It’s reported that a company called MicroCHIPS has developed a wirelessly controlled device(裝置). The device is put under the skin and can supply a drug directly into the patient’s body. People give the name “microchips” to it.
Microchips bring good news to patients with long-term( 長(zhǎng)期的) illnesses, for example, Osteoporosis( 骨質(zhì)疏松癥). People with Osteoporosis have to get daily injections( 注射) of medicine. One type of treatment requires injections for two years. Many patients stop taking the medicine because of the pain and stress of the infections. However, microchips can deal with it. Doctors will program the device before putting it under the skin, and the device has the ability to release(釋放) a dose (劑量) at a given time, every single day. One microchip can hold a full year’s worth of medicine.
Microchips may one day free (使…… 擺脫)people from having to remember to take their medicine, or get injections. The device may also be useful in treating other long-term diseases, including heart disease, cancer and even AIDS.
小題1:What is the passage mainly about?
A．It introduces the company MicroCHIPS.
B．It introduces a new wirelessly controlled device called “ microchips”.
C．It introduces some common long-tern diseases.
D．It’s about how the device called“microchips”works.

A．Because of the pain and stress of the injections.

① Put the device under the skin.
② The device releases a dose at a given time.
③ Doctors program it.
A．①②③B．②③①C．③①②D．③②①

小題1:B
小題2:A
小題3:C
短文屬于說(shuō)明文。介紹了microchips的開發(fā)、功能及使用。
小題1:主旨大意題。本文主要講的就是microchips。

It seems school children all over the world are not satisfied with their school food. Cherie Blair, the wife of Prime Minister Tony Blair, said that she would prepare a packed lunch for her son if school dinners do not improve. So what do students of your age eat for lunch at school?
Japan
High schools have dining halls, which serve everything from noodles to rice, but not hamburgers and chips. Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls, meat or fish, and vegetables.
The United States
A common menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried(油炸的)potatoes or roast chicken, fruit and cookies. School lunches must also provide food with protein(蛋白質(zhì)),vitamin A, vitamin C, ironand calories.
Australia
Meat piesand hotdogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops. But as the nation pays more attention to children’s health, healthier foods have started to find their way onto school menus.
Many schools have used a traffic light system. The sale of red-labeled (標(biāo)簽) foods includingchocolate and soft drinks, is served only twice a week. Healthier green-labeled foods such as sandwiches, corn and watermelon, however are served every day.
In some schools, students have a choice of up to 89 foods to choose from, including popcorn and rice.
South Africa
Most of South Africa’s schools do not serve meals at all. Classes end at 1:30 pm and students get their own lunches. Many students bring food from home, usually sandwiches.
Fast food and fried food sell the best among students, which has led to a rise in obesity among children. But as more people began to realize the fact that being too fat may cause different illnesses, some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition(營(yíng)養(yǎng)). Now students at these schools are provided with lunches of porridge(粥) with vegetables, such as cabbages, carrots and tomatoes.

TOKYO, JAPAN--What do you do when you see a cockroach (蟑螂）？ Do you hit it with a newspaper? Do you step on it?
When researchers at Tokyo University see a cockroach, they take the remote control and make the cockroach turn around, run left or right, or go forward. These scientists are changing the cockroaches into robots. Each cockroach has a very small pack that has in it a microprocessor(微處理器）.Then researchers can send signals from the remote control to the pack. The signals control the movements of the cockroaches.
Why does anyone want to control a cockroach? “Insects can do many things that people can’t,” says Isao Shimoyama, head of robot research at Tokyo University. In a few years, he says, these robot insects will carry very small cameras. They will be able to move through earthquake rubble(瓦礫）to look for people or move under doors to find information about someone.
This may seem strange, but the Japanese government thinks the research is very important. The government is giving the scientists $ 5 million for this research.
First, the researchers breed (培育)hundreds of cockroaches. They use only the American cockroach because it is bigger and stronger than other cockroaches. Then they choose the best cockroaches and remove their wings and antennae(觸須）. They put small packs where the antennae were. The packs weigh about three grams, or about two times the weight of the cockroaches themselves. “Cockroaches are very strong,” says Ralph Holzer, who is a researcher at Tokyo University. “They can lift 20 times their own weight. ”
With a remote control, the scientists send signals to the packs. When a cockroach gets the signal, it moves. The problem is that the cockroaches don’t always move in the right direction.
小題1:The scientists are changing the cockroaches into robots because ______.
A．they want cockroaches to do things people can’t in the future
B．they want to control the movements of the cockroaches
C．they want cockroaches to take photos of the earthquakes
D．they want to send signals to the packs on the cockroaches
小題2:What can cockroaches do to help people?
A．They can lift 20 times their own weight.
B．They can help people to carry very small cameras.
C．They can breed hundreds of cockroaches.
D．They can search for those people in rubble after an earthquake.
小題3:Scientists control cockroaches’ movements ______.
A．by removing their wings
B．by sending signals from the remote control
C．by using very small cameras
D．by removing their antennae
小題4:What problem do the rcscarchcrs meet with?
A．The cockroachcs sometimes clon;t move.
B．The cockroachcs sometimes move in ihc wrong direction.
C．The cockroachcs arc too big to move through earthquake rubble.
D．The cockroachcs can only lift 20 times their own weight.

Several years ago， a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America. One was a very rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.
The reporter was talking to them about being important. “How do we know if someone is really important?” the reporter asked the banker. The banker thought for a few moments and then said,” I think anybody who is invited to the Whiter House to meet the President of the United States is really important. ”
The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. “Do you agree with that?” she asked. The man shook his head, “No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You’d only be important if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from the president of another country, and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it. ”
The reporter turned to the third man. “Do you think so?” “No, I don’t.” he said. “I don’t think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important. ” “Then what would make the visitor important?” the reporter and the other two men asked.
“Oh, I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang, and the President picked up the receiver, listened and then said, “It’s for you.”
小題1:There are _______ in this passage.
