Don Shiffler didn’t think much about it when his three-year-old son said that the thin, green rock he found was a dinosaur (恐龙) egg.
Think again, Dad. Researchers say the “rock” young David Shiffler found is the oldest evidence (证据) of a meat-eating, egg-laying dinosaur.
The family was on their way home from a camping trip, having just seen “The Land Before Time”, a cartoon (动画片) about a young dinosaur, and Shiffler said David had dinosaurs on his mind.
“Everything he picked up that day was a dinosaur egg,” said Shiffler.
Without giving it serious thought, Shiffler placed the unusual “rock” on a shelf, where it remained for nearly two months.
David, however, kept telling his father that the coin-sized rock was important.
“I knew it was a dinosaur egg,” David, now four, said last month at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, where the fossilized (化石的) piece of eggshell is now on show.
After Dad finally gave in and brought the piece to the museum, experts examined it carefully. They discovered that it was about 150 million years old — a major discovery that is changing scientists’ understanding of when meat-eating, egg-laying dinosaurs first appeared.
4. How did Don Shiffler first react to the rock his son found
A. He kept it safely on a shelf.
B. He didn’t take it seriously.
C. He realized it was a dinosaur egg.
D. He thought of taking it to the museum.
5. Which of the following best explains why David believed the rock was dinosaur egg
A. He was full of imagination.
B. He was an unusually clever boy.
C. He could watch things carefully.
D. He had made a study of dinosaurs.
6 Why did Don Shiffler decide to take the rock to the museum
A. He found it was valuable.
B. His son told him it was very old.
C. His son kept saying it was important.
D. He had got a call from the museum.
7. Before David’s discovery, scientists used to think that meat-eating, egg-laying dinosaurs________.
A. hadn’t appeared on the earth
B. hadn’t appeared in America
C. had appeared on the earth much later
D. had appeared on the earth much earlier
C
People these days worry that courtesy(礼貌) is becoming a thing of the past. To check out the truth, US magazine Reader’s Digest carried out a study. They did three tests in 35 countries.
In the first test, a reporter walked into a public building 20 times behind different people to see if they held the door open. In the second, a reporter bought things from 20 shops and recorded whether the sales assistants said “Thank you”. In the third, a reporter dropped a bag full of papers in 20 busy streets to see if anyone would help pick them up.
According to the survey, the most impolite cities in the world are in Asia.
Asians argued that they did the study only by Western ideas of courtesy.
“How can we judge someone’s value simply by whether they hold a door open ” says a19-year-old student John Christopher Padilla, in the Philippine capital, Manila.
Li Jin, a teacher in Hong Kong, says that whenever she has visitors she serves them the best food and sees them off. Westerners, however, often allow guests to help themselves. “Westerners may think Chinese are pushy, but they’re just trying to be polite,” Li says.
“I think Eastern and Western societies have different understanding about politeness,” says an Indian university student.
“South Korea is certainly a polite nation,” says Li Binghe, a 30-year-old from Seoul. “Our politeness is more about respect, especially to old people. You always see people giving their seats to old people and offering a hand when they see someone carrying heavy luggage.”
In fact, people in different cultures have different ways of showing politeness. It is not fair to say one culture is more polite than another. Instead, we should try to understand and respect these differences. After all, kindness and respect are valued in every culture around the world.
8. What did Reader’s Digest want to find out by doing the study
A. The truth about courtesy in different countries.
B. The reason why people paid attention to courtesy.
C. How people in Asian countries showed courtesy.
D. How people in different countries understood courtesy.
9. What does John Christopher Padilla really mean by what he says
A. Holding a door open is impossible in Asia.
B. There are different ways to hold a door open.
C. There are many other ways to show politeness.
D. Holding a door open doesn’t mean politeness.
10. Why did Reader’s Digest get a result of the survey that Asians are not pleased with
A. They did the survey only in 35 countries.
B. They did the survey only by Western ideas.
C. They judged courtesy differently in Asia.
D. They did the survey only in impolite Asian cities.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. The plan for the survey.
B. The result of the survey.
C. The purpose of the survey.
D. The argument about the survey.

