One day, we were walking in our hometown and saw hundreds of cigarette butts on the ground. They made the town look so ugly that we decided to start a group to make people stop dropping butts. We called it “No Butts About It”. At first, we drew pictures with “The Earth is Not Your Ashtray(烟灰缸)” written on them. We put the pictures around our hometown---in parks, by beaches, and along roads. We wanted to make people understand that dropping butts hurts the environment. Most smokers don’t think that dropping butts hurts the earth. But it does! All rubbish does. Later, we wrote to companies and asked them for money to help us. We used the money to buy ashtrays to give smokers. We wanted smokers to carry the ashtrays with them so they didn’t have to drop butts. At the moment, we are trying to get cigarette companies to put an ashtray in each pack of cigarettes. Some companies want to do it.Many people have s tarted to join our group since it began. Today there are 45 other “No Butts About It” groups in America. And there are even groups in England, Australia and India! Many newspapers have written about my sister and I over the last seven years. And we have won many prizes for our good work.But we are not interested in prizes. We just want to make the earth a better and cleaner place for animals, plants and people. One day it will be.31.“No Butts About It” startedA.seventeen years ago.B. seven years ago.C. seventy years agoD. It’s not mentioned.32.Why did they start the group?A.Because they don’t like cigarette.B.Because they want to make money.C.Because they want people to know them.D.Because they want to protect the environment.33.How many “No Butts About It” groups are there in America?A. 7B. 45C. 46D. 49.34.The writer lives inA.America.B. England.C. Australia.D. India.35.What did the writer do the following EXCEPT ?A.starting a group called “No Butts About It”B.writing to companies to ask them for helpC.asking newspapers to write about her sister and herD.managing to get some cigarette companies to put an ashtray in each cigarette packBIn some science fiction movies, evil robots refuse to die, no matter how hard people fight back.Now science fiction has become science fact. For the first time, scientists have made a robot that can take a beating (挨打) and keep on going. Scientists from Cornell University made the robot, which looks like a spider with four legs.Until now, even the most advanced (先进的) robot was almost certain to break down when it was damaged. That is because its computer inside simply doesn’t know how to make the machine work after its shape has changed.To deal with this problem, the scientists put eight motors (发动机) and two sensors (传感器) that read how the machine is working. They all give signals to the machine’s software. Using this information, the computer can then figure out the machine’s shape at any moment.The new technology is a big advance in robot-making, scientists say, and it’s far from scary. It may someday help scientists create better artificial (假的) arms and legs and give new freedom to people who lose them. It might also help scientists understand how people and animals figure out their own sense of place in space.“It has been difficult to design robot s that can work well when the environment changes or when it’s damaged,” says Olaf Sporns of Indiana University in US. “With this work, we are nearer to solving thisproblem.”36.W hy do robots easily break down when they are damaged?A.They cannot repair themselves.B. The computer has changed a lot.C. They have no computers inside.D.

Older relatives, English teachers and the media always praise him. But when you actually take the time to read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, you find that his work is more wonderful than you could ever imagine.The novel describes a young boy named Tom Sawyer growing up in a small town along the Mississippi River. He explores the countryside on a riverboat with his friends, falls in love with girls, starts secret clubs and searches for treasure. Twain’s id ea of childhood is magical – a time of imagination, wonder and, of course, adventure.More importantly, through the eyes of Tom Sawyer, Twain cleverly makes fun of US culture. For example, Tom hates going to church, and Twain uses scenes of Tom there to mock religion(宗教) and its old traditions.Twain’s writing is full of these kinds of critical (批判的) points about culture and politics(政治). That’s why he is so loved in the US –he wasn’t afraid to state his opinions, and he did so clearly.He also believed strongly in women’s right to vote in elections and gave a famous speech on the subject, called “Votes for Women”, in 1901.“Tom was a great hero once more——the pet of the old, the envy of the young,” Twain writes in Tom Sawyer. But he could just as well be describing himself.41.According to the writer, after reading The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, you are likely to think .A.it’s not worth all the praiseB. it’s as wonderful as you imaginedC. it’s better to read it with teachersD. it’s even better than you imagined42.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A.A brief(简要的) description of the novel.B.Where Twain’s idea of childhood comes from.C.How naughty and adventurous Tom Sawyer is.D.What makes Tom Sawyer’s adventures so wonderful.43.What does the underlined word “mock” mean?A.make changes toB. make fun ofC. give reason s forD. give examples of44.Why is Twain so loved in the US according to the article?A.He supported women’s right to vote.B.He wrote bad things about US wars abroad.C.He criticized American culture and society(社会) clearly and cleverly.D.He showed readers a magical childhood that everyone would love.45.Which is the best title of this passage?A.Mark Twain never stops laughing at US societyB.
