Questions 61 to 65 are based on the same passage or dialog. Time limitation: 4 minutes and 12 seconds
What kind of car will we be driving in 2010? They would be rather different from the type we know today, with the next twenty years bringing greater change than the past fifty. The people who will be designing the models of tomorrow believe that environmental problems may well accelerate (加速) the pace of automotive design. Today they are students on the transport design course at London's Royal college of Art.
Their vision (相象中的画面) is of a machine with three wheels instead of four, electrically powered, environmentally clean, and able to drive itself along \supplies. Future cars will pick up their fuel during long journeys from a power source built into the road, or store it in small quantities for travel in the city.
Instead of today's seating arrangements-two in front, two or three behind, all facing forward-the 2010 car will have a versatile (有许多用途的) interior with adults and children in a family circle. This view of the future car is based on a much more sophisticated (复杂的) road system, with strips built into motorways to supply power to vehicles passing along them. Cars will not need drivers, because computers will provide safe driving control and route finding. All the driver will have to do is say where to go and the computer will do the rest. It will become impossible for cars to crash (撞) into one another. The technology already exists for the car to become a true automobile.

statements that follow the passage.
Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage. Time limit: 4 minutes and 18 seconds
Most Americans spend far more of their leisure time with entertainment and information sources than in any other occupation. Of all information and entertainment sources, television is clearly dominant (支配的), with newspapers a close second, at least as a source of news and other information. Our exposure (暴露,接触) to all of these sources is important, however, because they all contribute (贡献) materials for the construction of the world in our heads. For most people, increased use of one medium does not decrease use of another. In fact, in certain cases, and especially for certain purposes, the more one uses one medium, the more likely one is to use others. There are various factors that can cause you to expose yourself to one source selectively. Some of that selective exposure is probably due to the psychological pressure you feel when avoiding the discomfort caused by the confrontation with facts and ideas contrary to your beliefs, attitudes, or behavior. However, some selective exposure is not due to such pressure for consistency but to other factors, such as your age, education, and even the area in which you live and the people with whom you associate.
Quite a different sort of factor that affects your information and entertainment experiences is the social context of exposure-whether you are alone or with others when you are exposed to a medium; whether you are at home, at the office, in a theater, and so on. These contexts are as much a potential part of the message as film images on the screen or words on the page.
66. ____________ occupies our leisure time more than any other hobbies or occupation.

four choices marked A, B, C and D.
Questions 71 to 75 are based on the same passage or dialog.
Theirs is a modern love drama. They met on the Internet and fell deeply in love with each other. They shared secrets, memories, feelings-even though they had never laid eyes on each other. And now, the very technology that had brought them together was tearing them apart. \northern Idaho, he keeps emergency room patients company and walks nurses to their cars at night. He remembers the first day he went to the Internet. It was August 1995, and the computer was in the hospital library. It wasn't long before he was spending most of his free time in front of the screen.
It was purely by accident, Kevin says, that he discovered online pornography (色情内容). First he looked out of curiosity. \popped up. Eventually, the online sex world came to take the place of any real-world contact with women. \lonely.\
Then came a message from \singles site. Kevin fired off an immediate response, and the two began a dialogue that would last two months before he made the 50-mile drive to meet her. A few months later, they were married. What Marie loved about Kevin was his kindness, his interest in her kids. What she didn't know was that every time she was reading one of Kevin's love emails, he was at the other end of the connection looking secretly at pornography sites. \thought that it was just because he was interested in meeting new people.\
Whenever Kevin was home, he was online, with the door closed. A few times, he called her in to look at an especially \from her in bed. \
By January, Kevin knew he had a serious problem. He promised that he would never use the computer at home. But there was still the machine at the hospital. Every night, he would use his master key to get into the closed library and favor his curiosity as never before. Sometimes, for his entire eight-hour work time, he would sit in front of the screen. When his bosses asked him to look in on the library, where some \computer for a month, and then headed straight back to the same place.
This time, though, he walked into a trick. Earlier this summer, the hospital started using cameras and computer programs that recorded Kevin's every mouse(鼠标) click. On June 27, his bosses
confronted him and took him to the police station nearby. He was kept in the station for three days. Now Kevin lives under the continual watch of his wife and his boss.

