1. Jason Queally is one of the fastest men in the world on a bicycle. But do you really call the thing in the picture a bicycle Well, yes. Jason’s human-powered (人力的) machine, with its two wheels, is, of course, a bicycle.
2. Every year, a very important human-powered bicycle race is held in Nevada, USA. The speed of the bike is measured (测定) for only 200 metres, but players take more than a kilometer to get their bikes going fast. Jason Queally’s fastest speed for the 200-metre race was 103.5 kilometers an hour.
3. At this year’s race, Jason failed to reach the finishing line. He was speeding along at about seventy kilometers an hour when he began to lose control (控制) of his bike. When he tried to slow down, it began to smoke. Soon the inside of his bike was filled with smoke. He couldn’t see, and he couldn’t breathe. At seventy kilometers an hour, a crash (撞击) could be very serious. Jason was frightened. But he managed to stop the bike safely. He would repair his bicycle and try again another time to be the world’s fastest man on a bike. Better luck next time, Jason.
4. Maybe you’re surprised that these bikes go so quickly, but is it useful It could be. Cars are becoming more and more popular, and they are very safe, comfortable and easy to drive, but they also pollute the air in our cities.

1. Americans love sports─ they love to play them, to watch them on television, and to talk about them. But this hobby sometimes has serous results─ at least to the players. For example, when people play tennis, sometimes they hurt their elbow (肘部) and in this way they develop “tennis elbow”. Also it is easy to hurt a knee in a football game. These injuries (损伤) happen while the player is having fun, but they still hurt.
2. A few months ago, Kathleen Simmons, who loves playing volleyball, hurt her knee in a volleyball game. Her doctor told her that she needed a very difficult operation (手术) or she might not be able to play again. She felt very sad and didn’t know what to do.
3. Then Simmons learned about “video operation”. With the help of this new science in medicine, doctors can now repair many injuries and get people back on the playing field and back to their jobs much faster. Simmons found a hospital that was using this new science and went to see the doctor there. The doctors told her the operation could help.
4. For this operation, her doctor didn’t have to open her knee. Instead he put a very small camera lens (镜头) inside her knee. The lens sent back pictures, which appeared on a television screen. As he worked, he could see the inside of her knee on the TV. With the help of the large pictures on the screen, the doctor knew exactly what to do when he was making the repairs.
5. Simmons started walking five days after her operation. “My knee hurt a lot the first few days,” she said. “But I felt better very quickly.” Now, six months after her operation, Simmons can do everything she did before her injury. “It feels like a new knee,” she said. “I can even play volleyball again.”
1. Do Americans love sports
2. What sport is Simmons interested in
3. What did the doctor put inside Simmons’ knee
4. What problem may people have when they play sports
5. What’s the advantage (优点) of the new science

1. Body and health Health watchers say that in many countries people will get taller. We will also get heavier. This is because we’re eating more junk food (垃圾食品) and exercising less. However, we may not have to diet (节食) in the future. Scientists are trying to find a new way to help us. Just wait!
2. Where to work In 20 to 30 years’ time, only 20% of people will work in an office, and more of us will work at home. But that doesn’t mean we’ll be able to watch TV all day. With videophones and webcams (网络摄像机), the manager will be able to keep in touch and see exactly what we’re doing. Uh-oh.
3. Online… all the time Before long, we’ll all be on the Internet--- all the time. Everything will have inventions that connect us to the Internet. For example, with very small cameras in your sunglasses, you can take a picture and send it to a friend.
4. Modern homes By the 2030s most homes will be fully “modern”. The computer can help us do lots of things just when we make a phone call home. Scanners in your fridge will read the bar codes on food bags, and then tell you when the food goes bad. Even better, your fridge will go online to order food when it’s empty. No more shopping!
5. More brain (大脑) power Scientists say they’ll be able to build a computer that is like a human brain by 2020. Robots with these man-made brains will do many jobs that humans do today. Road travel should become safer because cars will control (控制) themselves. So by the 2030s, there won’t be any more car accidents. We’ll be able to put computer chips (芯片) in the human brain to make us cleverer and increase our knowledge. But soon computers will become cleverer than people. Some scientists say that by 2050, computers may even take control of our lives. Terrible, huh
1. Will people have to diet in the future
2. Will most people work at home or in an office in 20 to 30 years’ time
3. What can help you take and send a picture in the future
4. Why is the future traffic safer
5. What will life be like in the future

