• 2．Fu Cong，a Chinese-born pianist，died on Monday at a hospital in London，where he had lived for many years.
     A lover of classical music from a young age，Mr.Fu began taking piano lessons when he was 7.He made his first stage appearance in 1952.The concert caught the attention of officials in Beijing，who selected him to compete and tour in Eastern Europe.Mr.Fu soon moved to Poland，where he studied at the Warsaw Conservatory （音乐学校） on a scholarship.To prepare for the fifth Chopin Competition in Warsaw in 1955，he practiced so hard that he hurt his fingers and was nearly cut from the first round of the competition.
     Mr.Fu was one of the first Chinese pianists to achieve global fame when he took third place in the International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw in 1955.He also won a special prize for his performance of Chopin's mazurkas.Almost overnight，he became a national hero.To China，Mr.Fu's recognition in a well-known international competition was evidence that the country could stand on its own artistically in the West.Chinese reporters came to interview Mr.Fu，while many others went to his father，Fu Lei，for advice on child-raising.
     In 1981，a volume of letters written by his father，was published in China.Full of advice，encouragement，life teachings and strict paternal love，the book Fu Lei's Family Letters became a best-seller in China.Besides influencing a generation of Chinese，Mr.Fu's words resonated（引起共鸣）long after his death with the person for whom they were intended.
     "My father had a saying that 'First you must be a person，then an artist，and then a musician，and only then can you be a pianist，'" Mr.Fu Cong once recalled in an interview. "Even now，I believe in this order-that it should be this way and that I am this way."
  
  （1）What is paragraph 2 mainly about？

• 3．Transportation and communication networks bring people together.Yet sometimes people themselves create barriers（障碍）to transportation and communication.In some countries，laws stop people from moving freely from place to place.Over the centuries，many groups of people have been denied the freedom to travel because of their race，religion，or nationality.In the Middle Ages，for example，Jews were often forbidden to move about freely within certain cities.South Africa's government used to require black Africans to carry passes when they travel within the country.Some governments require all citizens to carry identification papers and to report to government officials when they move.
     Countries set up customs posts at their borders.Foreign travellers must go through a customs inspection before they are allowed to travel in the country.Usually travelers have to carry special papers such as passports and visas（签证）.Some countries even limit the number of visitors to their country each year.Others allow tourists to visit only certain areas of the country，or they may require that travellers be with an official guide at all times during their stay.
     Many of those barriers to travel also act as barriers to communication.When two governments have conflicts with each other on important matters，they usually do not want their citizens to exchange news or ideas freely.Countries often try to keep military or industrial information secret.
     Today，people have the ability to travel，to communicate，and to transport goods more quickly and easily than ever before.Natural barriers that were difficult or dangerous to cross a hundred years ago can now be crossed easily.The barriers that people themselves make are not so easy to overcome.But in spite of all the different kinds of barriers，people continue to enjoy travel and the exchange of goods and ideas.
  
  （1）The examples in Paragraph 1 are used to tell the readers that

  .
  A．transportation and communication networks bring people together
  B．it's important to prevent people from transporting and communicating
  C．people made it difficult for themselves to transport and communicate
  D．natural barriers mainly influenced transportation and communication
  （2）How is the 2nd paragraph mainly organized？

  
  A．By listing several facts.
  B．By listing several figures.
  C．By following the order of time.
  D．By following the order of importance.
  （3）Which of the following may lead to people's less communication between countries？

  
  A．People today have the ability to travel without any of the barriers.
  B．The governments can't reach agreement each other on big issues.
  C．Citizens of some countries aren't good at exchanging news or ideas.
  D．Countries require their citizens to keep all the information secret.
  （4）We may learn from the passage that

  .
  A．people can not remove the obstacles made by nature and themselves
  B．man-made barriers are sometimes harder to overcome than natural ones
  C．with so many barriers，people can't travel and exchange goods and ideas
  D．natural barriers have always been difficult and dangerous to cross for us

• 9．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
      Ever since he was a kid，Colin had taken great interest in hiking （远足）.To celebrate his 40th birthday，he planned to climb Mountain Sunshine.
      The night before his journey，Colin filled his backpack with hiking poles，a homemade hamburger，and some other necessities.He drove off at 7 am the next day，his mountain bike in the trunk（后备箱）.When he was already on the way，he suddenly realized there was a possibility of bear attack.
      About an hour later，he arrived at a camp and checked in."Is there anything you need？"Vito，the camp manager，asked him.
      "Bear spray（驱熊喷雾），" said Colin.
      After finding a bottle，Vito offered him a ride.They trucked along a road until the forest got too thick.As Colin put his mountain bike against a bush so that he could recover it on the way back，Vito said，"I'll come for you if you're not back when the night falls." "Nothing to worry about，" Colin replied in a confident voice.
      With the bear spray in one pocket，Colin started hiking.He marked his trail（足迹，踪迹） and made lots of noise to drive away any curious animals.
      Before he knew it，it was getting dark.Not wanting to get caught in the dark，and satisfied with what he'd finished that day，he started to climb down the mountain，and soon recovered his bike.
      As he passed a marker showing 3 kilometers away from the camp，he suddenly stopped his bike-a bear stood in the middle of the narrow road，some hundred meters away.Knowing it could easily attack him if he sped up，Colin decided not to anger the bear.
  注意：
  1.写作词数应为150左右；

      The animal came in his direction，closer and closer.___________.
