Finland(芬兰) isn’t on the North Pole and isn’t always covered by snow. Finland is actually covered by forests and lakes. There are plenty of reindeer in the forest and it has a wonderful tradition of making wooden toys, so maybe Father Chris tmas keeps a factory in Finland. In summer, kids can enjoy long, long days that never end -- the nights never really get dark.
The following are some interesting t hings to do in Helsinki, the capital of Finland.
Market Square
Start your visit at the open-air market at Market Square on the South Harbor. In summer, you can watch people selling fish and potatoes from their boats, eat a bag of fresh strawberries, or a sandwich from the Old Market Hall and sit out on the stone dock(码头) to watch the boats coming and going. Take a boat ride
From the Market Square, there are four or five possible boat rides. You can take a boat to travel around the islands of Helsinki. Or, you can take a waterbus to Helsinki Zoo.
Seurasaari
Seurasaari is only minutes from the center of Helsinki. Once you cross the bridge to the island, you’ll find yourself in 18th and 19th century Finland.
31. What is Finland actually covered?
A. Sno w.
B. Forests.
C. Water.
D. Forests and lakes.
32. The underlined word “reindeer” probably is _______.
A. a kind of traffic sign.
B. a kind of animal
C. a k ind of present
D. a part of the house
33. How can you go to Helsinki Zoo from the Market Square?
A. By bus
B. By boat
C. By waterbus
D. On foot

Robots are coming into people’s lives these days. Robots help people a lo t. Japanese housekeeping robots can move chairs, sweep the floor, take away dirty dishes and put dirty clothes in washing machines. Intel, the famous computer maker, has invented a self-controlled robot called Herb. Herb can do simple things that people tell it to do, such as cleaning up waste.
Recently a large robot named “Probo” has been helping children to feel less worried in hospital. Probo has a touch screen on its stomach. The screen teaches children how to use Probo. The green robot’s face can make expressions to show how medical operations will make the child feel.”The main aim of this project is to make emotional(情感) communication with children,” said Jelle Saldien, one of the researchers.
Probo was invented by Ivan Hermans, president of the Anty Foundation. He had the idea after seeing the film I, Robot. Probo’s green head and short nose are fully automated(使自动化). Its touch screen can show different emotions, such as pleasure and sadness, and can also “see” the expressions on human faces and make eye contact.
34. Herb that the famous computer maker invented is _______.
A. a man-controlled robot
B. a self-controlled robot
C. a Japanese baby
D. a very large robot
35. Probo was invented in order to _______.
A. look after children in hospital
B. teach children how to use it
C. show expressions to children
D. make emotional communication with children
36.The writer implies(暗示) that _______.
A. the J apanese robot can help children to do their homework
B. Herb can help people to do housework
C. robots will take the place of people in the future
D. Ivan is an inventor and the president of his country
37. It can be learned from the passage that _______.
A. people are not allowed to touch Probo’s stomach
B. Probo has two kinds of feeling: happiness and sadness
C. when a boy is happy, Probo can know how he feels
D. Probo is one of the robots in the film I, Robot
C
If you watch the sky for about an hour after the sun goes down, you may see some “moving stars”. But they’re not really stars. They’re man-made satellites(人造卫星). And the biggest of all is the International Space Station(ISS). From May to July is the best season to watch the ISS flying over the earth. And people can see it with their eyes.
The ISS is the biggest satellite and scientists want to live on it. They think that the best way to learn more about space is to live there.
When the space station is finished, it will be like a city in space. People will stay and study there
with many of the things they have at home. Laboratories, living rooms and power stations are being built. The ISS is the most expensive space program. Billions of dollars are being spent on it every year.
Scientists hope that the ISS will be a stepping stone for future space exploration. “The ISS will help us understand the human body better, explore space and study the earth. It can help us make life on the earth better,” said Kathryn Clark , an ISS scientist.
Sixteen countries are part of the program: the US, Russia, Canada, Japan, Brazil and 11 European countries. China isn’t an ISS country, but it has helped with some of the experiments. In 2003, China sent some rice up to the ISS to find out what space would do to it.
38. From the passage we know that______.
A. the ISS costs less than people expect
B. scientists can do anything they like there
C. the ISS can help us make life in the space better
D. sixteen countries are members of the space program
