阅读下列短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
A little railroad engine was working in a station yard, pulling a few cars on and off the switches (道岔)．
One morning it was waiting for the next call when a long train of freight­cars asked a large engine in the station yard to take it over the hill.“I can't; that is too much a pull for me，” said the great engine. Then the train asked another engine, and another, only to hear excuses and be refused.
Hopelessly, the train asked the little engine to draw it up the grade (坡道) and down on the other side. “I think I can，”puffed (喘气) the little engine, and put itself in front of the great heavy train. As it went on, the little engine kept bravely puffing faster and faster, “I think I can. I think I can. I think I can.”
As it neared the top of the grade, which had discouraged the larger engines, it went more slowly. However, it still kept saying, “I — think — I — can. I — think — I — can.”
And actually it could. Because of its hard work and determination, the little engine achieved what much bigger engines could not. The engine's heart was filled with the joy of achievement. “I thought I could. I thought I could，” it said.
This is a very famous story. Don't you love the brave little engine? No matter how young you are, you can also be like the little engine by simply believing in yourself.

Technology helps people do everything from planning to meet for a movie to keeping in touch with a friend who lives in a different country.
When planning to get together with friends, Julian said, “If I want to go and see a movie with a few friends, I usually send them text messages. By telephone, you have to call every single friend one by one. But text messaging allows you to send the same message to as many people as you'd like, which saves a lot of time.”
Email, IM, and other low­cost methods of communication also help people keep long­distance friendships in ways they couldn't have even a few years ago.
Mike told us，“I had this friend when I was 8 or 9, and then she moved away to the country. We promised to stay friends and to send letters, and at the start we did. Then the letters got fewer and fewer and we at last stopped writing to each other. I think if we had had email, we would still be in touch.”
James found out about cost the hard way. He said, “I called my friend in New Zealand, which is halfway around the world, and it cost me over $200! So now I just stay up late to see if I can catch him on MSN or I write an email.”
Email, IM, and other low­cost ways of keeping in touch also allow people to develop brief acquaintances (与人相识) into long­lasting friendships. Andrea told us, “I met this really cool girl. We sometimes email each other. We've been in touch over half a year and it's nice to talk to her.”
4．What is this passage mainly about?
A. Technology has improved greatly.
B. Technology can help our social lives.
C. Technology keeps far­away friends close.
D. Text messages bring advantages to our life.
答案与解析　B　主旨大意题。本文主要是关于科技在社交生活中所发挥的作用，故选B。
5．How does Julian usually get in touch with a group of friends?
A. By emailing them.
B. By chatting with them on MSN.
C. By sending them text messages.
D. By giving them a phone call.
答案与解析　C　推理推断题。依据其次段的If I want to go and see a movie with a few friends, I usually send them text messages.可推断Julian通常是通过发短信的方式跟一群伴侣联系的。
6．In Mike's opinion, he lost touch with his friend mainly because ________.
A. they lost interest in keeping in touch
B. their friendship was not strong enough
C. they were too busy to write to each other
D. they couldn't use email to keep in touch then
答案与解析　D　细节理解题。依据第四段的I think if we had had email, we would still be in touch.可知Mike把与那位伴侣失去联系的责任归咎到没有电子邮件上。
7．What does James most probably think of calling his friend in New Zealand?
A. Convenient. B. Costly.
C. Difficult. D. Necessary.
答案与解析　B　细节理解题。依据第五段的James found out about cost the hard way.以及后文James所说的话，可知他认为给新西兰的伴侣打电话联系花费太高。
C
I've watched many students spend a lot of time and money on schools and programs that do not work. It's so common and it's sad.
Now things are different. If you have a computer or an MP3 player, you can learn to speak English well in a very short time. If you can promise to study for 15 minutes every day, then your English will improve faster than you can imagine.
It is all about listening to real native English dialogues and conversations. Each dialogue is about a real­life situation and discusses a lot of slang, idioms, and other cool vocabulary native speakers use all the time. It is the kind of stuff you don't learn in school. It will help you understand English movies and speak with and understand native speakers. Our teaching style is really fun and we promise you won't get bored. We'll teach you how to remember everything very easily.
The program has 100 MP3 English lessons that you can download (下载) and listen to on your MP3 player or computer. Each lesson has a PDF of the dialogue and an explanation of the important words and phrases. And each lesson is around 10 to 15 minutes.
Listen to one lesson every day and read the PDF to make sure you understand exactly what is being said. I made these lessons with my younger brother and it took us over 4 years to make this program as good as possible. We talk about our real lives and world experiences while teaching English. These lessons are really fun and interesting. Already over 5,000 students from more than 70 different countries email us every day thanking us for this program. It's a great feeling.
语篇解读　现代化试视听技术和设备的快速进展和应用，让曾经枯燥的英语学习变得越来越便捷高效。请看下文对一个英语学习课程的介绍。
8．What's the author's purpose in writing this passage?
A. To introduce an English­learning program.
B. To give advice on how to learn English well.
C. To ask students to change their bad habits.
D. To collect public opinions on an English program.
答案与解析　A　本文意在向读者推举一门英语学习课程。
9．We can learn from the passage that the program ________.
A. can be learned on the computer and on the radio
B. includes lessons and vocabulary chosen from textbooks
C. describes English dialogues and conversations in a real­life situation
D. is mainly about dialogues and conversations from movies
答案与解析　C　依据第三段前两句可知，该课程中的对话都来源于生活中的真实场景。
10．What's the advantage of a PDF in each lesson?
A. Learners can have more fun while learning.
B. Students won't get bored while listening to the lesson.
C. Students can have a better understanding of the dialogue.