1. The Amazon rainforest is home to millions of different kinds of animals, plants, and birds. Most of the world’s fresh water is here and the forest plants clean the Earth’s air every day.
2. Chico was born near the Amazon town, Brazil, in 1944 and started working when he was very young. Like the rest of his family, the boy got the money but taking a little rubber from the trees in the forest. (The trees are not hurt when the rubber is taken.) The forest and its people lived together comfortably and peacefully.
3. But some people think too much about themselves and never think about the future. In 1980, the forest was burned to build roads, houses and factories. Chico was angry; he wanted to save the forest! He talked to the government workers, but they didn’t listen to him. They were still clearing the rainforests to make quick, easy money. “Many voices are stronger than one,” he thought, so Chico held group meetings. He discovered that hundreds of people agreed with him. His hope grew. More people came together to try to stop the work of the forest clearers. Large areas of the forest were saved. Later he traveled to many other countries for international help. People soon became very much interested in this brave Brazilian. In the next few years Chico’s name became famous all over the world. The government of Brazil started making plans to protect large areas of the Amazon rainforest.
4. But as Chico’s dreams started coming true, someone stopped him in the only possible way. The famous forest fighter was murdered right outside his home on December 22, 1988. Chico’s life was cut short, but his brave new ideas continued in other people. One man changed the world’s ideas. After his death, people around the world sent money to help Chico’s work.

1. One cool April 22 morning, people started the day as usual. Yet it was not a normal day. What’s so special about April 22 The answer is simple. It is Earth Day. People all over the world celebrate this important day. The idea of having a special day to celebrate Earth began in the 1960s. Life was very different then. Few people talked or even thought about the environment. Most people had no idea how dirty our air and water were.
2. On April 22, 1970, twenty million (百万) Americans joined the first Earth Day activities. They showed that people really did want to do something about the environment. Since then laws have been passed to protect the air, water, land, and animals.
3. The vehicles such as cars and buses you ride in must pass tests to make sure they don’t cause too much pollution. Thanks to this law, cars today release (排放) about half as many bad chemicals as cars did back in 1970. As a result, the air we breathe is cleaner than it once was.
4. Rivers and lakes are also cleaner today than they were in the 1970s. It’s a good thing because they needed a lot of help. The Cuyahoga River in Ohio was so polluted that rubbish and oil on the river even caught fire! Today, the river is cleaner. It no longer burns. It’s healthy enough for birds, fish, and other animals.
5. Now the celebration has spread to other countries. More than 175 countries take part each year.
6. In 2007, people in China paid much attention to a big problem. People were throwing away 27 million plastic bags a day! People had “Bye-Bye Throwaway Culture Week.” They wanted everyone to see how polluted it was to throw away so many plastic bags. In 2008, China passed new laws against them.
7. Every April 22, millions get together to clean and protect Earth. They also celebrate how far we have come. Our job is to put this knowledge to work. You can help keep our planet healthy too!

1. Knowing about yourself means not only that you find out what you're good at and what you like，it also means discovering what you're not good at and what you don't like. Both help you to see your aim(目标) in life.
2. Although most students would be unhappy if they found that they had failed a very difficult physics course, they have in fact learned a lot about themselves. They know that they should not become engineers or physical scientists. So failing can help a student to live a much happier life if he or she draws something out of the failing. They may then decide on their aim and choose the kind of work they would be fit for and they would like to do.
　　3. It is impossible to decide whether or not you like something until you have tried it. If you decide that you would like to play the piano, you need to take more than one lesson before you can know whether you are really interested in it or you are able to do well.
　　4. It is not enough to want to be a great pianist. You also have to like the hard practice and long training before you become one. If you would enjoy being a great pianist but hate the work，forget it.
　　5. It's a good plan to try as many ideas as possible when you are still young. And then you will be able to find out what your tame interests(兴趣) are.

