         Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems.While scientists are finding ways to
    make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger
    and heavier than the devices themselves.University of Missouri(MU) researchers are developing a
    nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.
        “To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density (密度) .”said
    Jae Kwon，assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU.“The radioisotope
    (放射性同位素)battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries.”
         Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery，presently the
    size and thickness of a penny，intended to power various micro/nanoelectromechanical
    systems(M/NEMS) .Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns，Kwon said they are safe.
        “People hear the word‘nuclear'and think of something very dangerous.”he said.“However, nuclear
    power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pacemakers，space
    satellites and underwater systems.”
         His new idea is not only in the battery's size, but also in its semiconductor(半导体) .Kwon's battery
    uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.
        “The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation
    energy can damage the lattice structure(晶体结构)of the solid semiconductor.”Kwon said.“By using a
    liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem.”
         Together with J .David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research
    Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery.In the future, they hope to increase the battery's
    power，shrink its size and try with various other materials.Kwon said that the battery could be thinner
    than the thickness of human hair.

    1 .Which of the following is true of Jae Kwon?________
        A. He teaches chemistry at MU.
        B .He developed a chemical battery.
        C .He is working on a nuclear energy source.
        D .He made a breakthrough in computer engineering.

    2 .Jae Kwon gave examples in Paragraph 4________.
        A .to show chemical batteries are widely applied
        B .to indicate nuclear batteries can be safely used
        C .to describe a nuclearpowered system
        D .to introduce various energy sources

    3 .Liquid semiconductor is used to________.
        A .get rid of the radioactive waste
        B .test the power of nuclear batteries
        C .decrease the size of nuclear batteries
        D .reduce the damage to lattice structure

    4 .According to Jae Kwon，his nuclear battery________.
        A .uses a solid semiconductor
        B .will soon replace the present ones
        C .could be extremely thin
        D .has passed the final test

         "How can I learn English well?" This is a question many students ask. In my opinion, the most effective
    way is to learn lessons by heart. If you can recite the text and write it out, you've learned it fairly well. And
    if you can retell, in your own words, what the lesson is about, you're a very successful learner indeed. Your
    English will be quite perfect. This is a difficult task. However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each
    lesson, you'll find it not so hard as you might have expected.
         Learning this way, you will make rapid progress. Of course, writing is also necessary. It helps you a lot
    on your way to success in English.
         Equally important is to feel the language. You should be able to laugh at jokes and be shocked at bad news.
    When using English, try to forget your mother tongue. Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your
    way. So, never try to see English through translation.
    1. In the writer's opinion, the most effective way in learning English is _____.
    [     ]
    A. to translate everything into your own language
    B. to forget your own native language
    C. to practise speaking, writing and feeling it
    D. to memorize the English words and grammar
    2. "Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way." This sentence means that memorizing your
        own language can _____.
    [     ]
    A. help you to study English well
    B. help you notice mistakes
    C. make English easy to learn
    D. stop you mastering (having a good command of) English
    3. "To feel the language" here means _____.
    [     ]
    A. to experience the rich meaning of the language
    B. to read and write English
    C. to translate English into your own by imagining
    D. to get the knowledge of English by touching

