We left by car in the afternoon. It was a Range Rover with four-wheel drive. It took us three hours to get there. After we arrived at 5:15 p.m., we fixed the tent, then made coffee and had a short rest. After that, we went hunting, using a falcon(猎鹰). We spent two hours without finding anything. On our way back to the camp, my cousin saw a rabbit. I removed the falcons bead cover and let go of the aggressive falcon. When the rabbit saw the falcon, it ran fast, but my falcon was a professional hunter. He flew up and came down to trick the rabbit. After two minutes, the rabbit was caught. We took back it to the camp to cook our dinner. We ate the delicious food, drank Arabic coffee, and sat around the fire talking until 10:30 p.m. We left the camp the next day at 7 oclock in the morning. We went north. However, around 10:00 a.m. our car got stuck in the sand! We spent about three hours trying to pull out the car without any progress. Finally, we decided to walk. As it was hard for an old man or a young boy to walk more than 40km in the desert, I decided to get help myself. I took a bottle of water with me and started to walk south alone. I knew the way well, but it was a long way in the sand. I walked more than four hours without stopping. When I felt so tired and thirsty, I stopped to rest. I drank all the water and slept for around two hours. When I got up, it was dark. I continued to walk south. I was worried about my uncle and cousin. Suddenly, I met a Bedouin man who was riding his camel. He took me to his house. When I had had enough rest, I asked him to take me to the road where I found a car. it took me to the city to get help. I had one day to get back to my uncle and cousin.

And now a big research study confirms it. Professor Barry Wellmans term is “networked individualism”. Its not the easiest concept to grasp. In fact, the words seem to contradict each other. How can we be individualistic and networked at the same time? You need other people for network. Heres what he means. Until the internet and e-mail came along, our social network involved flesh-and-blood relatives, friends, neighbors, and colleagues. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to person in real life. But the latest study confirms that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced a great deal of social activities and person-to-person interaction. Some people worry that the Internet is turning us into isolated people who shut out other people in favor of a false world on computer screens To the contrary, the study discovered that the Internet connects us with more real people than expected- helpful people who can give advice on careers, medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told the researchers that the Internet plays an important or crucial role in helping them deal with major life decisions. So we network individuals are pretty tricky: were keeping more to ourselves, while at the same time reaching out to more people, all with just the click of a computer mouse!第44题单选 The term “networked individualism” is used to refer to _.A.the way that modern people communicate on the InternetB.a social activity popular with North AmericansC.the contradiction within network communicationD.a newly invented Internet software参考答案：A第45题单选 With the wide use of Internet, some people fear that_.A.people will become isolatedB.interpersonal relation will disappearC.people will be controlled by networkD.there will be too many social activities参考答案：A第46题单选 According to the latest research, electronic interaction through computer is _.A.highly rewardingB.a waste of timeC.only informativeD.an escape from social life参考答案：A第47题单选 Why does the writer say network individuals are tricky?A.Because they sometimes play tricks on peoplB.Because they refuse person-to-person communicatioC.Because they can stay alone while remaining sociablD.Because they feel puzzled when communicating with each othe参考答案：CPassage Four“I love you Bob.” “I love you too, Nancy.” it was 2 a.m., and I was hearing my parents voices through the thin wall separating my bedroom from theirs. Their loving words were sweet, touchingand surprising. My parents married on September 14, 1940, after a brief dating. She was nearly 30 and knew it was time to start a family. The handsome well-educated man who came by the office where she worked looked like a good bet. He was attracted by her figure, her blue eyes. The romance didnt last long. Seeds of difference grew almost immediately. She liked to travel; he hated the thought. He loved golf; she did not. He was a Republican, she a loyal Democrat. They fought at the bridge table, at the dinner table, over money, over the perceived shortcomings of their respective in-laws. There was a hope that they would change once they retired, and the angry winds did calm somewhat, but what remained changed itself into bright, hard bitterness. “I always thought wed ” my mother would begin, before launching into a precise li
