III．阅读理解（共25小题，每小题2分，满足，50分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。
（A）
Many university students dislike studying history because there is little to get excited about when historical events are presented in a boring manner. However, I'll never forget my American History professor, Dr Williamson. Each event leaped from the pages of our text and became as real as the daily news report on the radio. My favorite lecture concerned the American Revolution. Dr Williamson set the mood for the story by imitating(模仿) Paul Revere, a well known silversmith, working in his shop. The American colonists(殖民地开拓者) were angry because of the British control over their lives. Revere felt that war between the British and the colonists was to come soon. Then, Dr Williamson told us about Revere rowing across the Charles River from Boston on April 18,1775. I can see the professor now as he raised his hand to his forehead as if he were looking across the Charles River to the Old North Church in Boston. Suddenly, Revere saw two lanterns, a signal which meant that the British would attack by sea. He jumped on his horse to warn the villagers of the attack. Professor Williamson reminded us that the first battles of the American Revolution were fought at Corncord and Lexington, Massachusetts, the year before the Declaration of Independence (独立宣言) was signed in 1776, Never before had history seemed so alive to me. And all because a professor cared enough to put his heart into his teaching.

Pennsylvania When Connie Beck and her husband awoke to strange noises last weekend, they thought high winds were rattling their home.
What they found was even more unexpected: A deer was taking a bubble bath in their bathtub.
"I wasn't exactly dressed for company," Mrs. Beck said. " We were just waking up."
The deer burst through the front door early Saturday, ran past the couple's bedroom and into the bathroom.
Somehow he managed to turn on the water in the bathtub and knock over a bottle of bubble bath into the bathtub.
He then got himself into the bubbly water.
"You could hear the water running over the kicking." Beck said.
The Becks called State Game Commission officials, who arrived with tranquilizers (镇定剂) and a lot of laughter.
" A guy said, ' there's nothing wrong he's just in there taking a bubble bath,'" Mrs Beck said.
The animal was soon brought under control, removed from the house and released.
"He was unharmed except for a little cut above the eye," said Mrs Beck. " We were also fortunate. There wasn't much damage, except for the front door, some marks on the tub, and a few hoof prints on the floor."

If you're in charge of a project, the key to success is getting everyone to want to help you. As a director, I point. I suggest. I gently push the actors in the direction I want them to go .
In the 1986 movie Nothing in Common, Jackie Gleason's character, Max Basner, gets fired from his job as a clothing salesman. The scene, shot on a boat, shows Max's despair about being out of work. I was looking for some gesture that would allow Max to show his feelings.
Jackie had far more experience at everything than I did, and at first I was frightened. What could I possibly tell " The Great One" about acting? Out of fear I decided to direct by suggestion, and I sat down with Gleason to talk about the scene. " So Max is sad, right?" I said.
Gleason nodded.
"And he's probably still carrying his pens with his name on them-the ones he used to hand out to his customers, right?"
Gleason nodded.
" So what would you want to do with the pens after you were fired?"
He was silent for a moment. "Why don't I throw them overboard?"
I stood up and turned toward the crew. " Hey, everybody, Jackie has a wonderful idea. Let's shoot it."
After filming the scene, Gleason called me over and said with a smile, "Garry, what kind of wonderful idea am I going to have tomorrow?"
You and your team can discover the answers to problems together. When there are no prizes or gold stars for who gets the solution first, you'll all benefit when everything turns out right.

