21、ars by selling false signatures of famous Americans. Spring was born in England in 1813 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1858 to open a bookstore. At first he made some money by selling his small but real collection of early US autographs( 亲笔签名 ). Discovering his ability at copying handwriting, he beg
22、an to learn the signatures of George Washington and Ben Franklin and writing them on the title pages of old books. To reduce the chance of being discovered, he sent his works to England and Canada for sale. Forgers have a difficult time soiling their products. A forger cant go to a respectable buyer
23、 but must deal with people who dont have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways to make their works look real. For example, they buy old books to use the aged paper of the title page, and they treat paper and ink with chemicals. After the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the souther
24、n states, so, Spring invented a respectable lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson, the only daughter of General “Stone Wall“ Jackson. For several years Miss Fannys money problems forced her to sell a great number of letters belonging to her famous father. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the deman
25、d. All this activity did not prevent Spring dying in poverty. 51 Robert Spring spent 15 years （ A） running a bookstore in Philadelphia （ B） writing letters to Miss Fanny Jackson （ C） as a forger （ D） as a respectable seller 52 According to the passage, forgers are usually sold to _. （ A） experts （ B
26、） persons who aren t experts （ C） book sellers （ D） owners of old books 53 Who was Miss Fanny Jackson? （ A） The only daughter of General “Stone Wall“ Jackson. （ B） A little known girl who sold her fathers letters to Robert Spring. （ C） Robert Springs daughter. （ D） An imaginary person created by Spr
27、ing. 54 You can use your Business Telecard International at any card phone in the United Kingdom. Here is some information about making international phone 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 diali
28、ng 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 particular person and no one else, in this ease you should ask for a “person-to-person“ call. Even more expensive is a reverse charge call where t
29、he 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 opera- mr will call 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 Su
30、ndays. 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 GMT 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 p
31、ut forward one hour in spring and put back in au- tumn, and so London is actually one hour ahead of GMT in the summer. 54 What is the most expensive type of call? （ A） Direct dial. （ B） Through the operator. （ C） Reverse charge call. （ D） Calling outside office hours. 55 What can you do if the inter
32、national line is engaged? （ A） Ask the operator to call you back later. （ B） Make a “person-to-person“ call. （ C） Call back outside office hours. （ D） Walt and call again when the line is free. 56 When is it cheaper to make an international call? （ A） 10 a.m. （ B） 5 p.m. （ C） 11 p.m. （ D） 8 a.m. 57
33、If you want to use your Business Telecard International, you have to （ A） use a card phone （ B） phone on Sunday （ C） make a direct dialing call （ D） pay extra 58 Most of the animals have little connection with animals of a different kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however, two kinds
34、 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 they find easy food in the parasites( 寄生虫 )on sheep. The sheep al- low the birds to do so because they move the cause of
35、discomfort. So although they can live without each other, they do batter together. Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners can- not five without each other. This is so in the corals (珊瑚 ) of the sea. In their skins there are tiny plants which act as
36、“dustmen“, taking some of the waste products from the corals and giving in mturn oxygen(氧气 ) which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are even prevented from receiving light so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die. 58 Some birds like to sit on a sheep because_.
37、（ A） they can eat its parasites （ B） they enjoy traveling with the sheep （ C） they depend on the sheep for existence （ D） they find the position most comfortable 59 The underlined word “they“ in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to （ A） birds and parasites （ B） birds and sheep （ C） par
38、asites and sheep （ D） sheep, birds and parasites 60 We learn from the text that corals depend on plants for （ A） comfort （ B） light （ C） food （ D） oxygen 61 What does the second paragraph mainly discuss? （ A） Some animals and plants depend on each other for existence. （ B） Some animals and plants de
39、velop their relationship easily. （ C） Some plants depend on each other for food. （ D） Some animals live batter together. 62 Computer people talk lots about the need for other people to become “computer literate “. But not all experts think it a good idea. One pioneer, in particular, who disagrees, i
40、s 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 UK was formed for just the opposite reason, to bring computers to people and make them “people litera
41、te“. 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 knowledge already. This frightens away non-experts, who want to go to Computer towns where there are
42、 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 about computers, but have to be able to answer all questions people ask. People needn t learn computer
43、terms(术语 ). But the experts have to explain in plain language. The computars are becoming “people literate“. 62 Which of the following is David Debut s idea on the relationship between people and computers? （ A） Computer learning should be made easier. （ B） There should be more computer clubs for ex
44、perts. （ C） People should work harder to master computer use. （ D） Computers should be made cheaper so that people can afford them. 63 We can infer from the text that “computer literal“ means _. （ A） being able to afford a computer （ B） being able to write computer programs （ C） working with the com
45、puter and finding out its value （ D） understanding the computer and knowing how to use it 64 The underlined word “it“ in the second paragraph refers to the idea that Computer town （ A） helps to set up more computer clubs （ B） brings people to learn to use computers （ C） brings more experts to work t
46、ogether （ D） helps to sell computers to the public 65 David Debut started Computer town UK with the purpose of _. （ A） making better use of computer experts （ B） improving computer programs （ C） increasing computers sales （ D） popularizing computers 66 David Beckham was born in 1975 in London, at a
47、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, he won the Bobby Charlton Soccer Skills award. This was an important step f
48、orward for this young boy, and it led him to go for a visit to a football training camp in Spain. As a boy he played for schools of Essex and also for his county team. In 1991, he became a trainee with Manchester United. This meant that he could practice foot- ball as much as be wanted to and play f
49、or the highly successful Manchester United Youth Cap team and Under-2l learn. In April, 1995 he played his first football league game against Leeds Untied. During 1995 and 1996, David became a regular member of the team and Manchester United won in both football seasons, with David scoring many goals. His goals made him a household name. In the first game of the 1996 - 1997 season, he scored a surprising goal from beyond the halfway line; seeing t
