If so, you may consider using devices(设备)that use technologies like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Neither of them sends information through wires. It sounds perfect, doesn't it? But this is not the end of the story.Scientists are now trying to use the human body to do a similar job. They have come up with the idea of sending information over the small electric field on the surface of the skin. To do this, a transmitter(传送器)could be built into your pocket or a portable device like an MP3 player. This transmitter would then use your skin's electrical field to send information to a receiving device. Since this kind of transmission can only go as far as 20cm, the receiver would have to be close to some part of your body.By using this body network, you wouldn't need a wire to link your MP3 player in your pocket to the headphones in your ears, or to send to your computer the pictures from a digital camera hanging around your neck. Moreover, you can exchange electronic cards or share music files with others by shaking hands, dancing cheek(脸颊)to cheek, or kissing each other.Now, here comes a question. Why would anyone want to use their body as a network when Wi-Fi and Bluetooth already exist? The answer lies in the fact that with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, it is hard to limit the signals only to your own use. In a busy place, you can never know who might steal your information. However, body networking is safer. It is hard for other people to pick up signals sent over the surface of your skin since this body network only has a limit of 20cm from your body. Thus, no one else can easily pick up and interpret your signals.Moreover, the most important use of body networking in the future may well be communication within the body rather than just on its surface. Imagine having a number of small devices implanted under your skin and using them to control your own nervous system. In other words, imagine that you have a powerful in-body computer. What do you think of this idea? Does it sound cool, like being a character in the movie RoboCop? Or would you prefer to be just an ordinary human being?6.What's the main idea of the passage?A. Technology is causing us to be lazy.B. Technology is doing harm to our body.C. Technology is advancing too quickly.D. Technology is making our life easier.7.Which of the following is NOT the way to exchange information over the skin?A. Shaking hands. B. Looking into one's eyes.C. Kissing each other. D. Dancing cheek to cheek.8.The body network is safer because _________.A. the information is only important to youB. the information is stored inside your bodyC. the information is sent out only 20cm from your bodyD. the information is controlled by your nervous system9.The movie RoboCop is most likely about________.A. a man that is controlled by a computerB. a computer that turns into a manC. a robot that catches a thiefD. a thief that steals a robot七选五A man came home from work late, tired and found his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door. “Daddy, may I ask you a question?” “Yeah, sure, what is it?” replied the man. 1. “If you must know, I make $20 an hour.” “Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down. Then he looked up and said, “Daddy, may I borrow $10?” The father was angry, “If the only reason you asked for that is to borrow some money to buy a silly toy, then you should go to bed.” 2. After about an hour or so, the man calmed down, and started to think. Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn’t ask for money very often. 3. “Are you asleep, son?” He opened the door and asked. “No, Daddy,” replied the boy. “I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you just now.” said the man, “Here’s the $10 you asked for.” 4. “Oh, thank you, Daddy!” he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some small change. 5. “Why do you want more money if you have already had some?” the father asked angrily. “Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do.” The little boy replied, “Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home earlier tomorrow, I would like to have dinner with you.”A. Silently the little boy returned the money to his father with tears.B. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.C. “Daddy, how much do you make an hour?”D. “Daddy, how much do you spend a day?”E. The man went to the door of the little boy’s room.F. The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.G. The little boy sat straight up, smiling.语法填空 (1)________ is known to all, China is a large country (2)_________ agriculture.

Unfortunate, I had an accident and hit another car, and I needed to stay in a hospital for at least two week. I called my parents, so I did not tell them what had happened. I knew that they will be worried about myself because I was so farther away, and that my mother would not sleep if she knew. Therefore, I told them interested stories and how I was enjoying Brazil. As a result, nobody knew truth. I still think it was the right thing to do.2. I was real sad when I found my bicycle went wrong again. Tired of repairing it again and again, I decided buy a new one. After school, I went to a shop lying in the center of the city with a friend who called Jack. The black bicycle attracted my eyes as soon as we went into the store. It looked so cool that I could hardly wait to ride it. The shopkeepers told us that it was the latest bicycle. He wanted to charge me 800 yuan, that was too high for me. I just couldn’t afford so an expensive one. Then I choose another one, which cost him only 200 yuan. It was not perfect, and it was much better than the old one.完形填空A year ago I paid no attention to English idioms, my teacher said again and again that it was important.One day, I happened to __ _ an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to __ .As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner shook his head, saying, “You don’t say!

