countries decide to become twin towns.
Their citizens find pen-friends in the twin town. They exchange newspapers and stamps. The school
discuss teaching methods with the teachers in the twin town. Officials visit the twin town for celebrations. Ordinary citizens travel to the twin town, too, but not very often if it is far away.
Sometimes schools even exchange school classes for two or three weeks! For example, Cerman
middle school students study for a while at the school in Britain, staying with British families. A few
months later,their British friends come to study in Germany.
Some towns even arrange exchange visits for theatre groups,chorus (合唱队 ) and orchestras (管
弦乐队) . Others send lectures to the twin town who tell the people there all about their own town, and
show photos and slides.
Some towns organize exhibitions to show works of art, for example paintings by artists from their own
town.
Many British towns are so pleased with the result of the twinning that they set out to find more than one
twin town!

miles across. But for a small country it has a surprising range of climate. People who have never visited
England, or who have visited only one part of it, often make the mistake of thinking that it is a cold and
wet country, except for the summer months of June to September. This is probably true of the north of
England and the Midlands. In the south, however, the climate is much more pleasant. One result is that
when people retire from a job in the north they often prefer to move down to the milder south.
Perhaps the warmest part of the country is thesouthwest, which consists of the countries of Devon and
Cornwall. The warm Gulf Stream flows across the North Atlantic Ocean from the Gulf of Mexico and
makes the coastal regions of the southwest quite warm. Palm trees, bamboo and many semi-tropical
plants grow well in the southwest of England. Flowers and vegetables ripen as much as a month earlier
than those elsewhere. Farmers in the area obtain a higher price for their vegetables and flowers because
they are ready earlier. In winter there may be several feet of snow in other parts of England but there
will probably be no snow at all in the southwest. This may be one of the reasons why the southwest is
one of England"s most popular holiday areas.
1. The distance from the center of England to south coast is about .
A. one hundred miles
B. three hundred miles
C. one hundred and fifty miles
D. six hundred miles

B. with a surprising climate
C. with a pleasant climate
D. with a variety of climates
3. According to the passage .
A. flowers and vegetables from Devon are on themarket one month earlier
B. farmers in the southwest grow as many vegetables and flowers as farmers elsewhere
C. people in the southwest have to pay a higher price for vegetables and flowers

4. In the north of England and the Midlands, .
A. it is cold and wet all the year round
B. the climate is pleasant as a whole

es here can prove that.If there are worldclass beaches,it could only mean worldclass accommodations and

Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the animal-assisted study concerning the influence of
robotic dogs on old people"s depression, physical activity, and life satisfaction. "No one will argue that an older person is better off being more active, challenged, or stimulated (刺激) ," Edwards points out. " The problem is how we promote (使……成为现实) that, especially for those without friends or help. A
robotic dog could be a solution. "
In the study, the robot, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who
live alone. Before placing AIBO in the home, researchers will collect baseline data for six weeks. These
old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activities before and after AIBO. Then, the
researchers will review the data to detemune if it has inspired any changes in the life of its owner.
"I talk to him all the time, and he responds to my voice," says a seventy-year-old lady. "When I"m
watching TV, he"ll stay in my arms until he wants down. He has a mind of his own. "
The AIBOs respond to certain orders. The researchers say they have some advantages over live dogs, especially for old people. Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. A robotic dog removes exercise and feeding concerns.
"At the beginning, it was believed that no one would relate to the robotic dog because it was metal and not furry (毛茸茸的) ," Beck says. "But it"s amazing how quickly we have given up that belief. "
"Hopefully, down the road, these robotic pets could become a more valuable health helper. They will
record their masters" blood pressure, oxygen levels, or heart rhythms. AIBOs may even one day have
games that can help stimulate older people"s minds. "
B. make lonely old people"s life better
C. find the causes of old people"s loneliness
D. promote the animal-assisted research
B. keep AIBOs at home for 12 weeks
C. record their feelings and activities
D. analyze the collected information
B. It can help the disabled people.
C. It responds to all the human orders.
D.lt can watch TV with its owner.
B. keep old people active
C. change people"s beliefs
D.look more like real dogs
things have changed and life is very different.
Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a numher of scenic spots on the moon, many
hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the
beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picturewindow. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment(娱乐) of young and old.
What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven"t yet started to take on heir
(继承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may some day. But many
foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.
Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago,
most of our planet"s surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and pests no longer
destroy crops. The harvest is always good.
Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work On the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.
People are now largely vegetarians(素食者). You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of
diseases. No one has to be ill any more,
Such would be our life in 2060.
