But with hundreds of thousands of Web pages being added weekly, there are plenty of surprises out there. Here are some of the most intriguing(有迷惑力的)．Put your kid on a greeting card. Here is how: simply take some pictures with a regular camera, and then ask the photo service to develop them digitally(数字化). For a small fee, you'll receive your photos on a desk. Put that into your computer and, with a few clicks of the mouse, you can view your photos on the screen. With a few more keystrokes, you can attach(使……附在) the photos to e­mail and send them to friends and relatives worldwide.Sign on to one or several greeting card's Web sites (www. cardcentral. net is an index of more than 1200 electronic card sites) and create an electronic birthday or holiday card. Using your digital photos, you can paste your grandchildren onto the cover.If you don't want to use your own photos, go to cards.amzon.com to browse(浏览) hundreds of images in over 30 categories, all of which you can attach to an electronic greeting card for free. For a nominal fee you can choose from a library of 75,000 images at www.photodisc.com.Call Australia for free. To have a telephone conversation over the Internet, the person you want to talk to no longer needs a computer. Now all you need to talk to someone in Sydney is one computer with speakers, a microphone, a sound card and some software(available at www.yocaltec.com or Microsoft. com). Typically, you'll pay a monthly fee(usually under $ 20) to a service provider, but after that, the calls themselves are local(本地的). Sound quality is the same as that of a cell phone.Even if you don't have a computer, you can still use the Web to reduce your long distance phone costs. Some companies offer a service that lets you use an ordinary phone to call another ordinary phone, but charge only a few cents per minute for U．S. calls, because they send them through the Internet.Today 48 percent of American homes have computers—a figure that is expected to climb to 60 percent by 2003. And by the end of the next decade, Americans will likely be spending more time shopping, banking, investing and learning on the Internet than in the real world. If you can't do or find something on the Net today, you probably can tomorrow.60．Over the Internet, you________.A．can hear everything thereB．will meet with plenty of surprises which come out every weekC．will hear the things about the electronic frontierD．can find some things are very interesting61．From the passage we can infer that________.A．fewer people will use the Internet in the following ten yearsB．more people will study in the regular school by the end of the next decadeC．fewer people will go to the regular school in the following ten yearsD．more money will be needed for a long distance call by the end of the next decade62．If you want to attach a photo to your e­mail, you have to________it.A．digitalize   B．take   C．picture     D．send63．Which of the following is NOT true?A．A telephone conversation over the Internet can be carried out without computers.B．Over the Internet, the receiver of the phone conversation doesn't need a computer.C．The phone conversations over the Internet are much cheaper.D．The long­distance calls are local themselves. C●Never give out identifying information such as Name, Home Address, School Name or Telephone Number in a public message such as in a chat room or on bulletin boards. Never send a person your photograph without first checking with your parents.●Never reply to messages or bulletin board items that make you feel uncomfortable.●Be careful when someone offers something for nothing, such as gifts and money. Be very careful about any offers that get you to meet or have someone visit your house.●Tell your parents right away if you come across any information that makes you feel uncomfortable.●Never arrange a face­to­face meeting without telling your parents. If your parents agree to the meeting, make sure that you meet in a public place and have a parent with you.●Remember that people online may not be who they seem. Because you can't see or even hear the person, it would be easy for someone to misrepresent himself/herself. Thus someone who says that “she is a 12­year­old girl” could really be an old man.●Be sure that you are dealing with someone that you and your parents know and trust before giving out any personal information about yourself through e­mails.●Get to know your “online friend” just as you get to know all of your friends.64．The best title for this passage is________.A．Warning against making online friends     B．Messages one can get on the InternetC．How to make friends on the Internet       D．Safety tips for kids on the Internet65．The underlined word “misrepresent” in the passage means________.A．making a wrong judgment about        B．understanding somebody wronglyC．giving a wrong description of          D．forming a wrong opinion about66．In the last four paragraphs, the writer suggests that one should________.A．believe nobody on the net           B．be careful about the online friendsC．not be honest on the net             D．make friends with those you believe in67．What will you do if an online friend asks you to meet him or her?A．Meet him or her as soon as possible.B．Meet him or her without telling your parents.C．Tell your parents and with them meet him or her in a public place.D．Never meet him or her face to face even with your parents.D Ten years ago I used to be very fit (健康的). I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends. I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks. In those days I didn’t earn very much. I had a job in an office. It wasn’t a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing.  Then, about eight years ago, I got a much better job. The pay was better, but the hours were a lot longer. I bought a car and drove to work every day. I began to take people out to lunch. And I began to put on weight, too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn’t have any time for things like that any more.  