    　　Perhaps you have heard a lot about the Internet, but what is it, do you know? The Internet is a network．It uses the telephone to join millions of computers together around the world．

    　　Maybe that doesn’t sound very interesting．But when you’ve joined to the Internet, there are lots and lots of things you can do．You can send E-mails to your friends, and they can get them in a few seconds．You can also do with all kinds of information on the World Wide Web(WWW)．

    　　There are many different kinds of computers now．They all can be joined to the Internet．Most of then are small machines sitting on people's desks at home, but there are still many others in schools, offices or large companies．These computers are owned by people and companies, but no one really owns the Internet itself．

    　　There are lots of places for you to go into the Internet．For example, your school may have the Internet．You can use it during lessons or free time．Libraries often have computers joined to the Internet．You are welcome to use it at only time．

    　　Thanks to the Internet, the world is becoming smaller and smaller．It is possible for you to work at home with a computer in front, getting and sending the information you need．You can buy or sell whatever you want by the Internet．But do you know 98％ of the information on the Internet is in English? So what will English be like tomorrow?

    　　Malaria, the world's most widespread parasitic(寄生虫引起的)disease, kills as many as three million people every year－almost all of whom are under five, very poor, and African．In most years, more than five hundred million cases of illness result from the disease, although exact numbers are difficult to assess because many people don't(or can't)seek care．It is not unusual for a family earning less than two hundred dollars a year to spend a quarter of its income on malaria treatment, and what they often get no longer works．In countries like Tanzania, Mozambique, and the Gambia, no family, village, hospital, or workplace can remain unaffected for long．

    　　Malaria starts suddenly, with violent chills, which are soon followed by an intense fever and, often, headaches．As the parasites multiply, they take over the entire body．Malaria parasites live by eating the red blood cells they infect(感染)．They can also attach themselves to blood vessels in the brain．If it doesn't kill you, malaria can happen again and again for years．The disease passed on to humans by female mosquitoes infected with one of four species of parasite．Together, the mosquito and the parasite are the most deadly couple in the history of the earth－and one of the most successful．Malaria has five thousand genes, and its ability to change rapidly to defend itself and resist new drugs has made it nearly impossible to control．Studies show that mosquitoes are passing on the virus more frequently, and there are more outbreaks in cities with large populations．Some of the disease's spread is due to global warming．

    　　For decades, the first-choice treatment for malaria parasites in Africa has been chloroquine, a chemical which is very cheap and easy to make．Unfortunately, in most parts of the world, malaria parasites have become resistant to it．Successful alternatives that help prevent resistance are already available, but they have been in short supply and are very expensive．If these drugs should fail, nobody knows what would come next．

    (1)

    According to paragraph 1, many people don't seek care because___．

    [　　]

    A．

    they are too poor

    have their red blood cells infected

    D．

    have sudden fever, followed by chills

    (3)

    　　A small dog should be belly-up after eating a handful M＆M’s, at least according to conventional wisdom．But watching“Moose”, a friend’s five-pound Chihuahua, race around a living room after his sweet snack makes one wonder: Is chocolate truly poisonous to dogs?

    　　Dogs and humans have similar tastes．But unlike humans, our companions experience dangerous effects from eating chocolate－it can poison them and in some cases is fatal．Chocolate’s danger to dogs depends on its quality．

    　　Chocolate is processed from the bitter seeds of the cocoa tree, which contain a family of compounds known as methylxanthines(一种衍生物)．This class of substances includes caffeine and the related chemical theobromine(可可碱)．Chocolate contains a significant amount of theobromine and smaller amounts of caffeine．These chemicals can cause a dog’s heart to race up to twice its normal rate, and some dogs may run around as if“they drank a gallon of espresso,”according to Hackett．

    　　Dogs are capable of handling some chocolate, but it depends on the animal’s weight and the type of chocolate it eats．Unsweetened baking chocolate contains more than six times as much theobromine as milk chocolate, although amounts vary between cocoa beans as well as different brands of chocolate．Less than four ounces of milk chocolate is potentially fatal for Moose and other small dogs．

