curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.it was a strange-looking machine one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked. “its an experimental model,” his father had explained, so dont touch it under any circumstances.” but his fathers warning only served to make mark more curious. without any further thought, mark turned on the power switch. the computer burst into life and seconds later, the screen turned into colours, shifting and changing, and then two big white words appeared in the centre of the screen: “space transporter.” “yes!” mark cried excitedly, “its a computer game. i knew it! dads only been pretending to work. hes really been playing games instead!” a new message appeared on the screen:“enter namesvoyagevoyagemarks finger flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names. “input accepted. start transport program.auto-retrieve initiated(自动回收程序已启动).”the screen turned even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.“i think wed better shut it off, mark,” jason yelled out in terror, reaching for the power switch. a beam(光束) of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen, wrapping the boys in its glow(光芒)，until they themselves seemed to be glowing. then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. and the boys were no longer there. on the screen, the letters changed：“transport successfuldestination: mars. retrieve date: 202541. why did mark touch the computer against his fathers warning?a. he wanted to take a voyage.b. he wanted to practice his skills.c. he was so much attracted by it.d. he was eager to do an experiment.42. where did the boys father most likely work?a. in an electronic factory.b. in a computer company. c. in a scientific research center.d. in an information processing center.43. mark thought “space transporter” on the screen was the name of _.a. a computer gameb. a company website c. a software producerd. an astronomy program44. why did jason want to shut off the computer?a. he was afraid of being scolded.b. he didnt like the loud noise and light.c. he didnt want to play games. d. he was afraid something dangerous might happen.45. what happened to the boys at the end of the story?a. they were blown into the air.b. they were sent to another planet.c. they were hidden in the strong light.d. they were carried away to another country.(b)of all the animals in the animal kingdom, which one (aside from man) is the cleverest?there are several ways of measuring the intelligence of animals. in one test a scientist sets three same cans on a table. while the animal watches, he puts food under one of the cans. then he leads the animal away. some time later, he brings it back to see if it remembers which can has the food. no smelling is allowed; the animal must go directly to the correct can or it fails.this is called a delayed-response test. the idea is to find out how long an animals memory can keep information. the scientists would try showing the cans to the animal one hour later, or two hours later, or even a full day later. they discovered that chimpanzees and elephants have the best memory, and were able to remember the correct can for at least twenty hours. no other animal is close. dogs came next, but they only remember for nine hours.to settle the matter, the scientists designed a huge maze (迷宫) and ran the chimps and elephants through it. the maze was very difficult, with many blind paths and dead ends. it took the chimps ten minutes to find their way out. the elephants needed half an hour. even allowing for the elephants slower rate of speed, the test shows that chimpanzees are the cleverest animals. from this and other tests, the scientists drew the following conclusion: an animals intelligence depends on the size of its brain in proportion (比例) to the size of its body. the elephants brain weighs ten pounds. but this is only 1/600th of its 6,000 pounds body. a chimps brain weighs about one pound, or 1/120th of its total body weight. so in proportion to its body size, the chimp has four times as much brain as the elephant-more brain for less body. the chimp is the champ!46. which is the best title?a. the elephants memoryb. the cleverest animalc. judging intelligenced. the chimps brain 47. the main idea of this passage is that _. k*s5ua. there are several ways of measuring the intelligence of animalsb. chimps and elephants have the best memoryc. intelligence tests show that the chimp is the cleverest animal d. the scientists designed a huge maze and ran the
