第二部分 阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
A
On October 12, 1989, some British scientists were working at the computers to look for the information they needed. Suddenly they saw a lot of very bright points crossing the computers’ screens. At the same time the computers were working much slower. To find out what was happening they stopped their work to check some parts of the computers. To their horror , they found out that most of their stored information was got rid of by computer viruses (病毒) ! Clearly all these computers had been infected (感染) by computer viruses.
It is said that the computer viruses were made by a group of young men fond of playing tricks. They all had excellent education. They created the viruses just to show their intelligence. These kinds of computer viruses are named Jerusalem Viruses. These viruses can stay in computers for a long time. When the time comes they will attack the computers by lowering the functions, damaging their normal programs or even getting rid of all the information.
We now come to know that Jerusalem Viruses often attack computers on Friday and that they are spreading to a lot of computers. Among the countries that were attacked by computer viruses last year are Britain, Australia, Switzerland and the U.S. But till now, how to get rid of the terrible viruses remains a problem.
21. When the viruses attack the computers, the computers will work____ .
A. normally B. slowly C. faster D. well
22. The group of young men created the viruses to ____ .
A. damage the computers B. test their ability
C. tell people that they were intelligent
D. play a trick on users of the computers
23. According to the passage, computer viruses seem to ____.
A. have been in nature for years B. stay in any computers
C. be difficult to get rid of at present D. be able to be got rid of in the near future

Do you love holidays but hate the increase of weight that follows? You are not alone.
Holidays are happy days with pleasure and delicious foods. Many people, however, are worried about the weight that comes along with these delicious foods.
With proper planning, though, it is possible to control your weight. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don't have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy. The following suggestions may be of some help to you.
Do not miss meals. Before you leave home for a feast, have a small, low fat snack. This may help to keep you from getting too excited before delicious foods.
Begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables. A large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full. Use a small plate; a large plate will encourage you to have more than enough.
Better not have high fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy have much fat in them.
Choose lean meat. Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables.
If you have a sweet tooth, try mints(薄荷)and fruits. They don’t have fat content as cream and chocolate.
Don't let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute walk after a meal can help burn off extra calories.
25. Holidays are happy days with pleasure but they may ____.
A. bring weight problems B. bring you much trouble in your life
C. make you worried about your foods D. make you hate delicious foods

Comera is the only place in the world which has a whistle (口哨) language. We do not know how and why it began because we do not know the complete history of the island. But we can certainly imagine the reasons for the beginning of the whistle language. There are many deep valleys on the island. A person on one side of a valley can not easily shout to a person on the other side. But he can whistle and be heard. Some of the best whistlers can be heard from four miles away and the record is seven miles. The people who live on the island usually have good teeth, and this helps them to whistle well. They must also have good ears so that they can hear other whistlers.
We can understand why the whistle language continues. It is very useful on the island, and quite easy to learn. When somebody is hurt or ill, the whistle language takes the place of telephone. If the sick person is quite far away from the town, people pass the message from one to another. A boy guarding cattle (放牛) on a hillside whistles to a man fishing from his boat. The last one is able to describe the trouble fully and exactly to the doctor in town. People help one another in the same way when a car breaks or a cow is lost.
The whistle language is hundreds of years old, and probably it will continue to live on for hundreds of years more. Radio and TV often kill the special ways of speaking in the different parts of a country. But on Comera you are nobody if you cannot whistle. Perhaps soon after TV arrives on the island, the people there will be whistling the news and other facts and opinions.
28. If a person on Comera island is ill, ____.
A. others will phone the doctors in town
B. the whistle language will help pass the message to the doctor
C. his family will take him to the hospital
D. people will take him to town by carriage
29. From this passage we know radio and TV ____ at that time.
A. killed the special way of speaking
B. whistled all the news and opinions
C. helped Comera people to communicate
D. did not appear on Comera island yet
30. Comera island is special in that____ .
A. many visitors go there every year
B. no visitors have ever been there
C. people there have special ears to hear whistles
D. people there use the whistle language to communicate with each other
31. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. It is not easy for a person to live on Comera island if he cannot whistle.
B. The whistle language can only be found in Comera.
C. The whistle language has been used for hundreds of years on the island, but will not be used any longer.
D. The record shows that one best whistler can be heard by others seven miles away.
D
This year 2,300 teenagers (young people aged from 13-19 ) from all over the world will spend about ten months in U.S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions of the real American teenagers. American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and have a new understanding of the rest of the world.
Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George's family. In return, George's son, Mike, spent a year in Fred's home in America.
Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’ study, the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected — much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.
Family life, too, was different. The family's word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual (个人). Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.
“Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”
At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize American schools.” he says. “It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”
32. The whole exchange program is mainly to ____.
A. help teenagers in other countries know the real America
B. send students in America to travel in Germany
C. let students learn something about other countries
D. have teenagers learn new languages
33. What did Fred and Mike agree on?
A. American food tasted better than German food.
B. German schools were harder than American schools.
C. Americans and Germans were both friendly.
D. There were more cars on the streets in America.
34. What is particular in American schools?
A. There is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings.
B. There are a lot of after school activities.
C. Students usually take 14 subjects in all.
D. Students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car.
35. What did Mike think after experiencing the American school life?
A. A better education should include something good from both America and Germany.
B. German schools trained students to be better citizens.
C. American schools were not as good as German schools.
D. The easy life in the American school was more helpful to students.

    阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A．B．C和D)中，选出可以填入的空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
I spent two months with an American family last year when I studied in America.
It is said, “The best house is in America, the best wife is in Japan, and the best food is in China.” So I took pride and 36 to 37“the best food” for my American family. Each day, regardless of my poor skill of cooking, I would do something in 38way: changing the dishes’ color, the meat’s type or the soup’s style. Thus, my American friends could discover the39 of eating Chinese food. Because of my “ 40 ” job, I was often rewarded by their 41 of appreciation such as “very delicious”, “excellent”, etc.
But the joke was here: yesterday, I cooked Sichuan style 42 for dinner. I was 43 at my achievement (成就).
When all the family members arrived at the table, they first looked 44 at the fish, then looked at me. “Why do all the fish have their45 ？” they asked，“It’s terrible!”
Terrible or beautiful？I don't know. But I 46 know that fish heads are delicious. The 47 is the best part of fish; in 48 only the respectable guest can have the special honor of 49 it.
Another 50 thing is: the American friends often said to me“51 ”as they 52 fruits or other things. According to Chinese tradition I would simply smile in answer to their kindness 53 actually helping myself to any of the food. 54 , I said “help yourself” to them whenever I brought home fruits. Dear me, no matter how much or how often I brought home food, as long as it was nice to their taste, they 55 hesitated (犹豫)to use their hands to “help themselves” until all was finished.
