5、　　You are standing under the most famous neon lights in the centre of London, waiting to cross the road. Suddenly the traffic stops. You hear the distant sounds of cheering, clapping and shouting. Then, like a multi-colored train, 2, 000 people with wheels on their feet zoom past you. You have just witnessed the London Skate, a twice weekly roller-skate event that attracts people in their hundreds and thousands London Skate is a completely free tour of the streets of London―the only condition is that you go along on roller-skates. It lasts between two and three hours and by the end of it you have skated between 10 and 12 miles.

　　The skate snakes sound the streets of London along several different routes. Many of the routes pass by tourist attractions such as Buckingham Palace and Big Ben.

　　Marshals(交通協(xié)調(diào)員)go ahead of the group, stopping the traffic so that people can skate as safely as possible. Everyone is welcome to take part and people from the age of 4 to 63 years old join the fun. “I love it very much, it is amazing. It feels just like a carnival(狂歡節(jié)).”, said Celeste Beverage regular skater.

　　Roller-skating is really taking off across Europe and America. It is a very good way to keep fit and can be practised anywhere there is a smooth surface. Many big cities in Western Europe and in the US now have a regular group skating event.

　　The biggest skates take place in Paris and Munich and tens of thousands of fans show up on warm evenings. “Roller-skating is taking over the world,” said Julian Grenoble, a 25-year-old ski shop employee from London. Grenoble went to the Paris-Roller(Paris skate) regularly until he moved to Britain.

　　“It's so exciting to skate in Pairs. Everyone skates so fast and puts in their best efforts!” he said. The Paris Roller is well known because of the huge attendance, the presence of marshals and the police protection. Paris is a great city for roller-skating because of its long wide streets and smooth surfaces. Roller-skating is also becoming more popular in China among young people and children. Skating fans' favorite places to practice in China are big squares.

4、      I made a pledge(發(fā)誓) to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.

       The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical(圣經(jīng)) passage about husbands being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.

       And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.”

       “Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled.

       After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.

       So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love.

       There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.

       “What’s the matter?” I asked her.

       “Tom,” she said in a voice filled with distress, “do you know something I don’t?”

       “What do you mean?”

       “Well … that checkup I had several weeks ago … our doctor … did he tell you something about me? Tom, you’ve been so good to me … am I dying?”

       It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing.

       “No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.”

64. In the first paragraph, “No ifs, and ands or buts” probably means _____.

A. unnecessarily     B. unexpectedly         C. impossibly        D. unconditionally

65. From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage _____.

A. with his family                                      B. with Evelyn

3、As we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs. These are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it's not easy to change later in life. Financial experts say that every one also has their own belief of how to manage their money. According to our different values, experts put us in three categories. They are: the ant, the cricket and the snail.

◆     The ant ― works first

Just like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don't care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks with low risk.

◆     The cricket ― fun first

The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn't think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance.

◆     The snail ― lives under pressure

The snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loans(貸款) from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses. They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure they can afford it. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully.

60. One’s values may__________.

A. be his ways of managing money

B. be his beliefs about society

C. determine his family and education

D. influence his behavior

61. Mr. Smith always enjoys spending a weekend with his friends, fishing, hunting and playing cards. Moreover, he spends money in a very luxurious way. So, _____.

D. it’s hard to tell which kind of person Mr. Smith is

62. The writer of the passage seems to be in favor of _______.

A. the ant                     B. the cricket               C. the snail                   D. none of them

63. According to the passage, the most suitable title would be ______.

A. Spending Nature                                          B. What Comes First

C. How to Understand Your Values                    D. Work and Fun

2、       E-mail is one of the biggest threats to your home computer. By understanding how E-mail works, and by taking some steps in how you deal with reading and writing messages, you can keep this threat out of your computer. When you exchange E-mail with someone else, the messages sent between you and that person pass through several computer before they reach their places. Imagine this conversation as it is taking place in an Internet “room”, a very, very big room. Anyone, or more exactly, any program can probably understand what is being said, because most Internet conversations are not hidden in any way. As a result, others may be listening in, capturing what you send, and using it for their own good.

       E-mail-borne viruses often arrive in attractive, fantastic appearances, much like the beautiful ads we receive by way of traditional mail that is made to sell us something. By beautiful appearances, an infected E-mail message seems to be something we want to read from someone we know, not a mean virus ready to destroy or damage our computers.

       There are some steps that you can take to help you decide what to do with every E-mail message with an attachment (附件) that you receive. You should only read a message that passes all of these tests:

1)                    The Know Test: Is the E-mail from someone that you know?

2)                    The Received Test: Have you received E-mail from this sender before?

3)                    The Expect Test: Were you waiting for E-mail with an attachment from this sender?

4)                    The Meaning Test: Do the topic line of the E-mail message and the name of the attachment both have meanings?

5)                    The Virus Test: Is the E-mail infected?

56. Which of the following is the main idea of the first paragraph?

       A. We should not exchange our E-mail with someone else.

       B. It is dangerous to read and write E-mail message at home.

       C. We should learn how E-mail works to take care of our computers.

       D. Our chats on computers are usually going on in a big Internet room.

57. What does the underlined word “capturing” probably mean?

       A. taking               B. hiding                C. receiving                 D. destroying

58. As the Internet is open to anyone, we should _____.

       A. not read and write messages in our home computers

       B. not allowed nice advertisements to reach our computers

       C. stop our conversations while someone is listening in it

       D. be careful with the attractive E-mail sent by strangers

59. What is the passage mainly talking about?

       A. The threats of E-mail.                     B. The safety of home computers.

       C. The E-mail-borne viruses.               D. The steps to receive E-mail messages.

1、 

 A feeling of excitement overcame me as I looked around the stadium.

At 5: 30 pm, two hours before game time, I walked into the locker room (更衣室). My  36   of school, music and what I planned to do on Saturday night were  37  with the simple aim to beat the football team across the field from us tonight.

Approaching my locker, I noticed my teammates   38 . Some rested on benches, staring up at the ceiling  39  it were a film of the opposing teams play. Some seemed a bit more  40  , using the time to tell jokes. A few stared at the field,  41  what will happen in 120 minutes.

Our coach (教練), Tony Severino, came out of his office at 6 o’clock. He told the team how   42  this game was for the season between two of the state’s top teams―my school and our opposing team, Liberty High School. His words gave the team impulse (沖動) to   43  .

At 7: 10 pm, warm-ups finished, we went over the game   44   and discussed what we needed to do for the next three hours. The sound of the national anthem (國歌)   45   that we were only minutes from the action. Our coach usually made a final  46  . But tonight it was different. On this clear night he  47  looked around the room at all the players and shouted, “Let’s go and get them.” Even  48  the “get” came out of his mouth, we were already  49  our way out of the door.

Outside, a few young fans reached to touch our hands, eager to be a   50   of our school’s winning tradition. When I smiled and  51  my hand, the young faces lit up as if they had just met Superman.

Seconds later, the team ran onto the   52  , moving as a mass of blue, in front of a packed stadium. We enjoyed a noisy   53   from fans and the fight song played by our school band. Breathing in the    54    of one of the biggest game of the year, I felt we were sure to win. I told myself, “This was what it was all about” and    55   that it was for moments like this that I loved high school football.
