In many high schools,there are strict rules about using mobile phones. If your phone rings in class,for example,the teacher will be very angry.

Every mobile phone has a ringtone (铃声). It tells you that someone is calling you. Now,there is a ringtone called “mosquitotone (蚊子铃声)”. Using it,students can receive calls and text messages (短信) in class but the teacher will not realize what is happening. How?

Mosquitotone has a special sound. Only children and teenagers can hear it. As we get older,we are unable to hear some sounds with high frequencies (频率). As a result,a child or teenager can hear the mosquitotone ringtone, but its_inaudible_to someone 20 or older.

But sometimes,people over 20 can hear the ringtone. One British student’s phone uses mosquitotone. In class,the student’s phone rang. The 32­year­old teacher looked at the student and became unhappy. “I heard that. You know the rule:no mobile phone in class.”

Not all the students are interested in mosquitotone. Jerry Jones,a high school student of 17,says,“Using mosquitotone too often is bad for our hearing. I may use it for pleasure,but not in class. It’s unfair to the teachers!”

What do parents think of mosquitotone?“I think it is perfect for places like movie theaters,” says Connie Neeson,44.“Think about it. Yon’re watching a film and someone’s mobile phone rings. Mosquitotone is good because many people don’t hear it. However,it also has a bad influence on their study if students use it in class.”

1.Mosquitotone works because ________.

A. it is very loud                  B. it has no sound

C. it has a beautiful sound         D. it uses high frequencies

2.The under lined part “its_inaudible_to” means “________”.

A. it can’t be seen by             B. it can’t be heard by

C. it isn’t popular with           D. it isn’t healthy for

3.The 32­year­old teacher felt unhappy because the student ________.

A. was late for class  B. didn’t do his homework

C. couldn’t answer her question          D. was using a mobile phone in class

4.Connie Neeson thinks that mosquitotone ________.

A. has no bad influence             B. is unfair to the teachers

C. has its advantage and disadvantage  D. can’t be used in any public place

     All of us know trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they give us wood and other
products, they give us shade, and the most important of all, they help to prevent droughts and floods.
     In many parts of the world, however, people have not realized the importance of trees to us.
     Two thousand years ago, a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build its warships, with
which it gained itself an empire (帝国). It gained the empire, but without its trees, its soil became hard
and poor. When the empire fell into pieces, the home country found itself faced by floods and hunger.
     Even when a government realizes the importance of forests, it is difficult for it to make villagers see
this. The villagers want wood to cook their food, and they can earn money by making things or selling
wood to the town people. They are usually too lazy or too careless to plant and look after new trees. So
unless the government does something to control, and also to educate the people, the forests will slowly
disappear.
1. The most important service of trees is that _______.
A. they help people to get rich
B. they provide people with shade
C. they help to prevent droughts and floods
D. they can be used to build warships
2. The empire fell into pieces because _______.
A. it had lost all of its warships
B. it couldn't provide its people with enough money

3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Many people haven't realized the importance of forests.
B. The government should do something to protect the forests.
C. The empire became rich and strong with its powerful warships.
D. People often don't take good care of the new trees they have planted.
4. The forests will disappear if _______.
A. the government realizes the importance of the forests
B. the villagers realize the importance of the forests
C. the government doesn't do something to control or to educate the people
D. the villagers don't cut trees down to make money
5. The writer's purpose in writing the text is _______.
A. to give us advice on how to protect forests
B. to tell the story of the empire two thousand years ago
C. to call on people to do something to protect forests
D. to tell the people to plant as many trees as possible

        We have known for a long time that flowers of different plants open and close at different time of day.
This is so familiar that there seems to be no need to ask the reason for it. Yet no one really understands why
flowers open and close like this at particular times. The process (过程) is not as simple as we might think, as
recent experiments have shown. In one study, flowers were kept in constant (连续的) darkness. We might
expect that the flowers, without any information about the time of day, did not open as they normally do. In
fact, they continued to open at their usual time. This suggests that they have some mysterious (神秘的) way
of knowing the time. Their sense of time does not depend on information from the outside world; it is, so to
speak, inside them, a kind of "inner clock".
         This discovery (发现) may not seem to be very important. However, it was later found that not just
plants but also animals -including man -have this "inner clock" which controls the working of their bodies and
influences (影响) their activities. Men, then, are also influenced by this mysterious power. Whether we wish
it or not, it affects such things in our life as our need for sleep, our need for food.
         In the past, this did not matter very much because people lived in natural condition. In the modern
world, things are different; now there are spacemen, airplane pilots and, in ordinary life, a lot of people who
have to work at night. It would be very useful, then, to know more about the "inner clock". Such ordinary
things as flowers might help us understand more about ourselves.
1. A recent experiment showed that _______.
[     ]
A. different flowers open and close at different times of day
B. for their opening and closing, flowers do not need information from the outside world
C. flowers are influenced by weak light even when they are in a dark room
D. flowers can be used for telling the time
2. The "inner clock" _______.
[     ]
A. is an unimportant discovery
B. is only found in animals
C. has not been understood by far
D. has an effect on human life
3. Further study of the "inner clock" will be useful because             .
[     ]
A. it might help us in some way
B. we do not yet understand plants and animals well enough
C. the number of spacemen and airplane pilots is fast increasing
D. we should try to live more naturally than we do now
4. Kept in constant darkness, flowers _______.
[     ]
A. will not open or close as usua
B. will not open any longer
C. will open as they do in natural conditions
D. will always remain in full blossom (开花)
5. ______ have a mysterious power of knowing time without information from the outside world.
[     ]
A. Animals including man as well as plants
B. All living things except man
C. Flowers are the only things in the world that
D. Neither animals nor plants
