It was raining. I went into a café and asked for a coffee.     21    I was waiting for my drink, I realized that there were other people in the place, but I sensed     22    . I saw their bodies, but I couldn't feel their souls     23    their souls belonged to the     24    .

I stood up and walked between the tables. When I came to the biggest computer, I saw a thin, small man     25    in front of it. "I'm Steve", he finally answered after I asked him a couple of times what his name was. "I can't talk with you. I'm     26    ", he said. He was chatting online with somebody--probably someone he didn't know--and, at the same time, he was playing a computer game--a war game. I was surprised. He was chatting online and,     27    , he was playing a computer game—a war game. I was     28    .

Why didn't Steve want to talk with me? I tried     29     to speak to that computer geek (怪人),     30    not a word came out of his mouth. I touched his shoulder, but no reaction（反應(yīng)）. I was     31    . I put my hand in front of the monitor, and he started to shout,          "    32    !"

I took a few steps back, wondering if all those people in the café were looking at me. I     ___33    , and saw nobody showed any interest.

    34    , I realized that the people there were having a nice conversation with their machines, not with people. They were more     35    having a relationship with the     ___36    , particularly Steve. I wouldn't want to     37     the future of human beings if they preferred sharing their lives with machines     38    with people.

I was worried and I sank in my thoughts. I didn't even     39    that the coffee was bad,    ___40    Steve didn't notice there was a person next to him.

 (05·浙江E篇)

When Lew Alcindor was 13, and obviously still growing, a group of schools began offering him scholarships (獎學(xué)金) . The Alcindors decided to send their only child to Power Memorial Academy, a small school on Manhattan’s West Side.

At Power, Alcindor came under the control of Coach Jack Donohue, a strict young man who already gained his fame as one of the best coaches in the city. Donohue brought Alcindor along slowly. As a first-year student, the boy was not able to do much but wave his long skinny arms and shoot a basket now and then. But by the second year, when he was 15 years old and nearly 7 feet tall, Alcindor was quick and skillful enough to make the high school All-American team and to lead Power to an undefeated season.

From then on he simply got better. Some rival coaches （對方教練）used to take their teams quickly away from the floor before Power warmed up so that their players would not see him any sooner than they had to. Wearing size 16D shoes and sucking a lollipop (棒棒糖), Alcindor would loosen up by starting his leaping lay-ups (擦板球). Then he would casually shoot the ball with either hand, to the delight of the fans.

When reporters and photographers began to follow Alcindor closely, Donohue protected his boy firmly. He simply ordered Lew to talk to no member of the press, and this suited Lew fine. He was not comfortable talking to grown-ups, perhaps because he towered over them. Discouraged photographers began following him in secret as though he were an easily-frightened giraffe. Once after ducking into a subway to escape, Alcindor told a friend that it was all becoming like policemen and robbers. “People want you not for yourself,” Donohue warned him, “but because you’re a basketball player. Don’t forget that.”

57. Many schools offered Alcindor scholarships because_________.

A．he was young                                  B．he was hardworking

58. Which of the following best describes Donohue as a young coach?

A．serious, popular and slow                     B．tall, skillful and successful

C．kind, powerful and undefeated              D．well-known, strict and experienced

59. Why did some rival coaches take their teams away from the floor before Power warmed up?

A．Their teams refused to play Power        B．Their teams feared to see Alcindor

C．Their teams would lose courage       D．Their teams would lose interest

60. What does the last paragraph mainly discuss?

A．How Donohue protected Alcindor from the press

B．How Alcindor disliked meeting reporters

C．Why the press followed Alcindor closely

D．Why the public wanted Alcindor badly

 (05·浙江C篇)

In the course of working my way through school, I took many jobs I would rather forget. But none of these jobs was as dreadful as my job in an apple plant. The work was hard; the pay was poor; and, most of all, the working conditions were terrible.

First of all, the job made huge demands on my strength. For then hours a night, I took boxes that rolled down a metal track and piled them onto a truck. Each box contained twelve heavy bottles of apple juice. I once figured out that I was lifting an average of twelve tons of apple juice every night.

I would not have minded the difficulty of the work so much if the pay had not been so poor. I was paid the lowest wage of that time—two dollars an hour. Because of the low pay, I felt eager to get as much as possible. I usually worked twelve hours a night but did not take home much more than $ 100 a week.

But even more than the low pay, what made me unhappy was the working conditions. During work I was limited to two ten-minute breaks and an unpaid half hour for lunch. Most of my time was spent outside loading trucks with those heavy boxes in near-zero-degree temperatures. The steel floors of the trucks were like ice, which made my feet feel like stone. And after the production line shut down at night and most people left, I had to spend two hours alone cleaning the floor.

I stayed on the job for five months, all the while hating the difficulty of the work, the poor money, and the conditions under which I worked. By the time I left, I was determined never to go back there again.
