A

With the rapid social development, the Internet now provides social networks that include online movies and videos．The major television networks have much less control over your mind and their broadcasts for entertainment and, more importantly, advertising．It has long been known that television’s audience will spend more time on the Internet than watching TV．People have found another means of entertainment by going to websites which seem to satisfy their specific interests more completely．This isn’t very good news for the t elevision networks．The influence of people using DVRs （Digital Video Recorder）also has led to fewer and fewer viewers watching television commercials．Market research indicates the effectiveness of TV ads is getting weaker as a result．Many DVR owners are fast forwarding and skipping television commercials．With viewers now spending an average of four times longer on the Internet and more viewers avoiding commercials, this trend isn’t good for television’s advertising revenues（收

益）．

Major TV advertise rs know full well that their advertising dollars on TV aren’t as an effective investment as they once were．The major players in advertising have been moving towards the Internet as a serious alternative means of advertising．

For thousands of people inv olved in Internet marketing, it’s h istory-making to share the revenue that previously all went to major television networks．There’s already a group of Internet marketers being paid a larger amount of advertising revenue．These are everyday people that work usually from home on their own．Advertisers can direct their advertising to websites where viewer types are more likely to be interested in their product or service．

The development of the Internet and its role and change in our lives cannot be compared to any other form of media created throughout the history of mankind．

56．People are going to websites for entertainment because _______．

A．they’d like to follow the last trend

B．there are fewer commercials

C．there are more movies and videos

D．they can choose what meets their particular needs

57．We can learn from the second paragraph that ______．

A．viewers are bored with television commercials

B．the television viewing time should be limited

C．many television commercials are of poor quality

D．there are more commercials on DVRs than on TV

58．It can be inferred from the passage that _____．

A．people spend time on the Internet mainly for entertainment

B．most people prefer to work at home nowadays

C．the Internet will attract more and more advertisers

D．the appearance of TV changed our lives

59．The passage mainly tells us ________．

A．the rapid social development

B．the fast development of the Internet advertising

C．the way to advertise on the Internet

D．the influence of television commercials

B

Greeks play a special game at Easter and it’s good fun! The rules of the game are as follows: 1．Everyone picks out a hard-boiled Waster Egg．2．Each player finds a partner．One person will be a “holder”, and the other will be a “tapper”．Holders should hold the egg with either the pointy end or the round end facing up．Tappers should hold the egg with that same end facing down．Tapping must be done pointy-end-to-pointy-end or round-end-to-round-end．3．With one good tap, the tapper tries to crack the holder’s egg．One player will end up with a cracked egg．4．Each player finds another partner and repeats steps 2 and 3．（After one end of the egg is cracked, players may continue to play using the uncracked end）．5．A player loses when both ends of his egg have been cracked．The winner is the person who still has an uncracked egg．6．Enjoy eating the eggs!

Dye your Easter eggs．With an adult’s help, dye hard-boiled eggs red using food coloring or egg dye．For a nice sheen, use a paper towel to rub some oil on each egg．But don’t use too much

oil---you wouldn’t want your egg to slide out of your hand when you play the egg-cracking game!

Why dye eggs red? Eggs represent new life and the red dye symbolizes the pain and suffering in the past．

Why crack eggs? Some say that the cracking of the eggs symbolizes a wish to break away from human misery and enter the new life．

60．A player has to drop out of the game when _____．

A．the pointy end of his egg is cracked

B．the round end of his egg is cracked

C．his egg slides out of the hand

D．his egg is cracked at both ends

61．Why is oil rubbed on the egg?

A．To give the egg a shiny appearance

B．To make the game more difficult to play

C．To protect the hand of the player

D．To symbolize the wealth of the Greeks

62．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．The holders hold the eggs with the pointy end facing up in most cases

B．If one end of the player’s egg is cracked, he will eat the egg

C．The player in the game must dye his egg red independently

D．It’s said that the broken eggs represent the wish to lead a new life

63．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A．The suffering of the Greeks B．The Easter holidays

C．Celebrate Greek Easter D．A special game

C

Communications technologies are far from equal when it comes to conveying the truth．The first study to compare honesty across a range of communication media has found that people are twice as likely to tell lies in phone conversations as they are in emails．The fact that emails are automatically recorded—and can come back to puzzle you---appears to be the key to the finding．Jeff Hancock of Cornell University in Ithaca, New Y ork, asked 30 students to keep a communications diary for a week．In it they noted the number of conversations or email exchanges they had lasting more than 10 minutes, and confessed to how many lies they told．Hancock then worked out the number of lies per conversation for each medium．He found that lies made up 14 per cent of emails, 21 percent of instant messages, 27 per cent of face-to-face interactions and an astonishing 37 percent of phone calls．

His results to be presented at the conference on human-computer interaction in Vienna, Austria, in April, have surprised psychologists．Some expected emailers to be the biggest liars, reasoning that because deception makes people uncomfortable, the indirect contact of emailing would make it easier to lie．Others expected people to lie more in face-to-face exchanges because we are most practiced at that form of communication．

But Hancock says it is also crucial whether a conversation is being recorded and could be reread, and whether it occurs in real time．People appear to be afraid to lie when they know the communication could later be used to hold them to account, he says．This is why fewer lies appear in email than on the phone．

People are also more likely to lie in real time---in an instant message or phone call, say---than

if they have time to think of a response, says Hancock．He found many lies are spontaneous（脱口而出）responses to an unexpected demand, such as: “Do you like my dress?”

