A

Two British men and their young sons were killed when their light aircraft crashed and burst into flames in the US. It occurred last night. Pilot Garry Megson, 38，died with his eight-year-old son Peter, family friend Stephen Aspden, 45, and his 12-year-old son, Jack. Police said Mr. Megson was attempting a tricky maneuver, called a touch-and-go landing, when the accident happened in the rented single-engine Piper Warrior. The move involves touching the wheels down on the landing strip before immediately taking off again. The aircraft failed to regain height and veered off the runway. It hit several ears and a hangar(飞机库房)before bursting into flames in Pennsylvania on Sunday. Mr. Megson who has 20 years' flying experience, moved to the US 11 months ago with his wife and son to work as a manager with drugs giant AstraZeneca. Secondary school teacher Mr. Aspden, 45, was on holiday, visiting with his family. His wife and ten year old daughter have since returned to Manchester, where they live. Christine Troy, a neighbour of Mr. Megson said it was “just so sad” the crash happened. She added: "He was the greatest guy. His son was just wonderful. "

56. This passage is probably taken from __________.

A. a magazine       B. a newspaper      C. a book          D. an advertisement

57. What's the best title of the passage?

A. Four killed in plane crash              B. A plane burst into flames

C. A touch-and-go landing.               D. Four murdered in Pennsylvania

58. How did the crash happen?

A. The plane burst in the air.

B. The plane burst into flames on the runway.

C. The plane touched the wheels down on the landing strip.

D. The plane hit some ears and a hangar and burst into flames.

The other day, my friend Jane was invited to a 40th birthday party. The time printed on the invitation was 7:30pm. Jane went off with her husband, expecting a merry evening of wine, food, and song.

By 9:45, everybody was having great fun, but no food had appeared. Jane and David were restless. Other guests began whispering that they, too, were starving. But no one wanted to leave, just in case some food was about to appear. By 11:00, there was still no food, and everyone was completely off their heads. Jane and David left hungry and angry.

Their experience suggests that the words on the printed invitations need to be made clearer. Everyone reads and understands the invitations differently. Most of us would agree that 6:30 -8:30pm means drinks only, go out to dinner afterwards; 8:00pm or 8:30pm means possible dinner, but 9：30pm and any time thereafter means no food, oat beforehand, roll up late.

But this is not always the case. If asked to a students' party at 6:30pm, it is normal for guests not to appear before midnight, if at all, and no one cares. Being the first to arrive - looking eager - is social death. When my mother is asked to a party for 6:30, she likes to be there, if not on time, then no later than seven. My age group (late thirties) falls somewhere between the two, but because we still think we're young, we're probably closer to student-time than grown-up time.

The accepted custom at present is confusing(混乱的), sometimes annoying, and it often means you may go home hungry, but it does lead every party that precious element(成分)of surprise.

59. Jane and David' s story is used to show that______ .

A. party-goers usually get hungry at parties    B. party invitations can be confusing

C. people should ask for food at parties   D. birthday parties for middle-aged people are dull

60. For some young people, arriving on time for a students' party will probably be considered_______.

A. very difficult   B. particularly thoughtful

C. friendly and polite       D. socially unacceptable

61. According to the writer, people in their late thirties_______.

A. are likely to arrive late for a party        B. care little about the party time

C. haven’t really grown up yet             D. like surprises at parties

62. What is the general idea of the text?

A. It’s safe to arrive late just when food is served.

B. It’s wise to eat something before going to a party.

C. It’s important to follow social rules of party-going.

D. It’s necessary to read invitations carefully.

C

Notting Hill Carnival (狂欢节)organizers are celebrating a bumper year, with crowds up and crime down by almost a third.

More than 1 million people who were having fun singing, dancing and so on in a noisy way were at the two day event in West London but there were only 64 arrests, compared with 94 last year.

Most arrests were for drug, theft or public order offences, police said last night. The number of crimes stood at 85, compared with 115 last year.

It was the 40th anniversary of the colorful celebration of Caribbean culture, which has become Europe's best-known street festival.

Sporadic(零星的)showers failed to dampen the crowd's spirits. Attendance last year fell to about 600,000, mainly because of bad weather.

Calypso music played loudly from sound systems along the parade route as thousands of  whistle-blowing people followed glittering floats (灿烂夺目的花车). They were joined by dancers and drummers.

“The atmosphere is fantastic," said Chief lnsp Wayne Mawson. “Crime is low, reported crime is low, and people are still enjoying themselves.”

One man was arrested for the crime of attacking someone yesterday after another was treated for an arm injury in Powis Square. Officers carried out a stop and search operation at Mile End Tube Station after reports that 60 youths planned to disrupt (使混乱) the event. There were eight arrests for possession of knives and body armour.

Security at the carnival has been high since two people were killed and several attacked violently in 2000 and a man suffered knife wounds to his forehead in 2001.

