But the government recognizes another language, too. This is the Maori language. English sailors began to visit New Zealand after 1770. They found a dark-skinned people living there. These were the Maori. They had come from islands in the Pacific Ocean 400 years before — in the 14th century.For a long time the British government was not very interested in these far-away islands. It was made a British colony(殖民地) in 1840. In this year the first British people came to settle in the new country. More and more settlers came from Britain later.The Maoris were friendly to the first settlers. But soon the new settlers wanted the Maoris’ land. So in 1844 there was fighting between them. This was the first of several wars between the two people. The next 50 years were very bad for Maoris. Many were killed in the wars. Many more died from the new diseases brought by the British. In 1840 there were perhaps 200 000 Maoris. By 1896 this number had fallen to 42 000.By this century the two people have lived in peace. For many years the “British” New Zealanders looked down on the Maoris. But in recent years they have had equal rights, and the Maori language is one of the languages of the country with English. Today there are about a quarter of a million Maoris, that is, about 9% of the population. Most of them live on North Island. They have a rich culture and a great love of singing and dancing.61.

He said to himself, “I should do something to help them. What can I do?” He thought of a plan to gather the stars from the music world and make a special record. The money from the record would help the starving people in Africa. Those famous singers and musicians were always very busy, but they were willing to come to the event(活动)from all over the country.During the Christmas holiday in 1984,Micheal Jackson and Lionel Richie were writing the words and music for records. They often talked about the music far into the night, when they finished the music, they called it “We Are the World.”On the evening of January 28th, 1985, forty-five singers made a historic recording. At 10 o’clock, every one sang part of chorus(合唱)and harmony(协调). At 4 the next morning, they started recording the solo vocal parts of the song. They finally finished recording at 8.On April 5th. more than 8,000 radio stations all over the world played “We Are the World” at the same time.66.

The pictures were of people who were so thin that they looked like beings from another planet. The camera focused(聚焦)on one man so that he looked directly at me, sitting in my comfortable living room. All around was the sound of death.It was clear that the world had not noticed this until now, you could hear the sadness in the voice of the reporter, Michael Buerk. At the endof the reporter he was silent. Paula started crying, then rushed upstairs to check our baby, Fifi, who was sleeping peacefully.I kept seeing the news pictures in my mind. What could I do? I was only a pop singer and by now not a very successful pop singer. All I could do was to make records which no one bought. But I would do that, I would give all the profits of the next Rats (the name of the music group he was in) record to Oxfam(an organization in Britain which helps poor music people around the world). What good would that do! It would only be a little money but it was more than I could give just from my bank account. Maybe some people would buy it because the profits were for Oxfam. And I would be protesting about disaster(灾难). But that was not enough.71. What do we learn about the writer from the passage?A. He felt really bad because the news report made him think of his own hard.B. After he saw a news report on TV about the famine in Ethiopia, he decided he had to dosomething about the problem.C.

The writer wished that__________.A. he would be a very successful pop singer if he could have sold all his recordsB. he would rather give all his money from the bank account than the little money made bymaking new recordsC. perhaps people would be interested in his records because they knew that the money theypaid for the records would go to OxfamD. he would make records which no one boughtKey:71—75 BCDBCDA nobleman and a businessman once met in a restaurant. For their lunch, they both ordered soup. When it was brought to the table, the nobleman took a taste, but the soup was so hot that he burnt his mouth, and tears came to his eyes.Seeing this, the businessman asked him why he was weeping. The nobleman felt ashamed to admit that he had burnt his mouth and answered, “Sir, I once had a brother who committed(犯) a great crime (罪行) for which he was hanged, and I was thinking of his death, which made me weep.”The businessman, believing his story, began to eat his soup. He too burnt his mouth, so that he had tears in his eyes. Noticing this, the nobleman asked him, “Sir, why do you weep?” The businessman, who now saw that the nobleman had cheated him, answered, “Ah, I am weeping because you were not hanged together with your brother.”76.

It changes the computer’s 8 1 from machine language into a form that people can 82 . There are several kinds of output devices(装置).Suppose a shoe store owner wants to know which style of shoe is 83 best, he uses a printer, which prints or types the 84 of shoes sold on a long strep (条) of paper. The computer print-out shows him 85 shoes he should order.A city planner, though, may use her computer in a different 86 . She wants to plan a new bus route to serve the largest number of 87 . Using a plotter (绘图仪) as the output, she gets a drawing, actually a 88 , showing the route chosen by the computer.Students in many schools are taught by a computer. Some of these 89 are in foreign languages. To learn a language, you must 90 it spokencorrectly. These computers have an audio(音响) output. They actually produce the 91 of the language perfectly pronounced.The modern computer is truly a wonderful machine. But it is not able to think92 itself. It is only as smart (聪明) as the person who prepares its program. Nor can a computer produce correct answers 93 it is fed into correct information. A computer is nothing more than a human 94 . Just as you use a hammer to help you drive a nail into a wall, so you use a computer to help you work out a problem. Computers are our 95 , not our masters.81. A. questions B. results C. position D.
