There is a story about the moon cake.During the Yuan dynasty, China was ruled by the Mongolian people. Leaders from the preceding Song dynasty were unhappy about being ruled by foreigners, so they began to organize a secret rebellion.

Televisions were among the most talked about items at the 2013 International Consumer Electronics Show last week in Las Vegas, Nevada. Some employed the most advanced technology ever.
Some of the TVs used a new technology called Organic Light Emitting Diodes, or OLED. They were thinner, lighter, offered better color and were brighter than traditional LEDs. Smart TVs this year were smarter. Many offered technology that let users have a more personalized experience. One such TV from the electronics company TCL uses sensors and voice recognition to determine who is watching. It then offers programming based on the specific user. Another TV from Panasonic offers a similar personalized user experience.
In addition to television technology, size also played a major part in CES 2013. Televisions varied in size from big to bigger, with at least two companies — Samsung and HiSense — exhibiting TVs measuring 110 inches.
The yearly Consumer Electronics Show is the biggest technology trade show in North America and one of the biggest in the world.
Gary Shapiro is president and CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association, the group that organizes CES. He gave one of the keynote speeches on opening day.
“Now you know that CES is more than a trade show. It’s a gathering of the brightest minds and the top leaders from many industries and those seeking a glimpse into the future.”
That glimpse into the future included a look at digital health and fitness devices, which were also big at CES 2013. There were devices that track your activity and others that measure blood pressure, heart rate and weight. There was even a fork that tells you when you are eating too fast.
Cars, smart-phones, tablet computers and PCs also made news. And a 27-inch table computer drew quite a bit of attention.
CEA President Gary Shapiro says there was much to see but not nearly enough time to see it all. “You cannot see the show in the four days that you have. We have over 3200 different industries showing over 20,000 new products. It’s absolutely incredible.”
1.At the 2013 CES, which item drew the most attention?
A. Cars. B. Smart-phones. C. Computers. D. Televisions.
2.From the text, we can know that the TV from Panasonic _________.
A. is bigger than the others B. uses the technology of OLED
C. offers a personalized experience D. can track your activity
3.What can we know from Gary Shapiro?
A. CES is only a big trade show.
B. CES offers a glimpse into the future.
C. CES lasts only four days in all.
D. He thinks little of the new products’ quality.
4.At the CES, the biggest TV in size might be from ______.
A. HiSense B. Panasonic C. TCL D. CEA
5.From the passage we can infer that__________.
A. the CES is held every 4 years
B. at the 2013 CES, the TV section was crowded
C. if you watch TV every day, you needn’t see a doctor
D. tablet computers drew more attention at the 2013 CES

The worst earthquake in 40 years shook South Asia on Sunday, starting with horrible waves that swept entire villages into the sea. At least 20,000 people in six countries were killed in the disaster, and millions were left homeless.
The quake shook deep beneath the Indonesian island of Sumatra. It was felt more than 3000 miles away in East Africa, where heavy tides kept fishermen at home and resorts(度假胜地)closed.
It was as if the sea had struck the land. Residents of Sri Lanka, a small island country off the coast of India, ran to the hills to find safety from the tsunami. Many took their radios, televisions, and other valuables with them. The disaster hit Sri Lanka hardest. Of its 20million people, 1 million lost their homes, and 10000 died.
“The water simply raised itself up and huge waves came ashore,” wrote eye-witness(目击者)Peter Thomas from India. “It was moving very fast. The force broke the glass walls of a restaurant on the beach here and damaged hundreds of boats.”
In some places, the tsunami struck with no warning. “The weather was fine with no clouds,” wrote an eye-witness in Indonesia. “Suddenly the seawater just hit the city. In some parts the water was up to chest level.”
A massive(大众的)effort to help the affected countries is already underway. Leaders from around the world have promised to help, and teams of aid workers and doctors are rushing to the sea. “The United States stands ready to offer all the help to those nations most affected.” Said White House spokesman Trent Duffy. Organizations from the Red Cross to the International Monetary Fund have started fund-raising(筹款)drives to make up the costs of rebuilding.
1. The underlined word “tsunami” in Paragraph 5 can probably be replaced by “__________.”
A.fierce wind |
B.heavy rain |
C.terrible storm |
D.large waves |
2. Which of the following is NOT true when this disaster happened?
A.A sudden storm started with thunder and lightning. |
B.The seawater rose suddenly and flooded the land. |
C.Huge waves came upon the land, damaging the buildings and boats. |
D.The sea struck the land, causing heavy losses. |
3.In the last paragraph, the writer mainly states __________.
A.lack of help |
B.international efforts |
C.the fighting against the disaster |
D.the result of disasters |
4.What’s the best title of the passage?
A.Tens of Thousands of People Are in Danger |
B.Storm Caused Disasters in South Asia |
C.Terrible Quake Hits South Asia |
D.International Aid for South Asia |
5.Where would you probably see this passage?
A.In a textbook. |
