  1. Philo Farnsworth is not a name most people know. But his work changed the way we learn, the way we live, and even the way we think. Philo Farnsworth is responsible for one of the 20th century: television.

    Philo Farnsworth was born in America in 1906. He was interested in science and technology at an early age. When he was twelve years old, he built an electric motor for his family’s washing machine. When he was fourteen, he was already giving a lot of thought to electrons(电子). As he was driving the family’s horse-drawn plowing machine, he noticed the evenly spaced rows of the potato fields. This sight gave him the idea that electrons could scan(扫描) an image one row at a time—an idea that was the key to electronic television.

    By the time he was twenty-one years old, Farnsworth had started his own company and had managed to build the world’s first electronic television. It was a very simple device(设备). But after years of hard work, Farnsworth was able to introduce the kind of television we now use.

    Farnsworth was a great inventor, but lived an unhappy life. He had a legal battle with the company, Radio Corporation of America (RCA) over who the real inventor of the TV was. He won the case, but the government stopped companies from making TVs during the war, so Farnsworth didn’t make much money from the invention.

    When Farnsworth was young, he imagined television as a convenient way for distant audiences to enjoy lectures by famous professors, or entertainment by the best symphonies(交响乐) and ballets. When he was older, television became much more popular, but he was very disappointed in the silly programs on TV. He even told his own son, “There’s nothing on it worthwhile, and we’re not going to watch it in this household.”

    1.What can we learn about Philo Farnsworth?

    A. He had a strong physical advantage.

    B. He had strong powers of observation.

    C. He had a strong interest in journalism.

    D. He had a strong sense of responsibility.

    2.The underlined sentence showed Farnsworth was legally recognized as ________.

    A. the real founder of RCA

    B. the real inventor of the TV

    C. the greatest inventor of his time

    D. the organizer of the battle with RCA

    3.The last paragraph mainly tells us that Farnsworth ________.

    A. didn’t like to watch TV programs

    B. couldn’t afford to buy a TV set

    C. couldn’t listen to famous lectures

    D. didn’t like what television became

    4.What is the best title for the text?

    A. How did Philo Farnsworth invent television?

    B. What caused Philo Farnsworth to invent television?

    C. Philo Farnsworth: the unhappy father of television

    D. Philo Farnsworth: a well-known scientist and inventor

  2. Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold and brave — and mighty (强大的) forces will come to your aid.

    Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.

    Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas — even physical strength greater than most of us realize.

    Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet — and stopped him cold.”

    Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.

    So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.

    1.Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?

    A. He faced huge risks.

    B. He lacked mighty forces.

    C. Fear prevented him from trying.

    D. Failure blocked his way to success.

    2.What was especially important for Tim’s successful defense in the football game?

    A. His physical strength.            B. His basic skill.

    C. His real fear.                    D. His spiritual force.

    3.What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

    A. To encourage people to be courageous.

    B. To advise people to build up physical power.

    C. To tell people the ways to guarantee success.

    D. To recommend people to develop more abilities.

  3. Whether you’re up for a Crocodile Dundee’s adventure or you’d just like a taste of the Australian sun, the beaches in and around Sydney can offer you all that and more.

    Sydney Beach

    Sydney Beach is located at Sydney’s northernmost tip on an extension(延伸) of land ending at Palm Beach. Before checking out the golden sand, take a quick tour of the houses of millionaires from the art and film industries.

    Palm Beach

    Only about an hour from downtown Sydney, Palm Beach offers a long stretch(延伸) of clean sand and water. With parking near the center of the beach, that leaves the rest of it as a peaceful location with a sparse population, from which you can go surfing but take care — without the huge crowds of other Sydney’s beaches, Palm Beach doesn’t afford quite the safety level to be found elsewhere. Volunteer lifesavers are on duty only on weekends and holidays.

    Bondi Beach

    For the famous beach, Bondi Beach has to be your choice. Parking is difficult to find even on slow days, so consider taking public transport to this world—known beach in the eastern Sydney suburbs. Easily reachable by taxi, bus, and rail, Bondi Beach offers sun bathing, swimming, snorkeling, and all sorts of water sports fun. If you’re in the mood for a bit of exercise, two scenic coastal walks will afford you great views and sights along the shore. Take in views from Mackenzie’s Point. It starts at Bondi and heads south to Bronte Beach. But don’t try to swim in Mackenzie’s Bay — it holds dangers such as hidden rocks.

    Bronte Beach

    Your second choice for a scenic coastal walk covers a few miles and takes you from Bronte Beach to Waverly Cemetery, where many famous Australians are buried, including the poet Henry Lawson.

    1.Which of the following shows the right order of the beaches lined from the south to the north?

    A. Palm Beach—Sydney Beach—Bronte Beach—Bondi Beach

    B. Bronte Beach—Bondi Beach—Palm Beach—Sydney Beach

    C. Sydney Beach—Palm Beach—Bondi Beach—Bronte Beach

    D. Bondi Beach—Bronte Beach—Palm Beach—Sydney Beach

    2.The underlined word "sparse" probably means ________.

    A. large            B. thick            C. thin            D. crowded

    3.What can we learn from the passage?

    A. If you want to enjoy a walk, you can choose Bondi Beach or Bronte Beach.

    B. If you want to swim in Palm Beach, the safer time is on weekdays and holidays.

    C. If you want to visit the famous people’s tombs, you can choose Sydney Beach.

    D. If you want to visit Palm Beach, the airplane is your best choice.

    4.What’s the purpose of the text?

    A. It aims to show the scenery of the beaches in and around Sydney.

    B. It aims to introduce the culture and customs in and around Sydney.

    C. It aims to show the activities on the beaches in and around Sydney.

    D. It aims to attract the visitors to the beaches in and around Sydney.
