    Animation(动画) means making things which are lifeless come alive and move.
    Since earliest times, people have always been surprised by movement. But not until this century have we managed to take control of movement, to record it, and in the case of animation, to retranslate it and recreate it. To do all this, we use a movie camera and a projector.
    In the world of cartoon animation, nothing is impossible. You can make the characters do exactly what you want them to do.
    A famous early cartoon character was Felix the Cat, created by Pat Sullivan in America in the early nineteen twenties. Felix was a wonderful cat. He could do all sorts of things no natural cat could do like taking off his tail, using it as a handle and then putting it back.
    Most of the great early animators lived and worked in America, the home of the moving picture industry. The famous Walt Disney cartoon characters came to life after 1928. Popeye the Sailor and his girl friend Olive Oyo were born at Max Ficischer in 1933.
    But to be an animator, you don’t have to be a professional. It is possible for anyone to make a simple animated film without using a camera at all. All you have to do is to draw directly on to an empty film and then run the film through a projector.
    64. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
    A. People were unable to cause the movement to last or record it in the last century.
    B. Pat Sullivan was a famous early cartoon character.
    C. It is impossible to make cartoon characters do what they are designed to do.
    D. In ancient times people were surprised by movement.
    65. According to the passage, Felix the Cat________.
    A. was created by the American cartoonist Felix
    B. was designed by Pat Sullivan in the early twentieth century
    C. was unable to do what natural cats could not do
    D. was created in the United States in the nineteenth century
    66. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
    A. Walt Disney’s cartoon characters were born earlier that Pat Sullivan’s
    B. only professionals can create cartoon characters
    C. Popeye the Sailor and Olive Oyo were famous cartoonists
    D. the cartoon industry started in the United States
    67. Which of the following statements best describes the author’s attitude towards cartoon making?
    A. Cartoon making is an easy job. Anyone can do it.
    B. Only trained people can be employed in cartoon making industry.   
    C. Anyone can make cartoons under the instructions of professionals.
    D. Cartoon making is no easy job. You have to spend much time drawing onto the empty film.

    Technology has utterly transformed our ability to communicate with each other. Linking to each other both literally and figuratively, many of us connect through cell phones, email, instant messaging, blogs, and networking web sites, yet we may be less connected to each other than we think.
    According to a study, Americans are becoming increasingly socially isolated. The study reveals, for example, that one quarter of Americans say that they have no one to discuss important personal issues with, and that the number of close friends that American have has dropped from three to two. Meanwhile, the Boston Globe reports that this spreading isolation is experienced more sharply among those with less education, people of color, and older Americans. Unsurprisingly, those who are young, white, and well educated tend to have stronger social networks.
    From my own experience I have to say that I’ve never felt more connected, thanks to a web of friends, family, and colleagues. One of my closest friends is someone I met through an online discussion group who lives hundreds of miles away from me. We have met face-to-face only twice, yet our regular electronic correspondence and cell phone calls sustain our close friendship. And, speaking of blogging, my blog has introduced me to people I would never have met otherwise and has led to enduring and important friendships.
    On the other hand, I recently saw a scene unfold that proved to me how deeply disconnected we as Americans have become. I had just wrapped up a presentation on mediation at a family therapy(治疗) center. As I was leaving, I noticed a mother and her teenage son who had just completed their session with their family therapist(临床医学家). After making their next appointment, they both took out their cell phones, placed calls, and began loud conversations with whoever was on the other end. I walked out behind them to the parking lot to my car. They both jumped into their SUV, and, as I saw them drive off, they were still talking on their cell phones.
    But, alas, not to each other.
    51. What does the passage lead you to believe?
    A. Americans are more socially connected today.
    B. Americans are more socially isolated today.
    C. Technology plays a bigger role in American society.
    D. Americans don’t make good use of technology.
    52. Which of the following has nothing to do with the isolation among Americans?
    A. Age.              B. Education.                C. Skin color.               D. Sex.
    53. The author himself _______.
    A. has a wider range of friends because of technology
    B. has failed to take advantage of technology
    C. can only find true friendship through the Internet
    D. can’t make true friends in actual life
    54. What is true about the mother and son in the passage?
    A. They came for therapy in the same car.
    B. They were quite close to each other.
    C. There was not much communication between them.
    D. They preferred talking to each other on cell phones.
    55. The author probably feels ________ with the mother and son.
    A. puzzled         B. disappointed       C. amused                 D. surprised

