18、r, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said, “the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology. Point 1. The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way mo
19、re roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the every people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about Point 2. The mobile phone means that we are never alone.
20、”The mobile saved my life,” says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance to her rescue. Point 3. The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl
21、Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, and how their last meeting went. Point 4. The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramanate in Rome says, “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It wa
22、s easy to get his number. We were so near-but we didnt meet for the first two weeks!” Point 5. The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously（同声翻译地） on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldnt know what to talk about)
23、. We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while theyre space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access the Internet, the biggest library on Earth. 【小题 1】 Point 1 mainly tells us that _. A The writers daughter enjoys talking on t

26、 D Advantages of Phones 答案： 【小题 1】 C 【小题 2】 B 【小题 3】 C 【小题 4】 A Watching some children trying to catch butterflies one hot August afternoon, I was reminded of an incident in my own childhood. When I was a boy of 12 in South Carolina, something happened to me that cured me forever of wanting to put a
27、ny wild creature in a cage. We lived on the edge of a wood, and every evening at dusk the mockingbirds would come and rest in the tree and sing. There isnt a musical instrument made by man that can produce a more beautiful sound than the song of the mockingbird. I decided that I would catch a young
28、bird and keep it in a cage and that way have my own private musician. I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. At first, in its fright at being captured, the bird fluttered about the cage, but eventually it settled down in its new home, I felt very pleased with myself and looked for
29、ward to some beautiful singing from my tiny musician. I had left the cage out on our back porch（门廊） , and on the second day of the birds captivity my new pets mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth . The baby bird ate everything she brought to it. I was pleased to see this. Certainly the mot
30、her knew better than I how to feed her baby. The following morning when I went to see how my captive was doing, I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. I was shocked! What had happened I had taken excellent care of my little bird, or so I thought. Arthur Wayne, the famous ornithologist, happ
31、ened to be visiting my father at the time and, hearing me crying over the death of my bird, explained what had occurred: “A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poison berries. She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in captivity.” Never since then
32、have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage. All living creatures have a right to live free. 【小题 1】 The boy caught a mockingbird because_. A he wanted a pet for a companion B he liked its beautiful feather C he wanted it to sing for him D he had just got a cage 【小题 2】 The mockingbird died
33、 because_. A it ate some poisonous food the boy gave it by mistake B it ate the poisonous food its mother gave it C it was frightened to death D it refused to eat anything 【小题 3】 The word “ornithologist” in the last but one paragraph probably means_. A a religious person B a kind and sympathetic per
34、son C a schoolmaster D an expert in birds 【小题 4】 The most important lesson the boy learned from the incident is that_. A birds put in a cage wont live long B you have to be very careful about the food you give to young birds C when you capture a young mockingbird, you should keep it away from its mo
35、ther D freedom is valuable to all living creature. 答案： 【小题 1】 C 【小题 2】 B 【小题 3】 D 【小题 4】 D Modern society cannot well do without the contribution that women can make in the professions and other kinds of work. There is a serious shortage of nurses and teachers, to mention only two of the occupations
36、 followed by women. It is a waste to give years of training at public expense only to have the qualified teacher or nurse marry after a year or two and be lost forever to her profession. The training, it is true, will help her in her duties as a mother, but if she continued to work, her service woul
37、d be more widely useful. Many factories and shops, too, are largely staffed by women, many of them married. While here the question of training is not so important, industry and trade would be seriously short of staff if married women did not work. We can see then that there are good reasons for reg
38、arding it as desirable that married women should have some occupation outside the home. However, there are serious objections. Schools do not keep children occupied the whole day and school holidays are long. The mothers working day will almost certainly end well after the school day and her holiday
39、 will not begin at the same time as her childrens. There will be therefore a period when children are not taken care of unless a substitute for the mother can be found, or unless it becomes more generally possible for women to work part-time. There seem to be some grounds for believing that there is
40、 more bad behavior among the children of working mothers than among those of mothers who stay at home, but more evidence is required before we can be certain of this. What we can be certain of, however, is that many more will continue to do so. 【小题 1】 According to the writer, women nurses and teache
41、rs ought to carry on their occupation after marriage because_. A they are not allowed to give up their jobs B their training should not be wasted C they want to make a living by themselves D they must still improve themselves as mothers 【小题 2】 According to the writer, one possible way for the childr
42、en of working mothers to be attended to is that_. A schools keep children occupied the whole day B their mothers change their occupation C their mothers do not work full time D their mothers should stay at home 【小题 3】 The clause “unless a substitute for the mother can be found” means_. A if someone
43、takes over the mothers occupation B if no mother works all day C if no one takes care of the children for the mother D if someone takes care of the children for the mother 【小题 4】 The writer believes that bad behavior among the children of mothers who do not work is _ among the children of working mo
44、thers. A possibly less than B about the same as C a little greater than D certainly more than 答案： 【小题 1】 B 【小题 2】 C 【小题 3】 C 【小题 4】 A How does a place become a World Heritage Site It takes a lot of people to decide. 1） If a country wants one of its places to be on the World Heritage List, it has to
45、ask UNESCO. The place must be important and special. UNESCO put the Great Wall on the list in 1987 because, it said, it was a great part of Chinese culture and beautifully made to go with the land When a country asks, it must also make a plan for taking care of the place. 2） The World Heritage Commi
46、ttee of UNESCO talks about different places and decides whether to put them on the list. The committee meets every June. Many experts help the committee to decide. 3） After a new place goes on the list, UNESCO gives money to help keep it looking good If a place is in serious danger, it may be put on
47、 the List of World Heritage Sites in Danger. UNESCO gives special care and help to those places. 4） Countries have to give UNESCO regular reports about places on the list. If UNESCO thinks a country isnt taking good enough care of a place, the site will be taken off the list. 【 小题 1】 The passage imp
48、lies that _. A becoming a world heritage site takes hard work B a place with beautiful scenery is often on the World Heritage List C a place which was taken good care of is often on the World Heritage List D the Great Wall became a World Heritage Site for its long history. 【小题 2】 If a place successfully becomes a World Heritage Site, the country _. A can ask UNESCO for more money and help B should continue to take special care
