I fix (修理) computers for most of my friends. One morning, a friend came for help. What surprised me
was that she completely disassembled (拆解) not one but two of her computers because they couldn’t
connect to the Internet.
I thought I was going to receive two computers, but I was completely wrong. What I was given was a
huge box full of parts. I had no idea why she did all of this, but she said she just got crazy and didn’t stop
until every single part was taken apart.
My friend then told me that she didn’t need two computers, so if I just made one computer out of the
box of parts, she would give me one of her LCD monitors.
Nine hours later, I had one fully-functional computer. Actually it wouldn’t have taken that long, but the
situation (情况)was so funny that some time when I tried to put the parts together, I laughed too hard to do
anything.
Finally my friend left one monitor for me, and took away her computer. It gave me a feeling of

Henry Ford was born on July 30, 1863 in Michigan. At an early age, he showed an interest in
mechanical(机械的) things. In 1879, sixteen-year-old Ford left home for the nearby city of Detroit to work.In 1891, Ford became an engineer with the Edison Illuminating Company of Detroit. Then, he became
the Chief Engineer in 1893. This gave him enough time and money to pay attention to his personal
experiments(实验).
Henry Ford realized his dream of producing a car with the model T(T型车)in1908. This car started a
new era(时代)in personal transportation. It was easy to operate, and immediately became a huge success.
By 1918, half of all cars in America were Model Ts. To meet the growing need for the Model T, Ford’s
company opened a large factory. In this factory workers worked at the same place all the time. A belt sent the
parts of the cars to workers. They added one part to each car as it moved past them on the line. The
introduction of the moving assembly line(装配线) greatly improved production of cars and cut down the
costs. Ford’s production of Model Ts made his company the largest car company in the world.
The company began building the world’s largest industrial center along the banks of the Rouge River
during the late 1910s and early 1920s. By September 1927, all steps in the producing process took place at
the vast Rouge Plant, characterizing Henry Ford’s idea of mass production(大批量生产).

A. It was produced in 1980. B. Few people liked driving it.
C. People found it hard to operate it. D. It made Henry Ford’s dream come true.
( ) 18. Why did the company open a large factory?
A. To offer more job chances. B. To make the new cars cheaper.
C. To meet the need of for Model Ts. D. To make the production easier.
( ) 19. Which of the following could be the possible result of mass production?
A. Ford Ts got smaller than before. B. Ford Ts became faster than before.
C. Ford Ts became cheaper than before. D. Ford Ts were not as popular as before.

As the epidemic (疫情) keeps improving, life in China is slowly returning to normal, and people have
once again started travelling.
From Shanghai to Anhui Province, main places of interest in China welcomed thousands of visitors
during a weekend. At the end of March, a travel survey(调查) found that 16% of 15, 000 people across 100cities in China would be ready to travel in May. However, most of the people, about 90%, would only
choose to travel across the country.
According to the survey, about 61% of Chinese travelers said that they were going to travel again by
August. Another small survey of 1, 000 people got some results similar to the first survey’s.
In this survey, about 77% of those people said that they would choose to stay in China for their first trip
after the epidemic.
Since the epidemic is getting worse and worse in some other countries, international air travel has
nearly stopped. It’s hardly surprising that many Chinese travelers would choose to travel at home because
China has successfully got the epidemic under control.
Also, the two surveys showed that most travelers were pretty serious about the safety and comfort on
their trips. “Travelers always want to feel safe and hope there is no virus at each touching point along the
journey,” a survey leader said.
( ) 21. What CANNOT we learn about the first survey?
A. People did it in late March. B. People did it on a weekend.
C. Only people in China took part in it. D. More than 10 thousand people took part in it.
( ) 22. In the second survey, how many people said that they would travel somewhere in China?
A. About 610. B. About 770. C. About 13,500. D. About 14,270.
( ) 23.What’ s the main purpose(目的) of the fourth paragraph?
A. To describe how serious the epidemic is abroad.
B. To introduce different situations of the epidemic.
C. To explain why people would choose to travel across China.
D. To show how bad the epidemic is for the international trave.
( ) 24. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The two surveys came out at the same time.
B People all across China joined in the first survey.
C. Most people in the two surveys planned to travel in May.
D. About 9, 150 people in the first survey would travel by August.
( ) 25. In which part of a newspaper can we read this passage most probably?
A. Travel. B. Food. C. Health. D. Sports.

On my thirteenth birthday, I got the best present in my life – a computer from my father. It is black with
a white logo in the middle of the cover. It is very thin and has a 14-inch screen. With a large memory, it can
store a lot of documents, pictures and videos.
The computer is amazing. However, my father doesn’t allow me to use it for a long time. I usually use
it when I need to search for some information about my homework. When the weekend comes, I can play
games on it for an hour. Sometimes, I watch a movie or listen to some music on it to relax myself.
I think the computer is very useful in my life. I will surely cherish the wonderful present forever.
