Because nobody likes the idea of getting lost, I always prepare before everytrip. But whats the best navigation tool, a Global Positioning System(GPS)or a good old map and compass?Five of my friends and I hiked through the mountains on a trail(路线)I marked. One team of three carried a GPS, and the otherteam used a map and compass. It took the GPS team 3 hours and 11 minutes to get through the whole hike, however, it took the map and compass team only 2 hours and 49 minutes. The biggest problem the GPS team met was that they lost the satellite signal(卫星信号)in some places. With no map or compass, they had to walk around until they were in a place where the signal was good. The map and compass team was able to spot different landmarks, compare them to their maps and then use the compass to point them in the right direction. When I head out on my future hikes, Im bringing a map, a compass and a GPS to show me the way.（1）The two teams_.A . had the same navigation tool B . went along the same trailC . had the same problem（2）The GPS team spent _ time than the map and compass team in the whole hike. A . 1essB . moreC . the same（3）In the end，the writer found out_.A . the map and compass were too old navigation tools to use any moreB . it wasnt necessary to bring a map and a compass together with a GPSC . the GPS had some disadvantages in hiking in mountains2. （8分）Mr. Johnson worked in a hospital.

But soon she and her classmates got used to this new classroom arrangement (安排). Now our class is quieter, said Wu Liang. Whats more, we can come up with our own ideas and learn more through discussion. Its a better way to study.Li Yu liked it, too. He said, Group members first discuss, and then show ourselves in front of the whole class. It makes us believe in ourselves. It was part of a reform (改革) at Lis school. The school made this reform because they wanted to provide students with easier ways to study and more chances to discuss. Our school hopes it can improve studentsabilities (能力) to study by themselves and work in groups, said Zhang Ming, an English teacher.However, the reform has demanded (要求) more from teachers. Now they have only 15 minutes to give the lesson which should be taught in 45 minutes before. It is difficult to teach in such a short time.

These inventions should be better known， even though I think that some of them are crazy. Lets have a look at some of these inventions and see if you agree that they should be more successful.The Australians had a great idea to stop people from drinking and driving. The idea was that if a driver wanted to start the car， she or he would have to blow into a bag first. If there was too much alcohol(酒精) in their breath， the car wouldnt start. It sounded like a great idea to me， but people said that they might need to drive the car in an emergency even if they had drunk too much alcohol. Another idea I liked was an invention by a scientist who thought his children watched too much TV. He linked the TV to an exercise bike so that the electricity to power the TV was generated(产出) by the bike. If the children wanted to watch a lot of TV， they had to pedal(踩踏板) very hard. I found another invention on the Internet which was intended (倾向于) to encourage good habits. Believe it or not， this invention was an ashtray(烟灰缸) which spoke to you when you lit a cigarette! The “voice” of the ashtray was activated (启动) by the heat from the cigarette and reminded you how dangerous it is to smoke.One of the strangest inventions I have come across is a bicycle which can cross rivers! The idea was that when you came to a river， you could inflate a huge plastic ball all around the bike. You would then get into the ball which would float on the river while you pedaled the bike inside the ball! Why not use a bridge instead? A friend of mine at school once bought a strange pair of football shoes. On the bottom of the shoes there was a rotating pad of studs (转动钉垫). The idea was that you would change direction more quickly if the studs rotated with you. The problem was that every time you stopped you changed direction whether you wanted to or not! I think he wore those shoes twice! One thing I would like is a baseball cap with a built-in radio so you can listen to sport all day with your hands free. While we are on the subject of sport， the Americans invented a kind of robot for sports fans. If you were watching your team on TV on your own， you could press a button and the robot would do “high fives” with you! Fantastic! I wonder if you have any good ideas for inventions like these.（1）Whats the writers attitude towards the inventions mentioned in Paragraph 2? A . The writer regrets he knew nothing about the inventions.B . The writer wonders if the inventions will be popular soon.C . The writer thinks people will benefit from the inventions.D . The writer finds these inventions are the strangest of all.（2）The underlined word “inflate” in the third paragraph means _. A . check outB . blow upC . look intoD . turn over（3）Whats the best title for the passage? A . Popular Inventions Today.B . Technology and Invention.C . The History of Invention.D . Inventions with a Difference.二、 单词拼写，根据句意完成已给出首字母或汉语提示的单词，使补全的 (共8题；共17分)5. （10分）请根据短文内容及首字母提示填空，使短文意思完整、连贯。 The Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the Wonders of the Ancient World.
