第四部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
A
Thousands of people began pouring into Pennsylvan ia from other states. They wanted to buy lottery tickets (彩票). The tickets cost only $ 0.9 each. But that small spending could bring them a reward of $ 90 million .That was the second largest lottery jackpot (积累奖金) in history .
More than 87 million tickets were bought for the Pennsylvania lottery drawing. Those who bought tickets had to choose seven numbers from 1 to 80.The chance of winning was one in 9.6 million, but that little chance certainly didn’t affect ticket sales. In the last few days before the drawing , tickets were sold at the unbelievable rate of 500 per second .
Experts say many people buy lottery tickets because they just want to have a piece of the action . Others say the lottery is a stock market for poor people. It allows them to dream about wealth they’ll probably never have.
But many people believe lotteries are no better than legalized (合法化的) gambling . Some critics note that most people who play are poor and may not be able to afford the tickets. There are also many addicts who take the game seriously. They may pour their life savings into lottery tickets. Some clubs have been formed to help them kick the habit. Politicians like lotteries because they provide money that would otherwise have to come from new taxes. The profits from lotteries are usually used to pay for education or programs for senior citizens. But critics say this arrangement just allows states to legalize vice (恶习), under the name of social progress . No matter whether you regard state lotteries right or not, you cannot refuse to accept their extreme popularity with many Americans.
61.They main idea of the passage is that __________.
A.lotteries are of great benefit to everyone who buys them
B.playing a lottery is just like investing in the stock market
C. many people buy lottery tickets , but lotteries cause disagreement
D.lotteries are nothing but legalized vice
62.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Politicians like lotteries because they don’t have to pay extra taxes.
B.The popularity of lotteries in America actually is social progress.
C.Some critics don’t like lotteries because many poor people waste money on
them.
D.People love the lottery because it is a stock market.
63.In just one hour in the last few days, the Pennsylvania lottery sold tickets totaling_______.
A.$ 1.62 million B.$ 1.82 million
C.$ 9.6 million D.$ 87 million

The idea of micropayments--- charging Web users tiny amounts of money for single pieces of online content--- was basically put to sleep toward the end of the dot-com boom. In December 2000, Clay Shirky, a professor in New York University’s interactive telecommunications program (电信交互程序), wrote a manifesto (宣言) that people still quote whenever someone suggests using the idea. “Micropayments will never work,” he wrote, mainly because “users hate them.”
But wait. Without many people noticing, micropayments have arrived--- just not in the way they were originally imagined. The 99 cents you pay for a song on the Internet is a micropayment. So are the tiny amounts that some operators of small web sites can earn whenever someone clicks on the ads on their pages. Some stock-photography companies sell pictures for as little as $1 each.
“Micropayments are here” said Benjamin M. Companie, a lecturer at Northeastern University, “they just have not developed in the way that everybody expected.”
From the earliest days of the Web until around the time of Mr Shirky’s manifesto, the expectation was that a handful of companies would provide platforms---or perhaps a single platform--- that would enable Web users to pay a penny or a dollar for a bit of content such as a newspaper article, or a research report. Simply clicking a link would complete the transaction (转换).
Sellers of content--- at the time, newspaper companies---were among the most interested in the idea as they looked for tax income that didn’t depend on advertising.
69.According to the first paragraph, we can infer that ________.
A.people once failed to charge Web users
B.all the Internet companies can’t earn profit
C.it’s difficult for Web users to pay online
D.micropayment costs people too much
70.Mr. Shirky predicted that ________.
A.companies on the Internet would earn a lot of money
B.Web users would never pay for the websites
C.it was impossible to visit websites for free
D.all the companies on the Internet would go bankrupt (破产).
71.You will have to pay for it, if you ________.
A.visit some famous websites
B.read latest news on the internet
C.advertise for your products on some websites
D.download your favorite songs
72.What is expected by the sellers of content on the Internet?
A.Better attitude from Web users.
B.Understanding from Web users.
C.A platform to help them realize micropayment.
D.More and more Web users.

