【題目】How to protect children Web fans from unsuitable material on-line while encouraging them to use the Internet has long been discussed in the US.

For some parents, the Internet can seem like a jungle (叢林), filled with danger for their children. But jungles contain wonders as well as dangers and with good guides, some education and a few precautions (預(yù)防), the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated . "Kids have to be on-line. If we tell our kids they can’t be allowed to surf the Internet, we are cutting them from their future,” said an expert.

Most kids have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding tons of interesting Internet sites, and they can also locate places where you might not want your kids to go. There are search engines designed just for kids. A certain software contains only sites that have been selected as safe. The most popular way would be to use what is known as a “content screener ". But this can’t be wholly reliable, and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or to do on the Internet. Another way is that Mum or Dad is nearby when the child is surfing the Internet.

A few other tips:

--- Don't put the PC in the child's room but keep it in an area where Mum or Dad can keep an eye on things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.

--- Ask your child what he or she has been doing and about any friend they make online,

--- Tell your child not to give on-line strangers personal information, especially like address and phone number.

--- And tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on-line over the phone, send them anything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.

【1】What is the best way to protect children from improper materials?

A. To fix a content screener on the computer.

B. To be nearby when they are surfing the Internet.

C. To talk to them and persuade them to tell right from wrong.

D. To buy some search engines for children.

【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Surfing the Internet is the best way of educating children.

B. Using a content screener is most reliable for keeping children having ways to the Internet.

C. Search engines can help children to select materials fit for them.

D. Children’s not having chances to go to the Internet may have effect on their progress.

【3】According to the passage, we can infer that _____.

A. softwares fit for children want programming.

B. the Internet will be protected by law

C. the Internet contains a lot of harmful sites

D. a child who is on-line is in danger

【題目】To extinguish (熄滅) different kinds of fires, several types of fire extinguishers have been invented. They must be ready for immediate use when fire breaks out. Most portable (手提式的) kinds operate for less than a minute, so they are useful only on small fires. The law requires ships, trains, buses and planes to carry extinguishers.

Since fuel, oxygen (氧氣) and heat must be present in order for fire to exist, one or more of these things must be removed or reduced to extinguish a fire. If the heat is reduced by cooling the material below a certain temperature, the fire goes out. The cooling method is the most common way to put out a fire. Water is the best cooling material because it is low in cost and easy to get.

Another method of extinguishing fire is by cutting off the oxygen. This is usually done by covering the fire with sand, steam or some other things. A blanket may be used do cover a small fire.

A third method is called separation, which includes removing the fuel, or material easy to burn, from a fire, so that it can find no fuel.

The method that is used to put out a fire depends upon the type of fire. Fires have been grouped in three classes. Fires in wood, paper, cloth and the like are called Class A fires. These materials usually help keep the fire on. Such fires can be stopped most readily by cooling with water.

【1】If a fire breaks out on a bus, which of the followshould be ready there for you to use?

A.Sand B.Water C.A blanket. D.An extinguisher.

【 小題2】 To cover a small piece of burning wood with a basin in order to stop the fire is an example of _______.

A.separating the fire B.reducing the heat

C.removing the fuel D.cutting off the oxygen

【3】In choosing how to put out a fire, we should first be clear about_______.

A.when it breaks out B.how it comes about

C.what kind it is D.where it takes place

【4】What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?

Dear Li Hua,

I'm very glad to receive your letter two weeks before, and I have been thinking about question you asked me. In my opinion, you should go back after you finish your studies abroad.

Therefore, this is only my point of view. It is up for you to make a right choice.

【題目】Larry was on another of his underwater expeditions(探險)but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.

Larry first began diving when he was his daughter’s age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive.

After the first expedition, Larry’s later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures

Larry’s first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them. Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around the different spots for free. Larry did not even know what the time was, how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken. The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.

Larry looked at his daughter. She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age. He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition. Already, she looked like she was much braver than Larry had been then. This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.

【1】In what way was this expedition different for Larry?

A. His daughter had grown up.

B. He had become a famous diver.

C. His father would dive with him.

D. His daughter would dive with him.

【2】What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?

A. Larry had some privileges.

B. Larry liked the rented diving suits.

C. Divers had to buy diving equipment.

D. Ten-year-old children were permitted to dive.

【3】Why did Larry have to stay in a cage underwater sometimes?

A.To protect himself from danger.

B.To dive into the deep water.

C.To admire the underwater view.

D.To take photos more conveniently.

【4】What did Larry expect his daughter to do?

A.Become a successful diver.

B.Make a good diving guide.

C.Take a lot of photos underwater.

D.Have longer hours of training.
