So many people have a computer in their homes nowadays. W: I know. I feel so behind the times. Text 2 W: Can you take a picture of me with the mountains in the background? M: I'm afraid I just ran out of the film. Text 3 M: I'm no expert，but that noise in your fridge doesn't sound good. Maybe you should call and have it checked out. W: You're right，and I suppose I've put it off long enough. Text 4 W: What do you think I should buy for my mom on her birthday? M: If I were you，I would buy a mobile phone.

Text 10 Third, fourth and fifth graders are going all over the world without ever leaving their computer at school. Arundel Elementary School in San Carlos, California could be the most wired school in America. They are wired to the Internet through their computers. On the Internet,30 Arundel students from kindergarten to the fifth grade log on to computers every day. Teacher Judy Garber says it's hard to get the kids away from the computers. They don't even want to take a break. Laura Bacon likes to visit other students. She's going to Peggy's page. Peggy is a school student in London，England. She put her own homepage on the Inter It includes pictures of Peggy, her school, her mom, dad and friends. You can send her mails，too. Scientist John Gage helped to wire Arundel School. He says, “There is a plan to connect 12 thousand California schools on the Inter” On November 4th, parents and computer experts did a test run for this day and Arundel was wired to the Inter 答案：1－5　ABAAC　6－10　ACCAA 11－15　BCBAA　16－20　CACBC 第二部分　阅读理解(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。 A It's true that teens don't get enough sleep，but changing the school starting time would have a chaotic effect and throw everyone off balance. Scientists have shown that teens are more active later at night than children and adults, so most teens are probably staying up late for whatever reasons. “The researchers measured the presence of the sleep－promoting hormone (荷尔蒙) in teenagers' saliva (唾液) at different time of the day.” They learned that the hormone levels rise later at night than they do in children and adults―and remain at a higher level later in the morning. Measuring the hormone in the saliva is a good way to show that most teens have sleep problems, but changing school schedules isn't the best way to fix this. Most people arguing against changing school schedules would say that it would only cause teens to stay up and wake up later, thus leaving them with the same problem. The biggest problem schools would come across from changing their schedules would be the after－school sports and job conflicts students and teachers would meet. “Teachers reported that students were more alert, and research showed that after－school sports and jobs would suffer.” Students in that area might have been able to deal with less time for jobs and sports somehow, but some of them have practice and earlier plans that would become conflicted if this change were to occur. Most students rarely have time to play a sport and do homework before 9 or 10 o'clock. Opening schools later may have worked for some areas, but the reality is often very different. 21．The meaning of the underlined word “chaotic” in the first paragraph is close to “________”． A．positive B．apparent C．negative D．absurd 答案与解析：C　词义猜测题。根据文章第二段最后两句以及第三段首句的内容可知，改变学校的上课时间会产生负面影响，故此处chaotic意思同negative。 22．Most teens have sleep problems because ________. A．they are more active than children and adults B．school work takes up most of their time C．their hormone levels are higher later at night D．they probably like staying up for no reason 答案与解析：C　细节理解题。由文章第二段中的内容可知：大多数青少年有睡眠方面的问题是由于他们体内促进睡眠的荷尔蒙含量到深夜才升高。 23．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．There are many conflicts between students and teachers. B．Some of the teachers have practice and earlier plans. C．Most students are able to do sports and homework before 9：00. D. Ways to solve students' sleep problem vary from area to area. 答案与解析：D　细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可得知，解决青少年睡眠不足的问题采取的措施因地区而不同。 24．The passage mainly develops by ________. A．giving reasons B．showing examples C．comparing facts D．offering solutions 答案与解析：A　推理判断题。由文章内容可知，这篇文章首先提出观点，然后阐述各个方面的原因，写作方法应是A项。 B I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office”． Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don't have names. In Japan, people use landmarks (地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.” In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains，so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks，people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east，and then go another mile.” People in Los Angeles，California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office？” you ask. “Oh，” they answer, “it's about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it？” They don't know. It's true that a person doesn't know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico，no one answers “I don't know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don't know” is impolite. They usually give an answer，often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan! 25．When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually ________. A．describe the place carefully B．show him a map of the place C．tell him the names of the streets D．refer to recognizable buildings and places 答案与解析：D　细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二句：“In Japan, people use landmarks(地标)in their directions instead of street names”和接下来所列举的事例可知：日本人用可辨认的建筑物指路。故选D项。 26．People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ________. A．in order to save time B．as a test C．so as to be polite D．for fun 答案与解析：C　推理判断题。根据第五段的“People in Yucatan believe that ‘I don't know’ is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one.”可知答案为C项。 27．What can we infer from the text? A．It's important for travelers to understand cultural differences. B．It's useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly. C．People have similar understandings of politeness. D．New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors. 答案与解析：A　推理判断题。根据文章第一段及整个文章的发展脉络分析：选项C、D显然是文章的细节，而选项B只说明了游客问问题的合适方式而没有提到回答的文化背景，因此，选项A更能涵盖文章的主要内容。 C Drying food is a simple, lowcost way to keep food safe for eating. A piece of equipment that uses the sun is a good way to dry food. The simplest solar dryer is called the direct dryer.It has a cover made of clear glass or plastic. When the sun shines into the box，heat is produced. The heat is trapped inside the box and cannot escape back through the cover. The heat dries the food. The solar dryer works better if the sides of the box are black. This is because dark colors hold heat while light colors reflect it. One way to make the sides black is to use wood that has been blackened by fire. The box can be made of almost any material such as wood and metal. The surface on which the food is placed should permit air to enter from below and pass through to the food. A surface made of wires with small square openings works very well. You should use wire with the largest openings that do not allow the food to fall through. Air that comes in from below the wire surface will also carry away water evaporated(蒸发)from the food as it dries. A direct dryer will dry most vegetables in twoandonehalf to four hours at temperatures from 43℃ to 63℃. Fruits take longer，from four to six hours at the same temperatures. Solar food drying is fast，safe and lowcost. Solar dried food tastes delicious and looks good. It is also healthy because nutrients such as vitamin C are kept in the food. 28．We learn from the text that the solar dryer works well when ________. A．the cover of it is heated by fire B．the sides of the box are black C．some heat can escape from the top D．food takes up a small space in it 答案与解析：B　细节理解题。根据第一段第五句“The solar dryer works better if the sides of the box are black.”可知应选B。 29．The surface where food is put should be ________. A．dried by wind or air B．painted with light color C．made with small openings D．made of glass or wire 答案与解析：C　细节理解题。根据第二段第二、三句“The surface on which the food is placed should permit air to enter from below and pass through to the food. A surface made of wires with small square openings works very well.”可知，盒子的底部应该通风，所以要有洞。 30．We can learn from the text that ________. A．it's easier to dry fruits than other food B．food dried by a direct dryer looks black C．it takes long to dry food with sunshine D．solar drying is a healthy way to dry food 答案与解析：D　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“It is also healthy because nutrients such as vitamin C are kept in the food.”可知，利用太阳能烘干食物是一种健康的方法。 31．Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A．How to Keep Food B．How to Dry Food C．The Direct Dryer D．The Solar Power 答案与解析：C　主旨大意题 。从全文可知，本文主要讲了一个简单的太阳能烘干器的制作过程。 D The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare's time is estimated(估计) to have been about five million. Today it is e
