七、阅读理解（共14小题；共28分）

A

The next time you use telephone and Internet, you can probably thank Charles Kao (高锟), who was one of the Nobel Prize in Physics winners on October 6, 2009. His idea of fiber-optic(光纤) communications has made the modern telephone and Internet possible. People can exchange text, music and photos around the world within seconds thanks to this technology.

Half the $1.4 million prize goes to Charles Kao for discovering how to send light signals long distances through hair-thin glass fibers. The other half goes to the Americans Boyle and Smith for

inventing a sensor(传感器) that turns light into electrical signals. Their invention led to digital cameras.

Kao was born in Shanghai in 1933 and now has both American and British citizenship(公民身份).

Kao has been interested in science since he was a boy. He once tried making a bomb at home using chemicals and water; then he threw it in the street. Fortunately, no one was hurt!

After primary school and the first year of middle school, Kao moved to Hong Kong with his family. He went to Hong Kong University, but he had to go to London University to study electrical engineering. Later he studied fiber-optic communications.

Kao said in 1966 that glass fibers could carry light over long distances. Not many took him seriously at the time. But in 1970, researchers in the US were able to make the material.

Today the fibers are used throughout the world in computer cables and other cables. The light that flows through them sends text, music, pictures and video globally in less than a second. If you put together all the fibers in the world, you would get a single thread over 1 billion kilometers long. That is enough to go around the globe more than 25,000 times.

101. Why was Charles Kao awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics?

A. Because he invented the modern telephone and Internet.

B. Because he together with Boyle and Smith invented a sensor which changes light into electrical signals.

C. Because his idea led to the invention of digital cameras.

D. Because he discovered the way to send light signals through glass fibers.

102. The passage mainly tells us .

A. Charles Kao's contribution and his growth

B. Charles Kao together with Boyle and Smith won the Nobel Prize in Physics

C. how Charles Kao discovered fiber-optic communications

D. how Charles Kao became a great scientist

103. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Charles Kao left his parents and went to Hong Kong after the first year of middle school.

B. Charles Kao is a Chinese-American.

C. Only a few people considered Charles Kao's idea very useful at the very beginning.

D. Charles Kao studied fiber-optic communications in Hong Kong University.

B

When Two Bangs Meet

Sheldon Cooper is a scientific genius on the popular American TV show—The Big Bang Theory. He finally met his match last year: Stephen Hawking.

This is not the first time that the scientist has appeared on TV. He has also been on Star Trek (in 1987) and The Simpsons (in 1989). Each time, he played himself.

Hawking, 71, is perhaps the world's most famous scientist after Albert Einstein. He has spent his whole life studying the beginning and the end of the universe, including the Big Bang theory.

The Big Bang theory explains the early development of the universe. According to the theory, about 13.7 billion years ago everything was all squeezed together in a tiny, tight little ball, and then the ball exploded. The results of that explosion are what we call the universe.

Hawking has always tried to make science more popular with people. His book, A Brief History of Time was published in 1988. In the book he shares his understanding of the universe in simple language. The book tries to explain many subjects about the universe to common readers, including the Big Bang, black holes and light cones (光锥).

Hawking's achievements are even greater if you think about his disability. When he was 21, Hawking caught a bad illness that slowly stopped him from moving or talking. Now he sits on a wheelchair with a computer by his side. To communicate, he moves two fingers to control the computer's mouse. He chooses his words from the screen, which are then spoken by a voice synthesizer(合成器).

Hawking also believes that there might be aliens in space. However, he believes they are probably very dangerous, so we should not look for them. "I imagine they might exist in very big ships... having used up all the resources from their home planet," Hawking said in a British documentary named Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking.

104. What does the "Two Bangs" in the title refer to?

A. The director of the TV show and the founder of it.

B. The director and the actor of The Big Bang Theory.

C. The scientific genius on the TV show and the one in real life.

D. The founder of the "Big Bang" theory and Sheldon.

105. The Big Bang theory mainly explains .

A. how the universe started

B. what the universe is like

C. how old the universe is

D. how the universe exploded

106. According to the passage, which of the following about Hawking is TRUE?

A. He was born with a disability.

B. He played an artist in Star Trek.

C. He uses a computer to communicate.

D. He believes aliens are our friends.

C

"Life is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell."

This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown citizen who lived in Rome in AD 53 wrote it.

