【解析】

試題分析：本文是一篇說明文。因特網(wǎng)聊天是生活中的一部分，尤其是青年學(xué)生更是喜愛有加。然而，它究竟是好還是壞？文章簡單介紹了應(yīng)用因特網(wǎng)進(jìn)行電話交流及其他用途的利與弊。

1.less。抓住關(guān)鍵詞than，根據(jù)expensive與to make a long distance call的常識，作出判斷：網(wǎng)上聊天比長度電話更便宜，于是得出答案less。

2.關(guān)鍵在于懂得option是可數(shù)名詞，那么結(jié)合英語知識：可數(shù)名詞第一次出現(xiàn)，其前面須用不定冠詞；再根據(jù)attractive以元音開頭，從而確定答案為an。

3. or。關(guān)鍵要正確理解you live far away from family and friends與you are on a budget在句子中關(guān)系。根據(jù)This makes Internet chatting an attractive option中的option可知，為兩者之間的選擇，于是答案填or。

4.other。抓住名詞tasks就可知道，名詞前面須用形容詞、數(shù)詞或代詞，根據(jù)also及后面的For example，結(jié)合前面一段的意思可知，指通過因特網(wǎng)完成其他任務(wù)，于是填答案other。

5.with。在此題中，考生必須牢記英語短語have a conversation with someone（與某人會話），從而很容易確定答案with。

6.if/when。本題主要考查對句子間的邏輯關(guān)系的理解。根據(jù)can可知，前面主句表示一種可能，那么后面應(yīng)該是可能情況下所需要的條件，于是答案填if。也可理解為表時間，填when。

7.while。本題主要考查對動作時間關(guān)系的理解。根據(jù)multitask后面的chatting on the Internet可知，表示兩件事情同時進(jìn)行，于是用連詞while。

8.which。本題主要考查對句子結(jié)構(gòu)的理解。根據(jù)前面的逗號及后面的內(nèi)容可知，后面為非限制性定語從句，由于定語從句缺主語，于是答案填which。

考點(diǎn)：日常生活類短文閱讀理解

點(diǎn)評：這篇文章非常簡單，理解了全文內(nèi)容，很容易寫出正確答案。閱讀短文時，常常會遇到一些生詞。這時，要沉著，冷靜，細(xì)心思考。首先要把整段、整篇文章看完。通過對全篇短文的理解，就很有可能猜測出生詞的大意。另外，還可以從含有生詞句子的上下文，以及句子和段落之間的關(guān)系來判斷、理解生詞以求獲得其真正含義。猜測生詞的另一種方法是，根據(jù)構(gòu)詞法推測。遇到生詞后，可從構(gòu)詞法角度分析判斷生詞。

The Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an ecological disaster area. Nauru’s heartbreaking story could have one good consequence — other countries might learn from its mistakes.
For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island.
However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900.
Nauru’s real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate (磷酸鹽)on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate.
A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. When a company strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.
In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.
Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem — their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen.
【小題1】What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A．To seek help for Nauru’s problems.
B．To give a warning to other countries
C．To show the importance of money
D．To tell a heartbreaking story of a war.
【小題2】What was Nauru like before the Europeans came?
A．Rich and powerful B．Modern and open
C．Peaceful and attractive D．Greedy and aggressive
【小題3】The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from _______.
A．soil pollutionB．phosphate overmining
C．farming activity D．whale hunting
【小題4】Which of the following was a cause of Nauru’s financial problem?
A．Its leaders misused the money
B．It spent too much repairing the island
C．Its phosphate mining cost much money
D．It lost millions of dollars in the civil war.
【小題5】What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?
A．The ecological damage is difficult to repair.
B．The leaders will take the experts’ words seriously.
C．The island was abandoned by the Nauruans
D．The phosphate mines were destroyed

When a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.
Certainly, most of the world’s great religions (宗教) order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally (道德方面) right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.
First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil (惡行). Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one’s sense of pride and self-dependence.
Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.
It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take sway the moral goodness of the giver.
【小題1】What is mainly discussed in the passage?

A．Moral deeds of people.
B．Religious activities of the church.
C．Moral goodness of the giver.
D．Arguments on giving to beggars.
【小題2】What can we infer from the sentence “But has the world changed?” in the second paragraph?
A．People no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village.
B．Some people will not do what was morally right in the past.
C．We don’t meet with those who need help any more.
D．Now it is the government’s duty to help the beggars.
【小題3】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A．Some people dress up to pretend to be beggars.
B．Some beggars want money to help their children go to school.
C．Some beggars use the money to buy drugs.
D．Some beggars have no excuse for begging.
【小題4】In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that it is hard to come to any final conclusion, because       .
A．the cases can be so different
B．there are so many beggars
C．there is so much money wasted
D．there are so many different arguments

One might expect that the ever-growing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but good for the countries that receive the holiday-makers. Indeed, a rosy picture is painted for the long-term future of the holiday industry. Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere, and every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as the 'last paradise(天堂) on earth'.

However, the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. In those countries where there was a rush to make quick money out of sea-side holidays, over-crowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal.

Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most. In recent years, Nepal set out to attract foreign visitors to fund developments in health and education. Its forests, full of wildlife and rare flowers, were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise. In fact, the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holiday-makers traveling through the forest land. Ancient tacks became major routes for the walkers, with the consequent exploitation of precious trees and plants.

Not only can the environment of a country suffer from the sudden growth of tourism. The people as well rapidly feel its effects. Farmland makes way for hotels, roads and airports; the old way of life goes. The one-time farmer is now the servant of some multi-national organization; he is no longer his own master. Once it was his back that bore the pain; now it is his smile that is exploited. No doubt he wonders whether he wasn't happier in his village working his own land.

Thankfully, the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receive its customers. The protection of wildlife and the creation of national parks go hand in hand with tourist development and in fact obtain financial support from tourist companies. At the same time, tourists are being encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also its people.

The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit. Their needs and problems are more important than those of the tourist companies. Increased understanding in planning world-wide tourism can preserve the market for these companies. If not, in a few years’ time the very things that attract tourists now may well have been destroyed.

1.What does the author indicate in the last sentence of Paragraph 1?

A．The Pacific Island is a paradise.             B．The Pacific Island is worth visiting.

C．The advertisement is not convincing.         D．The advertisement is not impressive

2.The example of Nepal is used to suggest _________.

A．its natural resources are untouched

B．its forests are exploited for farmland

C．it develops well in health and education

D．it suffers from the heavy flow of tourists.

3.What can we learn about the farmers from Paragraph 4?

A．They are happy to work their own lands.

B．They have to please the tourists for a living.

C．They have to struggle for their independence.

D．They are proud of working in multi-national organizations.

4.Which of the following determines the future of tourism?

A．The number of tourists                   B．The improvement of services.

C．The promotion of new products.            D．The management of tourism

5.The author’s attitude towards the development of the tourist industry is __________.

A．optimistic         B．doubtful          C．objective          D．negative
