In the not so distant past of the 1950s, people who wanted to research an idea, a product, or anything else, had to go to a library where they could look up information in books. Not all people had the same access to the books, and the information they contained. In America, if your skin was black, you could not use the same library that a person with white skin used. If a black skinned person was allowed access to a library, it most likely was stocked with outdated books that white skinned people had discarded.
In the digital society we live in today, the color of your skin does not determine the access you have to information. Technology has brought to us the powerful tools like the Internet where we can find information on almost every subject.
Access to the Internet has allowed us to research the things we are planning to purchase. We are capable of comparing prices on things like insurance, appliances, entertainment, clothing, and all other things. We also now have the ability to purchase items online without ever leaving our homes. We have been freed from the restrictions of store hours, and regional sales. A person in America can purchase a product from a person in Germany, without leaving home.
Because of the digital society we live in our children can learn about anything they are interested in. When they ask you what the dinosaurs ate, you can look it up, and tell them the answer. Because of this people will be smarter in the future, and technology will only improve.

A.we have special right to do anything |
B.it is wrong to make use of the privilege |
C.knowledge is important in the digital society |
D.we should seize the chances the modern society offers |

B.people in modern society are mostly wealthy |
C.we would like to stay at home every day |
D.we can find anything we like in the world |

The level of brain activity, by ______ blood flow, was then measured by Brain Scanners. The experiment found that although there was no difference in performance, and the tasks were very easy, the levels of activity in the subjects’ brain were ______. For the Americans, areas ______ to attention were more favorable to them, when they worked on the task they tended to find more difficult --- estimating the line’s size relative to the square. The findings are a ______ of more than ten years of previous experimental research into East-West differences.

