阅读：Telephone, television, radio, and telegraph all help people communicate with each other

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:

Telephone, television, radio, and telegraph all help people communicate with each other. Because of these devices, ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, within seconds, people can know the results of an　election in another country. An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a television set.News of a disaster such as an earthquake or a　flood can bring help from distant countries within hours, help is on the way. Because of modern technology like the satellites that travel around the world, information travels fast.

How has this speed of communication changed the world？ To many people,the world has become smaller. Of course this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller. It means that the world seems smaller. Two hundred years ago,communication between the continents took a long time. All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the ocean. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries,it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach America.This time difference influenced people's actions. For example, one battle, or fight, in the War of 1812 between England and the United States could have been avoided. A peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought. Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed.They would not have died if news had come in time.In the past,communication took much time than it does now.

There was a good reason why the world seemed so much larger than it does today.

31. News spreads fast because of____.

A.modern transportation B.new technology C.the change of the world D.a peace agreement 

32. According to this passage,____is very important to people in a disaster area.

A.fast communication B.modern technology C.latest news D.new ideas 

33. Which of the following statements is true？

A.The world now seems smaller because of faster communication.

B.The world is actually smaller today.

C.The world is changing its size.

D. The distance between England and America has changed since the War of 1812 

34. Two hundred years ago,news between the continents was carried____.

A.by telephone and telegraph B.by land C.by air D.by sea 

35. The New Orleans Battle could have been avoided if the peace agreement had been signed____.

A.by both sides B.in time C.in America D.in England 

第二节 短文理解1

阅读下面短文，从[A](Right)、[B](Wrong)、[C](Doesn't Say)三个判断中选择一个正确选项。

wenty years ago people had one telephone in the house or in the office. Today, people have telephones at home, in cars, in offices, almost everywhere. You can even see people talking into cell phones(手机) on the streets. Once I asked a newspaper reporter for his telephone number. He answered, "Which number do you want？ Home number, work number, weekend number, or car number？"

Now there are even answering machines, but it seems that nobody likes them. For callers there is the problem of how to talk to them because it is very difficult to have a conversation with a ma- chine. For owners of answering machines, there are problems, too. What kind of message(信息) should be recorded(录音) for the caller？ If the message is too short, like "This is an answering machine. Speak now", the caller may not have enough time to get ready. Others may be too long. One long message goes like this: "This is Nathan's answering machine. Please leave your name, telephone number, what you are like, name of your school or work place and your mother's first name. Speak now. "Probably, people will never call Nathan again.

Telephones develop very slowly.

A．Right

B．Wrong

C．Doesn't Say

第三节 短文理解2

阅读下列短文，从[A]、[B]、[C]三个选项中选择一个正确答案。

Computers are very important to modem (现代的) life. Many people think that in the future computers will be used in lots of everyday life. It is thought that we won't have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold in the shops on the Interact. There will be no more books because we will be able to get all texts from computers. The Internet will be used to play games, see films and buy food. Most telephone calls will be made by computers.

Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and communication (交流). Others do not think that computers will replace (取代) our old ways.

Let's look at books, for example. Some people think that one day we will not read books made of paper. In- stead, we will buy and read books using computers. We will read texts on small pocket computers. The computers will keep many different books in them at the same time. We won't need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved. Computerized (计算机化的) books will be used more and more.

Is Internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shop？ Many people say it is not. It is a pleasure to go into shops and look at things you want to buy. Also probably people won't like to read large texts on our computers, because paper books seem to be more friendly. Maybe computers won't change these two habits (习惯).

In the first paragraph it is thought people will use computers to ______.

A．play games, see films and have meals

B．play games, go shopping and make telephone calls

C．see films, buy food and see the doctor

Whatdowemeanbyasatisfactorystandardofliving？Obviously,itmustincludethebasicnecessities

What do we mean by a satisfactory standard of living？ Obviously, it must include the basic necessities of life such as food，clothing and shelter. To get these necessities on regular basis， a person must have a reliable income. But we have other needs which would probably also be included as basic, such as health and education facilities.

We may think of all of these as our needs. Yet most of us would be far from satisfied if we had nothing more than these which are supplied for us. (78) We all enjoy extra income to spend on things like books，sports or hobbies. Sometimes we save some of this extra income to pay for future expense of this type on holidays. So we must add our wants to our basic needs. Our standard of living is the degree，to which these needs and wants are satisfied.

But as time goes on, what we think of as our basic needs changes. Twenty years ago a television would have been a luxury, and still is in many countries now. Even now we cannot say it is a need in the same sense as food, clothing and shelter. Yet if most of the people of a country have one, it comes to be accepted as a need. It is possible therefore to have food, clothing and shelter and still be poor by the standards of our own society.

What we need in life is divided into _____according to this article.

A.the basic necessities and luxury

B.many kinds of need such as food, clothing and houses

C.four groups the basic necessities, luxury, reliable income and future expense

D.the basic necessities and reliable income
