    Imagine the situation. You are driving in a village or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car doesn’t work. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is used for finding your position(位置) with the help of satellites (卫星). A GPS can’t start your car, but at least you will know where you are.
    GPS, which means Global Positioning System(全球定位系统), is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find a GPS in cars, planes, or boats. Some of them have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.
    There are three parts to GPS. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites going around the Earth. The receiver communicates with at least four of the satellites and calculates its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations all over the world. They control (控制) the satellites and make sure they are working well.
    Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming better and cheaper. There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.
    小题1:According to the passage, with the help of the GPS, people __________.
    A．can’t be lost in a new city
    B．can’t find their way in different countries
    C．can learn about the culture of an unknown place
    D．can spend the least time getting to another place
    小题2:We can learn from the passage that ____________.
    A．there are three parts to the GPS
    B．a GPS can’t be put into a watch
    C．a GPS can help you start your car
    D．the GPS are becoming more and more expensive
    小题3:The underlined word “They ” in paragraph 3 means “____________”.
    A．ReceiversB．GPSC．SatellitesD．Ground stations
    小题4:What can we infer(推断) from the passage?
    A．All GPS devices have electronic maps.
    B．People in many countries will use the GPS for free.
    C．The receiver of the GPS communicates with at least five of the satellites.
    D．The GPS will become more and more common in everyday life.

    小题1:A
    小题2:A
    小题3:D
    小题4:D

    The television has been an important part of many families’ life. Many children like to sit in front of the television instead of doing something else. When many experts (专家) say that television is bad for children, some believe that television can really have a good effect on a child’s life, if it is used properly.
    There are many television programmes that both provide fun and education. Spending some time on these types of programmes is good for your child’s development. The television can be more efficient at teaching a child certain (某种) tasks.
    Parents can also use the television to help children read. After watching an educational programme, your child may become more interested in a topic. Use that interest to drive your child toward reading.
    The television can also help to make a family closer. After a programme ends, you can start a decision about it. This can help encourage a healthy family.
    The television can introduce your child to new cultures. This can help your child learn a lot from them.
    The television can also help build a bridge for difficult communication between parents and children. If a child refuses to talk about a topic with his or her parents, he or she is willing to talk about it with his or her parents after watching the programme about the topic. This is an example of television’s role as a bridge to tough communication.

    The world would be a very different place if someone hadn’t invented the lift. There would be few, if any, high-rise buildings because people would refuse to climb many stairs. By the time workers reached their offices on the top floors of a tower building, it would be time to go home – if they were not too tired for the long walk down！

    The first lift that we know about was used by the Greek scientist, Archimedes, in about 230 BC. It was a simple place that could be pulled up and down with a rope. A lift like this was used much later in the 12th century by priests who lived on top of a mountain at Metereo in Greece. Because they were afraid of killers, the priests had not built any stairs up the mountain. The only way up was by lift, which priests worked from the top of the mountain.
    A few hundred years later, a Frenchman, Villayer, invented a ‘flying chair’ which used a rope and a place. A number of rich people had these ‘flying chairs’ built in their homes, including Queen Anne of England in Windsor Castle and Louis XVI of France at Versailles. Unluckily, Louis’ daughter was badly hurt when using one of the chairs, and Villayer ran away, afraid that he would be punished.
    The main problem for lift engineers was that either humans or animals were needed to pull the ropes. This problem was not worked out until the discovery of steam power. But even steam powered lifts were not always safe because they also used ropes which sometimes broke. If the rope broke - which it sometimes did - the lift fell to the ground and people in it were killed or hurt. This problem worked out in 1854 when an American, Elisha Otis, invented something which stopped the lift from falling if the rope broke. At first Otis lifts were used only in factories, then in 1857 he built one in a large New York store. Now lifts use electric power and are completely safe. They also travel very quickly. Some lifts travel faster than 60 kilometers an hour.
    小题1:The writer thinks that lifts are important today because __________.
    A．people like playing on them
    B．they are the best way of using steam power
    C．we need them for tall buildings
    D．workers are lazy
    小题2:The 12th century priests had a simple lift instead of stairs because ___________.
    A．they thought the stairs were broken
    B．they liked having stairs and a lift
    C．the lived at the bottom of a mountain
    D．they were afraid of killers
    小题3:Villayer thought he would be punished because ____________.
    A．poor people could not afford his ‘flying chair
    B．someone was hurt in one of his ‘flying chairs’
    C．his ‘flying chair’ did not work at all
    D．he ran away with Louis XVI’s daughter
    小题4:Steam power meant that ________  .
    A．they did not need a living thing to pull the ropes
    B．Elisha Otis could invent a lift that would not fall
    C．the rope always broke
    D．they could use lifts in factories

    When we can see well, we do not think about our eyes often. It is only when we can not see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are.
    People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing and reading, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly.
    People who are farsighted face just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses too.
    Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts. Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
    When night falls, colors become fainter to the eyes and finally disappear. After your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the side of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you see a small thing to one side of you, which seems to disappear if you turn your head in its direction. This is because when you turn your head, you are looking at the thing too directly. Men on guard duty sometimes think they see something moving to one side of them. When they turn to look straight at it, they can not see it any more, and they believe they were mistaken. However, this mistake happens because the center of the eye, which is very sensitive in daylight, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eye after dark.
    小题1:We don’t know that our eyes are of great importance until ________.
    A．we think about our eyes
    B．we cannot see clearly
    C．we wear glasses
    D．we have to do much reading
    小题2:According to the passage, a ________ is more likely to be nearsighted.
    A．tailorB．doctorC．guardD．painter
    小题3:People who are farsighted ________ .
    A．cannot do a lot of close work without glasses
    B．can only see things that are very close to their eyes
    C．have difficulty reading a book if they hold it at arm’s length
    D．have the same problem as the nearsighted people
    小题4:To see a small thing at night, it is better to look ________ .
    A．with wide open eyes
    B．with half shut or narrowed eyes
    C．straight at it
    D．in a slightly different direction
