Man has a big brain. He can think, learn and speak. Scientists thought that men are different from animals because they can think and learn. They know now that dogs, cats and birds can learn too. They are beginning to understand that. They make noises when they are afraid, or angry or unhappy. Apes(猿) can understand some things more quickly than human, one or two of them have learnt a few words. But they can not join words to make sentences. They can not think like us because they have no language. Language is a wonderful thing. Man has been able to build a modern world because he has language. Every child can speak his own language very well when he is four or five, —but no animal learns to speak. How do children learn it ? Scientists do not really know.

Cyberspace,data superhighway,multimedia,for those who have seen the future,and the linking of computers,televisions and telephones will change our lives for ever.Yet for all the talks of a forthcoming technological utopia,little attention has been given to the implications of these developments for the poor.As for all the new high technology,the West concerns itself with the “how”,while the question of “for whom” is put aside once again.
Economists are only now realizing the full extent to which the communication revolution has affected the world economy.Information technology allows the extension of trade across geographical and industrial boundaries,and transnational corporations take full advantage of it.Terms of trade and exchange,interest rates and money movements are more important than the production of goods.The electronic economy made by information technology allows the haves to increase their control on global markets — with a destructive impact on the have­nots.
For them the result is unstable.Developing countries which rely on the production of a small range of goods for export are made to feel like small parts in the international economic machine.As “futures” are traded on computer screens,developing countries simply have less and less control of their destinies.
So what are the options of regaining control?One alternative for developing countries is to buy in the latest computers and telecommunications.Yet this leads to long-term dependency and perhaps permanent constraints on developing countries’ economies.
Communication technology is generally exported from the US,Europe or Japan;the patents,skills and ability remain in the hands of a few industrialized countries.It is also expensive,therefore imported products and services must be bought on credit usually provided by the very countries whose companies stand to gain.
1. From the passage we know that the development of high technology is in the interests of________.
A.the rich countries                              B.scientific development
C.the local elites                                     D.the world economy
2.It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A.international trade should be expanded
B.the interests of the poor countries have not been given enough consideration
C.the exports of the poor countries should be increased
D.communication technology in developing countries should be modernized
3.Why does the author say that the electronic economy may have a destructive impact on developing countries?
A.Because it enables the developed countries to control the international market.
B.Because it destroys the economic balance of the poor countries.
C.Because it violates the national boundaries of the poor countries.
D.Because it inhibits the industrial growth of developing countries.
4.The development of modern communication technology in developing countries may________.
A.hinder their industrial production
B.cause them to lose control of their trade
C.force them to reduce their share of exports
D.cost them their economic independence
5.The author’s attitude towards the communication revolution is________.
A.positive                                             B.critical
C.indifferent                                        D.tolerant

Angus MacLeod was fifty and he had spent his entire life as a shepherd in the remote mountainous region of northwest Scotland. He had never owned a radio or television nor had he travelled further than forty kilometres from his birthplace. His knowledge of the world was gained only from his brief trips to the village to sell his sheep and buy food. However, he had lately come to rely on the growing number of hill-walkers in the region as sources of international news.
In the spring of 1992, a Spanish student came across Angus high in the mountains. Eager to practise his English he engaged Angus in conversation. The student told Angus of the forthcoming Olympic Games in Barcelona. Excited by the student's colourful description of Spain and the Games, Angus decided to attend the event in person and two months later arrived in Barcelona.
The ticketless Angus stood outside the stadium with his canny brain working overtime, watching a growing number of individuals entering the stadium through a small entrance at the side. He noticed that they all seemed to be carrying objects. Perhaps they were workmen, he thought. He moved closer and watched.
Within minutes a thin young man came along carrying an extremely long pole. He approached the official at the door and said "Pole Vault". The official moved to the side and the man entered. Next came a heavy-set man with a spear. Angus wondered how a man could carry such a dangerous weapon in a modern city. The man shouted " Javelin " and was presently admitted. Angus was puzzled. Perhaps they were all connected with security. His puzzlement grew when a huge man appeared with a steel ball in his hand. He shouted "Shot Putt" and walked past the official.
It suddenly dawned on Angus that these people were competitors. He opened his programme and sure enough under the heading "events" he saw the three words the men had said. Angus laughed to himself as a plan began to take shape in his mind. First he needed to buy one or two things.
An hour later he reappeared dressed in a tracksuit with "Scotland" written across the chest. Over his shoulder he carried a roll of barbed wire (铁丝网). Smiling to himself he walked up to the official and as casually as he could, shouted, "Fencing!"
46. Which was Angus' new way of getting information about the outside world?
A. Travelling from his birthplace.                   B. Listening to radio and watching TV.
C. Going to the nearby village to sell sheep.       D. Talking to hill-walkers in the region.
47. What are "Javelin" , "Pole Vault", "Shot Putt" and "Fencing" in the passage?
A. Olympic events.                     B. Names of competitors.
C. Security weapons.                   D. Names of countries.
48. From the passage we can learn that ______.
A. more and more people went to Scotland to practise their English
B. the Spanish student's description of his country excited Angus
C. Angus had been planning a trip to Barcelona to see the Olympic Games
D. Angus became a member of the Scottish Olympic team
49. From the passage we know that Angus seemed to be
A. poorly-informed             B. intelligent         C. strong-minded   D. athletic
50. What do you expect the official would do in the end?
A. Help him carry the wire.                B. Refuse to let him in.
C. Give him a close inspection.                  D. Lead him to the competition.