Questions 76 to 80 are based on the same passage or dialog.
It was so quick and easy. A fourteen-year-old boy in Scottsdale, Arizona, put his $50 bill on a color copying machine. Within seconds he transformed $50 into $550, and he was ready to shop. Twenty years ago only a few people had the skills or equipment to make fake money. Today computer, copier, and printer technology is so good that almost anyone can \the new technology there is a new kind of casual faking machine. These machines are called casual because they don't have special skills and because they don't need to plan much. The number of bills made by casual fakers on their home or office computer is growing fast. In fact, this number has doubled every year since 1989! There is no way to stop faking 100 percent. But the government has recently found a few ways to make casual faking very difficult.
One way is to put very, very small words, called microprints(微型印刷品), in hidden places on the bill. The words are only 6/1000 inch. No one can read them without a magnifying glass, a special glass that makes things look bigger. And they are too small to come out clearly on a copier. If someone copies a bill that has microprints and you look at the copy through a magnifying glass, instead of microprinted words, you will see only black lines.
Another way to stop people from making fake money on their home computers is to use special color-changing ink. Money printed with color-changing ink will look green from one angle and yellow from another. Home computers cannot use color-changing ink. So any copies from a home computer will have normal ink and can be noticed quite easily.
Additionally, money is made on special paper with very small pieces of red and blue silk mixed in. And on each bill there is a special line that runs from the top to the bottom of the bill. Suppose, for example, that you hold a $20 bill up to the light. If you do this, you can see the line has the words \
with red and blue silk are not easy for home computers to copy.
The government must try many different ways to stop faking. It needs to keep changing the way money is made because fakers can learn to copy the changes. Today copiers can't copy microprinted words or color-changing ink. But, in a few years, who knows?
76. It can be concluded from the first three paragraphs that ________.
A. most children above the age of 14 can fake money
B. new high technology makes money faking easier
C. anyone who has a computer can fake money
D. casual faking machines are called casual for the reason that no skills and planning are required
77. The word \
A. making larger
B. making smaller
C. making clearer
D. making easier
78. You can be sure that the bill is faked when ________.

B. you see green ink from one direction and yellow from another on the bill
C. you see a special line on the bill that runs from the top to the bottom and that has such words as \D. you see normal ink on the bill

