The Internet, mobile phones and Ipads are part of our lives now. Technology is greatly affecting all ways of our lives, from the ways we work to the ways we play. And it even causes a number of social problems such as cloning humans.
　　We have had lots of technology and it has changed our lives a lot. There is no doubt that humans will continue to use more and more technology. Here are some examples of modern technology that will change our ideas and will affect our lives greatly.
　　Global positioning system (GPS) (全球定位系統(tǒng))
　　It’s a system that uses radio signals from satellites to show exact(精確地) information. It tells you where the user is on the earth in all weather conditions. It’s made up of three parts: satellites, control equipments (設(shè)備) on land and receivers.
　　Space Technology
　　Russian and American scientists have worked together for the international Space Station (ISS) for a long time. They hope the ISS will provide a long-lasting lab. Such a lab will bring humans limitless(無限的) advantages. It’s even hoped that one day space technology will take humans to their new houses in space.
Underwater Robot
Hercules is a kind of underwater robot with some high technology equipments. It will be used to search for ancient ships which were destroyed into the deep sea during their journey long ago.
The world is changing so quickly that it’s hard for us to catch up with all the new inventions because they seem to come out every month. It’s important for us to learn about new technology and the role that it plays in our lives. So we should be willing to accept modern technology, or we will fall behind the times.

Hi,dear teenagers! Do you know how to be healthy? Here are some rules you should follow.
First, eat different foods, especially fruit and vegetables. You may have a favourite food, but you’d better eat something different. If you eat different foods, you will probably get more nutrients your body needs.
Second, drink water and milk as often as possible. When you’re really thirsty, cool water is the No. 1 choice. Milk is a great drink that can give you more calcium your body needs to grow strong bones.
Third, listen to your body. How do you feel when you are full? When you are eating, notice how your body feels and when your stomach feels comfortably full. Eating too much will not make you feel comfortable and make you fat.
Fourth, limit screen time. Screen time is the time you watch TV, DVDS and videos, or using computers. It is good to take more exercise such as basketball, bike riding and swimming. You can’t watch TV for more than two hours a day.
Fifth, be active. One thing you’d like to do as a kid is to find out which activity you like best. Find ways to be active every day.
Follow these rules and you can be a healthy kid.

Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.
If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering(不開花的) plants.
Flowering plants can make seeds(種子). The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit.
Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores(孢子). Spores are very, very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores fall on wet and shady(陰涼的) places, they usually grow into new plants.
小題1:What fact does the passage lead you to believe?
A．Of all living things, animals are most important.
B．Spores are seeds.
C．All fruits of flowering plants have seeds.
D．Without plants, man will die out.
小題2:The paragraph following the passage will be about ________.
A．how plants can make food from air
B．how spores grow into new plants
C．why some plants have no seeds
D．why non-flowering plants are more important than flowering plants
小題3:This passage is most likely to be taken from ________.
A．a(chǎn) story bookB．a(chǎn) novel
C．a(chǎn) science magazineD．a(chǎn) laboratory report

If you put a buzzard(禿鷹) in a cage without a roof(頂棚), the bird will be a prisoner. Even though it can fly, it can’t fly through the open roof. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of 3 or 4 meters. Without space to run, he will not even try to fly, but will stay in his small jail(監(jiān)牢) for the rest of his life.
The ordinary bat that flies around at night cannot take off from the ground. If it is placed on the ground, all it can do is shuffle(穿梭) about helplessly. If it reaches a higher place, it will be able to throw itself into the air. Then it takes off quickly. But on flat ground, it will never fly.
A bee dropped into a cup will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but keeps trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will look for away where none exists, until it completely destroys itself.
In many ways, there are lots of people like the buzzard, the bat and the bee. They are struggling with all their problems and frustrations(挫折)，not realizing that the answer is right there above them.
小題1:A buzzard can’t fly through the open roof of a cage because       .
A．it is too big and heavy to fly up
B．it feels the space is too small to start the flight
C．it gets used to living in the cage without a roof
D．it would like to spend the rest of his life in the jail
小題2:Paragraph 2 mainly tells us that        .
A．the bat is a kind of smart bird
B．the bat can take off quickly on flat ground
C．the bat flies only at night
D．the bat can only take off from a higher place
小題3:Which is NOT true about the bee?
A．The bee doesn’t try to find a way to escape.
B．The bee will die if it isn’t taken out of the cup in time.
C．The bee always wants to escape from the cup near the bottom.
D．The bee doesn’t see the way out at the top.
小題4:What’s the purpose of the story?
A．Many people are like the buzzard, the bat and the bee.
B．Animals will also give up when in trouble.
C．We should try new ways to deal with difficulties.
D．We should solve problems by ourselves.

