4.We all know the feeling:looking at the computer screen,pretending to be interested in our homework,even though we really feel bored.But such feelings may soon be at an end,says Dr.Harry Witchel,head of the Essex Medical School.He believes that computers of the future will notice when people feel bored and even take action to stop it.
Before you get concerned,the machine won't be reading your mind.It will be observing the many movements you make while using a computer.It's not interested in the big movements needed to use the machine 一 like moving a mouse or touching a screen-but small,barely noticeable movements like closing your eyes,moving in your seat or rubbing your face.Witchel calls these"boredom movements"and says they show how interested the person is in what they are reading or watching.The higher the interest level,the less movement!
To test his theory,Witchel invited 27 people to perform various computer-based tasks.The activities ranged from playing online games (an interesting task) to reading documents like government laws that most people would find boring.
A special video camera followed the participants'movements as they completed each task.Just as the researcher expected,the"boredom movements"greatly decreased,by as much as 42%,when the subjects were very interested in what they were reading or seeing.
Fortunately,Dr Witchel isn't planning to use his results to create machines that report students who are not paying attention at school.Instead,he wants"movement sensing"technology to be built into future computers in order to improve students'computer-based learning experience.
The scientist says that by measuring the students'interest level as they work,educators will be able to adjust their materials in real-time to keep students focused.Witchel also believes that the technology can provide filmmakers with honest audience opinions and in the future,help to develop more intelligent robots.

32.What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph 1 refer to?C
A.Homework.B.A computer.C.Boredom.D.The future.
33.Why did Dr Witchel carry out his research?D
A.To discover how bored people move.
B.To find out what makes people bored.
C.To see if interested people are more active.
D.To test the link between boredom and movement.
34.Which movement would Witchel's technology most likely pay attention to?D
A.Turning off the machine.
B.Typing words on a keyboard.
C.Surfing quickly between webpages.
D.Moving one's head from side to side.
35.How will the new technology help education,according to Witchel?B
A.By reducing teachers'workload.
B.By maintaining students'learning interest.
C.By reporting students'misbehavior in class.
D.By making learning more like a computer game.

5.A few years ago it was popular to speak of a generation gap,a disagreement between young people and their elders.Parents said that children did not show them proper respect and obedience (服从),while children complained (抱怨) that their parents did not understand them at all.What had gone wrong?Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared?Actually the generation gap has been around for a long time.Many people argue that a gap is built into the fabric (结构) of our society.
One important cause of the generation gap is the chance that young people have to choose their own ways of life.In more traditional societies,when children grow up,they are expected to live in the same area as their parents,to marry people that their parents know and agree to,and to continue the family occupation (职业).In our society,young people often travel great distances for their education,move out of the family home at an early age,marry or live with people whom their parents have never met,and choose occupations different from those of their parents.
In our easily changing society,parents often expect their children to do better than they did:to find better jobs,to make more money,and to do all the things that they were unable to do.Often,however,the strong desire that parents have for their children are another cause of the disagreement between them.Often,they discover that they have very little in common with each other.
Finally,the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations.In a traditional culture,elderly people are valued for their wisdom,but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date overnight.The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds,separated by different skills and abilities.
No doubt,the generation gap will continue to be a feature (特点) of American life for some time to come.Its causes are rooted in the freedom and changes of our society,and in the rapid speed at which society changes.

5.The main idea of the first paragraph is thatB.
A.the generation gap suddenly appeared
B.the generation gap is a feature of modern social life
C.people can reduce the generation gap
D.many critics argue over the nature of the generation gap
6.The word"around"in Paragraph 1meansB.
A.on all sides   B.in existence   C.in every direction   D.near
7.In American society,young people oftenD.
A.depend on their parents to make a life
B.stay with their parents in order to get a chance for higher education
C.seek the best advice from their parents
D.have very little in common with their parents
8.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?C
A.Parents should be strict with their children.
B.The younger generation should value the older generation for their wisdom.
C.The generation gap is partly caused by the older generation.
D.The generation gap does not exist in American society.

2.My daughter Kelly is a cautious person.She needs to warm up to situations,and is hesitant to try new things.When with close friends,she becomes a leader who laughs loudly and chants,"Girls rule,boys drool."But when that comfort zone is not around her,she is shy and nervous.
This has been challenging for me at times."Shy"is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me.But this has been a year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence.This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team.This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels.And this year she completed her first kids'triathlon (三项全能).
On Saturday,with a thunderstorm coming soon and my son's birthday party later in the day,we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon.We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her,we got all the equipment she′d need,and we kept talking about the race.But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn,she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times.She was nervous but trying to keep it together.
And then it was her turn.From the second she jumped into the water,my heart soared.My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen.She dominated that swim,crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face.
I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life.It wasn′t because she did a sport or anything like that.It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn′t seen before.
All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling.She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day.I won the chance to see my girl shine.
Shine on,sweet baby.

1.Scientists in Colombia have trained a team of rats to help remove land mines from the countryside.Land mines are small bombs (炸弹) hidden in the ground and designed to explode when someone steps on them.
When trained,the rats can smell special metals in the mines and then signal to their human team.Then why use rats for such an important job?
In the past,dogs have been used to find bombs.Rats have a good sense of smell and can respond to orders,just like dogs do.But rats are much lighter than dogs.They stand less of a chance of setting off the mines,which explode under a certain amount of weight.What's more,the best rats are cheaper to keep than dogs.It costs about the same amount of money to take care of one dog as it does 70rats.
The rats have already been used in Tanzania,an African country with many land mines.Luisa Fernanda Méndez and her team in Colombia are training the even lighter Wistar rats.These are the white rats with red eyes that scientists often use in laboratory experiments."They even train their babies to perform their jobs,which saves us a lot of time,"Méndez said.
Colombia has the second-highest rate (比率) of deaths from land mine accidents in the world.Last year,land mines killed 695people-56of whom were children.A criminal (犯罪的) group called the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia,or FARC,as well as other organizations,have placed the mines.FARC are strongly against Colombia's government.The group has placed mines all around its own bases and in many places in the countryside.
In the past,the Colombian government hired peasants and poor farmers to find mines.Many of them died trying to find the well-hidden bombs.
Colombian police official Erick Guzmán hopes the team of rats can come to the rescue."These rats will be a great help,"he said.
45.How do rats help to find land mines?A
A.By their sense of smell.
B.By their light weight.
C.By their special sight.
D.By their excellent hearing.
46.The advantage of rats over dogs in finding bombs is thatD.
A.they are cleverer
B.they run faster
C.they have a better sense of smell
D.they don't make mines explode as easily
47.The underlined word"They"may refer toC.
A.dogs B.scientists
C.Wistar rats D.Méndez and her team
48.What is the text mainly about?B
A.People in Tanzania are suffering from land mines.
B.Specially-trained rats help clear land mines.
C.Dogs are no longer used to find land mines.
D.Land mines have become a great danger to Colombians.
