It’s a great meal in a peaceful setting that everyone will be sure to remember.‎ Liholiho Yacht Club ‎ Nob Hill ‎ ‎871 Sutter St.‎ Telephone: (415)440-5446‎ Sometimes, dinner with the parents can be a little bit self-serving. Like making a reservation at the place you’ve been dying to go to for months. They’ll enjoy Liholiho’s fine design and the creative dishes like togarashi popcorn (托加林爆米花) and roasted octopus (章鱼). You’ll have a delicious dinner and catch up with your parents – two birds, one stone.‎ Mason Pacific Nob Hill ‎1358 Mason St.‎ Telephone(415) 374-7185‎ If your parents enjoy a classic dining experience, this tiny American restaurant is a bit fancy, but the food is just as good as the atmosphere.

At the time, the government was looking for a way to reduce traffic problems in the city of London. The poor areas of the city were so crowded with people that it was almost impossible for horse carriages to get through. The city officials were interested in trying to make it possible for workers to live outside of London and travel easily to work each day. If people had a cheap and convenient way that they could depend on to go to and from work, they would relocate their homes outside of the city. This would help ease the pressure of too many people living in the poor parts of London. From these problems, the idea of the London Underground, the first subway system, was born. The plans for building the Underground met with several problems and delays, but the fast track was finally opened in January 1863. A steam train pulled the cars along the fast underground track which was 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) long. About 30,000 people got on the subway the first day. Riders were treated to comfortable seats (standing up while the train was moving was not allowed), and pleasant decorations inside each of the cars. However, the smoke from the engine soon filled the air in the tunnels with ash and soot(煤灰), as well as chemical gases. Fans had to be put in the tunnels later to keep the air clean enough for people to breathe. Even with its problems, riding in the Underground did catch on. It carried 9 million riders in its first year.‎ ‎24. What led the British government to build the London Underground? A. Traffic jams and pollution. B. Population and ‎ pollution. C. Overcrowding and traffic jams. D. The poverty and subway problems.‎ ‎25.How did the London Underground solve the smoke problem? A. It made the tunnels larger. B. It put fans in the tunnels. C. It cleaned the chemical gases in the tunnels. D. It reduced the number of passengers riding in the train.‎ ‎26.The underlined phrase “catch on” most probably means “______”. A. be troublesome B. become popular and fashionable C. keep up with D. seize ‎27. Which of the following is TRUE? A. To relocate the workers’ homes outside London, the government built the subway. B. There were so many problems and delays that in 18th century the first subway opened. C. The subway greatly eased the pressure of traffic. D. There were not enough seats for the passengers the first day the subway opened.‎ C Do you always read newspapers over breakfast? If so, unfortunately sometime in the next century, the familiar early-newspaper on the front porch (门廊) will disappear. And instead of reading your newspaper, it will read to you. You'll get up and turn on the computer newspaper just like switching on the TV. An electronic voice will distribute stories about the latest events, guided by a program that selects the type of news you want. You'll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Want more information on this brief story? A simple touch makes the entire text appear. Save it in your own personal computer if you like. These are among the predictions from communication experts working on the newspapers of the future. Pictured as part of broader home-based media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers will unite print and broadcast reporting, and offer news and analysis with video images of news events. ‎ Most of the technology is available now, but convincing more people that they don't need to read a newspaper is the next step. But resistance to computer newspapers may be stronger from within journalism. Since it is such a cultural change, it may be that the present generation of journalists and publishers will have to die off before the next generation realizes that the newspaper industry is no longer a newspaper industry. Technology is making the end of traditional newspapers unavoidable. ‎ Despite technological advances, it could take decades to replace newsprint with computer screens. It might take 30 to 40 years to complete the changeover because people need to buy computers and because newspapers have established financial interests in the paper industry. 28. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of computer newspapers? A. They are cheaper than traditional newspapers. B. They are more convenient to read. C. You can choose the kind of voice you want to hear. D. You can easily save information for future use. 29. It can be inferred that journalists are against computer newspapers because______. A. they don't know how to use computers B. they think computer newspapers take too much time to read C. they think the new technology is bad D. they have been trained to write for traditional newspapers 30. We can infer from the passage that ______. A. all technological changes are good B. new technologies don't always replace old ones C. new technologies will eventually replace old ones D. traditional newspapers are here to stay for another century 31. What is the best title of the passage? ‎ ‎ A. Computer newspapers are well liked. B. Newspapers of the future will be on the computer. C. Newspapers are out of fashion. D. New communications technology.