In so many ways, cyberspace（網(wǎng)絡(luò)空間） mirrors the real world．People ask for information, play games, and share hobby tips．Others buy and sell products．Still others look for friendship, or even love．

       Some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with．They’re looking for serious love relationships．Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask．Some of these relationships actually succeed．Others end in tears．

       Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen．Identity and appearance mean very little in cyberspace．Rather, a person’s thoughts or at least the thoughts they type are what really counts．So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star．

       Usually, this “faceless” communication doesn’t create problems．Identity doesn’t really matter when you’re in a chat-room discussing politics or hobbies．In fact, this emphasis on the ideas themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation．Where else can so many people come together to chat?

       Supporters of online relationships claim that the Internet allows couples to know how intelligent they are first．Personal appearance doesn’t get in the way．

       But critics（批評(píng)者）of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace．Why? Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them．Internet users can carefully choose their words to fit whatever image they want to give．And they don’t have to worry about what their “non-verbal ” communication is doing for their image．In a sense, they’re not really themselves．All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace．But not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationship．With so many unknowns, it’s easy to let one’s imagination “fill in the blanks”．This surely leads to disappointment when couples meet in person．How someone imagines an online friend is often quite different from the real person．

       So, before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll, “Life in the real world is far richer than anything you’ll find on a computer screen．”

Which would the critics of online relationships most probably disagree to?

       A．Nobody can truly know another person in cyberspace．

       B．Internet users can choose words to create any image they like．

       C．The Internet allows couples know how intelligent they are．

       D．In a sense, Internet users are not really themselves．

Even the shyest person can become a chat-room star because what really counts is a person’s ______．

       A．non-verbal communication    B．thoughts typed on the screen

       C．knowledge and appearance    D．identity shown in the chat

The underlined word “This” （Paragraph 6） refers to ______．

       A．having exciting conversations online

       B．forming personal relationship in cyberspace

       C．imagining online friends with so many unknowns

       D．knowing a person in a love relationship

What’s the writer’s attitude towards finding love in cyberspace?

       A．Positive         B．Negative        C．Interested      D．Disinterested

Greece declared a national state of emergency on Saturday as scores of forest fires that have killed at least 46 people continued to burn out of control, leaving some villages trapped within walls of flames, cut off from firefighters.

Although most of the fires have been on the Peloponnesian Peninsula, some broke out on the outskirts of Athens on Saturday, forcing the evacuation of homes and closing a major road linking the capital to the main airport for several hours. The national fire brigade said that by evening it had brought those blazes under control, including one that came within about six miles of the city.

The country has been helpless to fire this summer because of drought and three consecutive heat waves that sent temperatures high over 100 degrees. More than 3,000 forest fires have destroyed thousands of acres of wooded areas since June; the earlier fires killed nine people. The latest wave of fires on the peninsula started Friday. Strong, hot winds have spread the flames.

Firefighters expect the death toll to rise, because they have not yet been able to search some areas that had been overrun by flames.

Hardest hit by the fires were a dozen small villages around the town of Zaharo in the western peninsula, where at least 12 people, including some who may have been trying to flee by car, were killed. Scores of other residents, including elderly and disabled people, remained trapped in their homes, phoning into local television and radio stations, crying for help.

Late Saturday, Mr. Karamanlis, Prime Minister of Greece appeared on national television and declared that he was mobilizing all of the country’s resources to control the fire. Mr. Karamanlis also suggested that the recent fires might have been purposely set. “So many fires sparked at the same time in so many regions is no coincidence,” he said, “We will get to the bottom of this and punish those responsible.”

The overstretched national fire services are being helped by an estimated 6,000 soldiers mobilized for the operation. A fleet of water-dumping aircraft was expected from France, Germany and Norway, after Greece appealed to the European Union for “urgent assistance.”

The writer mainly wants to tell us that ______ in the passage.

A. firefighters battles fearlessly in Greece to control the fire

B. constant fires in Greece have caused great life and wealth lose

C. Greece is facing great danger as forest fires continue to break out

D. Greek government is investigating the cause of recent forest fires

According to the passage, which of the following might not contribute to the recent forest fires in Greek?

