第—节阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
A
I had the meanest mother in the world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal, eggs and toast. Others had cokes and candy for lunch, while we had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different than the other kids’. But at least I was not alone in my suffering. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.
My mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing. We had to wear clean clothes every day. Other kids always wore their clothes for days. We reached the height of disgrace because she made our clothes herself, just to save money.
The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by 9:00 each night and up at 7:45 the next morning. So while my friends slept, my mother actually had the courage to break Child Labor Law. She made us work. I believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us.
Through the years, our friends’ report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, however, would merely be content with black marks. None of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout.
She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. Using this as a backgroun d, I’m now trying to bring up my three children. I’m filled with pride when my children think I am mean because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world.

As is reported, 113,000,000 Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. They use credit cards in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in different places, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the "cashless society" is not on the horizon----it's already here.
While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers(记录器) can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customer for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods
in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.
Many other companies, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas station to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.
31. According to the passage, the credit card makes its owner to _______________ .
A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes
B. obtain more convenient services than other people do

A. in the future all the Americans will use credit cards
B. nowadays many Americans do not pay in cash
C. it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before

33. The phrase “ring up sales” most probably means _______________.
A. make an order of goods
B. record sales on a cash register
C. call the sales manager
D. keep track of the goods in stock
34. What is this passage mainly about?
A. Approaches to the commercial use of computers.
B. Conveniences brought about by computers in business.
C. Significance of automation in commercial companies.
D. Advantage of credit cards in business.
35. It can be inferred that ________________.

B. computer industry will not develop faster
C. computers will bring about more convenience to people’s life

(参考范文)
The news above tells us that Guangzhou will start a traffic control drill from 17 to 20, July. The traffic control will stop cars running on road on some day. And the drivers who don’t obey it will get punished.
As more and more cars are used, the traffic especially in big cities is getting heaver and heavier, which lead to the serious social problem--traffic jam. It has a negative influence on people's daily life and economic development.
To solve the problem of heavy traffic, effective measures should be adopted. First of all, more new roads should be constructed, and the old and narrow streets be widened and expanded, which can partly reduce traffic and speed up the flow of buses and cars. Moreover, our government should increase public transportation. More bus routes should be opened up because buses can carry more passengers. Lastly, riding bicycles should be encouraged. Because it is not only a reasonable way for people to reduce the traffic jams but also a good way for people to keep fit by cycling to and from their working place two times a day.
Though it is a difficult task, we should spend no effort to control it. Only when the problem of heavy traffic is solved, can we lead a more harmonious life.
