A sobbing little girl stood near a small church from which she had been turned away because it “was too crowded．” “I can’t go to Sunday School,” she sobbed to the pastor (牧師) as he walked by．Seeing her shabby appearance, the pastor guessed the reason, and, taking her by the hand, took her inside and found a place for her in the Sunday School class．The child was so touched that she went to bed that night thinking of the children who have no place to worship Jesus．

Some years later, this child lay dead in one of the poor buildings and the parents called for the kindhearted pastor, who had befriended their daughter, to handle the final arrangements．As her poor little body was being moved, a worn purse was found which seemed to have been picked up from some trash dump．Inside was found 57 cents and a note scribbled in childish handwriting which read, “This is to help build the little church bigger so more children can go to Sunday School．”

For two years she had saved for this offering of love．When the pastor tearfully read that note, he knew instantly what he would do．Carrying this note, he told people the story of her unselfish love and devotion．

A newspaper learned of the story and published it．It was read by a Realtor who offered them a parcel of land worth many thousands．When told that the church could not pay so much, he offered it for 57 cents．

Church members made large donations．Checks came from far and wide．Within five years the little girl’s gift had increased to $250,000, a huge sum for that time．

When you are in the city of Philadelphia, look up Temple Baptist Church, with a seating capacity of 3,300 and Temple University, where hundreds of students are trained．Have a look, too, at the Good Samaritan Hospital and at a Sunday School building which houses hundreds of Sunday scholars, so that no child in the area will ever need to be left outside during Sunday school time．

   The physical memory dump(電腦死機) error is a big problem that affects even the most advanced computer systems．Although it's quite a rare error, it's one of the most stopping what you're doing and restarting your computer—making you lose all your unsaved data．This is a big problem, but there is actually a very easy way to fix it．

    There are two reasons why the physical memory dump happens．The first is pretty simple and is to do with the "hardware", and if any of these pieces are not fit for your system, it will cause the physical memory dump．So, if you've recently added any hardware to your PC, then take that out and see if it works．

   The other reason is your system, the "registry"．The registry is a big database(數(shù)據(jù)庫)that operates in the background of Windows, storing all sorts of settings and information about your PC．The problem with the registry is that since it has so many important files inside, it's constantly got hundreds of files open every time you use your PC．And because there are so many files to open at once, Windows is constantly getting confused, leading it to save many of these files in the wrong way．These files go wrong when saved wrongly, making them difficult for your computer to read．However, if it can't read the files at all, it has no choice but to stop everything it's doing and restart your PC．This is why the physical memory dump error appears so easily—because when a registry file is so wrong that it can't be read, your computer needs to refresh itself immediately．

   This latter reason for causing the physical memory dump is actually extremely common and the likelihood is that your PC is suffering from it, if you're seeing this error．Luckily, it's also incredibly easy to fix—you just need to use a software tool called a "registry cleaner" to go through the registry and fix all the problems in there．

72．From the text we can infer that ________．

       A．the dump error often happens to your PC

       B．the dump canbe dealt with easily

       C．only the advanced computers suffers from the error

       D．the dump error can cause the data in your PC to be lost

73．The reason that your PC has the dump error is that ___________．

       A．the the hardware loses its memory

       B．your Windows needs to be upgraded

       C．you have saved wrong files in the PC

       D．you have stored too many files in the PC．

74．What’s problem with the registry when your PC goes wrong?

       A．The register can’t read the files correctly．

       B．It must open 100 files every time you use your PC．

       C．The register doesn’t agree with the database．

       D．The register must save many important files inside．

75．What does a registry cleaner means?

       A．A softwar which can help you save time．

       B．A software which can remove unnecessary files

       C．A software which can repair the machine．

       D．a(chǎn) software which makes your PC down．

第三部分 閱讀理解(共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分)

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項。

　　Many people will remember the flight of the space shuttle（航天飛機）challenger，in June，1983. The achievement of Sally Ride，America’s first woman astronaut to fly into space，made this flight especially memorable. Students from two Camden, New Jersey, high schools, however, are probably to remember Norma rather than Sally whenever they think about the flight.

　　Norma didn’t travel alone. She brought about 100 companions along with her. Norma was an ant，a queen ant who，with her subject，made up the first ant colony（群體）to travel into space. The ants were part of a science experiment designed by students to test the effects of weightlessness on insects.

　　The equipment designed by the students for their colony functioned perfectly throughout the long space trip. The young scientists and their teachers were very sad to find that their insect astronauts had all died at some point before the container was returned to the school and opened. The problem didn’t occur in space，but on the ground after challenger had landed. The container remained in the desert for nearly a week before the ant colony was moved. The hot，dry desert air dried out the colony’s container and the ants died from lack of moisture（水分）.

　　The project was termed success because it did provide useful information. Students will continue their efforts to pinpoint（精確找到）what went wrong. They will try to prevent the same difficulties from reoccurring on future missions. They don’t want to be discouraged either by the demise of the ants or by the $ 10,000 shuttle fare they will have to pay to send the next colony of ants into space.

51．What does the passage mainly tell us？

A．Sally Ride，America’s first woman astronaut.

B．How to keep ants alive in space.

C．How to make equipment for insects in space.

D．An experiment with ants in space.

52．According to the passage, we know that the underlined word“demise”is another word for“_____”.

A．death 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　B．colony

C．insect　　　　　　　　　　　　　　D．moisture

53．We don’t think the project was a failure. This is because_____.

A．everything went as smoothly as expected

B．the students had pinpointed exactly the reason

C．something important had been learned

D．the students had succeeded in the experiment

54．We can conclude that ants _____ on the next space trip.

A．will have to be kept alive in a container full of water

B．will have to be sent into space with the first woman astronaut

C．should be put into a container where there is enough food

D．should be put into a container which is not too dry