These can be valuable (宝贵的) to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friends know you better.
4. Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve.

1. Started in 1636, Harvard University(哈佛大学) is the oldest of all the colleges and universities in the United States. Yale Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard.
2. In the early years, these schools were nearly the same. Only young men went to college. All the students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin and Greek. Little was known about science. And few people know that one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world. When the students graduated, most of them became ministers or teachers.
3. In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could study in Harvard’s law school. In 1825, besides(除…之外) Latin and Greek, Harvard began to teach modern languages, such as French and German. Soon it began to teach American history.

1. Animals can move from place to place, but plants cannot. When an animal is under attack, it can run away or fight back. Plants certainly cannot run away, and they have no teeth or claws. But plants can defend(保护) themselves by using both physical and chemical ways.
2. Some plants have their own ways to keep animals away. For example, the leaves of the holly(冬青) plant have sharp prickles(刺) that stop grass-eating animals. Holly leaves on lower places have more prickles than leaves on upper places. This is because the lower leaves are easier for most animals to reach.
3. Some plants, such as the oak tree(橡树), have thick and hard leaves that are difficult for animals to eat. Some grasses may contain a sandy material, eating such grasses wears down the animal’s teeth.
4. Many plants also have chemical defenses. Some plants produce chemicals that taste bitter or cause an unpleasant reaction. Some plants may fight against an attack by increasing the production of these chemicals. When a worm(虫子) bites a tobacco leaf(烟叶), the leaf produces a chemical smell.
5. Many plants depend on both physical and chemical defenses. A certain plant in China, for instance, has prickly leaves, and each prickle has poisonous water(毒液). Only one experience with this kind of plant will teach an animal to stay away from it in the future.
1. Can plants move from place to place
2. Can plants defend themselves by physical ways or by chemical ways
3. Why lower holly leaves have more prickles than upper ones

3. His only friend was a dog named Tige. He gave his dog enough to eat and drink, but sometimes he was not polite to it. He didn’t know that an unkind word sometimes could cut one’s heart like a knife.
4. One day as he walked down the street, a young lady was walking in front of him. Suddenly one of her bags dropped from her arms. As she stopped to pick it up, she dropped other bags. He came to help her. “Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” She said kindly, smiling.
5. A special feeling came to him. These were the first kind words he had ever heard. He watched her until she went far away, and then he whistled(吹口哨) to his dog and went directly to the river nearby.
6. “Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” He repeated the woman’s words. Then in a low voice he said to his dog, “You are a nice little dog!” Tige raised its ears as if it understood.
7. “Umm! Even a dog likes it!” he said. “Well, Tige, I won’t say unkind words to you any more.” Tige waved its tail happily.
8. The boy thought and thought. Finally he looked at himself in the river. He saw nothing but a dirty boy. He washed his face carefully. Again he looked. He saw a clean nice boy. He was amazed. From then on, he had a new life.

