题型:不详难度:来源:
We are always told that TV is not good for us. If it is true, how come the TV-addicted kids of our young generation nowadays are much smarter than we are? In my family, the only persons who can work the TV remote control well are the children.
Probably TV really educates us. For example, we can learn a very useful medical fact: A man that has been shot always has time to speak a broken sentence when he is dying. “The killer was…” (dies)
But I suppose the biggest things that we learn from TV can be regarded as “Life Skills”. Bad things simply happen on either stormy or dark nights. Emotional breakdowns make people wander in the heavy rain without raincoats or umbrellas. And contrary to the scientists, the crack of lightning and the accompanying flash come on at exactly the same time, wherever the scenes are.
I’ve even got to know useful geographical facts from science-fiction shows: Aliens only speak the language of English no matter which planet they come from.
To make good use of something that we learn from TV can make our security better. Consider these truths. When you are really attacked by 20 bad guys, you needn’t worry about your being outnumbered. The criminals will hang back and take turns to approach you in ones and twos just so you can conveniently defeat them all. Bad guys who are completely covered in black clothes always remove their black masks to reveal that they are in fact, aha, women.
TV often teaches us a lot of important information as well about escaping from danger. Watch and learn. (1) If anyone is running after you down a passage, you will find that boxes have been conveniently placed near all the walls you need to jump over. (2) If you are tall and handsome, you can run from any number of armed criminals, and every shot will miss you.
Be warned, however, if your name card says “henchman” (帮凶) and you are part of a group of plain-looking people trying to catch a handsome individual, a single shot will kill you. But don’t be anxious: TV also delivers useful information for bad guys. All cars are inflammable (易燃的) and have amazing shock absorbers that enable them to fly into the air and land without damage — except police cars.
TV even teaches us about TV. Whenever anyone turns on a TV, it shows a news flash about someone they know. They then turn the box off immediately after that news item.

A.The program shown is always about the importance of TV.
B.The person always turns off the TV when it’s time for news.
C.The news shown is always about someone the person knows.

Try it on, virtually (虚拟的).Want to shop online for a new pair of eyeglasses? You don"t need to guess which pair looks best on you. Go and see the eBay Fashion iPhone app to try a pair of eyewear you"re checking out on a picture of your face.But what if you want to buy something bigger? Thanks to Microsoft Kinect"s motion tracking camera, you can cover clothes on your screen body.You can even choose the background of your virtual fitting room to enrich your shopping experience.
Get a perfect, custom fit.Everyone"s body is shaped differently.To get a perfect fit, you sometimes have to get your clothes changed.But by using 3D scanning technology, all the clothes you buy will fit your body perfectly.Some companies scan your body using High-tech to get the most accurate measurements, so they can make special clothes just for you.
High-tech shopping carts and checkout counters.High-tech shopping carts could, in time, be a common sight in malls and supermarkets.Microsoft Kinect-enabled carts are currently under test.The cart can follow you along the aisles (通道), controlled merely by your movement and your voice.In China, a supermarket chain introduced tablet-equipped carts that guide shoppers around the stores" aisles.
In the United States, several supermarkets use a device called Scan It that gives buyers the freedom to scan purchases on their own while they shop.While it"s great not having to line up at a checkout counter, we wouldn"t mind it if the store used Toshiba"s new Object Recognition Scanner.The machine identifies a product as soon as it"s placed in front of a camera just by its shape and color, even if it has no bar code.

【1】People study their family history for different reasons. For some, genealogy(家谱学) is important to their religion(宗教信仰). Other people who get involved in genealogy may want to confirm (证实)stories they heard about a family member. Some people say their interest in genealogy came from an eight-part series on television called Roots. Roots was first broadcast in 1977 and was based on a book which describes how the author’s ancestor, long ago in Africa, as slave was brought to America. After watching Roots, many Americans wanted to study ________________.
【2】Finding family roots is not always easy. So how exactly does someone start a genealogical research?
【3】Experts say you should start with yourself. Write down your own history. One idea is to ask your parents what they can remember about their parents or grandparents. You can often find a lot of information in family pictures, letters and other documents.
【4】Resources on local history may also provide useful information. Large libraries may have hundreds of helpful books. In the United States, several groups have large collections of genealogical materials. These collections are open to the public.
【5】Governments often have many helpful records of genealogies. Governments usually keep official copies of birth, marriage and death records. Local governments may have copies of wills. These statements of final wishes often contain details about a person’s life and wealth.
【6】Today, many people use the Internet. There are thousands of websites related to genealogy. They can guide people to historical records and provide information about how to write down their family’s history.

