They allow independent travelers to get local knowledge of places they are visiting, from the official to the unusual. Meanwhile, hi-tech developments are creating new ways for us to map the world. Here are two of our favorites;Green MapsGreen Maps allows people to share with the world their knowledge of environmentally friendly places and attractions in the local areas. Users add information with a set of icons（图标）,makingit easy to read any map ,whatever thenationalities of those who produce it . At presentthere are over five hundredMap projects being developed in 54 countries Green Maps advertised idea is “thinkglobal, map local” .It is a wonderfulway ofgaining all sorts ofa place , ranging from community garden to good places of bird watching.Green Maps is not specifically intended for travelers. Not all of its maps are online, so it may be necessary for some users to communicate with producers through the Green Maps website.Maps MashupsMany people use online maps developed by Google, but not many know about the mashups of them. Working in a similar way to Green Maps, Maps Mashups allows people to add icons of their own to existing maps to express a certain topic. The mashups is so called because it combines all the knowledge you could ever need. It ranges from the extremely useful, such as where all the World Heritage Sites are, to the most bizarre （古怪的），such as where Americas munkest cities are. With the mashups added to the basic Google Maps, a multi-layered (多层的) map can be created.44. According to the passage, which of the following is a characteristic of Green Maps?A. Aiming at environmental protection.B. Introducing local attractions with icons.C. Offering advice to independent travelers.D. Collecting icons worldwide for local maps.45.

They are created by local people.B. They are environmentally friendly.C. Users can edit maps on the Internet.D. Users need to communicate with produces.CAn idea that started in Seattles public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools.The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起）the If All of Seattle Read the Same Book project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.In Chicago, the mayor(市长）appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the One Book, One Chicago program. As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city.Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.The only problem arose in New York , where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致）can be achieved .Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point ,putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.As Nancy points out , the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process. or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.48. What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?A. To invite authors to guide readers.B. To encourage people to read and share.C. To involve people in community service.D. To promote the friendship between cities.49. Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?A. They had little interest in reading.B. They were too busy to read a book.C. They came from many different backgroundsD. They lacked support from the local government50. According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?A. In large communities with little sense of unityB. In large cities where libraries are far from homeC. In medium-sized cities with a diverse populationD. In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached51.The underlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph 7 probably meanA. exchanged ideas with each otherB. discussed the meaning of a wordC. gained life experienceD. used the same language52. According to Nancy, the degree of success of the project is judged byA. the careful selection of a proper bookB. the growing popularity of the writersC. the number of people who benefit from reading.D. the number of books that each person reads.DAustralian scientists are trying to give kangaroo-style stomachs to cattle and sheep in a bid to cut the emission of greenhouse gases blamed for global warming.Thanks to special bacteria in their stomachs, kangaroo farts contain no methane（甲烷）and scientists want to transfer that bacteria to cattle and sheep who emit large quantities of the harmful gas.While the usual image of greenhouse gas pollution is a billowing smokestack pushing out carbon dioxide, livestock passing wind contribute a surprisingly high percentage of total emissions in some countries.Fourteen percent of emissions from all sources in Australia is from enteric methane from cattle and sheep, said Athol Klieve, a senior research scientist with the Queensland state government.And if you look at another country such as New Zealand, which has got a much higher agricultural base, theyre actually up around 50 percent, he said.Researchers say the bacteria also makes the digestive process much more efficient and could potentially save millions of dollars in feed costs for farmers.But it will take researchers at least three years to isolate the bacteria, before they can even start to develop a way of transferring it to cattle and sheep.Another group of scientists, meanwhile, has suggested Australians should farm fewer cattle and sheep and just eat more kangaroos.The idea is controversial（争议）, but about 20 percent of health conscious Australians are believed to eat the national symbol already.Its low in fat, its got high protein levels and its very clean in the sense that basically its the ultimate free range animal（散养动物）, said Peter Ampt of the University of New South Waless institute of environmental studies.53. According to the passage, global warming is now mainly caused by _ .A. methane B. carbon dioxide C. livestock passing wind D. not mention in this passage54. What does the underlined phrase “the idea”（paragraph 9）refer to?A. Australians should give kangaroo-style stomachs to cattle and sheep.B. The bacteria could make the digestive process much more efficient.C. Australians should farm fewer cattle and sheep and just eat more kangaroos.D. The bacteria could potentially save millions of dollars in feed costs for farmers.55. Some Australians begin to eat kangaroos because _.A. The kangaroos farts（放屁）contain no methane B. The kangaroos have a special bacteriaC. The kangaroos are the national symbol in AustraliaD. The kangaroos are low in fat and high in protein56. How will Australian scientists solve the problem of global warming?A. Eating more kangaroos. B. Killing more cattle and sheep.C. Letting cattle and sheep pass less wind.D. Transferring the special bacteria in kangaroos stomachs to cattle and sheep.EThe next generation telephone is called Superphone or personal Communication Network (PCN). Your superphone goes wherever you go, in your pocket. You can use it in the street, in an aeroplane, a boat, or a taxi; you can call from anywhere on the globe to anywhere else. Calls travel at the speed of light, via satellites using ultraviolet, high-frequency wave bands and each communication is automatically billed to your account.This new phone is the size and shape of a billfold(皮夹). You unfold it to use it., making it long enough to reach from your ear to your mouth. There is a miniaturized touch pad, on which to enter the number you are calling. There is also a tiny liquid crystal screen on which you can read weather, news or financial reports. These news items are constantly updated by the company that sells the service. Letter keys on the touch pad also allow you to use this electronic marvel as a computer or word processor. You can plug it into your large home or office computer in order to transfer any data that you feed in during a business trip. The PCN also stores any useful information of your own that you might need as you travel, such as the names, addresses and phone numbers of several hundred people, important meetings, flight details and so on. When you need information, you simply call it up on the screen. You can even use your PCN to activate electronically controlled equipment at home. For example, you could switch your oven on or off, start the sprinkler system in your garden during a dry spell, get your video recorder to record a show on television, turn off the central heating, and so on. All of this from thousands of miles away, perhaps from the back of a camel in the desert. Prototypes are already being trialed. In spite of the complex technology, they will be cheap because of the enormous sales t
