任务型阅读。     Some countries have large numbers of earthquakes. Japan is one of them. One of the most serious
earthquakes in world history took place in Japan in 1923. The shock and fires caused by it destroyed
much of Tokyo and Yokohama and left more than 7000 dead. Other countries do not have many. For
examples, there are few earthquakes in Brirain, France, Germany.
    There is often a great noise during an earthquake, but it is not always. The earth rocks. Houses fall
down. Railway lines are broken. Sometimes many people are killed in an earthquake. People think
earthquakes often happen near volcanoes (火山), but this is not always true. The centers of some are
under the sea. The bottom of the sea suddenly moves. The powerful forces inside the earth break the
rocks. The coast is rocking and great waves are caused there. These waves travel long distances and
rush over the land when they reach it. They are strong enough to break down houses and other buildings:
sometimes they break more buildings than earthquake itself.
     What kind of building stands up best in an earthquake? A building with concrete (水泥) walls is
perhaps the best. A steel frame (框架) will make it even stronger. The frame holds the different parts
together and the walls do not easily fall. There is less chance of fire because concrete and steel (钢材)
does not burn. This kind of building is the safest. Today modern concrete and steel apartment buildings
are commonly seen in cities of Japan. 第1小题判断正误,(“T”表示正确,“F”表示错误),2-4为简略回答问题,5小题为英译汉。

根据短文内容,判断正(T)误(F)。      Some people have very good memories, and can easily learn quite long poems by heart, while there are
people who can only remember things when they have said them over and over.
     Charles Dickens, the famous English author, said that he could walk down any long street in London and
then tell you the name of every shop he had passed. Many great men in the world have had wonderful
memories.
     A good memory is great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his own language by remembering
what he hears when he is a small child. Some children-like boys and girls who live in foreign countries with
their parents-seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one. In schools it is not easy to learn a second
language because the pupils have so little time to practice it, and they are busy with other subjects as well. 
    The human mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photographs not only of what we see but of what we
feel, hear, smell and taste. 
    Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us. (     )1. All the humans have good memories.
(     )2. Charles Dickens, the famous American writer, could remember things well.
(     )3. A good memory is of importance in your learning a language.
(     )4. Sometimes we can learn a second language without going to school.
(     )5. The human mind is a good camera.

阅读理解。     Students often want to practice their English outside class. One of the best ways to practice your English
is to speak to a foreigner. This week"s question comes from a student who is eager to start a conversation
with the foreigners he sees every day. One student asks, "Is it Okay to try to talk to foreigners I see in the
street?"
     The answer is yes or no, but probably no! If you see a foreigner who looks lost, it is polite to ask him,
"May I help you?" But, otherwise, you should probably let them get on with their business. Situations,
however, do exist (存在) where it is quite all right to talk to foreigners. If a foreigner enters your school,
office, shop or restaurant, for instance (例如), feel free to ask him (for example): 
     — What is your name? 
     — Where do you come from? 
     — What do you think of Beijing? 
     — How long will you stay in Beijing?
     There are also situations where it"s Okay to talk to foreigners in public places. If you see a foreigner
alone in a restaurant, bar or coffee shop, it may be appropriate (合适的) to ask him or her:
     — Is this seat free? 
     — Do you mind if I talk to you in English?
     You can probably help them if they are new to China and if they are alone. You may be able to make them
feel more welcome. 
     After a few such questions, you should know whether this person wants to talk to you or not. If they ask
you similar questions, or if they give long, informative answers, you"re in luck. If not, then give them their
privacy (独处). Talking to strangers is fun if you choose the right time and place. 1. It is the best way to practice your spoken English with _____. [     ]
A. Japanese
B. Americans
C. your classmates
D. French people 2. From the second paragraph, we can get to know that _____. [     ]
A. it is polite to stop a foreigner to talk with him in the street

阅读理解。     What do people do with their old, out of date but still useful computers? Most people don"t know what
to do with them. Many old computers are put away in homes. Many more are simply thrown away as the
rubbish.
     Finally, some companies are thinking of ways to bring down the number of old computers. Sony has
agreed to help recycle old Sony products (产品). Dell, Hewlett Packard and other companies now also take
back some old computers. 
    In some countries, laws have been passed, too. Computer companies have to pay for collecting and
recycling their used products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is
that computer companies themselves should pay for the cost. That will encourage them to make computers
that are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade (升级).
    Yet while many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds
of organizations are working to solve this problem. They collect and repair old computers. Some also teach
others how to repair computers. The computers then go to schools, charities (慈善团体) and people who
need them. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person"s rubbish into someone
else"s useful things and cut down waste, too. 1. What do many people do with old computers? [     ]