    A robot is a computer-controlled machine that is programmed to move and handle objects. Robots are able to perform repetitive tasks more quickly, cheaply, and accurately (精确的) than humans. In 1995, about 700,000 robots were used－including over 500,000 in Japan, about 120,000 in Western Europe, and about 60,000 in the United States－all in the industrialized world. Many robots applications are designed for tasks that are either dangerous or unpleasant for human beings. Now, robotic technology can be used in more and more fields. Experts say in the future robots will be able to make new highways, constructsteel frameworks of buildings, clean sewage (污水系统), and such physical work. Besides, another possibility is the development of robotic technology in medical surgery operations.
    Perhaps the greatest changes in future robots will improve from their increasing ability to reason. The field of artificial intelligence is moving rapidly from university labs to practical application in industry, and machines of a new kind of robots are being developed, which can perform something involved in the process of understanding and planning, such as the management of a battlefield. Even the control of a large factory will be performed by intelligent computers. And there might be a possibility that these computers can design and make robots of their own.
    Is there anything dangerous involved in this artificial intelligence progress then? Robot technology has been making people nervous ever since it was invented. Is it unreasonable to worry that robots will someday become too clever? Is it impossible that these human-like robots will start to think and plan for themselves? Will robots take over the world and force humans to give them energy to survive?

    Against the assumption that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia warm the climate, scientists have discovered that cooling may occur in areas where burnt trees allow more snow to mirror more sunlight into space.
    This finding suggests that taking steps to prevent northern forest fires to limit the release of greenhouse gases may warm the climate in northern regions. Usually large fires destroyed forests in these areas over the past decade. Scientists predict that with climate warming, fires may occur more frequently over next several centuries as a result of a longer fire season. Sunlight taken in by the earth tends to cause warming, while heat mirrored back into space tends to cause cooling.
    This is the first study to analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climate. Earlier studies by other scientists have suggested that fire in northern regions speed up climate warming because greenhouse gases from burning trees and plants are released into the atmosphere and thus trap heat.
    Scientists found that right after the fire, large amounts of greenhouse gases entered the atmosphere and caused warming. Ozone（臭氧）levels increased, and ash from the fire fell on far-off sea ice, darkening the surface and causing more radiation from the sun to be taken in. The following spring, however, the land within the area of the fire was brighter than before the fire, because fewer trees covered the ground. Snow on the ground mirrored more sunlight back into space, leading to cooling.
    “We need to find out all possible ways to reduce the growth of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.” Scientists tracked the change in amount of radiation entering and leaving the climate system as a result of the fire, and found a measurement closely related to the global air temperature. Typically, fire in northern regions occurs in the same area every 80 to 150 years. Scientists, however, found that when fire occurs more frequently, more radiation is lost from the earth and cooling results. Specifically, they determined when fire returns 20 years earlier than predicated, 0.5 watts per square meter of area burned are soaked up by the earth from greenhouse gases, but 0.9 watts per square meter will be sent back into space. The net effect is cooling. Watts are used to measure the rate at which energy is gained or lost from the earth.
    小题1:According to the new findings, taking steps to prevent northern forest fires may _______.
    A．result in a warming climate
    B．cause the forest fires to occur more frequently
    C．lead to a longer fire season
    D．protect the forests and the environment there
    小题2:Earlier studies about northern forest fires ________.
    A．analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climate
    B．indicate that forest fires will pollute the atmosphere
    C．suggest that people should take measures to protect environment
    D．suggest that the fires will speed up climate warming
    小题3:The underlined phrase “soaked up” in the last paragraph most probably means ________.
    A．releasedB．absorbedC．createdD．disturbed
    小题4: From the text we can draw a conclusion that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia may ______.
    A．warm the climate as the assumption goes
    B．allow more snow to reflect more sunlight into space and thus cool the climate
    C．destroy large areas of forests and pollute the far-off sea ice
    D．help to gain more energy rather than release more energy .

    An annularity(日环食) is expected to cross China Friday afternoon, a researcher with the Purple Mountain Observatory under the Chinese Academy of Sciences said Wednesday.
    The phenomenon, predicted to be the longest annularity of the next 1,000 years, can be seen in some areas of Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Shaanxi, Hunan,  Hubei,  Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu and Shandong provinces as well as Chongqing.
    A partial eclipse(日偏食) would be seen in most of the rest of China, except for the northeast tip of Heilongjiang Province, said Cheng.
    According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the United States, the annularity will begin in Africa and pass through the Indian Ocean, where the maximum duration(持续的时间) of annularity will reach 11 minutes and 8 seconds.
    It will continue into Asia through Bangladesh, India, Myanmar and China. Cheng said the annularity will end at Jiaodong peninsula in Shandong Province, China.
    The longest duration of the annularity on China’s territory would be 8 minutes and 17 seconds in Ruili, Yunan Province. A sunset with the annularity would be seen in some areas of Shandong, Guangdong and Taiwan, said Cheng.
    An annularity occurs when the moon does not cover the entire disc of the sun so that a ring of light encircles the shadow of the moon.
    Another expert said that though an annularity was not considered as wonderful as a total solar eclipse and was of little value in scientific research. It was interesting for the general public to watch the phenomenon, though.
    60.The annularity mentioned in the passage is unusual because        .
    A. it is expected to cross all over China
    B. it begins in Africa and passes through Asia
    C. it is of great importance in scientific research
    D. it lasts the longest in the next one thousand years
    61.From the passage we may conclude that people in Fujian can only enjoy the scene of      .
    A. an annularity            B. a partial solar eclipse
    C. a total solar eclipse           D. a sunset with the annularity
    62.People       can enjoy the longest duration of the annularity on Friday.
    A. in Africa    B. in India      C. in China     D. on the Indian Ocean
    63.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
    A. The annularity will end in Shandong Province.
    B. The annularity can be seen by people all over China.

