    B

    YOU CAN HELP!

    Everyone was born with his own built-in burglar(窃贼) alarm. It’s called the sense of sight and sound．Unfortunately, many of us go around with the alarm switched off.

    We don’t see the stranger wandering outside the house next door.

    We don’t notice the sounds from the flat upstairs.

    (Weren’t they supposed to be on holiday?)

    The police can only do so much to prevent crime. There never can be enough of them to guard every home in every town. So they need your help in fighting with the burglars，the vandals（恣意破坏者）, and the car thieves.

    Not, of course, by setting out to have a go every time you see something suspicious. It’ll always be the job of the police to arrest criminals.

    But by acting as a line of communication between them and your community, for instance, you probably know far more about your immediate neighborhoods than the police ever could.

    A stranger in someone’s garden would probably be far more obvious to you than it would to even the local police, if, of course, you were on the look-out.

    That’s the whole idea behind the Neighborhood Watch schemes, springing up around the country to create a spirit of watchfulness within a community, anything suspicious being reported to the police.

    It’s early days yet, but results so far are very encouraging. The crime figures are already dropping in many of the areas running the scheme. And all due to people like you.

    61. The underlined word “them” refers to “______”.

    A. criminals          B. the police   C. neighbors   D. strangers

    62. The advertisement points out that many people______.

    A. are not ready to help the police   

    B. are not as watchful as they could be

    C. don’t look after their gardens well      

    D. don’t tell their neighbors about their holidays

    63. One of the ways we could help prevent crime is to______.

    A. turn on the alarm system in our home 

    B. try to stop criminals from escaping

    C. look out for people behaving suspiciously 

    D. inform the police if we hear noises upstairs

    64. The purpose of the advertisement is to __________in their neighborhood.

    A. ask people to join the police force

    B. advise people how to protect their homes

    C. warn people about the increasing risk of crime

    D. encourage people to be on watch for possible crime

    My house is made out of wood, glass and stone. It is also made out of software.

    If you come to visit, you’ll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN （个人身份号码）to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When it’s dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings.

    Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console (控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you.

    The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.

    I believe that ten years from now, most new homes will have the systems that I’ve put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I’ve put in today.

    I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, “How will I live without them?”

    What does the passage mainly discuss?

    A. How to develop a new system.            B. The function of the PIN.

    C. A home for the future.                  D. Easy life in the future.

    What’s the purpose when the writer wrote the fourth paragraph?

    A. To let readers know why his ideas are new.

    B. To let readers know how special his house is.

    C. To explain the importance of the PIN and the console.

    D. To explain more easily what the functions of the PIN and the console are.

    The writer’s new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because _____.

    A. it has been controlled by computers

    B. you can make a telephone call anywhere

    C. it has your favorite music following you

    D. the writer is able to change his new idea into practice

    What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage?

    A. An IT expert.    B. A famous doctor. 

    C. An idealist      D. An experienced teacher.

    What can’t be done in the writer’s new house?

    A. turns on the lights

    B. play music

    C. get a telephone call

    D. go swimming

    Health experts have discovered that adding low-calorie vegetable soup to the start of a meal can actually help to lose weight.

    Because you feel full sooner, you eat less of your main course.

    The soup regime（养生法）was tested by researchers at Pennsylvania State University, led by Dr Barbara Rolls.

    They found that when people ate a first course of soup before lunch they reduced their total calorie intake by 20 per cent, compared with those who did not begin the meal with soup.

    But those who favor creamy soups should be careful．Researchers stressed the soup must be low-calorie and based on stock（菜汤）, not cream.

    All of the soups tested in the study were made from identical ingredients - chicken stock , broccoli（硬花甘蓝）, potato, cauliflower（菜花）and carrots.

    They were mixed together to create four different textures and thickness from separate stock and vegetables through to pureed soup.

    Scientists thought that thick soups with chunks of vegetables which required chewing might be more filling, but to their surprise they found all forms had the same effect.

    The findings were presented to the Experimental Biology conference in Washington, DC, and the research was part-funded by the National Institutes of Health.

    1. What’s the reason that adding low-calorie vegetable soup to the start of a meal can actually help to lose weight?

        A. You can take in large quantities of vegetables.

        B. You can absorb high calories from the soup.

        C. You can take in low calories from the soup.

        D. You can feel full soon after having the soup.

    2. Which of the following can not be in the low-calorie soup?

       A. chicken stock   B. cauliflower   C. cream           D. carrots

    3. What is the best title of this passage?

       A. Vegetable Soup Helps to Lose Weight．

       B. A Scientific Research is Carrying out.

       C. A Research Done at Pennsylvania State University

       D. Findings Carried out to the Experimental Biology.

    4. The underlined word “favor” is the same in meaning with ______.

       A. hate            B. enjoy         C. prefer          D. drink.