Early in the twentieth century, two famous scientists developed different ideas about dreams. Austrian psychiatrist Sigmund Freud published a book called The Interpretation of Dreams in 1900. Freud believed people often dream about things they want but cannot have. These dreams are often linked to sex and aggression.
For Freud, dreams were full of hidden meaning. He tried to understand dreams as a way to understand people and why they acted or thought in certain ways. Freud believed that every thought and every action started deep in our brains. He thought dreams could be an important way to understand what is happening in our brains.
Freud told people what their dreams meant as a way of helping them solve problems or understand their worries. For example, Freud said when people dream of flying or swinging, they want to be free of their childhood. When a person dreams that a brother or sister or parent has died, the dreamer is really hiding feelings of hatred for that person. Or a desire to have what the other person has.
Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung worked closely with Freud for several years. But he developed very different ideas about dreams. Jung believed dreams could help people grow and understand themselves. He believed dreams provide solutions to problems we face when we are awake.
He also believed dreams tell us something about ourselves and our relations with other people. He did not believe dreams hide our feelings about sex or aggression.
68.According to the passage, Sigmund Freud held that ________________.
A.dreams can help understand people’s action
B.when people dream that they fly in the sky, they are actually desire something
C.if a person dreams that a brother has died, he or she must hates the brother
D.if people want to better understand themselves, they will dream
69. What is Carl Jung’s opinion of dreams?
A. His dreams are different from those of Sigmund Freud.
B. Whenever we face problems, we can find solutions to them in our dreams.
C. Dreams help understand people’s thoughts.
D. Dreams at times show our relations with other people.
70. From the passage, we learn that ______________________.
A. The Interpretation of Dreams was written by Freud as well as Jung
B. Freud helped people solve problems by telling what their dreams meant
C. Freud and Jung always worked together
D. both of them told us clearly why we dream
The author seems to be ___________.
A. in favor of Freud             B. in favor of Jung    C. objective     D. critical

We convince ourselves that life will be better once we are married, have a baby, then another.Then we get frustrated because our children are not old enough and that all will be well when they are older.Then we are frustrated because they reach teenage years and we must deal with them.Surely we'll be happier when they grow out of the teen years.

Everyone knows the smart black-and-white dog that sits on top of a red doghouse with his best friend ---- a bird called Woodstock.
Created by the American cartoonist Charles Schulz in 1950, the clever dog is loved by generations of kids and adults. He speaks more than 20 languages and appears daily in 26,000 newspapers around the world.
When Snoopy first appeared, he was no different from other pet dogs. But two years later, he had begun to speak in thought bubbles with simple words and sounds. By 1957 he could walk on two legs and was going to school with his master, Charlie Brown, who fails at just about everything. Later he learned to use the typewriter.
Snoopy has done lots of jobs. He has been a bow-tie wearing lawyer, a tennis player, an Olympic figure skater, a world famous grocery checkout clerk, a pilot and even the first astronaut on the moon.
However, Snoopy has always dreamed of being a famous writer. The beginning of his story is always, “It was a dark and stormy night…” Unfortunately for him no one has ever wanted to publish the story.
In love, Snoopy is as much of a failure as Charlie Brown is at baseball. He easily falls in love but always has his heart broken. He eats to forget, but it never works.
Snoopy is an insightful(有洞察力的), feel-good and sometimes sad dog. If you think a little about his words, you might find them full of life lessons. Among his most famous lines are “To live is to dance, to dance is to live.” And “Yesterday I was a dog. Today I’m a dog. Tomorrow I’ll probably still be a dog. Sigh! There’s so little hope for advancement.”
60. From the passage, we can learn that ________.
A. Snoopy is always a sad dog
B. Snoopy can't speak in the beginning
C. Snoopy often dreams of true love       
D. Snoopy is a real smart pet dog
61. Snoopy has done all the following jobs EXCEPT ________.
A. a lawyer               B. a player                    C. a clerk                            D. a writer
62. It can be inferred that Snoopy ________.
A. has many bird friends and relatives             B. is a well-known writer and clerk
C. has been unfortunate since it was born        D. is very popular in the whole world
63. The underlined word “advancement” in the last paragraph probably means ________.
A. success                 B. progress                   C. growth                     D. popularity
