24、Computers are widely used in all phases of society. In industry, business, education, medicine, nearly all walks of life, computers have made their appearance, providing great speed and accuracy for our work. Computers have been used in the home, offices, laboratories and research institutions, functioning as the most efficient and versatile(通用的) instruments for calculating, sorting, filing, recording and distributing. Computers are indispensable(不可缺少的) to modern civilization. Without computers, our life and our society will undoubtedly suffer a big regression(复原).
During the past five decades the computer has been rapidly advanced. Laptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In some schools today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.
Westlake College in Virginia starts a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to “speak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees—anywhere at all.
Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.
At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, “Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we’re giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything.”
Do you know what computers will be like in the future? Nobody can tell what would be the life like after one hundred years or, at least the ordinary people like us can not do that. However, from level of development of today’s technology and science, one thing that everyone can be sure about is that life of future will definitely be much more convenient than the life of today.
【1】The underline phrase “five decades” in the second paragraph probably means ________.
A.five years
B.fifteen years
C.fifty years
D.a century
【2】At Westlake College, the main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to ________.
A.use for their schoolwork
B.access the Internet
C.work at home
D.connect them to libraries
【3】Why is the word “speak” in the third paragraph in quotation marks(引号)?
A.They don’t really talk.
B.They use the computer language.
C.Laptops have speakers.
D.None of the above reasons is correct.
【4】Which of the following is true about Westlake College?
A.All teachers use computers.
B.1500 students have laptops
C.It is an old college in America.
D.Students there can do everything.
【5】A window on the world in the fifth paragraph means that students can ________.
A.attend lectures on information technology

【6】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

C.The program is not workable but more interesting.
D.We don’t know the result yet but we are sure life of future will be much more convenient.
25、These days there are lots of possibilities to be always connected to family and friends. Now that I have just moved to France, this can be very convenient, I can ring my sister who lives in Los Angeles on Viber, or I can Skype my parents or friends back in England for a chat. However, sometimes the convenient of technology can be intrusive.
Even the most out-going people need some “down time/to calm down on their own and get relaxed. This is something that 1 consider necessary and healthy. After all, you have to live with yourself for the rest of your life, so you’d better know how to enjoy your own company. It can be a good thing to have time to yourself to collect your thoughts and free your feelings. Today 1 went for a walk by myself around the lake and just day-dreamed. It was so relaxing and enjoyable and helped me let go of my bad emotions.
However, somehow it seems rude or perhaps makes people feel that you're upset to say to people: “I'm going to go and spend some time by myself.” And often when we are spending time ‘alone’ , we are actually connected with a piece of electrical equipment. We try to make something into a Facebook or a Tweet to attract our friends, or we scroll(滚屏) through Facebook to nose into other people’s lives or see what friends are up to. We judge ourselves and other people by the photos they put online, so we can tell how much fun they are having compared to us. This is an age when we can get so much surface information about other people's lives, but being wrapped(包裹) up in what other people are doing or always thinking about other people’s recognition(认可) of us can be quite unhealthy. Perhaps these days forget about the simple pleasure of spending time just for us.
Having said all that, I also think that spending too much time by yourself can separate you from others. I suppose it is important to find a good balance between spending valuable time by yourself and with other people.
【1】Which of the following is right according to the passage?
A. My parents and my sister live in France now.
B. It is not easy for me to connect friends now.
C. I have to go to England in order to chat with my parents.
【2】What does the writer think of being alone properly?
A. It’s the only way to get relaxed. B. It makes other people feel upset.
C. It’s necessary and healthy for people. D. It makes outgoing people feel lonely.
【3】The writer agrees ________.
A. it’s important to know what other people think of us
B. it’s harmful to always compare ourselves with others
C. technology helps us to judge and improve ourselves
D. technology helps us to know about other people clearly.
【4】The underlined word “attract” probably means ________.
A. draw B. meet C. mail D. communicate
【5】What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Is technology really good for us? B. How can we keep in touch with others?
C. What is the best way to enjoy ourselves? D. Do we spend enough time truly by ourselves?
26、In the world there are a lot of people using public transport, some love it and still some dislike it. If everyone has a car and drives anywhere they want to go, there will be serious traffic problems on the road. Luckily, trains are a good form of public transport.
British people use trains a lot. This is especially so for people who are traveling from London to Paris. Every day about 20 trains leave London. They travel at a very high speed and people feel glad that the trains take only 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach Paris. It's much faster to travel by train than by bus or by car. This is because people have to drive cars or buses very carefully and slowly for many reasons, such as speed limits and traffic jams. However, when you are traveling by train, the speed is almost he same and there is no traffic jam for a train.
Besides, Londoners think taking a train is one of the safest ways of traveling on the ground. Trains take quite a number of quality tests while they are made. More importantly, they have to take many safety checks before they are used on the rail track.
What's more, trains in Britain are comfortable and provide fine services for their users. When you are on a London train, you will find that the train has comfortable tables and seats where people can sit. They also provide food services andpower plugs (电源插头) for personal computers or mobile phone.
