　　Passage One

　　One of the most interesting experiments in electronic communication I’ve ever seen is coming from Wave. It’s real-time e-mail,What that means is that as you’re typing a message in Wave,either a new massage or a reply ,the person you are writing to can see what you’re typing as you type it . Sounds awful, right?

　　You don’t have to use W ave in this real-time way . It also works as a standard e-mail. What’s really different about Wave is that if you’re replying to a massage and the person you’re replying to happen to be online,they can jump into the conversation at that point, and change what is an email conversation into an instant message conversation or a chat.

　　Wave right now is still closed to most users . And Wave isn’t yet connected to other communication systems,like regular e-mail , which means that the only people we can Wave with are other people on waves as well. So we don’t yet know what using Wave will be like once it gets crowded like e-mail . Also,the technology behind Wave is far more demanding on servers and the Internet itself than regular e-mail or chat,so we don’t know if the technology will work at scale .

　　But Wave really is a current re-think of e-mail . A lot of people won’t like it . A lot of people didn’t like e-mail either when it first showed up .but people will find real uses for Wave or whatever it becomes, and it’s one of the most interesting new takes on communication . Even if you don’t like it, it will make you think differently about e-mail.

　　36.What is special about Wave?

　　A.It makes people see each other online.

　　B.It enables people to send real-time e-mails .

　　C.It allows you to send more e-mails at the same .

　　D.It can be easily connected to other communication systems.

　　参考答案：B

　　37.It is uncertain that Wave will work on a large scale because___________.

　　A.people cannot find practical uses for it

　　B.it will be a challenge to regular e-mail

　　参考答案：C

　　38.We know from the last paragraph that_______.

　　A.Wave is a basis for face-to face communication on line

　　B.Wave allows people to look at e-mail from a new angle

　　C.most Internet users will have access to Wave

　　Passage Five

　　Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion,unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that angry hostile feeling can lead to heart disease, stomach problems,headaches, emotional problems and possible cancer.

　　Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others explode with anger,and yell. But other people keep their inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing (压制) anger.

　　For years many doctors thought that compared with expressing anger,repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health. It may speed the heart rate,raise blood pressure or sugar into the blood and narrow the blood vessels. To avoid these problems,doctors thought a person should let the anger out by expressing it freely. But recently some doctors disputed this. They said that people who express anger repeatedly and explosively did cause,in fact,more and not less anger. They said these too can cause medical problems.

　　Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. Expressing anger intensively may be more likely to develop heart disease, and keeping anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it isn’t, they say,”Don’t express your anger while angry .Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”

　　Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry.They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.

　　52.The passage mainly focuses on___________.

　　A.the causes of anger

　　B.the medical treatment of anger

　　C.the health problems caused by anger

　　D.reasonable ways of dealing with anger

　　参考答案：D

　　53.It can be concluded from the passage that_______.

　　A.keeping anger inside is better than expressing it intensively

　　B.both repressing and expressing anger cause health problems

　　C.keeping anger inside is more likely to cause heart disease

　　D.expressing anger freely can avoid medical problems

　　参考答案：B

　　54.The auther of the passage is most probably a(n)_______.
