18.Cities in Europe and around the world may be growing"bike trees"in the near future.Invented by Japan's JFE Engineerlng Corp,the invention proved useful in the busiest parts of this nation's crowded cities.
 Local governments of Japan have struggled for ways to encourage people to park their bikes considerably,particularly close to big stations,but that may block some roads and entrances to homes and businesses."Our cities do not have a lot of space for any kind of parking,including bicycles."said Mitsuharu Oshima,a spokesman for JFE Engineering.The bike tree comes in two types; one in a tower that is above ground and on the contrary,the other in a subterranean structure.
A cyclist registers with the operator of the equipment,pays a monthly fee and pushes the wheels of his bicycle into restraints at the base of the bike tree.Each bicycle is fitted with an electronic card with the owner's details.A mechanical arm then pulls the bike into the base of the tower and moves it to a free location inside.To collect the bike later,the cyclist puts his card through a reader and his bike is automatically returned to him in seconds."The science of the equipment has been difficult--even though they may look quite simple--because bikes come in many different shapes and sizes."said Oshima.
As well as clearing away the road,bicycles cannot be stolen from a bike tree.There are presently versions at seven sites in Japan and two others are under construction,while work is under way on an even larger version--with room for 9400bicycles-in Thailand.And Oshima believes that the idea could catch on in Europe,particularly in countries such as France.Holland and Denmark,where cycling is so popular.

60.Cities build this kind of"bike trees"so that they canB.
A.ask more people to ride bikes    
B.save more room for people
C.make more money than before   
D.provide more jobs for people
61.Which is the right order of the following things when you use the bike tree?C
①the wheels of the bicycle are put into restraints at the base.
②the card is read and the bike is automatically returned.
③an electronic card with the owner's details is given
④the bike is pulled and moved to a free location inside.
A.③②①④B.②①④③
C.③①④②D.②④③①
62.What made it difficult to design"bike trees"?B
A.The location of"bike trees".
B.The differences of the bikes.
C.The method of finding enough bikes.
D.The importance of traffic safety
63.From the passage,we can know thatD.
A.cyclists can use"bike trees"for free in Japan.
B.there are seven"bike trees"used for holding bikes in Japan
C.local government of Japan encourage people to ride bikes
D.countries with many cyclists in Europe will like the idea of"bike trees"

8.Dogs can know the meaning of a human perspective,say researchers.
Dogs are more capable of understanding situations from a human's point of view than has previously been recognized,according to researchers.
They found dogs were four times more likely to steal food they had been forbidden,when lights were turned off so humans in the room could not see.
This suggested the dogs were able to alter their behavior when they knew their owners'perspective had changed.
The study,published in Animal Cognition,conducted tests on eighty-four dogs.
The experiments had been trying to find whether dogs could make their behavior suitable to react to the changed circumstances of their human owners.It wanted to see if dogs had a"flexible understanding"that could show they understood the viewpoint of a human.
It found that when the lights were turned off,dogs in a room with their human owners were much more likely to disobey and steal forbidden food.
The study says it is"unlikely that the dogs simply forgot that the human was in the room"when there was no light.Instead it seems as though the dogs were able to differentiate between when the human was unable or able to see them.
Juliane Kaminski carried out the research into how dogs are influenced by human circumstances.
Dr Juliane Kaminski,from the University of Portsmouth's psychology department,said the study was"incredible because it implies dogs understand the human can't see them,meaning they might understand the human perspective".
Previous studies have suggested that although humans might think that they can recognize different expressions on their dogs'faces,this is often inaccurate and a projection of human emotions.
"Humans constantly attribute certain qualities and emotions to other living things.We know that our own dog is clever or sensitive,but that's us thinking,not them,"said Dr Kaminski.
"These results suggest humans might be right,where dogs are concerned,but we still can't be completely sure if the results mean dogs have a truly flexible understanding of the mind and others'minds.It has always been assumed only humans had this ability.

43.According to the passage,which of the following is TRUE?C
A.The researchers made the test on dogs in eighty-four countries.
B.Dogs always obey and don't steal forbidden food.
C.Dogs may adapt their behavior in response to the changed circumstances.
D.The research is carried out to find out how dogs are influenced by light.
44.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?C
A.Dogs---Our Loyal Companions Understand Us Most.
B.Dogs Are Our Best Friends.
C.Dogs Can Understand Us In a Way,Researchers Say.
D.Dogs Have Certain Qualities and Emotions of Human Beings,Researchers Say.
45.Where can we probably read this kind of articles?D
A.Textbooks. B.Advertisements. C.Instructions. D.Magazines.
46.This passage can be classified asD.
A.an argumentative writing                B.a feature story
C.a dog show review                     D.a research result.