Professor Kevin Warwick is an expert in cybernetics — the study of communication systems in humans, animals, and machines.
What would happen if the human brain were connected to a powerful computer That is what Kevin Warwick wants to find out. “I want to try to change things, to have a go at completely changing what it means to be human,” he says.
Soon he will have an operation. A glass tube(管状物) will be placed around a group of nerves in his arm. Inside the tube, there will be tiny computer circuits(线路). These will pick up messages being sent to the brain and send them to a computer.
Then the experiment will begin. Says Kevin Warwick: “Pain provides a clear electronic signal(信号) on the nerves as it moves from its starting point to the brain. We want to find out what happens if that signal is sent to the computer and then played back again. Will I feel the same pain ”
It is not just about pain. The human nervous system sends many other messages to the brain. The project aims to find whether all of these can be stored on a computer and then played back into the human body.
This could serve many different purposes. The computer could provide eyes for a blind person. Anxious or unhappy people are often given medicine to make them feel better. But what if they could put feelings of happiness directly into their minds
Imagine that you are thousands of miles away from your loved ones. You love them and long to be back with them. Instead of writing a letter, you store these feelings on a computer and send them to your family as an email.
Professor Warwick now believes that the success of his new experiment could lead to the evolution(进化) of humans. A human will be able to use the memory(记忆) and mathematical power of the computer. He or she will be able to communicate thoughts and feelings directly across the planet using the Internet. People have used their intelligence(智力) to create increasingly intelligent machines. Has the time now come for the two to join together
12. What will the computer circuits be used to do
A. Send messages to the brain.
B. Send messages to a computer.
C. Store messages from the computer.
D. Store messages from the nervous system.
13. What is the purpose of the messages stored on a computer
A. To reduce pain.
B. To improve memory.
C To improve the human body.
D. To get them back when necessary.
14. What does “the two” in the last paragraph refer to
A. Human evolution and machines.
B. Humans and human intelligence.
C. Human intelligence and computers.
D. Human evolution and intelligence.
15. Which of the following words can best describe Professor Warwick
A. Hard-working. B. Creative.
C. Clever. D. Brave.

A Party for a Nurse
Debby was a young nurse who worked in a children’s hospital. She was loved by all the sick children who had to be there, because she was really a kind-hearted person and treated them as her own brothers and sisters. She took good care of them and always spent time with them, comforting them and telling them interesting stories. It gave her a lot of satisfaction to know that she was bringing happiness to them and helping them to get well again.
One evening there was a big dance at the hospital. Most of the doctors and nurses would be there, but of course, some had to be left to look after the children, and Debby was not one of the lucky ones who were free to go to the dance. She liked dancing very much, so when she had to start work while her friends were getting ready to go to the dance, she felt very sorry for herself, though she knew she should stay with the children.
Among the sick children there was a boy called Jimmy, who was seven years old. Poor Jimmy had had a very serious illness. Now he was hardly able to move any part of his body except his hands, but he was always happy and always thinking about other people instead of himself. When he knew that Debby had to miss the dance because of them, he felt a little sad, wondering what they could do for her so that she would have a nice evening.

People these days worry that courtesy(礼貌) is becoming a thing of the past. To check out the truth, US magazine Reader’s Digest carried out a study. They did three tests in 35 countries.
In the first test, a reporter walked into a public building 20 times behind different people to see if they held the door open. In the second, a reporter bought things from 20 shops and recorded whether the sales assistants said “Thank you”. In the third, a reporter dropped a bag full of papers in 20 busy streets to see if anyone would help pick them up.
According to the survey, the most impolite cities in the world are in Asia.
Asians argued that they did the study only by Western ideas of courtesy.
“How can we judge someone’s value simply by whether they hold a door open ” says a19-year-old student John Christopher Padilla, in the Philippine capital, Manila.
Li Jin, a teacher in Hong Kong, says that whenever she has visitors she serves them the best food and sees them off. Westerners, however, often allow guests to help themselves. “Westerners may think Chinese are pushy, but they’re just trying to be polite,” Li says.
“I think Eastern and Western societies have different understanding about politeness,” says an Indian university student.
“South Korea is certainly a polite nation,” says Li Binghe, a 30-year-old from Seoul. “Our politeness is more about respect, especially to old people. You always see people giving their seats to old people and offering a hand when they see someone carrying heavy luggage.”
In fact, people in different cultures have different ways of showing politeness. It is not fair to say one culture is more polite than another. Instead, we should try to understand and respect these differences. After all, kindness and respect are valued in every culture around the world.
8. What did Reader’s Digest want to find out by doing the study
A. The truth about courtesy in different countries.
B. The reason why people paid attention to courtesy.
C. How people in Asian countries showed courtesy.
D. How people in different countries understood courtesy.
9. What does John Christopher Padilla really mean by what he says
A. Holding a door open is impossible in Asia.
B. There are different ways to hold a door open.
C. There are many other ways to show politeness.
D. Holding a door open doesn’t mean politeness.
10. Why did Reader’s Digest get a result of the survey that Asians are not pleased with
A. They did the survey only in 35 countries.
B. They did the survey only by Western ideas.
C. They judged courtesy differently in Asia.
D. They did the survey only in impolite Asian cities.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. The plan for the survey.
B. The result of the survey.
C. The purpose of the survey.
D. The argument about the survey.