All our dreams have something to do with our feelings, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. If a person is hungry , or tired or cold , his dreams may include a feeling of this kind .If the covers on your body , such as a quilt or a blanket have slipped off your bed , you may dream that you are sleeping on the ice and snow. The material for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the experience you have today.
So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has effect on you while you are sleeping (feeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc.) and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and the interests you have now.This is why children are likely to dream of fairies, older children of school examinations, hungry people of food, home-sick soldiers of their families and prisoners of freedom.
To show you how this is happening while you are asleep and how your needs and wishes can all be joined together in a dream , here is the story of the experiment.A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbed cotton.He would dream he was in hospital and his charming girlfriend was visiting him , sitting on the bed and feeling gently his hands!
There are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream, what we dream and what those dreams mean.Their explanations of dreams , though a bit reasonable, is not accepted by everyone but it offers an interesting approach to the problem.They believe that dreams are mostly expressions of wishes that do not come true.In other words, dreams are a way of having your wishes carried out.
小题1:From the passage we know that our dreams ___________.
A.are imagination of our daily life |
B.are man’s curious look into the future |
C.have nothing to do with our feelings |
D.are to some degree connected with our feelings |
A.they are interested in exams |
B.they are often worried about their studies |
C.they hope for a better life |
D.they show much interest in their studies |
A.is considered interesting , but unreasonable |
B.gives a good answer to the question why we dream |
C.has some value , though not fully convincing |
D.has been proved by the findings of their studies |
A.Why People Dream ? | B.New Findings about Dreams |
C.Dream Makes Hopes | D.What Dreams Mean ? |
Skyscrapers are also lavish consumers of electric power and water. In just one recent year, the addition of 17 million square feet of skyscraper office space in New York City itself has already raised the top daily demand for electricity by 120, 000 kw — enough to supply the entire city of Albany in New York area for a single day.
Glass—walled skyscrapers can also be especially wasteful. The heat loss ,or gain, through a wall of half 一 inch plate glass is more than ten times that through a typical ordinary wall filled with bricks or board. In order to decrease the pressure on heating and air — conditioning equipment, builders of skyscrapers have begun to use double—layered glass ,and reflective glasses coated with silver or gold mirror films that could reduce glare (强光)as well as heat gain. However, mirror — walled skyscrapers may raise the temperature of the surrounding air and affect neighboring buildings as well.
Skyscrapers put a severe pressure on a city"s sanitation (卫生)facilities, too. If fully occupied, the towers just within the central area of New York would alone produce 2. 25 million gallons of waste water each year^—as much as the city size of Stanford, Connecticut, which has a population of more than 109,000.
小题1:The underlined phrase“ lavish consumers ”in the 2nd paragraph probably means ____
A.trash producers | B.great spenders | C.pressure makers | D.poor customers |
A.show how skyscrapers manage to lessen their pressure |
B.explain why skyscrapers can control its air conditions |
C.describe further how wasteful skyscrapers could be |
D.present the stability of skyscrapers in modern buildings |
A.central New York skyscrapers are a large waste water producer |
B.the central area of New York is as large as the city of Stanford |
C.more than 109,000 people live in the skyscrapers in New York |
D.New York produces 2. 25 million gallons of waste water each year |
A.positive | B.doubtful | C.grateful | D.negative |
Watercress sandwiches were traditionally a breakfast item in nineteenth-century Europe. The most basic type of watercress sandwich has two pieces of white bread with a mixture of butter and watercress greens . A nickname(绰号)for the vegetable, in fact, was “poor man’s bread”, because watercress was often eaten on its own for breakfast by families that could not afford the bread to go with it.
Watercress is a member of the mustard(芥菜) family. It contains vitamins C(66mg per 100g), K and A, and is also a valuable source of minerals such as iron, potassium, copper and calcium. The mustard oils in its silky leaves and stems(茎)contain an ingredient known as PEITC. Recent research has proved that PEITC can prevent the growth of cancer cells and, in some cases, actually destroy them.
The best watercress has silky green leaves without any marks and has undamaged stems, The older the plant, the darker are its leaves and the thicker its stems. This means a higher concentration of oils and vitamins. Young watercress, on the other hand, may be harvested after only twenty-eight days growth and has a milder taste. It is best to eat watercress fresh and raw , to keep more of its valuable nutrients, but it can be lightly cooked and used as an alternative to spinach—another dark green vegetable—in various recipes. From soups to salads, watercress is now considered around the world as a natural and healthy super food.
小题1:From paragraph 1, we can learn that________.
A.watercress is usually grown in wet areas |
B.the ancient Greeks only used watercress for medicine |
C.watercress is the most ancient vegetable known to man |
D.the Romans rubbed watercress on their heads to cure baldness |
A.butter | B.watercress | C.breakfast | D.bread |
A.It belongs to the same family as spinach.
B.It contains mustard oils only in leaves.
C.It can help guard against cancer.
D.It is rich in vitamins C and B.
小题4:Compared with older watercress, young watercress .
A.has lighter green leaves |
B.contains more minerals |
C.is better for medical use |
D.is more suitable for eating raw |
A.The history of watercress | B.watrcress, a medicinal plant |
C.Watercress, the amazing food | D.New findings about watercress |
Many families have recently bought a new TV set, and the idea of changing it just to take advantage of a technology in its infancy(初期)will put many people off the idea. Then there are the additional costs that come along with a 3Dset from needing to get a Blu-ray player that can process the signal to purchasing enough glasses for the entire family to be able to watch a program at the same time.
Another issue is that the glasses are expensive as well as complicated, and have also been known to cause headaches, none of which makes for a pleasant experience.
While manufacturers are working towards glasses-free technology, it just isn’t here yet, and it could be several years before it is commercially successful. That is one of main things that will keep 3D completely in the “fashion” zone for the time being . If the television manufacturers are willing to hold onto the idea until glasses-free choices are available—and they can reach a higher installed(安装)user base—this might very well catch on. Everyone needs to remember, however, that these are businesses, and they are in it to make money. If 3D isn’t selling at the rate they are comfortable with, then they will dump it and move on to the next thing.
Many homes are filled with products that didn’t catch on rapidly and companies ended up leaving them with no support. Do you have an HD DVD player? Remember how the MiniDisc was supposed to replace the CD? For now, it’s easy to see how 3D televisions could join this list of technologies.
There is one upside to the 3D television problem: They have beautiful 2D images. Even if 3D goes away, you still have a great –looking screen and beautiful images. If you are in the market for a new TV and you can afford to drop the couple extra hundred dollars to buy one, you can view it as guaranteeing your purchase in case the technology proves to be effective.
小题1:We know from the text that 3D TV .
A.is easy to operate |
B.has been fully developed |
C.has many products attached to it |
D.has already replaced normal TV sets |
A.3D is fashionable and expensive. |
B.It’s hard for 3D to be commercially successful. |
C.Television manufacturers’ only purpose is to make money. |
D.It’s impossible to create glasses-free technology at the moment. |
A.they are not necessary |
B.they are bound to be replaced |
C.3D TV might not be here to stay |
D.3D technology needs improving |
A.solution | B.exception | C.character | D.benefit |
A.He is critical of it.
B. He thinks highly of it.
C.It is more effective than expected.
D. It has more beautiful images than 2D.
