7、ently二、第 2 部分：阅读判断(总题数：1，分数：7.00)Computer MouseThe basic computer mouse is an amazingly clever invention with a relatively simple design that allows US to point at things on the computer and it is very productive. Think of all the things you can do with a mouse like selecting text for copying and pa
8、sting, drawing, and even scrolling on the page with the newer mice with the wheel. Most of us use the computer mouse daily without stopping to think how it works until it gets dirty and we have to learn how to clean it. we learn to point at things before we learn to speak, So the mouse is a very nat
9、ural pointing device. Other computer pointing devices include light pens, graphics tablets and touch screens, but the mouse isstill our workhorse. The computer mouse was invented in 1964 by Douglas Englehart of Stanford University. As computer screens became more popular and arrow keys were used to
10、move around a body of text, it became clear that a pointing device that allowed easier motion through the text and even selection of text would be very useful. The introduction of the mouse, with the Apple Lisa computer in 1983, really started the computer public on the road to relying on the mouse
11、for routine computer tasks. How does the mouse work? we have to start at the bottom, so think upside down for now. It all starts with the mouse ball. As me mouse ball in the bottom of the mouse rolls over the mouse pad, it presses against and turns two shafts. The shafts are connected to wheels with
12、 several small holes in them. The wheels have a pair of small electronic light-emitting devices called light-emitting diodes(LED) mounted on either side. One LED sends a light beam to the LED on the other side. As the wheels spin and a hole rotates by, the light beam gets through to the LED on the o
13、ther side. But a moment later the light beam is blocked until the next hole is in place. The LED detect a changing pattern of fight, converts the pattern into an electronic signal, and sends the signal to the computer through wires in a cable that goes out of the mouse body. This cable is the tail t
14、hat helps give the mouse its name. The computer interprets the signal to tell it where to position the Cursor on the computer screen. So far we have only discussed the basic computer mouse that most of you probably have or have used. One problem with this design is that the mouse gets dirty as the b
15、all rolls over the surface and picks up dirt, Eventually you have to clean your mouse. The newer optical mice avoid this problem by having no moving parts.（分数：7.00）(1).Most computer users want to know how the computer mouse works.（分数：1.00）A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned(2).According to the author, gen
16、eral computer users need not to know how the computer mouse was invented.（分数：1.00）A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned(3).The computer mouse derives its name from the cable that goes out its body, which looks like the tail Of a mouse.（分数：1.00）A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned(4).The key components of a compute
17、r mouse are the two LEDs.（分数：1.00）A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned(5).When an ordinary computer mouse gets dirty, it has to be replaced with a new one.（分数：1.00）A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned(6).The most durable computer mice on sale are the IBM ones.（分数：1.00）A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned(7).The optical
18、mouse is superior to the basic one in that the former has no voving parts.（分数：1.00）A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned三、第 3 部分：概括大意与完成句子(总题数：1，分数：8.00)Big Railway DreamsImagine, one day, getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in only a couple of hours, and then, after a full da
19、y of work, going back home to Beijing and having dinner there. It sounds unusual, doesn“t it? But it“s not that unrealistic, with the development of China“s high-speed railway system. And that“s not all. China has an even greater high-speed railway planto connect the country with Southeast Asia, and
20、 eventually Eastern Europe. China is negotiating to extend its own high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years, eventually reaching London and Singapore. China has proposed three such projects. The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore via Vietnam and Malaysia. A
21、nother could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and possibly to Germany. The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe. If China“s plan for the high-speed railway goes forward, people could zip over from London to Beijing in un
22、der two days. The new system would still follow China“s high-speed railway standard. And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour, almost as fast as some airplanes. China“s bullet train (高速客车), the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou, already has the world“s fastest average speed. It cove
23、rs 1,069 kilometers in about three hours. Of course, there are some technical challenges to overcome. There are so many issues that need to be settled, such as safety, rail gauge (轨距), maintenance of railway tracks. So, it“s important to pay attention to every detail. But the key issue is really mon
24、ey. China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on domestic railway expansion. It will be a win-win project. For other countries, the railway network will definitely create more opportunities for business, tourism and so on, not to mention the better communication among those countries. F
25、or China, such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources, but would also help develop China“s far west. We foresee that in the coming decades, millions of people will migrate to the western regions, where the land is empty and resources unused. Wi
