19．Laptop computers are popular all over the world．People use them on trains and airplanes，in airports and hotels．These laptops connect people to their workplace．In the United States today，laptops also connect students to their classrooms．
Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want．Within five years，each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop．The laptops are part of a＄10 million computer program at Westlake，a 110-year-old college．The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet．In addition，they will be able to use e-mail to"speak"with their teachers，their classmates，and their families．However，the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs．They can work with it at home，in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees-anywhere at all!
Because of the many changes in computer technology，laptop use in higher education，such as colleges and universities，is workable．As laptops become more powerful，they become more similar to desktop computers．In addition，the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet，but also libraries and other resources．State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students．State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities，too．
At Westlake College，more than 60 percent of the staff use computers．The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons．As one Westlake teacher said，"Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we're giving students a window on the world．They can see everything and do everything．"

10．CThe iPhone，the iPad，each of Apple's products sounds cool and has become a fashion．Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter"i"-and many other brands are following suit．The BBC's iPlayer-which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet-adopted the title in 2008．A lovely bear-popular in the US and UK-that plays music and video is called"iTeddy"．A slimmed down version of London's Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name"i"．
In general，single-letter prefixes have been popular since the 1990s，when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use．
Most"i"products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent"i"，it's no surprise that they've selected this fashionable name．
But it's hard to see what's so special about the letter"i"．Why not use"a"，"b"，or"c"？According to Tony Thorne，head of the Language Center at King's College，London，"i"works because its meaning has become ambiguous．When Apple uses"i"，no one knows whether it means Internet，information，individual or interactive，Thorne told BBC Magazines．"Even when Apple created the iPad，it seems it didn't have one clear definition．"He says．
"However，thanks to Apple，the term is now associated with portability（輕便）．"Adds Thorne．
Clearly the letter"i"also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual．Each person believes they have their own needs，and they love personalized products for this reason．
Along with"Google"and"blog"，readers of BBC Magazines voted"i"as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade．
But as history shows，people grow tired of fashion．From the 1900s to 1990s，products with"2000"in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern．However，as we entered the new century，the trend disappeared．
61．People use iPlayer toD．
A．listen to music   B．make a call  C．read newspapers  D．watch TV programs online
62．We can infer that the Independent"i"is aimed atC．
A．fashionable women       B．old readers     C．young readers    D．engineers
63．The underlined word"ambiguous"in Paragraph 4 meansB．
A．popular      B．uncertain      C．definite       D．unique
64．The writer suggests thatA．
A．the popularity of"i"products may not last long       
B．iTeddy is a live bear
C．the letter"b"replaces letter"i"to name the products  
D．"i"products are often of high quality
65．Nowadays，the"i"term often reminds people of the products which areA．
A．portable        B．environmentally friendly     C．a(chǎn)dvanced      D．recyclable．

4．It is not a good idea to stop the actor Richard Griffiths in the middle of a play．During the past year he had stopped performances many times at the National Theatre when mobile phones rang，and he threw out one member of the audience because she failed to turn off her phone．
So when a mobile rang out for the third time during his performance in Alan Bennett's The History Boys，he spoke angrily to the theatergoer，"I am not going to compete with these electronic devices （裝置）．"
Griffiths'actions led to a debate in the UK theatre world over whether phones should be forbidden by law from British theatres．Actors have already asked the govern-
ment to legalize the use of an electronic device that stops mobile phone signals in theatres．
Technology companies have"stopping"devices that send out a high-powered signal on the same frequency as a mobile phone，stopping the mobile phone signals．
However，these are forbidden in many countries because they might stop emergency （緊急情況） calls from being made．
Rosemary Squire，president of the Society of West End Theatre，said，"Phones are one of the biggest problems theatres face．We should look at equipment that could stop phones or make a London-wide theatre rule．"
Nick Allott，the managing director of Sir Cameron Mackintosh's theatre group，said，"We would all welcome some ways of keeping phones from ringing but doctors and emergency workers need to be connected in a theatre and we mustn't stop that．"What can we do to solve the problem？
66．The first two paragraphs are written toC．
A．tell us some information about the famous actor Griffiths
B．introduce the topic of whether or not to forbid phones in theatres
C．blame Griffiths for his rude behavior
D．give us advice on mobile phone use
67．What can we know from the second paragraph？B
A．Surely Griffiths did better than mobile phones in the theatre．
B．Griffiths didn't want mobile phones to affect his performance．
C．Griffiths was jealous that mobile phones attracted the audience's attention．
D．Griffiths taught theatergoers a lesson in the performance as a teacher．
68．According to the passage，"stopping"devicesC．
A．have the same functions as mobile phones
B．cause the biggest problem theatres have to face
C．prevent the mobile phones signals from being received
D．help doctors or emergency workers receive emergency calls
69．According to Nick Allott，D．
A．"stopping"devices can make the sound of mobile phones disappear
B．no one except doctors and emergency workers should have mobile phones
C．phones are one of the biggest problems theatres face
D．We can't totally stop the use of phones in theatres．
70．What is the passage probably going to talk about next？C