Professor Kevin Warwick is an expert in cybernetics — the study of communication systems in humans, animals, and machines.
What would happen if the human brain were connected to a powerful computer That is what Kevin Warwick wants to find out. “I want to try to change things, to have a go at completely changing what it means to be human,” he says.
Soon he will have an operation. A glass tube(管状物) will be placed around a group of nerves in his arm. Inside the tube, there will be tiny computer circuits(线路). These will pick up messages being sent to the brain and send them to a computer.
Then the experiment will begin. Says Kevin Warwick: “Pain provides a clear electronic signal(信号) on the nerves as it moves from its starting point to the brain. We want to find out what happens if that signal is sent to the computer and then played back again. Will I feel the same pain ”
It is not just about pain. The human nervous system sends many other messages to the brain. The project aims to find whether all of these can be stored on a computer and then played back into the human body.
This could serve many different purposes. The computer could provide eyes for a blind person. Anxious or unhappy people are often given medicine to make them feel better. But what if they could put feelings of happiness directly into their minds
Imagine that you are thousands of miles away from your loved ones. You love them and long to be back with them. Instead of writing a letter, you store these feelings on a computer and send them to your family as an email.
Professor Warwick now believes that the success of his new experiment could lead to the evolution(进化) of humans. A human will be able to use the memory(记忆) and mathematical power of the computer. He or she will be able to communicate thoughts and feelings directly across the planet using the Internet. People have used their intelligence(智力) to create increasingly intelligent machines. Has the time now come for the two to join together
12. What will the computer circuits be used to do
A. Send messages to the brain.
B. Send messages to a computer.
C. Store messages from the computer.
D. Store messages from the nervous system.
13. What is the purpose of the messages stored on a computer
A. To reduce pain.
B. To improve memory.
C To improve the human body.
D. To get them back when necessary.
14. What does “the two” in the last paragraph refer to
A. Human evolution and machines.
B. Humans and human intelligence.
C. Human intelligence and computers.
D. Human evolution and intelligence.
15. Which of the following words can best describe Professor Warwick
A. Hard-working. B. Creative.
C. Clever. D. Brave.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. B

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A Party for a Nurse
Debby was a young nurse who worked in a children’s hospital. She was loved by all the sick children who had to be there, because she was really a kind-hearted person and treated them as her own brothers and sisters. She took good care of them and always spent time with them, comforting them and telling them interesting stories. It gave her a lot of satisfaction to know that she was bringing happiness to them and helping them to get well again.
One evening there was a big dance at the hospital. Most of the doctors and nurses would be there, but of course, some had to be left to look after the children, and Debby was not one of the lucky ones who were free to go to the dance. She liked dancing very much, so when she had to start work while her friends were getting ready to go to the dance, she felt very sorry for herself, though she knew she should stay with the children.
Among the sick children there was a boy called Jimmy, who was seven years old. Poor Jimmy had had a very serious illness. Now he was hardly able to move any part of his body except his hands, but he was always happy and always thinking about other people instead of himself. When he knew that Debby had to miss the dance because of them, he felt a little sad, wondering what they could do for her so that she would have a nice evening.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 “Maybe the other children will have some good ideas,” he thought. So Jimmy talked with them about the matter. One child suggested that they should ask the hospital to arrange for Debby to go to the dance, as they could take care of themselves that evening. Another child said that they could prepare some snacks and drinks for her to enjoy. All at once, Jimmy had an idea. “Since she can’t go to the hospital dance, why not hold a party for her in our room tonight ” he said.
The children all said Jimmy’s idea of holding a party for Debby in their room was the best one. So they set about making some preparations. The moment Debby entered the room, they went up to her, offered her their snacks and drinks and invited her to dance with them. There, lying in bed, Jimmy greeted Debby warmly. “Thank you for looking after us, Debby. I’d get up and dance with you too if I was able to,” he added. Suddenly the hospital dance seemed very far away. To Debby, it was the most pleasant evening she had ever had.
