If you want to check where the nearest coffee shop to your home is, if you want to know how to get to a place in your city, or if you want to see where in the world your foreign pen friend lives, there's now a new free online map you can use.

Last month, China started its official online mapping service, Map World. "Through this free online service users can fly over mountains and valleys around the world and search for restaurants and traffic information across the country for free," said Xu Deming, director of the State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping (SBSM). The Bureau, which does China's surveying and mapping work, is in charge of the Map World project.

Users can get into Map World through www.tianditu.cn or www.chinaonmap.cn and search for 2- and 3-D images from across the world. The home page shows a view of the Great Wall.

"It took about two years to prepare the service with all the satellite(卫星) images taken from 2006 to 2010," said Jiang Jie, director of the database department(数据库部门) under SBSM.

The technology(技术) and website are still at an early stage. The images from inside China are detailed. Users can see close pictures of roadsides. But the views of places outside China are less clear.

Service providers have more than 80 machines, with the ability to deal with 10 million requests daily, while Google Earth, Google's mapping service, has thousands of machines, Jiang said.

"Our map service can update(更新) data about twice a year, but Google Earth can update its information every couple of minutes, through satellites," Jiang said.

The Bureau said it will continue developing Map World. At the same time, you can have a try for yourself. Some users have given their opinions about the service after trying it. One student in Beijing said that Map World even shows the small bookstore near her school.

29. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?

    A. To show how valuable the service is.

    B. To introduce the new online photo-map of China.

    C. To show the importance of the new online photo-map.

    D. To tell how popular the new online photo-map is in China.

30. According to the Bureau, Map World_______.

A. only has images of China   

B. will need another two years to complete

C. needs further development   

D. begins with the Great Wall

31. What disadvantages does Map World have, compared with Google Earth?

A. Information is updated much less often.

B. It provided less clear images of places.

C. Its machines are less high technology.   

D. It only has black and white images.

Several times my daughter had telephoned to say, "Mum, you must come and see the daffodils(水仙花) before they are over." I wanted to go, but it was a two-hour drive from Laguna to Lake Arrowhead. "I will come next Tuesday," I promised, a little unwillingly, on her third call.

   Next Tuesday got cold and rainy. But since I had promised, I drove there. When I finally walked into Carolyn's house and greeted my grandchildren, I said, "Forget the daffodils, Carolyn! The road is hard to see clearly in the cloud and fog, and now there is nothing in the world except you and these children that I want to see!"

My daughter smiled calmly and said, "We drive in this all the time, Mum."

After about 20 minutes, we turned onto a small road and I saw a small church(教堂). On the side of the church, I saw a hand-lettered sign that read, "Daffodil Garden."

We got out of the car and each took a child by the hand, and I followed Carolyn down the path. Then, we came to a corner of the path. Then, I wondered at the sight before me. There were five acres(英亩) of flowers.

"But who has done this?" I asked Carolyn.

"It's just one woman," Carolyn answered. "She lives there. That's her house."

Carolyn pointed to a well-kept A-shaped house that looked small and modest. We walked up to the house. On the door, we saw a poster. "Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking" was the title．

The firstanswer was a simple one. "50,000 bulbs(球茎)," it read.

The second answer was, "One at a time, by one woman. Two hands, two feet, and very little brain."

The third answer was, "Began in 1958."

For me, that moment was a life-changing experience. I thought of this woman whom I had never met, who began more than fifty years ago - one bulb at a time - to bring her beauty and joy to the field.

32. The writer didn't want to go to see the daffodils at first because_______.

A. she was not interested in them                        

B. they were nearly over

C. the weather was not good enough                       

D. it took a long time to drive there

33. What do we know about the woman living in the A-shaped house?

   A. She must be out of mind.       

B. She worked as a gardener there.      

C. It took her great decision to grow the daffodils.     

D. She was poor and made her living by selling the daffodils.

34. How many people went to see the daffodils with the writer on that Tuesday?

    A. One.         B. Two.             C. Three.      D. Four.

35. What could the writer probably learn from this experience?

A. A baby step at a time, a great change in life.

B. It's never too late to learn.

C. We can change the world by growing flowers.

D. We must put the interest of others above our own.

 

D

One of the things to be learnt in a foreign language is guessing all the time what kind of thing to come when listening to someone talking. People do this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary to do this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.

1. "What's the matter？" "I went to a party last night, so I…"

2. "I feel so tired these days."" I think you'd better…"

3."Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most…"

You can see from the above three examples that the context(上下文)helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So "guessing" is very important in understanding English, especially spoken English.

36. This passage tells us mainly about _________.

A. the importance of "guessing” in learning a foreign language

B. how to guess what one is going to talk about

C. some examples of right guessing

D. how important it is to guess all the time

37. From the context, we can see maybe the finished answer in Example 1 is ________.

A. "… so I didn't have a good time."        B. "…so I went to bed very late."

C. "…. So I felt unhappy."                  D. "… so I got up very early."

38. Maybe the finished answer in Example 2 is ________.

A. "I think you'd better have a good rest and take good care of yourself."

B. "I think you'd better have something to drink."

C. "I think you'd better get some help from your friends."

D. "I think you'd better be more careful."

39. Maybe the finished answer in Example 3 is ______.

A. "… she is one of the most famous film stars."

B. "…she is one of the most beautiful women."

C. "… she is one of the most famous speakers."

D. " ... she is one of the most talkative women."

40. From the passage we can infer (推断) that guessing is _______in learning a foreign language.

A. the only way

B. more important in spoken English than in written English

C. more important than any other way

D. more important in written English than in spoken English

Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on 8th January, 1942. He went to school in St Albans--a small city near London. Although he did well, he was never top of his class. After leaving school, Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics, then he went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology. As he himself admits, he didn't work hard. He was a very lazy student, and did very little work. However, he still got good marks.

    It was at the age of 20 that Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him. He started to bump(撞上) into things. When he visited his family at Christmas time, his mother was so worried that she made him see a doctor. Hawking was sent to hospital for tests. Finally, the result came back. Hawking had motor neurone disease, an incurable illness which would make him unable to speak, breathe or move without the help of a machine. Doctors said they had no way to help him. He would die before he was 23.

   At first, Hawking became very sad. After a while, though, he began to see his life in a different way. As he later write, "Before my illness was diagnosed(诊断), I had been very bored with life. There had not seemed to be anything worth doing. But shortly after I came out of hospital, I suddenly realized that there were a lot of worth while things I could do." Hawking married, found a job at Cambridge University, and had three children. He also went on to do some of the most important scientific research.

    Today, Hawking still works at Cambridge University as a professor. He strongly believes that his story shows that nobody, how bad their situation is, should lose hope. "Life is not fair, "he once said. "You just have to do the best you can in your own situation."

41. As a university student, Stephen Hawking _______.

B. his mother made him see a doctor

   C. he was twenty years old         

D. he visited his family at Christmas time one year

43. In this passage the word "incurable" means ______.

A. 无法治愈的     B. 难以确诊的     C. 常见的      D. 可以治愈的

44. When Hawking was first diagnosed with motor neurone disease, he______.

   A. made up his mind to get married   

B. began to see his life in a different way

   C. thought that nothing in life was worth doing
