When I was in primary school, I got into an argument with a boy in my class. I have forgotten what the argument was about, but I have never forgotten the lesson learned that day. I was convinced that “I” was right and “he” was wrong — and he was just as convinced that “I” was wrong and “he” was right. The teacher decided to teach us a very important lesson. She brought us up to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other. In the middle of her desk was a large, round object. I could clearly see that it was black. She asked the boy what color the object was. “White,” he answered. I couldn’t believe he said the object was white, when it was obviously black! Another argument started between my classmate and me, this time about the color of the object. The teacher told me to go to stand where the boy was standing and told him to come to stand where I had been. We changed places, and then she asked me what the color of the object was. I had to answer, “White.” It was an object with two differently colored sides, and from his viewpoint it was white. Only from my side was it black. My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day: You must stand in the other person’s shoes and look at the situation through their eyes in order to truly understand their perspective (看法). 【1】When brought up to the front of the class, the two students were sitting . A.side by side B.face to face C.back to back D.facing the blackboard 【2】From the author’s classmate’s side, the first time he couldn’t know . A.his side of the object was black B.his side of the object was white C.the other side of the object was black D.the other side of the object was white 【3】What can we conclude from the text? A.We should imagine that we’re in the other person’s situation. B.A teacher should give students a lesson before the class. C.A large, round object has two differently colored sides. D.A lesson learned in the past should never be forgotten. 【4】Which of the following can best describe the teacher? A.Patient. B.Wise. C.Rude. D.Kind. |

The police in Canada had to deal with the escape of 12 million bees on Monday. The bees flew off after the truck that was carrying them turned over. Most of the insects stayed close by, but enough were loose to cause a possible danger to the public. Police told people to stay indoors and keep their windows closed. Bee expert Chris Maund said it was lucky that the accident happened in the countryside. “Fortunately it happened in an area where there are no restaurants or houses around. If it happened in an area like a city center, all the bees would have been killed right away.” Mr. Maund said that people are not in danger as long as they keep their distance. The bees were on their way back to their main beehives (蜂房) after being used to pollinate (授粉) blueberries. Bees and the traveling pollination service are an important part of Canada’s fruit industry. Maund said the truck and broken hives were being left on the highway overnight. He believes the bees will return naturally. The bees probably did not go very far because of the rainy weather. Bees breathe through their skin and can drown(溺死) in the rain. Firefighters wearing full protective clothes were at the scene making the bees wet to keep them from flying around. They also sprayed (喷) the bees with smoke to make them feel sleepy. The smoke can also make them think there is a fire, causing them to return to save their honey. 【1】Where did the accident happen? A.Near an international bee research center . B.On the highway in the Canadian countryside. C.On the way to a highway restaurant. D.Near a big city center in Canada. 【2】Who came to the scene to deal with the rest of the bees? A.The bee experts. B.The police. C.The local people. D.The fire fighters. 【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A.The bees had just pollinated blueberries. B.Smoke and water often make bees feel energetic. C.The experts believed that these bees had gone far away. D.The Canadian traveling pollination service is in trouble now. |

“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Similarly, if we drink a little more water every day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor less often. A healthy diet is made up of water and different kinds of foods. We know that healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and fish , are important as they offer energy and fiber, without giving us much fat and sugar. But why is water important? The human body needs water to survive. Water is important as it carries poisons and waste out of our bodies. However, doctors advise us to drink plenty of water , much more than the small amount we need to stay alive. Some doctors believe that water is important for health in all kinds of ways. They believe that many illnesses and health problems appear as a result of dehydration--a lack of water. Most people are dehydrated (脱水）at least some of time, although they probably don’t know it. It is surprising to learn that if we feel thirsty, we are already in the first stages of dehydration. In fact, we are advised to drink water before we feel thirsty. These doctors think that health problems such as headaches, high blood pressure could be helped if people drink more water. They also believe that drinking more water can help people who are fat. Water contains no calories so it will not make us gain weight. If we drink water , we will probably drink less sugary soft drinks. Doctors also believe that drinking more water may stop people from overeating. They say that many people think that they are hungry when they are, in fact, thirsty. Doctors suggest, therefore, that we eat less food and drink more water. There are still many health problems that cannot be solved by drinking water, so we should not stop going to see the doctor completely. 【1】From the text, we know water can carry_______. A.energy and fibre in our bodies. B.fruit, vegetables and fish in our bodies. C.sugar and fat out of our bodies. D.poisons and waste out of our bodies. 【2】Lack of water caused many people to put on weight because_______. A.It makes them hungry. B.they think they are hungry and eat too much. C.Water has no calories. D.they think they are thirsty and eat less. 【3】Doctors suggest that we should _________. A.eat less food and drink less water B.not eat food and just drink water C.eat less food and drink more water D.eat more food and drink more water 【4】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text? A.People should drink water and not eat fruit. B.Some health problems start because of a lack of water. C.Fruit provides us with energy and fiber . D.Drinking more water may stop people from overeating. |

