Ⅳ.阅读理解
Computers.Love them or hate them，it is impossible to escape from them in the modern age.They are so much a part of our everyday lives—from instant messaging to e－mails.With many people preferring to use e－mail rather than traditional “snail mail” (regular mail)，it has become very important to be aware of how we express ourselves when using e－mail.
Grammar and spelling
Firstly，if you are dealing with a formal e－mail，pay close attention to grammar and spelling.Don’t forget to run your spell－check (program) at the end of the document，but don’t treat it as the final word.Carefully re－read it yourself，as sometimes even grammar and spell checking programs come up with some strange interpretations.Remember，your first e－mail to a potential employer or college could be your last—you won’t want to spoil your first impression by making basic errors.
E－mail addresses
Also，for official e－mails，carefully consider your existing e－mail address.A funny e－mail address may be fine for using with your friends，but what impression do you think this address might give to an employer or college admissions officer (招生负责人)？Consider using one address for personal e－mails and a different one for formal use.
Upper case (大写字母)
Take care also NOT TO TYPE UNNECESSARILY IN UPPER CASE，as this is the e－mail version of shouting.
Personal information
You should also beware of giving away too much personal information over the Internet.It
may feel much more comfortable to “talk” using instant messages as there are no uncomfortable silences or awkward (尴尬的) moments，but never forget that—unless the person you are speaking to is a friend or family member—you really know nothing about them，so be careful.Further to this，NEVER agree to meet a stranger that you have spoken to online，as it can be extremely dangerous.
My final message though is—have fun！The Internet is exciting，useful and informative.But，as with so many things that we believe we can’t live without，it is a much better servant than a master.
1．The text is mainly about________.
A．how to express ourselves when using e－mail
B．computers，so much a part of our everyday lives
C．the Internet，a much better servant than a master
D．paying close attention to grammar and spelling when dealing with a formal e－mail
2．What does the underlined word “beware” mean?
A．Think. B．Be careful.
C．Care. D．Know.
3．If you use all capital letters，it looks like you are________.
A．yelling B．careful
C．unprofessional D．childish
4．Which of the following statements would the writer agree to?
A．As time goes by，many people prefer to use traditional regular mail again.
B．It’s fun to meet a stranger that you have spoken to online.
C．If you want to apply for a job，you can’t use a funny e－mail address when writing e－mails.
D．Grammar and spelling are not important when you write e－mails.
last adj.最后的；adv.最近，上次；n.最后的人/事物
生义：v.持续；继续存在；维持原状；足够维持
(1)Each lesson lasts forty－five minutes.
每堂课持续45分钟。
(2)We only had \ 200 to last us the rest of the month.
我们只有200元来度过这个月余下的日子。

Ⅰ.1.In 2.to 3.around 4.about 5.with 6.in on
Ⅱ.1.你认为科技对我们的生活会有怎样的影响？ How do you think we should help him?
2．我看到人们正在虚拟世界里生活和工作。 When did you last saw the boy playing in the garden?
3．很显然，我们将会看到网上购物的巨大增长。 It is clear that he has told her the truth.
Ⅲ.1.B [根据句式结构，此处需要动词或动词短语。affect，influence都可用作动词相当于have an effect on，effect多用作名词，故B项不符合。]
2．D [句意为：近30年来，因特网快速发展。in the last/past...years，意为“在最近……年里”，多与现在完成时连用，故选D项。]
3．C [句意为：在1983年，只有200台计算机连接到因特网上。computer与connect之间为被动关系，故选C项，过去分词短语作后置定语修饰computers。]
4．B [句意为：有些专家对未来感到悲观。be pessimistic about属固定搭配，意为“对……感到悲观”。]
5．D [句意为：很明显，这种破坏在未来将变得更危险。句中it作形式主语，真正的主语是that引导的从句。]
6．B [第一空用形容词作remains的表语；as if引导的从句所表示的内容与现在事实相反，故从句用一般过去时。故选B项。]
7．C [考查固定搭配。be an expert on在……方面是专家。]
8．B [考查固定搭配。take...action采取……行动。]
9．B [句意为：她还认为，我们将来可以在因特网上进行娱乐活动，而且那时电视很可能不复存在。由句意知，动词believe后有两个that引导的宾语从句，当动词后有两个或两个以上that引导宾语从句时，只有第一个that可以省略，其他的均不可以省略，故选B项。]
10．C [在“特殊疑问词＋do you think/suppose/expect等＋陈述语序的内容”构成的特殊疑问句中，do you think/suppose/expect为插入语，其前为特殊疑问词，但其后的内容要用陈述语序，故选C项。]
Ⅳ.1.A [由文章第一段可知本文主要告诉我们怎样用电子邮件正确表达自己的意思。]
2．B [文中提到我们对于在因特网上透露太多个人信息也要小心谨慎(beware)。]
3．A [在不必要处使用大写字母是电邮版的大叫，即“this is the e－mail version of shouting.” yelling即shouting。]
4．C [在朋友之间用有趣好玩的邮件地址是可以的，但是在给招聘方或招生负责人发邮件时使用这样的地址会给对方留下不好的印象。]