         The Internationa1 Space Station allows astronauts to live in space for extended amounts of time, 
    enabling them to explore the outside universe and conduct many experiments. However, nothing like
    that exists for our oceans, and thanks to the high water pressure, ocean researchers are able to explore
    what lies undersea for very short periods of time.
         They are therefore never able to fully explore the deep inside areas of our oceans. However, if
    French architect Jacques Rougerie has his way, that will change soon.
         Jacques has designed a ship that will allow researchers to spend a long period of time observing the
    sea life and conducting experiments. The huge l67ft. ship, named 'Sea Orbiter', consists of two areas-one
    above the water where the scientists and crew will live, and a lower pressurized deck (甲板), where
    scientists will be able to spend as much time as they wish. Since it is powered by sea currents and wind,
    he expects it to drift (漂流) along the oceans slowly, taking about two years to circumvent the globe.
         Jacques will make their life as comfortable as possible in the ship. Besides being equipped with the
    latest sailing tools and communication equipment, the ship will also have a gym, a television and a DVD
    player! And these guys will not be eating freeze-dried food like astronauts. Instead, Jacques, an accomplished chef, plans on cooking them delicious meals every day.
         The biggest problem to this giant ship is the cost, which is expected to be over $500 million-per ship!
    However, Jacques, who strongly believes that the secrets of our oceans may be the key to solving global
    warming and a vital supply for food and medicine in the future, is confident he will be able to convince
    governments all over the world to help out, and expects to start construction on not one, but four or five
    of these amazing ships soon!
    1. Why can't ocean researchers explore the deep oceans for a long time?
    A. Because they can't stand the high water pressure.
    B. Because it's too cold in deep ocean.
    C. Because time for experiments is too limited.
    D. Because it's dangerous to observe the sea life.
    2. The underlined word "circumvent " probably means      .
    A. fly away    
    B. go around    
    C. travel through    
    D. move into
    3. From the fourth paragraph we can learn that      .
    A. Jacques intends to design the ship mainly for sightseeing and traveling
    B. living a comfortable life helps to do the ocean research quickly
    C. it's much more expensive to eat freeze-dried food
    D. researchers on Jacques ' ship will live more comfortably than astronauts
    4. In Jacques' opinion, which of the following is not the purpose of the undersea research?
    A. To find supply for food in the future.
    B. To find supply for medicine in the future.
    C. To draw governments' attention to the construction of the ship.
    D. To solve the global warming.
    5. Which of the fol1owing would be the best title for the text?
    A. Sea Orbiter-the ship of the future    
    B. A new way to explore the deep oceans
    C. A great architect-Jacques Rogerie    
    D. Travel around the globe in Sea Orbiter

         Sure, it’s good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom
    more pleasant.
         And yes, it’s good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to
    relate to the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life.
         But really, there’s one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When
    you do, “learning bursts right open,” says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education
    column called “Teacher Says” for the Washington Post newspaper.
         In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable
    asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your
    best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to
    turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school issues, such as bullying(欺负人).
         As a kid in a primary or middle school, you’re at a wonderful stage in your life. You’re like a
    sponge(海绵), able to soak up lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you’re able to
    think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, and in most cases, is very
    excited to be the person who’s giving you all that material and helping you put it together. Remember,
    teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you’re open to what they’re teaching you. That’s why
    they wanted to be teachers in the first place --- to teach!
         Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most
    kids are sensitive(敏感的) to the way they get along with the teacher, and if  things aren’t going
    well, they won’t learn as well and won’t enjoy being in class.

    1. In the passage, the teacher mainly talks about _____.

        A. how to get along well with teachers
        B. the importance of a good relation with teachers
        C. how much the students are expected of to get along with teachers
        D. how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant

    2. “Learning bursts right open” in the third paragraph really means _____.

        A. learning becomes easier for you at once    
        B. you find an opening to learning    
        C. there’ll be more problems with learning    
        D. there’ll be no problems with learning.

    3. According to the passage, which of the following offers the best reasoning?

        A. You are getting on well with your teachers, so you have more questions than others.
        B. You find it comfortable to ask questions, so you can build a good relationship with teachers.
        C. You have a good relationship with teacher, so you can turn to him/ her when in trouble.
        D. You are in trouble, so you can build a good relationship with teachers.

    4. Which of the comments is FALSE on teachers and their work according to the passage?

        A. Teachers are exited even if you wouldn’t like to accept their teaching.
        B. Teachers sometimes have the same feelings as students do.  
        C. Though few there are still some students who can learn even if they don’t like the teacher.
        D. Having a bad relationship with your teachers does more or less harm to your studies.

