Is it the telephone that lets us talk to people 46 all over the world? Is it the car that lets us travel at great speeds to meet 47 ?

It was invented to help blind people to learn Braille, which is a special system for the blind to read by touching. Shaking motors (震动马达) are put on each finger of the glove. They can make different sounds to tell a user which letter he is touching. Recently, two British college students have invented another special glove for the blind. It can make the user feel small and quick movements. An ultrasonic sensor (超声波传感器) with a battery is put on the back of the glove. When the user wearing the glove is close to an object(物体), ultrasonic waves (超声波) from the glove are sent out (发出). As soon as they hit the object in front, the waves will return to the glove. Then the waves cause the glove to shake. And the ultrasonic sensor makes different kinds of sounds. The sounds make the user know how far he is from the object. In the college invention competition, the two students got first prize and won 1,540 pounds. One of the designers said, Now the ultrasonic sensor on the glove is quite large. Were going to use the money to develop a smaller and lighter ultrasonic sensor.56. The underlined word Braille in the passage means in Chinese.A. 盲文B. 口语C. 手语57.

But in fact, an unknown person who lived in Rome in AD 53 wrote it. We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives. But have all these developments really improved the quality of our lives? Picture this: Youre rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings, a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, and the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How calm and happy do you feel? Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no cars, not even any electricity(电) often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they lead simple lives. Our family in the UK went back in time to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10 and Thomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones. The grandmother, Lyn, said, It was hard physically, but not mentally. She believed life was less materialistic(物质的). The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes, she said. The boys said they fought less. Probably, they said, because there was less to fight over, such as their computer. Also Lyn changed from being a fashionable, beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things. Here are some simple ways to beat the stress often caused by our inventions! Dont be available all the time. Turn off your mobile phone at certain times of the day. Dont check your emails every day. Dont reply to somebody as soon as they leave a text message just because you can. It may be fun at first, but it soon gets boring. Make sure you spend some time talking to your family. Set aside one evening a week when you dont turn on the television. Play cards and chat instead. Get a low technology hobby. Every day, do something in the old way, such as walking to have a face-to-face meeting instead of using the email or telephone. Dont worry too much about lifelaugh more.65. Why does the writer use the quote(引文) at the beginning of the passage?A. To lead in the topic.B. To tell us a famous saying.C. To tell us what life was like long time ago.D. To point out that you experience some big problems.66. Why did the family choose to spend some time in a 1940s house?A. Because they loved to live simple lives.B. Because they were troubled by modern inventions.C. Because living a different time would be a lot of fun for them.D. Because they want to know how people lived without modern inventions.67. What does the underlined word available probably mean?A. Depended on by others.B. Trusted by others.C. Learned from by others.D. Found by others.68. What is the passage mainly about?A. Problems with technology.B. The importance of technology.C. Changes happening to technology.D. Improvements of our life with technology.D Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh(1853-1890)killed himself by shooting himself in the chest(胸膛). This is what van Gogh himself told his brother, the doctors and the police just before he died. However, in a new book Van Gogh: The Life, two Pulitzer (普利策奖) Prize-winning authors, Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith, argue that van Gogh may have been murdered.They believed that the artist was protecting a 16-year-old boy named Rene Secret, who shot him accidentally. Van Goghs statement that he shot himself was accepted because he had been mentally unstable(精神状况不稳的)for two years. He suffered from psychotic(精神病的)attacks and imagined things that were not really happening. Art critics (评论家)believe that his unstable mental state is shown in his work, describing his style of painting as shaken. Some of his most famous paintings, such as The Starry Night, were produced during this period. Van Gogh is among a number of creative minds who suffered from mental health problems. In fact,mental illness is so common among famous creative figures that scientists have studied whether there is link between creativity and insanity(精神错乱). Research began in the 1970s, but the idea that an unstable mind could be linked to creative genius(天才) was already around in ancient Greece. Some scientists believe mental illness, in its more manageable state, gives artists creativity. Research has found that doing creative activities can also be therapeutic(有疗效的) for people suffering from mental illness. Painting, writing, or making something can be a positive way for people to express their thoughts.69. Before he died: Gogh himself told others that .A. he would kill himselfB. he would be shot by a boyC. he was seriously illD. he had had an accident70. From Goghs The Starry Night, it is clear that .A. Gogh was good at drawing starsB. Goghs mental state was unstableC. Gogh was at his best in drawingD. drawing natural scenery was Goghs favorite71. What can be learned from Paragraph 4?A. Most creative people suffer from mental illness.B. People with mental problems are creative.C. Creativity often makes people mentally ill.D. Mental health problems may help creative work.七、短文7选5(5选5等) The professor always tried so hard. He had tons of brilliant ideasbut they never worked.

Some people even go to the rain forests to spend some of their time trying to make friends with the plants and animals there. The scientists are actually hard at work studying the plants that grow in the very top level of a rain forest. Rain forests are one of the richest environments on Earth. They are home to millions of species of plants and animals. The red research raft provides scientists with a platform from which to study life in the treetops. Scientists can even sleep on the raft, so they can stay up in the treetops for days at a time. Rain forests cover only about 6 percent of Earths land surface. However, they contain more than half of the plant species on Earth. Many of these plants provide useful medicines to use against human diseases. In fact, about 25 percent of prescription medicines in the United States are based on chemicals from rain forest plants. Scientists think that many new medicines might be developed from plants that are yet to be discovered. Unluckily, rain forests are disappearing. Rain forest trees are being cut down for wood. Huge chunks of the forests are cleared to provide land for farm animals and crops. Scientists havent identified all the plants in these forests yet. Some scientists think thousands of kinds of plants that well never even know about are being destroyed each year. 根据短文内容，完成下列小题。76. Is it difficult for scientists to study the rain forest plants? 77. Where probably is the red research raft? 78. How much of Earths land surface do rain forests cover? 79. What do many of the rain forest plants mainly provide? 80. Do you think that scientists will be able to know all about the rain forest plants? Why or why not? 答案一、单项选择 1. B 2. A 3. D 4. C 5. D 6. C 7. A 8. A 9. A10. A11. B12. C13. C14. A15.
