13.I always avoid going on field investigations with the toxics team,unless it's absolutely necessary.it's not that I mind the hardwork,or am afraid of coming into contact with poisonous substances.What I definitely fear is quickly losing hope about the work I do.
Doing field  research with the toxics team,all  I see and feel  is filth-nothing else  Even  if I close my eyes,I can smell the smell of food processing  rotting organic waste from paper mills and chemicals from clothing manufacturers.
One morning,I went to investigate a discharged pipe to document and collect samples of pollutants secretly being emitted by a textile mill.I had to work with the utmost secrecy in order to avoid being discovered by the textile mill.
I dipped a long measuring pole into the large polluting pipe to measure the volume of polluted water being emitted.But the surface of the water,covered in oil and filth,made me feel as if to vomit.
All of a sudden,I felt someone hit me on my back.It frightened me so much that I almost fell into the water.I grasped the pole and looked behind me to see an old  man standing there.kept calm and said:"Yes,l heard that there's a kind of small fish living in this water,and it has medicinal  benefits."
The old man grew quite curious and replied:"That may be lf a fish can survive in water as dirty as this,it must have a lot of resistance.So it wouldn't be too strange if such fish had medicinal benefits."
It was clear that he was just passing by,so I answered:"Yeah,survival of the fittest.Fish that adapt can survive,just like us humans."
He kept talking to me and didn't want to leave.He wanted to see whether or not I would catch the small fish with medicinal benefits.

51.The text is mainly aboutC.
A.a research report about pollution
B.an exciting experience of fishing
C.an experience of doing research on pollution

53.What is the writer of the text most probably?B
A A newspaper reporter.B.A researcher about pollution.
C.A fisherman.D.A worker of the textile mill.
54.Why did the writer tell the old man he was fishing?C
A  Because he wanted to satisfy the old rnan's curiosity.
B.Because the old man was interested in fishing too.

D Because the old man wanted to buy the fish.

18.In a few years,you might be able to speak Chinese,Korean,Japanese,French,and English-and all at the same time.This sounds incredible,but Alex Waibel,a computer science professor at US's Carnegie Mellon University{CMU)and Germany's University of Karlsruhe,announced last week that it may soon be reality.He and his team have invented software and hardware that could make it far easier for people who speak different languages to understand each other.
One application,called Lecture Translation,can easily translate a speech from one language into another.Current translation technologies typically limit speakers to certain topics or a limited vocabulary,Users also have to be trained how to use the programme.
Another prototype (雏形机) can send translations of a speech to different listeners  depending on what language they speak.‘‘It is like having a simultaneous translator right next to you but without disturbing the person next to you,"Waibel said.
Prefer to read?So-called Translation Glasses transcribe(转录)the translations on a tiny liquid-crystal(液晶) display(LCD) screen.
Then there's the Muscle Translator.Electrodes capture the electrical signals from facial muscle movements made naturally when a person is mouthing words.The signals are then translated into speech.The electrodes could be replaced with wireless chips implanted in a person's face,according to researchers.
During a demonstration held last Thursday in CMU's Pittsburgh campus,a Chinese student named Stan Jou had 11tiny electrodes attached to the muscles of his cheeks,neck and throat.Then he mouthed-without speaking aloud-a few words in Mandarin(普通话) to the audience.A few seconds later,the phrase was displayed on a computer screen and spoken out by the computer in English and Spanish:"Let me introduce our new prototype.''
This particular gadget(器械),when fully developed,might allow anyone to speak in any number of languages or,as Waibel put it,"to switch your mouth to a foreign language"."The idea behind the university's prototypes is to create‘good enough'bridges for cross-cultural exchanges that are becoming more common in the world."Waibel said.
With spontaneous(自发的)translators,foreign drivers in Germany could listen to traffic warnings on the radio,tourists in China could read all the signs and talk with local people,and leaders of different countries could have secret talk without any interpreters there.

51.Which of the following statement is not TURE?B
A.A lecture translation can translate what you said into other languages easily.
B.There is no Muscle Translator in the world now
C.Muscle Translators can translate what you think into speech if you just move your    mouth
D.The spontaneous translators will help us a lot.
52.What kind of equipment is NOT mentioned in this passage?C
A.Lecture Translation
B.Muscle Translator
C.Multiple Translator
D.Translation Prototype
53.What's the final destination of inventing the language translators?A
A.To make cultural exchanges between different countries easier.
B.To help students learn foreign languages more easily.
C.To make people live in foreign countries more comfortably.
D.To help people learn more foreign languages in the future.
54.What can be inferred from the seventh paragraph?D
A.The translator is so good that it can translate any language into the very language  you need.
B.The translator is becoming more and more common in the world as a bridge.
C.With the help of the translator,you only need to open your mouth when you want to say something without saying the exact words at all.
D.The translator needs to be improved before being put into market.
55.Where can this passage probably be taken from?B
A.A newspaper         B.A magazine on science
C.A fairy tale.      D.A scientific fantasy book.

5.Our lives were supposed to be more flexible and family-friendly thanks to the technology at our fingertips.But in this age of BlackBerrys,recession pressures,working at home after hours and on weekends,family time may not be working out the way we thought.
    Busy parents who expected more time with the kids are Finding that more work hours at home don't necessarily translate into quality time with them.
    A new generation of parents needs to discover the meaning of"quality time,"researchers say."Personally,just given the life I lead,I think there is something to this idea of quality time-spending productive time with children vs.just being around,"says Peter Brandon,a professor at Carleton College.He says engaging or interacting with a child in activities such as reading or playing counts as quality time rather than"passive monitoring,"such as washing the dishes while the child is watching TV.
"This time with children pays off,"Brandon says.He notes that good parent-child relationships result in children being happier and more successful,including at school.
As parents struggle to be more availabie to their kids,new research on work and family  schedules to be presented Friday at the meeting in Dallas includes a study that shows parents'availability is on the decline because more parents are in the workforce.Although parents today may be spending more time on child care,they are less available overall.
     Working parents who spend less time with their children should try to make sure the time they do spend is communicating with them,vs.doing the dishes or spending more time on themselves,Brandon says"The trade-off is not necessarily taking away time from your kid,"he says"You're taking away time from other things".
71.The first paragraph mainly intends to tell us thatD.
   A.technology lets parents work at home
   B.parents are satisfied with their work
   C.technology makes our lives much easier
   D.the family time is not always satisfying
72.We can learn from the third paragraph thatA.
   A.some families are not experiencing quality time
   B.it's enough for parents to stay with their children
   C.parents enjoy engaging in work-at-home activities
   D.working hours at home can transform into quality time
73.According to Brandon,the quality time meansC
   A.just,being around with children
   B.work time is separate from family time
   C.spending instructive time with children
   D.letting the children do whatever they want to do
74.The underlined sentence"This time with children pays"off meansC
   A.the time with children is of little value
   B.the time with children costs quite a lot
   C.the time with children leads to good result
   D.the time with children has a bad effect on them
75.What will the author most probably talk about in next part of the passage?D
   A.How to spend more time at home
   B.How to do the dishes in a proper way..
   C.How to spend more time on working at home.
   D.How to take away time in a much proper way.
