Section One
     The city is an accumulation (積累)of human civilization. Just as the American social philosopher
(哲學(xué)家) Lewis Mumford put it, it is a special system which, fine and compact（簡(jiǎn)潔的）, has been
designed to preserve the fruits of human civilization. Many Western languages have developed their
versions of the term “civilization” from the same Latin (拉丁語(yǔ)的) word “civitas”(meaning “city”), and
it is by no means a coincidence（巧合）. The city has played a significant role in the perfection of
order in human society.
Section Two
     The emblem, showing the image of three people  ? you, me, him/her holding hands together,
symbolizes the big family of mankind. Inspired by the shape of the Chinese character “世”
(meaning the world), the design conveys the organizers' wish to host an Expo which is of global
scale and which displays the various urban cultures of the world.
Section Three
     Created from the inspiration of Chinese character “人”, the design roots deeply in Chinese culture.
It tells the world the eternal core (永恒的核心) and theme of Shanghai World Expo will be always
human. The mascot（吉祥物） “Haibao” will become the messenger for the theme of
World Expo 2010 Shanghai China “Better City, Better Life”.
     The basic structure of the Chinese character “人” in which each stroke(一筆，一劃) supports
each other also shows the concept that the beautiful life should depends on mutual-help. If the human
are willing to support one another, the harmony among human, nature, and society will be available.
Such an urban life will be nice.

    　　Dear Mr Price,

    　　I have eaten in your restaurant many times and have always been happy with the food and service．What happened last Saturday evening made me disappointed．

    　　It was my son’s birthday so we booked a no-smoking table at your restaurant for 7∶30 p. m．We arrived on time but were given a table in the smoking section．I asked to move but was told that there were no other tables．A lot of people were smoking so it was uncomfortable．

    　　Our first waitress, Janet, was polite and helpful．She gave us free drinks for waiting not long．Our food also came quickly and looked fresh and nice．When my wife had eaten most of her meal, she found a dead cockroach(蟑螂)in the vegetables, she was shocked and waned to leave．At first, the waitress told us it was a piece of garlic(大蒜)．When we told her that garlic did not have legs, she apologized and took the food away．

    　　We asked for the bill, expecting not to pay for my wife’s meal．Nobody came．After 15 minutes, I asked to see the manager．The head waiter told us that you were on holiday．I complained again about the horrible cockroach．He told me Janet had finished working．He didn’t believe my story and gave me bill for three meals．I argued with him but was forced to pay．

    　　The waitress, Janet, was always friendly, but I would like an apology from your impolite head waiter and a full refund for our meals which cost ＄68．Until then, I will not eat at your restaurant or recommend it to anyone．

    　　You can contact me at 7423254 or through E-mail if you want more information．

    　　Thank you very much for your attention．

    Yours sincerely

    科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源： 題型：閱讀理解

    閱讀理解:  閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

    Imagine you’re at a party full of strangers. You’re nervous. Who are these people? How do you start a conversation? Fortunately, you’ve got a thing that sends out energy at tiny chips in everyone’s name tag (標(biāo)簽). The chips send back name, job, hobbies, and the time available for meeting-whatever. Making new friends becomes simple

    This hasn’t quite happened in real life. But the world is already experiencing a revolution using RFID technology.

    An RFID tag with a tiny chip can be fixed in a product, under your pet’s skin, even under your own skin. Passive RFID tags have no energy source-batteries because they do not need it. The energy comes from the reader, a scanning device, that sends out energy (for example, radio waves) that starts up the tag immediately.

    Such a tag carries information specific to that object, and the data can be updated. Already, RFID technology is used for recognizing each car or truck on the road and it might appear in your passport. Doctors can put a tiny chip under the skin that will help locate and obtain a patient’s medical records. At a nightclub in Paris or in New York the same chip gets you into the VIP (very important person) section and pays for the bill with the wave of an arm.

    Take a step back:10 or 12 years ago,you would have heard about the coming age of computing. One example always seemed to surface: Your refrigerator would know when you needed to buy more milk. The concept was that computer chips could be put everywhere and send information in a smart network that would make ordinary life simpler

    RFID tags are a small part of this phenomenon. “The world is going to be a loosely coupled set of individual small devices, connected wirelessly,” predicts Dr.J.Reich. Human right supporters are nervous about the possibilities of such technology. It goes too far tracking school kids through RFID tags, they say. We imagine a world in which a beer company could find out not only when you bought a beer but also when you drank it. And how many beers. Accompanied by how many biscuits. w*w*When Marconi invented radio, he thought it would be used for ship-to-shore communication. Not for pop music. Who knows how RFID and related technologies will be used in the future. Here’s a wild guess: Not for buying milk.

    1. The article is intended to______.  

    A. warn people of the possible risks in adopting RFID technology

    B. explain the benefits brought about by RFID technology

    C. convince people of the uses of RFID technology

    D. predict the applications of RFID technology

    2. We know from the passage that with the help of RFID tags, people        .

    A. will have no trouble getting data about others

    B. will have more energy for conversation

    C. will have more time to make friends

    D. won’t feel shy at parties any longer

    3. Passive RFID tags chiefly consist of        .

    A. scanning devices          B. radio waves   C. batteries                  D. chips

    4. Why are some people worried about RFID technology?

    A. Because children will be tracked by strangers.

    B. Because market competition will become more fierce.

    C. Because their private lives will be greatly affected.

    D. Because customers will be forced to buy more products.

    5. The last paragraph implies that RFID technology        .

    A. will not be used for such matters as buying milk

    B. will be widely used, including for buying milk

    C. will be limited to communication uses

    D. will probably be used for pop music
