‏Directions: Supply a topic sentence for the following paragraph. ‎‏_______________________________________________________. A good starting point is narrowing down the type of car you want or need. Be realistic. You may envision yourself cruising around town in a little convertible, but that won’t leave much room for the kids and dogs. Once you’ve settled on the basic vehicle, do some research to find out which vehicles have good reliability ratings. The Internet and books can help you pick out the high maintenance turkeys. The next step is finding the model you are looking for. Used car lots will give you an idea of price, but they can be expensive and full of used car salesmen. Check your local paper, car buyers’ magazines and the Internet. When you finally track down what looks good, arrange to have your mechanic inspect it. Never omit this step. After your mechanic gives the car the OK, all that’s left is to haggle over the price.‎‏‎
答案: 【 Finding a reliable used car at an affordable price requires both planning and persistence.

These online relationships often cross cultural, economical, national, age and societal boundaries in ways not even possible in the real world.‎However, when you are talking to people online, you have no way of telling what the person you are talking to is like.

然而,当通过网络和人交谈时,你无从知道与你交谈的人是什么样的人。没有办法看到对方,你无法对他们做出正确的判断,而且除非你迈出危险的一步—在现实生活中见面,否则,你永远不知道同你交谈的人是哪一种人。

​Directions: Translate the following paragraph into Chinese.‌
Internet TV most often refers to television shows that are available to watch on the Internet via downloading or streaming video. Most networks now feature their television programs on Internet TV sections of the show’s official website. However, these are often only viewable to Internet users located within the United States. Unlike streaming video, downloadable video allows users to keep the video content on their computers, and is the most popular method of watching Internet TV.‌
The major benefits of Internet TV include programming selection and flexibility. Unlike regular television, Internet TV users can select virtually any program and episode they choose to watch at any given time. Internet TV watchers also don’t need to record programs with a digital video recorder in order to pause, rewind or fast forward through certain sections—both streaming and downloading sites allow users these capabilities with Internet TV. ‌
​‌
答案: 【 网络电视常指能从网上下载或者通过流媒体来播放观看的电视节目。如今美国许多广播电视网把电视节目放在节目官网的网络电视频道里, 但是, 只有本土的网络用户才能观看到这些视频。与流媒体不同,可下载的视频能够储存至用户电脑,这也是观看网络电视最流行的方式。
网络电视最大的优点是节目的可选择性和灵活性。与普通电视不同,网络电视用户可以在任何时间选择观看几乎任何节目和片段。他们也不需要通过数字视频录像机来录制节目以实现暂停、重播或者快进,网络电视通过流媒体和下载网站为用户提供这些功能。

14、填空题:
‎Section C‌‎Directions: Write a short essay with a clear central idea and effective development in about 150 words. You should base your writing on the following situation and give consideration to the unity, coherence and variety of each paragraph. ‌‎ ‌‎Your best friend recently has become   addicted to online chat rooms and games and your friendship has started to   suffer since you do not approve of his/her practice. What do you plan to do   to maintain this friendship?‌‎‌
答案: 【 A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed
First, I will tell him/her although I disapprove of his/her addiction to the Internet, I still cherish our friendship and it is just because we are friends and I care for his/her interests that I suggest him/her to stay away from too much online chat and games which are harmful.
Then, I will go on to explain why addiction to the online chat room and games are no good for him: It wastes a lot of time, may seriously affect his study or work, may cut him/her off from the really world, and prevent him/her from doing exercises and getting involved in more interesting and meaningful social activities. And I will find some cases from the newspaper or the Internet about people having similar troubles and thus resulting in serious consequences to prove my ideas.
Finally, I will try my best to ask my friend to go to parks, or do sports, or do some volunteer work with me to drive him/her away from the computer.
