Passage One

One of the most interesting experiments in electronic communication I've ever seen is coming from Wave. It's real-time e-mail. What that means is that as you're typing a message in Wave, either a new

message or a reply, the person you’re writing to can see what you're typing as you type it. Sounds awful, right?

You don’t have to use Wave in this real-time way. It also works as a standard e-mail. What’s really different about Wave is that if you’re replying to a message and the person you're replying to happen to be online, they can jump into the conversation at that point, and change what is an e-mail conversation into an instant message conversation or a chat.

Wave right now is still closed to most users. And Wave isn't yet connected to other communication systems, like regular e-mail, which means that the only people we can Wave with are other people on Wave as well. So we don’t yet know what using Wave will be like once it gets crowded like e-mail. Also, the technology behind Wave is far

more demanding on servers and the Internet itself than regular e-mail or chat, so we don’t know if the technology will work at scale. But Wave really is a current re-think of e-mail. A lot of people won’t like it. A lot of people didn’t like e-mail either when it first showed up. But people will find real uses for Wave or whatever it becomes, and it's one of the most interesting new takes on

communication. Even if you don't like it, it will make you think differently about e-mail.

36. What is special about Wave?

A. It makes people see each other online.

B. It enables people to send real-time e-mails.

C. It allows you to send more e-mails at the same time.

D. It can be easily connected to other communication systems. 37. It is uncertain that Wave will work on a large scale because ______.

A. people cannot find practical uses for it B. it will be a challenge to regular e-mail C. the technology it needs is more complicated D. many people do not understand how it works 38. We know from the last paragraph that ______.

A. Wave is a basis for face-to-face communication on line B. Wave allows people to look at e-mail from a new angle C. most Internet users will have access to Wave D. Wave is now as popular as standard e-mail 39. What is the author's attitude toward Wave?

A. Optimistic. B. Indifferent. C. Pessimistic. D. Critical.

Passage Two

Well, it could not have got better for young Kavya Shivashankar, a 13-year-old student from Olathe, Kansas as she came out very

successfully at the Scripps National Spelling Bee 2009 (2009全美 拼写大赛). On Thursday night she defeated the other 11 finalists to win the 82nd Scripps National Spelling Bee, taking home more than $40,000 cash money along with other prizes.

Kavya Shivashankar, whose parents migrated to the United States from India, and who aims to become a doctor, enjoys playing the violin, bicycling, swimming and learning Indian classical dance.

Thing came a bit late in Kavya’s life since she could win the

championship with her fourth appearance in the competition. The last three times when she had taken part in the same competition she had finished Tenth, Eighth and Fourth.

However, this time Kavya proved her courage and determination by winning the title she had been competing for so long. Her last

challenge was to spell out \one who is indifferent, mostly in religious matters. She spelled it correctly and a big smile appeared on her face. Kavya wrote the words on her palm each time and spelled every word correctly.

After winning Kavya exelaimed,\’t believe it happened It feels kind of unreal. \competition. Her father, Mirle Shivashankar said, \

competitiveness is in her.., but she doesn’t show that. She still