Passage 13 阅读短文，根据其内容回答问题。（共10分，每小题2分）
1. Some children are born bosses(领导，指挥者). They have a need to make decisions, manage their environment and lead rather than follow. Too much rule in the hands of the young isn’t healthy for children or the family. Family expert John Taylor says, “Children have secret feelings of weakness. They are always trying to feel safe.” It’s the parents’ duty—not the child’s—to provide safety.
2. When a “boss child” doesn’t learn limits(限制) at home, troubles will appear outside the family. The child may have trouble obeying(服从) teachers, for example, or keeping friends. It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your ruling ways.
3. Bossy kids are often unusually bright. Their parents need to be especially careful to manage them. Bossy kids usually work more on the mother. It’s important for both parents to know their child’s weakness, to agree on key rules and to back each up.
4. Even as you try to be kind—to a point—don’t give up your parental ruling post. Instead, stand your ground by using body language that tells your child who the boss is.
5. Good manners(礼貌) are important to family. Show a child by example how to ask for something rather than shout orders. Try asking your child to do things that are not too difficult. Then reward(奖励) him with a hug(拥抱) and words such as “Thank you. I like it when you listen to me.” Over time good manners will become associated(联系) with pleasure.
1. Is the passage mainly about how to teach children
2. Does boss children usually feel lonely or have a lot of friends
3. Which of the parents should know their child’s weakness
4. Why is it important to teach children good manners
5. What should parents be like to teach a boss child well

1. My mum was (and still is) a fast-food cook. My dad worked in a factory. When I was a little girl, my sister and I saw them come home very tired night after night. We knew how hard they worked and we appreciated(感谢) everything we received.
2. On the other hand, my kids see me work at the computer in the comfortable home. We live in a town where most children get pretty much everything they want. Heartfelt thanks are few. So how do we make sure the kids understand the value(价值) of all that they have
It’s important to explain(解释) to them why you can’t buy expensive presents. Today’s newspapers and TV programs seem to be calling on children to ask for everything, so it helps to discuss what’s really possible and what’s not.
It’s also necessary to show them not all presents come from a shop. For example, next holiday they can make cakes for all their friends and decorate the boxes themselves.
Give older children chances to serve in kitchens, tell them about people who have nothing on cold wet nights and tell them about parts of the world where food cannot be found.
Encourage them to give some of their pocket money to others. Give away unwanted clothes and toys to those who need them.
Set time to have them write down things they are thankful for. Then they will know all they have. And teach them to say thank you for any present they receive.
In the end, the most important thing is you should do everything you ask your kids to do.
1. Does the writer have any children
2. Who is the passage written for
3. How many pieces of advice(建议) does the passage give us
4. What’s wrong with today’s children

As the dogs made their way to the fence(栅栏), the little boy noticed something else inside the doghouse. Slowly another little ball appeared; this one noticeably smaller. Then in a somewhat awkward manner(笨拙地) the little pup began running toward the others, doing its best to catch up.
8. “I want that one,” the little boy said, pointing to the smallest puppy.
9. The farmer knelt(跪) down at the boy’s side and said, “Son, you don’t want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like those other dogs would.”
10. With that the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and began rolling up(卷起) one leg of his trousers. In doing so he showed a steel brace(金属支架) running down both sides of his leg and a specially made shoe. Looking back up at the farmer, he said, “You see, sir, I don’t run too well myself, and he will need someone who understands.”
11. Actually our world is full of people who need someone who understands.
1. Who came to see the puppies
2. Did he have enough money to buy a puppy
3. How many puppies did the farmer have
4. Why did the boy want the special dog
5. What is the possible ending of the story

Passage 17 阅读短文，根据其内容回答问题。（共10分，每小题2分）
1. Music is part of every culture on Earth. Many people feel that music makes life worth living. We can make music ourselves if we play an instrument(乐器) or sing. We can hear music on CDs or tapes, on radio or television and even on the Internet. Music gives up pleasure. It can cheer us up, or excite us.
2. Music can make us feel happy, sad, excited or calm—all kinds of feelings. But what is it Some people describe it as an artful form of sounds across time. These sounds might be loud or soft, high or low, quick and short, or slow and long. The sounds need to keep on for some time in some kinds of forms to become music.
3. Music, like language, is a special human form of communication. Also like language, there are many different kinds. In North America, people listen to jazz, rock, classical, folk, country, and many other kinds of music. Each kind of music has its own rules and “speaks” to us in its own way.
4. What we think of music depends on where we live. What Americans are used to listening to might sound strange to someone from another culture. It might not even sound like music. And also you can find that every country has its own typical instruments to show their traditional music.
5. Today, modern communications(通讯系统) make it possible for us to listen to music from all over the world. In this way music from one part of the world could influence(影响) music from another part.
6. Music goes along with many of our activities. We dance to music. We sing songs at school. Many of us exercise to music. We hear music in cars and stores. Music comes with many important moments.
7. Music pleases us. We listen to slow music, spiritual music, pop music, rock music, and opera. We have favorite performers. We hear music as the background in movies. Perhaps we go to the theater to see a musical movie—play with music, singing and often with dancing.

