Science Fiction1 Amongst the most popular books being written today are those which are usually classified as science fiction.Hundreds of titles are published every year and are read by all kinds of people.Furthermore,some of the most successful films of recent years have been based on science fiction stories.2 It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature,but its ancestors can be found in books written hundreds of years ago.These books were often concerned with the presentation of some form of ideal society,a theme which is still often found in modern stories.3 Most of the classics of science fiction,however,have been written within the last hundred years. Books by writers such as Jules Verne and H.G.Wells,to mention just two well-known authors,have been translated into many languages.4 Modern science fiction writers don ' t write about men from Mars（火星）or space adventure stories. They are more interested in predicting the results of technical developments on society and the human mind; or in imagining future worlds which are a reflection of the world which we live in now.Because of this,their writing has obvious political undertones（含义）.5 In an age where science fact frequently overtakes（超过）science fiction , the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances.Those who are sufficiently clear-sighted to see the way we are going,however,may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will inevitably face as it tries to master its new technology.Paragraph 5______A:Popularity of Science FictionB:A Fairly New DevelopmentC:Classics of Science FictionD:Difficulty in Keeping Ahead of Scientific AdventureE:Its OriginF:Themes of Modern Science Fiction

Narrow EscapeWe had left the hut too late that morning. When we stepped outside,the sky beyond the mountains to our east was already livid with colour. It meant the day would be a hot one,and the warmth would loosen rocks that were gripped by ice.As soon as we stepped out on to the face,it became obvious this was going to be an awkward route. The main problem was talus,the debris that collects on mountainsides. Talus is despised by mountaineers for two reasons. First,because it can easily be pushed off on to you by people climbing above. And second,because it makes every step you take insecure.For about 30 minutes we moved steadily up the face. The rock was in poor condition, shattered horizontally and mazed with cracks. When I tried to haul myself up on a block of it,it would pull out towards me,like a drawer opening. My hands became progressively wetter and colder. Then came a shout.“Cailloux!Cailloux!”I heard yelled from above,in a female voice. The words echoed down towards us. I looked up to see where they had come from.There were just two rocks at first,leaping and bounding down the face towards us,once cannoning off each other in mid-air. And then the air above suddenly seemed alive with falling rocks,humming through the air and filling it with noise. Crack,went each one as it leapt off the rock face,then hum-hum-hum as it moved through the air,then crack again. The pause between the cracks lengthened each time,as the rocks gained momentum and jumped further and further. I continued to gaze up at the rocks as they fell and skipped towards me. A boy who had been a few years above me at school had taught me never to look up during a rock fall.“Why?Because a rock in your face is far less pleasant than a rock on your helmet,”he told us.“Face in,always face in.”I heard Toby,my partner on the mountain that day,shouting at me. I looked across. He was safe beneath an overhanging canopy of rock. I could not understand him. Then I felt a thump,and was tugged backwards and round,as though somebody had clamped a heavy hand on my shoulder and turned me to face them. A rock had hit the lid of my rucksack.I looked up again. A rock was heading down straight towards me. Instinctively,I leant backwards and arched my back out from the rock to try to protect my chest. What about my fingers,though,I thought:they'll be crushed flat if it hits them,and I'll never get down. Then I heard a crack directly in front of me,and a tug at my trousers,and a yell from Toby. “Are you all right?That went straight through you.”The rock had pitched in front of me, and passed through the hoop of my body,between my legs,missing me but snatching at my clothing as it went.Toby and I had spent the evening talking through the events of the morning:What if the big final stone hadn't leapt sideways,what if I'd been knocked off,would you have held me, would I have pulled you off?A more experienced mountaineer would probably have thought nothing of it.I knew I would not forget it.What is likely to be the meaning of“Cailloux”?A: Rocks are flying through the air.B: Rocks are falling.C: There are loose rocks on the ground ahead.D: There are rocks everywhere.