All across California, honeybees are flying away from their hives(蜂箱) and dying. Empty hives are causing a lot of worry about some important food crops.
Bees give us a lot more than delicious honey. They are pollinators(授粉者)—they enable plants to produce the fruits and nuts we enjoy by carrying pollen from one plant or flower to the next. The wind pollinates oats, corn, and wheat, but many other plants (like apple and cherry trees and melon vines) depend on insects, bats, and birds. In the U.S., millions and millions of bees kept by human beekeepers fly around doing a lot of this important work for food crops. “Bees are worth protecting because their work adds so much to our diet,” says Dr. Jeff Pettis of the Bee Research Laboratory.
California’s almond (杏仁) crop alone depends on about half the bees in the country. But now the almond crop and many others could be in trouble with so many bees dying.
Researchers at government and university labs all over the country are trying to figure out why so many bees are dying. However, bees are hard to study. Most die away from the hive, so researchers don’t have dead bodies to examine. And when researchers return to a hive after two weeks, about half the bees they studied on their first visit will be dead, replaced by new ones in the natural life cycle of bees. “It isn’t like studying a large animal like a cow that doesn’t move around much and is easy to find out in the cow field,” says Pettis.
Researchers have some ideas about what could be affecting bee health. They could be sick from poisons widely used to kill insects, or they might not be getting enough good food to stay strong. Also, tiny insects called mites feed on bees. “A virus or bacteria could also be doing the killing.” explains Pettis.
小题1:What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.The wind helps pollinate.
B.Bees are important in food crops.
C.Bees give us a lot of delicious honey.
D.Cherry trees are pollinated by bees.
小题2:Bees are hard to study because ____________.
A.they move around too much
B.new bees soon replace all the bees studied by researchers
C.they are too tiny
D.they never return to hives
小题3:What could cause so many bees to die?
A.Poisons to kill birds.B.Eating too much.
C.Large insects.D.Some virus.
小题4:What can we learn from the article?
A.A large number of bees have died in the hive.
B.Without bees, some foods would disappear from our diet.
C.Only researchers in California want to know what kills bees.
D.Large animals are easier to study than tiny insects.

A recent experiment held in Japan shows that it is almost impossible for people to walk exactly straight for 60 metres. Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology found 20 healthy men and asked them to walk as straight as possible to a target 60 metres away at normal speed. Each man had to walk on white paper fixed flat to the floor wearing wet colored socks. The footprints revealed that all walked in a winding rather than a straight line. Researchers found that people readjust the direction of walking every few seconds. The amount of the winding differed from subject to subject. This suggests that none of us can walk in a strictly straight line. We walk in a winding way mainly because of a slight structural or functional imbalance of our limbs (四肢). Although we may start walking in a straight line, several steps afterwards we have changed direction.
Eyesight helps us to correct the direction of walking and leads us to the target. Your ears also help you walk. After turning around a lot with your eyes closed, you can hardly stand still, let alone walk straight.
It’s all because your ears help you balance. Inside your inner ear there is a structure which contains liquids. On the sides of the organ are many tiny hair-like structures that move around as the liquid flows. When you spin (旋转) the liquid inside also spins. The difference is that when you stop, the liquid continues to spin for a while. Dizziness is the result of these nerves in your ear. When you open your eyes, although your eyesight tells you to walk in a straight line, your brain will trust your ears more, thus you walk in a curved line.
小题1:The experiment held in Japan proved that _______.
A.the participants kept readjusting their direction of walking
B.all the participants had a good sense of direction
C.the experiment was done in different ways
D.none of the participants finished the 60 metres
小题2:The underlined word “subject” in Para. 1 refers to ________.
A.a person with a functional imbalance
B.a person chosen to be studied in an experiment
C.the subject one studies at school
D.the direction of walking
小题3:The purpose of writing the article is to ________.
A.prove that ears and eyes help us to walk straight
B.explain why we can hardly walk in a strictly straight line
C.point out the importance of noticing everyday science
D.give background information about a latest study