Nao, the first robot able to show feelings, has been created by a European research team. When Nao is sad, he lowers his head and looks down. When he’s happy, he raises his arms for a hug. Nothing is out of the ordinary, except that Nao is a robot. “We’re modeling the first years of life,” says Lola Canamero, a computer scientist at the University of Hertforshire. “The feelings are shown through physical gestures and body movements rather than facial or verbal(言语的) expressions.” In the future, says the scientist, robots are likely to act as companions, provide support for old people, and help people shop online. In such uses, the display of feeling will be important in making the interactions(交往) more natural and comfortable. Nao has been programmed to copy the emotional skills of a one-year-old child. It can memorize faces, and knows the basic rules of good and bad. Based on these it can decide how to react to what is going on. The actions going with each feeling are pre-programmed, but Nao decides for itself when to display them. Nao is also programmed to have different personalities. A more independent robot is less likely to call for help when exploring a room, while a more fearful robot will show distress if it finds something in the room that may be harmful. Canamero’s team will take its emotional programming forward into medical applications. Part of the project will look at ways to use robots in hospitals to support the roles of doctors, nurses and parents. Children might find that a small, friendly-looking robot that can understand their emotional states makes them less anxious. “We want to explore different roles—the robots will help the children to understand their treatment and explain what they have to do. We want to help the children to control their anxiety.” she says. 【1】According to the text, Nao_______. A.displays different feelings in different situations B.is able to imitate adult emotional displays C.can remember people’s feelings D.learns emotions from facial expressions 【2】What can we learn from the text? A.Scientists worked on facial and spoken expressions to create Nao’s emotions. B.The time when Nao displays feelings has been pre-programmed. C.Emotional programming is used in medicine production. D.Robots with emotional skills can help children feel more comfortable. 【3】What does the underlined word “distress” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A.Courage. B.Anxiety. C.Anger. D.Satisfaction. 【4】What is the text mainly about? A.The relationship between humans and robots. B.The roles that robots play in different fields. C.The first robot able to show feelings. D.The long history of robots. |

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s summertime — time once again for mosquitoes to make their appearance. And once they appear, mosquitoes are a total pain. They land on you, bite you, suck out some blood and leave behind an itchy welt (发痒的红肿). 【1】 Female mosquitoes must find blood in order to reproduce, so mosquitoes come equipped with finely tuned sensors to help them locate the blood they need. Mosquitoes’ weapons Mosquitoes have perfected three different types of sensors. First, mosquitoes can sense several different chemicals. Mosquitoes can smell carbon dioxide and lactic acid (乳酸) up to 100 feet away. 【2】 Second, mosquitoes have very good eyesight. If you are wearing clothing that contrasts with the background, and if you move while wearing that clothing, mosquitoes can see you. It’s a good bet that anything moving is alive, and therefore full of blood.Finally, mosquitoes come equipped with temperature sensors, so they can find warm-blood mammals and birds very easily. 【3】 The female mosquito sticks her proboscis (喙) into you. She sucks about five microliters of your blood into her abdomen. After she has bitten you, some saliva (唾液) remains in the wound. 【4】 The area swells and you tich. Eventually, the selling goes away, but the itch remains until your immune cells break down the saliva proteins. Our defense methods Because mosquitoes are both a nuisance (讨厌的东西) and a danger, people prefer to stay away from mosquitoes. One way to do that is to use a chemical called DEET, which seems to black a mosquito’s chemical sensors. 【5】 In some cities there are even trucks that drive around town to spray for mosquitoes. Finally there are to traps. The most popular traps turn propane (丙烷) into carbon dioxide and warmth to attract mosquitoes. Over time, by catching large numbers of mosquitoes, these traps can cause the collapse of the mosquito population in the area. A.Another way to control mosquitoes is with insecticides (杀虫剂) that kill them. B.How mosquitoes work is unknown to most of us. C.Once a mosquito lands on you, it is time to bite. D.Some bites of mosquitoes are more serious than you thought. E.Mammals and birds give off these gases as part of their normal breathing. F.The proteins from the saliva create an immune response from your body. G.But if you ignore the fact that mosquitoes are so annoying they really are amazing. |
