24、

There are many kinds of animals in this world and some of them are our friends. But can animals be made to work for us?

Some scientists think that one day animals may be taught to do some jobs. In films or on TV we have already seen some animals like elephants, monkeys, dogs, bears, or other animals doing a lot of easy things. If you watch carefully, you may find that those animals are always given a little food to eat after they have done something. Scientists say that it is true that many different animals  may be taught to do lots of easy jobs if they know they will get something to eat.

We all know elephants can carry large pieces of wood with their strength, and dogs can look after houses for people. And we also teach animals to work in factories. Apes ( 猿 ), for example, have been used in America to make cars, and scientists believe that these large monkeys may one day get in corn or drive trains. People are training them to do those things.

26、   How could we tell time if there were no watches or clocks anywhere in the world?

The sun is probably the world’s first “clock”, except in the far north, where the Eskimos(爱斯基摩人)live. There, it’s dark most of the winter, and bright most of the summer. But in most of the world, people have used the sun as a clock. Even today, if you don't have a clock, you can still know that when the sun shines, it’s day and when it’s dark, it’s night. The sun can also tell you if it's morning, noon, or afternoon.

Some people live near the sea. They have their special way to tell time. In the daytime, for about six hours, water rises higher and higher on the beach. And then it goes down and down for about six hours. The same thing happens again at night. There are two high tides and two low tides every 24 hours. Seamen on the ship learn how to tell time by looking at the moon and the stars. The whole sky is their clock.

In some places in the world, the wind comes up at about the same time every day or changes direction or stops blowing. In these places the wind can be the clock.

A sand clock is an even better clock. If you had fine dry sand in a glass, you would have what is called an hourglass. The sand in the hourglass goes from the top part to the bottom in exactly one hour. When the hourglass is turned over, the sand will take another hour to go back again.

【1】From the passage we can know there are________ ways to tell time besides the clock and watch.

A.3 B.4 C.5 D.6

【2】The Eskimos in the far north can’t use the sun for a clock because________.

A.they know very little about the sun

B.the sun there never goes down in winter

C.it's too cold for them to go out to watch the sun

D.it has long dark winters and long bright summers

【3】In which column of a newspaper can you probably read this passage?

A.Entertainment. B.Science. C.Advertisement. D.Sports.

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A.Different Ways to Tell Time B.How the Clock Was Invented

C.The Development of the Clock D.A Useful Machine to Tell Time

27、There are robots all around us. Some do difficult jobs like flying airplanes and driving subway trains. Some just do one simple job, like washing clothes. They do these by “feedback” (反馈).

We human beings receive feedback through our eyes, ears and other senses (感官), which tell us what is going on around. Robots are kind of like human beings in two ways: they work and they have feedback. Information about what is happening is “fed back” into the robot to tell it what to do next.

There are robots taking care of the temperature of our houses, cookers, and hot water systems. We set the controls to the temperature we want and leave the rest to the robot. Its feedback usually comes from a thermostat (温控器). One kind of thermostat is a metal strip (金属条板), which bends (弯曲) when it gets hot. At the right temperature, it bends just enough to turn off the heat. As the air around it cools, the strip becomes straight, which turns the heat on again.

Some robots are created to work in factories. They are taught to do different jobs. First, their “brains” are shown how the job needs to be done. A person moves the “arms” and “hands” of the robot through each part of the job as the robot’s brain records each move. After that, the robot is set to work on its own. If something gets in the way, the robot will stop until a human engineer comes to solve the problem. When it is needed for a new job, its memory is deleted. Then it will be taught how to do the new work.

The most clever robots can move and see. Their eyes are cameras. Their fingers can feel shapes and even find out how hot and cold objects are. These robots have computer brains, connected to their eyes and fingers, which control their actions.

There are robots all around, making our lives easier. In some ways, they are better than human beings. They work quickly, hardly making any mistakes. They do the same jobs over and over again, never getting bored or tired.

【1】According to the passage, which of the statements is NOT true?

A．Robots mainly work by receiving feedback.

B．Not only can robots do easy jobs, but they can do hard ones.

C．Some robots can set the temperature right through a thermostat.

D．Robots working in factories are controlled by the metal strip.

【2】In this passage, the writer tells us that ________.

A．robots should be greatly improved

B．robots are very helpful and useful to humans

C．robots will probably take over in the future

D．we see robots only at certain times

【3】We can infer from paragraph 4 that ________.

A．the robots are not able to think on their own

B．the robots are controlled by engineers all the time

C．when the robots are given a new job, their memory will be cleaned off

D．most robots can do several jobs at a time

【4】If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best?

(①=Para. 1       ②=Para. 2       ③=Para. 3       ④=Para. 4       ⑤=Para. 5       ⑥=Para. 6)

A．①; ②; ③④⑤⑥

B．①②; ③④; ⑤⑥

C．①②; ③④⑤; ⑥

D．①②; ③; ④⑤⑥

28、用所给单词的适当形式填空，使短文内容完整通顺。

We can see many inventions around us every day. Some of the inventions 【1】already 【2】 (change) our life and made our world more beautiful. Paper is a kind of useful invention. There was no paper for people to use a few thousand years ago. A lot of 【3】 (invent) in China wanted to find a new way for people to make a thing that could 【4】 (write) on. It must be cheap and light enough. A kind of paper has already been invented at the 【5】 (begin) of Han Dynasty, but it was too thin and soft, so most authors preferred 【6】 (use) the heavy bamboo rather than use this kind of paper.

At that time, there was a man 【7】 (call) Cai Lun. He was very familiar with the technique and then he made a new kind of paper which was based on that. This new kind of paper 【8】 (made) of wood, used cloth and something that was very cheap and quite easy to get. As a result, people now in the world 【9】 (be) still 【10】 (use) the paper which is made by the way that Cai Lun began to use.

29、   Archimedes and the golden crown

One day in ancient Greece, King Hiero asked a crown maker to make him a golden crown. At first, he was very__________ with it.

“It’s a nice crown, isn’t it?” he asked his men. Later, however, he began to doubt __________ it was a real golden crown. “Is it made completely of gold?” he wondered. He sent it to Archimedes and asked him to find out the truth.

“This problem seems difficult to solve. What should I do?” thought Archimedes.

Archimedes was still thinking about this problem __________ he filled his bath with water. When he got into the bath, some water ran over.

“That’s it!” shouted Archimedes. “I know __________ to solve the king’s problem!”

Archimedes went straight to the palace to see the king. First, he __________ the crown and asked the king for some gold of the same weight.

Next, he put two pots into two big bowls and filled __________ pots with water. He put the gold into one pot, and some water ran into the bowl. Then he put the crown into __________ pot. This time, even more water ran into the bowl.

“Look at this,” said Archimedes to King Hiero. “A crown __________completely of gold displaces __________water than a crown made of gold and another metal. This crown displaced more water than gold of the same weight, so I’m certain that it is not __________ made of gold. ”

“The crown maker tricked me, didn’t he? What a bad man he is!” shouted King Hiero. He then sent the crown maker to prison.