What would happen if you tried to blow a soap bubble in freezing weather? Would it freeze solid(固體) and fall to the ground? Would you have to hit it to break it? These questions happened to me on a cold winter day. It was too cold to play in the snow, but it was a perfect time to experiment with blowing frozen bubbles.
To blow frozen bubbles, I used dishwashing soap and a drop of glycerin（甘油） to make it even better. I chose a place out of the wind, and blew bubbles the same way I always do. I watched to see what would happen. Here’s what I learned.
If the temperature is low enough, the skin of the bubbles frosts over (結(jié)霜), becoming cloudy instead of clear. And what about those rainbow swirls（旋轉(zhuǎn)） you see in soap bubbles? The rainbow colors stay even when the bubbles frost, but they don’t swirl anymore. The bubbles still stay in the air. They don’t fall to the ground any faster than they would on a warm summer day.
When these frozen bubbles break, they don’t turn into small water drops as summer bubbles do. They turn into flashing rainbow confetti（碎屑） and move slowly to the ground. Sometimes a frozen bubble will roll across the snow without breaking. If nothing disturbs the bubble, it may stay there for a long time. Sometimes I could catch a bubble and hold it until the heat of my hand made it pop.
I learned another thing about blowing frozen bubbles. It’s so interesting that I want to try it again next year.
小題1:It is the perfect time to blow frozen bubbles on a ___________day.
A．cold winterB．warm springC．hot summerD．sunny autumn
小題2:When the frozen bubbles break, _________.
A．they make a big soundB．they turn into small drops
C．they fall to the ground like rain D．they become rainbow confetti
小題3:The purpose of the passage is _______.
A．to learn how to do a science experiment
B．to show the experiment of blowing frozen bubbles
C．to discover games that are fun to play in the snow
D．to invent a new kind of soap that makes stronger bubbles

When an animal helps another animal, it usually gets something valuable in return. For a long time, many scientists thought that only people could act generously just because it feels good.
However, a new study in Germany suggests that chimpanzees (黑猩猩)also do good things for no real reason. And so do children who are as young as 18 months of age. Maybe it is because humans and chimpanzees share an ancestor(祖先) about 6 million years ago.
People and chimpanzees appear to develop such features(特征) without any other training, says Warneken, a scientist in Germany. Warneken and his partners worked on adult chimpanzees that live on an island in the African country of Uganda. They also worked with 18-month-old children in Germany. The researchers performed three experiments on the adult chimpanzees and two experiments on the kids. In the first animal experiment，a person tried to reach his arm into a cage to get a stick，but he couldn’t reach it. A chimpanzee was in the cage，and it could reach the stick if it wanted to.
Thirty-six chimpanzees took part in this experiment one by one, and no chimpanzee saw what the other chimpanzees had done. Even though the animals hadn’t met the person before, they usually took the stick and gave it to the person. What’s more, they did this whether or not the person offered them bananas as a reward. In a similar experiment, 36 children acted in a similar way. They helped the person reach the stick, whether or not they were offered toys for their help.
Researchers did other experiments on chimpanzees and babies. No rewards were offered in either experiment. And still, both the chimpanzees and children went out of their way to help. Still, the new study is different from earlier findings. Researchers have found that chimpanzees don’t give rewards of food to other chimpanzees, even if it costs them nothing to be generous.
小題1:Warneken and his partners worked with ________.
A．young chimpanzee that live on an island
B．18-month-old children who live in Germany
C．kids who are living with adult chimpanzees
D．a(chǎn)dult chimpanzees that live on the African mountain
小題2:A new study in Germany suggests that ________.
A．people also share information for good reason
B．children know something at the age of 18 months
C．chimpanzees do good things for no real reason, too
D．humans should develop their abilities 6 million years ago
小題3: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？
A．Thirty-six chimpanzees joined in this experiment one by one
B．No chimpanzee saw what the other chimpanzees had done
C．The animals hadn’t met the person before the experiments
D．Chimpanzee gave the person the stick in order to get a reward
小題4:From the passage we know that ________.
A．both chimpanzees and children can find their way to help others
B．chimpanzees will reward good food to other chimpanzees
C．children is more generous than chimpanzees in some ways
D．both chimpanzees and children can do the difficult experiments