1. Can we hear music on the Internet
2. What kinds of feelings can music give us
3. Why can music all over the world influence each other today

1. Maybe you have more than one favorite TV show. Did you ever wonder where your favorite shows come from Did you ever wonder how they get to the TV set in your home
2. Some TV shows are made in TV studios. Some of these shows are broadcast live—that is, as they are being made. Some shows are taped in the studio. The tape gets played on TV later on.
3. Other TV shows are made outside of studios. Baseball and football games and other sports events come from stadiums. Some parts of news programs are broadcast “on the scene”. TV reporters go to the scenes of accidents, floods, and fires and describe what is happening.
4. The picture and sound signals go from the control room to a transmitter(传导器). The transmitter makes the signals stronger and sends them to a transmitting antenna(发射天线). The antenna is very tall. It changes the electric signals into invisible television signals that go through the air. The television signals go out from the antenna in all directions.
5. TV signals can get to the TV set at your home in several ways. They can go through the air to an antenna on your roof. The antenna picks up the signals and sends them through wires to your TV set. The signals could go to a cable TV company. The company sends the signals through a cable to your home. The TV signals could come right to your house from a satellite circling high above Earth. A satellite dish outside your home can pick up the TV signals and send them over wires to your TV set indoors.
6. Your TV set changes the television signals back into pictures and sound. Your set picks up the thin lines that the TV camera scanned(扫描).
7. A color TV set uses three electron guns to send out three colors—red, green and blue. These three colors make all the colors you see on your TV screen. The beams(光束) scan fast enough to paint a picture on your screen 30 times a second.
1. Are TV shows made in different places
2. What is the use of a transmitter
3. In how many ways can TV signals get to the TV set according to the passage
4. What are the basic colors for all the colors we see on TV

1.

Passage 22阅读短文，根据其内容回答问题。（共10分，每小题2分）
1. Li Mei puts her hand into the pocket, takes out her mobile phone and presses the talk key. “Hi, mum! I’m on the bus. I should be home in about 10 minutes.” Li Mei is one of many Chinese teenagers who live life “on the go” and use mobile phones.
2. Mobile phones make it possible for us to talk to anyone from anywhere. Modern mobile phones are more than just phones—they can be used as cameras and radios, and to surf the Internet. Many mobile phones have features such as playing games and listening to the music.
3. Mobile phones have changed our behavior(行为) and how we communicate. They are used everywhere—sometimes where they shouldn’t. One headmaster says that phones are not allowed in the classroom. “If a phone starts ringing in the classroom, teachers and other students cannot work well.” “I don’t dare to use the phone in school, because they will take it away from me,” says Hill, a student in London. Hill got his phone for his birthday, but his parents don’t let him use it in school. Some parents worry about that their children will spend too much time and money on phone calls.
4. Why are mobile phones so popular, especially among teenagers The answer seems to be that we have a need to stay in touch with friends and family no matter where we are or what we are doing. Having a mobile phone also makes us feel safer, since we can call for help when we are in danger. Of course, to many teenagers it is not only a useful thing but also a way to have fun and be cool.