At present, there are five network firms-China Telecom, China Unicom, Jitong Communications, China Netcom and China Mobile -that are allowed to operate IP services in China. Each company has its advantages in service.
Charge
As the Ministry of Information Industry co-ordinates, the charges of IP calls of the five companies are the same, 0.30 yuan per minute for DDD calls, 4.80 yuan per minute for IDD calls, 2.50 yuan for calls from the mainland to Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, and 1.50yuan from Shenzhen to HK, Zhongshan and Zhuhai to Macao. IP callers don't enjoy discounts on holidays.
Range
China Telecom has the widest coverage. All cities in China with telephone access and most countries in the world are open to China Telecom's IP card.
China Unicom's IP card can reach 29 cities nationwide and more than 130 countries and regions worldwide. Jitong IP can access(接通) 12 cities in China and over 70 countries and regions worldwide.
China Netcom's IP card can reach 14 cities in China and 149 countries and regions in the world.
China Mobile's IP card is open to only six cities nationwide but can access more than 200 countries and regions worldwide.
Voice quality
China Telecom realizes its IP service by the public Internet, therefore net congestion (拥挤) and voice delay may sometimes disturb conversations. The other four companies have their private data networks, which help to increase transmission speeds and improve voice quality.
Other services
China Telecom, Jitong and China Mobile offer account transfer services. Users can transfer the remaining sum of money on one card to another card.
Jitong and Netcom link their services with bank cards. One can enjoy IP's service without an IP card. Bank card users can make IP phone calls with their bank card numbers, so they needn't buy new IP cards and remember the new numbers again and again.
As for customer service, China Telecom, China Unicom and China Mobile provide free hot line service, while Jitong and Netcom charge for their services.
60. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A Organization of the five IP firms.
B Difference between the five IP firms.
C Foundation of China's five IP firms
D Development of China's five IP firms
61. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?
A China Unicom charges IDD calls more than the other four firms.
B China Mobile's coverage is the least of the five firms.
C China Telecom accesses many more cities nationwide than the other four
D China Netcom is the only one to be allowed to operate IP service
62. When enjoying IP service,
A Jitong users needn't buy IP cards
B China Telecom users neeedn't buy new IP cards
C Netcom users have to link with a bank
D China Mobile users have to pay for their hot line service
63. If you want to access more foreign countries and regions with better voice quality, you'd better choose IP card.
A China Telecom's B China Mobile's
C China Netcom's D China Unicom's

The purpose of the information superhighway is to provide remote electronic banking, schooling, shopping, taxpaying, chatting, game playing, video conferencing, movie ordering and medical diagnosing.
Here's what it won't do: It won't remove the need to shop at stores, drive a car, visit friends, or do most of the things you normally do now.
It might make many things you do easier and more convenient. Movies you now can get only at video stores will be available on your TV 24 hours a day.
The information superhighway will carry all kinds of personal matters from your tastes in movies to your buying habits. How this information will be protected is one of the great unknowns.
Computer hackers represent another threat (威胁). Last February, high tech marauders were able to steal thousands of passwords from Internet; this would allow them to read hundreds of personal files, including E-mail. Such a break-in could result in anything from a small inconvenience to a loss of privacy.
On the other hand, computerized systems give financial institutions (金融机构) and police stations much better tools for picking out patterns of criminal behavior.
64. According to the passage , the information superhighway can't be used for
A education B conversation C going out dining D medical service
65.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A The information superhighway will get rid of the need to shop at stores.
B It is possible to do shopping through the information superhighway
C The information superhighway can perform the operation in hospital
D The information superhighway will do most of the things you normally do now.
66. From the passage we can learn that
A it is hard to protect the privacy of superhighway users
B superhighway has a thousand passwords
C financial institutions can deal with criminal behavior
D nobody knows your buying habits from the superhighway
67. In the fifth paragraph, the underlined word "marauders" means
A operators B engineers C thieves D managers
(F)
The expression "burning your bridges" means acting in such a way that you destroy any chance of turning back or changing your decision.
You can burn your bridges when you are offered a new job. Suppose, for example, that you decide to take the new job. You tell your old boss about your decision. You also tell him how glad you are to leave.
With these words, you have burned your bridges. Your boss will never let you return to your old job.
The expression " burning your bridges" gets its name from similar expression, " burning your boats". Long ago, military ( connected with armies ) commanders wanted to make it clear to their troops that victory was expected. To make this point, an invading (入侵) force would burn its boats after landing on an enemy shore. This made it impossible to retreat a withdraw (撤退) Only by defeating the enemy would the invading troops be able to return safely to their home country. In burning their boats, the invaders had burned their bridges home.
Most people who "burn their bridges" today do not belong to the military. But like those armies, they move in a new direction with on chance of turning back.
One part of a person's life ends suddenly, and another begins .Soon, the new life continues on a path of its own. All that remains of the old path are memories
There is another expression that all bridge burners should not forget. It usually is in the form of a warning. " Don't cross your bridges until you come to them." The meaning is clear: Don't act until the time is right.
68. The best title for this passage is
A Giving up Your Hope
B Changing Your Last Decision
C Burning Your Boats or Bridges
D Thinking Before You Act
69. The expression " Don't cross your bridges until you come to them." Means
A when the time is right it is safe to cross rivers
B don't waste time thinking difficulties which may never appear
C in order to win victory, destroy any chance of turning back
D to defeat the enemy, burn your boats soon after landing on its shore
70. When burning one's boats, one really shows his great determination to
A make peace with his enemy B get back to the old path
C creat a better world D start a new life
