14.With the development of science and technology,new inventions,especially new electronic products,have made people's lives easy and convenient.But as the saying puts:A coin has two sides.
One day,I was walking in the park with a friend and his cell phone rang,interrupting our conversation.There we were,walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and…I became invisible,absent from the conversation.
The telephone used to connect you to the absent.Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent.Why is it that the more connected we get,the more disconnected I feel?Every advance in communications technology is a tragedy to the closeness of human interaction.With email and instant messaging over the Internet,we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another.With voice mail,you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone.If my mom has a question,I just leave the answer on her machine.
As almost every contact we can imagine between human beings gets automated,the alienation(疏远) index goes up.You can't even call a person to get the phone number of another person any more.Directory assistance is almost always fully automated.
Pumping petrol at the station?Why say good morning to the attendant when you can swipe(刷)your credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact?
Making a deposit at the bank?Why talk to a teller who might live in the neighborhood when you can just insert your card into ATM?
Pretty soon you won't have the burden of making eye contact at the grocery shop.Some supermarket chains are using a self-scanner so you can check yourself out,avoiding those check-out people who look at you and ask how you are doing.
I am not against modern technology.I own a cell phone,an ATM card,a voice mail system,and an email account.Giving them up isn't wise…they're a great help to us.It's some of their possible consequences that make me feel uneasy.
More and more,I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation.Or being relieved that voice mail picked up a call because I didn't really have time to talk.The communications industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier.
So I've put myself on technology restriction:no instant messaging,with people who live near me,no cell phoning in the presence of friends,no letting the voice mail pick up when I'm at home.

A.modern technology is bridging the people
B.modern technology is separating the people
C.modern technology is developing too rapidly
D.modern technology is interrupting our lives
35.What does the writer think to do with the modern technology?D
A.We may use them no matter what others are doing.
B.We can throw them away and return to the ancient.
C.We can be far away from them forever.
D.We can use them less and communicate with the people around us.

13.IT'S a mystery that has puzzled scientists.Five years ago,researchers found an area in the Atlantic Ocean seabed,where a part of the Earth's outer layer,or crust(地壳),is  missing.A thick layer of dark green rock,which is usually found deep inside the planet,lies exposed.
The crust,mantle(地幔) and core(地核) are the main layers that make up the planet.The mantle rests between the crust and the core.
Last month,a team of 12British scientists set off on a six-week trip to study the hole in the crust.
The hole is about 4,800meters below sea level and is believed to be more than 48,000meters long and more than 48,000meters wide.Scientists think that there are other nearby gaps."It is like a window into the interior (内部) of the Earth,"says scientist   Bramley Murton,who is part of the research team.
The site where the hole is located is part of a ridge (山脉) of undersea volcanoes.There,two of the plates that make up the Earth's surface meet.The plates are always   moving.When the plates move away from each other,lava rushes up from the mantle to   fill the gap and form a new crust.But this did not happen in the area where the hole is located.
The hole is giving researchers a good opportunity to study what's below the Earth's   surface.The team will use a special robotic tool to film the area and get samples of the exposed mantle.They hope to study everything from the chemistry of the oceans to how the Earth's surface behaves under the sea.

25.What's the title for the passage?D
A.How to study the earth.
B.The formation of the earth.
C.A hole in the earth.
D.Studying the inside of the earth.
26.For the main layers of the earth,which one is right?A
A.crust,mantle,core       B.seabed,crust,mantle
C.seabed,mantle,core      D.crust,seabed,core
27.How does the hole come into being?D
A.It's because of a volcano eruption.
B.It's because of the plates movements
C.It's because lava rushes up from the mantle
D.It's not clear from the passage.
28.By studying the hole,the scientists want to do the following exceptC.
A.knowing what's below the Earth's surface
B.getting samples of the exposed mantle
C.getting the film of the hole
D.studying the chemistry of the oceans.