Passage 23阅读短文，根据其内容回答问题。（共10分，每小题2分）
1. If you don’t know how much water you need, I’m not surprised. Different advice in recent newspapers appears to be against the old “8-a-day” advice we all grew up with. Is it necessary to drink down eight glasses of water daily, or is this already out of date
2. We’ve heard for years that eight glasses of water daily is necessary for a person to keep healthy. Your weight loss and health depend on it. Drink eight glasses of water daily and see clearer skin, better sleep, and improve eyesight. We’re warned of losing water without at least eight glasses. But, there are some new ideas of examining your daily diet, including what you eat, as well as what you drink.
3. The answer is … you need what you need! If it’s summer, you need more. If you’re exercising, you need more. If you’re a “normal” inactive person, and not exercising more than 15-20 minutes daily, you need no more than four glasses of water daily. Most drinks can be counted as part of your daily water intake. Although the World Health Organization suggests that eight cups, the old “8-a-day” rule is based on studies on people under difficult situations, including soldiers at high altitude and hospitalized patients what you and I need is different.
1. Is the writer surprised if you don’t know how much water you need
2. What does the old “8-a day” advice mean
3. Whom is the old “8-a day” rule for, for example

1. Many people seem to know well about the rain forests. Some people even go to the rain forests to spend some of their time trying to make friends with the plants and animals there. The scientists are actually hard at work studying the plants that grow in the very top level of a rain forest. Rain forests are one of the richest environments on Earth. They are home to millions of species of plants and animals. The red research raft provides scientists with a platform from which to study life in the treetops. Scientists can even sleep on the raft, so they can stay up in the treetops for days at a time.
2. Rain forests cover only about 6 percent of Earth’s land surface. However, they contain more than half of the plant species on Earth. Many of these plants provide useful medicines to use against human diseases. In fact, about 25 percent of prescription medicines in the United States are based on chemicals from rain forest plants. Scientists think that many new medicines might be developed from plants that are yet to be discovered.
3. Unluckily, rain forests are disappearing. Rain forest trees are being cut down for wood. Huge chunks of the forests are cleared to provide land for farm animals and crops. Scientists haven’t identified all the plants in these forests yet. Some scientists think thousands of kinds of plants that we’ll never even know about are being destroyed each year.
1. Is it difficult for scientists to study the rain forest plants
2. Where probably is the red research raft
3. How much of Earth’s land surface do rain forests cover

1. What’s the most important thing you’ve ever done in your life For me, it was the occasion (a time when something happens), a few weeks ago, when I was able to save someone’s life by being in the right place at the right time.
2. I was at the public swimming pool, and I was going to get dressed and go home. Because it was a cool, cloudy afternoon and beginning to get quite late, the pool was almost empty. The life guard was nowhere to be seen, and the only other swimmer was an eight-year-old girl.
3. As I got out of the pool and began to dry myself, the girl dived into the water again. After thirty seconds or more she still didn’t come to the surface, so I began to worry. I ran to the deep end of the pool, where I saw her struggling (挣扎) wildly underwater. I dived in to help her, and found that her long dark hair was caught in the drain （排水管）at the bottom of the pool. I tried to help her get free, but failed ---and, of course, she was dying from being under water for too long.
4. I swam to the surface and shouted for help, but there was no one there. Then I noticed an empty Coke bottle on a table near the pool. So I climbed out, smashed (to break) the bottle and dived back into the water with a piece of the broken glass. Using the sharp edges of the glass, I was able to cut through the girl’s hair and set her free. I managed to get her to the surface. She coughed out lots of water before she finally began to breathe normally again.
5. Then the life guard arrived on the scene and checked that the girl was all right and called her parents. When they heard what had happened, they kept thanking me for saving their daughter’s life. I was relieved (松了一口气) that she was OK, and I felt very proud of myself. After all, wouldn’t you have felt the same if you’d been in my place
1. Were there many people at the public swimming pool at that time
2. What happened to the girl
3. Was the phone call to the girl’s parents made by the life guard or the writer
4. How did the writer save the girl
5. What does the writer think of “saving the girl”