            A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same
    words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better
    to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the
    time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.
            A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad
    thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have
    read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think,
    some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises(出现)
    from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into
    the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.
            There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true,
    that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond
    of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such
    people, I must say so peculiar(奇怪的) that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were
    sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or
    covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl-friend.
            No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believe
    d that it was.
    1. The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is _______.
    A. repeated without any change
    B. treated as a joke
    C. made some changes by the parent
    D. set in the present
    2. According to the passage, great fear can take place in a child when the story is _______.
    A. in a realistic setting          
    B. heard for the first time
    C. repeated too often        
    D. told in a different way h
    3. The advantage claimed(提出) for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it _______.
    A. makes them less fearful
    B. develops their power of memory
    C. makes them believe there is nothing to be afraid of
    D. encourages them not to have strange beliefs
    4. The author’s mention of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest that _______.
    A. fairy stories are still being made up
    B. there is some misunderstanding about fairy tales
    C. people try to modernize old fairy stories
    D. there is more concern for children's fears nowadays
    5. One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that _______.
    A. they are full of imagination
    B. they just make up the stories which are far from the truth
    C. they are not interesting
    D. they make teachers of history difficult to teach

         Next Halloween, a small vegetable that looks like a pumpkin may appear in a garden near you. The
    vegetable is a type of pepper that is called "Lil' Pumpkin." It's very special because it has orange,
    pumpkin－like fruit.
         You might think that all vegetables are grown to provide food to eat. But some vegetables are grown
    mainly for the lively color and holiday spirit that they bring to gardens. These are called "ornamentals
    (观赏性植物)." Just like lights decorate a Christmas tree, they decorate a garden.
         The peppers were bred(培育) by Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists John Stommel and
    Robert Griesbach. Another pepper the scientists developed is called "Pepper Jack." Because Pepper
    Jack has orange and black cone shaped(锥形的) fruit, it might remind you of the popular Halloween
    treat "candy corn."
         Stommel says that vegetable crops such as peppers were first widely grown in Europe in the 15th
    century. At that time, people liked these crops more because they looked pretty than because they
    provided food.
         Back then, when a gardener grew plants for decoration and plants for food, the garden was called a
    "potager." An example of this is the large gardens on the lawns(草坪) of castles and very large homes
    where kings and queens lived, One of those large royal homes was the French king's palace at
    Versailles during the 1600's. The palace is still there today, and people from all over the world still go
    there to visit and see the gardens.
         Today, Stommel says using vegetables as decorations in gardens has become popular again.
         So you might be wondering, if these peppers are for decoration, can people eat them? Yes, but the
    fruit from both of these peppers has a sharp taste (kind of like onions！)
         These peppers are scheduled to become available in mid2011. These pretty peppers can be grown
    in containers and also in garden beds. They grow best with plenty of light and warm temperatures,
    Stommel says.
    1. What does the passage mainly talk about?
    A. Different kinds of peppers.
    B. The history of peppers.
    C. Peppers with the Halloween spirit.
    D. Food for the Halloween festival.
    2. What do we know about "Lil' Pumpkin" and "Pepper Jack"?
    A. They are used to decorate Christmas trees.
    B. They are grown mainly to provide food to eat.
    C. Their fruits have different shapes.
    D. Their fruits are the same color.
    3. The underlined word "they" in Paragraph 2 refers to "______".
    A. these vegetables  
    B. these holidays
    C. these lights  
    D. these scientists
    4. According to the passage, a potager was ______.
    A. the place where kings and queens lived
    B. the garden in the French king's palace
    C. a place providing vegetables for the royal homes
    D. a garden with plants for decoration and for food

