           In October on the east coast of Australia migrating(迁徙) humpback whales (座头鲸) pass 
    very close  to  the shore. With the help of Max Egan, we went to film them near Byron Bay. It
    was extremely exciting to spot the little puffs(水柱)of spray on the horizon. When migrating, the
    whales can be traveling at speeds of about 12 km an hour and can dive under anywhere between
    five and forty minutes, but with many years of experience Max usually guided our boat to exactly
    the right place to provide us with amazing sighting. As the whales break the surface like submarines
    (潜水艇 ) , the water spills off their broad dark backs and huge tails. Then, with a powerful down
    stroke ,they dive back into the depths of the sea, leaving just a smooth glassy patch of water or
    "footprint" on the surface to show where they had been.
         One day we had traveled up and down the shore and far out to the sea in search of whales, but
    the horizon was deserted. There was no report of whales in the area so we
    decided to test out Max's new, highly sensitive hydrophone (水中听音器) and the result was
    astonishing. As soon as the hydrophone was in the water, we found ourselves listening to the most
    beautiful voices. What may have seemed like a vast empty ocean filled with the singing of whales.
         It is the males which sing,as they migrate between feeding and breeding (养育) grounds. No one
    knows for sure what the purpose of these songs is,whether they are love songs to the females or
    warnings to other males to stay away.
        It was thought that each population of hump backs had its own song which remained regular but
    recent findings suggest that the whales appreciate a memorable tune (曲调)and quickly adopt any
    new songs they hear.
    1. Which finding about the whale is beyond the writer's expectation?     
    A. The little puffs.
    B. The songs of whales.
    C. The traveling speed of the whale.
    D. The depth of the whales' dive.
    2. What do we know about Max?    
    A. He likes whales very much.
    B. He is a brave scientist on whales.
    C. He is an experienced man in finding whales.
    D. He is an expert in making hydrophones.

    3. The author's main purpose of looking for whales in the passage is___________.

    A. carrying out research on whales
    B. studying the beautiful songs of whales
    C. making films about whales
    D. hunting whales for research
    4. What's the wrong opinion about whales before according to the passage?     

    A. Each group of humpbacks had the song of their own
    B. Whales can't sing to each other.
    C. Whales aren't easy to find.
    D. The whale can't dive in the sea as long as forty minutes.

         Today just as technology changed the face of industry, farmers have undergone an "agricultural
    revolution". On the farm of today, machines provide all the power.
         One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer. A few forward-looking farmers
    are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently. The computers help them
    keep more accurate records so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant, how much
    livestock to buy, when to sell their products, and how much profit they can expect. Many computer
    companies have been developing special computer programs just for farmers. Programs are being
    written for hog(猪) producers, grain farmers, potato farmers, and dairy farmers. In the future, farmers
    will be able to purchase computer programs made to their needs. Because of the growing importance
    of computers on the farm, students at agricultural colleges are required to take computer classes in
    addition to their normal agricultural courses. There can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers
    even more in the future. While the old-time farm depended on horse power, and modern farms
    depend on machine power, farms of the future will depend on computer power.
         Another technological advance which is still in the experimental stage is the robot, a real "mechanized
    hired hand" that will be able to move and, in some ways, think like a human being. Unlike farmers of
    the present, farmers of the future will find that many day-to-day tasks will be done for them. Scientists
    are now developing robots that will be able to shear(修剪) sheep, drive tractors, and harvest fruit.
    Even complex jobs will be done by robots. For example, in order to milk their cows, farmers must
    first drive them into the special barn(畜棚), then connect them to the milking machines, watch the
    machines, and disconnect them when they are finished. In the future, this will all be done by robots.
    In addition, when the milking is completed, the robots will automatically check to make sure that
    the milk is pure. The complete mobilization of the farm is far in the future, but engineers expect that
    some robots will be used before long.

         Sometimes you'll hear people say that you can't love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you'll
    hear people say that you can't expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way,
    you've got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we're the apple of our
    parents' eyes, and that our Grandmas think we're great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will
    go to the Olympics, but sometimes it's a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find
    that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.
         Self-image is your own mind's picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you
    act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our selfimages are often quite different from the
    images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be.
    Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your selfimage and your whole
    world.
         The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That
    is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don't allow doubts
    to occur in it.
         It very well might be that you are experiencing a neg- ative self-image because you can't move past
    one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as
    your primary task. If you think you're silly because you aren't good at math, find a tutor. If you think
    you're weak because you can't run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you're dull because
    you don't wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn't
    mean it's true.
        The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and
    to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those
    you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat(拍)  
    yourself on the back, you'll know you're well on your way. Good luck!  