第二篇Download Knowledge Directly to Your BrainFor the first time,researchers have been able to hack into the process of learning in the biain,using induced brain patterns to create a learned behavior. It's not quite as advanced as an instant Kung-fu down- load,and it's not as sleek as cognitive inception,but it's still an important finding that could lead to new teaching and rehabilitation techniques.Future therapies could decode the brain activity patterns of an athlete or a musician,and use them as a benchmark for teaching another person a new activity,according to the researchers.Scientists from Boston University and ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratories in Kyoto used functional magnetic resonance imaging,or fMRI,to study the learning process.They were examining the adult brain's aptitude for visual perceptual learning,or VPL,in which repetitive training improves a per- son's performance on a particular task.Whether adults can do this as well as young people has been an on- going debate in neuroscience.Led by BU neuroscientist Takeo Watanabe,researchers used a method called decoded fMRI neurofeed- back to stimulate the visual cortex.First they showed participants circles at different orientations.Then they used fMRI to watch the participants'brain activity.The researchers were then able to train the participants to recreate this visual cortex activity.The volunteers were again placed in MRI machines and asked to visualize shapes of certain colors.The participants were asked to"somehow regulate activity in the posterior part of the brain"to make a solid green disc as large as they could.They were told they would get a paid bonus proportional to the size of this disc, but they weren't told anything about what the disc meant.The researchers watched the participants'brain activity and monitored the activation patterns in their visual cortices."Participants can be trained to control the overall mean activation of an entire brain region,"the study authors write,"or the adtivation in one region relative to that in another region."This worked even when test subjects were not aware of what they were learning,the researchers said."The most surprising thing in this study is that mere inductions of neural activation patterns corresponding to a specific visual feature led to visual performance improvement on the visual feature,without presenting the fea- ture or subjects' awareness of what was to be learned,"Watanabe said in a statement.Watanabe and colleagues said this method can be a powerful tool."It can'incept' a person to acquire new learning, skills,or memory,or possibly to restore skills or knowledge that has been damaged through accident,disease,or aging,without a person's awareness of what is learned or memorized,"they write.The finding of the study is most significant in that learning_________.A:is full of funB:is visualizedC:happens unconsciously D:becomes unnecessary

Working for Fun and Profit1.It's a sunny weekend morning. You decide to take a walk.Everything is quite except for a.group of people and some colorful objects you see about three blocks away.As you get closer,you notice that there are many things lying on the ground:some National Geographic magazines,a collection of toy trucks,some weight lifting equipment,two bicycles,and a set of chairs.People are parking cars,getting out,and looking over the objects in the driveway.You consider taking a detour around the group of people,but you are curious.Was there an accident?Is this a party?No!Welcome to your first garage sale!2.On the same morning,a friend of yours takes a drive.He makes a mistake at an intersection and takes a wrong turn.He passes a large parking lot full of people,not cars.He sees many multicolored objects.At first he thinks it's an art show. Then he decides it's a fair. He parks his car and gets out to explore.He's just arrived at his first flea market.3.Garage sales and flea market are popular in the United States.Many Americans find that they can make a little extra money and have fun being"weekend entrepreneurs”.They take outgrown clothing,appliances,toys,and books and resell them at garage sales and flea markets.4.Flea markets are generally open spaces in or out of town that become busy sales centers on weekends.People who want to sell new or used clothing,tools,furniture,or books rent a space for the day for a small amount of money and sell their merchandise.Shoppers from near and far come to get good buys on imported watches,house plants,magazines,microscopes,children's clothes,and handmade goods such as embroidered pillowcases or jewelry.Some shoppers even buy and sell antiques.They search flea markets for special treasures that they can resell in their own stores for lots of money.5.Garage sales are smaller than flea markets,and the merchandise consists mainly of household items.Dishes,pots and pans,coat hangers,and children's clothing are inexpensive and common at garage sales. People frequently have garage sales before they move and on weekends when the weather is nice.Sometimes several families gather their unwanted household goods and sell them together. More merchandise attracts more customers.6.Cleaning,organizing,pricing,and moving merchandise is hard work,but the popularity of flea market and garage sales proves that many Americans work for fun!It's really easy to move merchandise.A:Right B:Wrong C:Not mentioned

