20.Film cameras and digital cameras work in a similar way.
Film cameras
After all,a film camera is basically a light-proof (不透光的) box.It has a lens (镜头) system to focus light onto the film at the back of the camera.
Let's suppose that we are outside on a beautiful summer day trying to take a picture of the family dog.We are using a film camera.We finally get the dog to lie still.You point the camera at him.What happens?Light goes into the camera lens and hits the shutter.In other words,nothing happens yet.Now let's say that the dog looks really cute and you decide to snap a picture.What happens?When you press the button,the shutter open for a very short period of time.A small amount of light passes through and hits the film at the back of the camera.This creates an upside-down and reversed (反向的)image on the film.
    When you finish the roll of the film,you can take it to the photo shop to develop it and you will have a great picture of your dog!
    Cameras come with different lens lengths.Why does it matter?Many small cameras have shorter focal lengths,which means that there is a small distance between the lens and the place where the light focuses at the back of the camera.This gives you a large view of the area you are taking a picture of.Lenses with a long focal length show a smaller area but allow you to focus on distant objects and make them bigger.They are often called telephoto lenses.A good example of a long focus lens is one that is used by sports photographers to get photos of football players as if they were standing right beside them.
Digital cameras
    In digital cameras,the light falls not on film but onto a sensor (传感器)called a CCD (Charge Coupled Device).This digitally converts(转变) light and colour into a digital information or pixels (象素).The CCD is the heart of any digital camera and usually the most expensive part----depending on how good it is.
67.Which of the following statements is TRUE?C
A.Both digital and film cameras focus light onto the film.
B.All cameras have a sensor.
C.Digital cameras and film cameras have something in common..
D.Small cameras usually have longer focal lengths.
68.In the"Film cameras"part,you fail to take the picture of the dog becauseC.
A.light goes into the camera lens and hits the shutter
B.you haven't aimed the camera at the dog
C.the image of the dog is not created
D.the sensor fails to convert light and colour into a digital information
69.The main reason that sports photographers can get clear and big photos of players is thatD.
A.they use digital cameras                              
B.the lens of their cameras is excellent
C.their focus lenses are short                        
D.their focus lenses are long
70.Generally speaking,a digital camera's price isA.
A.closely related to the quality of the CCD
B.irrelevant to the quality of the CCD
C.closely related to the lens
D.irrelevant to the lens.

10.According to figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS),the U.K.has about 7.7million families with dependent children,of which 3.7million have just one child,compared to 3million with two and 1.1million with three children or more.The number of families today with just one dependent child is now 47percent and will likely rise to more than 50percent in a decade.As the ONS confirms,"It appears that families are getting smaller."
One obvious reason for this could be that women are putting off having children until they have established careers when they are bound to be less fertile.But it could just as well be a matter of choice.Parents must consider the rising cost of living,combined with economic uncertainty and an increasingly difficult job market.And this trend may continue growing as having an only child becomes more normal,which seems to be the mood on the mothers'online forum Mumsnet,where one member announced that she"just wanted to start a positive thread about how fab it is to have an only child".
She had received 231replies,overwhelmingly in the same upbeat spirit.Parents of only children insist there are plenty of benefits.Nicola Kelly,a writer and lecturer who grew up as an only child and is now a married mother of one,says her 15-year-old son seems more grown-up in many ways than his contemporaries.
Not all products of single-child families are as keen to repeat the experience.In a moving recent account journalist Janice Turner wrote about her own keenness to"squeeze out two sons just 22months apart"as a reaction to her only-child upbringing.
She was placed on a pedestal by her doting parents,whom she punished with a"brattish,wilful"rejection of everything they stood for.Desperate for a close friend she was repeatedly shattered by rejection and refers to her childhood as being"misery".
Writer and clinician Dr.Dorothy Rowe,a member of the British Psychological Society,says that we all interpret events in our own individual way and there are some children who no matter what their circumstances feel slighted,while other children see the advantages of their situation.
However,the one part of life that is unlikely to get any easier for only children is when they grow up and find themselves looking after their own parents as they become older.