    1.  You need to build a positive self image when you__________.      
    A. dare to challenge yourself
    B. feel it hard to change yourself
    C. are unconfident about yourself
    D. have a high opinion of yourself
    2. According to the passage, our self-images__________.                
    A. have positive effects
    B. are probably untrue
    C. are often changeable                               
    D. have different functions
    3. How should you change your self-image according to the passage?     
    A. To keep a different image of others.
    B. To make your life successful.
    C. To understand your own world.
    D. To change the way you think.
    4. What is the passage mainly about?    
    A. How to prepare for your success.
    B. How to face challenges in your life.
    C. How to build a positive self-image.
    D. How to develop your good qualities.
    5. Who are the intended readers of the passage?     
    A. Parents.
    B. Adolescents.
    C. Educators.
    D. People in general.

         What looks like a black hole, behaves like a black hole, but is bigger than a black hole? Two
    black holes! Astronomers last week discovered a pair of enormous black holes far out in the galaxy
    that appear to be dancing toward each other. However, astronomers say the collision is not likely
    to occur for several million years.
         Black holes are objects in outer space that are so dense that nothing can escape their gravity.
    They often sit in the center of a galaxy - like the Milky Way - and suck up everything near them.
    The gravitational pull of a black hole is so intense that not even light (Which travels faster than
    anything else in space) can make it past without being swallowed.
         Black holes, like the one at the center of the Milky Way, are enormous. Scientists call some
    of them "supermassive", because they can be a few million times the size of most stars. Their size,
    their mass, and their inescapable gravity make black holes a giant force of nature in outer space.
         Because there is no light near black holes, astronomers cannot actually see them; they are
    completely invisible to us on the Earth. Scientists manage to detect the existence of a black hole
    by watching what happens to other objects, or matter floating in space.
         So how did scientists manage to get a good look at a region so faraway? The team used an
    orbiting NASA observatory known as Chandra. This special observatory uses X-rays rather than
    light to watch far out into space. Right before a star gets sucked into a black hole, it produces a large
    number of X-rays.
    1. Which of the following statements CANNOT be used to describe a black hole?
    A. It is an object in space that can be seen on the Earth.
    B. It has extremely strong gravity.
    C. It can suck up everything near them.
    D. It is an enormous object in the galaxy.
    2. Why did the astronomers need to use Chandra?
    A. Because Chandra can throw light on black holes.
    B. Because Chandra can help them see black holes in X-rays.
    C. Because Chandra was sucked into the black hole.
    D. Because Chandra can resist the gravitational pull of a black hole.
    3. Which of the following is NOT discussed in the passage?
    A. Why black holes get an immense force of nature.
    B. How stars react when sucked into a black hole.
    C. Black holes' swallowing up many nearby stars.
    D. How black holes come into existence.
    4. Which is the latest space discovery about black holes?
    A. Two black holes appear to be advancing toward each other.
    B. The location of black holes in the galaxy.
    C. New clues about the beginning of the universe.
    D. Nothing near a black hole can escape without being swallowed.

         People often have the impression that Chinese characters are extremely difficult to learn. In fact, if
    you were to try to learn how to write Chinese characters, you would find that they are not nearly as
    difficult as you may have imagined. And they certainly qualify as forming one of the most attractive,
    beautiful, logical(合乎逻辑的), and scientifically constructed(构造) writing systems in the world. Each
    stroke(笔画)has its own special significance. If you are familiar with the rules of Chinese characters, you
    will find it very easy to remember even the most complicated looking character, and never miss a stroke.
         The earliest known examples of Chinese written characters in their developed form are carved into
    tortoise shells and ox bones. The majority of these characters are pictographs. Archaeologists of various
    countries have learned that most early writing systems went through a pictographic stage, as did the
    Egyptian hieroglyphics. Most writing systems, however, eventually developed a phonetic(表示语音的)
    alphabet to represent the sounds of spoken language rather than visual images observed in the physical
    world.
         One notable feature of Chinese characters is the "radical." "Radical" in English means "root". For
    example, the characters yu "language," shuo "talk," i "discuss," "opinion," and lun "discuss" all share the
    yen radical, which means "language," and gives the reader a clue to the meaning of the character as a
    whole. The characters hsiu "rotten," shan "cedar," " t'ao "peach," and lin "forest," all contain the mu
    "wood" or "tree" radical, indicating one of their shared key characteristics. If you know the radical of a
    character, you can usually get a general idea of the meaning of the character it is a part of. Although there
    is a theoretical total of almost 50,000 written Chinese characters, only about 5,000 of these are frequently used; and the total number of radicals is only 214. So learning to read and write Chinese is not nearly so
    formidable a task as it may at first seem.
    1. According to the author, Chinese characters are _____
    A. extremely difficult to learn  
    B. as difficult as you may have imagined
    C. difficult to remember   
    D. scientifically constructed
    2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
    A. All the Chinese characters are pictographs.
    B. Some strokes are more important than others.
    C. There are rules in forming the Chinese characters.
    D. Some writing systems eventually developed a phonetic alphabet.
    3. The passage is mainly about _____.
    A. the Chinese writing system
    B. the strokes of the Chinese characters
    C. pictographs
    D. the radical of the Chinese characters

         We have met the enemy, and he is ours. We bought him at a pet shop. When monkey-pox,a disease
    usually found in the African rain forest, suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest, it's hard
    not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings. "Most of the
    infections(感染) we think of as human infections started in other animals, "says Stephen Morse, director
    of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University.    
         It's not just that we're going to where the animals are; we're also bringing them closer to us. Popular
    foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country. A strange illness killed Isaksen's pets, and
    she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea. "I don't think it's fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them, "says Isaksen.    
         "Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need
    changing," says Peter Schantz. Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call. Researchers believe infected
    animals may infect their owners. We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug(病毒) may
    be kind at first. But it may develop into something harmful(有害的).

