阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

Scientists in UK have grown a living human "brain". The team at Aston University

created tiny bunch of cells which act like a mini nervous system.

They believe it could help find a cure for worse mental conditions like Parkinson’s disease. Professor Michael Coleman is leading the research program. He explained, "We are aiming to be able to study the human brain at the most basic level, using an actual living human cell system. Cells have to be alive and operating efficiently to enable us to really understand how the brain works. "The experiment involves changing cells from a cancer tumour (肿瘤）and making them behave like brain cells.

Although far from finished, researchers hope the false brain cells will give them a greater understanding of how real brains work. This, in turn, could significantly further research into conditions which affect the brain. Neil Hunt, chief leader of the research group, said, "It is still very early days, but in the future the research could lead to a useful tool for looking into dementia (痴呆)."

The technique could also provide a way to carry on animal test and is being supported by the Humane Research Trust (HRT). The scientists predict that over the next ten years a million people will develop dementia. Professor Coleman believes their findings could change this. He said，"We hope our research will provide scientists with a new and highly relational human experimental model to help them understand the brain better and develop new drugs to control the related disease. However, the biggest challenge at present is that we are greatly short of fund, which will slow our research."

1. UK scientists grow a living human "brain" in order to ______.

A. study the structure of human brain

B. make use of living human cell system

C. discover how human brain really works

D. separate cells from a cancer tumour

2. According to Neil Hunt, research into brain cells ______.

A. will get finished as early as possible

B. will make people discover dementia

C. will affect the brain growth in many ways

D. will help to treat some diseases in nerve system

3. From the last paragraph，we can know that ______

A. the technique provided by HRT is immature

B. animal tests are no longer allowed by law

C. a million people suffer from brain diseases

D. the research program lacks financial support

4. The text is intended to ______.

A. tell us about a breakthrough in medical research

B. introduce a research program in human's brain

C. introduce the progress of drugs for dementia

D. tell us about health problem in nerve system

Imagine，one day，getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in only a couple of hours，and then，after a full day of work，going back home to Beijing and having dinner there．

Sounds unusual，doesn't it? But it's not that unrealistic，with the development of China’s high—speed railway system．And that’s not a11．China has an even greater high—speed railway plan—to connect the country with Southeast Asia，and eventually Eastern Europe．

China is negotiating to extend its own high·-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 1 0 to 15 years，eventually reaching London and Singapore．China has proposed three such projects．The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore via Vietnam and Malaysia．Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan，and possibly to Germany．The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe．If China’s plan for the high-speed railway goes forward，people could zip over from London to Beijing in under two days．

The new system would still follow China’s high—speed railway standard．And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour，almost as fast as some airplanes．China’s bullet train(高速客车)，the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou，already has the World’s fastest average speed．It covers 1,069 kilometers in about three hours．

Of course，there are some technical challenges to overcome．There are so many issues that need to be settled，such as safety，rail gauge(轨距)，maintenance of railway tracks．So，it’s important to pay attention to every detail．

But the key issue is really money．China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on domestic railway expansion．

China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rather than with capital investment．Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain development．

It’11 be a win-win project. For other countries，the railway network will

definitely create more opportunities for business，tourism and so on，not to mention the better communication among those countries．

For China，such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources，but would also help develop China’s far west．We foresee that in the coming decades，millions of people will migrate to the western regions，where the land is empty and resources unused．With high-speed trains，people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for a11．And they’11 trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries．

( ) 1. China’s new high-speed railway plan will be a win-win project because ．

A. China will get much-needed resources and develop its western regions

B. China and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various ways

C. China will develop its railway system and communication with other countries

D. the foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation，business and tourism

选B在文章倒数第二段中有明确答案

( ) 2. According to the passage，the greatest challenge to the new high-speed railway plan is ．

A. technical issues

B. safety of the systemw_w w.

C. financial problems

D. maintenance of railway tracks

选C . 在文章第8段看到 There are so many issues that need to be settled...及第9节中 But the key issue is really money

( ) 3. Wh ich of the following words best describes the author’s attitude towards China’s high-speed railway plan?

A. Critical．

B. Reserved．

C. Doubtful

D. Positive．

选D . 尽管在文章第8，9段中提到存在的问题，但从最后两段中不难看出作者是持支持的态度

( ) 4. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

A. New Railway Standards

B. Big Railway Dreams

Students and Technology in the Classroom

I love my blackberry—it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer ，as it holds all of my writing and thought .Despite this love of technology ,I know that there are times when I need to move away from these device and truly communication with others.

On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas .Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom ,I have a rule —no laptop, iPods, phones ,etc .When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy .

Most students assume that year reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past w ith students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I relate to my students.

The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to think differently and make connections between the course the material and the class discussion.

I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the educations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create .Students realize

that with deep conversation and challenge , they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom .

I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change ,I’m sticking to my plan.

A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too give up.

( ) 1.Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with____

A. the course material

B. others’ mi suse of technology

C. discussion topics

D. the author’s class regulator

( ) 2.The underlined word “engage” in para.4 probably means ____

A. explore

B. accept

C. change

D. reject

( ) 3.According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may ____

A. keep students from doing independent thinking

B. encourage students to have in-depth conversations

C. help students to better understand complex themes

D. affect students’ concentration on course evaluat ion

( ) 4.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ____

A. is quite stubborn

B. will give up teaching history

C. will change his teaching plan soon

D. values technology-free dialogues in his class

【文章大意】议论文，文章论述的主题是，"students and technology"，文章以教师的口吻谈到为何不允许学生在课堂上玩iPod、手机等通讯工具，因为technology会影响我们的深入交流。

1.答案D。细节理解题。由文章第二段内容可以得出。

2. 答案A。细节理解题。由I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. 可知technology 会影响我们的深入交流。Engage 与explore 探索意义表述与之为吻合。

3. A 推理判断题。 Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom可以推知作者认为technology 会阻碍我们的独立思考能力

4. D 推理判断题。由文章最后一段作者深信自己的technology会影响我们的深入交流。并且坚持她的values technology-free dialogues in his class的观点。

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Today just as technology changed the face of industry, farms have experienced an “agricultural revolution”. On the farm of today, machines provide almost all the power.

One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer. A few forward-looking farmers are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently. The computers help them keep more accurate records so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant, how much livestock (家畜) to buy, when to sell their products, and how much profit they can expect. Many computer companies have been developing special computer programs just for farmers. Programs are being written for pig producers, grain farmers, potato farmers, and dairy farmers. In the future, farmers will be able to purchase computer programs made to their needs. Because of the growing importance of computers on the farm, students at agricultural colleges are required to take computer classes in addition to their normal agricultural courses. There can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers even more in the future. While the old-time farms depended on horse power, and modern farms depend on machine power, farms of the future will depend on computer power.

Another technological advance which is still in the experimental stage is the robot, a real “mechanized hired hand”that will be able to move and, in some ways, think like a human being. Agricultural engineers believe that computer-aided robots will make shocking changes in farming before the end of the century. Unlike farmers of the present, farmers of the future will find that many day-to-day tasks will be done

for them. Scientists are now developing robots that will be able to shear (修剪)sheep, drive tractors, and harvest fruit. Even complex jobs will be done by robots. For example, in order to milk their cows, farmers must first drive them into the barn, then connect them to the milking machines, watch the machines, and disconnect them when they are finished. In the future, this will all be done by robots. In addition, when the milking is completed, the robots will automatically check to make sure that the milk is pure. The complete change of the farm is far in the future, but engineers expect that some robots will be used before long.
