Home Alone 4

　　Starring French Stewart , Mike Weinberg , Missi Pyle , Barbara Babcock , Jason Beghe , Claire Carey and Joanna Going.

　　Christmas this year looks gloomy to Kevin. His parents have separated, and he decides without careful thinking to spend the holidays with his dad, Peter, and his dad's rich girlfriend, Natalie.

Even better , the serious butler （男管家） , Prescott , and sweet housekeeper, Molly, are at Kevin's beck and call. But just as Kevin settles into his wonderful surroundings , Peter and Natalie leave to pick up some royal houseguests at the airport , including an 11-year-old crown prince.

　　In their absence , the snaky Marv and Vera break in , intending to kidnap （绑架） the crown prince. But they didn't realize they'd be facing off with Kevin instead and, while it may not be his house , he still has to protect it. With the help of the house's high-tech. magics , Kevin repeatedly prevents them by turning the tables （ and the swinging bookcases, shower jest and chandelier） on them.

　　Mary Masterman hasn't decided where she will attend college, but when she does, she'll have plenty of money to pay for it．The 17-year-old took home a ＄100,000 scholarship Tuesday as the top winner of the 2007 Intel Science Talent Search．

　　"It was a complete surprise," said the senior at Westmoore High School in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma．"I wasn't expecting it．" Masterman earned first place at this year's competition by building a low-budget spectrograph(摄谱仪)－ an instrument that identifies the unique characteristics, or "fingerprints," of different molecules．Spectrographs are used in a variety of fields, including astronomy, medicine, and law enforcement．They can sense the presence of explosives or drugs, and they can also help determine the age of a piece of artwork．

　　Normally, the cost of a spectrograph can run as high as ＄100,000．Mary, however, built her device－which she crafted from lenses, a laser, aluminum(铝)tubing, and a camera－for just ＄300．"I wanted to build one that was lower-costing so it would be more available to anyone interested in spectrography," she said．

　　Sticking to a budget was only half the battle．Getting the machine to work was another challenge．"I had to keep coming up with creative ways to adjust or change something," Mary admitted．"It took three months to build and another three months before it actually functioned properly．"

　　Mary competed with more than 1,700 other high school seniors in this year's science challenge．Forty finalists were invited to Washington, D．C．, where they presented their projects at the National Institute of Science．In all, 10 students took home awards for their innovative projects．

第二部分阅读理解
Can you imagine a classroom which misses the one thing that’s long been considered a necessary part to reading and writing? Paper. No notebooks, no textbooks, no test paper. Nor are there any pencils or pens, which always seem to use up ink at the critical(关键的) moment.
Such a “paperless classroom” is one that more and more schools are trying to get.　　
Students never do any handwriting in the class. Instead, they use specially-designed computers. The teacher downloads texts from Internet libraries and sends them to every student’s personal computer.　　
Having computers also means that students can use the Internet. They can look up information on any subject they’re studying, from maths to social science.　　
A middle school teacher Judy Harrell in Florida, US, described how her class used the Web to learn about the war in Iraq in 2003.　　
“We could touch every side of the country through different sites: from the forest to refuges(难民营),” she said. “Using a book that’s three or four years old is impossible.”　　
And exams can go online too. At a high school in Tennessee, US, students take tests on their own computers. The teacher records the grades on the network for everyone to see and then copies them to his own electronic grade book.　　
A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper. High school teacher Stephanie Sorrell in Kentucky, US, said she used to give about 900 pieces of paper each week to each student.　　
“Think about the money and trees we could save with the computers,” she said.　　
But, with all this technology, there’s always the risk that the machines will break down. So, in case of a power failure or technical problems, paper textbooks are still widely available for these hi-tech students.
41．What does the underlined sentence “use up ink at the critical moment” in the 1st paragraph mean?
A．Pens use ink, while pencils don’t.
B．Pens get lost easily at any moment.
C．Pens may have little or no ink at the key moment.
D．Pens may not write well at the critical moment.
42．What did the middle school teacher show while using the example of her class?
A．the Web could take them everywhere.
B．the Web taught them a lot.
C．the Web is a good tool for information.
D．the Web, better than the textbooks, can give the latest information.
43．What does the phrase “break down” in the last paragraph mean?
　 A．Break up.        B．Stop working.       C．Fall down.     D．Lose control.


第三部分：阅读理解(第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
When we think about giving help to developing countries,we often think about giving money so that these countries can build schools and hospitals ,buy food and medicine, or find clean water supplies.These seem to be most important basic needs of the people we are trying to help. However, it's far from enough. We have to come up with 想出）some better ideas to help them.
I was very surprised, then ,when I read about a plan to make cheap laptop computers for children in developing countries.A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer, which can run without electricity. He decided to invent this computer after he visited a school in Cambodia.
The laptop which Mr. Negroponte  has designed is a little different from the normal laptop computers you can buy in shops. One difference is that it will be covered in rubber(橡皮,橡胶) so that it is very strong and won't be damaged easily. As electricity supply can be a problem in developing countries, the computer also has a special handle(手柄) so that children can wind (转动)the computer up to give it extra power when needed.
These special laptop computers will cost less than $100 and Mr. Negroponte wants to build as many as 15 million machines in the first year of production.The idea is that these computers will help the children's education as they will be able to access the Internet. These computers might not help the people in developing countries immediately,but by improving children's education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in the long term.
Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that they can be used again. In the UK, and,probably in many other countries too,millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year.The waste created by throwing away these old phones is very bad for the environment, so it seems to be an excellent idea to recycle them. In this way we shall be able to achieve two important goals at the same time. We will reduce the waste we  produce and help others. In other words, we will be able to " kill two birds with one stone ",  and that is always a good thing.
56.  It's an excellent idea to recycle old mobile phones because _______.
A. it reduces waste and can help others 
B. it prevents waste and can earn lots of money
C. it can send the waste produced by developed countries to other countries
D. it is good for the environment and very educative for phone users
57.  The author gives the example of Mr. Negroponte's cheap computers _______.
A. to show what high tech can bring us.
B. to illustrate the kindness of people in the developed countries
C. to show how to find business opportunities in developing countries
D. to give an example of how to help developing countries
58. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Mr. Negroponte's cheap computers?
A. His computers don’t need any power to function well.
B. His computers are covered with rubber so that they are very cheap.
C. His computers will help children in developing countries to have better education.
D. His computers will help people in developing countries to find all the solutions.
59. Which of the following can be usedｏreplace the underlined word in paragraph３？

A．blowB．turnC．pushD．lift
60.  Where does this passage probably come from?
A. A magazine     B. A newspaper      C. A lecture     D. An advertisement