There’s a lot of stress (压力) in my job. Perhaps that’s why I started drinking more than I used to. For example, I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home, but then I started filling my glass to the top, and instead of having one glass, I would have several. I started smoking a lot, too. I never used to smoke at all. Two months ago I had a heart attack. At first I just couldn’t believe it. Luckily it wasn’t very serious. The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less. He also advised me to work less and get more exercise. But I just haven’t any time! My job takes everything out of me!  Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job. Perhaps I could do something like I used to do. But if I do that, I won’t earn as much. I have a family to support. I have to think of them, too. I just don’t know what I should do. What do you think? 68. Compared with ten years ago, what is worse for the author now?A. His job.       B. His pay. C. His means of transport.  D. His health.69. According to the passage, when the author got the better job, which of the following is NOT true?A. He got higher pay.B. His working hours weren’t long.C. He found it very stressful.D. He had little free time at weekends.70. After the author had a heart attack, the doctor advised him _____.A. not to work any longerB. to take a long vacation abroadC. to stop smoking and take exerciseD. not to eat out any more71. What can we learn about the author?A. The author is not sure what he should do now.B. The author has taken the doctor’s advice.C. The author has got another new job.D. The author feels much better now.E      We arrived at the hospital only to find Dad weak, but his smile was as sure as ever. My husband and I had to work, so our relatives would help him get home from the hospital and look after him. But I wanted Dad to know that we cared about him, too, even when we weren’t with him.  Then I remembered a family tradition (传统) when our children were small. When leaving their grandparents’ home, each child would write a love note for their grandparents to find after we were gone. They hid notes in the food box, or even in the fridge. For days their grandparents would smile as they discovered these notes of the children’s love.  So as I cleaned Dad’s room downstairs before he got home, I began writing notes. Some showed my love. Most notes were in his room downstairs where he would be able to find, but one note was hidden upstairs under his pillow. “Dad, if you have found this note, you must be feeling better. We are so glad!” My notes were a reminder (提醒的事物) of our love for Dad. Just like his medicines made him better physically (身体上), these would improve his mental (精神的) health. Several weeks later, I made a phone call to Dad and asked what he was doing. He said, “I’ll tell you what I’m doing. I am just reading the note you left under my pillow upstairs!”72. Which of the following did the author NOT do for her father?A. Writing notes. B. Driving her father home.  C. Making phone calls.D. Helping to clean her father’s room.73. The underlined word “these” (in Paragraph 4) refers to “______”.A. medicines     B. the relatives’ care and helpC. notes      D. delicious foods74. The author hid most notes _____.A. in Dad’s room downstairs    B. in the food boxC. in the fridge               D. under Dad’s pillow upstairs75. From the passage we can know the author’s notes couldn’t ______.A. show her love for Dad                   B. make Dad remember somethingC. make Dad healthier mentally           D. improve Dad’s physical health Ⅳ.任务型读写阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。Long school day＝More learning? Not necessarilyRecently we talked about how some American schools have made changes in the traditional school year. Their goal is to improve student learning.Some have extended the school year, or reorganized it to avoid a long summer break. Another choice is to extend the school day. A new report from the Center for Evaluation and Education Policy at Indiana University examines research into how effective this is.The traditional school day has not changed much in more than a century. Activities or special programs might mean a longer day. But younger children usually go to school from about nine o'clock in the morning until about three in the afternoon. Older ones are traditionally in school from about seven a．m. until around two p．m..Some high schools have changed to later start times because of findings that teenagers learn better that way. But the new report says results have been mixed. Teachers say students are more awake. But students say the changes interfere with after­school activities or jobs.By 2001, almost one­third of all secondary schools had some form of block scheduling(区段时间表). The idea is to provide longer periods in the school day to teach basic subjects.More class time should mean better results. This is the thinking, at least. Yet a 2001study found that secondary schools with traditional schedules had higher test scores by comparison. Schools with block scheduling did have higher scores in science, though.In any case, the study agreed with earlier findings that students feel better about their schools in systems with nontraditional scheduling.So how useful is a longer school day? Not surprisingly, the policy experts at Indiana say it is what educators do with the extra time that has the largest effect on student learning. They note a criticism that education leaders often make scheduling changes without changing the learning environment of a school.The experts say teachers must be trained to use the added time effectively. Professional development is needed. The report notes that simply adding time to a program that is not very good or very interesting will not increase student learning.Community(社会) support is also valuable for any changes. And there is another consideration. Schools may need a lot of extra money to pay for an extended day.
