阅读理解。     Several years ago, I had a huge falling out with one of my best friends. So huge, in fact, that now
I can"t even remember what happened.
     In the past nine years, I"ve seen her twice, and each time we"ve been polite but distant. And that
troubles me because we were once inseparable. I"d like nothing more than to go back nine years, and
continue our friendship. But how? How do you reconnect with friends you"ve lost throughout the years?
     Linking to your past
     The desire to reconnect with lost friends isn"t unusual. Why? Because friends link us to the past.
"Friends from years ago are custodians (监护人) of our past," says Sandy Sheehy.
     Although you can share information about your past with friends you"ve met recently, you don"t have
a shared history with them. So you wind up only telling them about your past, rather than sharing it with
them.
But many people never try to reconnect. Women especially have trouble taking the first step. Shyness or
fear that the other person doesn"t want to reconnect often stops many women. And that shouldn"t be.
Your friends probably want to be in touch with you as much as you want to be in touch with them.
     Searching for friends
     Fortunately, finding lost friends isn"t as difficult as it once was, thanks to tools like the Internet. Our
experts offer these suggestions for locating contact information:
     Search Internet sites designed to locate people like classmates.com and switchboard.com.
     Contact your high school or college alumni (校友) office to request current address information.
     Surf online yellow pages. Check current phone records from your friend"s hometown.
     Network with other friends who might have known your friend.
     Get in touch with any of her relatives, if you know where they live. If you know where she works,
find the company"s website and search the directory of personnel.1. What is the subject discussed in the passage?A. How to make new friends.
B. How to rebuild friendship.
C. How to develop healthy friendship.
D. How to keep in touch with friends.2. The underlined sentence "friends from years ago are custodians of our past" in Paragraph 3 means ___.A. years ago old friends kept something for us
B. in the past old friends took care of us
C. old friends are part of our life history
D. old friends know what wrongs we did3. What makes us unwilling to reconnect old friends?A. Lack of money.
B. Busy time.
C. Regret and shame.
D. Fear and shyness.4. How can we make contact with the lost friends?A. By asking other friends of the information on your lost friends.
B. By searching your friends" telephone number on the Net.
C. By asking the local post office about your friends" new address.
D. By putting an advertisement in your friends" local town.

阅读理解。     Computer people talk a lot about the need for other people to become "computer-literate." But not all
experts (专家) agree that this is a good idea.
     One pioneer, in particular, who disagrees is David Tebbutt, the founder of Computertown UK. Although 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 Computertown UK was formed for just the opposite reason, to bring computers
to people and make them "people-literate." David Tebbutt thinks Computertowns are most successful
when tied to a computer club but he insists 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 are
happier going to Computertowns where there are computers for them to experiment on, with experts to
encourage them and answer any questions they have. 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 don"t have to learn computer terms (术语), but the experts have to explain
in plain language. The computers are becoming "people-literate."1. Which of the following is David Tebbutt"s ides on the relationship between people and computers?A. Computer learning should be made easier.
B. There should be more computer clubs for experts.
C. People should work harder to master computer use.
D. Computers should be made cheaper so that people can afford them.2. We can infer from the text that "computer-lilerate" means_______.A. being able to afford a computer
B. being able to write computer programs
C. working with the computer and finding out its value
D. understanding the computer and knowing how to use it3. The underlined word "it" in the second paragraph refers to the idea that Computertowns ___.A. help to set up more computer clubs
B. bring people to learn to use computers
C. bring more experts to work together
D. help to sell computers to the public4. David Tebbutt started Computertown UK with the purpose of______.A. making better use of computer experts

阅读理解。     The most frightening words in the English language are, "Our computer is down." You hear it more
and more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to
Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, "I"m sorry, I can"t sell you a ticket. Our computer is
down."
     "If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket."
     "I can"t write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so."
     I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and
staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, "What do all you people do?"
     "We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with
us or not."
     So when it goes down, you go down with it."
     "That"s good, sir."
     "How long will the computer be down?" I wanted to know.
     "I have no idea. Sometimes it"s down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There"s no way we
can find out without asking the computer, and since it"s down it won"t answer us."
      After the girl told me they had no backup (备用) computer, I said. "Let"s forget the computer. What
about your planes? They"re still flying, aren"t they?"
     "I couldn"t tell without asking the computer."
     "Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he"s flying to Washington, " I suggested.
     " I wouldn"t know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn"t
take you if you didn"t have a ticket."
     "Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?"
     "I wouldn"t know, " she said, pointing at the dark screen. "Only "IT" knows. "It" can"t tell me."
     By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travelers
that the computer was down. Some people went white, some people started to cry and still others kicked
their luggage.1. The best title for the article is _______.A. When the Computer Is Down
B. The Most Frightening Words
C. The Computer of the Airport
D. Asking the Computer2. What could the girl in the ticket office do for the passengers without asking the computer?A. She could sell a ticket.
B. She could write out a ticket.
C. She could answer the passengers" questions.
D. She could do nothing.3. Why do you think they had not a backup computer?A. Because it was easy down
B. Because it was very expensive.
C. Because it was not advanced enough.

