Think of

8、 all the things you can do with a mouse like selecting text for copying and pasting, drawing, and even scrolling on the page with the newer mice with the wheel. Most of us use the computer mouse daily without stopping to think how it works until it gets dirty and we have to learn how to clean it. We

9、 learn to point at things before we learn to speak, so the mouse is a very natural pointing device. Other computer pointing devices include light pens, graphics tablets and touch screens, but the mouse is still our workhorse. The computer mouse was invented in 1964 by Douglas Englehart of Stanford U

10、niversity. As computer screens became more popular and arrow keys were used to move around a body of text, it became clear that a pointing device that allowed easier motion through the text and even selection of text would be very useful. The introduction of the mouse, with the Apple Lisa computer i

11、n 1983, really started the computer public on the road to relying on the mouse for routine computer tasks. How does the mouse work? We have to start at the bottom, so think upside down for now. It all starts with the mouse ball. As the mouse ball in the bottom of the mouse rolls over the mouse pad,

12、it presses against and turns two shafts. The shafts are connected to wheels with several small holes in them. The wheels have a pair of small electronic light-emitting devices called light-emitting diodes (LED) mounted on either side. One LED sends a light beam to the LED on the other side. As the w

13、heels spin and a hole rotates by, the light beam gets through to the LED on the other side. But a moment later the light beam is blocked until the next hole is in place. The LED detects a changing pattern of light, converts the pattern into an electronic signal, and sends the signal to the computer

14、through wires in a cable that goes out of the mouse body. This cable is the tail that helps give the mouse its name. The computer interprets the signal to tell it where to position the cursor on the computer screen. So far we have only discussed the basic computer mouse that most of you probably hav

15、e or have used. One problem with this design is that the mouse gets dirty as the ball rolls over the surface and picks up dirt. Eventually you have to clean your mouse. The newer optical mice avoid this problem by having no moving parts.（分数：7.00）(1).Most computer users want to know how the computer

Some people seem to have a knack for

19、 learning languages. They can pick up new vocabulary, master rules or grammar, and learn to write in the new language more quickly than others. They do not seem to be any more intelligent than others, so what makes language learning so much easier for them? Perhaps if we take a close look at these s

20、uccessful language learners, we may discover a few of the techniques which make language learning easier for them. 2. First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher; they discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of wait

21、ing for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions. When they guess wrong, they guess again. They try to learn from mistakes. 3. Successful language learning is active learning. Therefor

22、e, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say

23、strange things; they are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every world. 4. Finally, successful language learne

24、rs are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them. They find it easy to practice using the language r

25、egularly because they want to learn with it. 5. What kind of language learner are you? If you are a successful language learner, you have probably been learning independently, actively, and purposefully. On the other hand, if your language learning has been less than successful, you might as well tr

29、ers of the Great European CitiesThe centers of the great cities of Europe are meeting places by tradition. People gather there to drink coffee and chat late into the night. A mixture of locals and tourists make for an exciting, metropolitan atmosphere. Squares, plazas (广场) and arcades (拱廊) form the

30、heart of Europe“s cities. Venice in Italy has the Piazza San Marcoa beautiful square surrounded by shops, churches, restaurants and cafes. In Barcelona, Spain, La Bosqueria is a lively market with hundreds of stalls selling all kinds of goods. London“s Covent Garden is filled with fruit and vegetabl

31、e stalls by day and musicians, acrobats (杂技演员) and artists by night. The government buildings at the center of many cities often are architecturally impressive. In London, they serve as a beautiful backdrop (背景) to the coffee tables that line the streets and the banks of the Thames. These vibrant (有

32、活力的) hearts are the product of centuries of evolution, social historian Joel Garreau told US News and World Report recently. “The reason people think Venice is so great today is you don“t see all the mistakes,“ said Garreau. “Those have all been removed.“ Most European cities were laid out before th

33、e invention of the car, so bars, restaurants and cafes were near to people“s homes. Today, the focus of many Europeans“ life has moved away from the centers. They live in the suburbs and outskirts, driving to supermarkets to get their supplies. But on a continent where people treasure convention, th

34、ere are still those who hold onto traditional ways, living and shopping locally. These people, together with tourists, provide the city centers with the reason for existence. Coffee culture plays a part in keeping these city centers flourishing. This is particularly true of Paris whose citizens are

35、famous enthusiastic conversationalists. This skill is developed over many hours spent chatting over espressos (浓咖啡) and cigarettes. Religion also plays a role in developing sociable atmosphere. People in Roman Catholic countries used to visit the Church on an almost daily basis. Entire communities w

36、ould gather in the same building and then move out to the markets, cafes and bars in the surrounding streets. An enormous example of this relationship between church and society is the Duomo. The huge marble cathedral in Florence, Italy is surrounded by bakeries and coffee shops, and caters not only

37、 to the tourist crowds, but also the local community.（分数：15.00）(1).It can be inferred from the first paragraph that each big city in Europe _（分数：3.00）A.has many large squaresB.has many very magnificent sky-scrapersC.draws tourists in large numbers every yearD.has a center where tourists meet their s

38、pouses(2).Which statement is NOT true of Covent Garden?（分数：3.00）A.It is crowded with people.B.It is located in London.C.it is filled with stalls.D.It is surrounded by shops, churches, restaurants and cafes.(3).Why do people think that Venice is so great?（分数：3.00）A.Because it is a famous tourist attr

39、action.B.Because you can reach anywhere by boat.C.Because it is well known for its merchants.D.Because all the mistakes have been removed.(4).What are Parisians famous for?（分数：3.00）A.Their pursuit of independence.B.Their enthusiasm for conversation.C.Their ability to keep the city flourishing.D.Thei

40、r devotion to developing a multiple culture.(5).The writer cites the Duomo in the last paragraph as an example to illustrate that _.（分数：3.00）A.there is a tight link between church and societyB.all churches are magnificentC.old churches are very popularD.high-rise churches are impressive六、第二篇(总题数：1，分

41、数：15.00)Elements of ArtThroughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists. No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause changeto find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before. Landscape (风景

42、) is another unchanging element of art. It can be found from ancient times through the 17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists. In the 1970s Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists, continued this practice. Leslie sought out the same place where Thomas

43、 Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before. Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Ledge pains what he actually sees. In his paintings, there is no particular change in motion, and he includes ordina

44、ry things like the highway in the background. He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography (摄影术) to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom. Besides, all art begs the age-old question: What is real? Each generation of artists has

45、 shown their understanding of reality in one form or another. The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests. To sum up, understandi

46、ng reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods. Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant. Past or present, eastern or western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience. Many and different are the faces of art, and together they exp

47、ress the basic need and hope of human beings.（分数：15.00）(1).The underlined word “poetry“ most probably means _.（分数：3.00）A.an object for artistic creationB.a collection of poemsC.an unusual qualityD.a natural scene(2).Leslie“s paintings are extraordinary because _.（分数：3.00）A.they are close in style to

48、 works in ancient timesB.they look like works by 19th-cenary paintersC.they draw attention to common things in lifeD.they depend heavily on color photography(3).What is the author“s opinion of artistic reality?（分数：3.00）A.It will not be found in future works of art.B.It does not have a long-lasting s

49、tandard.C.It is expressed in a fixed artistic form.D.It is lacking in modern works of art.(4).What does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph?（分数：3.00）A.They express people“s curiosity about the past.B.They make people interested in everyday experience.C.They are considered important for variety in form.D.They are regarded as a mirror of the human situation.(5).Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?（分数：3.00）A.History of the arts.B.Basic questions of the arts.C.New developments in the arts.D.Use of modern technology in the arts.七、第三篇(总题数
