We can use the Internet instead of a library to find all kinds of information for our homework. We can find information about our favourite sports or film stars and do shopping on the Internet. We can also send messages to other people by e-mail. It is much cheaper and quicker than calling our friends or sending a letter. With the help of the Internet, the world is becoming smaller and smaller. People can now work at home with a computer in front, getting and sending the information they need.

B In Sydney, Australia, there is a long-distance running race called the City to Surf. The race is held on the second Sunday in August every year. More than 23,000 people run in the race. The race is 14 kilometres long. It starts in the centre of the city and finishes at a surf beach called Bondi. That is why it is called the City to Surf. All kinds of people run in the city to surf. Old people take part in the race, too. In 1981, the oldest runners were an 81-year-old man and his sister Linda, 76, who was the last runner to finish. At the end of the race, there is a special person who writes down the runners’ names and running time. The names and running time of the runners would be on the newspaper a few days later. In 1981, it took the first runner just 40 minutes to run the race, and it took the last runner two and a half hours. The first man and the first woman each receive a trophy (奖品) and a free trip to San Francisco in the USA. There they run in another long-distance race. 6.

Every country is trying to find ways to turn salt water into fresh. Why aren’t there many factories like the Symi factory? Because in some places, the sun is not hot enough. In such places, other ways of heating(加热)sea water can be used. These ways cost more money, but they work faster than the sun. By boiling(煮沸)sea water with high heat, a lot of fresh water can be made quickly. But heating is not the only way to get fresh water from salt water. Other ways are tried. One way is freezing (冷冻).The fresh part of salt water freezes first. To get fresh water, the bits(小块) of ice are taken out . Which way is the best? The one that gives the most water for the least money. It may be a different way of each place. Symi’s way seems very good for small, hot places. It does not make very much water at a time. But the factory is easy to build and costs a little. That is why people in many dry places talk about Symi. 11. From the passage we know that fresh water . A. is needed in every country B. can be found in many factories C. can be used in many ways D. is very important for factories 12. What is the writer mainly talking about in the passage? A.

Which of the following is wrong? A. New ways are tried to get fresh water. B. A lot of water can be made quickly by heating. C. The best way is to get more fresh water with the least money. D. The Symi’s way does not work in hot places. 第II卷 非选择题 五、词汇运用 （10分） A: 根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使句子意思完整正确。 1. Many topics are ____________ (涉及) in the report, including travelling and weather. 2.
