While researching consumers’ response to his product, he asked, “Ships are commonly referred to as ‘she’ or ‘her’. What gender (性别) would you give to your computer? Give four reasons to support your answer. A large group of women reported that the computers should be referred to as “he” or “him” because:1. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.2. They have a lot of data, but are still hard to understand.3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they are problems.4. As soon as you buy one, you realize that, if you had waited a little longer you could have had a better model.The men, on the other hand, said that computers should be referred to as “she” or “her” because:1. The language they use to communicate with other computers is impossible to understand for most men.2. Even your smallest mistakes are stored in the long-term memory and will be remembered forever.3. As soon as you get one, you find yourself spending half your money on accessories (附件) for it.21.

But his name was not Bill Clinton. It was William Jefferson Blythe. His mother named his for his father, who had been killed in a car accident a few months before he was born. When Bill was four years old, his mother married Roger Clinton who then legally became Bill’s father. Roger Clinton and Bill’s mother had a son, Roger Jr. Bill Clinton studies international affairs at Georgetown University in Washington, D. C. He won a Rhodes scholarship to study at Oxford University in Britain. There, he met other students with whom he has continued life-long friendships. One of them is Robert Reich, who was just nominated to be Secretary of Labor. After Oxford, Bill Clinton earned a law degree at Yale University. In 1973, Bill Clinton became a law professor at the University of Arkansas, but he was too interested in politics to stay at the university. He campaigned for the House of Representatives but was defeated. In 1976, he was elected General for the state of Arkansas, the state government’s chief lawyer. Two years later, Bill Clinton was elected Governor of Arkansas. He was defeated for re-election after his first two-year term. But he was elected Governor again in 1982. He has been re-elected to that office every two years since then. Bill Clinton married lawyer Hillary Rodham Rodham in 1975.

One year , however Mr. Smith made a lot of money in his business , so they decided to go to London and stay at a really good hotel while they went touring around the famous city .They flew to London and arrived at their hotel late one evening . They expected that they would have to go to bed hungry , because in that small inn in New Jersey , no meals were served after seven . They were therefore surprised when the man who received them in the hall asked whether they would take dinner there that night .“ Are you still serving dinner ? ” asked Mr. Smith .“ Yes , certainly , sir , ” answered the man . “ We serve it until half past nine . ”“ What are the times of meals then ? ” asked Mr. Smith .“ Well , sir ” answered the man , “ we serve breakfast from seven to half past eleven in the morning , lunch from twelve to three in the afternoon , tea from four to five , and dinner from six to half past nine . ”“ But that hardly leaves any time for us to see the sights of London , ” said Mrs. Smith .26.

It acts like a mobile phone, but only in your own city. Beyond the city walls, it’s useless. “Little Smart”, also called “xiaolingtong”, has always been compared to mobile phones. But actually, it is more like one of those cordless phones(无绳电话) used around the home. The only difference is that this one reaches much further than from the bathroom to the living room. It can travel across an entire city. Cheap costs are the main reason for the success of Little Smart. It costs 25 yuan a month for the line and about 0.1 yuan per minute to use. A mobile phone, on the other hand, can cost four or five times as much. What’s more, unlike mobile phones, there’s no fee(费) for incoming calls. So these low charges have attracted many users. But, Little Smart is not really that smart. Users often complain about its bad voice quality. And there are not as many stations to pick up its signals（信号）as there are for mobiles. “I couldn’t receive a phone call if I was on a bus,” said Li Ping, a user in Hangzhou. “It worked fine when I stood still, but there were breaks in signal when I was moving.” Scientists are trying to make Little Smart more user friendly. Messaging and Internet access(接入) have been added to the service. And the latest Little Smart handset even has color screen.31. Why is Little Smart popular in China? ___________A. It looks like a mobile phone. B. The service is much cheaper.C. There is no fee for incoming calls. D. All of the above.32. How is the charge of Little Smart? ______________A. About 10 fen per minute to use. B. It costs four or five times more than a mobile phone.C. It only costs 25 yuan each month. D. There’s no fee for calls.33. Why are users not satisfied with Little Smart? ___________A. They can’t hear each other clearly out of the city.B. There are so few stations for Little Smart to pick up its signals.C. When you use it, you must stand up. D. The charges are low.34. The underlined word “handset” in the last paragraph means “_________”.A. the hand bag B. telephone C. service D. mobile phone35. What can we infer from the passage? ________________.A. It’s wrong to say that Little Smart is smart. B. Scientist are trying to make Little Smart smaller.C. Little Smart will be better than today. D. People will change Little Smart into a mobile phone.参考答案:卷一一. 单选1—5 BDACB 6—10 DDABB二. 完形11—15 BBDCB 16—20 CCADD三. 阅读21—25 CDACB 26—30 CBABD卷二一. 听力1—5 CBCAB 6—10 BABAA 11—15 CBBCB 16—20 BCAAB二. 阅读21—25 ADBAD 26—30 CDBAB 31—35 DABDC三.翻译36. ruled out , looking into37. envy , seeing , up close38. much to do , 。
