Critics say Microsoft Windows 95 must be able to do what the company has said or sales will fall sharply. This could mean the public would reject future Microsoft products. The public would lose trust in the company. Some people say this will not happen. They say Microsoft sent out several thousand copies of their new product to computer experts to test several months before it was released. Problems that these testers found were immediately corrected. Microsoft representatives are working to solve all the other problems buyers find when they try the new system. Computer industry experts say that if there are no major problems Microsoft can expect to earn about 7 thousand million dollars from Windows 95 in the first two years. The experts say this could be just a beginning for Microsoft and the whole computer industry. The experts say Windows 95 can help the user do many different and difficult tasks. They say this means the sale of more powerful computers and other computer products will increase as people learn about the new Microsoft product. Other companies say Windows 95 is not a big improvement. The Apple Computer Company says its Mackintosh Operating System has been able to do many of the same things since 1989. For example, it has been able to let users work two different programs at the same time. The Amega Computer also has offered this for almost ten years.

“A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right,” says Mollie Hunter. Born and brought up near Edinburgh, Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people. She firmly believes that there is always and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market is. In Mollies opinion it is necessary to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story, which is what every writer should be doing. “If you arent telling a story, youre a very dead writer indeed,” she says. With the chief function of a writer being to entertain (让人愉快), Mollie is indeed an entertainer. “I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language,” she says. “This love goes back to early childhood. Ive told stories all my life. I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and, because my family always had dogs, and I was very good at handling them, I said I wanted to work with dogs, and the teacher always said ‘Nonsense, Mollie, dear, you’ll be a writer.’ So finally I thought that this woman must have something, since she was a good teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer.”
This childhood intention is described in her novel, A Sound of Chariots, which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical (自传体的) and gives a picture both of Mollies ambition (理想) and her struggle towards its achievement. Thoughts of her childhood inevitably(不可避免地)brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup meadows and strawberry fields—sadly now covered with modern houses.“I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood. Ill never go back,”she said. “Never.”“When I set one of my books in Scotland,”she said,“I can recall my romantic (浪漫的) feelings as a child playing in those fields, or watching the village blacksmith at work. And thats important, because children now know so much so early that romance cant exist for them, as it did for us.”
59. What does Mollie Hunter feel about the nature of a good book?
  A. It should not aim at a narrow audience.
  B. It should be attractive to young readers.
  C. It should be based on original ideas.
  D. It should not include too much conversation.
60. In Mollie Hunters opinion, which of the following is one sign of a poor writer?
  A. Being poor in life experience.         B. Being short of writing skills.
  C. The weakness of description.    D. The absence of a story.
61. What do we learn about Mollie Hunter as a young child?
  A. She didnt expect to become a writer.  B. She didnt enjoy writing stories.
  C. She didnt have any particular ambitions.       
D. She didnt respect her teachers views.
62. In comparison with children of earlier years, Mollie feels that modern children are    .
  A. more intelligent         B. better informed
  C. less eager to learn       D. less interested in reality
63. Whats the writers purpose in this text?
  A. To describe Mollie Hunters most successful books.
  B. To share her enjoyment of Mollie Hunters books.
  C. To introduce Mollie Hunters work to a wider audience.
  D. To provide information for Mollie Hunters existing readers.

There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art. Washington, D.C. has the National Gallery of Art (美术馆); Paris has the Luvre; London, the British Museum. Florida International University (FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see. And it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings.
FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States. You dont have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a computer linked to a telephone. You can call the telephone number of a university computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is stored in the school computer. It is computer art, produced electronically by artists on their own computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.
Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum. He says he starts the museum because computer artists had no place to show their works.
A computer artist can only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy discs, to others to see on their computers. He can also put his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures on paper, the computer artist needs an expensive laser printer.
Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr Shostak said the FIU museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists enjoy their work much more if they have an audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum.
64. The main purpose of this text is to give information about   .
  A. museums throughout the world 
  B. an electronic art museum in Miami, U.S.A.
  C. art exhibitions in Florida International University
  D. latest development of computer art
65. To see the art in FIU museum, you need   .
  A. floppy discs         B. a computer and a printer
  C. pictures and drawings on paper
  D. a computer connected to the museum by telephone line
66. The museum was started when     .
  A. Robert Shostak wanted to do something for computer scientists
  B. Robert Shostak wanted to help computer artists
  C. art students needed a place to show their works
  D. computer scientists wanted to do something about art
67. The words“an audience”in the last paragraph refer to     .
  A. art students          B. computer owners�
  C. exhibits in the museum    D. those who will enjoy art