         Many people watched the lift-off of the space shuttle Columbia on March 21, 1982. But none
    watched more closely than eighteen-year-old Ted, as Ted's insects were on board the shuttle.
         The Shuttle Student Involvement Program invited students to make a science experiment. The
    experiment would be done by astronauts on the space shuttle.
         Ted had always been interested in space and flight. Insect flight especially interested him. Ted
    noticed that insects need gravity to take off and land. They need gravity to fly in a straight line. But
    in space, there is no gravity. Could insects fly in zero gravity? That is what Ted wanted to find out.
         Ted made an experiment called "Insect in Flight Motion Study". He entered his experiment and
    soon news came that it was a winner.
         A large team of scientists and engineers helped Ted get his experiment ready to fly. There were
    many questions to be answered first. What kind of insects would Ted use in his experiment? The
    insects would have to be strong enough to live on the shuttle for nine days without much food. What
    kind of container would hold the insects? Would the insects die during the shuttle flight?
         After months of hard work, the "insectronauts" were chosen. A group of moths, flies, and
    honeybees were put into a special box and put onto the space shuttle. When Columbia flew into
    space, it was carrying insect passengers.
         On March 24, astronauts Gordon Fullerton and Jack Lousma took out the box that held the
    insects. They began filming the insects with a special video camera.
    When the space shuttle landed Ted was able to watch the video film of insects. Just as he thought,
    most of the insects did have trouble flying in zero gravity. The flies did well. But the moths' flight
    seemed "uncontrolled". They would often just hang in the air. The bees had the most trouble. They
    couldn't fly at all! The film showed bees spinning around in all directions. Others were just floating
    about in the box.
         Ted learned the answer to his question about insects' flight in zero gravity. But he also learned
    a lot more. He learned about the hard work needed in making a successful experiment.
    1.What does the underlined sentence "it was a winner" mean?
    A. Ted could fly in space.
    B. Ted won a prize.
    C. Ted's experiment was accepted.
    D. Ted won in a race.
    2. What did Ted want to find out?
    A. Whether the insects could fly in space.
    B. Whether the insects could fly in a straight line.
    C. Whether the insects could land after flying for a while.
    D. Whether the insects could take off after resting for a while.
    3. Of the three kinds of insects sent into space, which one flew worst in zero gravity?
    A. The flies.
    B. The honeybees.  
    C. The insects.
    D. The moths.
    4. Who did the experiment?
    A. Ted himself.
    B. Ted's friend.
    C. A large team of scientists and engineers.
    D. Two astronauts on the space shuttle.
    5. How did Ted learn the answer to his question about insects' flight in zero gravity?
    A. By asking the scientists and engineers.
    B. By studying a book written by the astronauts.
    C. By going into space and watching the insects' flight himself.
    D. By watching the video film made by the astronauts.

         Thirteen vehicles(车辆)lined up last March to race across the Mojave Desert, seeking a million
    in prize money. To win, they had to finish the 142-mile race in less than 10 hours. Teams and

         DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, organized the race as part of a push
    to develop robotic vehicles for future battlefields. But the Grand Challenge, as it was called, just
    proved how difficult it is to get a car to speed across an unfamiliar desert without human guidance.
    One had its brake locked up in the starting area. Another began by throwing itself onto a wall. Another
    got tied up by bushes near the road after 1.9 miles.
         One turned upside down. One took off in entirely the wrong direction and had to be disabled by
    remote     (远距离的) control. One went a little more than a mile and rushed into a fence; another
    managed to go for six miles but stuck on a rock. The "winner," if there was any, reached 7.8 miles
    before it ran into a long , narrow hole , and the front wheels caught fire.
    "You get a lot of respect for natural abilities of the living things," says Reinhold Behringer, who helped
    design two of the car-size vehicles for a company called Sci-Autonics. "Even ants  can do all these
    tasks effortlessly. It's very hard for us to put these abilities into our machines."
         The robotic vehicles, though with necessary modern equipment such as advanced computers and
    GPS guidance, had trouble figuring out fast enough the blocks ahead that a two-year-old human
    recognizes immediately, Sure, that very young child, who has just only learned to walk, may not think
    to wipe apple juice off her face, but she already knows that when there's a cookie in the kitchen she
    has to climb up the table, and that when she gets to the cookie it will taste good. She is more advanced,
    even months old, than any machine humans have designed.