Passage 26 阅读短文，根据其内容回答问题。（共10分，每小题2分）
1. Surfing is the name for riding ocean waves on special boards. Did you know that surfing has been around for more than 200 years At first the sport was rougher (粗野的) and harder than it is today.
2. For one thing the early surfboards were heavy. They weighed as much as 150 pounds. A surfer needed great strength (力量) just to get the board from the beach to the water! Also the early surfers didn’t ride standing up. They rode just lying on their stomachs. That was the only way to control the large boards.
3. Those surfers lived in the islands of Polynesia, in the South Pacific. In 1778 the surfers took the sport to Hawaii. There surfing quickly became popular. The beaches and waves of Hawaii are perfect for surfing.
4. In 1907 George Freeth was the first person to ride a wave in the United States. He surfed in Redondo Beach in California.
5. For years the sport of surfing spread slowly. In the 1950s surfing was known as a young people’s sport because mostly young people seemed to enjoy it. In 1961 rules for surfers were written. The surfers themselves, along with some surfboard companies, made up the rules.
6. Today surfers are looked upon as sportsmen. Southern California is still the surfing center of the United States. Thousands of people surf there. Thousands more are fans of famous surfers. Surfing is here to stay.
7. Surfers must still be strong. To surf, a person should be able to swim well, both on top of and under the water. A surfer must also be able to float (漂浮) for a long time. A good surfer must keep his or her eyes open at all times, even underwater.
1. Was surfing an easy sport at first
2. How did the early surfers control the surfboard
3. Why did the sport of surfing quickly become popular in Hawaii

Passage 27阅读短文，根据其内容回答问题。（共10分，每小题2分）
1. Imagine having a bedroom that interacts with you. If you’re sad, it will arrange for some of your friends to come over to cheer you up. If you’re happy, it might respond by playing your favorite game with you.
2. Does it sound like something out of a science-fiction movie Well, it’s really something out of the Georgia Institute of Technology. Irfan Essa works at the computer lab there. He has developed a computer system that can look at you and recognize your mood. He calls it the “expression recognition system.” Essa says, “We are trying to get computers to act like a human brain. But the human brain is not like one computer, it is like many working together.”
3. In Essa’s system, many computers work together. First, a camera in the bedroom takes a picture of your face. The camera feeds the image to a computer. In the computer’s memory, there are pictures showing how the muscles of your face move when you are in different moods. For example cheek muscles move in one way when you are happy and smiling and in another way when you are nervous and tense. The computer compares your picture to the face-muscle images stored in its memory. It tries to find the best match. That’s how it figures out your mood! Then the computer sends messages to other computers in the system. If you look happy, a computer may put on lively music. If you look tired and discouraged, a different computer may turn on the TV for you.
4. How could the “expression recognition system” help us in important ways Essa thinks that the system can help us create computers that are better teachers. Many people learn new skills through computer programs. “When I teach, I look at people’s faces,” Essa explains. “If my students look confused, I know they didn’t understand. With this technology, a computer can also know if a student is learning.”
5. Today, this new technology can be found only in labs, but Essa predicts we’ll see it out of the lab in a few years. So, get ready. One day, you might walk into a room that will soon become your best friend.
1. Can the new computer system look at you and recognize your mood
2. What happens first in the bedroom in Essa’s system
3. Will the computer put on lively music or turn on the TV if you look happy
4. How does the “expression recognition system” help computers to be better teachers
5. What will future rooms be like

