    If we observe carefully, we van find that most of the flowers in nature are red, orange and yellow. If we have seen a black flower, it’s a chance in million. People have made a census(普查)to colours of more than four thousand kinds of flowers and discovered that only eight of them are black. Why?
    As we know, sunlight is formed by seven different kinds of coloured light. The wave length of each light changes, so the quantity of heat in each light changes, too. Flowers, especially their petals(花瓣), are very delicate(纤弱) and prone(易于) to the harm caused by high temperature. Black flowers can take in all the light waves, which cause the flowers to dry up in a high temperature. So black flowers can rarely survive sunlight. But red flowers, orange flowers and yellow flowers can protect themselves from sunlight by reflecting the red light, orange light and yellow light, each of which has a large quantity of heat.
    That is why red, orange and yellow flowers are very common in nature while black flowers are so rare.

    Technology is the application(应用) of knowledge to production. Thanks to modern technology, we have been able to increase greatly the efficiency of our work force. New machines and new methods have helped cut down time and expense while increasing overall output. This has meant more production and a higher standard of living. For most of us in America, modern technology is thought of as the reason why we can have cars and television sets. However, technology has also increased the amount of food available to us, by means of modern farming machinery and animal breeding techniques, and has extended our life span via(通过) medical technology.
    Will mankind continue to live longer and have a higher quality of life? In large measure the answer depends on technology and our ability to use it widely. If we keep making progress as we have over the past fifty years, the answer is definitely yes. The advancement of technology depends upon research and development, and the latest statistics(统计) show that the United States is continuing to pump billions of dollars annually(每年) into such efforts. So while we are running out of some scarce resources(少的资源) we may well find technological substitutes(代用品)for many of them through our research programs.
    Therefore, in the final analysis the three major factors of production(land, labor and capital) are all influenced by technology. When we need new skills, on techniques in medicine, people will start developing new technology to meet those needs. As equipment proves to be slow or inefficient, new machines will be invented. Technology responds to our needs in helping us maintain our standard of living.

    1. 1.

      What is the best title for the passage?

      1. A.
        The definition of technology

        Modern technology
      3. C.
        The application of technology
      4. D.
        The development of technology
    2. 2.

      Which is the main idea of the passage?

      1. A.
        Modern technology is the key to the improvement of standard of living.
      2. B.
        The three major factors of production (land, labor and capital) are all influenced by technology.
      3. C.
        Technology is the response to our needs.
      4. D.
        The United States is making great efforts to advance its technology.

    A teenager says he convinced the White House that he was Iceland’ s president and managed to schedule a call with George W.Bush , but was found out before he got to talk to the US president.
    “My call was transferred around a few times until I got hold of Bush’s secretary and managed to book a call meeting with Bush the following Monday evening ,” Vifill Atlaso, 16, told Reuters.
    Several Icelandic police turned up at his door two days later---the day of the planned call---and took him in for questioning.
    “They told me the CIA had called the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police and asked if the police could try and find out where I received that phone number from,” said Atlason.
    The teenager said he was unable to recall where he had discovered the telephone number of the White House.
    “I know I’v had it on my phone card for at least four years now and that an Icelandic friend gave it to me, but I don’t remember who,”he said.
    At a White House news conference on Monday, Bush’s spokeswoman Dana Perino said her understanding was that Atlason had called a public line “that anybody can call”, according to a transcript(记录).
    Jon Buartmarz, Chief Superintendent at Iceland’s national police headquarters, said Icelandic police had not spoken to their US counterparts about the matter. He declinced(拒绝) to say how police were tipped off (通告) about Atlason’s call.
    “As far as we’re concerned, there will not be any further investigation, and I don’t know if the American government is taking any action because of this,”he said.

    1. 1.

      According to the passage, when did Atlason call the White House ?

      1. A.

        On Sunday

        On Monday

      3. C.

      4. D.
        CIA
    3. 3.

      2. B.
        From Bush’s secertary
      3. C.
        From an Icelandic friend  
      4. D.
        By calling the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police.
    4. 4.

