．At that time，we didn't think the accident was serious enough to report，but Mr．Li has returned to his work after an absence of two weeks and is still unable to carry on his normal duties．We therefore wish to make a claim （索賠） under the above policy （保險(xiǎn)單） and shall appreciate your sending us the necessary claim form．

Letter Two
27 July，2008
Dear Sirs，
     We have received your letter of July 21 and noted that you made a claim for the accident of Mr．Li Ming．We would，however，remind you of the terms of the policy that this claim should have been submitted within three days after the accident．More than two weeks have now passed．Consequently，your claim to compensation（賠償）under the policy has been forfeited （放棄、沒(méi)收）．
Nevertheless，as an exceptional measure，we have decided to overlook its late submission，though we are bound to say that it should have been clear from Mr．Li's absence from work that this accident was more serious than you had supposed and that there seems to be no good reason why this claim should not have been made earlier．
We are enclosing （附上） a claim form as requested，but must emphasize that future claims cannot be entertained if you cannot comply with the terms of the policy．
                                                                Yours faithfully，
                                                                  （Signature）

14．Feeling lonely has a bigger influence on older people's life expectancy（預(yù)期壽命） than smoking，top government adviser David Halpern said earlier this year．
This shocking fact，given that loneliness is reaching high levels in the UK-with 3.1 million over-65s going more than a week without seeing a friend or family member-has caused quite a debate．Later retirement age is one idea for how the government might respond，but I think we can make a change without waiting for a new law．
My solution？Yup，you guessed it：the web．OK，I'm not mad enough to suggest that a piece of electronic equipment is a magic bullet（靈丹妙藥） to loneliness，but I do，hand on heart，think that encouraging more older people to get online is the simplest and cheapest tool we can equip them with so they can reawaken old，or form new，friendships．
One of my favorite jobs as Digital Champion is judging Age UK's Internet Champion of the Year Award．Looking through this year's shortlist，it was obvious that each participant had been suddenly filled with a desire to socialize because of the way the net had widened their social circle．Reading the shortlist，what also struck me was how far from rocket science getting older people online is．
One of this year's winners，Brenda，has a great story that's both totally special and also ver y typical．Brenda felt extremely lonely after her husband's death．Several months later，she got online．Having quickly got used to using the computer，Brenda amazingly managed to make contact with a soldier who had stayed with her family during the Second World War．Starting up their friendship again after more than half a century is the kind of miracle（奇跡） the Internet has made us almost take for granted-but which would have been almost unthinkable just ten years ago．
32．Why did the author suggest the web as a solution？D
A．It is an all-purpose tool．
B．It is strongly advised by the government．
C．It is the only way older people make new friends．
D．It can solve the problem of loneliness in an easy way．
33．What did the author learn from the shortlist？C
A．Participants had a similar social circle．
B．Participants found it difficult to get online．
C．Participants benefited greatly from the web．
D．Participants knew each other because of the net．
34．As a lonely old woman，BrendaD．
A．searched hard for her old friend        
B．became a new friend of a soldier
C．lived alone for more than half a century  
D．got in touch with an old friend on the net
35．What is the best title for the text？A
A．Friends Online                     
B．Debate on Loneliness  
C．Encourage Older People             
D．Help an Internet Beginner．

11．Zheng Pengyu：Interest is the best teacher．Classrooms that weren't fixed could give students the chance to explore their interests．At the same time，they would be able to learn on their own because they would have to make their own decisions．All in all，the new system would be a good chance to inspire students'love for studying．
Sun Yao：Despite its benefits，I'm worried about whether the new system would work．Going to different classrooms would take up a big part of our break time and we would have less time to relax after class．Also，not all schools could offer so many different classes．
Shi Zhenghan：I support students learning in different classes．It would solve the problem of some students thinking the classes are too easy while some think they are too difficult．Teachers could also teach more effectively．What's more，friendships built while in different classes might be a pleasant surprise．
Zhou Qingqing：In my opinion，studying in different classrooms might affect students'psychological development．They might find it difficult to develop deep and strong friendships with other students if they had to change classrooms constantly．They would also lose their sense of belonging to a certain class．
Hu Qile：I applaud the idea．It would help teachers set up special teaching plans for different classes．For students，making choices by themselves could encourage them to be responsible．Changing classrooms could also help remove the boredom of doing the same dull routine （慣例） every day．
Wang Xiaoqian：The new system might help with students'individual development，but I still prefer the current system．Studying in one fixed classroom，students with different academic levels can help each other．Spending your senior middle school years with the same classmates is an unfortgettable experience．
21．According to Sun Yao，which of the following sentences is TRUE？B
A．The new system will work if great measures are taken．
B．All the schools can't afford so many different classes．
C．Students will have more time to relax．
D．He supports the system because of its benefits．
22．Among the following people，who prefers the new system？C
A．Sun Yao   
B．Zhou Qingqing   
C．Hu Qile 　　
D．Wang Xiaoqian
23．What is the passage about？A
A．Different opinions about changing classrooms．
B．Students find it difficult to develop friendship．
C．Schools should offer different classes to students．
D．Changing classrooms can help with students'individual development．