‎ D Electronic equipment is more harmful than you thought. According to the latest study, the regular use of text messages and e-mails can lower the IQ more than twice as much as smoking marijuana (大麻). That is the statement of researchers who have found that tapping away on a mobile phone or computer keypad or checking for electronic messages temporarily knocks up to 10 points off the user’s IQ. This rate of decline in intelligence compares unfavorably with the four-point drop in IQ associated with smoking marijuana, according to British researchers, who have described the phenomenon of improved stupidity as “infomania”. The research conducted by Hewlett Packard, the technology company, has concluded that it is mainly a problem for adult workers, especially men. ‎ It is concluded that too much use of modern technology can damage a person’s mind. It can cause a constant distraction of “always on” technology when employees should be concentrating on what they are paid to do. Infomania means that they lose concentration as their minds remain fixed in an almost permanent state of readiness to react to technology instead of focusing on the task in hand. The report also added that, in a long term, the brain will be considerably shaped by what we do to it and by the experience of daily life. At a microcellular (微细胞) level, the complex networks of nerve cells that make up parts of the brain actually change in response to certain experiences. ‎ Too much use of modern technology can be damaging not only to a person’s mind, but to their social relationship. 1100 adults were interviewed during the research. More than 62 percent of them admitted that they were addicted to checking their e-mails and text messages so often that they scrutinized work-related ones even when at home or on holiday. Half said that they always responded immediately to an email and will even interrupt a meeting to do so. It is concluded that infomania is increasing stress and anxiety and affecting one’s characteristics. Nine out of ten thought that colleagues who answered e-mails or messages during a face-to-face meeting were extremely rude. ‎ The effects on IQ were studied by Dr Glenn Wilson, a psychologist at University of London. “This is a very real and widespread phenomenon,” he said. “We have found that infomania will damage a worker’s performance by reducing their mental sharpness and changing their social life. Companies should encourage a more balanced and appropriate way of working.”‎ 32. We can learn from the passage that “infomania” ______. A. has a positive influence on one’s IQ B. results in the change of part of the brain C. lies in the problem of lack of concentration D. is caused by too much use of modern technology 33. The research mentioned in the passage is most probably about ______. A. the important function of advanced technology ‎ B. the damage to one’s brain done by unhealthy habits C. the relevance between IQ and use of modern technology ‎ D. the relationship between intelligence and working effectiveness ‎34. The underlined word “scrutinized” probably means “______”. A. examined carefully B. copied patiently C. corrected quickly D. admitted freely ‎35. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? ‎ ‎(CP: central point; P: point; Sp: supporting point; C: conclusion.)‎ A. B. C. D. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ The world will be less colorful without good eyesight which plays a very important role in our daily life. Every waking moment, the eyes are working to see the world around us. Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight, but it's easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes. Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight:‎ ‎    ● Schedule yearly exams. 36 . Experts advise parents to bring babies 6 to 12 months of age to the doctor for a careful check. The good news is that millions of children now can have yearly eye exams and following treatment, including eyeglasses.‎ ‎    ● Protect against UV rays (紫外线). Long-term stay in the sun creates risk to your eyes. No matter what the season is, it's extremely important to wear sunglasses. 37 .‎ ‎    ● Give your eyes a break. Two-thirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day using computers or other digital products. 38 . Experts recommend that people practice the 20/20/20 rule: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away.‎ ‎    ● 39 . As part of a healthy diet, eat more fruits and vegetables each day. Vitamins (维生素) C and E help protect eyesight and promote eye health.‎ ‎    ● Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses (隐形眼镜). Many Americans use contact lenses to improve their eyesight. While some follow the medical guidance for wearing contact lenses, many are breaking the rules and putting their eyesight at risk. 40 . Otherwise, you may have problems such as red eyes, pain in the eyes, or a more serious condition.‎ A. Eat your greens ‎ B. Eye care should begin early in life C. They can properly protect your eyes ‎ D. Stay in good shape by taking more vitamins E. Parents usually don’t care about their own eyesight ‎ F. Always follow the doctor’s advice for appropriate wear G. This frequent eye activity increases the risk for eye tiredness 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分) ‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20题，每小题 1.5分，共30分） ‎ Today, I want to share my favorite story to encourage you.
