18、). In many ways, a diary and a blog are very 37 .So, what makes blogging different from writing in a(n) 38 diary?The biggest difference is that blogging is much more 39 than a diary.

27、hingtonOne day he went to a dentist(牙医) and had six teeth pulled outA week later the general heard that his teeth were being sold in shops at $5 eachOn each of the teeth there was a label with the name of the general and words: “buy these teeth and show them to your friends at home” The general got

28、angryHe rushed to his office and ordered six officers to go around the city and buy all his teethThe officers went out and visited every shop in the capitalThey were away from the office all dayIn the evening they returned and put on the table in front of the general the teeth they had boughtThey ha

31、re moneyDthe general was from a bank.BDo you feel a little sleepy after lunch? Well, thats normal. Your body naturally slows down then. What should you do about it? Dont reach for a coffee! Instead, take a nap(小睡). There are many benefits of a daily nap. First of all, you are more efficient after na

32、pping. You remember things better and make fewer mistakes. Also, you can learn things more easily after taking a nap. A 20-minute nap can reduce information overload. It can also reduce stress. Finally, a nap may increase your self-confidence and make you more alert. It may even cheer you up.But, th

33、ere are some simple rules you should follow about taking a nap. First, take a nap in the middle of the day, about eight hours after you wake up. Otherwise, you may disturb your sleep-wake pattern. Next, a 20-minute nap is best. If you sleep longer, you may fall into a deep sleep. After waking from a

34、 deep sleep, you will feel worse. Also, you should set an alarm clock. That way, you can fully relax during your nap. You wont have to keep looking at the clock so that you dont oversleep.Now, the next time you feel sleepy after lunch, dont get stressed. Put your head down, close your eyes, and have

35、 forty winks.60. What is a good rule for taking a nap?A. Use an alarm clock.B. Nap eight hours after waking up.C. Sleep for about half an hour.D. All of the above61. According to the passage, what is NOT a benefit of napping?A. It makes you stronger B. It makes you feel happierC. It gives you more s

36、elf-confidence D. It improves your memory 62. Which may happen if an alarm clock is not used?A. You may relax more. B. You may feel too nervous to relax.C. You may forget an important meeting. D. You may not reduce your napping time. 63. In the last paragraph, “have forty winks” can be replaced by “

37、_”.A. do eye-protection exercisesB. close your eyes for forty timesC. have a short sleep during the daytimeD. pretend to have a quick nap after lunchC What will man be like in the futurein 5, 000 or even 50, 000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be

38、different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time. Let us take an obvious example. Man, even 500 years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. 500 years is a relatively(相对的) short period of time, so we may assume that man will con

39、tinue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity（能力）. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and at last we shall need larger ones! This is likely to lead to a physic

40、al(身体上的) change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger. Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that mans eyes will grow stronger. On the

41、other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life. But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in t

42、he course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald（秃顶的）. Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes,

43、 future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being with thoughts and emotions similar to our own. 64. The passage mainly tells us that_ . A. mans life will be different in the futureB. what will man look like in the futureC. man is growing taller and uglier as time p

44、assesD. humans organs functions will become weak65. The change in mans size of forehead will probably be larger because_ . A. he makes use only 20% of the brains capacityB. his brain has grown larger over the past centuriesC. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due timeD. he will use his brain m

45、ore and more as time goes on66. What will be TRUE about a human being in the future? A. He will be hairless because hair is no longer useful. B. He will have smaller eyes and will wear better glasses. C. His fingers will grow weaker because he wont have to make use of them. D. He will think and feel

46、 in a different way. 67. It is implied（暗示）that_ . A. human beings will become more attractive in the futureB. less use of a bodily organ(器官)may lead to its degeneration(退化)C. men will have no hair but women will have.D. future life will not be the same as we live now.DThese days, if you still think

47、the cell phone is just for talking, you will get laughed at. Yes, its true, voice-only handsets have become out of date. Todays do-it-all mobiles have a lot in common with the computer. The only difference may be that they fit in your pocket and you pay by the minutes to use them. Some of the things

48、 a cell phone can do for you will be available this year:Surf at speedCell pones that let you use the Web have been around for years. So, whats new? Well, faster third-generation (3G) net works let you surf at anywhere. This then allows a carrier to send video, music, and games to your phone. Possib

49、le choices are from LG Electronic VX 8000 and Motorola V 1150.Listen as you goThe problem with most cell phone MP3 players is that they hold only a handful of songs. But, thats about to change. Sony Ericssons new W800i can hold around 150 songs in its 500 MB memory. And Sumsungs SPH-V5400 even comes

50、 with a 1.5 GB hard drive. Mobile phones may eventually replace mini-MP3 players, especially for teens.Say cheeseCamera cell phones are not new either. But, most of them have limitations: around 1-megapixel(百万像素). But new technology has made 2-megapixel units more common and 3-megapixel units are sh

51、owing up soon. Some 2-megapixel models, like Sony Ericssons K750i, offer limited zoom and focus controls. Others, like LGs recent MMA7110, can even capture 30 minutes of full- motion video.Portable TVYou say you like “watching TV”? Thats what Sumsung MM-A700 wants to give you. The new model lets use

75、t are worth waiting for.(Text 10)My name is Jenny Barker, and I work at St.James Hospital. Im here today to talk about the blood transfusion. Often, if a person loses a lot of blood; this is the time when a blood transfusion is needed. This simply means taking blood from another person and putting i

76、t into the patients body. Doctors have been carrying out blood transfusions for hundreds of years. At first, they used blood from sheep, but that wasnt very successful. It wasnt until the last century that the doctors realized there are several types of blood and that the correct type must always be

77、 used. Then they knew that blood transfusions became almost a hundred percent successful. So, you might be thinking,” What does this have to do with me?”Well, it has something to do with all of us. Hospitals need to keep back the blood ready for transfusions. The only way they can get that blood is

78、from ordinary people like you. Every human being has five liters of blood and we take 0.5 liters from each person. This is completely safe. In fact, your body will make enough blood to replace it after only a day. Giving blood only takes a short while and it doesnt hurt. It costs you nothing but can save a life.
