The earliest daily newspaper was started in Rome in 59 BC. In the 700s the worlds first printed newspaper was published. Europe didnt have a regularly printed newspaper until 1609, when one was started in Germany.The first regularly published newspaper in English was printed in Amsterdam in 1620. In 1621, an English newspaper was started in London and was published once a week. The first daily English newspaper was the Daily Courant, which came out in March 1702.In 1690, Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston .But not long after it was first published, the government stopped the paper. In 1704, John Campbell started the Boston Newspaper, the first newspaper published daily in the American colonies（殖民地）. By 1760, the colonies had more than thirty daily newspapers.There are now about 1, 800 daily papers in the United States.Today, as a group, newspapers in English have the largest circulation (发行量)in the world .But the largest circulation for a newspaper is that of the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun .

They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw (取回) or deposit money in different locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the “cashless society” is not on the horizonits already there.While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments (人员安排) to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customers for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer-analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize (强调) now, which to develop for the future, and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself. Many other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and public utilities (公用事业) to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.59. According to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to _. A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes B. obtain more convenient services than other people do C. enjoy greater trust from the storekeeper D. cash money wherever he wishes to60.

A. in the future all the Americans will use credit cards B. credit cards are mainly used in the United States only C. nowadays many Americans do not pay in cash D. it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before61. The phrase “ring up sales” in line 2 paragraph 2 most probably means “_”. A. make an order of goods B. record sales on a cash register C. call the sales manager D. keep track of the goods in stock62. What is this passage mainly about? A. Approaches to the commercial use of computers. B. Conveniences brought about by computers in business. C. Significance of automation in commercial enterprises. D. Advantages of credit cards in business C.Not long ago, people thought babies were not able to learn things until they were five or six months old. Yet doctors in the United States say babies begin learning on their first day of life.Scientists note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment. They say a baby will smile if her mother does something the baby likes. A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother or other caregiver. This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings.One study shows that babies can learn before they are born. The researchers placed a tape recorder on the stomach of a pregnant woman. Then, they played a recording of a short story. On the day the baby was born, the researchers attempted to find if he knew the sounds of the story repeated while in his mother. They did this by placing a device in the mouth of the newborn baby.The baby would hear the story if he moved his mouth one way. If the baby moved his mouth the other way, he would hear a different story. The researchers say the baby clearly liked the story he heard before he was born. They say the baby would move his mouth so he could hear the story again and again.Another study shows how mothers can strongly influence social development and language skills in their children.Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years. The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivity of the mothers. The women were considered sensitive if they supported their childrens activities and did not interfere unnecessarily. They tested the children for thinking and language development when they were three years old. Also, the researchers observed the women for signs of depression.The children of depressed women did not do as well in tests as the children of women who did not suffer from depression. The children of depressed women did poorly in tests of language skills and understanding what they hear.These children also were less cooperative and had more problems dealing with other people. The researchers noted that the sensitivity of the mothers was important to the intelligence development of their children. Children did better when their mothers were caring, even when they suffered from depression.63.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the factor that influences intelligence development in babies? A. The environment.B. Mothers sensitivity.C. Their peers(同龄人) D. Education before birth.64.What is the purpose of the experiment in which newborn babies heard the stories? A. To prove that babies can learn before they are born. B. To prove that babies can learn on the first day they are born. C. To show mothers can strongly influence intelligence development in their babies. D. To indicate early education has a deep effect on the babies language skills.65.Which group of children did the worst in tests of language skills? A. The children of depressed mothers who cared little for their children. B. The children of women who did not suffer from depression. C. The children of depressed but caring mothers. D. Children with high communication abilities.66.What is the main idea of the passage? A. Scientific findings about how babies develop before birth. B. Scientific findings about how the environment has an effect on babies intelligence. C. A study shows babies are not able to learn things until they are rice or six months old. D. Scientific findings about how intelligence develops in babies. D.Gateway Academy Pre-Sessional Courses（预修课程）Our pre-sessional courses are ideal for students who have a conditional place at a British university, but who need to achieve a certain level of English in order to be accepted. The course aims to provide students with the English language and study skills that they need in order to be successful at university or another academic establishment. It is important to note that completion of the course does not guarantee students entrance into a university. It is necessary for students to show during the course that they have understood the information and skills that they have been taught, and can apply them to their work. Pre-sessional students at Gateway Academy will benefit from: Small class sizes (no more than 10 students per class) Twenty three hours of tuition per week Individual supp
