The physical book is so elegant that it disappears into the background, and what remains is the authors world.Today, we at Amazon are excited to announce Mindle, a wireless, portable reading device with instant access to more than 90,000 books, magazines, and newspapers.Weve been working on Mindle for more than three years. Our top design objective was for Mindle to disappear in your hands to get out of the way so you can enjoy your reading. We also wanted to go beyond the physical book. Mindle is wireless, so whether youre lying in bed or riding a train, you can think of a book, and have it in less than 60 seconds. No computer is needed you do your reading directly from the device.We chose the same wireless technology used in advanced mobile phones. But unlike mobile phones, there are no monthly wireless bills, no service or data plans, and no yearly contracts. There is no software to install. We want you to get lost in your reading and not in the technology.Mindle uses a new kind of display called electronic paper. Sharp and natural with no strong light, reading on Mindle is nothing like reading from a computer screen. Mindle weighs only 10.3 ounces less than a paperback but can carry two hundred books.Enjoy learning about Mindle and many thanks!56. This passage most probably is a (n) _.A. advertisementB. news storyC. lab reportD. letter of thanks57. From the passage we learn that Mindle is a device（设备） which _.A. has neither wires nor weightB. is operated by a computerC. disappears while you readD. can find a book within one minute58. With the device, the reader is able to _.A. enjoy reading when driving a car B. improve reading skillsC. gain access to free softwareD. get rid of heavy books made of paper 59.

The miller at Cresscombe lent him the small cart（运货车）and horse to carry his goods to Christminster, the city of his destination, such a vehicle proving of quite enough size for the teachers belongings. For his only article, in addition to the packing-case of books, was a piano that he had bought when he thought of learning instrumental music. But the eagerness having faded, he had never acquired any skill in playing, and the purchased article had been a permanent trouble to him. The headmaster had gone away for the day, being a man who disliked the sight of changes. He did not mean to return till the evening, when the new teacher would have arrived, and everything would be smooth again. The blacksmith, the farm bailiff and the teacher were standing in confused attitudes in the sitting room before the instrument. The teacher had remarked that even if he got it into the cart he should not know what to do with it on his arrival at Christminster, since he was only going into a temporary(临时的) place just at first. A little boy of eleven, who had been assisting in the packing, joined the group of men, and said, Aunt has got a fuel-house, and it could be put there, perhaps, till youve found a place to settle in, sir.Good idea, said the blacksmith.The smith and the bailiff started to see about the possibility of the suggested shelter, and the boy and the teacher were left standing alone.Sorry I am going, Jude? asked the latter kindly.Tears rose into the boys eyes. He admitted that he was sorry.So am I, said Mr. Phillotson.Why do you go, sir? asked the boy.Welldont speak of this everywhere. You know what a university is, and a university degree? It is the necessary hallmark (标志) of a man who wants to do anything in teaching. My scheme, or dream, is to be a university graduate. By going to live at Christminster, I shall be at headquarters, so to speak, and if my scheme is practicable at all, I consider that being on the spot will afford me a better chance.The smith and his companion returned. Old Miss Fawleys fuel-house was practicable; and she seemed willing to give the instrument standing-room there. So it was left in the school till the evening, when more hands would be available for removing it; and the teacher gave a final glance round.At nine oclock Mr. Phillotson mounted beside his box of books, and waved his friends good-bye.60. It seemed that the teacher _. A. was not getting on well with the headmasterB. had lived a rather simple life in the villageC. was likely to continue to practice playing the pianoD. would get help in the city on arriving there61. The motivation of the teachers moving lay in his _. A. ambitionB. devotionC. admiration D. inspiration62. The boy named Jude may be described as _. A. polite, generous and cheerfulB. active, modest and friendlyC. kind, bright and helpfulD. calm, confident and humorous63. In the passage the writer describes both the teachers _. A. love for music and his dislike for musical instruments B. hard work in the village and his strong interest in city lifeC. friendship with some villagers and also conflicts with othersD. eagerness to go to the city and his love for the village64. Which person does the underlined “his companion” refer to? A. Mr. Phillotson B. Miss Fawley C. The bailiff D.The headmasterCScientists say Californias special landscapes are changing gradually as the world gets warmer. Now, with a new generation of computer models, theyre trying to make clear what those changes will be: Less snow? More wildfires? Fewer animals?The new computer models allow scientists to divide the state into much smaller regions than ever before-just thirty-six square miles. These regional models give scientists a way of draping climate over Californias complex landscape. Scientists want to understand how warming will affect the states people, its economy, and the thousands of species that only live in California. The States Climate Action Team has organized a meeting last month in Los Angeles on the economic effects of these targets.California started the only state-run climate research program three years ago and is spending about$5 million a year on it. The goal of the research is to limit the impact of such changes. California is part of an internationally recognized hot spot of biodiversity that extends north across the Oregon border and south into Baja California. Its home to 4,426 species of plants, nearly half of which are found nowhere else.What happens in California could have broad influence. If California were a nation, it would be the fifth-biggest economy in the world and the 12th-biggest generator of greenhouse gases. Scientists are also looking beyond the greenhouse effect. For instance, urban development warms climate; cities give off more heat than natural areas. Cities also absorb more heat from the sun. This phenomenon is known as the urban heat island effect. 65. The writer intends to tell readers .A. studies on the future wildlife in California by computer B. predicting the future economy of California caused by getting warmer C. a programme to study the future of California carried by the California government D. research on the future effect on California caused by getting warmer by high technology66. The underlined word “generator” in the 6th paragraph probably has the same meaning as .A. producerB. destroyer C. sufferer D.supporter67. Which of the following statements about “urban heat island effect” phenomena is wrong? .A. cities absorb more heat from the sunB. cities give off more heat than natural areasC. warming affects plants and animalsD. urban development warms climate68. There are more than two thousand species of plants .A. that exist only in this area B. that will be harmed by the changing weatherC. that will survive in this area D. that will die out in futureDWith only about 1, 000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone the animal and save the endangered species. Thats a move similar to what a Tex
