plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away straight up. A decade ago, adopting the infrared
(红外线) scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley
came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The
goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide (***虫剂) spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field,
which invariably includes plants that don"t have pest (害虫) problems.
Even better, Paley"s Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became
visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat sent
out by crops. The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where plants were running "fevers".
Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide that they otherwise would.
The bad news is that Paley"s company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the
new technology and long-term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on
produce, and refinements (改进) ininfrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture
experts have no doubt the technology works."This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land
in the United States," says George Oerther of Texas A& M, who recently retired from the Department of
Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley
finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.

the world"s tiniest fish. The little creature was found recently in an Indonesian swamp (沼泽).
For now, the fish is known as Paedocypris progenetica. It has a transparent, or see-through, body. Its head
doesn"t have a skeleton (骨架), leaving its brain vulnerable (脆弱的) to its surroundings. The fish, which is
female (雌性的), can grow to be only 7.9 millimeters or (0.31 inches) long, about the size of a large mosquito
(蚊子).
Maurice Kottelat, a fish expert from Sweden, led the team of researchers that made the discovery. Kottelat
and his team reported their discovery in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, a British scientific journal.
"You don"t wake up in the morning and think today we will find the smallest fish in the world," said Kottelat
in an interview. He and his team were most excited by the possibility of having discovered the world"s smallest
vertebrate. "What"s important is finding a complete backbone in a body so small," said Kottelat. All fish, reptiles
(爬行动物), birds, and mammals (including humans) are vertebrates.
It wasn"t long after Kottelat"s announcement that another researcher challenged the claim with a discovery
of his own. Fish expert Ted Pietsch, a researcher at the University of Washington, says that he has discovered
a fish that is smaller than Kottelat"s discovery.
According to Pietsch, the male Photocorynus spiniceps is a tiny ocean fish measuring only about a quarter
inch. That would actually make Pietsch"s fish the world"s smallest vertebrate. Kottelat"s would come in at a
close second. When Pietsch got in touch with Kottelat to mention the fish, four of which he keeps in his office-
Kottelat did not argue. He kindly gave the title of "world"s smallest vertebrate" over to Pietsch"s unique fish.
"So our little fish is only the smallest freshwater vertebrate," Kottelat wrote. "Now I wait until the next
smallest fish is discovered."
B. 0.06 inches
C. 0.1 inches
D. 0.31 inches
B. a fish in fresh water
C. an animal that can swim
D. an animal with a backbone
B. Pietsch"s record of discovery of the world"s smallest fish was soon broken by others.
C. Kettlelat didn"t admit that Pietsch"s fish was even smaller than his.
D. All fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds and humans share the same ancestor.
B. What"s the world"s smallest fish indeed?
C. What is the smallest freshwater vertebrate?
D. What size is Pietsch"s fish?

writers. Next term he will become a senior student. He thinks it"s time that he read more of their works and
learned to write about them.
( )2. Joseph is good at the language arts, and in his spare time he likes to write short stories. It is his wish
that his stories would be printed in local newspapers. So he is thinking of taking a course to develop his writing
skills such as wording and paragraph organization.
( )3. A lively and caring girl, Anna takes an active part in social activities. She is trying to write reports for
newspapers about what she sees and hears. But few of them are accepted because of poor organization of
information. She feels the need to improve her writing and communication skills next term.
( )4. Jan traveled worldwide with his parents when he was very young. Under their influence, he becomes
greatly interested in stories of travel and adventure. He hopes to write his own stories in the future. So next
term, he will choose a course to study the best writing of this type.
( )5. Susan comes from China. As a junior back home, she wrote quite a lot of short stories, some of which
were published in newspapers. Her parents hoped she read some classics by Asian and Western writers. She
thinks it helpful in her writing. So she is going to take a course of this kind next term.
first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to
hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of
worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young
child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other
hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural
enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.
Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in
money matters. Others are severe (严格的) over time of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In
general, the controls represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child"s
own happiness.
As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency (一致性) is very important
in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also,
parents should realize that "example is better than precept". If they are not sincere and do not practice what they
preach (说教), their children may grow confused when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and
realize they have been to some extent fooled.
A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents" principles (原则) and their morals can be
a dangerous disappointment.
B. is universal among parents
C. sets up dangerous states of worry in the child
D. will make the child lose interest in learning new things
B. should expect a lot of the children
C. should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own.
D. should create as many learning opportunities as possible
B. parental controls reflect only the values of the community
C. parental restrictions vary, and are not always for the benefit of the children alone
D. it"s parents" and society"s duty to control the children
B. punishment
C. behavior
D. instruction
B. be aware of the huge difference between adults and children
C. forbid their children to do anything
D. always ensure the security of their children
lost a great deal of blood in the accident. However, special care must be taken in selecting new blood for you.
If the blood is too different from your own, the transfusion could kill you.
There are four basic types of blood; A, B, AB, and O. A simple test can make sure of a person"s blood type.
Everybody is born with one of these four types of blood. Blood type, like hair color and height, is received from
parents.
The four groups must be transfused carefully. A and B cannot be mixed. A and B cannot receive AB, but
AB may receive A or B. O can give to any other group; therefore, it is often called the universal donor (万能捐
赠者). For the opposite reason, AB is sometimes called the universal recipient (接受者). However, because so
many reactions (反应) can happen in transfusions (输血), patients usually receive only salt of plasma (liquid
part of blood) until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of a hospital. In this
way, it is possible to prevent the transfusion from any bad reactions.
B. B
C. O
D. all of the three
B. a mixture of salt, plasma and type O
C. type AB
D. exactly the same type as your own
B. can receive blood of any other type
C. can give blood to anybody
D. cannot give blood to others
B. Differences Between Blood Types
C. Man"s Four Types of Blood
D. How to Give Blood Transfusion
B. AB is the mixture of A and B.
C. AB is called the universal recipient because it can receive any other group.
D. In transfusions, patients usually receive only salt of plasma at first.
can make sounds to warn their young of danger. They have their own way to make the young birds do certain
things.
The jackdaw is a kind of blackbirds that lives in Europe. Jackdaws live together in flocks (群). Young
jackdaws do not know their enemies. When an older jackdaw sees a dog, it makes a loud rattling (格格响的)
sound. The younger birds know this sound means an enemy is nearby. The sound warns them to know their
enemies.
If a young jackdaw is in a dangerous place, a jackdaw parent flies over him from behind. The parent bird
flies low over the young bird"s back. The parent"s tail feathers (羽毛) move quickly from side to side. It is
trying to say, "Follow me."
At the same time, the parent calls out, "Key-aw, key-aw." The parent means, "Fly home with me." The
young bird then follows the older home.
Young jackdaws do not have to learn what certain sounds mean. They know the meaning of these sounds
from the time they hatch.
B. Australia
C. America
D. Africa
B. makes a loud sound
C. flies away
D. fights the dog
B. Dogs are the most dangerous enemies for jackdaws.
C. Young jackdaws know the meaning of their parents" sound when they grow older.
D. Some birds can give certain information to one another.