Not only is it unable to see, but because it cannot receive the visual stimulus(刺激)from its environment that a sighted child does, it is likely to be slow in intellectual development. Now the ten-month old son of Dr. and Mrs. Dennis Daughters is the subject of an unusual psychological experiment designed to prevent a lag(滞后)in the learning process. With the aid of a sonar-type electronic that he wears on his head, infant(婴儿) Dennis is learning to identify the people and objects in the world around him by means of echoes(回声).The device is an improvement of the “Sonicguide”, an instrument produced by Telesensory Systems,Inc., of Palo Alto, Calif, and used by blind adults in addition to a smart or guide dog. As adapted for Dennis, it consists of a battery-powered system about the size of a half dollar that is on a headgear. A transmitter sends out an ultrasonic(超声的) pulse that creates an 80 degree cone of sound at 6 feet. Echoes from objects within the cone are perceived (felt) as sounds that vary in pitch(音调) and volume(音量) with the size and distance of the object.The closer an object is, the lower the pitch, and the larger the object, the louder the signal. Hard surfaces produce a sharp ping, while soft ones send back signals with a slightly fuzzy quality. An object slightly to the right of Denny’s sends back a louder sound to his right ear than to the left. Thus , by simply moving his head right and left and up and down, he can not only locate an object but also get some notion of its shape and size, thanks to the varying qualities of sounds reaching his ears as the cone of ultrasound(超声波) passes its edges. Dennis likes to use the device to play a kind of peek-a-boo with his mother. Standing on her knee and facing her directly, he receives a strong signal in both ears. By turning his head away, he makes her seem to disappear. “From the first time he wore it,” says Mrs. Daughters, “it was like a light going on in his head.”What remains to be determined is how well the device will help Dennis cope with his surroundings as he begins to walk and venture further into his environment.Meanwhile, Telesensory, Inc, is working on the development of sonar(声纳) device with somewhat the same sensitivity as Dennis’s for use by school-age children.10.Dr. and Mrs. Daughters’ research is directed to ________.A. helping the blind to see and learn as well as othersB. benefiting the learning process of blind childrenC. solving blind children’s psychological problemsD. finding out how children develop intellectually11.Infant Dennis becomes the subject of the experiment most probably because ________.A. he already lags behind the sighted childrenB. he leads a life as normal as any other childrenC. he is at the early stage of the learning processD. he has the aid of a sonar-type electronic device12.What can we learn about infant Dennis’ device?A. Its first design was designed for blind adults.B. Its battery is as small as a half-dollar coin.C. It is functionally similar to a sane and guide dog.D. It has been improved by Telesensory Systems, Inc.13.In the third paragraph, “its edges” refers to ___________ .A. the edge of an objectB. the edge of the deviceC. the boundary of Dennis’ movementD. the boundary of the sound pitch.语法填空Until recently daydreaming was viewed as a waste of time.

Freyberg has concluded that daydreaming contributes __6____intellectual growth. It also improves 7 ____ (concentrate), attention span, and the ability to get 8 ____ with others. Industrialist Henry J. Kaiser believed that much of his success was due to the positive use of daydreaming. Florence Nightingale dreamed of becoming a nurse. The young Thomas Edison pictured 9 __ __ as an inventor. For these notable achievers, it appears 10 their daydreams came true. Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick offered this advice: “hold a picture of yourself… in your mind’s eye, and you will be drawn toward it. Picture yourself vividly as defeated and that alone will make victory impossible.1.B2.A3.C4.B5.D6.C7.B8.D9.C10.A11.B12.B13.A14.C15.C16.A17.B18.C19.D20.A6.D7.B8.C9.A1. C 2.F3.E4.G5.B1.