Many people will remember the flight of the space shuttle (航天飞机) Challenger, in June, 1983.The achievement of Sally Ride, America’s first woman astronaut to fly into space, made this flight especially memorable. Students from two Camden, New Jersey, high schools, however, are probably to remember Norma rather than Sally whenever they think about the flight.
Norma didn’t travel alone. She brought about 100 companions along with her. Norma was an ant, a queen ant who, with her subject, made up the first ant colony (群体) to travel into space. The ants were part of a science experiment designed by students to test the effects of weightlessness on insects.
The equipment designed by the students for their colony functioned perfectly throughout the long space trip. The young scientists and their teachers were very sad to find that their insect astronauts had all died at some point before the container was returned to the school and opened. The problem didn’t occur in space, but on the ground after challenger had landed. The container remained in the desert for nearly a week before the ant colony was moved. The hot, dry desert air dried out the colony’s container and the ants died from lack of moisture (水分).
The project was termed success because it did provide useful information. Students will continue their efforts to pinpoint (精确找到) what went wrong. They will try to prevent the same difficulties from reoccurring on future missions. They don’t want to be discouraged either by the demise of the ants or by the $10,000 shuttle fare they will have to pay to send the next colony of ants into space.
73.What does the passage mainly tell us?
A.Sally Ride, America’s first woman astronaut.
B.How to keep ants alive in space.
C.How to make equipment for insects in space.
D.An experiment with ants in space.
74.According to the passage, we know that the underlined word “demise” is another word for “__________”.
A.death B.colony C.insect D.moisture
75.We don’t think the project was a failure. This is because _________.
A.everything went as smoothly as expected
B.the students had pinpointed exactly the reason
C.something important had been learned
D.the students had succeeded in the experiment
76.We can conclude that ants __________ on the next space trip.
A.will have to be kept alive in a container full of water
B.will have to be sent into space with the first woman astronaut
C.should be put into a container where there is enough food
D.should be put into a container which is not too dry

America’s No.1 health problem? A report published by the American Institute of Stress claims the biggest threat to health today is neither cancer nor AIDS. The report says: “It has been estimated that 75—90 percent of all visits to primary care physicians are for stress related problems.”
It is no exaggeration to say that people today are being attacked by stress. According to the National Consumers League, “Work is the top source of stress for adults who have problems and stress in their lives (39%), followed by family (30%). Other sources include health (10%), concern about the economy (9%) and concern about international conflict and terrorism (4%).”
However, stress is hardly unique to the United States. A British survey in 2005 estimated that “over half a million individuals in Britain believed in 2004 that they were experiencing work-related stress at a level that was making them ill.” As a result of “work-related stress, depression or anxiety,” there are “an estimated thirteen and a half million reported lost working days per year in Britain.”
The picture is no less bleak (荒凉的) in mainland Europe. According to the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, “work-related stress has been shown to affect millions of European workers across all types of employment sectors.” One survey revealed that there are “about 41 million workers affected by work-related stress each year.”
What about Asia? A report issued by a conference held in Tokyo concluded: “Job stress is a common concern among many countries in the world, both developing and industrialized countries.” The report observed that “several countries in East Asia, including China and Korea, have rapidly industrialized and economically grown. These countries now have a lot of concerns on job stress and its harmful effects on workers’ health.”
77.The author quoted “America’s No.1 Health Problem.” (Para. 1) in order to ______.
A.talk about health problems in America
B.introduce the topic of stress
C.emphasize the stress in America
D.tell readers something about American Institute of Stress
78.Which of the followings is NOT true?
A.The threat of stress is bigger than cancer and AIDS.
B.Stress is always from working and living pressure.
C.Some of Americans care about international conflict and terrorism.
D.A lot of English people become ill as a result of stress.
79.We can infer from the last paragraph that ______.
A.Asian people are more willing to develop their countries
B.the rapid economic development is the main reason for stress
C.some people in Asian countries have health problems from employment stress
D.Asian countries have a better situation of stress than Europe
80.What’s the best title for this passage?
A.America’s No.1 Health Problem
B.Working Stress around the World
C.How to Deal with Stress
D.Attacked by Stress
