Computers are very important to modern life. Many people think that in the future computers will be used in lots of everyday life. It is thought that we won’t have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold in shops on the Internet. There will be no more books because we will be able to get all texts from computers. The Internet will be used to play games, see films and buy food. Most telephone calls will be made by computers, too.

Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and communicating. Others do not think that computers will replace our old ways.

Let’s look at books, for example. Some people think that one day we will not read books made of paper. Instead, we will buy and read books using computers. We will read texts on small pocket computers. The computers will keep many different books in them at the same time. We won’t need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved. Computerized(计算机化) books will be used more and more.

Is Internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shop? Many people say it is not. It is a pleasure to go into shops and look at things you want to buy. It is also unlikely that many people will want to read large texts on our computers. Because paper books will perhaps be more friendly. Maybe computers won’t change these two habits.

1.In paragraph(段落)1 it is thought people will use computers for _______.

A. playing games, shopping and making telephone calls

B. making telephone calls, having meals and seeing films

C. seeing films, buying food, and going for holidays

D. playing games, making telephone calls and seeing the doctor

2. Which reason for using computerized books is NOT said in the passage?

A. Computerized books won’t be very expensive.

B. Computers can keep many different books in them.

C. We won’t have lots of pages.

D. We won’t need any paper.

3.Paragraph 4 tells _______.

A. about the old and new ways of shopping and communicating

D. about future uses of computers

4. The title for this passage is _______.

A. Computers will Replace Shops and Books      B. Computers will be Used a lot in the Future

C. Computers will Do Everything for Man        D. How Computers Change Our Habits

5.According to the writer’s view, which is right?

Energy is very important in modern life. People use energy to run machines, heat and cool their homes, cook, give light, and transport people and products from place to place. Most energy comes from fossil fuels—petroleum, coal, and natural gas. However, burning fuels causes pollution. Also, if we don’t find new kinds of energy, we will use up all the fossil fuels in the twenty-first century. Scientists are working hard to find other kinds of energy for the future. What might these sources of energy be?

Energy from the wind

All over the world, people use the power of the wind. It turns windmills and moves sailboats. It is a clean source of energy, and there is lots of it. Unfortunately, if the wind does not blow, there is no wind energy.

Energy from water

When water moves from a high place to a lower place, it makes energy. This energy is used to create electricity. In Brittany, France, for example, waterpower produces enough energy to light a town of 40,000people. Waterpower gives energy without pollution. However, people have to build dams to use this energy. Dams cost a lot of money, so water energy is expensive.

Energy from the earth

There is heat in rocks under the earth. Scientists use this heat to make geothermal energy. San Francisco gets half of the energy it needs from geothermal power. This kind of energy is cheap, but it is possible only in a few places in the world.

Energy from the sun

Solar panels on the roofs of houses can turn energy from the sun into electricity. These panels can create enough energy to heat an entire house. Solar power is clean and there is a lot of it in sunny places. But when the weather is bad, there is no sunlight for energy.

1.What does this passage mainly talk about?

A．Advantage of the energy from nature.

B．The future of the energy.

C．Scientists have been working hard to research other kinds of energy.

D．energy is the most important power in the word.

2.From the first paragraph we know ______.

A．energy can do everything for people

B．all the energy causes pollution

C．the new kinds of energy are badly needed

D．scientists have found other kinds of energy for the future

3.What is the writer’s opinion about the energy?

A．Try to use water energy more though it costs a lot.

B．Each natural energy has its own advantages and disadvantages.

C．Solar power is environmental.

D．Wind power is the cheapest but we can’t get.

4.What can be inferred from the passage?

A．In order to protect our environment, we should try other kinds of energy.

B．All scientists in the world will unite to find energy.

C．People in modern life use energy every day.

D．Energy changes people’s lives.

The earliest simple computer, the Chinese abacus dates back to thousands of years ago, consisting of rows of beads on a wooden frame used for counting. The modern computer dates back to 1946, when the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator (ENIAC) was invented. The U.S. Department of Defense developed the Internet so all of its own computers could be connected; in 1990 the World Wide Web was born. The rapid development of technology has resulted in the computers we use today, and those are changing as we speak too.

You can do many things on a computer. You can create and print letters or reports for school, and save those documents in case you need them later; you can watch movies, listen to music and play video games. The Internet allows people to visit different websites, send e-mails, shop online and pay bills electronically. Some people even work or receive schooling through their home computers.

The most common types of computers used are the desktop, the laptop and the handheld computer. Desktop computers stay in one place, and their parts are contained in a case that is placed beneath the monitor. Laptop computers are lightweight and small enough to be carried by users who need computers and the Internet access to them in different places. Handheld computers include personal digital assistants, small video gaming devices and mobile phones.

While computers make life convenient and are considered positive to society, there are negative aspects of computer use that kids and their family should consider. Computer viruses are harmful programs that damage information and can stop your computer from working properly. The Internet presents risks for young people, too. The information you share is not private. Some kids use their computers so much that they don’t want to do anything else.