26、th high-speed trains, people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for all. And they“ll trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries.（分数：8.00）(1).Paragraph 3 1. A. Some difficulties facing the new railway system B. Three projects proposed by China C. It will be a

30、ionals. In the past, these journals were available only in print. With the development of electronic publishing, many medical journals now have Web sites on the Internet, and some journals publish only online. A few medical journals, like the Journal of the American Medical Association, are consider
31、ed general medical journals because they cover many fields of medicine. Most medical journals are specialty journals that focus on a particular area of medicine. Medical journals publish many types of articles. Research articles report the results of research studies on a range of topics varying fro
32、m the basic mechanisms of diseases to clinical trials that compare outcomes of different treatments. Review articles summarize and analyze the information available on a specific topic based on a careful search of the medical literature. Because the results of individual research studies can be affe
33、cted by many factors, combining results from different studies on the same topic can be helpful in reaching conclusions about the scientific evidence for preventing, diagnosing or treating a particular disease. Case conferences and case reports may be published in medical journals to educate physici
34、ans about particular illnesses and how to treat at them. Editorials in medical journals are short essays that express the views of the authors, often regarding a research or review article published in the same issue. Editorials provide perspective on how the current article fits with other informat
35、ion on the same topic. Letters to the editor provide a way for readers of the medical journal to express comments, questions or criticisms about articles published in that journal.（分数：15.00）(1).The main readers of medical journals are _.（分数：3.00）A.the general publicB.health professionalsC.medical cr

39、ugh a few clearly are. It“s a function of excess demand for higher education, occurring at a time of increased financial privatization of the industry. The recession has only increased demand. The vast majority of students aren“t going to college because of a thirst for knowledge, or even for the cu
40、ltural and social adventure they hope to have. They“re there because they need a job, and they need to get the credentialsand, one hopes, the knowledge and skills behind the credentialsthat will get them into the labor market. As higher education has become a seller“s market, the institutions in a p
41、osition to do so are doing what comes naturally: raising their tuitions and their admissions requirements, but at the expense of contributing to the national goal to increase college attainment. The result is that the United States is losing ground in the international race for educational talent, b
42、ecause although we have some of the best institutions in the world, the whole is less than the sum of its parts. The increasing stratification of higher education is happening on the spending side, as well. As the selective institutions have become more expensive and less attainable, the rest have h
43、ad to struggle with the responsibility to enroll more students without being paid to do so. Gaps between rich and poor have grown even more dramatically than gaps in entering test scores. While spending is a poor measure of educational quality, we can“t seriously expect to increase educational attai
44、nment if we“re not prepared to do something to address these growing inequities in funding. That said, the educational policy problem in our country is not that the elite institutions are becoming more selective. They are what they are, and they“re getting more like themselves all the time. The prob
45、lem is on the public policy side. The president and many governors have set a goal to return America to a position of international leadership in educational attainment. It“s the right goal, we just need a financing strategy to get there. That doesn“t mean just more money, although some more money w
46、ill be needed. It also means better attention to effectiveness and to efficiency, and to making sure that spending goes to the places that will make a difference in educational attainment. We know how to do it, if we want to.（分数：15.00）(1).The demand for higher education has increased because _.（分数：3
47、.00）A.of the rising college selectivityB.there is a boost in the labor marketC.the number of students keeps growingD.of the economic depression(2).According to most students, the most essential condition that enables them to get into the labor market is _.（分数：3.00）A.diplomasB.being employedC.knowled
48、ge and skillsD.going to college(3).Since higher education has become a seller“s market, the national goal to increase college attainment _.（分数：3.00）A.will draw more public concernB.will be difficult to achieveC.will be fulfilled in a short timeD.will demand more financial input(4).As it is mentioned
49、 in the fourth paragraph, gaps have grown dramatically between _.（分数：3.00）A.the talented students and the slow onesB.the rich families and the poor onesC.the selective institutions and the restD.the advanced countries and the others(5).What does the author think should be modified?（分数：3.00）A.The selectivity of elite institutions.B.The goal of education attainment.C.The industrialization of education.D.The government“s funding strategy.七、第三篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Picture-takingPicture-taking is a technique both for reflecting the objective world and for expressing
