Here is some information about making international phone calls.You

25、 can now phone almost any country in the world, although in some cases you can only call big cities. When you cannot make direct dialing calls, you can ask. the international operator to help you. This is more expensive and takes more time, but it may be helpful if you want to speak to a particular

26、person and no one else, in this case you should ask for a “person-to-person“ call. Even more expensive is a reverse charge call where the person who receives the call pays. If the international line is busy, you can reserve (留下) a call, explain the number you want and the operator will call you back

27、 when the line is free.You can save money by calling outside office hours, for example, early in the morning, late at night, and on Sundays. Remember that the time may be different in the country that you are calling. International time is based on GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). London is on GMT and Mos

28、cow, for example, is 3 hours ahead. There is one problem: change to DST (Daylight Saving Time) for the summer. In the UK, clocks are put forward one hour in spring and put back in autumn, and so London is actually one hour ahead of GMT in the gummer.（分数：4.00）(1).What is the most expensive type of ca

29、ll?（分数：1.00）A.Direct dial.B.Through the operator.C.Reverse charge call.D.Calling outside office hours.(2).What can you do if the international line is engaged?（分数：1.00）A.Ask the operator to call you back later.B.Make a “person-to-person“ call.C.Call back outside office hours.D.Wait and call again wh

30、en the line is free.(3).When is it cheaper to make an international call?（分数：1.00）A.l0 a.m.B.5 p.m.C.11 p.m.D.8 a.m.(4).If you want to use your Business Telecard International, you have to_.（分数：1.00）A.use a card phoneB.phone on SundayC.make a direct dialing callD.pay extraBB/BMost of the animals hav

31、e little connection with animals of a different kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership which is good for both of them. You may see some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they f

32、ind easy food in the parasites (寄生虫) on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they move the cause of discomfort. So although Uthey/U can live without each other, they do better together.Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners can- not liv

33、e without each other. This is so in the corals (珊瑚) of the sea. In their skins there are tiny plants which act as “dustmen“, taking some of the waste products from the corals and giving in re- turn oxygen (氧气) which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are even prevented from re

34、ceiving light so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die.（分数：4.00）(1).Some birds like to sit on a sheep because_.（分数：1.00）A.they can eat its parasitesB.they enjoy traveling with the sheepC.they depend on the sheep for existenceD.they find the position most comfortable(2).The underlined w

35、ord “they“ in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to_.（分数：1.00）A.birds and parasitesB.birds and sheepC.parasites and sheepD.sheep, birds and parasites(3).We learn from the text that corals depend on plants for_.（分数：1.00）A.comfortB.lightC.foodD.oxygen(4).What does the second paragraph mai

36、nly discuss?（分数：1.00）A.Some animals and plants depend on each other for existence.B.Some animals and plants develop their relationship easily.C.Some plants depend on each other for food.D.Some animals live better together.BC/BComputer people talk lots about the need for other people to become “compu

37、ter literate “. But not all experts think it a good idea.One pioneer, in particular, who disagrees, is David Debut, the founder of Computer town UK. Though many people see this as a successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer, David does not see it that way. He says that Computer town

38、UK was formed for just the opposite reason, to bring computers to people and make them “people literate“.David Debut thinks Computer towns are most successful when tied to a computer club but he thinks there is an important difference between the two. The clubs are for people who have some computer

39、knowledge already. This frightens away non-experts, who want to go to Computer towns where there are computers for them to operate, with experts to encourage them and answer any questions they ask. They are not told what to do, they find out. The computer experts have to learn not to tell people abo

40、ut computers, but have to be able to answer all questions people ask. People neednt learn computer terms (术语). But the experts have to explain in plain language. The computers are becoming “people literate“.（分数：4.00）(1).Which of the following is David Debuts idea on the relationship between people a

41、nd computers? A Computer learning should be made easier. B There should be more computer clubs for experts. c People should work harder to master computer use. D Computers should be made cheaper so that people can afford them.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).We can infer from the text that “computer literate“ m

42、eans_.（分数：1.00）A.being able to afford a computerB.being able to write computer programsC.working with the computer and finding out its valueD.understanding the computer and knowing how to use it(3).The underlined word “it“ in the second paragraph refers to the idea that Computer town_.（分数：1.00）A.hel

43、ps to set up more computer clubsB.brings people to learn to use computersC.brings more experts to work togetherD.helps to sell computers to the public(4).David Debut started Computer town UK with the purpose of_.（分数：1.00）A.making better use of computer expertsB.improving computer programsC.increasin

44、g computers salesD.popularizing computersBD/BDavid Beckham was born in 1975 in London, at a place called Leytonstone. When he was a young boy, his greatest Ufervency/U was in football. He played it whenever he had the chance. Sometimes he would go and watch a game with his friends. When David Beckha

45、m was 12 years old, he won the Bobby Charlton Soccer Skills award. This was an important step forward for this young boy, and it led him to go for a visit to a football training camp in Spain. As a boy he played for schools of Essex and also for his county team.In 1991, he became a trainee with Manc

46、hester United. This meant that he could practice foot- ball as much as he wanted to and play for the highly successful Manchester United Youth Cup team and Under-21 team. In April, 1995 he played his first football league game against Leeds Untied. During 1995 and 1996, David became a regular member

47、 of the team and Manchester United won in both football seasons, with David scoring many goals.His goals made him a household name. In the first game of the 19961997 season, he scored a surprising goal from beyond the halfway line; seeing the goalkeeper a little way out of his goal, Beckham became f

48、amous overnight. He continued to score astonishing goals, especially from free kicks. The speed of one of his shots was timed at 157 kph. He also had the ability to make the ball go from left to right, or right to left, whenever he chose. Goalkeepers were never sure where the ball was going, and it regularly ended up in the goal.（分数：4.00）(