58.The passage is written with the purpose ofC.
A.illustrating the strength and weakness of having an only child
B.analyzing the reasons why having an only child becomes popular
C.presenting us with different opinions about having an only child
D.guiding people to look at the same issue from different perspectives
59.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4mean?B
A.Nearly half of families intend to have just one child.
B.All people don't stand for the idea of having an only child.
C.Some people fail to recognize the advantage of having an only child.
D.People brought up in an only child family resist downsizing the family.
=60.From what Dr.Dorothy Rowe said,we know thatD.
A.journalist Janice Turner experienced a miserable childhood
B.she has a positive attitude towards Janice Turner's reaction
C.it's necessary for us to look at the event from our own angle
D.some are unable to make an objective assessment of their conditions
61.What can be inferred from the passage?D
A.It's normal to see the imperfection in character in only children.
B.Mumsnet is an online forum which promotes having an only child.
C.Economic development plays a determining role in the family size.
D.Only children will have difficulty in attending to their parents.
11.Charter schools operate with public money but without many of the rues that Sovem tradi-tional public schools.In the Uruted States the rules for charter schools difFer from state to state. But in Seneral these schools havegreater freedom to decide what to teach and how to teach it.
    The"charter'is a perfarmance contract.It establishes thegoals of the school and other details like how student performance will be measured. Forty-seven million students attend traditional public schools.But more than a million students attend charter schools:
    And now a group of charter schools have formed the Green Charter Schools Network. The idea is to have environmentally friendly school buildings but toalso go further than that.The schools teach students to become involved in community issues that affect them and the environ-ment. For example,youg children grow crops in a school garden and leam about healthy eat-ing.Older students help recycle waste from the cafeteria.And local schoois share what they grow in community gardens with people in need.
    Jim McGrath is president.of the Green Charter Schools Network. He says there are about 200"green"charter schools across the United States. He says the plan is to also include tradi-tional public schools as well as private schools.
    Jim McGrath:"The most important thing is that every one of us-every child,every adult-has a reaponsibility that their action,every action we make has an effect on the earth  that we live in. And that our natuntl resources are not unlimited. And that if we want a positive earth for future generations,we all need to make comnutments to be agents of change so that we don't destroy our natural resources.
    The Green Clarter Schools Network holds its first national conference this October in Min-nesota.It will include companies and orgaizations like Waste Management and the Uruted States Green Brulding Council. We sincerely hope that their goal is to expand the movement across the country.

8.It might have been a really bad stressful day,feeling trapped inside by the cold and snow which surrounded us.My husband was the first to shift his consciousness.He dressed accordingly and announced that he was going outside to build a giant snowman.
At first he stood alone,piling massive amounts of snow.Soon after a neighbor joined in my husband's quest to embrace the opportunity the winter presented.Maintaining less than desirable attitudes,we reluctantly put on our snow gear(用具) and headed outside.It wasn't long before we were smiling and enjoying the abundance of snow that Mother Nature had provided.Others came to our yard one by one to give a hand in the making of our giant snowman.
In the end we all stood back and marveled at what we had created.He was eleven feet high,twenty-five feet around at the base and decorated with many household items supplied by various families.There he stood,our glorious,gigantic (巨人般的) snowman.
People drove by and smiled.Some even stopped to enjoy his existence.The spirit that went into creating him seemed to catch on and we all enjoyed it while the cold temperatures allowed.
With the passing of time,the spring made its way back into our yard and the snowman changed form considerably.In a final effort to save what we created for just a little bit longer somebody stopped by and changed the snowman's remains to look like a rabbit.
As I prepared for the start of another week,I decided to check my email before going to bed.I found a curious message that contained the subject line:enjoy the snowman.I decided to read the message even though I did not recognize who sent it.The words it contained melted my heart.
The email said:…your neighbor looks on in disbelief!I am sure you people are enjoying the sounds and smells,along with sights of spring.The energy displayed in Mr.Snowman or Ms,is filled with vigor and joyous energy.You and your family keep it up,as this is what the world needs now.Love sweet love.More power to you and your loved ones,keep sharing with the world around.
Perhaps it was more than snowman we built that day.I'd like to agree that it was.The message seems clear.Our circumstances will turn out to be what we make of them.The possibilities are endless and the choice is ours.

