In fact,it is certain15we would not be able to understand it if we heard it today. By the end of1610th century,Old English was the official language of England. The language is made17of an Anglo-Saxon word from the languages of Denmark and Norway. When we speak English today,we sometimes find18hard to decide which words or phrases to use. This is19many words and phrases have similar meanings in English,for example,pick up and lift up. These kinds of pairs developed20each word or phrase came from a different language.Pick came from Anglo-Saxon,and lift from Norse.Ⅳ.阅读理解How to wash clothes in a flashLaundry is never an easy part of housework.But if piles of sweaty T-shirts and smelly socks drive you crazy,then two Chinese scientists might have the answer.Long Mingce and Wu Deyong of Shanghai Jiao Tong University have invented a kind of cotton that cleans itself. “No need for soap or water,〞the scientists say. All you have to do is put the clothes out in the sun.According to the Guardian,this magical self-cleaning ability comes from a special chemical mixture. The material is covered with this mixture. It can breakdown dirt and remove bad smells after only a few hours in the sun.One of the chemicals is called titanium dioxide (二氧化钛).Scientists have known for some time that titanium dioxide can clean fabrics (织物).However,it only works under ultraviolet (紫外的) light and so is not yet widely used-ultraviolet light cannot be seen.“We knew that self-cleaning cotton fabrics with titanium dioxide coating had already been developed,but they cannot work,or they work weakly,under sunlight,〞Long said. “If we want to use the fabrics in daily life,we must develop cotton that cleans itself under daylight.〞The scientists worked hard for years to find a better chemical. Finally,they added silver iodide (碘化银) into the mixture. This made the chemical reactions in sunlight faster. The new mixture is also nearly seven times better than the former one with pure titanium dioxide at removing dirt and killing bacteria (细菌).The experiment was only carried out on cotton clothing. However,according to Long,the technology can be “applied to all kinds of fabrics and their related products. 〞It is also cheap and environmentally friendly,〞he said.The self-cleaning material is not yet ready for the market. Scientists still need to know whether it could harm people. Although titanium dioxide is used in some foods,it can cause health problems if it gets into the lungs. Scientists need to make sure it is safe before we can start to enjoy the benefits of this technology.1.Thanks to this new discovery,we will be able to clean fabrics ________.A.using soap and waterB.using silver iodideC.using sunlightD.using moonlight2.What's the Chinese meaning of the underlined words “break down “in Paragraph 3?A.被打倒B.划分C.出故障D.除掉3.In what way is the new material better than previous materials?A.It works using any kind of light.B.It works more quickly and effectively.C.It is widely found in nature.D.It can be used for all kinds of fabrics.4.What might be a problem with the self-cleaning material?A.It will cause pollution.B.It costs too much to produce.C.It breaks down easily in the sun.D.It might cause health problems.5.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.There may be many other kinds of self-cleaning fabrics in the future. B.We can already buy self-cleaning clothes on the market.C.This is the first time that scientists has discovered titanium dioxide. D.Titanium dioxide is widely used in the food industry.。

life.Many people think that in the future computers will be used in lots of everyday life.It is thought that we won't have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold in shops on the Internet.There will be no more books because we will be able to get all texts from computers.The Internet will be used to play games,see films and buy food.Most telephone calls will be made by computers,too.Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and communicating(交际).Others do not think that computers will replace our old ways.Let's look at books,for example.Some people think that one day we will not readbooks made of paper.Instead,we will buy and read books using computers.We will read texts on small pocket computers.The computers will keep many different books in them at the same time.We won't need to turn lots of pages and paper will be puterized(计算机化)books will be used more and more.Is Internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shop?Many people say it is not.It is a pleasure to go into shops and look at things you want to buy.It is also unlikely that many people will want to read large texts on our computers.Because paper books will perhaps be more friendly.Maybe computers won't change these two habits.36.In Paragraph 1,it is thought people will use computers for________.A.playing games,shopping and making teleph-one callsB.making telephone calls,having meals and seeing filmsC.seeing films,buying food,and going for holidaysD.playing games,making telephone calls and seeing the doctor37.Which reason for using computerized books is NOT said in the passage?A.Computerized books won't be very expensive.B.Computers can keep many different books in them.C.We won't have lots of pages.D.We won't need any paper.38.Paragraph 4 tells________.A.about