8．Pocket Tape-Recorders"Family and Home Magazine"test what's on the market now．
1）Pearlcorder 702 64
This simple model at the bottom of the Olympus range scored the most points for its excellent quality of recording．Background noise hardly affects the sound and recording from a pocket is perfectly possible，but it doesn't turn off automatically．
Tape length：30minutes per side．Weight：240g．
2）Sony M9 49.95
Small and very good looking，sony's latest offering scored most for appearance．Sounds clear，but there is slight machine noise．The big control buttons are a great improvement on some of the complicated little controls on other tape-recorders．Doesn't switch off automatically but a red light shows if the machine is still running．

Tape length：60minutes per side．Weight：230g．
4）Imperial OEM．MC 29.95
Cheap and simple compared with the rest，but recording was good as long as there was no background noise．Use only its own make of cassette．No light to show it is on； no fast forward button and the record button makes a loud noise．
Tape length：30minutes per side．Weight：285g．

Larry and Rita Krznarich were camping in northern Wisconsin last year．The day started off nice，but took a turn for the worse in the evening．So they turned on their weather radio．
"I turned the radio on and there was a specific warning：A storm is about to hit the Turtle-Flambeau．Take cover immediately，"says Larry Krznarich．"I said to Rita，‘Head for the table．I'm going to warn the neighbors．'"
Larry joined Rita under the picnic table and within minutes a tornado hit．A falling tree hit Larry and broke his leg bone，but without the warning the couple says things could have been worse．
"The tent，where we may have been if not for the weather radio，was completely covered by trees； all of our things were completely covered，"says Rita Krznarich．
With spring here，people are being reminded to plan for severe weather．That includes buying a weather radio．
"The great thing about the weather radio is that it's instantaneous．It's directly from the weather service，so you're getting information at exactly the same time they're getting it，"says Tod Pritchard，Emergency Preparedness Coordinator．
Larry has recovered from his injuries and now the couple makes sure everyone they know has a weather radio．
"Ever since the storm，we've given weather radios as gifts to people．You can get them for $20so there's no excuse not to have one or a couple，"says Larry．

B．a(chǎn)oid camping in the Turtle-Flambeau

D．protect themselves from bad weather
3．What does the underlined word"instantaneous"in the text mean？C

5．It was 1：30 a．m．Monday at London's Savoy Hotel and，with autograph books and cameras，a group of brighteyed tennis fans of all ages were waiting for just a glimpse of Maria Sharapova（莎拉波娃）．
    The 17-year-old girl defeated champion Serena Williams（威廉姆斯） 6-1 6-4 in the Wimbledon（溫網(wǎng)）final on Saturday in London to become the first Russian to win a single title at the championships．
    A silver lining to a depressing，rain-hit Wimbledon，she has raised heated passion．
    Nobody was complaining，though，for the 1.83-metre Sharapova has created a welcome wave of interest in tennis，something missing in recent years．
    Not even Anna Kournikova（庫(kù)爾尼科娃）evoked（喚起） such passion when she broke on to the scene．To look good on court is one thing，but Sharapova can actually play the game too．Extremely well．
    She proved it over 13 days at the world's most prestigious tournament．Playing tennis of the highest quality throughout，the Russian's triumph not only lifted the tournament from fits of rain-induced depression but also salvaged（拯救；挽回） the season for the woman's tour．
    Sharapova was given no easy ride in the tournament，having to beat 1999 champion Lindsay Davenport（達(dá)文波特）in the semifinals and twice-champion Serena Williams for the title．Neither caused her much concern．
"I don't remember too much about the final，"Sharapova giggled．"I was in my own place．"
    She will find it increasingly hard to find any place to call her own from now on after advertisers identified her as the most marketable woman in sport．
    In Russia she is sensational news．She headlined the news bulletins and was telephoned by former Russian President Boris Yeltsin after her triumph．
