The dog continued to look up at Sue, as if waiting to be fed.“Thats a nice dog, isnt he?” Jack said, pointing at the animal.“Yes, he is. Hes handsome. Hes a bit of a mixture，but thats not a bad thing. Hes strong and healthy.” “And hungry,” Jack said, “He hasnt taken his eyes off you. He thinks youve got some food for him.” “Thats true,” Sue said, “But I havent.” They both laughed and then Jack said. “Does your dog bite?” “No,” Sue said, “Hes never bitten anyone. Hes always gentle and friendly.” Hearing this, Jack decided to hold out his hand and touched the animals head.

But recently a Britains Got Talent（英国达人）star Susan Boyle has changed our views absolutely(绝对地).Simon Cowell, one of the judges of the talent show spoke of his shock over Ms Boyles voice. “This lady camp up, and Im thinking, This will take five seconds and I can go to have a cup of tea. That changed when she began to sing I Dreamed to Dream from Les Miserables. She knew we were going to have that reaction(反应) and just to see that look of satisfaction on her face midway through it was one of my favorite moments,” Cowell said. The performance was posted on line and before long, the 47-year-old Scottish woman has been famous all over the world.Speaking from her home in Scotland, Ms Boyle said that she hasnt thought of changing her appearance. She said that her friend helped her with make-up. “I mean, thats hardly a makeover,” she added.Ms Boyle also spoke of the reason she first began to explore her vocal talents, “I was kind of slow at school, so getting like singing was a good way of hiding behind that and thus it built my confidence.”29.

Despite(不管) the distance the Islands actually make up the fiftieth state of the United States. The Islands were all formed by volcano eruption(火山爆发)and on the largest of the islands, Hawaii, or the Big Island, there are still two active volcanoes, the Mauna Loa and the Kilauea, which still erupt every few years. On the Hawaiian islands the natives have a particularly strange way of indicating(指明) directions. They dont use the north, south, east and west system common to the rest of the world. They use the mauka and makai system. Mauka means mountain. The mountains in Hawaii are always at the center of the islands, as these are volcanic islands. Makai means the sea. The islands are small and the system is simple. Wherever you want to visit, it can always be described in terms of where it lies in relation to the mountains and the sea. A typical conversation(谈话) between a native Hawaiian and a visitor might go as follows. VISITOR： Excuse me! Could you tell me where the Sheraton Hotel is?HAWAIIAN: Well . Let me see! From here its two blocks mauka, and then one block makai. You cant miss it!33. This article would be most likely to appear in which of the following? A. A novel.B. A collection of stories.C. A travel book.D. A womens magazine.34. Which is the most suitable title for the article?A. The Big Island.B. Giving Directions in Hawaii.C. Volcanoes.D. The Hawaiian Islands.35. In Hawaii the mountains are in the center of the islands because_. A. of the weatherB. thats where they originally areC. the islands were created by volcanic eruptionsD. of the islands location in the pacific36. To find your way in Hawaii, you must _.A. refer to geographical directionsB. refer to well - known establishmentsC. refer to the location of the mountains and the seaD. refer to the earth and the seaDTo what degree can a computer achieve intelligence(智力)? The answer to this question may lie in a newly-developed US computer program called Smarter Child on the Internet.If you ran into Smarter Child online, you would be surprised at this kids huge memory. It can recite many facts. For example, Smarter Child knows every baseball player in every team this season.He knows every word in the dictionary and the weather in every major city area across the US. However, if you ask Smarter Child other questions, you get strange answers. A question about Smarter Childs age returns. “One year, 11 days, 16 hours, 7 minutes, and 47 seconds!” Asking where he lives gets, “In a clean room in a high-tech building in California.”Smarter Child uses the vast(大量的) information on the World Wide Web as his memory bank. To answer questions about spelling, for example, Smarter Child goes to American Heritage Dictionary online. For the weather, he visits www. intellicast. com.Some scientists believe that by joining the many systems of the Internet, an artificial(人造的) being with the combined knowledge of, say, Albert Einstein, Richard Nixon and Britney Spears could be born. However, if Smarter Child wants to think and learn on his own like the boy-computer David in the movie A. I. (Artificial Intelligence), he must overcome two problems.The first is that computers find it difficult to read web pages because the files are labeled（分类） in different ways. Thats why programmers need to tell Smarter Child where to look for the weather. It would be a much more difficult task to let him find it himself.The other problem is that while Smarter Child can process information more exactly and faster than any human, he lacks common sense(缺乏常识)a basic grounding of knowledge that is obvious to any young child.37. From the text we can know that is a website _.A. which is specially designed to help Smarter ChildB. where we people can find Smarter ChildC. where weather forecasts are madeD. which is about artificial intelligence38. It is probably most difficult for Smarter Child to _.A. tell us how to spell a difficult wordB. tell us how the American government is runC. provide us with a famous poem by ShakespeareD. learn the ability to tell right behaviours from wrong ones39. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. Smart Child has his own memory bank big enough for all kinds of information.B. A.I.(Artificial Intelligence) is probably the name of a film about a boy-computer.C. Smart Child can recognize different files and find information needed on his own.D. We have a similar product now which has the knowledge of Einstein, Nixon and Spears.40. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Smarter ChildB. A New Web ChildC. The Future of InternetD. Intelligence Development第卷（主观题，共45分）四、单词拼写。(本大题共10分，每小题1分)（A）根据句意，用括号内所给词的适当形式填空。1. Marie Curie received the Nobel Prize _ (two) during her life time.2.
