Many television programmes are very realistic （现实的）. One who watches TV often feels that whatever happened in the film could well happen to him. With only a little imagination， every man in the street becomes a thief， a spy or a murderer. Jane had been watching a spy film at her friends house. In it， a young girl had been followed and murdered. She felt a little frightened， walking to the station. She took a train back to the centre of the city. There were a lot of people traveling with her， so she felt much safer.

A man sitting opposite her， reading a newspaper， glanced at her. She thought nothing of it until she saw him staring at her. Remember the film and feeling very uncomfortable， she got off the train and went to the bus stop. When he got on the same bus as he did， she found that he was following her. As long as she had been with other people she wasnt frightened. But when she got off the bus， the streets were almost empty. She walked as quickly as she could. She could hear footsteps following her but she didnt dare to look around. After what seemed to have been hours， but was unable to find them， because she was so frightened. The footsteps stopped behind her. She felt a hand on her shoulder. Instead of feeling hands round her neck， however， she heard a pleasant voice. “I apologize if I frightened you.

On October 12， 1989， some British scientists were working at the computers to look for the information they needed. Suddenly they saw a lot of very bright points crossing the computers screens. At the same time the computers were working much slower. To find out what was happening they stopped their work to check some parts of the computers. To their horror （恐怖）， they found out that most of their stored information was got rid of by computer viruses （病毒）！ Clearly all these computers had been infected （感染） by computer viruses.

It is said that the computer viruses were made by a group of young men fond of playing tricks. They all had excellent education. They created the viruses just to show their intelligence （才能）. These kinds of computer viruses are named Jerusalem Viruses. These viruses can stay in computers for a long time. When the time comes they will attack （袭击） the computers by lowering the functions （功能）， damaging their normal programs or even getting rid of all the information.

We now come to know that Jerusalem Viruses often attack computers on Friday and that they are spreading （传播） to a lot of computers. Among the countries that were attacked by computer viruses last year are Britain， Australia， Switzerland and the U.S. But till now， how to get rid of the terrible viruses remains a problem.

This year 2，300 teenagers （young people aged from 1319） from all over the world will spend about ten months in U.S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools， meet U.S. teenagers， and form impressions （印象） of the real American teenagers. American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and have a new understanding of the rest of the world.

Here is a twoway student exchange in action. ① Fred， nineteen， spent last year in Germany with Georges family. In return， Georges son， Mike， spent a year in Freds home in America.

Fred， a lively young man， knew little German when he arrived， but after two months study， the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected―much harder. ② Students rose respectfully （尊敬地） when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the united States. There were almost no outside activities （活动）.

Family life， too， was different. The familys word was law， and all activities were around the family rather than the individual （个人）. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also， he missed having a car.

“Back home， you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany， you walk， but you soon learn to like it.”

At the same time， in America， Mike， a friendly German boy， was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize （批评） American schools.” he says. “It is far too easy by our level （水准）. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens （市民）. There ought to be some middle ground between the two. ③”

In Kansas City， Missouri， a computer helps firefighters. The computer contains information about every one of the 350，000 street addresses in the city. When firefighters answer a call， the computer will give them important information about the burning building： its position， size， type and so on. In fact， the computer system has almost unlimited ways of helping firefighters with the problems facing them. For instance， it can give medical information about invalids living in a burning building. With this information， the firefighters can take special care to find these sick persons and remove them quickly and safely.

The Kansas City computer system also helps a medical record of each of the citys 900 firefighters. This kind of information is specially useful when a fireman is injured. With this medical information， doctors at the hospital can treat the injured firefighters more quickly and easily.

The firefighters themselves greatly appreciate the computers help. They know about possible dangers ahead of them and can prepare for them. Many times the computer information helps to save lives and property （财产）， sometimes the lives are those of firefighters themselves！

四、任务型阅读（共10题；每小题1分，满分10分）

请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填上一个最恰当的单词。

We all have goals that we are moving towards and making a great effort to achieve. This is a good thing. Or can it be bad？ How many of us never reach our goals and yet we have tried so hard and really thought about nothing else？ I believe the mistake most of us make is that we do not focus on our present situation.

Let me explain. Most of us see our present situation as a stepping stone that we use simply as a means of reaching our final destination. We dont take time to truly appreciate where we are today and all the great things we already have in our lives. We should focus our attention on the journey and not on the destination， or we will miss the beautiful scenery along the way.

Lets use our job as an example. Now most of us want a promotion. We have plans to become the manager or general manager in our companies. Unfortunately， most of us will never reach the goal， but will watch others achieve our goal instead.

What we should be doing is focusing on the job we are currently in now. Forget where we want to get to and just focus on the present. You see， what we can control is our performance in our current job. We can decide to be the best we possibly can in our current job. Now this may mean further education to have the skills we currently do not have. It may mean working harder to produce better results than our colleagues. It could simply be a change of attitude， such as stopping complaining and becoming a more devoted and supportive employee. By doing our current job to the best of our abilities， we in fact give ourselves the best chance of promotion.

So the best thing for all of us to do to achieve our goals is to just focus on what we have and where we are now. Do the best and be the best we possibly can in our current situations， and we will give ourselves the very best chance of reaching our goals in the future. We have heard the old sayings and they are true： “Rome wasnt built in a day.”， “Patience is a virtue”， and so on.

Have patience， have appreciation of what we already have， and take time to help ourselves be the very best we can. Do these things and we will all reach our goals， but more importantly， we will enjoy our life every day.Title Focus on the presentThemeTo （51） our goals， we should focus on what we have and where we are mon

（52）We do not focus on our present situation.

Most of us see our present situation as a stepping stone to our final destination.

We do not spend the time truly （53） where we are today and what we already have in our lives.Example―our job（54） the thought of getting promoted. What we should do is （55） our best to do our current job.

To be the best in our current job， we should get further education， work harder than （56）， stop complaining and （57） ourselves to our job.（58）If we are （59）， grateful for what we have， and take time to help ourselves be the very best we can， we can not only （60） in the future， but also enjoy our life every day.五、书面表达（25分）

五、One possible version：

Dear Editor，

Recently graffiti has become more noticeable in my school. I feel quite annoyed at them， especially when some of my classmates praise them as a kind of socalled art. Confronted with this impolite phenomenon， I cant help asking myself： what is wrong with todays teenagers？

In my opinion， graffiti is a form of vandalism. They are a mess and are ugly to look at. Meanwhile， walls are public places， and they should not be used to express personal views and feelings.

I really think vandalism should be stopped， and those who refuse to stop this bad practice should be punished. We should clear away these ugly expressions and drawings so that our school may return to its true self―a clean， quiet place for study， teaching and research.

Yours，

Li Ming
