Researchers have developed new software using smart phones¡¯GPS and imaging abilities that determine the exact location of distant objects as well as monitor the speed and direction of moving objects£®The software could eventually allow smart phone-armed soldiers to target the location of their enemies£®On the home front£¬the software could be used by everyone£¬including golfers judging distance to the green and biologists documenting the location of a rare animal without disturbing it£®

¡°The great advantage of a Smartphone is that it provides so many tools in a single£¬readily available£¬relatively inexpensive package£¬¡±said Qia Wang£¬a doctoral student who led the development of the software£®¡°For example£¬on the battlefield£¬a soldier needs a rangefinder£¬compass£¬GPS and other tools to get information before calling in an air strike£®With our software£¬the soldier can have all those instruments in one device that can be purchased off the shelf£®When that soldier returns from War£¬she can use the same Software to protect her family by clocking a speeder near her children¡¯s school and catching the criminal on video£®¡±

Wang and his colleagues developed their software to locate and track£º

Targets of known size¡ªwhen the size of the target is known£®a single image is enough to pinpoint the target¡¯s location£®

Targets of unknown size¡ªIf the exact size of a target is unknown£¬the software uses two images to triangulate the location of the target¡¤

Moving targets¡ªBy taking a short video of a moving target£¬the smartphone software can calculate how fast the target is moving and in what direction it is going.

¡°Currently£¬our software is limited by the physical abilities of smartphone hardware£¬but the devices are improving rapidly£¬¡±Wang said£®¡°We expect that improvements in GPS accuracy£¬battery life and camera resolution will allow our software to make even more accurate observations£®¡±

1.£®From Paragraph 1 we can know that the new software can_______.

A£®determine the speed of moving objects

B£®1ocate objects in the distance exactly

C£®defend soldiers against their enemies

D£®help biologists protect rare animal

3.£®How does the software calculate the speed of a moving object?

A£®By taking a short video£® B£®By locating its position.

C£®By taking a single image£®D£®By measuring real-life size.

4.£®What¡¯s Qia Wang¡¯s attitude towards the future of the software?

A£®Casual£® B£®Optimistic£®

C£®Cautious£®D£®Flexible

5.£®What is the best title of the text?

Many years ago£¬a French naturalist£¬the Count de Buffon£¬wrote some books about natural history£®The books were a great success even though some critics did not like them£®Some critics said£¬¡°Count Buffon is more of a poet than a scientist£®¡±

Thomas Jefferson did not like what the Count had said about the natural wonders of the New World£®It seemed to Jefferson that the Count had spoken of natural wonders in America as if they were unimportant£®

This troubled Thomas Jefferson£®He too was a naturalist£¬as well as a farmer£¬inventor£¬historian£¬writer and politician£®He had seen the natural wonders of Europe£®To him£¬they were no more important than those of the New World£®

In 1788£¬Thomas Jefferson wrote about his home state£¬Virginia£®While writing£¬he thought of its natural beauty and then of the words of the Count de Buffon£®At that moment£®Jefferson created a new word¡ªbelittle£®He said£®¡°The Count de Buffon believes that nature belittles her productions on this side of the Atlantic£®¡±

Noah Webster£¬the American word expert£¬liked this word£®He put it in this English language dictionary in 1806£¬¡°Belittle¡ªto make small£¬unimportant£®¡±

Americans had already accepted Jefferson¡¯s word and started to use it£®In 1797£¬the Independent Chronicle newspaper used the word to describe a politician the paper supported£®¡°He is an honorable man£¬¡±the paper wrote£¬¡°so let the opposition try to belittle him as much as they please£®¡±

In 1872£¬a famous American word expert decided that the time had come to kill this word£®He said£¬¡°Belittle has no chance of becoming English£®And as more critical writers of America£¬like those of Britain£¬feel no need of it£¬the sooner it is forgotten£¬the better£®¡±

This expert failed to kill the word£®Today£®belittle is used where the English language is spoken£®

1.Why did Thomas Jefferson disagree with the Count de Buffon?

A£®The Count said something silly about the Atlantic£®

B£®The Count wasn¡¯t a true scientist in natural history£®

C£®The Count was a poet from a different country£®

D£®The Count belittled the natural wonders in America£®

2.We can infer that Jefferson created the word¡°belittle¡±out of his £®

A£®anger B£®excitement C£®kindness D£®responsibility

3.From the text we can know that £®

A£®all critics thought little of the Count de Buffon

B£®Europe has better wonders than the New World

D£®The Independent Chronicle made it popular£®

5.What is the main idea of the text?

A£®How the word¡°belittle¡±came into being£®

B£®The argument about natural wonders£®

C£®Every word has a long history behind£®

D£®Noah Webster supported Jefferson¡¯s idea£®

 

A man was bitterly envious of his neighbour£®He spent long hours in prayer£¬wanting to be to his neighbour in every aspect of life£®

One night£¬God appeared before him in a dream and said£¬¡°I am pleased with your £®Ask for a gift your neighbour will get the same gift in double amount£®¡±

He was glad but sad that his enemy would get a greater gift£®He requested£¬¡°God£¬ the sight in one of my eyes£®¡±

With his single eye£¬he peeped at his neighbour but was to see his neighbour's sight was not lost! Confused£¬he to God£¬¡°Why don¡¯t you keep your word?¡±

God said£¬¡°Son£¬I always keep my word£® is not a gift£¬but a curse£®You have the gift of sight in only one eye now£¬as asked by you£®But your neighbour has sight in both of his eyes£®I the gift£®¡±

He suddenly from his dream and was sure that it was a message from God£®Englightened by the dream£¬he went to his neighbour and begged his pardon for thinking and acting him£®They embraced each other and were good friends thereafter£®