    In most situations, light helps us see. But when it comes to looking at the night sky, light is actually a kind of pollution. It prevents our view of some of life’s most striking sights: stars, planets, and even galaxies.
    “When I was a little boy, I loved the night sky. I remember looking up and the sky was filled with stars. I became an astronomer because I was amazed by their beauty,” says Robert gent, “Now in most big cities kids can’t see the stars like I did.”
    Normally, about 2,500 individual stars are visible to the naked eye without using any special equipment. But because of light pollution, you actually see just 200 to 300 and fewer than a dozen from some cities. Only one in three Americans can see our own galaxy (星系) with the naked eye. Those people live far away from the lights of big cities, office building, and shopping malls.
    Fortunately, there’s an inexpensive and useful way. If we shine lights down at the ground instead of up into the sky, and use lower brightness levels, we can save big amounts of energy and keep the beauty of the night skies. Many cities and towns have passed laws limiting lights at night, making sure enough shine for safety without creating much light pollution.
    Light pollution affects more than our view of the heavens and can harm wildlife. Migrating (迁移) birds sometimes fly over cities and become confused by the brightness, flying in circles until they drop from exhaustion. Sea turtles need dark beaches for nesting and won’t approach bright lights. Too much light at night may even affect human health. For all these reasons, researchers are working on ways to use light only when and where they are truly needed. Everyone deserves to look up at the sky.
    小题1:According to the text, using our naked eyes, ______________.
    A．people in remote areas can see more stars than those in big cities
    B．over one third Americans can see our own galaxy
    C．about one in three Americans in big cities can see our own galaxy
    D．Americans can only see 200 to 300 stars
    小题2:Many cities and towns have passed laws limiting lights at night mainly to _________.
    A．save the electricityB．make sure of cities’ safety
    C．let you count the number of starsD．avoid much light pollution
    小题3:In how many ways will the light pollution do harm?
    A．OneB．TwoC．ThreeD．Four
    小题4:The underlined word “exhaustion” in the last paragraph means “_________”.
    A．air pollutionB．tirednessC．breathD．brightness

    It was reported today that in China, 56% of people who write blogs(博客) do so as a personal diary and 83% use their blogs for sending messages to friends. It was also found that there is a strong East- West difference. In places like the US, blogs that offer information on news attract more readers but in China, blogs are more likely to be about sharing personal feelings.
    It seems that bloggers can be divided into three types: IT(信息技术) bloggers, bloggers who record their ordinary feelings and media（媒体） bloggers.
    When blogging first started, the IT people had the technological advantage and they took the chance to put their thoughts on the web. Some of these IT people now have had over a million people read their blogs.
    The next wave of bloggers did not have any training as writers or in IT and wrote about normal daily life. Media bloggers, however, are trained writers, such as journalists and editors. When the many media bloggers showed up, the everyday bloggers lost most of their readers. Media bloggers have the advantage of knowing how to communicate well through the written words.
    However, the normal bloggers are still out there and increasing in number. It seems that blogging is the new way to express your feelings. People feel like the world is listening to, or rather reading, their problems, even if they are not.
    1. From the passage we know that________.
    A.56% of the Chinese write blogs
    B. people in US like to read blogs for news
    C. the Chinese share feelings with each other mainly through blogs
    D. the way that Chinese use blogs is not different from the West
    2. ________wrote more blogs at the very beginning and now have more readers than others.
    A.IT bloggers    B. Media bloggers    C. Normal bloggers   D. US bloggers
    3. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
    A. There will be more and more normal bloggers.
    B. Only bloggers express their feelings through the Internet.
    C. All people in the world are listening to the bloggers’ voice.
    D. Media bloggers have more readers because of their popularity.
    4.The underlined expression in the passage can be best replaced by “________”.
    A. increased.      B. appeared .        C. arrived.          D. grew.