第三篇The Exploding Lakes of CameroonWhat comes to mind when you think of a lake?You probably imagine a pretty scene with blue water,birds,and fish.For the people in the northwestern Cameroon,however,the image is very different.For them,lakes may mean terrible disasters.In 1984, poisonous gases exploded out of Lake Monoun and came down into the nearby villages, killing thirty-seven people.Two years later,Lake Nyos erupted.A cloud of gases rolled down the hills and into the valleys and killed 1,700 people.Lake Nyos and Lake Monoun are crater（火山口）lakes. They were formed when water collected in the craters of old volcanoes.The volcanoes under Lake Nyos and Lake Monoun are not active anymore.However,poisonous gases from the center of the earth continue to flow up through cracks in the bottom of the lake.This is normal in a crater lake. In most crater lakes,these gases are released often because the water"turns over" regularly.That is,the water from the bottom of the lake rises and mixes with the water at the top,allowing the gases to escape slowly.However,in Lakes Nyos and Monoun,there is no regular turning over.No one knows the reason for this fact,but as a result,these lakes have more gases trapped at the bottomthan other crater lakes.In fact,scientists who have studied Lakes Nyos and Monoun have found 16,000 times more gases.When a strong wind,cool weather,a storm,or a landslide（滑坡）causes the water to turn over suddenly,the gases escape in a violent explosion.In the past,no one knew when the gases might explode,so there was no way for the villagers to escape disaster. Now scientists from the United States,France,andCameroon have found a way to reduce the gas pressure at the bottom of Lake Nyos.Theystood a 672-foot plastic pipe in the middle of the lake,with one end of the pipe near the bottom and the other end in the air. Near the top of the pipe,the team put several holesthat could be opened or closed by a computer.Now,when the gas pressure gets too high,the holes are opened and some of the gas-filled water shoots up through the pipe into the air like a fountain.With less pressure,a disastrous explosion is much less likely.However,the scientists are not sure that one pipe will be enough to prevent explosions.They hope to put in others soon and they plan to install a similar pipe and a computer system at Lake Monoun as well.To protect people nearby until all of the pipes are in place,the scientists have installed early warning systems at both lakes.If the gas pressure rises to a dangerous level, computers will set off loud sirens（警报）and bright lights to warn the people in the villages. That way,they will have time to escape from the dangerous gases.What will happen when Lake Nyos and Lake Monoun explode?A:Water will flow down the hills.B:Poisonous gases will be released suddenly.C:A strong wind will rise from the lakes.D:The volcanoes will come to life.

The Difference between Man and ComputerWhat makes people different from computer programs?What is the missing element that our theories don't yet1for?The answer is simple:People read newspaper stories for a reason:to learn more about2they are interested in. Computers,on the other hand, don't. In fact,computers don,t3have interests；there is nothing in particular that they are trying to find out when they read. If a computer4is to be a model of story understanding,it should also read for a“purpose”.of course,people have several goals that do not make5to attribute to computers. One might read a restaurant guide6order to satisfy hunger or entertainment goals,or to 7a good place to go for a business lunch. Computers do not get hungry,and computers do not have business lunches.However,these physiological and social goals give8to several intellectual or cognitive goals. A goal to satisfy hunger gives rise to goals to find9about the name of a restaurant which10the desired type of food,how expensive the restaurant is,the location of the restaurant,etc. These are goals to11information or knowledge,what we are call-ing12goals. These goals can be held by computers too；a computer13“want”to find out the location of a restaurant,and read a guide in order to do so14the same way as a person might. While such a goal would not15out of hunger in the case of the com-puter,it might well arise out of the“goal” to learn more about restaurants.5._________A: success B: sense C: scene D: point
