produced the first italian typewriter. today the companys head office is still in ivrea, near turin, but the company is much larger than it was in those days and there are offices all around the world.by 1930 there was a staff of 700 and the company turned out 13,000 machines a year. some went to customers in italy, but olivetti exported more typewriters to other countries.camillos son, adriano, started working for the company in 1924 and later he became the boss. he introduced a standard speed for the production line and he employed technology and design specialists. the company developed new and better typewriters and then calculators (计算器). in 1959 it produced the ella computer system. this was the first mainframe (主机) computer designed and made in italy.after adriano died in 1960, the company had a period of financial problems. other companies, especially the japanese, made faster progress in electronic technology than the italian company.in 1978, carlo de benedetti became the new boss. olivetti increased its marketing and service networks and made agreements with other companies to design and produce more advanced office equipment. soon it became one of the worlds leading companies in information technology and communications. there are now five independent companies in the olivetti group -one for personal computers, one for other office equipment, one for systems and service, and two for telecommunications.56. from the text we learn that_.a. by 1930 olivetti produced 13,000 typewriters a yearb. olivetti earned more in the 1960s than in the 1950sc.

shakespeares world welcome to the world-famous house where william shakespeare was born in l564 and where he grew up. the property (房产) remained in the ownership of shakespeares family until 1806.the house has welcomed visitors traveling from all over the world for over 250 years. enter through the visitors centre and see the highly-praised exhibition shakespeares world, a lively and full introduction to the life and work of shakespeare. stand in the rooms where shakespeare grew up. discover examples of furniture and needlework from shakespeares period. enjoy the traditional english garden, planted with trees and flowers mentioned in the poets works.the birthplace is within easy walking distance of all the car parks shown on the map; nearest is windsor street (3 minutes walk).the

you still remember the interesting question: why did the chicken cross the road? to get to the other side. most people know this joke. but recently, some people have been much more concerned with how the grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road. millions of animals die each year on us roads, the federal highway administration reports. in fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat exist in the us today. the main reason? road kill. “ecopassages” may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. they are paths both over and under roads. these ecopassages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid human conflicts, said jodi hilty of the wildlife conservation society.but do animals actually use the ecopassages? the answer is yes. paul beier of northern arizona university found foot marks left by mountain lions on an ecopassage that went under a highway. this showed that the lion used the passage. builders of some ecopassages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. animals seem to be catching on. animals as different as salamanders and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses. the next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around.you might see an animal overpass!63.the writer uses the example of ocelots to show that _.a. wild animals have become more dangerousb. the driving conditions have improved greatlyc. the measure for protecting wildlife fails to workd. an increasing number of animals are killed in road accidents64. from the news story, we know an ecopassage is _ .a. an underground path for carsb. a fence built for the safety of the areac. a bridge for animals to get over a riverd. a pass for animals to cross the road64.when the writer says that animals seem to be catching on, he means _.a. animals begin to realize the danger on the roadb. animals begin to learn to use ecopassagesc. animals are crossing the road in groupsd. animals are increasing in number66.the writer asks visitors and drivers to look around when traveling because .a. wild animals may attack carsb. wild animals may jam the roadc. they may see wild animals in the parkd. they may see wild animals on ecopassagesdhow would you like to sleep with one half your brain asleep and the other half awake? dolphins sleep this way. recently, scientists at indiana state university have discovered that ducks sleep this way too. they found that ducks sleep half awake so they can rest and watch for danger at the same time.after putting their ducks in a row and videotaping them, some researchers found ducks on the end of each row spent more time asleep with one eye open, apparently looking for predators.“the more the ducks felt threatened, the more they slept with one eye open,” said lead author niels c. rattenborg, a graduate student at indiana state university,terre haute. “the unique aspect is not that they do it, but that they control it. when they sleep at the edge of a group, they tend to realize greater danger, so they spend more time sleeping with one half of their brain.” ducks with one eye open were still awake enough to detect predators, said the authors of the study, which appears today in the journal nature.the researchers studied four groups of four ducks held in plastic boxes, which were arranged in a row. ducks on the end were found to sleep with one eye open 31.8 per cent of the time, compared to 12.4 percent of the time for ducks in the central position.also, ducks in the central position did not open one eye more than the others, while ducks on each end kept the eye facing away from the group open 86.2 per cent of the time. brain wave readings of the ducks showed that the half of the brain receiving signals from the closed eye indicated that half of the brain was sleeping. signals from the half of the brain receiving signals from the open eye showed a state between fully awake and asleep.67. it was discovered that .a. most people would like to be half asleep b. ducks can sleep half awakec. dolphins sleep on their way d. ducks have different sleeping habits from each other 68. the under lined word “predator” is most likely to mean .a. an animal that hunts, kills and eats other animalsb. a human being who looks after and feeds ducksc. a scientist who does research work on animalsd. an animal that is likely to be friends with ducks 69. ducks at the end of each row sleep with one eye open because .a. they are looking for foodb. they want to enjoy the sceneryc. they are watching out for dangerd. they are unique in their sleeping habit 70. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. ducks on the northern end of a row would keep their eye facing the south open.b. ducks with less sense of duty usually choose to stay in the center of a row.c. ducks with one eye open at the edge can still enjoy a certain degree of sleep.d. a video tape recorder was the only electronic device used in the experiment. 第二节（共5 小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）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。envy the kids at school who are smarter than you and seem to learn more quickly? dont worry