14.Great Britain
"Great Britain"has several different names.Some people say"Britain",or"the United Kingdom",or just"UK".There are four different countries in the United Kingdom:England,Scotland,Wales and Northern Ireland.
Everyone from Britain is British,but only people from England are English.People from Scotland are Scottish,people from Wales are Welsh,and people from Northern Ireland are Irish.Don't call a Scottish or Welsh person English.He won't like it!
Altogether more than 56million people live in Britain,many of them in big industrial cities like London,Liverpool and Manchester,but people are often surprised by how much of Britain is open country,with lovely hills and woods,quiet rivers,lakes and farmlands.
Everyone in Britain speaks English.But in some parts of Scotland and Wales people speak an older language as well.The Welsh are especially proud of their language,and you can see road signs in Welsh all over Wales.
Everyone speaks English,but they do not all speak it in the same way.A Scottish person has to listen carefully if he wants to understand a Londoner.And when a Welsh person speaks,everyone knows at once where he comes from!
Many people think that the weather is cold and wet in Britain all the year round.But it isn't!True,it sometimes rains and even snows for days and days,but every year there are weeks of beautiful sunny weather when the British put on their bikinis and go out to sunbathe.
 Britain is only a small country,but every part is different.Scotland is a land of mountains,lakes and romantic castles.The winters are cold,with plenty of snow,but the summers are often warm and sunny.Most farmers keep sheep,and there are many small factories which make fine sweaters from their wool.In some parts of Scotland,there are very few people.Deer live in the hills,and the rivers are full of fish.But Glasgow and Edinburgh are both large and busy,with all that is good (and bad) in modern cities.
Northern Ireland has its problems,but it has beauty too.In the warm,wet climate,the grass grows a brilliant green,and much of the land is farming country.Belfast is a large industrial city with many fine buildings and a big port from which ships come and go to Scotland and England.But Belfast has had many difficult years,and it is not the busy place it once was.
In the north of England there are many old industrial towns.Now,a great number of factories have closed and thousands of people have no work.Some have moved to the new towns,built in the 1960s and 1970s,where the industries are more modern.Outside the towns,much of this part of England is beautiful countryside,with green hills,lakes and sandy beaches.Fishing is an important industry in the North East,and every night (except Sunday) the fishing boats go out to sea.
The centre of England (the"Midlands") is also an important industrial area,especially near the huge cities of Coventry and Birmingham,the centre of the car industry.But everywhere,even in the heart of a modern city,there are buildings from an older Britain-cathedrals,castles,and houses built hundreds of years ago.
Wales is a special place,a country of high mountains and pretty valleys.But Wales has plenty of industry too,with many factories and coal mines.The people of Wales are very musical.Every year they have a festival of Welsh music and poetry called an"Eisteddfod".
The west of England is rich farming country.It produces milk,cream,butter,cheese and apples,which go to make cider,a popular drink.In the villages,country people often grow their own fruit,vegetables and flowers.
Some areas of Britain are very crowded.Around Manchester,in northwest England,and Glasgow,in Scotland,are large city areas of houses and factories.The southeast of England,too,has many towns and cities,including London,the giant capital.But quite near London there are still some quiet villages and peaceful farms.
Britain is an island,of course,and you are never far from the sea.Some of the coast,especially in the west,is wild and rocky,with small,sandy beaches,and romantic old harbours.Other parts are industrial.The east coast of Scotland,for example,is busy with oilrigs and fishing boats.The most popular beaches are near the many holiday towns on the south coast,where the weather is usually warmer.It is here that Londoners come to relax.
London London has been a capital city for nearly a thousand years,and many of its ancient buildings still stand.The most famous of these are the Tower of London,Westminster Abbey and St.Paul's Cathedral,but most visitors also want to see the Houses of Parliament,Buckingham Palace (the Queen's London home) and the many magnificent museums.Once,London was a small Roman town on the north bank of the Thames,but slowly it grew into one of the world's major cities with more than nine million people.Fewer people live in the centre now,but the suburbs are still growing.
