A

Brian and I were a few months into our relationship and I still hadn’t cooked for him. He was a skillful cook and the thought of preparing a meal for him made me feel worried. Finally, one day I decided that I would make dinner for him Saturday night. I bought an Italian cookbook.

Saturday afternoon I made the filling first. There was no problem. Next, I started with an egg in the well of some flour, and the mixture changed into a mound of dough (面团). I began to feel good about myself.

I glanced around the kitchen, looking for a rolling pin. My eyes lit on a bottle of wine I had bought to go with dinner. Not as good as a pin, but it would do. I rolled as best as I could, and then cut the dough with a knife.

Just as I was finishing, the doorbell rang. I put the tortellini I made into the fridge and greeted Brian. He had brought along a bottle of wine and a rose to celebrate the evening.

The pot of water began to boil. Brian watched as I pulled the tortellini out of the fridge, and his eyes opened widely. “You made tortellini?” he asked.“By hand? I don’t even make that, and I have machines to do the job.”

I dropped the tortellini into the boiling water, and soon they were ready. Everything looked perfect. We sat down, and I watched as Brian put one in his mouth and chewed(嚼). And chewed. And chewed.

Then I tried one. It was very thick. I knew it was all over. Brian would just taste the food, and then leave early with a headache and disappear into the night.

But he ate them, admitting that they were a little thick, but really not bad.

36.What made the writer feel worried at the beginning of the story?

A. Making Brian a cook.

A. To show that he was pleased to have the tortellini.

B. To express his happiness to have the dinner.

C. To tell her that he’d remember the dinner.

D. To show that he was her good friend.

【正确答案】B

38.How did Brian feel when he saw what the writer had prepared?

A. Proud.

B. Curious.

C. Surprised.

D. Disappointed.

【正确答案】C

39.What did Brian do after he had the tortellini?

Thanks to Google, millions of Internet users are now swimming effortlessly in the information ocean. Internet users know that Google is a strong search engine that is designed to bring tons of information within their reach. Yet, few people make the most of Google, says computer scientist Nancy Blachman.

Blachman was introduced to Google in April 1999; her interest grew after working there for a few months. Before long, she was a Google fan. As Blachman studied the search engine, she became more and more skillful. Then, Jerry Peek suggested she write a Google guidebook. The idea interested her, and she began developing the website (网页), GoogleGuide.com. Since then, millions of people have used her website.

Blachman guides her online (在线) students through step?by?step lessons. Some lessons are for new Google users, but experienced users can also find lessons they need. One tip: if you aren’t sure whether a word has a hyphen (连字符), it is best to search with the hyphen—this way Google will look for the word with the hyphen, without the hyphen and written as two words. And another:users can ask Google not to do something by putting a hyphen before the word. For example, someone searching for“Dallas cowboys”,who does not want the football team, should enter“Dallas cowboys?football.”

Blachman says the website is her way of continuing teaching and helping people, which she enjoys. From 1990 to 1997, she taught courses at Stanford about mathematical software (软件). She also has written several books.“A lot of people see Google as easy to use, and it is easy to use, but I am trying to make it even easier.”

47.he purpose of the passage is __________.

A. to teach computer users how to develop a website

B. to teach computer users how to improve Google

C. to introduce one of the online dictionaries

D. to introduce Blachman and her website

【正确答案】D

48.What does Blachman think about Google users in general?

A. They don’t know how to make full use of Google.

B. They don’t know how to swim in an information ocean.

C. They have to take computer lessons to use Google.

D. They have to become a fan to be skillful Google users.

【正确答案】A

49.If users are not sure whether the word they search for has a hyphen, they should enter__________ .

A. the word with a hyphen

B. the word without a hyphen

C. two words rather than one

D. the same word twice

【正确答案】A

50.Which of the following is TRUE of the passage about Blachman?

A. She has been working to make Google easier to use.

B. She learned about Google from a guidebook.

C. She tries to persuade people to work for Google.

D. She became a Google fan after developing her website.

【正确答案】One possible version:

Dear John,

I’ve been in England for two weeks now. You must be eager to know what’s going on with me in your home country and how I feel about my stay here. I’m staying with an English family and spend a lot of time with them. They have a son of my age and very soon we become good friends. We talk about our school lives, and after?class activities too. By talking with him, I’ve improved my spoken English greatly. I’m sure you’ll find it when I’m back and see you again. The summer camp’s life is rich and colorful. We have a lot of activities, for example, visiting museums, playing football with the students here and having evening parties. I’ve learned a lot from these activities. I miss you very much and will write you more about my life here.

Best wishes,
