throughout Beethoven Then and Now Fred Gaertner In this explosive and fast paced novel Fred Gaertner imagines an Earth where it is possible for dead people to return to the world of living This is

the life of the authors A Confession and Sizzlin Summer Surprise B Beethoven Then and Now and Sugar Shack C The Amazing Balancing Man and An Englishman s Tales of a Small Yorkshire Village D An

is threatening wildlife and rare plants conservationists and gardening experts are warning Gardens are an increasingly important shelter for wildlife which was forced into withdrawing from the countryside by loss of the natural homes and intensive farming But the growth in the popularity of artificial lawns which look like the real thing but require no cutting watering or fertilizing means there s no shelter in an increasing number of Britain s back gardens Tim Rumball editor of Amateur Gardening magazine said Artificial grass these days looks great and these days you can buy rolls of it whereas before it was a very specialist thing It can take people a few minutes to realize they are on an artificial lawn rather than a real one Besides the impact on wildlife a damaging impact has also been had on the wider 高三英语 第 4 页 共 12 页 environment because of replacing real grass Mr Rumball said Lawns matter a lot Plants change carbon dioxide into oxygen and if all the lawns are taken away in Britain you will significantly affect the carbon levels in the atmosphere When grass grows longer it attracts insects If you have an artificial lawn then these insects will be reduced and the whole of the food chain will be affected especially birds that rely on insects for their diet Joy Wallis of Dorset Wildlife Trust is also concerned about the trend for artificial grass These days gardens are a shelter for wildlife she said Creatures can t survive in the countryside because it is so full of chemicals Birds get absolutely nothing from artificial grass and they can t dig for worms or anything like that It seems a shame that people feel they haven t got the time or the tendency to look after a lawn Robert Redcliffe of Namgrass which currently sells 10 000 square meters of artificial grass per week says business is booming adding We started five years ago in the UK and it can transform the way you use the garden There s the obvious advantage of no cutting or watering but also there s no mud for children or pets to walk through the house He disagrees that artificial grass is harmful to the environment and added There are ecological benefits In the long run the effect of artificial grass is outweighed by not having to use a lawnmower running water or fertilizers 58 What can we learn from the growing trend for artificial lawns A More people are fed up with the real lawns B More people prefer the lower price of artificial grass C More people believe artificial grass to look really better D More people pay less attention to taking care of the environment 59 What can be inferred from what Robert Redcliffe says A Wildlife is likely to be threatened B All enjoy the convenience of artificial lawns C He focuses on keeping the balance of ecology D Parents spend more time accompanying children 60 The author s real purpose of writing the passage is to A warn the public against damaging the real lawns B emphasize the necessity of limiting artificial lawns C provide ways of protecting the living environment D give the reasons for the popularity of artificial lawns C Robotic surgery is one thing but sending a robot inside the body to carry out an operation quite another which has long been a goal of some researchers to produce tiny robotic devices being capable of traveling through the body to deliver drugs or to make repairs without the need for a single cut the possibility of which has just got a bit closer However unlike the plot of one film which featured a microscopic crew and submarine traveling through a scientist s bloodstream this device could not be inserted into blood vessels 管 because it is too big While other types of miniature swallow able robots have been developed in the past their role has mostly been limited to capturing images inside the body In a presentation this week to the International Conference Daniela Rus and Shu hei Miyashita of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology described a robot they have developed that can be swallowed and used to collect dangerous objects accidentally taken in To test their latest version Dr Rus and Dr Miyashita designed a robot as a battery hunter which might seem to be an odd task but more than 3 500 people in America alone most of them children swallow the tiny button cells used in small electronic devices by accident every year To start with the researchers created an artificial esophagus 食道 and stomach made out of silicone 硅胶 It was closely modeled on that found in a pig and filled with medical liquid the robot itself is made from several layers of different materials including pig intestine 肠 and 高三英语 第 5 页 共 12 页 contains a little magnet This is folded up and encased in a 10mm 27mm capsule of ice Once this reaches the stomach the