【题目】A young school teacher had a dream that an angel appeared to him and said," You will be given a child who will grow up to become a world 【1】 . How will you prepare her so that she will realize her intelligence, develop both her confidence and sensitivity, be open-minded, yet 【2】 in character? In short, what kind of education will you 【3】 so that she can become one of the world's truly great leaders?"

The young teacher 【4】 in a cold sweat. It had never occurred to him before-any one of his present or future students could be the person 【5】 in his dream. Was he preparing them to reach any position which they may 【6】 He thought," How might my 【7】 change if I knew that one of my students were this person?" He 【8】 began to formulate (规划;想出)a plan in his mind.

This student would 【9】 experience as well as instruction. She would need to know how to solve problems of various kinds. She would need to know the value of lifelong learning in order to keep a curious and 【10】 mind.

His teaching 【11】 . Every young person who walked through his 【12】 became, for him, a future world leader. He saw each one, not 【13】 they were, but he treated them as if they would be the world leaders. He 【14】 the best from his students, yet tempered (使缓和)it with pity. He taught each one as if the future of the 【15】 depended on his instruction.

After many years, a woman he knew 【16】 to a position of world fame. He realized that she must 【17】 have been the girl de-scribed in his dream. Only she was not one of his 【18】 ,but his daughter. For of all the 【19】 teachers in her life, her father was the best.

Where and how you will 【20】 this child is a mystery. But believe that one child's future may depend upon the influence only you can provide, and something remarkable will happen.

【题目】A black hole is created when a large star burns out. Like our sun, stars are unbelievably hot furnaces(熔炉)that burn their own matter as fuel. When most of the fuel is used up, the star begins to die.

The death of a star is not a quiet event. First there is a huge explosion. As its outer layer is blasted off into space, the dying star shines as brightly as a billion suns.

After the explosion gravity pulls in what's left of the star. As the outside of the star sinks toward the center, the star gets smaller and smaller. The material the star is made of becomes tightly packed together. A star is so dense that a teaspoon of matter from it weighs billion of pounds.

The more the star shrinks, the stronger the gravity inside it becomes. Soon the star is very tiny, and the gravity pulling it in is un-believably strong. In fact, the gravity is so strong that it even pulls light into the star! Since all the light is pulled in, none can go out. The star becomes black when there is no light. Then a black hole is born!

That's what we know about black holes. What we don't know is this What happens inside a black hole after the star has been squeezed into a tiny ball? Does it keep getting smaller and smaller forever? Such a possibility is hard to imagine.

But if the black hole doesn't keep shrinking, what happens to it? Some scientists think black holes are like doorways to another world. They say that as the star disappears from our universe, it goes into another universe. In other words a black hole in our universe could turn into a " white hole" in a different universe. As the black hole swallows light, the white hole shines brightly-somewhere else. But where? A different place, perhaps, or a different time-many years in the past or future.

Could you travel through a black hole? Right now, no. Nothing we know of could go into a black hole without being crushed. So far the time being, black holes must remain a mystery.

Black holes are a mystery-but that hasn't stopped scientists from dreaming about them. One scientist suggested that in the future we might make use of the power of black holes. They would supply all of Earth's energy needs, with plenty to spare. Another scientist wondered if a black hole could some day be used to swallow earthly waste-a sort of huge waste disposal(处理)in the sky!

【1】 When the star begins to die __________.

A. there is no fuel left in it

B. its outer layer goes into space first

C. a huge explosion will happen

D. it doesn't give off light any longer

【2】 Which of the following doesn't help produce a black hole?

A. The gravity inside the star is very strong.

B. The light can't go out of the star.

C. The star becomes smaller and smaller

D. The dying star shines very brightly.

【3】 The black hole __________.

A. continues becoming smaller and smaller all the time

B. goes into another universe and becomes a white hole

C. can pull in everything we know of in the world

D. will appear at another place at a different time

Welcome to your future life

You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035,medical technology is better than ever. Many people your age could live to be 150,so at 40,you're not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging(抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!

You say to your shirt,"Turn red. "It changes from blue to red. In 2035," smart clothes" contain particles(粒子)much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change your clothes' color or pattern.

You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says," You shouldn't drink that !" Your fridge has read the chip (芯片)that contains information about the milk, and it knows the milk is old. In 2035,every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.

It's time to go to work. In 2035,cars drive themselves. Just tell your" smart car" where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such " smart technology" is all around you.

So will all these things come true? "For new technology to succeed," says scientist Andrew Zolli," it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already. " The Internet is one example-what will be the next?

【题目】

What will power your house in the future? Nuclear, wind, or solar power? According to scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) in the US, it might be leaves-but artificial(人造的)ones.

Natural leaves are able to change sunlight and water into energy. It is known as photosynthesis(光合作用). Now researchers have found a way to imitate this seemingly simple process.

The artificial leaf developed by Daniel Nocera and his colleagues at MIT can be seen as a special silicon chip with catalysts(催化剂). Similar to natural leaves, it can split water into hydrogen and oxygen when put into a bucket of water. The hydrogen and oxygen gases are then stored in a fuel cell, which uses those two materials to produce electricity, located either on top of a house or beside the house.

Though the leaf is only about the shape of a poker card, scientists claimed that it is promising to be an inexpensive source of electricity in developing countries. "One can imagine villages in India and Africa not long from now purchasing an affordable basic power system based on this technology," said Nocera at a conference of the American Chemical Society.

The artificial leaf is not a new idea. The first artificial leaf was invented in 1997 but was too expensive and unstable for practical use. The new leaf, by contrast, is made of cheap materials, easy to use and highly stable. In laboratory studies, Nocera showed that an artificial leaf prototype (原型)could operate continuously for at least 45 hours without a drop in activity.

The wonderful improvements come from Nocera's recent discovery of several powerful, new and inexpensive catalysts. These catalysts make the energy transformation inside the leaf more efficient with water and sunlight. Right now, the new leaf is about 10 times more efficient at carrying out photosynthesis than a natural one. Be-sides, the device can run in whatever water is available; that is, it doesn't need pure water. This is important for some countries that don't have access to pure water.

With the goal to " make each home its own power station" and" give energy to the poor",scientists believe that the new technology could be widely used in developing countries, especially in India and rural China.