63. The best title for this passage may probably be _______.

A. Crowds up and crime down             B. Carnival crowds up and crime down

C. Carnival Celebration                   D. Security at the Carnival

64. The underlined part in paragraph 5 means ______.

A. make people feel less happy or enthusiastic

B. make people feel happy or enthusiastic

C. excite the people at the carnival

D. disappoint the people at the carnival

65. The last paragraph suggests that ______.

A. security at the carnival has been strengthened

B. two people were killed and several attacked violently

C. one man suffered knife wounds

D. there are more crimes in 2001 than in 2000

D

Mini Computer Capitalists

Impressed by the persuasive technical advice which Trent Eisenberg gave online computer powerhouse Compaq approached him about a job at the company's headquarters in Houston.  But Compaq was forced to withdraw(收回)the offer when an important detail about Eisenherg was discovered: he was just 14. Two years later, Eisenberg now runs his own technical support company, F1 Computer, “I might be interested in getting a job in a few years, after college,” he says. “But this is just right for me now.”

Eisenberg is among an increasing number of teenagers who are running their own computer-related businesses--and, for the most part, being successful at it. "Many kids in suburban homes have grown up operating very powerful computers, so technology is second nature to them in a way that it's not to many adults," says Gene Depose, president of a high tech research firm based in New York.

Danny Kalmick, the 14-year-old president of Kalmick & Co. Computing took his first step toward becoming a neighborhood computer expert at age 11, when he broke down his first PC (a 486/DX2) to inspect its motherboard (主板). When neighbors called him for computer advice a year later, Kalmick saw a business opportunity. So he printed up business cards, and took out an ad in a neighborhood telephone book. He now has about 10 regular clients, works 6 to 10 hours a week, and earns $ 20 an hour solving tech problems.

Low prices are usually an advantage in the marketplace, but so is age. Many young business people argue: Kids aren't as frightening to work with as their more senior adults. “We're professional, of course, but we are just kids, and people feel like they can talk with us and ask us whatever they want without being embarrassed,” says Charles Ross, 18, vice president of a Web services company that develops marketing sites for local businesses. Ross runs the firm with his twin brother, James, and their friend Matthew Baylis, 17. “Beside, a lot of our clients tell us that they would rather work with us because we've grown up with the technology and have a solid handle on it.”

66. The title of the passage “Mini Computer Capitalists" refers to ______.

A. young computer business people    B. new kinds of computer companies

C. expensive, high-tech inventions     D. very small high-speed computers

67. Eisenberg couldn’t work for the Compaq computer company because ______.

A. Compaq didn't want to hire him          B. he wanted a very high salary

C. they thought he was too young for the job  D. he didn't have enough experience

68. Most teenagers mentioned in the passage who run their own computer business are _____.

A. famous       B. successful      C. unsuccessful     D. inexperienced

69. The underlined phrase "have a solid handle on it" probably means______.

A. are full of energy                 B. are familiar with computer technology

C. understand it well and can do it well  D. are experts and very wealthy

70. The last paragraph mainly talks about _____.

A. low prices are an advantage in the marketplace

B. young age is an advantage in the marketplace

C. people don't feel embarrassed when they consult teenagers

D. teenagers grow up with computer technology

Since the beginning of human evolution, men have migrated(迁移)across continents in search of food, shelter, safety, and comfortable weather. People still move for these reasons, but new reasons for human migration are arising, such as job relocation(重新安置) and overpopulation.

Three million migrants are moving from poor countries to wealthier ones each year, and increasingly, their destination is a neighboring country in developing parts of the world. People are moving within the developing world for the same reasons as they migrate to wealthier nations. People from poor countries are going to less poor countries, fleeing wars and conflicts. They are also responding to population pressures because some countries are densely populated, and they often have high population growth. Those people need to go somewhere else.

There are three main reasons why people move. The basic categories and percentages are as follows, according to the Current Population Surveys (CPS).

Family-related reasons account for 26.3%, including changes in marital(婚姻的) status, establishing a household and other family reasons; work-related reasons 16.2%, including job transfer, retirement, and other job-related reasons; housing-related reasons 51.6%, including new and better houses, better neighborhood, cheaper housing and other housing reasons; the remaining 5.9% of other reasons are attending college, the change of climate and health reasons.

Americans have been migrating south and west for decades in search of better job opportunities and warmer climates. They have also been moving to places a little far from cities, in search of bigger yards and houses, lower crime rates and better schools. In 1950, nearly a fifth of the population lived in the nation’s 20 largest cities. In 2006, it was about one in ten. That’s why many American people say, “Big Cities Shrink as People Move South, West.”

Between March 2005 and March 2007, 73.4 million Americans moved. Fifty-six percent of these moves were within the same country. Twenty percent were between counties but in the same state. Nineteen percent were moves to a different state. Some families even went abroad.

Lead-in Throughout human history, people have migrated across  71 .

An  72  number of people from poor countries are moving to   73    countries, especially neighboring ones.

74  for people’s migration According to the CPS,  75  of the people move to other places for reasons   76  to housing.

Americans have long been moving south and west,  looking  77   a better job chance, a warmer   78  and a bigger yard, etc.

79  Now every year more and more people move to other places, which seems to have become a global  80  .
