回答题

Text l

It" s a time when school, homework, active social lives and part-time jobs keep teenagers (少年 ) busy from early in the morning until late at night. They are likely to try to make up for a lack of sleep by "sleeping in" on the weekends. Unfortunately, this causes irregular sleep and actually makes the problem worse.

Most teenagers are not able to fall asleep until late at night. Since many teens aren"t sleepy until around 11 p.m., but need to be at school by 7: 30 or 8: 00 A.m., they cannot get enough sleep. During puberty(青春期), the biological clock in the brain naturally re-sets to a later time, and this causes teens to fall asleep later. Then, when it" s time to get up, a teen" s body clock is likely to still be producing the night-time hormones(荷尔蒙). This makes it hard for them to feel active and energetic in the morning.

A growing body of research suggests that starting high school later improves attendance, achievements and grades. A few years ago in an important study, test scores on the SAT college entrance exams in Edina, Minnesota jumped more than 100 points on average, when the morning school bell rang an hour later. Unfortunately, most schools are not set up to start later and fail to satisfy teen"s sleep needs.

What effect does "sleeping in" on the weekends have on teenagers? 查看材料

A.Improving their health.

B.Weakening their energy.

C.Disturbing their biological clock.

D.Making up for their hormone loss.

根据下面内容,回答题:

A

This classic cross-culture book provides reading passages, culture notes, and discussion topics which focus on values, behaviours, attitudes and communication styles. It features a chapter on cultural diversity in the U. S. , an explanation of mainstream U. S. values with examples which reveal some of the more hidden aspects of culture, examples of cross-cultural differences in a wide variety of cultures, and extensive readings and exercises.

B

As a multistand course——organized according to functions, discussion techniques and communication concepts——this text develops the speaking skills of business professionals or business students. It is easily adaptable to differing class sizes, student needs and interests. A special feature of the course is its carefully staged discussion activities which structure and facilitate group partici- pation.

C

This series is intended for students now ready to approach English literature. Each book deals with both the literary and the language aspects of their texts. Some exercises focus on a personal response, others on discussing literary qualities such as style, character, imagery and ideas. Other exercises concentrate on the development of language awareness in terms of grammar, vocabulary and different styles of writing.

D

Authentic texts covering a wide range of topics provide a stimulating basis for an approach of skills and strategies to academic reading. Techniques of skimming and scanning, identifying main ideas, understanding text organization and guessing unknown vocabulary provide the basis for each unit. These are followed by more advanced strategies, such as analyzing a writer"s use of time, evaluating a writer"s attitude and assessing the degree of certainty in arguments. Each unit ends with discussion topics which lead to a writing task based on the reading texts.

It aims to train the students to become sensitive to different styles of writing. 查看材料

回答题

Text 3

We feel it is important to start reading to your child right from the start——the younger the better! With little ones (children from birth to 4 ) it is very important to read and reread books. Starting early makes the job of the listener (for you will be teaching your child how to listen) easier, as it helps to develop an early love of the written and spoken word.

We believe that you should read aloud to your child at least once every day. Set a special reading time during the day or evening when you can settle down and enjoy a book, without interruption. For most families, reading aloud at bedtime is a common practice.

We understand that it can be quite discouraging to read to a child who takes no interest. Take heart! Learning to listen takes experience. The more you read, the more your child will learn to sit for a story. Children have a natural development of responses(反应) to your reading. By the time your child reaches 6-7 months, s/he is attracted by the book in your hand, and would like to test it out by using it as a chew(咀嚼) toy. This is natural! By one year, your child is learning to listen and talk about the pages, often shouting out things s/he recognizes. Encourage this! And at the onset(起始) of walking, you have your biggest challenge yet. Your child is always on the go. You need to set your reading time for a time in the day when your child is preparing to settle down. This means bedtime. Remember, it is your right anD.duty to teach your child about the power of, books. Of course, it doesn"t happen overnight, but the returns are great!

Who does "the listener" in the first paragraph refer to? 查看材料

A.The writer.

B.The child.

C.The parent.

D.The teacher.

