    　　Currently, lasers give manufacturers(制造者)ultra precise(精确的)standards of measurement, unprecedented(前所未有的)cutting and drilling power, light－speed quality control, and are employed in a host of other ways．Doors may hear labels reading“Danger－invisible laser radiation－Avoid eye or skin exposure to direct or scattered radiation”, but in spite of the risk, lasers are at work in plants and businesses throughout the world．They help shape ships, cars, jewelry and electronics components．They guide cutting, drilling and tunneling．They do things no other tool can do in the same time, offering the speed of light, a heat greater than at the surface of the sun and a line straighter than any that can even be reasonably compared to ordinary rulers, tapes or survey．

    　　Laser light has special qualities suited to industrial applications that no ordinaty tools can match．Intense and highly directional, laser beams can be focused to needle a huge amount of power upon a pinpoint, or on an area much smaller．By focusing the laser's beam through lenses, just as you can tighten a sunbeam with a magnifying glass so that it will burn holes in paper, it is possible to make the coherent laser light concentrate its energy on an almost unbelievably tiny spot．Narrowed by optics, a laser can drill 300 separate holes in the head of a pin．You can get an idea of the concentration(集中)of energy in this tiny spot by considering what happens if you hit a piece of wood with a hammer－at most a dent, but not much more．Hit the much smaller head of a nail with the same hammer, and you will drive the nail through the wood．Energy concentrated on a small point accomplishes much more than energy spread out over a wider area．

    　　That's why coherent, tightly focused beams of laser light can do so much more than ordinary, spread out, incoherent light．You can get an idea of the difference in power between ordinary light and laser light by glancing at a household light bulb for an instant．The worst that will happen is that you will retain the image of the bulb on your retina(视网膜)for a few seconds after looking away．If you stared straight at a laser beam for even a fraction of a second, you could burn a hole clear through your retina, resulting in permanent loss of eyesight．

    (1)

    Which of the following is NOT true about laser light according to the passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    Laser beams are widely used in manufacturing industry．

    B．

    Laser beams are applied in medical treatment and research．

    C．

    Laser beams can reach a heat greater than that on the surface of the sun．

    D．

    Laser beams are intense and highly directional．

    (2)

    Laser light can replace all of the following tools EXCEPT ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    hole－puncher

    B．

    ruler

    C．

    heater

    D．

    power generator(发电机)

    (3)

    Apart from all its advantages, laser light has a disadvantage which is ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    direct contact with laser lights can cause permanent physical damage

    B．

    the application of laser light will eventually deprive people of their eyesight

    C．

    it can only be applied in limited areas of industry

    D．

    the application of laser light in industry is hard to achieve

    (4)

    Which of the following best explains the structure of the passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    A definition is given, and it is followed by various examples of application．

    B．

    Basic features are introduced, and analogies(类比)are used to give the readers a better understanding．

    C．

    An old theory is presented, and then challenged in the later half of the passage．

    D．

    Overall descriptions of the main features of laser light．

    　　Clive was climbing an old tree on Butter Hill．His father and Mr Drew were deeply absorbed in conversation not far away, which Clive could overhear．

    　　“…North Dakota, capital Bismarck,” said Clive’s father．

    　　“Yes, and of South Dakota, it’s Pierre．Delaware next, capital Dover, with a population of only 5000…”

    　　Clive listened, checking the names．When they got stuck on Indiana, he came down the tree and went across to them．

    　　“Let me see now,” Mr Drew was saying, “Indiana, Indiana…the capital must be Fort Wayne．”

    　　“Ready? Fifty questions．Number 1－write the name of this river．Number 2－the name of this State．3－its capital, here．4－the name of this bay(海湾)．5…”

    　　Clive has quite forgotten whether he enjoyed learning geography or not．He didn’t consider the rights or wrongs．Though he has never studied geography since he left school, he has never forgotten it．He is glad about the way he learned．The work might have been dull, unexciting; but if so, the dullness has given him a lifetime of interest, understanding and pleasure．

    　　Just put your special clothes on in the morning and you could jump 3 meters into the air and even carry more than 60 kilograms without getting tired．The walk to school would be very ,very easy．Such supercharged clothing is one of the products that could be created using“wearable robotics”technology．

    　　Designed to improve a person's senses and skills, the device could be as simple as a hearing aid．Or it could be a full-body suit that senses what you're going to do, then helps you do it better．

    　　“A superman suit would be the final result in wearable robotics,”said Francois Pin, head of robotics and energy systems at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory(橡树林国家实验室), US．While these suits are at least ten years away, in some areas the technology is already in use．

    　　Researchers are developing artificial arms and legs that allow old, disabled or injured people to move freely．Thus US Army is interested in using wearable robot legs to help soldiers run faster, carry more equipment and be stronger in battle．Jobs that involve lifting heavy loads or saving lives from the rubble of an earthquake could also become much easier．

    　　A robot is a device that responds to a command．You're probably with simple robots, such as toy cars or airplanes that respond to buttons you push on a remote control．

    　　Wearable robotics goes further．Instead of just receiving information through a wire or remote control, the robotic device can send information back to its controller．

    　　Suppose you wore a sleeve that has sensors where your joints are．Every time you move your arm, the sleeve senses your movements and sends the information to a robot, which then moves its arm just as you did．When the robot hits or touches something, it sends a signal back to the sleeve and you sense the action．

    　　In this way, scientists are working to wrap the robot around the person．Their goal is to make the sleeve, shoe or suit help you do what you want to do．

    (1)

    Which of the following can replace the underlined word“supercharged”in Paragraph one?

