The survey, of citizens of five Chinese cities, found that 79 percent of interviewees use the internet for information, and 55.1 percent to read news on the internet. About 63 percent of the interviewees use e-mail. The average times spent surfing the net and watching TV were 2.73 hours and 1.29hours, respectively.Only 10.4 percent reported use the internet primarily (首要地) to send and receive email; 65.9 percent read online news; 62.2 quite often play games on-line. More and more people have taken an interest in the entertainment opportunities online. Up to 56.5 percent of interviewees quite often download music, and 53.5 percent get entertainment messages from the internet.Yet the survey found that television is still the dominant mass medium. Seventy-nine percent of interviewees choose to watch TV to get information, and another 75 percent take newspapers as important as TV.Five major web sites in the Chinese language, namely Sina, Sohu, Netease, Baidu and Yahoo are still ranked top ones by web users. Sina was voted as the best among them.Authorized statistics showed that web users in China have already exceeded 100 million, second to that of the United States.41.

Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man can not see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of greena strange world indeed.Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods” but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape but no color.Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes like blue but do not like yellow. A red light will not draw insects attention, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around.46. This passage is mainly about _. A. color and its surprising effectsB. women being luckier than men C. danger caused by color blindness D. color blindness 47.Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women? A. Women are more careful. B. There are fewer color-blind women than men. C. Women are fonder of driving than men. D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking 48. According to the passage, which description about color blindness of a man is true？A. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and red.B. In most cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of greenC. In some cases, he may not distinguish green from blue.D. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of orange.49.According to the passage, with the help of the“cones”, we can _. A.tell different colors B.see in weak light C.kill mosquitoes D.tell different shapes50.We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a _. A.red light B.yellow light C.blue light D.green light CIts not easy to tell the differences between “good” and “bad” paintings; however, some pigeons (鸽子) can do it. An experiment by Shigeru Watanabe showed that the pigeons could discriminate childrens “good” and “bad” paintings. How were the pigeons able to do that? In the first test, Watanabe asked people to divide childrens paintings into “good” and “bad” sets. The pigeons then were taught that pecking (啄) at the “good” set of pictures would receive a grain reward, whereas pecking at the “bad” set of pictures would not do so. After a short-term training, all of the pigeons learned to respond most of the time to “good” paintings and not to “bad” paintings. How did the pigeons do it? One possible way is to simply memorize most or all of the pictures in each set, paying little attention to the categories themselves. To test this, Watanabe did another test, in which new and similarly divided paintings were shown to the pigeons that they had never seen before. All of the pigeons were able to peck at the new “good” pictures and to avoid pecking at the new “bad” pictures. So, simple memorization is probably not the main method the pigeons used to complete this test. To examine other possibilities, Watanabe did more tests. When the pictures were reduced in size, the pigeons were able to judge well. However, when the pictures were shown in grey scale (灰度等级), the pigeons judged quite poorly. In a third test, Watanabe presented some pictures, with the color patterns preserved, but with the shape information destroyed; now, the pigeons could only judge slightly changed pictures. Therefore, it seems that color information and shape information were essential for the pigeons dividing the pictures into categories, despite the fact that the pictures themselves contained no obvious grouping of colors or shapes. 51. The underlined word “discriminate” in Paragraph 1 probably means “ ”.A. get some things together B. find the characteristicsC. recognize the differences D. memorize the details52. How were the pigeons trained to respond to childrens paintings?A. By repeating the instructions.B. By copying human behavior.C. By memorizing the pictures.D. By receiving some rewards.53. Which of the following is the right order of the test process?a. Teach the pigeons to respond to “good” paintings and not to “bad” paintings.b. Divide new paintings into two groups and show them to the pigeons. c. Use different pictures for several times to test the pigeons. d. Divide childrens paintings into two groups: good and bad.A. a, b, c, d. B. d, a, b, c.C. a, c, b, d. D. b, d, a, c.54. What can influence the pigeons when they judge pictures? A. colour and size B. size C.shape D. colour and shape55. It can be concluded from the tests that the pigeons .A. have a good memoryB. can combine some information to judge the paintingsC. have good abilities to separate different picturesD. can be trained to become cleverer第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从下框A-F选项中选出能概括每段主题的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余项。A. Review regularlyB. Make good use of class time C. Find a good place to study D. Plan your time carefully E. Scan before you read F. Take notes in classHow to become a better student? Maybe you are an average student with an average intellect. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to be. The following suggestions may be helpful to you.56. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. Be sure to set aside enough time to complete the work that you are normally assigned each week. Of course, studying shouldnt occupy all of your free time. Dont forget to set aside enough time for entertainment, hobbies and relaxation.57. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything, but study materials. No radio or television. When you sit to work, concentrate/focus on the subject. 58. This means looking a passage over quickly but thoroughly before you begin to read it more carefully. Scanning a passage lets you preview the material and get a general idea of the content. Scanning will help you double your reading speed and improve your comprehension.59. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says. Real listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says. 60. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher mentions and you will remember them longer. Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. Tests do more than just provide grades; they let you know what you need to study more, and they help to make your new knowledge permanent.第三部分：写作（满分55分）第一节：单词拼写（每小题1分）根据下列句子及所给汉语提示，在横线上写出单词的正确形式。（每空只写一词）61.