9."Up until about five years ago,students at this school could have worn anything they wanted on Halloween,"said Rosemarie Nielson,a sixth-grade teacher at St.Theresa School,a Roman Catholic elementary school in the Pelham Bay section of the Bronx where there is a prohibition on toy weapons
"When you consider all the horrific things that have happened in recent years,including 9/11,I can't blame any school for wanting to stay away from anything that might promote violence,"Ms.Nielson said.
Mary Ellen Manniello,whose daughter,Courtney,9,is a fourth grader at St.Gabriel School,a Roman Catholic elementary school in the Riverdale section of the Bronx,said she understood why officials had banned weapons with costumes."They're learning more about guns from issues in the street than educational issues."
This year,the school has gone one step further and is prohibiting all costumes at its Halloween festivities.Ms.Manniello said it had become"a chaotic scene,"with parents helping their children change into their costumes at school.
Some parents said the no-weapons policy for Halloween costumes went too far and denied children a chance to express themselves
"Halloween has always been the one day when it was acceptable for our children to be dressed like somebody they are not,like a cowboy or a pirate or a person from outer space,and now we're taking that away from them,"said Laura Santoro,a nurse from New Milford,Conn.,whose 7-year-old son,Johnny,is a second grader at Northville Elementary School there.
Ms.Santoro said that her son would dress as Capt.Jack Sparrow,the character played by Johnny Depp in the"Pirates of the Caribbean"movies,at the school's Halloween party,but that he would not be allowed to take a sword-part of a policy that caught her by surprise last Halloween
"I sent my son to school last year dressed as a special force Power Ranger,and he was told that he couldn't take along his red laser blaster,which really surprised me,because the laser is red and made of plastic and lights up,and it could never,ever be mistaken for a real gun,"Ms.Santoro said."I mean,come on,the whole thing is getting really sad."
53.What do you think is the writer's purpose of writing the passage?B
A.To introduce to the public the no-weapons policy for Halloween costumes.
B.To state parents'attitudes towards the no-weapons policy for Halloween costumes.
C.To tell the public that children should bring any weapons for Halloween costumes.
D.To analyse the fact that the no-weapons policy for Halloween costumes goes too far.
54.According to the passage,some parents understand the no-weapon policy for Halloween costumes becauseA.
A.schools should take a cautious approach to Halloween to prevent violence.
B.children are buying real guns in the street and there is always violence now.
C.those parents like to help their children change into their costumes at school.
D.children are learning more about guns from educational issues.
55.Which of the following is probably right according to the passage?B
A.Children could bring any weapons into school five or six years ago.
B.The parents surveyed are those whose children are in elementary schools.
C.Guns are necessary on Halloween for children to express themselves.
D.Jack Sparrow is an actor who at one time acted as a pirate in a movie.
56.What do the underlined words"laser blaster"in the last paragraph refer to?C
A.A kind of costume.
B.A real gun.
C.A toy weapon.

13.When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves,many put friends ahead of homes,jobs,cloth and cars.
A true friendship carries-a-long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected.It is a treasure we should protect.Unfortunately,the better friends you are,the more probably you'll have disagreements.And the result can be what you don't want an end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended First,don't let your pride get in your way.Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open.second,apologize when you're wrong-even if you've been wronged.Over the course of a friendship,even the best people make mistakes.Sometimes,it may be best if the wronged persontakes the lead and apologizes.When you apologize,give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong.Third,see things from your friend's point of view.And finally,accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle change.Making friends can sometimes seem easy.The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships.My suggestion:Consider friendship an honor and a gift,and worth the effort to treasure and nurture.

3.Shaping the Future of TV
Nobody can predict the future of TV with any certainty but some major figures in the industry have recently put forward their thoughts on what will shape TV of the future.
The shaping of a personalized television future is starting to take place,says Intel.The chip giant,who makes the processors found in most personal computers,states that by 2015there will be just over 12million devices using IPTV services that will be capable of connecting to over 500billion hours of TV & video.
This supports the idea to make television a more social,personalized and readily accessible device available anywhere through IPTV services.As more and more people consume TV & video through various mediums,there is now a greater need to distribute and manage this content.
As such,companies like TV Genius are accepting this announcement made at Intel's Developer Forum (IDF) in the USA by their chief technology officer,Justin Rattner.
With such a variety of content likely to become available,technology firms will need to assist in making personalized TV recommendations more readily accessible.
Mr.Rattner,speaking to the BBC said,"TV will remain at the centre of our lives and you will be able to watch what you want and where you want.We are talking about more than one TV-capable device for every man and woman on the planet.People are going to feel connected to the screen in ways they haven't in the past."
One way in which this will happen will also be assisted by a more united service of material combining including video content,internet content,broadcast content,and personal content.
This content will become much more accessible through remote devices like mobile phones using IPTV technology.This means that users will be able to watch their favorite programs away from the traditional media hub,the home.

63.The author uses the passage mainly toB.
A.recommend a new type of TV
B.introduce a possible shape of future TV
C.describe the function of future TV
D.support the new type of TV
64.We know from the passage that the future TV might have major features likeC.
a.being capable of connecting to many more hours
b.changing the shape very easily
c.receiving programs at any place
d.displaying the advanced materials
e.using services accessing the Internet,video,radio,etc
A.a,b,c       B.c,d,e     
C.a,c,e       D.b,c,e
65.The underlined word"this"in the third paragraph refers toD.
A.Intel,the chip giant 
B.TV and video
C.readily accessible device
D.Widely used IPTV services
66.We can infer from the passage thatC.
A.the present TV will disappear in the near future
B.the future TV will have a beautiful look
C.people are developing the technology of TV very quickly
D.people will spend more time watching TV at home.