A. explanation
B. definition
C. analysis
D. description
80. The author ends the article with ________.
A. a conclusion
B. an idea and a worry
C. a prediction
D. a review
Questions 81 to 85 are based on the same passage or dialog.
Many teachers like to teach all the new words and structures in the text before reading begins. I am not going to say that new language should never be taught this way, but I have often thought that this is the dullest part of the lesson, and that the teaching would have been more effective if it had taken place actually during the process of reading.
It is difficult to make hard-and-fast rules, but you will frequently find that a new structure hardly needs explaining if it is taken in context; whether you want to teach it for active use is a matter beyond the scope of this book. For our purposes, if it can be understood without specific teaching, then it is not a barrier to the reader and to spend time on it would be pointless.
The same is true of vocabulary. You may feel the need to teach a few key words before the students begin to read, but other new words may be so unimportant that you do not want to draw attention to them, while others you will want to use for practicing the skill of inferring meaning from context. If your list of key words to be taught is long, this is a warning that the text is too difficult. Of course we are here facing the conflict between learning to read and learning the language. Your attitude will be determined partly by the kind of texts you use; if they are specifically intended to present new language, you cannot just ignore it. But the students have to learn to read as well; use supplementary texts for this if you can, but at least use the language teaching texts in such a way that they provide genuine reading tasks i.e. that students actually get practice in interpreting them. This will involve not teaching all the new language beforehand; helping the students to use the context as a guide to interpreting some of the new language; and practicing the new items after reading rather than before, in at least some cases.
Some of the problems will be alleviated by dealing with the text in short sections. The new language from a single section will be more manageable than the new language from the whole
text, so the dull preparatory work will be split up into short, more acceptable bits.
81. As for teaching a text, which of the following would be the LAST to be suggested?
A. To clear up all the language difficulties before reading starts.
B. To divide the text into short sections.
C. To encourage the students to learn the new language in context.
D. To practice the new language after reading if necessary.
82. According to the passage, if the texts are intended to present new language, the teacher
________.
A. should use supplementary texts to teach new language
B. should not forget to teach reading while presenting new language
C. should teach and practice new language before reading
D. can put reading practice aside for the time being
83. What does \
A. alternative
B. specific
C. complicated
D. fixed and unchangeable
84. In the first sentence of the last paragraph \
A. made more concrete
B. made more specific
C. paid more attention
D. made easier
85. The passage is mainly about _________.
A. reading skills
B. teaching reading skills
C. dealing with new language items
D. teaching foreign languages
Questions 86 to 90 are based on the same passage or dialog.
Halley's Comet (慧星) completed its latest trip around the Earth in 1986. It is now speeding toward the far-distant edges of our solar system. People on Earth will not be able to see it again until 2062. Scientists in many countries waited and prepared for years for the return of Halley's Comet. They planned new ways to observe the comet as it came near the Earth.
Comets are of great interest to scientists. This is because the space objects are believed to have changed very little since the solar system was formed 4,600 million years ago. Scientists believe that if they can learn more about the elements in a comet, they will understand more about conditions when the solar system was new.
Halley's Comet is probably the most famous comet. Historians say it was first noted about 2,200 years ago. The visit of the bright space object has been observed and recorded every 76 years since then. The comet was named after British scientist Edmund Halley. In the early 1700s, Halley studied records of the appearance of huge balls of fire flying across the sky. And he studied the sky to make his own observations. Halley was the first person to recognize that the balls of fire were really the same bright object, a comet. Halley said the comet circled the sun just as the planets did. And he said the comet's trip around the sun took about 76 years.
Since the discoveries by Edmund Halley, people have waited for that bright comet to return. When it came, people looked at it through small telescopes (望远镜) they held in their hands. And scientists looked at it through huge telescopes placed on top of mountains where the air was clear. But the most recent visit of Halley's Comet was the first time scientists could study the comet up very close. They did this through scientific instruments sent into space.
86. Halley's Comet is ________.
A. a planet
B. fire in space
C. a star
D. a bright space object
87. Which is the best topic of this passage?
A. What Is a Comet?
B. Halley's Comet
C. The Discovery of Halley's Comet
D. How Halley's Comet Was Discovered
88. Scientists are interested in comets in that ________.
A. comets are bright space objects
B. people will not be able to see them until 2062
C. they believe that if they can learn more about the elements in a comet, they will understand more about solar system
D. the space objects are believed to have changed very little since the solar system was formed 4,600 million years ago
89. The most recent appearance of Halley's Comet was different because scientists could study
the comet using ______________. A. instruments sent into space
B. telescopes they held in their hands
C. huge telescopes on top of mountains
D. space stations that could get them very close
90. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. People will be able to see Halley's Comet in 2062.
B. Halley's Comet was first noted about 2,200 years ago.
C. Halley's Comet was named by British scientist Edmund Halley.
D. Halley's Comet circles the sun.
Questions 91 to 95 are based on the same passage or dialog.
Florida International University has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States. You don't have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a computer linked to a telephone.
You call the telephone number of a University computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is stored in the school computer. It is computer art, created electronically by artists on their own computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.
Robert Shostak is the director of the new computer museum. He says he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their work.
A computer artist could only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy discs, to others to see on their computers. He could also put his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures on paper, the computer artist needed an expensive laser printer.
Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mister Shostak said the Florida International University museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists enjoy their work much more if they have an audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum.
