from his owners hand, swim through hoops and tubes, and even put a miniature soccer ball into a goal! it all started when kyle pomerleau, 9, won two goldfish at a school fair. soon he noticed that the fish would react to his movements whenever he came near the tank. he wondered if they were smarter than hed realized. he and his dad decided to train albert. they used techniques that work for other animals like dogs and killer whales. “we wanted to show that fish could be interesting pets, not just decorations,” said kyles father, dean pomerleau. the pomerleaus bought a “finger soccer” kit (成套用具) from a store and put weights on the tiny net and ball so that they would sink to the bottom of the tank. first albert earned a food reward every time he swam toward the net. this training technique is called positive reinforcement. the fish likes the treat, so it learns to repeat the action to get additional treats. once albert learned to go toward the net, kyle and his dad added a new step ball handling. eventually albert learned to push a ball into a goal. the trainer learns patience and persistence, the father-son team says. it may take five or six training sessions a day for three weeks to teach a fish to swim through a hoop. just like kids, each individual fish learns at different speeds! the pomerleaus set up a website so other people could see how much fun they were having with their fish project. they heard from so many people who wanted to train their pet fish that the pomerleaus started fish school, a small business that sells fish-training manuals (指南) and kits. 56. which of the following statements is true according to the passage?a. albert einstein in this story is a great scientist.b. the pomerleaus spent much money training the goldfish at first.c. all fish like swimming through a hoop or pushing a ball into a goal.d. the pomerleaus benefited a lot from training pet goldfish.57. the underlined word “miniature” in paragraph 1 probably means “_”.a. tiny b. giant c. popular d. beautiful58. it can be inferred from the passage that _.a. the pomerleaus are not willing to help goldfish ownersb. albert earned a toy reward every time he learned what he was being taughtc. many people are interested in training their pet goldfishd. all animals can be trained to learn new tricks59. what is the best title of the passage?a. methods of training goldfish.b. pet fish learn new tricks.c. a newly-started fish school.d. the pomerleaus small business.a lot of grown-ups worry that spending too much time playing video games isnt good for a kids health. but some doctors have noticed that kids who bring their handheld game players to the hospital seem less worried about being there. these patients also seem to experience less pain when they are concentrating on a superhero adventure or a car race. at the johns hopkins childrens center in baltimore, maryland, young patients are finding hospital visits easier to deal with, thanks to a test program called the hospital-based online pediatric environment (hope). patients in hope have a life-threatening condition where their kidneys (肾) no longer clean wastes from their blood. to get their blood cleaned, these kids must be hooked up to dialysis machines (透析机) at the hospital three times a week, for at least three hours each time. hope allows kids to play online sports, racing, and adventure games with each other. eventually they will be able to connect with kids in other hospitals who are undergoing the same procedure (程序). “we want to use the power of the internet to bring together kids who feel they are isolated by their illness, and let them know they are not alone,” said arun mathews, the doctor who heads the program. he loves video games himself and got the idea to connect kids all over the country. many researchers elsewhere are testing video programs that might help young patients. for example, nine-year-old ben duskin of san francisco, california, who was struggling with cancer helped to design a video game where players get rid of cancer cells. thats all great news, because doctors already know that reducing pain and worry helps patients recover faster. 60. the underlined word “isolated” in paragraph 6 can be replaced by .a. separated b. controlled c. conquered d. caused61. the authors main purpose in writing the passage is to show that .a. video games are very popular with sick kidsb. young patients are encouraged to play video gamesc. playing video games is beneficial under certain conditionsd. parents should care about childrens interests62. which of the following statements is not the sick childrens purpose of playing online video games?a. to experience less pain. b. to connect with kids in other hospitals.c. to know they are not alone.d. to design video games.63. what is the best title of the passage?a. video games and young patients.b. video games may help young patients relieve pain and worry.c. the power of the internet.d. the advantages and disadvantages of video games.fans of the internet are fond of describing it as an engine of freedom, opportunity and wealth creation. in many ways they are right: the internet can be a limitless classroom for those ignored by formal education, and a marketplace and a discussion place for people not included in economic or political life. the problem is that the people who could benefit most are the least likely to be connected. the digital divide between the rich and the poor prevents the benefits from flowing to the vast majority in the developing world, making sure that familiar inequalities continue in the virtual world. one technology that promises to help bridge the divide both at home and abroad is wireless mesh networking. in basic terms, it links computers together and connects them to the internet. in practice, it can be used to build large networks far more quickly and cheaply than has ever been possible. networks are also providing