Ⅱ.阅读理解Tap tap tappa taptap.It is the last sound to be heard before sleep.On especially bad days，it is the first sound to be heard in the morning.It is the sound of the only last disagreement in a household that is otherwise peaceful.My daughter is hooked on the Internet and I think this is mad，bad and dangerous.
She is in every other respect a sensible young woman.She graduated in the summer.She goes to work each day.She and her friends are on the phone all evening and she goes out with them at weekends.But on top of that she has lately started spending some two hours on intense communication with a computer.And I hate it.
This is not just fear of new technology.Of course，there is value in instant access to information banks worldwide and，of course，email is revolutionizing the way we correspond with each other.My mistrust is based on the fact that this use of the Internet is such a pale copy of the timehonoured way in which people communicate with each other.It leads to intimacy(亲密) before acquaintance；it scatters secrets outwards，not inwards；and，most worrying of
all，it is a vehicle for liars.
What frightens me is that my daughter rejects all this.The denial is there the language she uses.“I ‘met’ Janet in January，” she says，“and we’ve been ‘friends’ ever since.” At other times，“I was ‘talking’ to Alex the other day and he ‘said’...”“No，he didn’t，” I argued；friends are friends when，and only when，you have seen the whites of their eyes.She just rolls hers，skywards.
Imagine this.When I was planning to go away for a few days last month，this intelligent 22yearold announced a plan for a party，the guests to include a variety of Internuts who，coming as they would from all corners，would need to stay overnight.
Overnight？In my home，my home that contains everything I care about.
She said，“Don’t be silly.” She said it would be quite all right，because the people she was planning to invite were those whom she had “known” for at least a year and whom she “knows” as well as any of her other friends that，on the whole，I tend to like.I said，trying to be reasonable but not altogether succeeding，that in and among things they “tell” each other on the taptap，a tendency to murder might just have been overlooked，hasn’t it?
The party didn’t happen.The row must certainly did.
When I say that if they are not nutters they are nerds(计算机迷)，she tries to reason.Do I think she is a nerd？Absolutely not.Well，then，why should they be？Do I think she is a liar？Just as absolutely not.Seizing the initiative(主动权) she moves over to the attack.
“You remember that favourite story of yours，the one about how the army captain and the woman whose book he discovered got to know one another solely through writing letters？And how she refused to send him a photograph because she felt that if he really cared，it wouldn’t matter what she looked like？Well，they hadn’t seen each other either.” She smiles her selfsatisfied smile.Arguing with a daughter is always like that，so annoying.They always know where your weak points are，just where to slip in under your guard.
But I cannot clear it from my head；the worries refuse to go away.It is not that，as individuals，I have reason to believe they would lie.But they could.They could lie about their age，their state of mind or even their sex.Indeed，apparently in America，it is common for men to taptap pretending to be women on the basis that they then get others to communicate with far greater intimacy.
16.Why does the author dislike email communication?
A.Because it takes up too much of her daughter’s time.
B.Because it is too noisy and disturbs the peace of the house.
C.Because one never really gets to know the person at the other end.
D.Because it prevents her and her daughter from communicating well.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段和第四段的内容可知，作者不喜欢通过电子邮件交流的原因是不能真正地了解对方的情况。因此选C。
17.The daughter insisted on having the party at home because
.
A.she was old enough to make a good decision
B.she wanted to disobey her mother’s wishes
C.she thought her friends were reliable
D.her friends promised to behave well
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第七段中的“...the people she was planning to invite...I tend
to like...”可知，作者的女儿认为自己对这些朋友很了解，觉得他们很可靠，所以坚持在家里举办聚会，因此选择C。
18.What does the underlined sentence mean?
A.Of course，they had a quarrel after that.
B.Of course，the daughter didn’t get angry.
C.Of course，the party would continue later.
D.Of course，they reconsidered the guest list.
答案 A
解析 句意猜测题。根据下文可知，聚会虽然没有举办，但是母女间的争吵却是不可避免的，因此选A。
19.Why did the daughter mention her mother’s favourite story?
A.To fight for her own love.
B.To defend her own views.
C.To get her mother to use the Internet.
D.To find out her mother’s weak points.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据第九段中的“Seizing the initiative(主动权) she moves over to the attack.”和第十段中的“She smiles her selfsatisfied smile...They always know where your weak points are...”可知，作者的女儿提到作者最喜欢的故事就是为了说明从未见过面的人也能发展亲密的关系，即为自己的观点辩护。
20.According to the author，some men pretended to be women in their email messages in order to
.
A.play a joke on others
B.let women more openly
C.express their true feelings
D.find a girlfriend online
答案 B

21.The best title for the passage should be
.
A.Mother’s Madness about the Internuts
B.Daughter’s Addiction to Making Friends
C.Disagreement between Mother and Daughter
D.Endless Battle between Mother and Daughter
答案 A
解析 标题归纳题。纵观全文可知，身为母亲的作者对于网虫持反对意见，为此和女儿闹得很不愉快，因此A项作本文标题最为合适。

All of us experience failure and are afraid of it.However，every coin has two sides.
参考范文
All of us experience failure and are afraid of it.However，every coin has two sides. Failure also has its advantages.It provides us with an opportunity to see our strengths and weaknesses clearly，enabling us to find what is the most suitable for us.On the other hand，failure can be a good teacher.It tells us where we need improvements，where we should invest more time and energy，and what strategy to take.
Failure is something unavoidable.Properly handled，though，it can teach us a lot.Firstly，we should face it bravely instead of complaining about the unfairness of life.Secondly，we should analyze the reasons timely to avoid making similar mistakes.Last but not least，we are supposed to make appropriate changes and more efforts.Only in this way are we more likely to succeed.
As for me，I have a positive attitude towards failure，because I believe there is always some wisdom to be learned from failure.I will keep in mind that failure is the mother of success.
