.

Star Wars Millennium Falcon

This is a gift that, if we’re being honest, many dads wants to own for themselves. This huge ship is the greatest Star Wars toy. It lights up and makes some noises. Every boy from 3 to 53 will absolutely like it, if they can find room for it. I dare say even a few grandfathers might go for it.

Biscuit----the Loving Pup

You may clearly know that a pet can be a great thing to a child’s development but you probably don’t think that you can take care of a dog properly. The robot dog Biscuit is less likely to exacerbate the disorder of your house and except for a few dead batteries, won’t leave any surprises on the floor. It will be a good playmate for your kids.

JVC KD—10 Headphones

It’s increasing common for kids to enjoy themselves on long journeys with a potable(便攜式) DVD player or an iPod MPs, but the headphones that come with expensive electronics are seldom suitable for young ears. Kids should use JVC headphones that have a sound limiter that can be set by the concerned parent.

Sparrow-kids Routemaster Kit

Sparrow-kids Kit makes a huge range of craft(工藝) tools. There are lots of pretty but achievable projects for young girls to take up their (safe plastic) needles and sew.

Holz Wooden Airport

It might be said that Britain doesn’t need another airport but when it’s a traditional wooden toy like this all of you would agree that it’s a good thing. Treated with a little care, this play-set could easily entertain your young air traffic controllers.

68. The underlined word “ exacerbate” in the second paragraph can be replaced by _____.

A. worsen       B. improve      C. protect      D. cure

69. Which was the gifts is designed mainly for girls?

A.Holz Wooden Airport          B. Sparrow-kids Routmaster Kit

2001: A Space Odyssey
In the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, HAL is one of the first computers to talk like a human.  HAL is very frightening because it speaks in a calm voice as it goes on a killing spree (瘋狂殺戮). When the astronauts attempt to hide in a smaller spaceship and switch off the microphones,  HAL uses a camera to read their lips and understand what the astronauts are saying.

“NOW I just don't believe that." Surely all of us, at some point, have watched a movie and thought: It's simply badly researched, or, the makers must think we're idiots (白癡).

  Recently, the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph ran a humorous piece on unconvincing(不讓人信服的) tech moments from some top movies. Let's see what all the fuss (激動(dòng)) is about.

  Telegraph writer Tom Chiver's first example is from the end-of-the-world movie Independence Day, in which a character comes up with a virus capable of destroying Windows, the computer system the alien spacecraft uses. “It's a good thing they didn't have Norton Antivirus,” jokes Chivers.

  It's just one case of a movie that takes a lot of license with its science. Another one Chivers mentions is from Star Wars, where glowing beams (閃亮的光束) of light traveling through space look very impressive. The problem is that in space there are no air particles (粒子) for the light to reflect off. In reality, they'd be invisible, which wouldn't look so cool on the big screen.

  Chiver's second piece of Star Wars nonsense is the sound the fighters make in the movies: “the bellow (咆哮) of an elephant mixed with a car driving on a wet road”. But sound needs a medium (介質(zhì)) to travel through, like air. In space, there wouldn't actually be any sound at all.

  Few people would deny that the mind-bending Matrix films make for great viewing, but for Chivers, the science in the movies is a little silly.

  He comments “…the film is based on the idea that humans are kept alive as electricity generator (發(fā)電機(jī)). This is not just unlikely – it's fundamentally impossible. They would need more energy to stay alive than they would produce. It's like saying you'll power your car with batteries, and keep the batteries charged by running a dynamo (發(fā)電機(jī)) from the wheels.”

  And finally: as Chivers points out, DNA is not replaceable. But this bit of elementary genetics (遺傳學(xué)) passed the makers of the 2002 Bond film Die Another Day by. In the film the villain (壞人) has “gene therapy (療法)” to change his appearance and his DNA, which is completely impossible.

71. The following are all movies mentioned in the article except _______.

A. Die Another Day.          B. Matrix                    C. Star War        D. Norton Antivirus

72. Chivers uses the car as an example to show that _______.

A. cars can’t be powered by batteries

B. humans consume more power that they could have made

C. the villain has “gene therapy” to change his appearance and his DNA

D. it would take so much power to keep humans alive by electricity generator that it’s hardly possible

73. Which of the following is a scientific fact?

   A. No virus can destroy Windows.

   B. Light can be reflected with the help of air particles.

   C. DNA is replaceable as long as there is enough energy.

   D. We can design a car powered with batteries which are charged from the wheels.

74. What kind of people Chivers may be?

A. Humorous.       B. Brave.        C. Sensitive.    D. Careless.

75. Chivers probably writes the article in order to _______.

A. persuade people not to watch some silly movies

B. criticize movie makers’ carelessness

C. provide readers with something to read for fun

D. educate the public on some basic scientific knowledge
