No wonder that some research findings indicate that consumers views the Internet as an “instrument of convenience”.

A．The reasonable price
B．The quality of the goods
C．The convenience it brings to you
D．The speed at which the goods are delivered to you
4、Passage One Questions are based on the following passage．
Thousands of years ago man used handy rocks for his surgical operations．Later he used sharp bone or horn,metal knives and more recently,rubber and plastic and that was where we stuck，in surgical instrument terms，for many years．In the l960s a new tool was developed，one which was，first of all，to be of great practical use to the armed forces and industry,but which was also，in time，to revolutionize the art and science of surgery, The tool is the laser and it is being used by more and more surgeons all over the world，for a very large number of different complaints．The word“laser”means：light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation．As we all know,light is hot，any source of light—from the sun itself down to a humble match burning—will give warmth．But light is usually spread out over a wide area．The Light in a laser beam，however，is concentrated．This means that a light with no more power than that produced by an ordinary electric light bulb becomes intensely strong as it is concentrated to a pinpoint-sized beam.
Experiments with these pinpoint beams showed researchers that different energy sources produce beams that have a particular effect on certain living cells．It is now possible for eye surgeons to operate on the back of human eye without harming the front of the eye，simply by passing a laser beam right though the eye-ball．No knives，no stitches，no unwanted damage—a true surgical wonder.Operations which once left patients exhausted and in need of long period of recovery time now leave them feeling relaxed and comfortable。So much more difficult operations can now be tried.
The rapid development of laser techniques in the past ten years has made it clear that the future is likely to be very exciting．Perhaps some cancers will be treated with laser in a way that makes surgery not only safer but also more effective．Altogether,tomorrow may see more and more information coming to light on the diseases which can be treated medically．
Which of the following is NOT a tool used for surgical operations before the 1960s?
A．Bone．
B．Metal knives．
C．Scissors．
D．Rubber and plastic．

5、Unit 3
Sophy Brent came to visit me nearly every day. She made me feel uneasy most of the time. She smoked 11 and never used an ashtray. She followed me into the kitchen while I made tea or coffee or supper and 12 herself to the children's orange juice. She made a great hit with my two-year-old daughter Flora, who would 13 about her for hours and refer to her lovingly as "sofa", and she was always talking about my husband and asking me where he was.
I could not decide why she chose my 14 , although I realized that nobody else paid her very much attention. Her situation was very difficult in that she was 15 out of drama school and only nineteen, but being 16 to play a leading part in a company of fairly 17 and experienced actors. They would not have liked her much even if she had been good, and as, from all accounts, she was not good so they took every 18 to run her down. I think she thought that I was the only person around who was both unconnected with the theatre and tolerably 19 . To associate with me was not, at any rate, to step down the scale. And for my part, although I felt troubled by her I did not dislike her. There was something genuinely outstanding in her personality, and she had such physical 20 that with me she could get away with anything. She was nice to have around, like flowers or a bowl of fruit.

8、Section C
Direction: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.
Since the dawn of history, men have gathered information and have attempted to pass it on to other men. The carving of word and pictures on the walls of 26 caves represents some of man’s earliest effort to 27 information. Evidently, these efforts were very simple and 28 .
But as civilization grew more complex, better methods of communication were needed. The written word, carrier pigeons, the telegraph and many other 29 carried ideas faster and faster from man to man but still not fast enough to 30 ever growing needs. In recent years, as men entered the information era, a new type of machine, the electronic computer, has 31 and has become 32 important in the lives of all people. With the 33 and development of computers, it is as if man has suddenly come upon Alading’s magic lamp.
Generally speaking, the basic job of computers is the processing of information. For this reason, computers can be 34 as devices which accept information, perform mathematical or logical operations with the input information, and then supply the results of these operations as new information.
Computers can work through a series of problems and make thousands of logical decisions without ever becoming tired. However, although computers can replace men in dull, routine tasks, they only work according to the instructions given them, in other words, they have to be programmed. Their achievements are not very impressive when 35 to what the minds of men can do.

Flying over a desert area in an airplane, two scientists looked down with trained eyes at trees and bushes. After an hour's 11 one of the scientists wrote in his book, "Look here for 12 metal. " Scientists in another airplane, flying over a mountain region, sent a 13 to other scientists on the ground, "Gold possible. " Walking across hilly ground, four scientists reported, "This ground should be searched for metals. " From an airplane over a hilly wasteland a scientist sent back by radio one word, "Uranium. "
None of the scientists had X-ray eyes: they had no 14 powers for looking down below the earth's surface. They were 15 putting to use one of the newest methods of 16 minerals in the ground—using trees and plants as 17 that certain minerals may lie beneath the ground on which the trees and
plants are growing.
This newest method of searching for minerals is 18 on the fact that minerals deep in the earth may 19 the kind of bushes and trees that grow on the surface.
At Watson Bar Creek, a brook six thousand feet high in the mountains of British Columbia, Canada, a mineral search group gathered bags of tree seeds. Boxes were filled with small branches from the trees. Roots were dug and put into boxes. Each bag and box was 20 marked. In a scientific laboratory the parts of the forest trees were burned to ashes and tested. Each small part was examined to learn whether there were minerals in it.