Hancock hopes his research will help companies work out the best ways for their employees to communicate．For instance, the phone might be the best medium for sales where employees are encouraged to stretch the truth．But, given his result, work assessment where honesty is a priority, might be best done using email．

64．Hancock’s study focuses on _______．

A．the consequences of lying in various communications media

B．the success of communications technologies in conveying ideas

C．people are less likely to lie in instant messages

D．people’s honesty levels across a range of communications media

65．Hancock’s research finding surprised those who believed that _____．

A．people are less likely to lie instant messages

B．people are unlikely to lie in face-to-face interactions

C．people are most likely to lie in email communication

D．people are twice as likely to lie in phone conversations

66．According to the passage, why are people more likely to tell the truth through certain media of communication?

A．They are afraid of leaving behind traces of their lies

B．They believe that honesty is the best policy

C．They tend to be relaxed wh en using those media

D．They are most practised at those forms of communication

67．It can be inferred from the passage that ________．

A．honesty should be encouraged in interpersonal communications

B．suitable media should be chosen for different communication purposes

C．more employers will use emails to communicate with their employees

D．email is now the dominant medium of communication within a company

D

In a country that defines itself by ideals, not by shared blood, who should be allowed to come to work and live here? In the wake of the Sept．11 attacks these questions have never seemed more pressing．

On Dec．11, 2001, as part of the effort to increase homeland security, federal and local authorities in 14 states staged “Operation Safe Travel”---raids on airports to arrest employees with false identification．In Salt Lake City there were 69 arrests．But those captures were anything but terrorists, most of them illegal immigrants from Central or South America．Authorities said the undocumented workers’ illegal status made them open to blackmail（讹诈）by terrorists．Many immigrants in Salt Lake City were angered by the arrests and said they felt as if they were being treated like disposable goods．Mayor Anderson said those feelings were justified to a certain extent．“We’re saying we want you to work in these places, we’re going to look the other way in terms of what our laws are, and then when it’s convenient for us, or when we can try to make a point in terms of national security, especially after Sept．11, then you’re disposable．They are whole families being uprooted for all of the wrong reasons,” Anderson said．If Sept．11 had never happened, the airport workers would not have been arrested and could have gone on quietly living in America, probably indefinitely．Ana Castro, a manager at a Ben &

Jerry’s ice cream shop at the airport had been working 10 years with the same false Social Security card when she was arrested in the December airport raid．Now she and her family are living under the threat of deportation（驱逐出境）．Castro’s case is currently waiting to be settled．While she awaits the outcome, the government has granted her permission to work here and she has returned to her job at Ben & Jerry’s．

68．How did the immigrants in Salt Lake City feel about “Operation Safe Travel”?

A．Guilty B．Offended C．Disappointed D．Discouraged 69．Undocumented workers became the target of “Operation Safe Travel” because ____．A．evidence was found that they were potential terrorists

B．most of them worked at airports under threat of terrorists

C．terrorists might take advantage of their illegal status

D．they were reportedly helping hide terrorists around the airport

70．By saying “…we’re going to look the other way in terms of what our laws are”, Mayor Anderson means “______”．

A．there are other ways of enforcing the law

B．we will examine the laws in a different way

C．we will turn a blind eye to your illegal status

D．the existing laws must not be ignored

第一节：短文改错（10分）

As the College Entrance Examination is drawing nearby, some students would rather expect good luck than to make every effort to study．They think success results good luck．Whether they can be admitted to key universities depend on luck．However, others insist that diligence is a mother of success．Only by working hard can they achieve what they want．Since they fail sometimes, they don’t give up, for they believe that success lies in our own hands．As for me, I’m in favor of the latter opinion．Luck doesn’t come alone．It goes hand by hand with hard working．Sometimes, some students are lucky enough to succeed, but such luck won’t last long because it is not basing on their own abilities．

Recently, we have conducted a survey on near-sightedness suffered by pupils and middle school students．We are astonished by the result that an increasing number of students have become near-sighted, with a percentage of 21 in elementary（primary）schools and 32% in middle schools．

The findings are that many students have to spend much time doing their lessons because of heavy schoolwork．Even some students are addicted to playing computer games, surfing the Internet or chatting on line．Worse still, few students have formed the habit of relaxing their eyes after hard work．Besides, poor living and studying conditions also account for this situation．We advocate that it is quite necessary for students to protect their eyesight automatically for the sake of their further development．Meanwhile, living and studying conditions in some areas call for immediate improvement．