请根据短文的内容,回答题。

The Robot Man

According to Hans Moravec, universal robots will take over all the physical activities that we engage in, leaving us with little housework to do. Moravec sees four generations on the road to true universal robots. The first generation will be here by 2010 and will consist of free-ranging robots that can navigate by building an internal mental map of their surroundings. In new situations they&39;ll be able to adapt, unlike today&39;s mobile industrial robots. These robots will have the computing power, to cope with simple speech and text recognition, and will be used for tasks such as domestic cleaning.<br>

The second generation will arrive around 2020 and will be distinguished by the ability to learn.<br>

Second generation robots are programed with sets of primitive tasks and with feedback that provide"pleasure" and "pain" stimuli. For example, a collision provokes a negative response, a completed task would be positive.<br>

Move forward another ten years to 2030 and you get to generation three. This robot can build internal simulations of the word around it. Before beginning a task, it can imagine what will happen in order to predict problems. If it has a free moment, it can replay past experiences and try variations in order to fred a better way of doing things next time. It could even observe a person or another robot performing a task and learn by imitation. For the fast time, we have here a robot that can think.<br>

By the time we get to generation four in 2040, Moravec predicts that robots will be able. to match human reasoning and behaviour, generalise abstract ideas from specific experience, and conversely,compile detailed plans of action from general commands such as "earn a living" or "make more robots".<br>

(宣告 ) runs something like this. As robots start to become useful in<br>

The Moravec manifesto generation one, they&39;ll begin to take on many tasks in industry. Driven by the availability of this cheap and tireless labour force, the economy will boom and the demand for robots will grow so rapidly that they will soon become low-cost commodity items, that they&39;ll move into the home,where the domestic robot will relieve us of lots of housework.<br>

With increasing automation in generations two and three, the length of the average working day will plummet, eventually to near zero. Most people will be unemployed as robots take over not just primary industry, but the service economy too. Moravec sees the fourth generation as an opportunity to surpass (超越) our human limitations.<br>

These future machines will be our "mind children". Like biological children of previous generations, they will embody humanity&39;s best hope for a long-term future.

What will be the distinctive feature of the second generation robots? 查看材料

A.They will be able to learn by themselves

B.They will be able to recognize speeches and texts

C.They will be able to predict problems

D.They will be able to match human reasoning and behavior

请根据短文的内容,回答题。

Computer Mouse

The basic computer mouse is an amazingly clever invention with a relatively simple design that allows us to point at things on the computer and it is very productive. Think of all the things you can do with a mouse like selecting text for copying and pasting, drawing, and even scrolling on the page with the newer mice with the wheel. Most of us use the computer mouse daily without stopping to think how it works until it gets dirty and we have to learn how to clean it. We learn to point at things before we learn to speak, so the mouse is a very natural pointing device. Other computer pointing devices include light pens, graphics tablets and touch screens, but the mouse is still our workhorse.<br>

The computer mouse was invented in 1964 by Douglas Engle hart of Stanford University. As computer screens became more popular and arrow keys were used to move around a body of text, it became clear that a pointing device that allowed easier motion through the text and even selection of text would be very useful. The introduction of the mouse, with the Apple Lisa computer in 1983,really started the computer public on the road to relying on the mouse for routine computer tasks.<br>

How does the mouse work? We have to start at the bottom, so think upside down for now. It all starts with the mouse ball. As the mouse ball in the bottom of the mouse rolls over the mouse pad, it presses against and turns two shafts. The shafts are connected to wheels with several small holes in them. The wheels have a pair of small electronic light-emitting devices called light-emitting diodes (LED) mounted on either side. One LED sends a light beam to the LED on the other side. As the wheels spin and a hole rotates by, the light beam gets through to the LED on the other side. But a moment later the light beam is blocked until the next hole is in place. The LED detects a changing pattern of light, converts the pattern into an electronic signal, and sends the signal to the computer through wires in a cable that goes out of the mouse body. This cable is the tail that helps give the mouse its name. The computer interprets the signal to tell it where to position the cursor on the computer screen.<br>

So far we have only discussed the basic computer mouse that most of you probably have or have used. One problem with this design is that the mouse gets dirty as the ball rolls over the surface and picks up dirt. Eventually you have to clean your mouse. The newer optical mice avoid this problem by having no moving parts.

Most computer users want to know how the computer mouse works. 查看材料
