【解析】

M: Pedal Power is a small charity based mainly in the UK. At Pedal Power, they collect second-hand bikes in the UK and send them to some of the poorest regions in the world. When they distribute bikes overseas, they don’t give them away for free. In order to continue operating they need to have a constant supply of bikes which they send out every six months. In August 2000, they simply ran out of money. It was a terrible situation. Fortunately, in October 2001 they won an Enterprise Award which helped them enormously.

Dan Pearman is the founder of Pedal Power. He got the idea of exporting bicycles to developing countries while he was in Ecuador. Dan Pearman went there in 1993 and he joined a voluntary organization. Where Dan Pearman lived in Ecuador was a rural area. His neighbor had the only bicycle in the village, whereas everyone else walked everywhere. His neighbor’s business was very successful. For years Dan Pearman couldn’t understand why. Then he realized having a bike meant his neighbor could reach anywhere he liked without much trouble. Other local carpenters could only accept jobs nearby, so no matter how skilled they were, they could never do as many jobs as his neighbor. When he returned to the UK in 1998, he started planning Pedal Power.

【題目】 Why Ultra-pure（超高純的）Water Is Actually Bad for Your Health Many people are surprised to hear that drinking purified water on a regular, daily basis is actually dangerous. So why is 100% ultra-pure water not good for us? 【1】

There is no such thing as truly pure water in the natural world. 【2】When these minerals dissolve（溶解）in water, they form what we commonly refer to as electrolytes（電解質(zhì)）.They allow us to perform all the “bioelectrical” functions such as moving, heart-beating, thinking, and seeing.

But pure water fails to provide these fundamental electrolytes. 【3】You can think of it this way：imagine a room with no gravity, split in half down the middle. You throw a couple hundred balls into the left side of the room. 【4】 But if you cut a bunch of holes in the barrier, they will slowly start to spread over to the right side. Eventually, they will be evenly distributed across the entire room.

The water in your organs stays at very specific levels of minerals. When you drink ultra-purified water, it pulls the minerals out of your blood just like the right side of the space room pulled some of the bouncy balls over from the left. 【5】

Purified water can only be recommended as a way of drawing poisons out of the body. Once this is accomplished, the continued drinking of purified water is a bad idea.

A.Purified water is an active absorber.

B.Since there's no gravity, they bounce around everywhere.

C.It actually tries to rob your body of them when you drink it.

D.Even water in the purest lakes contains small amounts of minerals.

E.If you drank enough of it, the lack of minerals would eventually kill you.

F.The simple answer is that ultra-pure water doesn't provide the natural minerals we need#

G.This is why materials tend to move from more concentrated areas to less concentrated ones.

【題目】 Charles Wang has been to e mail hell, and returned to tell the tale. His journey there began innocently enough when, as chairman of Computer Associates International, a software company, he first heard how quickly his employees welcomed their new electronic mail system. They were sending messages to one another like crazy. “I said, ‘Let’s check into how people are using it.’” But instead of a pleasant e mail culture, what had developed was a behavioral nightmare. “It was a disaster,” he says. “My managers were getting 200 to 300 e mails a day each. People were so fond of it that they weren’t talking to each other. They were hibernating, e mailing people in the next room. They were abusing it.” In just a few years, Wang’s high-tech communications system had gone crazy.

To stop that, Wang short circuited the system, taking the astonishing step—considering what his $3.9 billion company does for a living—of banning all e mails from 9:30 a.m. to 12 noon and from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. These hours are now observed as a sort of electronic quiet time. Says Wang: “It worked wonderfully. People are walking the corridors again talking to other people. ”

Almost everyone agrees that e mail is a wonderful invention. It is a convenient, informal medium for conveying messages that well meets human needs. E mail is perhaps the ideal means by which one can run a global project. “It is one of the greatest innovations of the last 20 years,” says Paul Argenti, a professor of management communications at Dartmouth’s Tuck School. But Argenti and others also say it is a medium whose function is confusing, in parts because the process is so easy and informal that people treat it as they do conversation but informal as it may be, e mail is writing and constitutes a permanent record, and because so much of human conversation is nonverbal, e mail messages, especially critical or complex ones, can easily be misunderstood.

【1】From the first paragraph,we can infer that Charles .

A. was very glad to see the benefits of e mails to his employees

B. thought it unbelievable that his employees used e mails so much

C. doubted the public enthusiasm about e mails for communications

D. considered the e mail application a somewhat happy experience

【2】The underlined word “hibernating” probably refers to those who .

A. get sleepy more easily for no actual work to do

B. have more time for sleep for their high efficiency

C. are not moving around and not talking to each other

D. become indifferent to each other even in the same office

【3】To change the worrisome situation, Charles Wang .

A. restricted the time for e mail correspondence

B. invented other media for communication

C. closed the e mail system in his company

D. closed his company for other business

【4】From the last paragraph, we can see the disadvantage of e mails may be that .

A. it is computer borneB. it doesn’t help global business

C. it may be misunderstoodD. it is a written language
