Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they're certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet thinking. Nor are they reading a book. New technology has replaced quiet habits. Today the only acceptable form of book on the London Underground is an e-book.
2007, over 40 000—yes, that's 40 000—“apps”(programs downloaded for the iPhone) have been designed.
Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-fillers. One “app”, called iShoot, is a game that features tanks. Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination. ISteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone. You can then write in the “steam” on your phone screen.
For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be the distraction(消遣)of choice. It's not just teenagers who “plug in” to their music—iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages.
And if games, e-books and music aren't enough to keep you occupied, then perhaps you would prefer a film? The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV show or film on the way to work. With all these distractions, it's amazing that people still remember to get off the train.
56. Commuters on a
A. the British are usually shy on the train
B. the British law doesn't allow them to do so
C. they are busy working on their laptops
D. they are busy enjoying high-tech distractions
57. All the following belong to “apps” except ______.
A. iShoot B. Tube Exits
C. iPod D. iSteam
58. IShoot features a function of ______.
A. war games B. listening
C. writing D. guiding
59. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Seeing you have these time-fillers, other commuters usually hesitate to bother you.
B. Apple must have made much money by selling their products to commuters.
C. IPod is not popular with the commuters of old age in
D. With the time-fillers, commuters usually miss their destinations.
答案及解析:
56.D。由第二段的提问和回答以及下文的描述可知选D。
57.C。由第三至五段对apps的介绍可知iPod是与之并列的另一种产品。
58.A。由第四段...iShoot, is a game that features tanks可知选A。
59.B。由文中人们都在使用这些产品,可推知Apple公司一定挣了很多的钱。
B
The market is a concept (概念,观念). If you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale you are producing for the market. You might sell some to your neighbor and some to the local manager of the supermarket. But in either case, you are producing for the market. Your efforts are being directed by the market. If people stop buying tomatoes, you will stop producing them.
If you take care of a sick person to earn money, you are producing for the market. If your father is a steel worker or a truck driver or a doctor or a grocer, he is producing goods or service for the market.
The market may be something abstract(抽象的). But for each person or business who is making and selling something, it is very concrete. If nobody buys your tomatoes, it won't be long before you get the message. The market is telling you something. It is telling you that you are using energies and resources in doing something the market doesn't want you to do.

Some houses are designed to be smart. Others have smart designs. An example of the second type of house won a Prize of Excellence from the American Club of Architects (建筑师).
On the shore of Sullivan's Island off the coast of South Carolina, the prize-winning beach house was built to replace one destroyed to pieces by Hurricane Hugo 10 years ago. In September 1989, Hugo struck
created the cleverly-designed beach house. All new houses are required to follow stricter instructions after the terrible experience in Hugo. The new houses on this land should be able to stand a terrible hurricane with the strongest wind 179 to 209 kilometers per hour.
At first sight, the house on the island look anything but hurricane-proof. Its redwood roof makes it look like “a large bright ball ” at night, according to one observer. But looks can be not true. The wooden formation of the house is supported with long steel sticks to give it huge strength. To further protect the house from hurricane damage, Huff raised it 2.7 meters off the ground on wood pilings, part of which were buried in the sand. In fact, they are strong enough to bear the weight of the house. They also lift the house above the sea water brought by the hurricane. The pilings allow the sea water to run under the house instead of running into it. “These waves of water come ashore at sreat speed and cause most of the damage done to the beach-front buildings,” said Huff.
65.After the disaster caused by Hurricane Hugo, new houses built along
A.to be easily constructed
B.to look smarter in design
C.to meet strict building standards
D.to be designed in the shape of a lamp
66.Huff raised the house 2.7 meters off the ground on wood pilings in order to ______.
A.put stronger pilings in the sand.
B.break huge sea waves into small ones.
C.stand the strong wind of about

67.According to the passage, which statement CANNOT be true?
A.The report above was written in 1999, ten years after Hugo.
B.The house designed by Ray Huff lay on the coast of
C.When a hurricane strikes, waves of water come ashore at a great speed.
D.The formation of the new house can make it stand a terrible hurricane.
答案及解析:
65.C。由第三段第二、三句可知“所有房屋的建造都要符合严格的标准”。
66.D。由最后一段第五句To further protect the house from hurricane damage...可知选项D正确。
67.B。由文章第三段可知Ray Huff是一个建筑师(architect, who created the cleverly-designed beach house),而不是一个设计师,故B项the house designed by Ray Huff是错误的。
D
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
“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.”
“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
“I wouldn't know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to
“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.
68. The best title for the article is ______.
A. When the Computer Is Down

A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man—the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.
This attitude toward manual(体力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invit-ed to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously (豪华地) furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional man may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.
72. From paragraph 1, we can know that in
A. people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made man
B. people can always rise to the top through their own efforts
C. college professors win great respect from common workers
D. people feel painful to mention their fathers as labors
73. According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because ______.
A. servants in
B. she takes pride in what she can do herself
C. she can hardly afford servants
D. it is easy to prepare a meal with canned food
74. The expression “ wait on table” in the second paragraph means “______”.
A. work in a furniture shop
B. keep accounts for a bar
C. wait to lay the table
D. serve customers in a restaurant
75. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?
A. A Respectable Self-made Family
B. American Attitude Toward Manual Labor
C. Characteristics of American Culture
D. The Development of Manual Labor
本文介绍了崇尚自我奋斗,尊重体力劳动的美国文化。
72. A。细节题。 根据 A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made men...我们可以了解到,“崇尚自我奋斗”是美国文化的特点。
73. B。推断题。根据This attitude toward manual(体力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life.(在美国生活的方方面面,尊重体力劳动态度的现象仍然随处可见),可以推断女主人亲自下厨,是因为她以能做这样的体力活而自豪。
74. D。词义猜测题。wait on table 意为“服务顾客”,注意其后的 washing dishes 也有一定的暗示意义,故答案为 D。
75. B。主旨题。纵观全文,文章主要讲了美国崇尚自我奋斗,尊重体力劳动的文化习惯。故答案为B。

请认真阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的词。注意:每空一词。
In many countries the standard of living enjoyed by their people has been increased rapidly in recent years. Sadly, not everyone in these countries is so fortunate and many people in rich countries are homeless.
The reasons for homelessness are various, but poverty is undoubtedly one of the main causes. The homeless people may have become jobless and then been unable to pay their rent and so no longer have a roof over their heads. Often, the fact that unemployed people get help from the government prevents this from happening, but not always.
Some homeless people are mentally ill and have no one to look after them. Some are young people who, for one reason or another, have left home and have nowhere to live. Many of them have had a serious disagreement with their parents and have left home, choosing to go to a city and live on the streets. Sometimes they have taken such action because they have been unable to get on with a step-parent.
Many homeless people get into the habit of begging to get enough money to stay alive, but many of the general public refuse to give anything to beggars. Often they are moved on by the police, being accused, whether rightly or wrongly, of forceful begging. There are many who disrespect homeless people.
Some cynics(愤世嫉俗的人) declare that homeless people choose to live the life which they lead. But who would willingly choose to live in a shop doorway, under a bridge or in a cardboard box?