阅读理解。 Do you like sitting on the edge of your seat? How about falling off it laughing? If so, "Rush Hour 1" is
the perfect movie for you. Although it didn"t get the best reviews, it is perfect for those who like a good
comedy.

     Just as in the first "Rush Hour," Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) and LAPD Detective James Carter
(Chris Tucker) are partners. This time, they are on vacation in China and Carter is looking for a good
time, but they are on the job again when a bombing at the American Embassy kills two customs agents.
Lee and Carter go to look for a suspect named Ricky Tan. For Lee this is a serious case because Tan
killed his father. Will Carter and Lee be able to capture Tan?
     Another reason to see this movie perhaps is for the thrilling action, which includes karate fights with
Jackie Chan. One of my favorite scenes shows Carter and Lee in a massage parlor (店堂) when
everything goes crazy.
     "Rush Hour 2" is, of course, really funny with Chris Tucker in the lead role. Chan and Tucker have
many clever jokes and remarks. Some of the jokes aren"t enjoyed by the critics, but most will find them
entertaining.
     With no doubt, the movie was great. I was filled with anxiety about what was going to happen next.
Many critics say that sequels (续集) are not as good as the original but this one is great. I especially
enjoyed it because the special effects are minimal so everything looks as though it actually happened. The
lighting effect is great as well as the sound.
     So, if you are looking for a great action movie that leaves you at the edge of your seat and makes you
laugh quite a bit, you should rush to see "Rush Hour 2."1. According to the author, "Rush Hour 2" is a perfect movie particularly ______.A. full of special effects
B. with the best actors
C. full of humors
D. with great lights2. In "Rush Hour 2", the two leading roles are on duty again because ______.A. their vocation in China is limited to a short term
B. inspector Lee doesn"t want to have a good time
C. the American Embassy in China was attacked
D. a suspect named Ricky Tan killed Lee"s father3. In Rush Hour series, the following are usually included EXCEPT _____. A. thrilling actions
B. maximal special effects
C. karate fights
D. clever jokes and remarks4. If "Rush Hour 3" is shot, what kind of the movie will it be? ______.A. Stage tragedy
B. Action movie
C. Soap opera
D. Situational comedy

完形填空。     Most worthwhile careers require some kind of specialized training. Therefore, the choice of an   1

"Tomorrow is another day"- this line has impressed various people at various times. It"s now 70 years after it appeared in the film, but it still seems to hold its power especially during an economic downturn. The phrase comes from a film adaptation of Margaret Mitchell"s successful 1936 novel Gone With the Wind. It"s set in the American South and tells the story of a strong heroine, Scarlett O" Hara, who struggles to find love during the Civil War and, afterwards, of her strength in surviving the war and its hardships. Love story In a moment of despair, Scarlett finally realizes that her love belongs to Rhett Butler. For many audiences, it is the theme of love and struggle that has kept the movie alive. While the burning of Atlanta might seem irrelevant to today"s viewers, the timeless theme of love keeps its ability to touch people. With a promise to her lover still in her mind, Scarlett chooses to stay in the midst of war and take care of Melanie. But her heart is broken when Rhett just walks away, leaving the woman that he once loved with cruel words, "Frankly, dear, I don" t give a damn." Great epic The film shows the love-hate relationship of these characters, but also American history, the fall of the Confederacy and the following period of Reconstruction in the South. The background made this film a true classic in the epic genre. When the film opened after World War II, French viewers loved it, and it reminded them of their fight against the Nazis. In 1940 Shanghai, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, people stood in line for hours to watch this film, and saw the same suffering they were having as well as the hope and possibility of building a new homeland from the ruins. Each nationality could identify with the story and see it as a victory. In fact, Gone With the Wind never lost its charm and ability to inspire and amaze. Biggest of all time The film had five directors, 15-plus screenwriters, and an unexpected $3.9 million budget. The film brought in $ 200 million, which makes it the biggest selling film of all times in North America. It also won 10 Academy awards in 1940.

A. the novel Gone with the Wind B. "tomorrow is another day" C. the movie Gone with the Wind D. the Academy Award
2. The text is written mainly to _______.
A. celebrate the anniversary of Margaret Mitchell B. introduce how the film was directed and filmed C. throw light on the charm of the movie "Gone with the Wind" D. inspire people to struggle the economic downturn
