A
Every year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii, Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is
famous for - its stadium( 运 动 场) and theatres, its shops and restaurants. The tourists do not,
however, see Pompeii’s people. They do not see them because Pompeii has no people. No one has
lived in Pompeii for almost 2,000 years.
Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22,000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, a
grass-covered volcano(火山). Mount Vesuvius had not erupted(喷发) for centuries, so the people
of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not.
In August of A.D. 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain exploded, and
a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii. When the
eruption ended two days later, Pompeii was buried under 20 feet of stones and ashes. Almost all of
its people were dead.
For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash. Then, in the year 1861, an Italian
scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover Pompeii. Slowly, carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug.
The city looked almost the same as it had looked in A.D.79. There were streets and fountains,
houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20,000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all, there
were everyday objects, which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many
glasses and jars had some dark blue colour in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii
liked wine. They liked bread, too; metal bread pans were in every bakery. In one bakery there
were 81 round, flat loaves of bread-a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes
filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that women liked to wear eye-makeup.
Ginseppe has died, but his work continues. One-fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists
are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii.
36. Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii each year?
A. To visit the volcano. B. To shop and eat there.
C. To watch sports and plays. D. To see how Pompeiians lived.
37. Why had so many Pompeiians remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius?
A. The city nearby offered all kinds of fun.
B. The area produced the finest wine in Italy.
C. Few people expected the volcano to erupt again.
D. The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass.
38. Why did the city uncovered look almost the same as it had looked in A.D.79?
A. Because Ginseppe and his men dug it slowly and carefully.
B. Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.
C. Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.
D. Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.
39. What do we know about the Pompeiians who lived 2,000 years ago?
A. They lived more or less the same as Italians now do.
B. They liked women wearing all kinds of makeup.
C. They enjoyed a lazy life with drinking and eating.
D. They went back to Pompeii after the eruption in A. D.79.

To what degree can a computer achieve intelligence(智力)?The answer to this question
may lie in a newly-developed US computer program called Smarter Child and the Internet.
If you ran into Smarter Child online, you would be surprised at this kid’s huge memory. It
can recite many facts. For example, Smarter Child knows every baseball player in every team this
season.
He knows every word in the dictionary and the weather in every major city areas across the
US. However, if you ask Smarter Child other questions, you get strange answers. A question about
Smarter Child’s age returns. “One year, 11 days, 16 hours, 7 minutes, and 47 seconds!” Asking
where he lives gets “In a clean room in a high-tech building in California.”
Smarter Child uses the vast information on the World Wide Web as his memory bank. To
answer questions about spelling, for instance, Smarter Child goes to American Heritage Dictionary
online. For the weather, he visits www.intellicast.com.
Some scientists believe that by joining the many systems of the Internet, an artificial being
with the combined knowledge of, say, Albert Einstein, Richard Nixon and Britney Spears could be
born. However, if Smarter Child wants to think and learn on his own like the boy-computer David
in the movie A. I. Artificial Intelligence, he must overcome two problems.
The first is that computers find it difficult to read web pages because the files are labeled in
different ways. That’s why programmers need to tell Smarter Child where to look for the weather.
It would be a much more difficult task to let him find it himself.
The other problem is that while Smarter Child can process information more exactly and
faster than any human, he lacks common sense—a basic grounding of knowledge that is obvious
to any young child.
47. From the text we can infer that www.intellicast.com is a website .
A. which is specially designed to help Smarter Child
B. where we people can find Smarter Child
C. where weather forecasts are made
D. which is about artificial intelligence
48. It is probably most difficult for Smarter Child to .
A. tell us how to spell a difficult word
B. tell us how the American government is run
C. provide us with a famous poem by Shakespeare
D. learn the ability to tell right behaviors from wrong ones
49. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A. Smart Child has his own memory bank big enough for all kinds of information.
B. A.I. Artificial Intelligence is probably the name of a film about a boy-computer.
C. Smart Child can recognize different files and find information needed on his own.
D. We have similar product now which has the knowledge of Einstein, Nixon and Spears.
50. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. A New Web Child B. Smarter Child
C. The Future of Internet D. Intelligence Development

Oh, the things that I should see if I had the power of sight for just three days!
The fast day would be a busy one. I should call to me all my dear friends and look
long into their faces, imprinting(刻上) upon my mind the outward evidences of the
beauty that is within them, I should let my eyes rest, too, on the face of a baby, so that
I could Catch a vision of the eager, innocent beauty which precedes the individual's
consciousness of the conflicts which life develops.
And I should like to look into the loyal, trusting eyes of my dogs--the serious,
clever little Scottie, Darkie, and the strong, understanding Great Dane, Helga, whose
warm, tender, and playful friendships are so comforting to me.
On that busy first day I should also view the small simple things of my home. I
want to see the warm colors in the carpets under my feet, the pictures on the walls, the
lovely small furniture that transforms a house into home. My eyes would rest
respectfully on the books in dot-raised type which I have read, but they would be
more eagerly interested in the printed books which seeing people can read, for during
the long night of my life the books I have read and those which have been read to me
have built themselves into a great shining lighthouse, showing me the deepest
channels of human life and the human spirit.
In the afternoon of that first seeing day, I should take a long walk in the woods
and intoxicate ( 使 陶 醉 ) my eyes on the beauties of the world of Nature trying
desperately to absorb in a few hours the vast brilliance which is presenting itself to
those who can see. On the way home from my woodland trip, my path would lie close
to a farm so that I might see the patient horses ploughing in the field and the peaceful
content of men living close to the soil. And I should pray for the glory of a colorful
sunset.
When dusk had fallen, I should experience the double delight of being able to see
by artificial light which the genius of man has created to extend the power of his sight
when Nature brings darkness.
In the night of that first day of sight, I should not be able to sleep, so full would
be my mind of the memories of the day!
(by Helen Keller)

六、书面表达 One possible version:
Attention, please! I’m going to give you a summary of today’s discussion about whether
we should go online in our spare time.
Most students think we can go online as much as possible in our spare time because we
are free then. Through the Internet, we can gain plenty of the newest knowledge and the latest
news at home and abroad. What’s more, network offers us a convenient way to communicate
with each other. The Internet makes our lives outside class colorful and various.
On the other hand, a few students partly agree to this idea. Going online is part of our
daily life but they suggest a time limit. They’ve found that more students are playing
computer games instead of studying their lessons. There’re also a few students who are often
absent from school for days to go online.
I think we should make proper use of the Internet.
That’s all. Thank you!