66.How did the author plan to spend that cold day at first?B
A.By having a busy day.   B.By staying at home.
C.By building a snowman.  D.By visiting neighbors.
67.The reason for her husband to make a snowman was thatC.
A.he had to please his neighbors
B.he was better at it than others
C.he wanted to cheer himself up
D.he must get the last chance before spring
68.From the passage we can know that the snowmanB.
A.was built only by the author's family
B.was surprisingly big in size
C.made people more forgiving
D.made building snowman popular

15.Every baby born a decade from now will have its genetic code (基因编码) mapped at birth,the head of the worlds'leading genome sequencing (基因图谱) company has predicted.
A complete DNA read-out for every newborn will be technically possible and affordable in less than five years,promising a revolution in healthcare,says Jay Flatley,the chief executive of Illumina.Only social and legal problems are likely to delay the age of"genome sequences,"or genetic profiles.By 2019 it will have become routine to map infants'genes when they are born,Dr Flatly told The Times.
This will open a new approach to medicine,by which conditions such as high blood pressure and heart disease can be predicted and prevented and drugs used more safely and effectively.
A baby's genome can be discovered at birth by a blood test.By examining a person's genome,it is possible to identify raised risks of developing diseases such as cancers.Those at high risk can then he screened more regularly,or given drugs or dietary advice to lower their chances of becoming ill.
Personal genomes could also he used to ensure that patients get the medicine that is most likely to work for them and least likely to have side-effects.
The development,however,will raise legal concerns about privacy and access to individuals'genetic records.
"Bad things can be done with the genome.It could predict something about someone-and you could possibly hand the information to their employer or their insurance company."said Dr Flatley.
"People have to recognize that this horse is out of the barn,and that your genome probably can't be protected,because everywhere you go you leave your genome behind.Complete genetic privacy,however,is unlikely to be possible",he added.
As the benefits become clearer,however,he believes that most people will want their genomes read and interpreted.The risk is nothing compared with the gain.
63.In the first two paragraphs,the author mainly wants to tell us about.A
A.the significant progress in medicine
B.the promise of a leading company
C.the information of babies'genes   
D.the research of medical scientists
64.Which of the following is a problem caused by this approach?D
A.The delaying in discovering DNA.
B.The risk of developing diseases at birth.
C.The side-effects of medicine on patients.
D.The letting out of personal genetic information.
65.What does the underlined sentence"…this horse is out of the barn"mean?D
A.Genetic mapping technique has been widely used.
B.Genetic mapping technique is too horrible to control.
C.People are eager to improve genetic mapping technique.
D.people can't stop genetic mapping technique advancing.
66.What's Dr Flatley's attitude towards the technology?C
A.Tolerant.B.Conservative.C.Positive.D.Doubtful.
5.Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the websites you've visited.Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.
If fact,it's likely that some of these things have already happened to you.Who would watch you without your permission?It might be a spouse,a girlfriend,a marketing company,a boss,a cup or a criminal.Whoever it is,they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen-21st century is the equal of being caught naked.
Psychologists tell us boundaries(dividing line) are healthy,and that it's important to reveal yourself to friends,family and lovers in stages,at appropriate times.But few boundaries remain.The digital bread pieces you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are,where you are and what you like.In some cases,a simple Google search can reveal what you think.Like it or not,increasingly  we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.The key question is:Does that matter?
When opinion polls(民意测验)ask Americans about privacy,most say they are concerned about losing it.a survey found an overwhelming(very large)pessimism about privacy,with 60percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is"slipping away,and that bothers me."
But people say one thing and do another.Only a tiny part of Americans change any behaviors in an effort t protect their privacy.Few people turn down a tollbooths(收费站)to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements.And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards.Privacy economist Alissanfro Acquisti has a series of tests that reveal that people will give personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cent-off coupon(优惠券).
But privacy does matter-at least sometimes.It's like health; when you have it,you don't notice it.Only when it's gone do you wish you'd done more to protect it.

