Some people say that today, reading is not as important as it was. These days we have photographs,
films, radio and television. Why read a description of something when you can look at a photograph? Why read a newspaper when the latest news is brought to us every hour on radio and TV?
Photography was certainly a wonderful invention. Photographs can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen. An encyclopedia (百科全书) , for example, is always better when
it has good illustrations. But we also need words to explain the photographs and drawings. A photograph
of an elephant may give us a very good idea of what an elephant looks like, but it tells us nothing about the different sorts of elephants there are and where they are found, their exact size and weight, how they can
be useful to man and so on.
In the same way, a good film has action, movement, color, and maybe music. These are things we do
not find on the printed page. But reading a novel has certain advantages over watching even an excellent
feature film. Reading a novel requires imagination. Each of us imagines a story differently.
Watching news on television can certainly be exciting.But we need newspapers as well.Some important news stories happen when there are no cameras around. More importantly, a newspaper does not just
report the news. It explains why something has been happening. It also contains interesting articles on
different subjects. Newspapers are an important part of our lives, if we want to understand what is going
on in the places we live as well as in other parts of the world.
Reading is very important for information and pleasure. We need to be good readers to enjoy a full life as human beings. Reading is a skill and like other skills, it needs practice. The more we read, the better
readers we become. And the better readers we become, the more we enjoy reading! The secret is to get
the reading habit. Read at least a little every day.
A. Enough information about people and places.
B. No information about things.
C. Some information about things but not enough.
D. The wrong information about things.
2. What does the author think newspapers can give us?
A. More information than television.
B. Less information than television.
C. More news from other countries.
D. Less information about important events than TV.
3. What does the "illustrations" mean?
A. Inventions.
B. Pictures
C. Words.
D. Ideas
4. What are the advantages of novel over a feature film?
A. There are more interesting subjects in novels.
B. We do not hear any music in a novel.
C. Novels always explain what is happening.
D. Novels make us use our imagination.
5. What does the author think about reading?
A. It is a wonderful invention.
B. It is an important part of our lives.

and everyone has his chance of survival" , have been shocking to us.
Things begin in 2009,as an Indian scientist has made a strange discovery:It seems that there are serious storms on the surface of the sun, which are having a great effect on earth. By 2010 the US President calls

wstone National Park.
Jackson and the kids arrive at Yellowstone to find that some parts of the park have been taken over for reasons they don"t know.
At the same time world leaders are planning to choose excellent people from all over the earth, and let
them get out of the cataclysm (灾难) by special built ships. Everyone else will be left to death.

two or three doors. Such refrigerators can not only keep the food cold and fresh, but also make ice and
freeze the food. However, small ones usually have one door and can only keep things cold and fresh.
There are also refrigerators that are friendly to the environment. In the 1970s, the world was in energy
crisis (危机). Refrigerators use too much energy. So people began to think of ways to improve it. At last
a kind of new refrigerators was made. They use very little energy, but they"re too expensive. They cost
twice or three times more than the ones that we use at home. However, people believe they will be
cheaper and cheaper. As a result, they will be more and more popular.
In the future, there will be refrigerators that can do more than we can imagine. They are called smart
refrigerators (智能冰箱). They have tiny computers inside, with their screens on the door. They can
show us what food is inside. They can also tell us what food to buy. They can even let. us know what
food to eat when we input the necessary health information. That more surprising thing is that they can do
shopping for us when they are connected (连接) to the supermarket.
( ) 2. Refrigerators that use little energy are more expensive.
( ) 3. Environment friendly refrigerators. will be popular some day.
( ) 4. Refrigerators that keep the food fresh are smart refrigerators.
( ) 5 .We can have a "talk" with smart refrigerators.
阅读下文，从各小题所给的四个选项中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。
There have been many great inventions or things that changed the way we live. The first great invention
was the one that is still very important today-the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to
travel long distance.
For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that as much effect as the wheel. Then in the
early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn"t
have to explore much any more. They began to work instead to make life better.
In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them there were the
camera, the light and the radio. These all play a big part in our daily life today.
The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909, movies with sound
in 1926, the computer in i928,jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first
made. Nylon came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wore.
The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over diseases. They worked
very well. They made people healthier and allowed them to live longer. By the 1960s most people could
expect to live to be at least 60.
By this time most people in developed countries had a very good Life. Of course new inventions
continued to be made. But man now had a desire (渴望) to explore again. The earth was known to man
but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then
United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their own
steps into space.
In 1969 man took his biggest step away from earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is
certainly just a beginning, though. New inventions will some day allow us to do things we have never yet
dreamed of.
