2once upon a time there was a monster（怪兽）. he was very ugly and had no friends. no one wanted to talk to him. even other monsters thought he was ugly. he lived alone and was very unhappy because he was so lonely. “i wish i had a friend.” he said to himself every day, “one friend would be enough. someone to talk to.”he wrote a letter to a magazine. the magazine gave people advice. “dear editor,” he wrote, “i am a ugly monster. how can i find a friend?”“dear monster,” the editor replied, “advertise for a friend in this magazine.” the monster wrote an advertisement. “monster wants a friend,

3 a flock of hungry pigeons were flying across the sky in search of food. having traveled a long distance, they felt tired and settled down on a tree. just below the tree, they saw grains strewn (撒满) all over the ground. the pigeons were happy to have found enough food to eat. all the pigeons came down from the tree and started eating the grains. as they were doing so, a huge net fell on them and trapped them all. the pigeons were taken aback. they noticed a hunter sitting at a distance from the tree, a bow and arrow in hand. the pigeons realized it was the hunter who had trapped them in the net. the hunter got up and began to move towards the pigeons. the leader of the pigeons spoke, “friends, we are in great trouble. the hunter will catch us if we do not act swiftly in a few seconds. there is only one option available at this moment. let all of us use our force together and fly up along with the net. if all of us use our force and fly together, we can fly carrying the net along with us. let us start now.” all the pigeons agreed with him and flew high carrying the net along with them. after traveling enough distance away from the hunter, the pigeons settled on a tree and carefully came out of the net one by one and thus escaped the evil design of the hunter.passage4scientists are developing a new kind of machine to take the place of humans. these machines can do jobs in places that are too dangerous for humans. for example, they are being developed to work in nuclear power center, deep under the oceans and in outer space.john marrit, a psychologist(心理学家) in williamsburg massachusetts, helped develop the new machine. this is how they work. a machine is placed in an area far away from the person who operates it. the person wears special hard hat with television screens and sound equipment. the screens and sound equipment let the person see and hear exactly what the machine is seeing and hearing. mr. marrit says this gives the person the feeling of being in the same place as the machine. the idea, he says, is being there without going there. the person uses an electronic control to make the machine move. the machine copies the persons movements exactly. if the person raises his right arm, the machine raises the right arm, too. this means an expert can do a dangerous job while staying in the safe place. for example, a person can direct the machine to destroy a bomb without going near the bomb himself.【小题1】the new kind of machine being introduced in the passage is _.a. in existenceb. only an ideac. being tried outd. being researched and developed【小题2】the machine _.a. follows the persons orderb. is controlled by a computerc. does exactly what the person does d. is controlled by a television on the persons head【小题3】the difference between such a new machine and a robot is that _.a. the new machine is more difficult to make than a robot b. the new machine is more difficult to be controlled c. a robot is controlled by man indirectlyd. a robot cant be used in places too dangerous or faraway七选五 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 it is not so easy to disagree with your parentshere are a few quick tips on how to