One would have to be a fool to overlook the importance of using positive thinking for you rather than allowing negative thinking to work against you. In recent years, research in psychopharmacology (精神药理学) has proved what many people have known over the centuries: a positive attitude is good for you, good for your health, good for your wealth, good for everything. Researchers found that a positive attitude produces a specific chemical reaction which makes people feel better, while negative thinking results in a decline of hormone (荷尔蒙) and shuts down the immune (免疫的) system. This leads to illness and depression. Positive thoughts will make you feel better. Even if you must begin by literally forcing yourself to be positive (faking it, so to speak), it will become contagious (会传播的) and the positive thoughts will generate nice little chemicals and good feelings which will reinforce the positive thoughts.
For example, if you force yourself to smile or laugh, even when you dont feel like smiling or laughing, if you keep at it for a few minutes, you will soon feel like it. Feelings can generate thoughts, but thoughts can also generate feelings. Control your thoughts and you can control your feelings. Positive thinking is important in all aspects of our lives. There is probably no single factor more important in determining your success in achieving your career objectives than your own attitude.
Its often been said that in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. And in the office of militant (好战) negativism, the positive workers shine like gold. You cannot control external events, but you can learn to control your reaction to those events and thereby have a positive attitude and be happy. This vital key to success is totally within your control. Use it.
68. We can infer from the passage that     .
  A. positive thinking can cure you of your diseases
  B. positive thinking can easily be generated by anyone
  C. a decline of hormone may cause you to be depressed
  D. a specific chemical reaction is the cause of negative thinking
69. According to the passage, which of the following is true?
  A. Feeling and thoughts can generate each other.
  B. Its easier to control thoughts than to control feelings.
  C. Your success depends wholly on your attitude.
  D. Keeping smiling will surely make you successful.
70. Just like a one-eyed man in the land of the blind, you should    .
  A. take positive attitude in the office of militant negativism
  B. be king in your office
  C. pay no attention to what is going on around you
  D. control your feeling to what is happening to you
71. The best title to the passage is    .
  A. Thinking Benefits People       B. Why Should People Think
  C. Positive Thinking and Negative Thinking  D. Thinking: The Vital Way
SOUTHPORT, ENGLAND—A British teaching union famous for strange ideas has supported proposal to employ dogs as classroom assistants.
At the annual conference of the Professional Association of teachers in Southport, northwest of England, one person suggested properly trained dogs be able to keep order in primary schools. They can round up lost children and protect those who experience unfortunate “accidents”. Wendy Dyble, a Sheetland Islands woman who teaches children up to age seven, made it clear to her fellow friends that she was not “barking mad”. They obviously believed her, supporting her idea by 16 votes to 13, with a total of 63 abstentions.
She said big dogs could help round up children, keep them in line, lick up the milk they spill on the floor and provide the extra eyes that a teacher needs to keep order. “A big dog would also be helpful for breaking up fights and look for lost property, like gym shoes or dolls, ” Dyble said at the conference. “The dog will also be useful in sniffing out smells that children do not own up to,” she added. “It would be nice for the teacher not to have to go round sniffing each child to find the culprit.”
The idea was greeted by the Dog Defense League but less so by bigger teaching unions. A spokesman for Education Secretary David Blunkett, who is blind, said his guide dog was always popular with pupils when he visited schools. The Professional Association of Teachers, with around 35,000 members, is the smallest teaching union in Britain. It has an honour for occasional strange ideas.
Earlier this week, its annual conference here suggested stopping exams because they lead to stress and introducing selection at the age of 12 based on physical coordination and manual skill in the use of hand.
72. According to the writers opinion, to employ dogs as classroom assistants   .
  A. is a wonderful idea
  B. can improve the relation between children and animals
  C. is beyond ordinary peoples minds       D. can make some teachers lose jobs
73. What Dyble said at the conference     .
  A. gained some support from the members     
B. frightened everyone at the conference
  C. interested everyone at the conference     
D. caused some trouble to trained dogs
74. A spokesman for Education Secretary     .
  A. once used a dog as classroom assistant  B. sang high praise for Dybles idea
  C. would employ dogs as teachers D. benefited from dogs more than others
75. The last paragraph of this passage    .
  A. has nothing to do with the topic of this passage
  B. shows there are too many exams in British school
  C. provides further facts about the teaching union
  D. shows the writers anger to the union

  Electronic mail (e-mail) was started in the late 1960s by the U.S. military. By the 1980s, academics in a number of fields were using e-mail for professional collaboration. The early 1990s saw an explosion of the use of e-mail and other computer networking tools for a wide range of professional, academic, and personal purposes.
  E-mail is a way of sending a message from one computer to one or more other computers around the world. First, you write down the e-mail address of the person you are sending the message to. Then you write the message, either directly in a special e-mail software program or first in a word-processing program and transferring it into the e-mail software. You should push a button to give a simple command to send the message. The computer system you are connected to will break the message up into tiny pieces and send them electronically to the destination. The pieces might travel numerous routes through other computers on the way. Usually within 2—3 minutes, the pieces will all arrive at their destination, where the receiving computer will reassemble them into a message. The person receiving the message can check his or her mailbox at a convenient time and read the mail.

My views on the development of private car ownership
 With the improved social developments, more and more Chinese families are beginning to afford private cars. Yet opinions of whether we should develop private car ownership or not differ from person to person.
  In some people’s eyes, private cars offered them great convenience and mobility. People no longer have to depend on public transportation and they can go wherever they want. However, opponents of this idea think that private cars make the situation of city traffic even worse. There are already so many traffic jams. What’s more, so many private cars greatly pollute the air.
  As far as I’m concerned, the increasing number of private cars is a symbol of modernization of our country, but we should try to carry out some relative policies to put the use of private cars under firm control.
