4.____________
Technology means different things to different people.A physician might think of technology as a way to produce a new medicine.To a space engineer,it might mean making better rocket engines.Technology is so widespread that it is part of everyone's life.Originally,the word technology comes from the Greek word techne,which means"art".You might think that art means only paintings or sculpture.But the Greeks believed an artist could make useful products from natural materials such as trees,rocks,and plants.
What school subjects are related to technology?
Though people's opinions vary on what groups of technology should be broken down to,you,when in school,may have the question:Why should you study technology?That question is easy to answer.Technology is fun,rewarding,and exciting.It is fun because you get to work with your hands.It is rewarding because you get to see the results of your work.Each day it brings new ideas and new challenges,which make technology exciting.Studying technology will also help you develop your problem-solving skills.You can learn to identify a problem and come up with a solution.You will also find that technology is related to other subjects that you study in school such as:
Mathematics
Science
Social studies
English language arts
Art
You might enjoy all of your classes more after you begin to see the relationships between technology and other subjects.
Do you know what"technologically literate"means?
Technology is often in the news.A journalist might report on a particular electrical power plant,a food additive,or a safety device on an automobile.It is important that you understand the importance of technology.Every day in many ways,technology affects the lives of people around the world.For example,automobile air bags have saved many lives in collisions.However,they inflate so quickly that they have caused injury and death in some cases.As a result,the federal government allows car owners to install an on/off switch for the air bags.Do you think the government should let people do this?To answer this question,you first need to know something about the technology being discussed.
Does working on a small engine sound difficult to you?With a basic understanding of technology,it might not be as hard as you think.Being technologically literate means understanding technology and feeling comfortable with it.Sometimes there is no one correct answer to a problem.You need to think about and evaluate each situation,and then make a decision.When you can do this,you will be technologically literate.

78.What can the title of the first paragraph be to match the other two?WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF THE WORD TECHNOLODY?.
79.You can haveexcitement,since when studying technology,every day you work with your hands,see the results of your work,and have new ideas and new challenges.
80.Why are car owners allowed to switch off their air bags?Because airbags inflate so quickly that they have caused injury and death in some cases.
81.A technological literate can be a person whoUnderstands technology and feels comfortable with technology.
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in No More Than Fifteen Words.)

分析 本文主要论述了Technology这个单词的意思,不同的人对应着不同的意思.

解答 78.WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF THE WORD TECHNOLODY?
考查的段落大意归纳,以小标题的形式呈现首段关键信息.刚开始就说technology这个单词对每个人的意义不同,重点在于讲解这个单词的来源origin.从第三行originally开始就讲了technology来自希腊词语techne.
79.fun,reward(s) and excitement
关键词是名词hands,results,ideas and challenges,定位在第二段第三行,原文是三个形容词fun,rewarding,and exciting,而题目考查的是名词,所以把答案转化为fun,reward and excitement;
80.Because airbags inflate so quickly that they have caused injury and death in some cases
8关键词在switch off air bags,定位在第三段,原文是However,they inflate so quickly that they have caused injury and death in some cases.As a result,the federal government allows car owners to install an on/off switch for the air bags.照理说安全气囊是必须安装的,但由于在某些情况下安全气囊膨胀过快导致伤亡,所以政府才同意由驾驶者决定开还是关上气囊.这题写答案时注意两个地方,一是回答why,要用because,二是原文中的they用air bags替代;
81.understands technology and feels comfortable with it
关键词是technologically literate,定位在最后一段,原文是Being technologically literate means understanding technology and feeling comfortable with it.题目问的是定语从句来修饰"通晓科技的人",需要把原文的动名词改成动词.学生们需要尤其注意的是把动词加上第三人称单数,因为修饰的名词person.

点评 此次的短文回答难度不大,主要是围绕technology这个单词展开,从意思到与学科的联系到什么叫"通晓科技",文章以小标题形式分为三段,各段主题明确.

14.Greenwich (格林威治)is on the River,five miles from the middle of London,and its history is two thousand years old.The first English people were fishermen there,and they named the place Greenwich,meaning"green village".Later the English kings and queens lived at Greenwich in their beautiful places.
The name of the earliest palace was Placentia.Henry VIII lived there.He knew that England must be strong at sea.So he started two big ship-yards (船坞)at Greenwich.But trouble was coming to Greenwich.In 1649,a war started in England and for eleven years there was no king.The men who had worked for him at Placentia decided to live the place themselves.They sold all its beautiful things.Finally,the war ended and King Charles II came back.But Placentia was falling down.So King Charles built a new and bigger palace,which is now open to the public.
At this time,Charles was worried about losing so many of its ships at sea:their sailors did not know how to tell exactly where they were.So in 1675,Charles made John Flamsteed,the first astronomer (天文学家)in England,try to find the answer.Flamsteed worked in a new building on the high ground in Greenwich Park.From it with a telescope which he made himself,Flamsteed could look all round the sky.And he did,night after night,for twenty years.Carrying on Flamsteed's work a hundred years later,an astronomer called Harrison finally made a clock which told the time at sea,and helped sailors to know where they were.You can see Harrison's clock,still working,in Greenwich's museum of the sea.Because of Flamsteed's work,every country in the world now tells its time by Greenwich Time.

35.The first English people living in the"green village"wereC.
A.sailors                  B.King Charles and his family
C.fishermen               D.The families of kings and queens

A.Placentia was destroyed.B.King Henry died.
C.Ship-yards were built.D.A war started in England.
37.Charles made John Flamsteed try to findB.
A.how to build strong ships            B.how to tell sailors'positions at sea
C.how to tell the exact time            D.a place to set up a telescope
38.Who made the first clock which could tell the time at sea?A
A.Harrison    B.Flamsteed    C.Henry    D.Charles.