the old and new ways of shopping andcommunicatingB.if the Internet will change our habitsC.about computerized booksD.about future uses of computers39.The title for this passage is________.A.Computers will Replace Shops and BooksB.Computers Are the FutureC.Computers will Do Everything for ManD.How Computers Change Our HabitsBMost people,when they travel to space,would like to stay in orbit for a few days or more.And this stands to reason,if you're paying $ 20,000 for your trip to orbit! Strain order for tourism to reach its full potential,there's going to be a need for orbital accommodation-or space hotels.What would a space hotel actually be like to visit? Hotels in orbit will offer the services you expect from a hotel-private rooms,meals,bars.But they'll also offer two unique experiences: impressive views -of Earth and space-and the endless entertainment of living in zero gravity-including sports and other activities that make use of this.The hotels themselves will vary greatly-from being quite simple in the early days to huge luxury structure at a later date.It's actually surprising that as later as 1997,very few designs for space hotels were published.This is mainly because those who might be expected to design them haven't expected launch costs to come down far enough to make them possible.Lots of people who've been to space have described vividly what it's like to live in zero gravity.There are obviously all sorts of possibilities for dancing,gymnastics,and zero-G sports.Luckily,you don't need to sleep much living in zero gravity,so you'll have plenty of time for relaxing by hanging out in a bar with a window looking down at the turning Earth below.Of course all good things have come to an end.Unfortunately,and so after a few days you'll find yourself heading back enough you'll be much more expert at exercising in zero gravity than you were when you arrived.You'll be thinking how soon you can save up enough to get back up again-or maybe you should change jobs to get to work in an orbiting hotel.40.When traveling in space,most people would like to stay in orbit for a few days because ________.A.it is expensive to travel in spaceB.they would find the possible life in other starsystemsC.they could enjoy the luxury of space hotelsD.they want to realize the full potential of tourism41.Which of the following is a unique experience that space hotels will offer?A.The gravitational pull.B.The special views.C.The relaxation in a bar.D.The space walk.42.Which of the following is not discussed in the passage?A.When was the space traveling made possible?B.What are the unique experiences that space hotels will offer?C.Why were there not many published designs for space hotels?D.How can the travelers enjoy themselves in space hotels?43.This passage is mainly about ________.A.traveling in spaceB.the ways of living in space hotelsC.zero gravity and space hotelsD.the description of space hotelsCScientists made a great breakthrough this year in England when the first“test-tube”baby was born.The birth was the result of many years of research by doctors.The doctors did the research in order to help the women who cannot give birth to a baby in the normal way.What happened when t he baby was born “from a test tube”?Well,the baby did not literally grow in a test tube.The first stage of the process was that the egg from the woman and the sperm(精子) from the man were put together in the test tube.After all,the embryo(胚胎)was put into the womb(子宫) of a woman.This process was difficult.But it was successful,so the baby was eventually born,like any other,from a woman,only the woman wasn't the baby's real mother,but a sort of “carrier” of a baby produced by other couple.Obviously,this method is helpful to couples who can't have children because of physical problems in the woman.But very difficult moral problems arise in this situation.Take,for instance,a case that happened this year.A couple who wanted a baby advertised for a woman to have a child by the father of the couple.They offered the woman a lot of money.The woman was made pregnant by artificial insemination(人工授精) ;in this case,the woman“employed” to bear the child was its real mother.When the baby was born,the woman refused to give it back to the couple.But,in the eyes of the law,the woman had a right to keep the children because she was its biological mother.You could argue that we should change the law to deal with this kind of situation.In earlier times,there were always healthy babies needing adoption,because family planning methods were not so effective as they are now.These days,however,most of the children who can be adopted are over six years old,often disabled in some way.So a couple who want a young healthy baby cannot always adopt one,this is why the “test-tube” baby is in demand.But is it normally right to us this method? Should we temper with nature in this way? Even if we change the law,would this be the right step to take?44.The birth of the first“test-tube”baby is a great advance ________A.in birth control in EnglandB.on medical science on baby growing in a testtubeC.on the research for babiesD.to women who can't become pregnant45.When we say a baby was born“from a test-tube”,we mean ________.A.the embryo was formed in the test-tubeB.the baby grew in the test-tube