題目列表(包括答案和解析)
Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man, when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?
Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paperbooks (平裝本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.
Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia (百科全書), though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such books as history books, science textbooks, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.

Satellites are an important part of our ordinary lives. For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite. Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of the Earth to show how clouds are moving. Satellites are also used to connect our international phone calls.
Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV programs come to US through satellites. Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location.
We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another. They are usually 35，880 kilometers above the equator. Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place. This is because it is moving around the world at 11，000 kilometers an hour—exactly the same speed that the earth rotates. A satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae facing the earth. Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit，So there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position. This usually happens about every five or six days.
Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the Earth. A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years. Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired. Often，very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long time. This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other.
51.Which of the following is NOT done by satellites according to the passage?
A. Sending information for weather forecast. B. Taking photographs of the Earth.
C. Sending TV pictures. D. Providing food for airplane pilots.
52.What’s the speed the earth rotates at?
A.35,880 kilometers per hour. B.335,880 kilometers per hour.
C.11,000 kilometers per hour. D.110,000 kilometers per hour
53.Why does the satellite move around the world at the same speed as the Earth rotates?
A. In order to take photographs. B. In order to stay in a certain position in the orbit.
C. In order to move away from its orbit. D. In order to send television pictures.
54.What does the underlined word “This” in the 3rd paragraph refer to?
A. A satellite. B.A little rocket.
C. A satellite seems to stay in the same place in the sky.
D. The satellite puts the rockets in the right position.
55.Which is true of satellites?
A.A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years.
B. Every time a satellite gets broken, it is brought back to the Earth to be repaired.
C.A broken satellite is never left in space.
D. They often crash into each other.
More and more advertisements appear on the Web. You have to be careful not to be fooled or tricked(欺騙) by the advertisements on the Internet. Something is said to be a bargain, but it isn’t always cheap. And some so-called new things just have a new outside.
However, shopping online is a kind of fashionable thing today. I love to buy things for everyday use, so I often get lots of information about them on websites online.

And at the same time, you don’t have to go to a shop or walk around a crowded shopping area, so you don’t have to waste much time. The Internet is really useful for shopping, but be careful not to spend too much.
