A fax machine or a computer can be used to send or receive the fax．IP fax also allows e-mail to be used to receive faxes．This would enable users to receive faxes anywhere，anytime with an internet fax address． ‎ ‎56．The passage deals mainly with ____． ‎ ‎ A．PC fax B．IP fax C．information technology D．new machines ‎ ‎57．In traditional fax，____ can be used． ‎ ‎ A．even computers B．LAN fax servers ‎ ‎ C．e-mail D．only fax machines ‎ ‎58．IP fax can use all of the following to send and receive a fax except ____ ． ‎ ‎ A．a fax machine B．a receiving machine ‎ ‎ C．a computer D．e-mail ‎ ‎59．In real-time IP fax mode ____． ‎ ‎ A．two fax machines communicate directly ‎ ‎ B．a network-based server is used ‎ ‎ C．users can receive faxes anywhere ‎ ‎ D．the PSTN has to be used ‎ ‎60．The underlined word“inserts”can be replaced by ____． ‎ ‎ A．prints B．presses C．puts D．uses ‎ ‎ B ‎ ‎ Join the Friends of the Haggerty Museum of Art and support one of the most dynamic visual art resources in Milwaukee．Museum members receive invitations to special events，lectures and art trips.

In India, the need for such protection was realized centuries ago． ‎ ‎ About 300 B.C．an Indian writer described forests that were some what like national parks today．The killing of beasts was carefully supervised（监视）．Some animals were fully protected．Within the forest，nobody was allowed to cut timber（wood for building），burn wood for charcoal，or catch animals for their furs．Animals that became dangerous to human visitors were caught or killed outside the park so that other animals would not become uneasy． ‎ ‎ The need for wildlife protection is greater now than ever before．About a thousand species of animals are in danger of extinction, and the rate at which they are being destroyed has increased．With ‎ mammals，for instance，the rate of extinction was about one species every fifty years from A.D．1to 1800，but now it is about one species every year．Everywhere，men are trying to solve the problem of protecting wildlife caring for the rapid growth of the world's population． ‎ ‎69．In forests of ancient India ____． ‎ A．people were permitted to hunt for fun ‎ B．only a few kinds of animals could be killed ‎ ‎ C．the killing of game beasts was strictly limited ‎ ‎ D．no killing of beasts was allowed ‎ ‎70．Dangerous animals were caught or killed outside the park so as to ____．A．keep human visitors safe ‎ ‎ B．free the rest of the animals from worry or fear ‎ ‎ C．supply other animals with more food ‎ ‎ D．control the number of wild animals ‎ ‎71．The underlined word“extinction”probably means ____ ． ‎ ‎ A．being hungry B．being killed C．growing slowly D．dying out ‎ ‎72．The example of man’s connection with wildlife protection can date back to ____． ‎ ‎ A．the third century B．more than 2000 years ago ‎ C．A.

It is supposed to be the Englishmen's favourite meeting place, where they can get together with friends over a pint of beer and talk about football, horse racing or business. Pubs are usually open from 11 a.m. to midnight. ‎ You may notice that the pub is the Englishmen's meeting place. It is not quite respectable for a woman to go into a pub alone . She must have a man to go with her. Perhaps that's partly the reason why pubs depress me —— they are intended mainly to provide for male interests.‎ Most Englishmen have their favourite local, where they can escape from the pressures of family life or work, and if they are lucky, they can tell their troubles to a pretty bar-girl. Indeed many men dream of retiring from their 9 to 5 jobs and buying a little country pub, where they imagine they will be the host of a seven night a week party.‎ ‎ 选择题参考答案（Key to 1—75）‎ 第一、二、三部分：‎ ‎1—5 BABCA 6—10 BCCAB 11—15 AABAC 16—20 BCBCB 21—25 CCCCB ‎26—30 DBBDB 31—35 CCBCB 36—40 BAADB 41—45 CABCC 46—50 BDADB ‎51—55 DDACC 56—60 BDBAC 61—65 ACCBA 66—70 ADACB 71—75 DBDDA 第四部分： ‎ 第一节： ‎ ‎76．make→making 77．第二个to→ with78．friend→friends 79．unliked→disliked 80．anyway→anymore 81．去掉第二个of 82．friend→friendly 83．√84．And→Or 85．advices→advice ‎ 第二节： ‎ Why Are Bicycles So Popular In China？ ‎ Bicycles are a convenient means of transportation．People can go wherever they like by bike on a short trip．It is easy to go to work or school by bike because most of the Chinese live not far away from where they work or study．Riding bicycles is also good exercise，which can help build people’s bodies． ‎ ‎ What's more，riding bicycles can save energy．China has a population of more than 1，300 million．As bicycles are not expensive，almost every family has one．Now each family in China has at least a bike instead of a car．Thus a great deal of energy is saved and serious air pollution is reduced． ‎ ‎ That's why bicycles are so popular in China．‎
