16 April 2003
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about a recent stay at your hotel, The Grand. My wife and I arrived on 21st March and stayed for two nights.
(1) {A; B; C; D} we waited twenty minutes at reception (2) {A; B; C; D}there was nobody at the desk. (3) {A; B; C; D} we waited a further twenty minutes because the receptionist could not find our booking. (4) {A; B; C; D} our luggage was left unattended in reception for three hours until we finally took it to our room ourselves.
Our room was not available immediately when we arrived. (5) {A; B; C; D} we had to wait another hour before we could go to the room. When we saw the room, it had two single beds and we had asked for a double bed, (6) {A; B; C; D} we had to change it. Unfortunately the second room was on the top floor and the lift was out of order. And (7) {A; B; C; D} we had asked for a room with a sea view, it was facing the road.
Although the food in the restaurant was quite good, we were unhappy with the service we received. We had booked an evening meal inclusive in the price of the room. (8) {A; B; C; D} we did not take money to the dining room and then discovered that we had to pay for the wine immediately. Unfortunately, the waiters were rude and unhelpful. (9) {A; B; C; D} the manager did agree that we could pay the wine bill in the morning.
(10) {A; B; C; D}I was most dissatisfied with the entire experience and I expect full compensation for the inconvenience caused.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Arthur Mullard

“题目：TINY TONGA LAUNCHES SPACE TOURISM PLAN
The tiny (1){A; B; C; D} South Pacific state of Tonga has always had serious problems (2){A; B; C; D} money, and so it has always been entrepreneurial. It has sold Tongan passports (3){A; B; C; D} Hong Kong businessmen; it sold possible satellite broadcasting locations in space; it even officially changed to a different time zone to be the first country to welcome the new millennium.
Now Tonga’s latest (4){A; B; C; D} venture is a plan to become the world centre of space tourism. The Tonga government has made an agreement with a US company to allow it to use one of its 170 islands to launch rockets that will take tourists on week-long trips into space at a cost of US$2 million each.
For this price, space tourists receive (5){A; B; C; D} training in a ‘resort setting’, followed by the holiday of a lifetime orbiting the Earth. Two astronaut pilots and four astronaut tourists will (6){A; B; C; D} the trip. However, sceptics say that these budgets are inadequate. Although they predict that space tourism will eventually bring an income of US$10 – 20 billion a year, they calculate that the budget of $8 million per trip will not be enough to pay (7){A; B; C; D} the required technology.
Comparison with the current space tourism programme suggests this maths may be accurate. To ride the Russian _Soyuz_ (the only tourist ride currently available) costs more than US$20 million per person. However, other people, including one important ex-cosmonaut , criticise the Russian government (8){A; B; C; D} raising money in this way, even though it uses the money for the space programme. In the ex-cosmonaut’s (9){A; B; C; D}, it uses up Russia’s agreed quota of space missions without achieving anything. He also believes that these (10){A; B; C; D} tourists would be a danger in a difficult or life-threatening crisis in space.

“题目：A recent survey has revealed that the country with the shortest holidays and the longest working hours in Europe is the UK. In the UK, a worker puts in over 43.6 hours a week on average – far higher than any other European country. The average in the European Union (EU) is around 40 hours a week. Astonishingly, in the UK, one in ten workers spends more than 61 hours a week at work. In addition, a British worker only has 20 days’ holiday a year.
Interestingly, however, despite the fact that the British have the shortest holidays and the longest working hours in the EU, the UK’s GDP per worker is one of the lowest in Europe.
Mediterranean countries like Spain, Portugal, Greece and Italy have some of the longest holidays in Europe, ranging from 33 to 36 days. Although Austria has the longest holiday time of all in Europe (38 days on average), it has an above-average GDP per worker.

“题目：As our cell phones get smarter, smaller and faster, and enable users to connect at high speeds to the Internet, an obvious question arises: is the mobile handset turning into the next computer? In one sense, it already has. Today’s most complicated mobile phones have the processing power of a mid-1990s PC while using 100 times less electricity. And more and more of today’s mobile phones have computer-like features, allowing their owners to send e-mails, browse (浏览) the Web and even take photos; 84 million mobile phones with digital cameras were shipped last year. We ask the question whether mobile phones will ever overshadow or replace the PC, and the issue suddenly becomes questionable. PC supporters say mobile phones are too small and connect too slowly to the Internet to become effective at tasks now performed on the large screens and keyboards of today’s computers. Fans of the mobile phones respond: just wait. Coming techniques will solve the limitation of the mobile phone. “One day, two or three billion people will have cell phones, and they are not going to have PCs,” says one inventor of the smart phone and the chief technology officer of an important smart phone company. “The mobile phone will become their digital life.”
The inventor’s newest product, the shiny, slim pocket-size cell phone, has a tiny keyboard, a built-in digital camera and narrow openings for added memory. The smart phone market makes up only five percent of overall mobile phone sales today, but the figure has been doubling each year. In the United States, it’s the business crowd that’s primarily buying these handsets. “What makes the smart phone so much better than the computer is that it’s always with you, always up and always ready,” says one of them, who works in an 80-member law firm, which recently started giving its lawyers smart phones instead of laptops.