Places now in the heart of London,like Westminster,once stood in the middle of green fields.Many small villages,like Hampstead,Chelsea and Mayfair,became part of London,but they still keep some of their old atmosphere.Different areas of London seem like different cities.The West End is a rich man's world of shops,offices and theatres.The East End is the old working people's district,where there are many small flats and houses,some old,some new.
London is always changing.New buildings go up and old ones come down.Poorer areas become fashionable and people with more money move into them.
A hundred years ago,the river was crowded with ships,leaving for Java and Japan,New Zealand and New York,but now the port is nearly empty.People travel by air,and London's main airport,Heathrow,is one of the busiest in the world.
Like all big cities,London has streets and concrete buildings,but it also has many big parks,full of trees,flowers and grass.Sit on the grass (you're allowed to!) in the middle of Hyde Park or Kensington Gardens,and you will think that you are in the country miles away.
Many people live outside the centre of London in the suburbs,and they travel to work by train,bus or underground.Every day,nearly half a million office workers travel into the"City",the business centre of London,a small area full of banks and offices.Some people come from far out of London,even from the coast,and spend up to four hours travelling every day.
Working hours are from 9a.m.to 5p.m.From 8until 10every morning,and 4.30to 6.30every evening,the trains are crowded with people,and after the morning"rush hour"the shoppers come.
By day the whole of London is busy.At night,the City is quiet and empty,but the West End stays alive,because this is where Londoners come to enjoy themselves.There are two opera houses here,several concert halls and many theatres,as well as cinemas,and the pubs,restaurants and night clubs are busy half the night.
Many people think that London is all grey,but in fact red is London's favorite colour.The buses are red,the letter boxes are red,and the mail vans are all bright,bright red.London is at its best when people are celebrating.Then the flags,the soldiers'uniforms,the cheering crowds and the carriages and horses all sparkle in the sunshine-if it's not raining,of course!
Edinburgh Edinburgh is Scotland's capital,and one of the most beautiful cities in Britain.The heart of Edinburgh is the thousand-year-old castle,where the kings of Scotland lived for centuries.
From Edinburgh castle you can see for miles,north over the beautiful old streets,an arm of the sea that pushes inland.Far away are the mountains of central Scotland,often covered with snow.
Edinburgh has a busy cultural life.Every year,in September the International Festival takes place.Musicians,actors and singers come from all over the world and thousands of visitors fill the city.In the evening,the opera house,the theatres and the concert halls are full.In cafes and pubs,small groups sing,act and read poetry.
The castle is at its best in festival time.Every night there is a magnificent military"Tattoo".Highland soldiers wearing"kilts"play the bagpipes,and march to the music.
Tartans,the patterns of the kilts,have an interesting history.Since the fifteenth century,each Scottish family has worn its own tartan as a kind of badge.It was a useful way of recognizing people,especially in times of war.Many tartans date only from the nineteenth century,but some of the old patterns still exist."Dress"tartans,worn on special occasions,have light,bright colours."Hunting"tartans are usually green,blue or brown.
Oxford What is so special about Oxford and Cambridge,the two oldest universities in England?Why do so many students want to study there?
Both of these university towns are very beautiful.They have some of the finest architecture in Britain.Some of their colleges and libraries are three,four and even five hundred years old,and are full of valuable books and precious paintings.Both towns have many lovely gardens,where the students can read and relax in the summer months.
Oxford is the older university of the two.The first of its colleges was founded in 1249.The university now has thirty-four colleges and about twelve thousand students,many of them from other countries.There were no women students at Oxford until 1878,when the first women's college,Lady Margaret Hall,opened.Now,women study at most colleges.
Oxford is,of course,famous for its first class education as well as its beautiful buildings.Some of the most intelligent men and women in the country live and work here.Oxford gives them what they need:a quiet atmosphere,friendly colleagues,and the four-hundred-year-old Bodleian library,which has about five million books.
