Here is some information about making international phone

24、calls.You can now phone almost any country in the world, although in some cases you can only call big cities. When you cannot make direct dialing calls, you can ask. the international operator to help you. This is more expensive and takes more time, but it may be helpful if you want to speak to a pa

25、rticular person and no one else, in this case you should ask for a “person-to-person“ call. Even more expensive is a reverse charge call where the person who receives the call pays. If the international line is busy, you can reserve (留下) a call, explain the number you want and the operator will call

26、 you back when the line is free.You can save money by calling outside office hours, for example, early in the morning, late at night, and on Sundays. Remember that the time may be different in the country that you are calling. International time is based on GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). London is on GM

27、T and Moscow, for example, is 3 hours ahead. There is one problem: change to DST (Daylight Saving Time) for the summer. In the UK, clocks are put forward one hour in spring and put back in autumn, and so London is actually one hour ahead of GMT in the gummer.（分数：4.00）(1).What is the most expensive t

28、ype of call?（分数：1.00）A.Direct dial.B.Through the operator.C.Reverse charge call.D.Calling outside office hours.(2).What can you do if the international line is engaged?（分数：1.00）A.Ask the operator to call you back later.B.Make a “person-to-person“ call.C.Call back outside office hours.D.Wait and call

29、 again when the line is free.(3).When is it cheaper to make an international call?（分数：1.00）A.l0 a.m.B.5 p.m.C.11 p.m.D.8 a.m.(4).If you want to use your Business Telecard International, you have to_.（分数：1.00）A.use a card phoneB.phone on SundayC.make a direct dialing callD.pay extraBMost of the anima

30、ls have little connection with animals of a different kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership which is good for both of them. You may see some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because

31、they find easy food in the parasites (寄生虫) on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they move the cause of discomfort. So although they can live without each other, they do better together.Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners can- not

32、live without each other. This is so in the corals (珊瑚) of the sea. In their skins there are tiny plants which act as “dustmen“, taking some of the waste products from the corals and giving in re- turn oxygen (氧气) which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are even prevented from

33、 receiving light so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die.（分数：4.00）(1).Some birds like to sit on a sheep because_.（分数：1.00）A.they can eat its parasitesB.they enjoy traveling with the sheepC.they depend on the sheep for existenceD.they find the position most comfortable(2).The underline

34、d word “they“ in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to_.（分数：1.00）A.birds and parasitesB.birds and sheepC.parasites and sheepD.sheep, birds and parasites(3).We learn from the text that corals depend on plants for_.（分数：1.00）A.comfortB.lightC.foodD.oxygen(4).What does the second paragraph

35、mainly discuss?（分数：1.00）A.Some animals and plants depend on each other for existence.B.Some animals and plants develop their relationship easily.C.Some plants depend on each other for food.D.Some animals live better together.CComputer people talk lots about the need for other people to become “compu

36、ter literate “. But not all experts think it a good idea.One pioneer, in particular, who disagrees, is David Debut, the founder of Computer town UK. Though many people see this as a successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer, David does not see it that way. He says that Computer town

37、UK was formed for just the opposite reason, to bring computers to people and make them “people literate“.David Debut thinks Computer towns are most successful when tied to a computer club but he thinks there is an important difference between the two. The clubs are for people who have some computer

38、knowledge already. This frightens away non-experts, who want to go to Computer towns where there are computers for them to operate, with experts to encourage them and answer any questions they ask. They are not told what to do, they find out. The computer experts have to learn not to tell people abo

39、ut computers, but have to be able to answer all questions people ask. People neednt learn computer terms (术语). But the experts have to explain in plain language. The computers are becoming “people literate“.（分数：4.00）(1).Which of the following is David Debuts idea on the relationship between people a

40、nd computers?（分数：1.00）A.Computer learning should be made easier.B.There should be more computer clubs for experts.c People should work harder to master computer use.D Computers should be made cheaper so that people can afford them.(2).We can infer from the text that “computer literate“ means_.（分数：1.

41、00）A.being able to afford a computerB.being able to write computer programsC.working with the computer and finding out its valueD.understanding the computer and knowing how to use it(3).The underlined word “it“ in the second paragraph refers to the idea that Computer town_.（分数：1.00）A.helps to set up

42、 more computer clubsB.brings people to learn to use computersC.brings more experts to work togetherD.helps to sell computers to the public(4).David Debut started Computer town UK with the purpose of_.（分数：1.00）A.making better use of computer expertsB.improving computer programsC.increasing computers

43、salesD.popularizing computersDDavid Beckham was born in 1975 in London, at a place called Leytonstone. When he was a young boy, his greatest fervency was in football. He played it whenever he had the chance. Sometimes he would go and watch a game with his friends. When David Beckham was 12 years old

44、 he won the Bobby Charlton Soccer Skills award. This was an important step forward for this young boy, and it led him to go for a visit to a football training camp in Spain.

47、e continued to score astonishing goals, especially from free kicks. The speed of one of his shots was timed at 157 kph.
