A. Choose the best answer（根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案）（12分）
Every student wants to learn English well, but how can we learn it well? It's a good topic for English learners. Here are some good methods, which can help you improve your English quickly. First of all, you must have correct attitude. Please love English, not hate it. And you don't feel shy when you say or speak English. Remember one sentence: Put your face in your pocket.
Secondly, I think grammar rules, new words and phrases are important, but they are not enough. For example, some people are quite good at grammar and learned a lot of English words and phrases. But they can't speak English when they meet foreign friends.
The most effective (有效的) way to learn English well is to often use English. Don't be afraid
and don’t laugh at others. We'd better listen, speak, read and write more. You can go to English corner, talk with foreigners or talk with your friends. If you have time, listen to the radio or English program. Listening to this good material can help you improve your listening and understanding. And then, you can read English books, newspapers or novels. They are wonderful. You can use the internet, chat with net-friends or write E-mails, dairies …Through these ways, you can get more for your English.
English isn't so difficult that we can't learn it well. As long as we set our mind to learn English well, I’m sure everyone will be successful.

When the musical sound rings you, you immediately reach for your pocket ready to have a chat．But although you probably use it all the time, have you ever stopped to think about the manners related to talking on the phone? If you haven’t, here are some tips to guide you．
●Always give the person you are calling plenty of time to get to the phone before you hang up. If the person who answers is not the one you want，give your name and ask if you may speak to the person you want．
●Think about the time you call people．Try not to call too early in the morning（before about 9:00）or too late at night（after about 9:30）.Also try not to call at mealtimes．
●If you go by plane to visit your relatives at Christmas, remember to follow airline instructions．Cell phones must be turned off as soon as the plane doors are closed and remain so until the doors open again on arrival．
●When face to face with someone, do not talk on the phone. It is rude to be on the phone when a waiter is trying to take your order in a restaurant, or when you are returning the shoes you have
just been trying on in a shop. Finish any face-to-face business before taking a call. Continuing to use the phone while nodding to the person in front of you is quite impolite．
●When in a restaurant with your friends，keep phone conversations short. Make a call only if it is important. Practice speaking in a low voice．If no one looks your way, you’ve got it．
●If you go to a theatre, a concert or a cinema, consider the other people around you．Check that your phone is “off” before you enter. If you are expecting a very important call, put your phone on “vibrate”（振动）and run for the exit as soon as you feel it. If you forget both “off” and “vibrate” and your phone rings, don’t answer it, turn it off straight away.
73. If the person whose answer is not the one you want, _________. A. just hang up
B. give your name then hang up

77. From the tips given above, we can decide the writer is sure to share the opinion that______． A．1ike the saying “clothes make a man”, nowadays cell phones make a man B．as the old saying goes, money talks; nowadays cell phones talk C．the way we use the cell phones tells what we are like D．we are what cell phones we use
78. From the tips given above, how do you consider the other people around you a theatre? A. Talk with them and makes friends with them
B. If you forget both \"off\" and \" vibrate\" and your phones rings, answer it immediately C. If it is an important call, you can answer it on your seat. D. Check that your phone is not turned on before you enter.

If you are familiar with this scene, you’ll know how time flies when you are having fun and drags when you are bored. Now scientists have come up with a reason why this is the case.

In an experiment ____81___ by a French laboratory, 12 volunteers watched an image while researchers monitored their brain activity.
The volunteers were told to _____82__ concentrate on how long an image appeared for, then ____83___ the color of the image, and thirdly, study both duration and color. The results showed that the brain was more active when the volunteers paid attention to more subjects.
It is thought that if the brain is busy focusing on many aspects of a task, it has to spread its resources, and pays less attention to the clock. ___84____, time passes without us really noticing it, and seems to go quickly. If the brain is not so active, it concentrates its concentrates its full energies on monitoring the passing of time. As a result, time seems to drag.

E. Answer the questions（根据以下内容回答问题）（12分）
One of Britain’s bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected police killer David Bieber -- and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to ￡30,000 reward money.
Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bibber’s bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.
She said: \"I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park I was so glad they were there.”
The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious of the guest who checked in at 3 pm the day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said: \"He didn’t seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact （接触）.\" Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 pm.
Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.
\"It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said ‘Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?\". My heart missed a beat.\" Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key.
\"I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the man’s room, but I could see the passage. The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he must have come out because they
shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed.
96. Vicki could get over £ 30,000 reward money, couldn’t she?
97. How did Vicki feel when she opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policeman lined up in the car park?
98. Why did Vicki become suspicious of David Bieber? 99. Where was David Bieber most probably handcuffed?
100. How long did the whole event probably last from the moment Bieber came to the hotel to the arrival of some armed officers?
101. What might Vicki be thinking as her heart missed a beat?