63.What would psychologists advise on the relationship between friends?C
A.Friends should open their hearts to each other.
B.Friends should always be faithful to each other
C.There should be a distance even between friends
D.There should be fewer quarrels between friends.
64.Why does the author say"we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret"?B
A.Modern society has finally developed into an open society
B.People leave traces around when using modern technology
C.There are always people who are curious about other's affairs
D.Many search engines profit by revealing people's identities
65.What do most Americans do about privacy protection?D
A.They change behaviors that might disclose their identity
B.They use various loyalty cards for business deals.
C.They rely more and more on electronic devices
D.They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.
66.According to the passage,privacy is like health becauseD.
A.people will make every effort to keep it
B.its importance is rarely understood
C.it is something that can easily be lost
D.people don't value it until they lose it.
12.A popular saying goes,"Sticks and stones may break my bones,but words will never hurt me."However,that's not really true.Words have the power to build us up or tear us down.It doesn't matter whether the words come from someone else or ourselves-the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.
We all talk to ourselves sometimes.We're usually too embarrassed to admit it,though.In fact,we really shouldn't be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.
This"self-talk"helps us motivate ourselves,remember things,solve problems,and calm ourselves down.Be aware,though,that as much as 77%of self-talk tends to be negative.So in order to stay positive,we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves.We should also be quick to  give ourselves a pat on the back.The next time you finish a project,do well in a test,or finally clean your room,join me in saying"Good job!"
Often,words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have.But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others.For example,when returning an item to a store,we might use warm,friendly language during the exchange.And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner.Or unkind and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.
Words possess power because of their lasting effect.Many of us regret something we once said.And we remember unkind words said to us!Before speaking,we should always ask ourselves:Is it true?Is it loving?Is it needed?If what we want to say doesn't pass this test,then it's better left unsaid.
Words possess power:both positive and negative.Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively.We can offer hope,build self-esteem(自尊) and motivate others to do their best.Negative words destroy all those things.Will we use our words to hurt or to heal?The choice is ours.

60.The main idea of the first paragraph is thatA.
A.words have a lasting effect on us
B.inspiring words give us confidence
C.negative words may let us down
D.not sticks and stones but words will hurt us
61.It is unnecessary to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves becauseC.
A.almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselves
B.talking to ourselves always gives us courage
C.we can benefit from talking to ourselves
D.it does no harm to have"self-talk"when we are alone
62.The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also occasionallyC.
A.remind ourselves               B.make ourselves relaxed
C.praise ourselves               D.give ourselves amusement
63.The author would probably hold the view thatD.
A.encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offers
B.negative words may motivate us to make more progress
C.people tend to remember friendly words
D.it is better to think twice before talking to others.
9.The Middle East countries and other world powers have been facing major political tensions which have made the stability of the crude oil prices very unpredictable.Each day the prospect(前景)of oil prices has become more and more unclear.
Water fuel has been developed as an alternative source of fuel which has fast become popular around the world.This exciting technology has various advantages.More than 70percent of the Earth is covered with water and this fuel source does not produce any harmful pollutants or dangerous emissions(散发物)either.They in fact also double the mileage(里程)of the cars that are powered by them.
Water fuel technology has been known to be the best additional form of fuel source for petrol or other fuel sources.However,any claim that this technology can be only an additional source and not a replacement is totally incorrect and misleading.such ideas have been implied by those who look down on this technology,On the contrary,this technology has numerous benefits such as it does not produce any harmful emissions which can affect the climate changes.It further helps to reduce the level of noise produced by the engines.
Various researches reflect that running costs on fuels for automobiles can be easily saved up to 40percent with the help of water cell technology.This technology can easily work on various cars powered by gas.It can also be used for trucks,vans and other vehicles.The tap water can also be easily used directly and you do not need any special water that is specially treated to be used for this purpose.You can easily find a lot of details so that you can adapt your car to use the technology.
