71--75

There were smiling children all the way. Charily they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.

I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.

It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight, Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave hack.

From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.

The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug (拥抱). I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.

I looked forward to the return journey.

Not all students found it easyto smile all the time. "When volunteers help other people, smiling is thebest way to make them understand that volunteers are ready and sincere."One team leader said.
    A teacher in charge of the team thought theteam′s work was not all fun and games. "Most of our students will beteachers after they leave the university. Smiling is necessary for goodteachers. We hope they can learn how to smile at each other," she said.

    Two stations on the Ezonexam LAN transmit at the same time, resulting in a collision. What happens when a collision occurs on the network? (Choose all that apply)

    A.Each device on the Ethernet segment stops transmitting for a short time.

    B.A jam signal informs all devices that a collision occurred.

    C.When data transmission resumes, the devices that were involved in the collision have priority to transmit.

    D.The devices that are involved in the collision stops transmitting for a short time.

    E.The collision invokes a random back-off algorithm.


    正确答案:BDE
    解析:Explanation:
    When a host on an Ethernet LAN has information to send, the following steps are taken:
    1. A device with a frame. to send listens until Ethernet is not busy.
    2. When the Ethernet is not busy, the sender begins sending the frame.
    3. The sender listens to make sure that no collision occurred.
    4. Once the senders hear the collision, they each send a jamming signal, to ensure that all stations recognize the collision.
    5. After the jamming is complete, each sender randomizes a timer and waits that long.
    6. When each timer expires, the process starts over with step 1.

    Incorrect Answers:
    A. Only the stations involved in the collision stop transmitting for a short time, not all stations on the LAN.
    C. No priority is given to any stations once a collision has occurred.

    A.were canceleD
    B.had been canceleD
    C.having canceleD
    D.having been canceleD.

    答案:D
    解析:
    本题考查非谓语

    句意:所有的航班因为暴风雪已经取消了,我们决定乘坐火车

    独立主格结构在句中一般只做状语,且用逗号和句子其他成分隔开,且前后主语不一致,逗号前后两个成分,后部分句首并没有并列连词and/so等,前部分也没有because等,说明这是一个简单句,而逗号前面只是一个状语,而不是一个并列句/复合句。如果是并列句,则句子应该写成:All flights had been canceled because of the snowstorm,so we decided to take the train.如果是复合句,则句子应该写成:Because all flights had been canceled because of the snowstorm,we decided to take the train.由此可以排除使用两句的选项AB,

    因为它们都是一个句子的谓语结构;而all flights和cancel之间明显是被动关系,而C则也是句子的谓语结构,则它表明all flights和cancel之间为主动关系,排除.

    D项是语法上的独立主格结构,该结构中的非谓语结构having been canceled的逻辑主语是其前的all flights,并非句子的主语we;它表明all flights和cancel之间为被动关系,且cancel该动作发生在谓语动词decided to...之前.

    故正确答案为D选项。
