举一反三

A mobile phone is no longer just a phone -- it is also a music player, video camera and personal organizer. And mobile phones with television programming are just around the corner. But the more functions cell phone manufacturers add, the greater the amount of power the phones use and the less practical running them on lithium (锂) batteries becomes -- so the race to find a viable alternative is on.
Two of the world"s biggest electronics makers, Hitachi and Toshiba, are currently competing against each other to come up with an alternative, most likely to be micro fuel cells. The task has been set by Japan"s second largest mobile phone provider, KDDI, which wants its customers to soon be able to use special television programming on their handsets, and has asked the two electronics companies to come up with a better power source. Hitomi Murakami, of KDDI, says battery-operated mobile phones cannot keep up with the new applications. "We"re looking at various ways to expand content and services that we can provide to the people. And we don"t want to have battery issues delaying us from doing that," he says.
Hitachi"s Atsushi Morihara says it is a critical race for both of the companies as the resulting product will have a major impact on the mobile market in the future. "We are in competition and it"s up to both of us to come up with a good product. A product that will satisfy KDDI"s needs. I think I can go as far to say that the winner will take all."
Miniaturized direct methanol (甲醇) fuel cells are different batteries in that they create power instead of simply storing it. That power is made by new technology utilizing cheap methanol. If all gees to plan, come 2007, Japanese phone users will not use an electric charger to power their mobiles, they will instead carry a small bottle of methanol and with just a few squirts, they will have power for their phones. But the method has its downsides, including how passengers will be able to take small mounts of flammable methanol on airliners. Fumio Ueno of Toshiba says that once developed, the uses of miniaturized direct methanol fuel cells have endless possibilities.
小题1:The lithium batteries are becoming improper for the cell phone because ______.
A.there is a television in the phoneB.it is inconvenient to use
C.it can"t provide enough powerD.people have found substitutes
小题2:According to the passage, Toshiba ______.
A.is in critical competition with KDDI
B.will probably beat its rival
C.attaches great importance to methanol fuel
D.is one of the largest battery provider
小题3:Which of the following is NOT the characteristic of methanol fuel?
A.Easy to catch fire.B.Portable.
C.Inexpensive.D.Available everywhere.
小题4:The best title for the passage is ______.
A.Search for better phone power.
B.Development of cell phone battery.
C.Competition between two electronic firms.
D.Advantage and disadvantage of methanol fuel.

(A)根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Competition is great for kids, but it does have its dark side. 71 When this happens it takes the fun out of the activities they participate in. Kids need to keep a healthy attitude toward competitive activities and as parents it is our responsibility to let them know that it"s not all about winning. 72
Kids under the age of ten usually lose interest if an activity is too competitive. A good idea for kids in this age group is to allow them to participate in competitive activities but without keeping score. Emphasize that the importance of the activity I to make new friends, have fun and learn about sportsmanship. 73
When kids enter middle school, competitive activities take on new meaning. Kids like to be recognized for their efforts and winning places them in the spotlight. 74. The unfortunate thing is that kids who lose constantly get discouraged and quit participating. They feel they can"t accomplish their goals or meet the expectations of teachers and parents. This can lead to low self-esteem and discourage kids from trying their best. It"s best to keep them participating in competitive activities even if they only do so in the backyard with a group of their friends.
As a parent, never put the emphasis on winning. 75. Give kids praise for doing their best whether they win or lose. This sends a positive message about putting forth their best effort.
A.Winning becomes more appealing.
B.Encourage young kids to win when he participates in a competition.
C.Getting angry or depressed when he loses.
D.The importance of participating in competitive activities is to have fun.
E.Some children become over-competitive and focus only on recognition and winning.
F.Rather, encourage kids to always give their best effort.
G.Encourage young kids to give their best effort and gain self-confidence.

I am always eager to do experiments, especially chemistry ones. It"s   21  to work with test tubes and beakers , even though sometimes my efforts end in failure. Experiments were fun for me   22  a recent accident.
The accident happened when I was heating a big test tube with an alcohol burner , chatting to my partner. All of a sudden, the tube cracked. Even though I jumped from my seat when I heard the crack, the hair on my forehead was burnt as I was leaning too close to the test tube.
    23  I had no time to be sad about my hair: the liquid in the test tube poured onto the table and caught fire. I"d never  24  anything so bad! My mind went blank for a moment. Then I quickly covered the fire with a damp cloth to put it out.
The teacher told me that the test tube broke in half at the bottom because we didn"t dry it properly before 25  it.
We calmed down and did the experiment, again. But our hearts were still  26  rapidly even after we walked out of the lab.
But my bad luck didn"t end there! Since all our   27  was focused on the flames while we were in the lab, I didn"t see the liquid falling onto my trousers.
During the following class, I felt a pain in my leg. Soon it became more and m6re painful and I touched the area with my fingers,   28  to make things better. But to my great   29  , the material of my trousers turned into powder! "Vitriol ! ! ! The terrible word came into my mind. I rushed out right away to wash and examine my poor skin.   30  , it was not a serious injury.
After changing my trousers I thought it"s very important to have a serious attitude in chemistry class. Doing scientific experiments as a learner is no laughing matter.