We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives.

But have all these developments really improved the quality of our lives?

Picture this: You're rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings, a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, and the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How calm and happy do you feel?

Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no cars, not even any electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they lead simple lives.

Our family in the UK went "back in time" to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10 and Thomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones. The grandmother, Lyn, said, "It was hard physically, but not mentally." She believed life was less materialistic. "The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes," she said. The boys said they fought less. Probably, they said, because there was less to fight over, such as their computer. Also Lyn changed from being a "fashionable, beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things."

Here are some simple ways to beat the stress often caused by our inventions!

Don't be available all the time. Turn off your mobile phone at certain times of the day. Don't check your emails every day.

Make sure you spend some time talking to your family. Set aside one evening a week when you don't turn on the television. Play cards and chat instead.

Get a low-tech hobby. Every day, do something in the old-fashioned way, such as walking to have a face-to-face meeting instead of using the email or telephone.

Don't worry too much about life—laugh more.

107. The passage is mainly about .

A. the important roles technology plays in our everyday life

B. improvements of our life with technology

C. problems with technology

D. major changes which will be likely to happen to technology

108. The writer uses the quote(引文) at the beginning of the story to .

A. share a truth about life

B. tell us what life was like long time ago

C. point out that you experience some big problems and they may be the same

D. make us wonder what causes such a thing to happen

109. Why did the family choose to spend some time in a 1940s house?

A. Because they loved to live simple lives.

B. Because they were curious about how people lived without modern inventions.

C. Because they were troubled by modern inventions.

D. Because living a different time would be a lot of fun for them.

110. What do you think the underlined word "available" in the 1st suggestion offered by the writer means?

A. Busy.

B. Free.

C. Usable.

D. Found by others.

D

Scientists are working to develop crop plants that can reduce the amount of water used for agriculture. Almost sixty percent of the world's freshwater which withdrawals from rivers, lakes and other water resources goes towards irrigating fields.

Scientists are using biotechnology as well as traditional breeding(再生) methods to develop water-saving crops to feed a growing world.

Thomas Tommy Carter is a plant scientist in North Carolina. He leads Team Drought, a group of researchers at five universities. They have been using conventional(传统的) breeding methods to develop and test soybeans that can grow well under dry conditions. His research has taken him as far as China, where soybeans have been grown for thousands of years.

Farmers in the United States, however, have grown soybeans for only about a century. Tommy Carter says the soybeans they grow are for the most part genetically similar. More differences, or diversification(多样化), could better protect crops against climate changes that can reduce production. Those changes include water shortages which could increase because of global warming.

The Agriculture Department has a soybean germplasm(生殖质) collection, a collection of genetic material passed from one generation to the next. They looked at ones from the ancestral home of soybeans, Asia. They searched for germplasms that could keep plants from weakening and wilting(枯萎) during hot, dry summers in the United States. Tommy Carter says they found only five. But these slow-wilting lines, he says, produce four to eight bushels(蒲式耳,容量单位) more than normal soybeans under drought conditions. The yield depends on location and environment.

Scientists are also working on other plants that either use less water or use it better, or both. For example, companies like Monsanto, DuPont and Syngenta have been developing corn with reduced water needs. Monsanto expects to be ready in a few years to market its first corn seeds genetically engineered to resist drought.

111. Which sentence is NOT true about Tommy Carter's opinion?

A. China has a long history of planting soybeans.

B. The germplasm would affect the production of soybeans.

C. Growing crops with less water has nothing to do with global warming.

D. In the United States, the soybeans are for the most part genetically similar.

112. What is the difference of soybeans between Asia and America?

A. The soybeans in America are bigger than those in Asia.

B. The soybean production in America is higher than that in Asia.

C. The soybeans need more water when they are planted in America.

D. The soybeans from Asia can resist hotter and drier weather.

113. We can conclude from the last paragraph that .

A. crops will need less water in the future

B. companies like Monsanto will catch the chance and improve their technology of the corn's resisting drought

C. scientists are also working on other plants in order to help companies like Monsanto

D. companies like Monsanto will try their best to improve the production of their plants

114. What is the main idea of this passage?

A. The purpose of comparing China's soybean with America's soybean.

B. How to use less water when we plant crops.

C. The study about growing crops with less water.

D. How to get more gain from our plants.