    [　　]

    A．

    expensive

    B．

    overcharged

    C．

    advanced

    D．

    full of electricity

    (2)

    Products resulting from this wearable robotics technology do not include ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    remote controls

    B．

    hearing aids

    C．

    wearable robot legs

    D．

    superman suits

    From the passage, we can infer that ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    it will be ten years before robotic devices are in use

    　　Tattoos(纹身)and body piercings(穿洞)have moved up on the trend list in recent years．Around Western schools lots of teens are sporting new holes and flesh ink．Like all other subjects, we'll surely be faced with such situation．To get a better view of what has happened in the West, let's sit down and hear what they say．

    　　Kerstin Otto from Washington：

    　　The hotter it gets and the more layers of clothing disappear, the more tattoos and piercings appear on various places of the human body, I wouldn't be caught dead with a snake tattooed on my ankle or with a piece of metal stuck in my belly button．

    　　Erin from Indiana：

    　　I think body piercing is cool．In most situations, you don't really have to worry about it getting torn out．I go to Noblesville High School．I am a sophomore(that is the l0th grade)．Body piercing can be cool, only if it is not taken to too much of an extent．I would not want to get my nose pierced, just because I think I'll look bad．But that is my personal opinion．I guess that type of thing is a cultural difference．

    　　Tiara from Indiana：

    　　I personally think body piercing is sickening．If there were supposed to be holes in your body, you would have been born with them．I do, however, think that ear piercing, is not wrong．There is a difference between ear piercing and belly button piercing．Ear piercing is not nearly as dangerous．I would be sick if someone stuck a needle in my belly button．

    　　Lee from Illinois：

    　　Hi!I live in Illinois．I am 23．I have 12 tattoos and three piercings．I love my tattoos and consider myself an art collector．You would be surprised at who has given me the thumbs-up on my art work．People on the street stop me to look at that on my leg．Most of them don't know what it is．They just think the work itself is great．

    　　Subotai from California：

    　　I'm not prohibitive(禁止)of self-expression, but when I see high school students getting these piercings, I really wonder．In some cases, the drive is deeper and darker than mere fashion．A friend of mine tried piercing her own tongue with a safety pin．It got infected and she had a tongue the size of a cow's．

    　　Nagib from Washington：

    　　I wanted an earring．My friends had them and it looked like a cool thing．I wanted to get a nose ring, but my mum wouldn't let me．Now I'm glad I didn't get it．I just wanted a little stud, but I wouldn't have looked good with it．

    　　Jackson from Ohio：

    　　I don't think it's wrong, but when people do it all over the place like their face and everything －I think that's ridiculous．People who get the big dragons that cover your whole body－I don't think that's necessary．When I see naked chicks on guys, I think．“You have no respect for women．”

    　　Brittney from New York：

    　　You don't want to do stuff to your body．You don t need to do that because you were made perfect．You don't need to add piercings．If it will make you feel beautiful and you really feel like you need to do it for yourself, then okay．If it really makes a big difference impacting your self-esteem and how you are towards others, then do it．But otherwise, don't mess with what you got．Maybe you should try something more substantial(充实的)to find beauty in yourself．

    (1)

    [　　]

    A．

    Tiara

    B．

    Erin

    C．

    阅读理解

    　　The research carried out by the University of Bari in Italy could help prove hospitals who are accused of wasting money on art and decoration as it suggests a pleasant environment helps patients ease discomfort and pain．

    　　A team headed by Professor Marina de Tommaso at the Neurophysiopathology Pain Unit asked a group of men and women to pick the 20 paintings they considered most ugly and most beautiful from a selection of 300 works by artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Sandro Botticelli．They were then asked to look at either the beautiful paintings, or the ugly painting, or a blank panel(板)while the team put a short laser pulse at their hand, creating a sensation as if they had been stuck by a pin．The subjects rated the pain as being a third less intense(剧烈的)while they were viewing the beautiful paintings, compared with when looking at the ugly paintings or the blank panel．Electrodes(电极)measuring the brain's electrical activity also confirmed a reduced response to the pain when the subject looked at beautiful paintings．

    　　While distractions, such as music, are known to reduce pain in hospital patients, Prof de Tommaso says this is the first result to show that beauty plays a part．

    　　The findings, reported in New Scientist, also go a long way to show that beautiful surroundings could aid the healing process．

    　　"Hospitals have been designed to be functional, but we think that their artistic aspects should be taken into account too," said the neurologist．"Beauty obviously offers a distraction that ugly paintings do not．But at least there is no suggestion that ugly surroundings make the pain worse．I think these results show that more research is needed into the field how a beautiful environment can alleviate suffering．"

    　　Pictures they liked included Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh and Botticellis Birth of Venus．Pictures they found ugly included works by Pablo Picasso, the Italian 20th century artist Anonio Bueno and Columbian Fernando Botero．"These people were not art experts so some of the pictures they found ugly would be considered masterpieces by the art world," said Prof de Tommaso．

    (1)

    The underlined word “alleviate” in the fifth paragraph probably means “________”．

    [　　]

    A．

    cure

    B．

    relieve

    C．

    improve

    D．

    kill

    (2)

    Which of the following is TURE about the view of Prof Marina de Tommaso?

    [　　]

    A．

    Beautiful surroundings could help to heal sufferings completely．

    B．

    Hospitals must take their artistic aspects into consideration first．

    C．

    Ugly surroundings will surely make the pain worse．

    D．

    Both music and beauty can reduce pain in hospital patients．

    (3)

    From the last paragraph, we know that ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    some artists' paintings were beautiful, so they were masterpieces

    B．

    only art experts could judge they were masterpieces or not, though ugly

    C．

    the artists mentioned above were not really art masters．

    D．

    some of them were art masters, while others were not．

    (4)

    Which of the following is the suitable title for the passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    Beautiful surroundings can ease pain．

    B．

    Ugly paintings could be masterpieces．

    C．

    More research should be done in the field．