The author believes that the mobile phone has already turned into the next computer to some extent, since {A; B; C; D} .

B. more and more of today’s mobile phones have computer-like features
C. 84 million mobile phones with digital cameras were shipped last year
D. cell phones get smarter, smaller and faster, and enable users to connect at high speeds to the Internet
2. PC supporters believe that {A; B; C; D} in the future.
A. computers will work more effectively at tasks
B. computers will perform better with large screens and keyboards
C. mobile phones are too small to be compared with computers
D. mobile phones will not replace the computer
3. Fans of the mobile phones think {A; B; C; D} in the future.
A. they have to wait to see what happens
B. two or three billion people will have cell phones
C. new techniques will solve the limitations of the mobile phone
D. the mobile phone will become their digital life
4. In the sentence of the second paragraph, “…but the figure has been doubling each year”, the word “figure” refers to {A; B; C; D}.
A. the five percent of the overall mobile phone’s market share
B. a mobile phone’s using 100 times less electricity than a mid-1990s PC
C. the number of two or three billion people who are not going to have PCs
D. the inventor’s newest product, the shiny, slim pocket-size cell phone
5. InAmerica, the main buyers of the smart phones are {A; B; C; D}.
A. fans of mobile phones
B. ordinary crowd

“题目：Between the wars, the name of Croydon was famous worldwide because it held the promise of glamour and romance. The reason was the presence of CroydonAirport: the stepping-off point to Europe and the world for those few who could afford air travel. It was the centre of the British Empire’s airmail services, and the start or finish of many heroic long-distance flights. Croydon was the world’s first international airport.
HISTORY
At the end of the First World War, the decision was taken to combine two military airfields, and to make them the “Air Port of London” – the capital’s official customs arrival or departure point for all international flights.
When the airport opened in 1920, scheduled flights were introduced, carrying passengers, mail and freight to Paris, Amsterdam and Rotterdam, and from 1923 to Berlin. Every effort was made to provide a luxurious standard of in-flight accommodation and entertainment. Passengers wearing evening-dress and ball gowns made the short flight to Paris: they danced and drank champagne during the trip.
Many of the aircraft themselves would be unrecognisable today. _Empire Flying Boats _offering luxurious travel and first class accommodation catered for the privileged few. There was plenty of space to relax during the many hours in the air, which was very important because trips to the furthest corners of Africa, India and the Far East were measured in days not hours.
Croydon witnessed many of the early landmarks of international flight. Croydon airport finally closed in 1959 – it was unable to expand enough to cope with the massive growth in air travel after the Second World War.
Today you can visit Croydon airport and relive the romance and excitement of the early days of air travel. You can board an_ Empire Flying Boat _standing majestically in open fields and you can eat a meal cooked in the style of that day. You can even operate the old air traffic control machines from the top of the original control tower.

“题目：CHINA IN SPACE
Since the time when Chairman Mao said,”China cannot even put a potato in space, “things have changed considerably. First, in 1961, the Russians gave us the word ”cosmonaut”, and then the word astronaut followed from the USA; when China completed its first manned mission, the world was given the word “taikonaut”.
China had launched a number of satellites before October 2003 when the first manned spaceship was launched, powered by the Long March 2F rocket. The spacecraft Shenzhou V, carrying Cononel Yang Liwei, orbited the Earth 14 times in a mission that lasted 21 hours. The spacecraft was launched from the JiuquanSpaceCenter in GansuProvince and made a perfect landing in Inner Mongolia. “I have seen many landings before and I think that ours has been one of the most successful,” said Cononel Yang. The 38-year-old taikonaunt had been taking part in the strenuous space training programme for five years. His schedule partly carried out in Russia, took all his time.”I haven’t been able to take my son to kindergarten”, he said,”and I have never met my son’s teachers.”
The launch was one of a series in a space programme that is aiming to make China one of the world leaders. “We are looking at a range of possibilities. China is expected to complete its first exploration of the moon in 2010.We will establish bases there just as we did at the North and South Poles,” said Ouyang Ziyuan, head of the moon exploration programme,” and we won’t rule out assistance from outside.”
We can expect China to send more taikonauts into space in future years.

B. in October 2003
C. after October 2003

3. The word “orbit” in Para 2 means “{A; B; C; D}”.
A. to move around

“题目：I used to think education was the most important thing in my life. Recently my attitude has begun to change, although I still hold that it is essential for everyone in the world today. As a top junior student in my college, I was asked to make a speech on how to learn English well. Standing in front of the audience facing so many freshmen, I was trembling. I didn’t remember any word that I had prepared. I ran out of the conference room without finishing my speech, leaving everyone puzzled. I cried that night in my room, feeling that I was a loser. Studying takes so much of my time that I feel unable to really develop myself. I am just storing knowledge; yet fail to communicate with others. I have received many awards in school, but they don’t necessarily reflect anything about me. I don’t know how to socialize. When I leave school I fear I will be of no use to society.
I realize that everyone has her or his own way of living. I want to change my lifestyle. Of course I will keep studying. Yet I plan to look for a part time job, which might turn out to be a good chance to get to know society. I still believe that working my hardest does make me happy. I will still stay on in college, but I will not allow it to shelter me from the real world.