    　　Around every confection-centered holiday－Valentine’s Day, Easter and Christmas－at least three or four dogs are hospitalized overnight in the animal medical center at Colorado State．But in 16 years, Hackett has seen just one dog die from chocolate poisoning, and he suspects it may have had an underlying disease that made it more exposed to chocolate’s heart –racing effect．

    (1)

    The underlined expression“belly-up”probably means ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    dead

    B．

    poisonous

    C．

    running around

    D．

    having a headache

    (2)

    All of the following are true EXCEPT ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    chocolate’s danger to dogs depends on its quantity and quality

    B．

    people buy lots of chocolate around Valentine’s Day

    C．

    an ounce of unsweetened baking chocolate is safe for Moose

    D．

    there must be some theobromine or caffeine in espresso

    (3)

    What can we learn about Hackett?

    [　　]

    A．

    He is an animal doctor．

    B．

    He is a pet shop owner．

    C．

    He is the owner of Moose

    D．

    He is a doctor in a small hospital．

    (4)

    It can be inferred from the passage that Hackett believes that ________．

    [　　]

    [　　]

    A．

    the poisoning of Moose

    B．

    the compounds of different chocolates

    C．

    a handful M＆M’s chocolate is poisonous

    D．

    the relation between methylxanthines and chocolate poisoning

    　　Just seven years ago, the Jarvik-7 artificial heart was being cheered as the model of human creativeness．The sight of Barney Clark－alive and conscious after trading his diseased heart for a metal-and-plastic pump－convinced the press, the public and many doctors that the future had arrived．It hadn't．After monitoring production of the Jarvik-7, and reviewing its effects on the 150 or so patients(most of whom got the device as a temporary measure)the U．S．Food and Drug Administration concluded that the machine was doing more to endanger lives than to save them．Last week the agency cancelled its earlier approval, effectively banning(禁止)the device．

    　　The recall may hurt Symbion Inc．, maker of the Jarvik-7, but it won't end the request for an artificial heart．One problem with the banned mode is that the tubes connecting it to an external power source created a passage for infection．Inventors are now working on new devices that would be fully placed, along with a tiny power pack, in the patient's chest．The first sample products aren't expected for another 10 or 20 years．But some people are already worrying that they'll work－and that America's overextended health-care programs will lose a precious ＄2.5 billion to ＄5 billion a year providing them for a relatively few dying patients．If such expenditures(开支)cut into funding for more basic care, the net effect could actually be a decline in the nation's health．

    　　Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems．While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves．University of Missouri(MU)researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient．

    　　“To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density”，said Jae Kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU．“The radioisotope(放射性同位素)battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries．”

    　　Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, presently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro / nanoelectromechanical systems(M/NEMS)．Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said they are safe．

    　　“People hear the word ‘nuclear’ and think of something very dangerous,” he said, “However, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems．”

    　　His new idea is not only in the battery’s size, but also in its semiconductor(半导体)．Kwon’s battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor．

    　　“The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure of the solid semiconductor,” Kwon said, “By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem．”

    　　Together with J．David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery．In the future, they hope to increase the battery’s power, shrink its size and try with various other materials．Kwon said that battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair．

    (1)

    Which of the following is true of Jae Kwon?

    [　　]

    A．

    He teaches chemistry at MU．

    B．

    He developed a chemical battery．

    C．

    He is working on a nuclear energy source．

    D．

    He made a breakthrough in computer engineering．

    (2)

    Jae Kwon gave examples in Paragraph 4 ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    to show chemical batteries are widely applied．

    B．

    to introduce nuclear batteries can be safely used．

    C．

    to describe a nuclear-powered system．

    D．

    to introduce various energy sources．

    (3)

    Liquid semiconductor is used to ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    get rid of the radioactive waste

    B．

    test the power of nuclear batteries．

    C．

    decrease the size of nuclear batteries

    D．

    reduce the damage to lattice structure．

    (4)

    According to Jae Kwon, his nuclear battery ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    uses a solid semiconductor

    B．

    will soon replace the present ones．

    C．

    could be extremely thin

    D．

    has passed the final test．

    (5)

    The text is most probably a ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    science news report

    B．

    book review

    C．

    newspaper ad

    D．
