单选题 When a conductor in Spain asked to see her train
ticket, Janet Loops, an exercise instructor from Palo Alto, Calif., reached for
her purse-and discovered her wallet was gone. She had no ticket, passport,
credit cards, traveler's checks, cash. It took nearly a week to get a new
passport and traveler's checks. Her trip was almost ruined. To
guard against such disasters, especially, overseas, some experts suggest
carrying your money and documents in a small, flat pouch around your neck and
tucked under your clothing. A fanny pack can be used if carried in front, but be
alert-it can be cut off. Other possible ways to foil(阻挠) pickpockets: Wrap
rubber bands around a wallet to make it harder to lift from a pocket. Have
zippers sewn into your blazer pockets. The key is to stay alert
and "pack your common sense," says Alfred Boza, a Miami Beach police detective.
Know, for instance, that thieves could be watching for you to leave' your bags
unattended briefly at airport security checkpoints. If you're
driving in unfamiliar places, keep as little as possible in your car's passenger
area, where "smash and grab" thieves can get it. That means hiding luggage in
the trunk and leaving nothing of value inside the passenger area when the car is
parked. Also never leave maps-the mark of a tourist-visible. "Know where you're
going before you get there," Boza says. "When shopping, leave your most
expensive purchase for last." Ask at your hotel what parts of the city are
dangerous, and avoid them. Before leaving his hotel room, Robin Myers, a
computer researcher in Cupertino, Calif. , puts cameras and other articles too
large for the hotel safe into luggage with combination locks.
Wherever you are - in case of an emergency - have a phone credit card and know
how to use it. The card will enable you to call an 800 number for help, sparing
you the need for coins or collect calls.
单选题Visitors to Britain are always complaining about English food because they rarely get a chance to eat it. Most of the restaurants in large towns have foreign owners and serve foreign food. Those who do know English food are clear that it can be really very good. Furthermore, some people are not really interested in food. They think people eat to live, not live to eat. So they prefer food that is simple and easy to cook, or ready prepared food which only needs heating up before eating.

单选题Directions: After reading the following passage, you will
find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each
question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.You should make

single line through the centre. Online
services are managed by a host system that maintains a base of information
available to satellite users. Users of so-called "dumb" terminals (i.e., those
without processing capability) simply access the information base via programs
stored on the system. Personal computer (PC) users typically access the host
through a modem (调制解调器). A PC software program serves as an interface (接口)
between the server and a PC, allowing the user to operate through the online
system and select different databases using a keyboard or a mouse.
National and regional online systems usually have local telephone numbers
that PC modems can call to access either a local information base or an indirect
long-distance connection, thus reducing long-distance telephone fees. Some
online systems allow users to copy large volumes of information onto a local
memory storage device, which also reduces the time the user is connected to the
online system. Besides offering a great number of different
information bases, ranging from full-text journal libraries to reports of
missing children, online services allow users to, for example, reserve airline
tickets, buy stocks, purchase goods, and communicate with other users. In
exchange for the service, users usually pay a monthly membership fee. They may
also pay to connect to various databases on the service or to download
information.

The Bush administration is considering
an audit of the national school lunch program to make sure that all the children
receiving free and reduced-price lunches come from families that are truly
low-income. The Department of Agriculture says about 28 million
children get their lunch each day through the program, which cost 68 billion in
2002. A USDA study last year estimated that one in five children participating
might be ineligible because the family's income is too high. USDA estimates that
10 billion of the funding bought lunches for ineligible children.
A family of four with an annual income of up to 23,530 qualify for free
meals. Families that make 33,485 qualify for reduced-price lunches costing up to
40 cents. Administration officials and lawmakers say they're
trying to keep recipients honest while not scaring away needy families. What
happens with the program won't just affect how many children receive free
chicken nuggets, chocolate milk and canned fruit salad. States and school
districts use the program figures to estimate poverty levels at schools, so the
results also could affect the amount of government aid at all levels that makes
its way down to struggling schools. Schools rely on parents to
report their income but generally don't require proof. "When you start
tightening up the scrutiny on these applications, families become fearful and
they don't ap ply," says Gaye Lynn MacDonald of the school food service
association.