Passage 28阅读短文，根据其内容回答问题。（共10分，每小题2分）
1. When Sean Aiken bought a bike helmet(头盔), he never thought it would help him so soon. Only a week later, it saved his life. He was hit by a car while riding home from school in Tucson, Arizona. His bike was broken into pieces in the accident, but Sean was alive. His helmet protected him from serious head injury(负伤). “I used to think helmets were unnecessary. I thought I would never get hurt,” Sean said. “But it can and will happen to you if you’re not careful.” Sean later spoke before the Tucson City Council about the need of bike- helmet laws. This led to a new Arizona law that requires people under the age of 18 to wear a bike helmet while cycling.
2. Fifteen-year-old Mike Jones of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, knows about safety. Two years ago, he was seriously hurt in a car accident. Mike hurt his head badly when he was thrown from a van. “I don’t know why I didn’t wear a safety belt that day. Now I always wear it,” Mike said. Today, he can still think of that experience. “I used to love sports, but I can’t do them anymore. I can’t risk(冒险) getting another serious injury,” he said.
3. Like Mike, many people around the U.S. are becoming more safety-wise. “Parents can’t watch kids every minute. Kids must know how to be safe. It’s in their control and power,” says Susan Gallagher, director of the Safety Network.
4. New technology is also helping to prevent injuries. More people than ever before use products such as smoke alarms in their homes and seat belts in their cars. Most cyclists know that they should use bike helmets. New laws, such as the bike-helmet law Sean Aiken helped pass, are also making more people use these products. The number of serious injuries caused by car accident and fires has gone down over the years.
5. Kids are taking action to help prevent injuries. Like Scan Aiken and Mike Jones, they know that safety works.
1. Did the helmet save Sean Aiken’s life
2. What does the new Arizona law require
3. Why was Mike Jones seriously hurt in a car accident

1. Money doesn't grow on trees but sometimes a big family can help make it happen!
2. For years I wanted a flower garden. I'd spend hours thinking of different things I could plant there. We had five children, Matthew, Marvin, Helen and the twins, Alisa and Alan. I was too busy raising them to grow a garden.
3. We didn't have much money or time. Often when my children were little, one of them would want something that cost too much. I'd have to say, “Do you see a money tree outside Money doesn't grow on trees, you know.”
4. Finally, all five finished high school and college and were off on their own. I started thinking about having a garden again. I wasn't sure, though. I mean, gardens do cost money, and after all these years I was used to living with very little.
5. Then, one morning in spring, on Mother's Day, I was working in my kitchen. Suddenly, I heard cars outside. I looked out of the window and saw a new tree planted right in my yard. I knew it was a weeping willow (垂柳), because I saw things blowing around on all of its branches (树枝). Then I put my glasses on and I couldn't believe what I saw. There was a money tree in my yard!
6. I went outside to look. It was true! There were dollar bills, one hundred of them, taped (绑) all over the tree. I could buy many flowers with one hundred dollars. There was also a note; “I still do something for you. Love, Marvin.” Marvin kept his words, too. He dug up a nice flower bed for me. My other children bought me tools, and other things to help me such as gardening books.
7. That was three years ago. My garden is now very pretty. It is just the way I wanted it. When I go out to take care of my flowers, I don't seem to miss my children as much as I once did. It feels like they are right there with me.
1. Did the woman have five children
2. Did the woman want a flower garden of a money tree
3. What did the woman see in her yard on Mother’s Day
4. Why did Marvin give his mother a tree with much money in it
5. What does the sentences “Do you see a money tree outside Money doesn't grow
on trees.” really mean in English

Money is the root of evil.
金钱是罪恶的根源。

1. Mr. Harris taught sixth-grade science. On the first day of class, he gave us a talk about an animal called ‘birdcat’, which died out during the Ice Age. He passed around a skull(头骨) as he talked. We all took notes carefully and later we had a test.
2. When he returned my paper the next day, there was a big ‘X’ through each of my answer. I had failed! There had to be some mistakes! I had written down exactly what Mr. Harris said. Then I learned that everyone in the class had failed. What happened Very simple, Mr. Harris said. He had made up all that “birdcat”. There had never been any such animal. The information in our notes was, therefore, incorrect. Did you think you would get good marks for incorrect answers
3. Needless to say, we felt that was unfair. What kind of a test was this And what kind of a teacher
4. We should have figured it out, Mr. Harris said. After all, at the very moment he was passing around the “birdcat” skull, in truth a cat’s, hadn’t he been telling us no other findings about this animal except the skull He had told us many unbelievable things about the animal, such as the size, the colour, the strength…, but none of us had questioned.