8．You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator．When you choose to be a victim，the world is a cold and difficult place．"They"did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering．"They"are wrong and bad，and life is terrible as long as"they"are around．Or you may blame yourself for all your problems，thus internalizing（內(nèi)化）your victimization．The truth is，your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others．
Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently．They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives，but they don't let this get in the way．They know they have their weaknesses，yet they don't blame themselves when they fail．Whatever happens，they have choice in the matter．They believe their dance with each sacred（神圣的）moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth．
Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities，yet their experience of life is worlds apart．Victims relish （沉溺）in anger，guilt，and other emotions that cause others---and even themselves---to feel like victims，too．Creators consciously choose love，inspiration，and other qualities which inspire not only themselves，but all around them．Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives．
In reality，all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives．One person，on losing a job or a special relationship，may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months，years，or even a lifetime．Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief，then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life．
In every moment and every circumstance，you can choose to have fuller，richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within，and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are．
69．What does the word"they"in Paragraph 1 probably refer to？A
A．People and things around you
B．Opportunities and problems．
C．Creators and their choices
D．Victims and their sufferings．
70．According to Paragraph 2，creatorsC．
A．seem willing to experience failures in life
B．possess the ability to predict future life
C．handle ups and downs of life wisely
D．have potential to create something new
71．What can we learn from Paragraph 3？B
A．Creators and victims face quite different things in life．
B．Creators and victims are masters of their lives．
C．Victims can influence more people than creators．
D．Compared with victims，creators are more emotional．
72．The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show thatA．
A．strong attachment to sufferings in life pulls people into victims．
B．people need family support to deal with challengers in life．
C．it takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their pains．
D．one's experiences determine his attitude toward life．
73．What is the author's purpose in writing this passage？D
A．To define victims and creators．
B．To evaluate victims against creators．
C．To explain the relationship between victims and creators．
D．To suggest the transformation from victims to creators．

9．Like human beings，dogs may catch cold because of cold weather，wet conditions or can also get it from other sick dogs．If a dog has a running nose and watery eyes，coughs or sneezes（打噴嚏），then it is quite probable that the dog has caught cold．
A dog's cold can get over after a few days without treatment but it totally depends upon the owner to treat it with medications or improve its immune power （免疫力） to get rid of the cold naturally．Following are some of the things you can do if your dog gets a cold．
You can improve its immune power by giving it proper nutrient diet．Healthy food can really do wonders．Try to give it food which is either suggested by the vet（獸醫(yī)） or is healthy for your pet．Increase the intake of food which is rich in vitamins A，C and E．
Keep your dog warm．The best place for your dog in winter is inside your house．Do not keep your dog outside when it is cold and wet．At home you can also keep the dog warm with the help of carpets．This will make him comfortable and help him to recover fast．
Increase the fluid（流質(zhì)）intake as it helps a lot．Water can be the best choice but you can also add broth （肉湯）in water which will give your dog strength．Warm water will make your dog more comfortable and will also keep the dog away from the respiratory infections（呼吸道感染）．
Steam treatment is considered to be effective in getting rid of cold．It makes the nasal（鼻的） passage wet，which helps proper breathing．Just fill your bathroom with steam and leave your dog inside the bathroom for 15 minutes．Do it nearly 2 to 3 times a day and you will see your dog recovering．
These are some of the things you can do to help your dog recover from cold．However，if you are not able to find any improvement in its health，then turn to the vet for help immediately．Take your dog for regular checkups so as to avoid complications（并發(fā)癥）．
64．From the first paragraph we know aboutD．