A. Storm thunders in summer                           B. Lack of rainfall

C. Extremely hot weather this summer            D. Hot and strong wind

We can learn from the passage that ______.

A. now the fire crisis in Greece has come to an end

B. assistance from EU members is expected to come to help Greece

C. firefighters in Greece so far can still manage the situation

D. the number of people who die in the fire is expected not to rise any more

Mr. Karamanlis believes the forest fires in Greece _______.

A. is a happening by chance                    B. is a natural disaster

C. might be caused by human on purpose   D. is a punishment of nature

In 1901, H.G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the “moon people” they met. In turn, the “moon people” expressed their surprise. “Why,” they asked. “are you travelling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?”

H.G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the “moon people” asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it. Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The “Chunnel”, a tunnel (隧道) connecting England and France, is now complete.

But what about underground cities? Japan’s Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems called “Alice Cities”. The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome (太陽(yáng)能穹頂) would cover the whole city. Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G. Wells’ “moon people” would agree. Would you?

The explorers in H.G. Wells’ story were surprised to find that the “moon people” ______.

A. understood their language          B. knew so much about the earth

C. lived in so many underground cities  D. were ahead of them in space technology

What does the underlined word “it” (paragraph2) refer to?

A. Travelling to outer space.           B. Using the earth’s inner space.

C. Meeting the “moon people” again    D. Discovering the moon’s inner space

What sort of underground systems are already here with us?

A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations.  B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.

C. Gardens, car parks, power stations.       D. Tunnels, gardens, offices.

What would be the best title for the text?

A. Alice Cities － Cities of the Future     B. Space Travel with H.G. Wells

C. Enjoy Living Underground             D. Building Down, Not up

To American visitors, Iceland is a very interesting country, partly because it is different in so many ways from what he or she is used to seeing at home. There are quite a few things that are not done, or that do not exist on the island - quite a few "No's".
There is no pollution, for instance. No dogs are permitted in Reykjavik, the capital. There is no television on Thursdays or during the entire month of July, and only three hours of black-and-white TV the rest of the time. There is no hard liquor on Wednesdays and no beer at any time. There are no handguns; only one jail of thirty-five cells（牢房） in the entire land – an admirable figure, even for a small country of 313,376 people.
There is no army, air force or navy. There is no tipping for anything. There are no large stores open on Saturdays or Sundays. Since Iceland is situated just under the Arctic Circle, there is no darkness in summer and do daylight in winter. But thanks to Gulf Stream, the climate is rather mild, with temperatures ranging from 34 degrees Fahrenheit to 52 degrees in July.
The rules on television, liquor, and guns are the result of governmental decision. But the absence of pollution is due in great part to the fact that Iceland gets its power from the enormous geyser（間歇泉）and the thousands of hot springs that come out of the ground. They provide all the energy needed by the country. In fact, Iceland uses only 3 percent of all its available power.
Iceland has been described as a democratic (民主的) independent country where more fish are caught and more books published per person than anywhere else in the world. The Icelanders have always felt a particular love for literature. They composed their first works in the ninth and tenth centuries AD. These works were poems and tales about the kings, heroes, and heroines of Iceland and Norway. At first the stories were memorized and passed from generation to generation. The Icelanders have never stopped writing ever since. “Rather shoeless than bookless," they proudly say.
【小題1】American visitors enjoy visiting Iceland probably because     .

A．no dogs are permitted in the capital
B．the police do not carry handguns
C．it is very different from America
D．the climate is rather mild.
【小題2】The following statements are true EXCEPT       .
A．there are no soldiers in Iceland
B．the Icelanders don't drink beer
C．there is no service fee of any kind
D．there are no crimes in Iceland
【小題3】There is no pollution in Iceland mainly because         .
A．Iceland uses only 3 percent of all its available power
B．the Icelanders use hot water from the ground below as their energy
C．it is located just under the Arctic Circle
D．it is a democratic independent country
【小題4】"Rather shoeless than bookless" means         .
A．they regard books more important than shoes.
B．they would rather have shoes on than write books
C．they prefer traveling to reading
D．they prefer not to have shoes or books
