Choose the best answer (根据短文内容, 选择最恰当的答案)：(12分)Young Inventors Latest ConceptsStudents across China, studying in the fields of engineering, science and technology, are developing a range of inventions that they hope will one day be marketable. Here are three examples from the minds of Chinas young inventors.Foot-Controlled MouseThis new kind of mouse is controlled by the feet instead of the hands, to help handicapped people when surfing the Internet. The new device is called a “surf mouse”, and looks like a pair of blue slippers. When users press the slippers with their forefeet, they are clicking the left mouse button; when people press with their heels, they are clicking the right mouse; when they roll their feet over the slippers, they can view Web pages.Dirty Water FilterThe “pump of life”, a filter, can make dirty water drinkable. The pump is over 30 centimeters long and has a diameter of four centimeters. It has an in-pipe at the top and out-pipe at the end. There are two main parts: the drive zone to pump water and the material zone to eliminate harmful substances. Rain, fish tank water and coalmine water can all be cleaned in the material zone. The invention could be used for many kinds of disaster relief. Pan told us that water was delivered by helicopters to Wenchuan. If they had sent water-purifying equipment instead, people could have had more water faster after the earthquake.Transformer VehicleThe multi-functional vehicle is named Tranfus. By changing the breadth (宽度) of tires and the structure of a car, it can become a motorbike or a luggage carrier. The name Tranfus is a contraction of “transforming for us.” Traffic jams can make a driver go crazy. The Tranfus can change into luggage carrier, and users could walk with it. When started, the roof transforms, turning into a motorbike. But its inventor doesnt think Tranfus will be on the market soon as some auto companies like it, but none are willing to invest.74. The Foot-Controlled Mouse is used to help _D_.A) left-handed students B) right-handed studentsC) young inventorsD) disabled people75. Users surf Web pages with the Foot-Controlled Mouse by _C_.A) pressing the slippers with their forefeet B) pressing with their heelsC) rolling their feet over the slippers D) raising their forefeet76.

A car can become a motorbike or a luggage carrier if we change _B_.A) different kinds of batteries B) the height of the roofC) different orders of the keyboard D) the breadth of tires and the structure of it78. Why CANT the Transformer Vehicle be on the market soon?CA) It is only a crazy idea and has no scientific theory to support it.B) It is too small to be a car and too big to be a luggage carrier.C) There are no auto companies offering to invest in it.D) There are no auto companies showing interest in it.79.

Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage (选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文)：(12分)Are you thinking of spending part of your summer holidays in Britain? We can help you. Just read the following introduction of its nicest holiday town Brighton.Brighton, a famous holiday town next to the sea in Sussex, on the southeast coast of England, is only 50 minutes on a fast train from London. The town usually has a population of 134,000 people, but in the summer this number _80_ a lot as Brighton gets a lot of tourists. They come here to spend their holidays by the sea and students come from lots of different countries. It is a very busy place at this time of the year, and there always seems to be a party going on! A long time ago Brighton was a quiet fishing town. It _81_ had a different name, Brighthelmstone. Later on, when swimming in the sea became popular, many rich and important people, as well as writers, musicians and _82_ began to arrive and Brighton became a popular seaside holiday town. Prince George (later became King George IV), first came to Brighton in 1783. He liked it so much and used to spend part of the summer there _83_ his health. He asked John Nsh, who was a very famous builder at the time, to build him a palace. It took about 40 years to build the palace and it cost half a million pounds!

Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词, 使其内容通顺, 每空格限填一词, 首字母已给)：(14分)According to experts, the word Hutong originated from Mongolian language meaning Well (井). In ancient times, people tended to gather and live around wells. So the original meaning of Hutong should be a place where people gather and live. But Hutong first appeared_86_ in Beijing during the Yuan Dynasty. The old city was completely destroyed during the war. First, they had to find a center, and then built a regular_87_ square city. At that time, there was a clear definition for “Avenue, Street and Hutong”. A 37-metre-wide road was called an avenue, an 18-metre-wide one was called a street, and a 9-metre-wide lane was called a Hutong. Most of todays Hutong were formed during the Ming and Qing Dynasties that followed. Nobody knows exactly_88_ how many Hutongs there are in nowadays Beijing. But if we connected all the Hutongs together, their total length_89_ would even be longer than the famous Great wall, which is about 4000 miles. Today you can find various_90_ Hutongs with different shapes, lengths or directions. The shortest one is only 40 centimeters wide. And some Hutongs have more than 20 turns. As we walk through_91_ the Hutongs, you may find most of them look almost the same with gray-colored walls and bricks. Actually inside those walls are the courtyard houses, where people live. In Chinese we call them Siheyuan. Si literally means four, he means to surround, and yuan refers to the courtyard. So a rectangular wall enclosing four houses, one built on each side facing into the center, is called a Siheyuan. When they were first built, usually one Siheyuan was owned_92_ by only one family, but nowadays, with the growth of the population, most Siheyuans are shared by 4 to 10 families.D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)：(12分)Boys do best with as few girls as possible in English lessons at primary and secondary school, Steven, a research student at Bristol University, will tell the Royal Economic Societys conference. But when it comes to math and science, both boys and girls at primary school achieve up to a tenth of a grade more when there is a high proportion of girls in the class, Steven found. Steven tracked boys and girls test results at the ages of seven, 11, 14 and 16 in 16,000 schools in England between 2002 and 2004 for his PhD. He analyzed the test scores to see whether the proportion of girls in a year group made a difference to the results of both genders (性别) in math, science and English. Boys often get to tenth of a grade worse when they study English with high numbers of girls as opposed to few or no girls, Steven found. The more girls there are in an English class, the worse boys perform. This is particularly the case in primary schools, he discovered. Stevens results show boys should be taught English in single-sex classes. Girls, who outperform boys in English at every stage at school, are unaffected by the number of boys in their English classes. He said: The results say that boys would benefit at all ages from being taught English with as small a proportion of girls as possible. In math and science, the results tend to show that both boys and girls benefit from having more girls in the classroom. A mix of the genders in both science and math is the best. Steven said boys may do worse in English when there is a high proportion of girls in their class because they realized that the girls are better than them. It could also be that teachers use teaching styles more appropriate to girls when there are more girls than boys in the class. Both genders perform better in math and science at primary school when there are more girls in the class because boys tend to break the class rules.93. Will boys do better in English if there are few girls in their class? Yes, they will. 94. Which age groups did Steven study boys and girls test results? 7, 11, 14 and 16. 95. What did Steven suggest teaching English to boys at school? He suggested teaching English to boys in single-sex classes. 96. What is the best classroom teaching style in math and science? A mix of the genders in both science and math is the best. 97. Why do boys do worse in English when there are more girls in class? Because they realized that the girls are better than them. 98. Do you agree that girls can always do better in study? Why or Why not? No, I dont. Because boys are better than girls in math and science. 99. Write a passage of at least 60 words on the topic “The view out of the window”.( 以“窗外的风景”为题写一篇不少于60个词的短文, 标点符号不占格。）Use the following points as a reference. （以下内容仅供参考）1.
