“High tech” and “state of the art” are two expressions that describe very modern technology．High tech is just a shorter way of saying high technology．And high technology describes any invention, system or device that uses the newest ideas or discoveries of science and engineering．
what is high tech? A computer is high tech．So is a communication satellite．A modern manufacturing system(生产系统)is surely high tech．
High tech became a popular expression in the United States during the early 1980s．Because of improvements in technology，people could buy many new kinds of products in American stores．such as home computers，microwave ovens(微波炉)，etc．
“State of the art” is something that is as modern as possible．It is a product that is based on the very latest methods and technology．Something that is “state of the art” is the newest possible design or product of a business or industry．
A “state of the art” television set，for example，uses the most modern electronic design and parts．It is the best that one can buy．
“State of the art” is not a new expression．Engineers have used it for years to describe the best and most modern way of doing something．
Millions of Americans began to use the expression in the late 1970’s．The reason was the computer revolution. Every computer company claimed that its computers were “state of the art”．
Computer technology changed so fast that a “state of the art” computer today might be old tomorrow．The expression “state of the art” became as common and popular as computers themselves．Now all kinds of products are said to be “state of the art”．

B While attending Harvard University in 1975, Bill Gates teamed with Paul Allen to develop a version of the BASIC programming language for the Altair 8800, the first personal computer.

科目：高中英语 来源：2014届辽宁省东北育才学校高一上学期期中考试英语题 题型：阅读理解
When we think about giving help to developing countries, we often think about giving money so that these countries can build schools and hospitals, buy food and medicine, or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs of the people we are trying to help. However, it's far from enough. Ladies and gentlemen, we've got to come up with some better ideas to help them.
I was very surprised, then, when I read about a plan to make cheap laptop computers for children in developing countries. A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer, which can run without electricity. He decided to invent this computer after he visited a school in Cambodia.[来源:学*科*网]
The laptop which Mr. Negroponte has designed is a little different from the normal laptop computers you can buy in the shops. One difference is that it is covered in rubber so that it is very strong and won't be damaged easily. As an electricity supply can be a problem in developing countries, the computer also has a special handle so that children can wind the computer up to give it extra power when needed.
These special laptop computers will cost less than 100 US dollars and Mr. Negroponte wants to build as many as 15 million machines in the first year of production. The idea is that these computers will help the children's education as they will be able to access the Internet. These computers might not help the people in developing countries immediately, but by improving children's education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in the long term.
Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that they can be used again. In the UK, and, probably in many other countries too, millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year. The waste created by throwing away these old phones is very bad for the environment, so it seems to be an excellent idea to recycle them. In this way we will be able to achieve two important goals at the same time. We will reduce the waste we produce and help others. In other words, we will be able to 'kill two birds with one stone', and that is always a good thing.
1. The author gives the example of Mr. Negroponte's cheap computers _______.
A. to show what high tech can bring us.
B. to illustrate the kindness of people in the developed countries
C. to show how to find business opportunities in developing countries
D. to give an example of how to help developing countries
2.Which of the following statements is TRUE about Mr. Negroponte's cheap computers?
A. His computers don’t need any power to function well.
B. His computers are covered with rubber so that they are very cheap.
C. His computers will help children in developing countries to have better education.
D. His computers will help people in developing countries to find all the solutions.
3.Where does this passage probably come from?
A. A magazine B. A newspaper C. A lecture D. An advertisement