    Last year, a report by a committee of education experts said that a lot of American students cannot write well. The report noted the concerns of business leaders and teachers. The experts said that more students should have to pass a writing test before they can finish high school. They pointed out that major college entrance tests are changing now to include a writing part.
    Educators know that teaching students to write well is not easy. One problem is the amount of time needed to read through large amounts of work. So some companies have developed computer programs. These can grade student writing much more quickly than a person can. Writing tests can also cost less to carry out by computer than paper-and-pencil. These computer systems are known as e-readers. They use artificial (人工的) intelligence to think in a way like teachers. In the state of Indiana, computer grading of a statewide writing test began with a test of the system itself. For two years, both a computer and humans graded the student writing. Officials say there was almost no difference between the computer grades and those given by the human readers.
    The entrance test commonly used by business schools, the GMAT, already uses e-readers. The GRE and TOEFL tests might start; officials are deciding. The GRE is the Graduate Record Examination. TOEFL is the Test of English as a Foreign Language.
    Systems are also being used to grade writing in college classes. The computers read a few hundred examples of student writing already graded by humans. Then the systems compare new writings against those already examined.
    How do teachers feel all about this? Many say machines can never do the job as well as people can. A computer can find spelling and grammar mistakes. But these teachers say it can never really understand what a writer is trying to say. Critics say a program cannot follow a thought or judge humor or understand a beautifully expressed idea.
    But inventors of the programs say computer grading guarantees that each piece of writing is graded in the same way. They also say the systems are meant to judge knowledge more than creativity.

    1. 1.

      What do the teachers think of the computer system?

      1. A.
        They think highly of the computer systems.
      2. B.
        They think that computers cannot grade writing as well as people.
      3. C.
        They believe that computers can understand a writer’s idea well
      4. D.
        They are glad computers will spare their effort to correct students’ school work.
    2. 2.

      From the first paragraph we can conclude that _________.

      1. A.
        American students’ writing ability is being improved
      2. B.
        American students’ writing ability is not satisfactory
      3. C.
        business leaders and teachers are not worried about students’ writing
      4. D.
        all college entrance tests will include a writing part
    3. 3.

      Which of the following is NOT the advantage of e-readers?

      1. A.
        Saving much of teachers’ time.                     
      2. B.
        Saving a lot of money.
      3. C.

    We know the westerners like to plan for their time carefully in order to do all the things that are important to them. So if your American or English friend asks you to dinner, he usually invites you a week ahead. But if you really have no time and can’t go to the dinner, you can ring him to say sorry. The dinner is usually served at home, sometimes at a restaurant. You should get there on time, and don’t forget to put on your fine clothes. It is also a good idea to take some little presents to your friend, such as flowers, chocolates and so on. When you are at dinner, you should also observe (遵守) some other customs. Here I’ll give you some dos and don’ts about them in the following:
    ●Don’t leave bones on the table or the floor. (You should put them on your plate with fingers.)
    ●Don’t use your bowl to drink soup, but use your spoon to help you instead.
    ●Don’t talk with much food in your mouth.
    ●Don’t ask others to have more wine. (This is quite different from that in China.)
    ●After dinner, use your napkin(餐巾) to clean your mouth and hands.
    ●Make sure small pieces of food are not left on your face.
    Then after dinner, you can stay there a little time. And your friend will be pleased if you leave in half an hour or so. Next day, you had better ring him up to thank him for the good dinner.

    Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
    Who buy the presents? How much should we spend? Questions about money like these 1 during the holidays, and they can turn this wonderful season into the most 2 time of the year.
    The 3 cause of holiday stress is money issues, according to a recent poll by the American Psychological Association (APA). The survey found that 61 percent of Americans 4 lack of money as the top cause of family tensions, holiday blues and depression.
    “People believe that they can go out and buy gifts because it’s the holidays, 5they can’t afford to do so,” says Dorothy Cantor, a noted psychologist and former APA president. “Not only is it stressful to feel that you have to buy everyone an expensive gift, but you will also be stressed for the rest of the year trying to pay your 6. You can show love and caring by giving something that you know is meaningful and 7 that doesn’t have to cost a lot.”
    While managing money issues during the holiday season can be a 8, financial experts agree that you can 9 pressure by planning ahead, exhibiting patience and managing expectations to make the holiday season enjoyable and worry-free.
    For starters, make an agreement with family members to discuss holiday spending and finances before you make any 10. The goal here is to learn one another’s thoughts and feelings about priorities and wishes. Be realistic, decide together on a budget and only use cash, rather than using credit cards. Avoid getting 11 unreasonable expectations. It makes no 12 to buy gifts you can not afford and put additional financial and emotional stress on yourself and your family that will cause problems long after the holidays are over.
    Other ways to 13 the burden of money-related holiday blues include an understanding that everyone faces money problems at one time or another. It’s important to keep your 14 situation in perspective, to learn from experience and then to proceed with your life.
    And lastly, make focusing on financial solutions a part of your New Year’s resolution. It’s the perfect time to take a 15 approach by doing some soul-searching, forgiving yourself, letting go of the past and dealing with your financial problems in a businesslike manner each day.
