Televisions were among the most talked-about things at CES 2013—the 2013 International Consumer Electronic Show (國(guó)際消費(fèi)類電子產(chǎn)品展銷會(huì)) last week in Las Vegas, Nevada. They were bigger and better with some of the highest technology (技術(shù)). Some TVs used a new technology called OLED. They were bigger, thinner and lighter, offered better colour and were brighter than traditional TVs using LED.
Ultra High Definition TVs were also popular. Most of the TVs shown on the exhibition used 4k technology.
Smart TVs this year were smarter. Many offered technology that users have a more personalized （個(gè)性化的）experience. One such TV from TCL can know who is watching with the help of new technology. Then it can offer programmes according to the user’s usual interest. Another TV from Panasonic offers  a similar personalized user experience.
Size also played an important part in CES 2013. TVs changed in size from big to bigger, with at least two companies —Samsung and Hisense —showing TVs that are 110 inches large on the exhibition.
The yearly CES is the biggest technology show in North America and one of the biggest in the world.
It’s a meeting of the brightest minds and the top leaders from many industries and those who want to know about the future.
Digital health and fitness inventions were also big at CES 2013. There was even a fork that tells you when you are eating too fast.
The show had over 3,200 different companies showing more than 20,000new products in about 26 miles of exhibition space.

A city in South Korea has added a new attraction to its cultural landscape(景觀)—the world’s first “Toilet Theme Park”. The Restroom Cultural Park in the city of Suwon is proving a huge hit with locals and tourists alike.
The park was built to memorize the former city mayor Sim Jae-duck, known as “Mr. Toilet”. He believed the toilet is a very important place and full of culture.

When you look up into the sky at night, have you ever felt that your eyes are playing tricks on (捉弄) you? It seems that the stars are moving all the time.
Actually, there is nothing wrong with your eyes. This twinkling effect is called scintillation (交光). Scintillation happens because of air movements in the earth’s atmosphere (大氣). Light is “bent (彎曲的)” when it travels through different parts of the earth’s atmosphere. As the air in the earth’s atmosphere is moving all the time, the light from the stars looks as if it is moving too.
The same thing also happens to things on the ground. On a very hot and shiny day, if you look at the road, the image in the distance is not clear and things move slightly. You can also see the same effect if you drop a rock into water. The rock appears a little unclear under the moving water.
This twinkling effect causes a lot of problems for astronomers (天文學(xué)家) since they cannot observe the stars clearly. A telescope (望遠(yuǎn)鏡) was sent into space so that the air movements in the atmosphere could be avoided (避免). It took a long time to build the space telescope but finally in 1990, a huge space telescope called the Hubble Space Telescope was successfully sent into space. Since then, astronomers have many important observations that have helped people understand space better.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇最佳選項(xiàng)。 （10分）
小題1:What happens to the light from the stars we see when the air in the earth’s atmosphere is moving?
A．It looks even brighter.
B．It looks as if it is bent.
C．It looks as if it is moving.
D．It looks like drops of rain.
小題2:Scintillation also happens on 　　　　 according to the passage.
A．rainy daysB．shiny days
C．cloudy daysD．windy days
小題3:What can you see when you drop a rock into the water?
A．The rock gets broken.
B．The rock becomes unclear.
C．The water becomes much polluted.
D．The water does not move anymore.
小題4:The underlined word “observe” means “　　　　”.
A．watchB．listenC．drawD．explain
小題5:Why is scintillation a problem for astronomers?
A．The stars never stay still.
B．It makes the stars too dark to see.
C．It makes astronomers feel too hot to work.
D．Astronomers cannot observe the stars clearly.

Many parents like setting family rules for their kids. When kids break rules, parents will give them some punishments, which aren’t included in rules. In fact, when you tell your kids about a new rule, you should talk with them about the price they should pay for breaking the rule — what the punishment will be.
Punishments you set should be reasonable, without violence or threat (暴力或威脅). For example, if you find your son smoking, you may limit his social activities for two weeks. You should punish your kids only in ways you have discussed before the rule is broken. A study shows that the most popular punishment is to limit kids’ TV time.
It’s understandable that you’ll be angry when rules are broken. Punishment is a way to express your anger, but it’s not a very good one. Sharing your feelings of anger, disappointment or sadness with your kids can have a better effect (效果) on them. Try to do that. When your kids know what they have done has made you sad, they will feel compunctious. When they know their actions influence you greatly, they will obey rules better.
Rules are made to help your kids behave better. If your rules or ways of punishment make them unhappy or under a lot of pressure, are they helpful?
小題1:What’s the passage mainly about?
A．How to make rules.B．Why to make rules.
C．Why to punish kids.D．How to educate kids.
小題2:Which of the following is the most popular way to punish kids?
A．Beating them.
B．Telling them empty threats.
C．Limiting their TV time.
D．Using punishments which are not mentioned in rules.
小題3:In the writer’s opinion, which is thought to be the best way to express anger to kids?
A．Punishing them.
B．Keeping silent.
C．Asking them to do some housework.
D．Telling them how disappointed you are.
小題4:The underlined word “compunctious” in the passage means “       ” in Chinese.
A．激動(dòng)的B．無(wú)聊的C．刺激的D．內(nèi)疚的
小題5:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Punishment is the best way to educate kids.
B．Breaking rules is common, so we don’t need to pay too much attention to it.
C．Parents set ways of punishment in order to make kids know the price for breaking rules.
D．More pressure should be given to kids.
