Ray Tomlinson was born in New York State. He sent the world’s f 1. email and let us have the use of the @ symbol in electronic communications. Tomlinson wrote a program in 1971 that a 2. messages to be exchanged between different computers. Before that time, electronic messages had only been exchanged between people using the s 3. main unit.
At the time of his invention, Tomlinson was researching possible uses for the ArpaNet—the US military (军方) network that formed the base of the Internet, and showed an i 4. in improving the use of ArpaNet’s “mailbox(邮箱)”, which made users send messages to the mailboxes possible. In the past, people had to print out the message and p 5. it in the mailbox. This achievement made a great difference in people’s life.
Tomlinson also came up with the i 6. of using the “@” symbol to separate the name of the receiver from the name of the host, creating the standard still used today. Although it had a history of o 7. forty years, Tomlinson said email had not changed much since its invention.
Tomlinson studied electrical engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic and t 8. got his masters (硕士学位) at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Two more American universities, Adelphi University in New York, and Louisiana State University, have begun accepting scores from China’s national college entrance exam, or gaokao, in order to attract more Chinese students.
This means Chinese students no longer need to take the SAT, ACT or TOEFL. However, Chinese students must find ways to show their English skills. If they want to take part in Adelphi's international program and Louisiana State University’s global program, they must first finish eight weeks of English-language lessons, starting in October. After passing the exam, they can start their first year at one of the universities.
Since 2015, US universities have more accepted gaokao scores as part of the application(申请) process for Chinese students, but they still need either a basic English test score or to pass an interview.
“Chinese students at the university have achieved better grades than their US classmates, and that’s why we prefer students from China,” Shawn O’Riley, leader of the College said. “We have around 300 Chinese students and plan to increase the number. We also offer scholarship, from $5,000 to $15,000 depending on their gaokao score.”
Todd Ellwein, the director of Louisiana State University’s global program, said students who get high scores in the gaokao are not only the best students in China but also the world. The gaokao is a good way of choosing good students, and a high score in the exam means good basic knowledge, patience and a strong ability to deal with high pressure and compete with others.
Shi Yan, from Chivast Education International, said many universities in Hong Kong, Europe, Australia and Canada, have already made the gaokao an admission criterion(录取标准), too.
1.When do the English-language lessons in these two universities begin?
A.In October. B.In November. C.In September.
2.Why do some US universities like Chinese students better?
A.Because they are usually smarter in the universities.
B.Because their grades are better than the US classmates’.
C.Because they find ways to show their English skills.
3.What does the underlined word “scholarship” mean in Chinese?
A.学者 B.学业 C.奖学金
4.According to the passage, a high score means a lot EXCEPT ________.
A.high pressure B.good basic knowledge C.much patience
5.The purpose of the passage is________.
A.to introduce China’s national college entrance exam, gaokao
B.to encourage more young people to enter American universities
C.to tell people the growing popularity of gaokao around the world

Each summer 2000 teenagers and 50 grown-ups live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day.

The Erie Canal was the first important national waterway built in the US. It crossed New York State(州)from Buffalo on Lake Eric to Albany on the Hudson River. It joined the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean.
Over the canal industrial goods(工业产品)could flow into the west, and materials could pour into the east. The Erie Canal helped New York develop into the nation's larges city.
The building of the canal was paid for completely by the state of New York. It cost $7,143,789, but it soon gained its price many times over. Between 1825, when the canal was opened, and 1882, when toll charges(过运河费)were stopped, the state collected $121,461,891.
For a hundred years before the Erie Canal was built, people had been talking about a canal to join the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean. The man who planned the Erie Canal and carried the plan through was De Witt Clinton. At that time some people laughingly called it "Clinton's Ditch(沟)". Clinton talked and wrote about the canal and drew up plans for it. He and Governor Morris went to Washington in 1812 to ask for help for the canal, but they were unsuccessful.
Clinton became governor of New York State in 1817, and shortly afterwards, on July 4,1817, broke ground for the canal in Rome of New York State. The first part of the canal was completed in 1820. As the canal grew, towns along its course developed fast. The length of the canal is 363 miles.
1.According to the map and Paragraph 1 we can know that ______ into the Atlantic Ocean.
A.the Great Lakes flow B.the Hudson River flows
C.Lake Erie flows D.the Eric Canal flows
2.We can see that the Erie Canal ______.
A.joined the Great Lakes together B.crossed New York State from north to south
C.played an important part in developing New York City D.was the first waterway built in the US
3.______ paid for the building of the Erie Canal.
A.The government of US B.Ships through the canal
C.People living along the canal D.The state of New York
4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.It's 363 miles from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean
B.Many other states helped New York build the canal
C.All parts of the canal were completed at the same time.
D.Clinton started building the canal after he became governor.
5.The Erie Canal ______.
A.was open for 57 years

A few months ago I was nominated for Governor of the great state of New York, to run against Stewart L. Woodford and John T. Hoffman. I really felt dirty to run against them for all their shameful crimes that were reported on newspapers. However, as a candidate, I had no choice.
The next morning, as I was looking listlessly over the papers at breakfast, I came across this paragraph:
PERJURY- Mr. Mark Twain, a candidate for Governor, was convicted of perjury by thirty-four people, in Wakawak, in 1863. He intended to rob a poor woman of her land, her only stay and support after her husband died. For Mr. Twain himself, as well as the public, he needs to clear this matter up. Will he do it?
What a lie! I never had heard of Wakawak!
During the rest of the time, I got a title "the Infamous Perjurer Twain" on this paper.
Next came "Gazette", with this:
WANTED TO KNOW -When Mr. Twain was in Montana, his workmates lost small valuables from time to time, until at last, these things having all been found on Mr. Twain's person or in his suitcase. Will he explain this to his fellow-citizens?
I got a new title, "Twain, the Montana Thief". But I never was in Montana in my life.
Then another newspaper article:
DELIRIUM TREMENSTWAIN-Mark Twain, who was to make a speech at the mass meeting of the Independents last night, didn't come to time! He argued that he had been knocked down by a runaway team and his leg broken in two places. But a certain man who was very drunk was seen to reel into Mr. Twain's hotel last night. It is his duty to prove that this person was not Mark Twain himself WHO WAS THAT MAN?
I did not drink!
In the following weeks, I got more titles like "Delirium Tremens", "Body-Snatcher", "Filthy Corruptionist ", etc. Then one morning:
Mr. Mark Twain still maintains SILENCE. He dare not speak. Dare he open his mouth to explain?
Before I could reply, more dirty charges poured up on me. One day they even taught nine little children of all shades of colour to rush on to the platform at a public meeting and call me Pa (father)!
I gave up. I sent them a letter to state that I gave up, and in bitterness of spirit I signed it, "Truly yours, Once a decent man but now MARKTWAIN, IP. , M. T., D. T. , B. S. and FC. "
1.In the story, __________ people were running for Governor.
A.Three B.Four C.Five D.Six
2.Which of the following is TRUE about Mr. Twain according to his story?
A.He got punished for stealing in Montana.
B.He kept silent to the charges against him.
C.He was often too drunk to attend meetings.
D.He accepted the titles from the newspapers.
3.Who could be the person making Mr. Twain dirty?
A.The persons who wanted to beat him.
B.The poor who wanted their land back.
C.The women who had children with him.
D.The reporters who helped him make news.
4.Why did Mr. Twain finally decide to give up running for Governor? (请用约40词回答)