1.The earliest simple computer was invented ________.

A.in 1946 B.in 1990 C.by Chinese D.by Americans

2.What kind of computer is liked most by people whose working place is not fixed?

A.The desktop. B.The laptop.

C.The mobile phone. D.The personal digital assistant.

3.In which order is this passage written?

A.Functions→Types→History→Warnings. B.History→Warnings→Types→Functions.

C.History→Types→Functions→Warnings. D.History→Functions→Types→Warnings.

4.We can conclude from the passage that ________.

A.computers do more harm than good to kids.

B.kids shouldn’t be allowed to use computers.

C.parents should limit the time of their kids using computers.

D.people should stay away from computers so as not to get viruses.

When it comes to giving help to developing countries, we often think about donating money so that these countries can build schools and hospitals, buy food and medicine, or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs of the people we are trying to help. However, the traditional way is far from enough. We need better ideas to help them.

Recently, I read about a plan to make cheap laptop computers for children in developing countries. A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer, which can run without electricity. He decided to invent this computer after he visited a school in Cambodia.

The laptop which Mr. Negroponte has designed is a little different from the normal laptop computers you can buy in the shops. Covered in rubber, this computer is very strong and won’t be damaged easily. As an electricity supply can be a problem in developing countries, the computer also has a special handle (把手) so that children can wind (摇) the computer up to give it extra power when needed.

These special laptop computers will cost less than 100 US dollars and Mr. Negroponte wants to build as many as 15 million machines in the first year of production. The idea is that these computers will help the children’s education as they will be able to access the Internet.

These computers might not help the people in developing countries immediately, but by improving children’s education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in the long term.

Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that they can be used again. In the UK, and probably in many other countries too, millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year. The waste created by throwing away these old phones is very bad for the environment, so it seems to be an excellent idea to recycle them. In this way we will be able to achieve two important goals at the same time. We will reduce the waste we produce and help others. In other words, we will be able to “kill two birds with one stone”, and that is always a good thing.

1.Which of the following words can be best used to describe Nicholas Negroponte?

A.Determined and devoted. B.Independent and successful.

C.Responsible and selfless. D.Creative and caring.

2.What can we infer from the passage?

A.The computer invented by Nicholas Negroponte runs without electricity.

B.Recycling old phones is a traditional way to help developing countries.

C.Improving education can help developing countries in the long run.

D.The UK creates most of the waste by throwing mobile phones.

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

A.To introduce some new and better ways to help developing countries.

B.To call on people to help developing countries.

C.To talk about different ways to help developing countries.

D.To tell readers how to help developing countries.

Competition is a common phenomenon in our social life. 1. There is constant competition for academic degrees, jobs, customers, money and so forth. In a sense, competition is one of the motive forces to the development of society.

2. Therefore, the only way to survive is to be competitive. Growing in a competitive environment is important for a child because future adult life is difficult. Finding a good job, for example, is an extremely competitive activity.

Today, most people obtain knowledge through various ways and a large number of people get good education. 3.The quality of people is rapidly increasing. Competition is more violent than what we thought it should be. The potentially successful job applicant has to be prepared in stronger position by gaining more qualifications and experience. In the sports contests, the strongest will come out as winners. In the business world, to beat your competitors, you must be better than the other employees. 4.

Though the only way our world rewards people is to give honor to the winners, not to the losers, by attempting to compete at different activities, we can still learn to win and lose, gain experience and know our strengths and weaknesses. Competition prepares us for the tough things in life.

Whether in games, in study or in business alike, the aim is to win the game, the degree, the trophy, and the contract. 5.

A.Otherwise, you will be defeated.

B.Modern society demands high-quality talents.

C.Learning to be competitive is clearly the best preparation for life.

D.There are also many people who have higher degrees in their special fields.

E.Children have to learn to be competitive in order to adapt to modern society.

F.In the natural world, the weak will be replaced by the strong and the fittest can live.

G.We compete when we play games and when we try to do better than others in our study.

Living in a modern society with more and more out-of-date but still useful computers, many people have to face such a troubling problem: How to deal with those old computers? Some old ones are put away in homes. Many more are just thrown out with the rubbish.

Don’t worry! Some companies are coming up with new ways to cut the number of old computers. Sony, Dell, Hewlett-Packard and other companies now agree to take back some old computers.

In some countries, there are laws about what to do with old computers. By law, computer companies will have to pay for collecting and recycling their used products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay the cost. That will encourage them to make computers that are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade（升级）.

While many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations（组织）are working to solve this problem. They collect and repair old computers before sending them to schools, charities（慈善团体）and people who need them. In this way, we can turn one person's rubbish into someone else's useful things-and cut down on waste.

1.What do many people do with old computers?

A．They sell them to others.

B．They try to repair them.

C．They give them to others.