before it was bornC.the baby didn't develop in the womb of a womanD.the baby has no biological parents46.According to the law,who has the right to keep the baby produced by the artificial method?A.The couple who want a baby.B.The person who pays money to the real mother.C.The biological mother of the child.D.The father who advertises for a biological mother.47.According to the passage,people need“test-tube”baby because ________.A.family planning methods are not effectiveB.there are so many babies needing adoptionC.they are unwilling to adopt a babyD.they can't always adopt a young healthy babyDThe Day After Tomorro w is a science fiction film that connects with the Greenhouse effect.It describes global warming causes a lot of disasters such as tornados(飓风,龙卷风),snowstorms and hailstorms(冰雹),and eventually leads to an ice age,killing lots of people.Quaid plays a climatologist(气候学家) Jack Hall who goes against the flow as others move south to warmer climes,from Washington,D.C.to New York during a bad snowstorm to find his teenage son Sam (Jake Gyllenhaal)who is trapped in Manhattan's Public Library with his classmate(Emmy Rossum)and some other students who attend the scholastic competition after a tsunami floods the city.The whole story was full of disasters,which makes the atmosphere more thrilling.It can be taken as a prediction of the future,although we don't know when it happens.There are some other laughable views,a Russian freighter floating up Fifth Avenue during a tidal surge,the Statue of Liberty half buried in an icy crust and the “Hollywood” sign crumpling in a Los Angeles tornado,the buses flying through the air,the skyscrapers in New York left only several floors being seen in the snowstorm.There are also several humanity scenes in the film.Jack goes north to rescue his son Sam during the blizzards(暴风雪) ,the Latin America government generously accept the rush people,the scene of Hall's coworker Frank dropping into the ice hole,cutting the line in order not to baffle them,and when Laura is ill,several guys go against the snowstorm searching for penicillin,Hall's wife(Sela Ward)refuses to evacuate the hospital for fear of leaving behind a small cancer-ridden child.All these plots can make people feeling comfortable.It was directed by Roland Emmerich,who is a master at conveying destruction and disaster on a grand scale.Just as his other works,it inherits Roland's style,which always describes catastrophe,humanity,salvation and hope.But some criticize that it is just a copy of his former films,Independence Day (1996) and Godzilla (1998).The film budget of $125 million,yet the actors are not very strong.It was stared by Dennis Quaid,Jake Gyllenhaal,Ian Holm,Sela Ward,Emmy Rossum and Arjay Smith.Some criticize The Day After Tomorrow is nothing more than a big-budgeted B-movie.I think it is a good science fiction film,which can make people ponder.It is a good warning to humankind.Though some may think it is more of a film than reality,but if we continue pouring greenhouse gas to our environment,maybe the scene can become true in the near future.48.If you see buses flying through the air in the film,you probably feel ________.A.afraidB.interestingC.fascinatingD.laughable49.Which of the following scenes does NOT show humanity?A.Jack goes north to rescue his son Sam.B.Dropping into the ice hole,Frank cut the line in order not to baffle others.C.Laura being ill,several guys go against the snowstorm for penicillin.D.The Statue of Liberty half buried in an icy crust.50.Which of the following is WRONG?A.Quaid is Sam's father.B.The“Hollywood”sign crumples in a Los Angeles tornado.C.The Latin America government generously accept the rush people.D.The writer don't think the film is just a big-budgeted B-movie.Ⅳ.任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)Watch out! QRIQ,Sony's robot,is a few steps ahead of you.It can dance and kick a football,and it is the world's first “running” robot.Until now robots could not run because they needed one foot on the floor at all times to remain stable.That all changed when Sony's technology allowed QRIO to run.QRIO might be the world's first running robot,but it won't win in a race.The robot's run is more like a jog.At 23 inches tall and weighing 15 pounds,QRIO can travel 46 feet per minute,which is about 0.5 mph.If QRIO were average human size,it would run a mile in 40 minutes.(Many humans can run a mile in about 10 minutes.) And if QRIO falls,it will get right back up.QRIO is programmed to check its position after a fall.It then turns itself face up and stands up again.QRIO can recognize people's faces and voices.It has a special built-in camera that takes a picture when meeting people.It examines the pictures and remembers people.QRIO even expresses feelings through movements,conversation,and the use of its lights.QRIO is a quite friendly robot.If you meet the robot,it will ask you what kinds of things you like and don't like.QRIO remembers all of the facts,so it can have more conversations with you.The robot already knows tens of thousands of words,but can always learn more.Don't get too excited.This high-tech robot won't be racing to your house any time soon.Sony says it has no immediate plans to sell QRIO.Title:51.________假设你是南昌一中的学生李华,请你以“保护环境,人人有责”为主题,用英语给你校的学生写一份倡议书。