         This brief book is aimed at high school students, but speaks to anyone learning at any stage of life.
          Its formal, serious style closely matches its content, a schoolmasterly book on schooling. The author, W. H. Armstrong, starts with the basics: reading and writing.In his opinion, reading doesn't just mean
    recognizing each word on the page; it means taking in the information, digesting it and incorporating it
    into oneself just as one digests a sandwich and makes it a part of himself. The goal is to bring the
    information back to life, not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees. Reading and writing
    cannot be completely separated from each other; in fact, the aim of reading is to express the information
    you have got from the text. I've seen it again and again:someone who can't express an idea after reading
    a text is just as ineffective as someone who hasn't read it at all.
         Only a third of the book remains after that discussion, which Armstrong devotes to specific tips for
    studying languages, math, science and history. He generally handles these topics thoroughly(透彻地)
    and equally, except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion
    (激情) regarding history. Well, he was a history teacher-if conveyed only a tenth of his passion to his
    students, that was a hundred times more than my history teachers ever got across. To my disappointment,
    in this part of the book he ignores the arts. As a matter of fact, they demand all the concentration and
    study that math and science do, though the study differs slightly in kind. Although it's commonly believed
    that the arts can only be naturally acquired, actually, learning the arts is no more natural than learning
    French or mathematics.
         My other comment is that the text aged. The first edition apparently dates to the 1960s-none of the
    references(参考文献) seem newer than the late 1950s.As a result, the discussion misses the entire
    computer age.
         These are small points, though, and don't affect the main discussion. I recommend it to any student
    and any teacher, including the selftaught student.                  
    1. According to Armstrong, the goal of reading is to________.
    A. gain knowledge and expand one's view
    B. understand the meaning between the lines
    C. express ideas based on what one has read
    D. get information and keep it alive in memory
    2. The author of the passage insists that learning the arts____.
    A. requires great efforts
    B. demands real passion
    C. is less natural than learning maths
    D. is as natural as learning a language
    3. What is a shortcoming of Armstrong's work according to the author?
    A. Some ideas are slightly contradictory.
    B. There is too much discussion on studying science.
    C. The style is too serious.
    D. It lacks new information.
    4. This passage can be classified as________.
    A. an advertisement  
    B. a book review
    C. a feature story  
    D. a news report

        The zebra belongs to the horse family.One of nature's great mysteries is why the zebra has stripes.One
    theory is that the stripes help the zebra cool down.On hot days the black stripes get a lot hotter than the
    white area of the zebra and under the black stripes there are special layers of fat for protection.Hot air then rises off the black stripes,forcing colder air down around the white areas,cooling the zebra down.This,
    however,is just a theory.The stripes can also confuse predators (食肉动物) when zebras stay with other
    animals in great numbers.
         Zebras have excellent hearing and eyesight and can run at a speed of up to 35 miles per hour (56
    kilometers per hour)．They also have a powerful kick that can cause serious injury to a predator,like a
    lion,or an African wild dog.Usually the lead male of the herd stays at the back of the group to defend
    against predators if necessary,while the females and youngsters run from danger.
         Zebras are herbivores and feed mostly on grasses,although they also might eat the leaves and stems (茎) of bushes a bit.They eat grasses for many hours each day,using their strong teeth.Spending so much
    time chewing wears the zebra's teeth down,so their teeth keep growing all their lives.As the dry season
    arrives and the grasses die back,zebra herds travel to find more food and water holes for drinking.Most
    zebras have no specific territories.They travel from place to place,never staying in one area very long.
    1. What can be inferred from the first paragraph?
    A. There are different opinions about why the zebra has stripes.
    B. The black stripes help the zebra live through cold days.
    C. The zebra can easily be attacked by predators.
    D. The zebra always travels with other animals.
    2. According to the passage,herbivores are________.
    A. animals that have specific territories
    B. animals that only eat plants
    C. animals that kill and eat other animals
    D. animals that live in groups
    3. The zebra has strong teeth all their lives because their teeth________.
    A. only chew soft grasses
    B. are used all day
    C. are always growing
    D. are kept clean
    4. Which of the following statements about zebras is TRUE?
    A. They have poor eyesight and hearing.
    B. Their stripes can confuse predators.
    C. They can run 56 miles per hour.
    D. They usually stay in one area all their lives.
    5. Which of the following TV programs might the passage be adapted for?
    A. Hobbies & Leisure    
    B. Everyday Tips
    C. Digital Stadium      
    D. Discoveries
