15、olbegan over a cup of tea. Tea was not the only thing that caused the war, of course, but it played a very big part.The British peoples love of tea is well-known. When the British won control over mush of North America in the early 1700s, they brought their tea- drinking habits with them. Tea quickl

16、y became the continents most popular drink. As tea could not be grown locally, just as in Britain, it was shipped into the countrymostly from India.In the early 1700s, the Britain government made a special deal with the East India Company, as an English trading company. They agreed that no other com

17、pany was allowed to bring tea to Britain or any country controlled by Britain, including America. It was a great deal for the East India Company, since it meant that the company could decide whatever price it wanted for its products.

19、tea at a much lower price.The East India Company, however, didnt like this at all. By the 1760s, they were losing millions of pounds each year to Dutch tradersa huge amount of money in a time when 60 a year was considered a good income. Instead of reducing their prices to compete with the Dutch, the

20、 company asked the British government for help and the government agreed.In 1767, the British introduced new law that increased the prices of all goods which were brought into America. These laws helped make the East India Company even richer and forced local people to pay much more for everything.

21、The American leaders asked the British government not to do so, but the British refused to listen. These unfair laws increased Americans anger about British rule and the rest, as they say, is history.1In the early 1700s where did most tea drunk in America come from?AChinaBIndiaCAmericaDBritain2The u

In other

45、words, it was caused by air pollution. In London, some of this pollution came from factories, but a lot of it came from the coal that people burnt in their houses to keep warm during the winter. By the 1950s, Londons smog problem had become so bad that the government decided to do something to clean

46、 up the air. It didnt allow people to born coal in any British city. A few years later, the air became much cleaner.Today many Chinese cities face the same problem with air pollution that London faced sixty years ago. However, this problem is more difficult for Chinese cities to solve. One reason is

47、 that more of pollution comes from big factories, rather than from the coal burnt in peoples houses. If these factories were suddenly closed, it would harm the economy and lots of people would lose their jobs. Another reason is that changing from coal to cleaner fuels is quite expensive. However, th

48、e air in many cities will become cleaner, as the government and ordinary people pay more and more attention to protecting the environment.1（小题1）Where was the pollution from in London over sixty years ago?AThe pollution came from factories.BThe pollution was from coal that people burnt in their house

49、s.CThe pollution was from too much traffic on the roads.DThe pollution was from factories and coal that people burnt in their houses.2（小题2）How was the air in London after the government didnt allow people to born coal in any British city?AIt was still foggy.

52、net, future people should have a clear picture of how we lived in the 21st century.But Martine Rothblatt, a business woman from the US, wants to go a step further by digitally cloning (克隆) human minds.These “mindclones” would have all of our thoughts, feelings, and be able to think just like us. Rot

53、hblatt imagines that mindclones will first begin as digital (数字的) assistants(助手) in our mobile devices (装置), until they become walking, talking versions (版本) of us but these are far from reality at the moment.Mindcloning technology is still very young, and it might be a long time before we can send

54、our man-made selves to school so we dont have to sit through math class. However, scientists at Stanford University in the United States recently created a circuit (电路) board modeled on the human brain that could simulate(模拟) 1 million neurons (神经元) and billions of connections in the brain.Finally,

55、Rothblatt sees mindclones having their own rights as people, and even falling in love and getting married.“Lets say the ex Apple CEO Steve Jobs meets another mindclone. They fall in love. Mindclones are just people without bodies. Once the mindclones fall in love, they are going to get married. That

56、s what people do,” she said.But Rothblatts idea that the digital versions of ourselves would have the same rights as people is not shared by everyone. Some people have thought that the mind must be embedded (嵌入) in biology for it to be thought as “life”, HuffPost reported.1According to Rothblatt, mindclones _.Awill finally become robotsBwill be used in our mobile devicesCwill become reality soonDhave more rights than people2What is the latest development in mindcloning technology?AWe can send ou
