       When Babbage was working at Cambridge, a new idea occurred to him. He wanted to construct a calculating machine to work out the solutions(解法)to maths problems not only with correctness but also with a speed beyond the power of any human mind. His machine could solve problems involving(涉及)long rows of figures in one continuous operation(运算).

       In 1822 Babbage exhibited his invention and won a prize from the government. After that, he immediately started to work on a larger machine designed to solve more difficult problems. Although he received some money left by his father, the money was not enough to support his design. He wrote to the government about his plan and was given £2500 to start with, a sum worth much more in those days than it is now.

       Babbage continued his work in London for four years. Then his health broke down, and he had to take a long holiday abroad. When he returned to London in 1828, he was at the end of his resources. Many bills remained unpaid. His chief assistant and co-workers quarreled with him and left with many expensive tools. For one year no work was done. During this period, Babbage, whose mind was always active, suddenly thought of a completely new idea for the machine. He rushed to meet the government officials to explain his new idea. But this time, they were unwilling to help him. For eight years, they refused to say whether they wanted the machine or not, and their final answer was “No.”

       From 1828 to 1839, Babbage held the position of professor at Cambridge very successfully. But his greatest work was the unfinished calculating machine which stood covered in dust in his house. It was the beginning of the modern computer.

60.The machine Babbage designed would solve difficult maths problems _________.

      A.in one operation with few mistakes

       B.in more than one operation without any mistakes

       C.in more than one operation with slight mistakes

       D.in one operation without any mistakes

61.Babbage failed to continue his research work in 1828 mainly because _______.

      A.he was in poor health    B.he almost ran out of money

       C.his co-workers argued with him         D.he spent all his money on his bills

62.Babage explained his new idea to the government officials, expecting that _________.

      A.they would agree to his plan    B.they would pay for his new idea

       C.they would support him with money   D.they would exhibit his new design

63.From the passage, we can infer that __________.

      A.Babbage failed to be a famous scientist at Cambridge

       B.Babbage always had new ideas but gave them up easily

       C.Babbage always needed support from the government officials

       D.Babbage was the first designer of the modern computer

 

We know that sugary sodas aren’t good for our bodies. Now it turns out that they may not be good for our minds, either. A new study of more than 260,000 people has found a link between sweetened soft-drinks and depression, and diet sodas may be making matters worse.

Americans drink far more sodas than people in other countries— as much as 170 liters per person per year. But the impact of this study isn’t limited to the United States. “Sweetened drinks, coffee and tea are commonly consumed worldwide and have important physical consequences. And they may have important mental-health consequences as well,” study author Dr Honglei Chen said in a statement.

The study studied 263,925 people between the ages of 50 and 71. Researchers followed their consumption of drinks like soda, tea coffee, and other soft drinks from 1995 to 1996 and then. 10 years later, asked them if they had been diagnosed with depression since the year 2000. More than 11,3000 of them had.

Participants who drank more than four servings of sodas per day were 30 percent more likely to develop depression than participants who did not drink sodas at all. People who stuck with fruit punch(鸡尾酒), had a 38 percent higher risk than people who didn’t drink sweetened drinks. And all that extra sugar isn’t the actual problem. Researchers say that the artificial sweetener aspartame may be to blame.

The study found a link but could not surely determine whether sodas and other sweet soft drinks cause depression. Still, the results “are consistent with a small but growing body of evidence suggesting that artificially sweetened beverages may be linked to poor health outcomes.”

But there’s a bright side for those who can’t live without their daily sodas. Adults who drank coffee had a 10 percent lower risk of depression compared to people who didn’t drink any coffee, according to the study. “Our research suggests that cutting out or down on sweetened diet drinks or replacing them with unsweetened coffee may naturally help lower your depression risk,” said Chen.

1.What has the new study of more than 260,000 people found?

A. Sugary sodas aren’t good for the physical health of old people.

B. Americans have a special tooth for sweet foods.

C. Sweetened soft-drinks may increase the risk of depression.

D. Sweetened soft-drinks have important physical consequences.

2.What do we know about the process of the study?

A. About twenty-six thousand people participated in it.

B. The oldest participants were below 80 when the study was over.

C. Most of the participants had depression when the study was over.

D. The study lasted more than ten years from the beginning to the end.

3.We infer that the underlined word “aspartame” in Paragraph 4 refers to something that _____.

A. can reduce the harm of sweetened drinks

B. is used to reduce the risk of depression

C. is mainly used to make fruit punch

D. is used to make something .sweet

4.It is implied in the passage that ______.

A. more research is needed to confirm the new findings

B. the new findings aren’t consistent with any previous findings

C. cutting one’s sodas intake will surely reduce one’s depression

D. the new findings won’t have an impact on people’s drinking habits

5.What should you drink in order to reduce the risk of depression?

A. Sodas.

B: Unsweetened coffee.

C. Sugary coffee.

D. Fruit punch.

 

[1]All people have dreams and they obey the rule that if you can dream it, you can achieve it! Here are four goals for people to reach a perfect life in their future.

[2]The first goal common to all of us in health and energy. We all want to be healthy and fit, to have high levels of energy and to live free of pain and illness. Today, with the incredible advances in medical science, the quality of our health and fitness, and our lifespan, is largely determined by design, not by chance. People with excellent health habits are far healthier, have more energy, and live longer and better than people who have poor health habits. Remember that health is not everything, but without health everything is nothing!

[3]The second goal that we all have in common is to enjoy excellent relationships – intimate, personal or social – with the people we like and respect, and who                         is turn. Fully 85% of your happiness will be determined by the quality of your relationships at each stage, and in each area, of your life. How well you get along with people, and how much they     , have more impact on the quality of your life than perhaps any other factor.

The third common goal is to do work that we enjoy, to do it well, and to be well paid for it. You want to be able to get and keep the job you want, to get paid more and promoted faster. You want to earn the very most that is possible for you at each stage of your career, whatever you do.

The fourth goal we all have in common is to achieve financial independence. You want to reach the point in life where you have enough money so that you never have any financial worries. You want to be completely free of them. You want to be able to order dinner in a restaurant without referring to the price listing to determine what you want to eat.