The surprising experiment I am about to describe proves that air is all around you and that it presses down upon you. Air pressure is a powerful force. When you swim underwater, you can feel water pushing down on your body. The air all around you does the same. However, your body is so used to it that you do not notice this. The pressure is caused by a layer of air called the atmosphere. This layer surrounds the Earth, extending to about five kilometers above the Earth’s surface.
The following experiment is an easy one that you can do at home. But make sure that you are supervised, because you will need to use matches. Now for the experiment!
What you need
•A hard-boiled egg without the shell
•A bottle with a neck slightly smaller than the egg
•A piece of paper
•A match
Method
1) Check that the egg will sit firmly on the neck of the bottle.
2) Tear the paper into strips and put the strips into the bottle.
3) Light the paper by dropping a burning match into the bottle.
4) Quickly sit the egg on the neck of the bottle.
Result
Astonishingly, the egg will be sucked into the bottle. Your friends will be amazed when you show them the experiment. But be careful when you handle matches.
Why it happened
As the paper burns, it needs oxygen and uses up the oxygen (air) in the bottle. The egg acts as a seal in the neck of the bottle, so no more air can get inside. This reduces the air pressure inside the bottle. The air pressure must equalize, so more air from outside must enter the bottle. The outside air pressure against the egg and then the egg is pushed into the bottle! This proves that air is all around and that it is pressing down on it.
小题1:Why is there the need to take care when you are doing the experiment?
A.The bottle could break.
B.You need to light the paper with a match.
C.The egg needs to be shelled.
D.The egg has to be perfectly placed on the neck of the bottle.
小题2:In the experiment, the burning inside the bottle can___.
A.equalize the air pressure inside and outside
B.make a seal in the neck of the bottle
C.finish up the oxygen inside the bottle
D.produce more oxygen inside the bottle
小题3:How did the egg put into the bottle?
A.The oxygen inside the bottle sucked the egg in.
B.It became saft without the shell.
C.The neck of the bottle was wide enough.
D.The outside air pressure forced it into the bottle.
小题4:The experiment is carried cut to prove ______.
A.water pushes on your body when you swim underwater.
B.the earth is surrounded by a layer of air called the atmosphere.
C.the pressure of air around us has a powerful force.
D.the air pressure is not equalized around us.

New archaeological discovers suggest that trade between Europe and Asia along the Silk
Road probably began in some form many countries earlier than once thought. The findings, coupled with a widening range of scientific and historical research, could add a fascinating new
page to the epic of the Silk Road.
The latest and most surprising discovery is pieces of silk found in the hair of an Egyptian mummy from about 1000 BC, long before regular traffic on the Silk Road and at least one thousand years before silk was previously thought to be used in Egypt. Other research may extend human activity along this route back even further, perhaps a million years to the migration of human ancestors into eastern Asia.
The official origin of East-West commerce along the road is usually placed in the late 2nd century BC when an agent of the Chinese Emperor Wu-di returned from a dangerous secret mission(使命)across the desert into the remote high country of Central Asia. The agent, Zhang Qian, travelled as far as Afghanistan and brought back knowledge of even more distant lands such as Persia, Syria and a place known as Lijien, perhaps Rome. Historians have called this one of the most important journeys in ancient times. His journey opened the way for what have been thought to be the first indirect contacts between the ancient world’s two superpowers, China and Rome. Chinese silk, first traded to central Asian tribes for war horses and to the Parthians of old Persia in exchange for acrobats and ostrich eggs, was soon finding its way through a network of merchants to the luxury markets of Rome.
But the new discoveries show that Chinese silk was apparently present in the West long before the Han emperor started organized trade over the Silk Road. The research could change thinking about the early history of world trade and provide insights into the mystery of just how and when Europe and the Mediterranean lands first became aware of the glorious culture at the other end of Eurasia.
小题1:The word “coupled” in the first paragraph could best be replaced by ______.
A.producedB.contributedC.doubledD.combined
小题2:The silk thread found in the hair of an Egyptian mummy suggests that ______.
A.Egyptians had probably travelled to China to buy silk
B.trade along the Silk Road began earlier than once thought
C.historical research often achieves fascinating results
D.new light can now be thrown on ancient trading practices
小题3: Until recently most historians believed that trade along the Silk Road _______.
A.originated in the 2nd century BC
B.extended human migration into eastern Asia
C.began a million years ago
D.primarily benefited the Egyptians
小题4:Historians have always considered Zhang Qian’s mission important because they believe ______.
A.be brought back knowledge of Rome to the emperor B.be discovered the Silk Road
C.be helped establish East-West trade D.be travelled as far as Afghanistan