ice melts and the robot unfolds which is moved and guided with the use of a magnetic field outside the body In their tests the robot was able to touch a button battery and draw it with its own magnet and during dragging it along the robot could then be directed towards the intestines where it would eventually be gotten rid of through the anus 肛门 After it the researchers sent in another robot loaded with medication to deliver it to the site of the battery burn to speed up healing The artificial stomach being transparent on one side the researchers were able to see the batteries and visually control the robots If not that will require help with the help from imaging system which will be a bit more of a challenge but Dr Rus and Dr Miyashita are determined to succeed 61 According to the passage the robot operation will probably be able to A travel through a scientist s bloodstream B photograph the body to convey to the doctor C enter the body to deliver drugs or make repairs D operate on a person outside the body completely 62 We learn from Paragraph 3 that A the researchers did the experiment on a chosen animal B the robot took necessary drugs besides a little magnet C digesting the swallowed batteries is difficult for children D the actual size of the robot may be larger than the capsule of ice 63 What may the experiment mean to the medical world A The surgeries will cost patients much money B Patients will suffer less for some surgeries C Fewer children will swallow the button cells D A robot will be invented travelling blood vessels 64 Which can be the most suitable title for the passage A An Experiment on Robot B Tiny Robot Significant Role C The Fantastic Robotic Voyage D The Exploration of Robot Technology D Nelle Harper Lee better known by her pen name Harper Lee was an American novelist widely known for To Kill a Mockingbird published in 1960 Immediately successful it won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize and has become a classic of modern American literature In 1991 an organization conducted a survey that made readers identify books that had made a difference in their lives The result Lee s book trailed only The Bible Alongside the works of Shakespeare and Twain this novel remains one of the most widely taught books nationwide reaching about 70 of American public schools What makes it such a typical read for young people English class is a place where young Americans come to know themselves In the folds of dusty books students can make contact with humanity beyond the shallow small talk of the school hallways Disturbed by hormones and anxiety teenagers get through school with confusion and frustration Literature is a safety valve 安全阀 it promises relief a place to figure out one s problems and get to know oneself better The novel particularly distinguishes itself in this aspect It speaks in a child s voice without treating its readership as children Some critics have called it an impossible achievement a children s book penned by a well educated adult it s unlikely that a child like Scout could exist in the real world But that s exactly what makes it such a charming attractive read for young people It indicates the consciousness of a well educated adult facing difficult realities but describes it through the light and playful voice of a curious little girl Gaby Hick a third year student focused on English literature at Brown University calls it one of the first books that kids and young adults read that deals with serious issues rape race mental issues She adds The story makes these adult themes accessible because of Scout 高三英语 第 6 页 共 12 页 The book s setting a small town in Alabama affected by the Great Depression of the 1930s may appear very different from the experience of most kids reading it today But Lee s words make her story feel alive and present In 2006 however critic Thomas Mallon expressed his regret about the book s avoiding moral complexity in The New Yorker But her novel makes a great teaching tool for teenagers precisely because its moral view is as clear as that of one of Aesop s fables That absence of ambiguity in this novel doesn t mean the novel is free of challenging ideas either Will Serratelli another literature student at Brown says There aren t many hard moral questions being asked but it opens up all these other questions that I hadn t thought about before My English teachers always asked Do you sympathize with this character Would you want to hang out with them When you give a kid a book where those questions don t even need to be asked it forces them to dig deeper Mallon s criticism is accurate in that this novel may present too limited a view of racism in America That s especially problematic because it is one of the only books consistently assigned to American students that acknowledges racial discrimination at all However To Kill a Mockingbird may owe some of its popularity as a teaching text to the fact that the narrative voice is a white one Naomi Varnis an African Studies student at Brown says It s another practice of telling stories about black people through white central characters she sa