web connections for people in developing countries that have never had effective telephone networks. the special nature of the mesh makes it easy to start small and expand where necessary. as the mesh becomes denser, its stability increases. they are also relatively cheap to set up. unlike phone or cable-based internet systems, mesh networks require less physical infrastructure (基础设施) and can be fixed quickly and cheaply. the growth of meshing will undoubtedly present new challenges. one difficulty is the law, both in the developing world, where bureaucracy (官僚作风) can prove difficult, and the developed world, where telecoms companies are strongly against citywide mesh networks affecting their business. wireless security will also be a concern for some.64. what does the passage mainly talk about?a. a new wireless technology connects the internet. b. wireless networks will connect all the countries around the world.c. the inequality between rich and poor countries of getting information is widening.d. an unusual way of connecting computers could benefit people who arent online at present.65. which of the following statements is not the difficulty that the growth of meshing meets?a. in developing countries, the local government cant work effectively.b. in developed countries, some companies may be against citywide mesh networks.c. some people worry about the safety of the wireless networks.d. the technology of mesh is new and cant be used in everyday life.66. from paragraph 1 we can not infer that _.a. people who have no access to formal education have the chance to learn on the internetb. people can make money from the economic activities on the internetc. some people consider the internet an engine to manage their everyday lifed. people can use the internet to discuss political problems67. which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?a. the people who need the internet most have the least chance to be connected.b. wireless networks can connect poor people who have no telephone networks.c. it is cheaper to set up the mesh than phone or cable-based internet systems.d. the mesh can be used to build large networks far more quickly and cheaply.even plants can run a fever, especially when theyre attacked by insects or disease. but unlike humans, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet above them. a decade ago, adopting the infrared (红外线) scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist stephen paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. the goal was to let farmers spray pesticide (杀虫剂) exactly rather than rain poison plants on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that dont have pest problems. even better, paleys remote scanning services company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat sent out by crops. the data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where plants were running “fevers”. farmers could then spot spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would. the bad news is that paleys company closed down in 1984, after only three years. farmers resisted the new technology and long-term backers (资助者) were hard to find. but with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and improvement in infrared scanning, paley hopes to get back into operation. agriculture experts have no doubt that the technology works. “this technique can be used on 75 percent of the agricultural land in the united states,” says george oerther of texas a&m. ray jackson, who recently retired from the department of agriculture. it also thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. 68. plants will send out an increased amount of heat when they are _.a. sprayed with pesticides b. facing an infrared scannerc. in poor physical condition d. exposed to excessive sun rays69. farmers purpose of using infrared scanning is to _.a. estimate the damage to the crops b. measure the size of the affected areac. draw a color-coded map d. locate the problem area70. farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by _.a. relying on spot spraying b. consulting infrared scanning expertsc. transforming poisoned rain d. detecting crop problems at an early stage71. the application of the infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with difficulties mainly because of _.a. the lack of official support b. its slow improvementc. the lack of financial support d. its failure to help increase production72. the infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of _.a. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produceb. growing concern about the excessive use of pesticides on cropsc. the forceful promotion by the department of agricultured. full support from agricultural expertshave you ever wanted to travel back through time and see what life was like at the dawn of man? well, museums can make history come alive. and one museum in particular can take you on an exciting journey from the beginning of human culture to the present day. it is the british museum. being one of the largest museums in the world, it is home to over 7 million objects from all the worlds continents. while most of us may not have the opportunity to visit london, we can catch a glimpse of the treasures it holds in beijing. more than 100 cultural relics will be on display in the palace museum. named “britain and the world”, a range of pencil sketches (素描), watercolor paintings, sculptures and many other objects have traveled to china. there will be several chinese objects on show. but “they were obtained by the british museum before 1830 mainly by trade,” said ma jige, deputy director of the exhibition department of the palace museum. in fact, there are more than 23,000 chinese relics in the british museum, including national treasures like gems (宝石), artwork and ancient bronze ware objects. the museum is famed for its exquisite chinese paintings. picture of lady
