A kid went up to the attic to look for an old book. Everything was 1       ,but between the shadows,the boy could clearly see two 2       . They were about a meter apart,giving some idea of the 3        of a terrible being's head. The boy screamed,ran out,and 4       the door,leaving the monster in the attic,growling.

  For the next two days the whole village was in 5       . But nobody in the village was 6        enough to go up to that attic and get rid of the monster,as the growls continued.

  7      ,a fisherman passed by. Some days earlier his ship had sunk. He was a hard 8        and some villagers asked him to help them. The fisherman did not 9        to help,in return for a little money. But when he 10        the attic and heard the growls,his 11       changed―fear ap?peared on his face. He went downstairs to ask for more 12        All the villagers watched as the fisherman opened the attic door and went inside. After he had been inside for a short while the noises 13        Never again would the villagers see him or hear the sounds of the monster. Neither did anyone ever 14        to go up to the attic again.

  What happened 15        that door?

  Well,when the fisherman opened the door,he saw the eye of Steve,his sailor. The eye was 16        in a mirror,giving the impression of both 17        the same head. Steve's other eye had been covered by a patch for years. The fisherman laughed and thought those villagers down?stairs were so foolish. 18,the fisherman and his imprisoned friend managed to 19        and disappeared forever with the money.

  And so it was,that fear alone imprisoned that whole village.

  And so it happens to this very day. 20       fear drives us to foolishness,and often allows others to take advantage of us.

 Ever since they were first put on the market in the early 1990s,genetically modified (GM, 轉(zhuǎn)基因) foods have been increasingly developed and marketed in many countries in the word,mainly on the basis of their promise to end the worldwide food crisis. But can GM technology solve world hunger problems? Even if it would,is it the best solution?

  Despite what it promises,GM technology actually has not increased the production potential of any crop. In fact studies show that the most widely grown GM crop,GM soybeans,has suf?fered reduced productivity. For instance,a report that analyzed nearly two decades of research on major GM food crops shows that GM engineering has failed to significantly increase US crop production.

  Something else,however,has been on the rise. While GM seeds are expensive,GM com?panies tell farmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides (殺蟲劑) .On the contrary,US government data show that GM crops in the US have produced an overall in?crease in pesticide use compared to traditional crops. "The promise was that you could use less chemicals and boost production. But neither is true," said Bill Christison,President of the US National Farm Coalition.

  At the same lime,the authors of the book World Hunger; Twelve Myths argue that there actually is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is not caused by pro?duction,but by problems in food distribution and politics. These indeed deserve our efforts and money. Meanwhile,the rise in food prices results from the increased use of crops for fuel rather than food,according to a 2008 World Bank report.

  As a matter of fact,scientists see better ways to feed the world. Another World Bank re?port concluded that GM crops have little to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger,because better ways out are available,among which "green" fanning is supposed to be the first choice.

(   ) 1. The author develops the second paragraph mainly         .

   A. by classification   B. by comparison

   C. by example   D. by process

(   ) 2. What does the underlined word "boost" in the third paragraph probably mean?

   A. Control. B. Evaluate. C. Obtain. D. Increase.

(   ) 3. GM companies promise farmers that they will benefit from         .

   A. practicing " green" farming

   B. less use of chemicals

   C. fair distribution of their crops

   D. using more crops for fuel

(   ) 4. Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards GM technology?

   A. Optimistic. B. Defensive.

   C. Disapproving. D. Casual.

 Thomas Alva Edison was the most famous inventor in American history. He had 1 ,093 pa?tents in a wide range of fields,including telecommunications,electric power,sound recording,motion pictures,primary and storage batteries,and mining and cement technology. As impor?tant,he broadened the notion of invention to encompass what we now call innovation―inven?tion,research,development,and commercialization and invented the industrial research labora?tory. Edison's role as an innovator is evident not only in his two major laboratories at Menlo Park and West Orange in New Jersey but in more than 300 companies formed worldwide to man?ufacture and market his inventions,many of which carried the Edison name,including some 200 Edison illuminating companies.

  Edison was born in 1847 in the canal town of Milan,Ohio,the last of seven children. He attended school briefly but was principally educated at home by his mother and in his father's li?brary. In 1859 Edison began working on a local branch of the Grand Trunk Railroad,selling newspapers,magazines,and candy. At one point he printed a newspaper on the train,and he also conducted chemical experiments in a baggagecar laboratory. By 1862 he had learned enough telegraphy to be employed as an operator in a local office.

  From 1863 to 1867 he traveled through the Midwest as a telegrapher. During these years he read widely,studied and experimented with telegraph technology.

In the fall of 1878,Edison devoted thirty months to developing a complete system of incan?descent electric lighting. During his lamp experiments,he noticed an electrical phenomenon that became known as the " Edison effect". In World War I,the federal government asked Edison to head the Naval Consulting Board,which examined inventions submitted for military use. Edison worked on several problems,including submarine detectors and gun location techniques.

  By the time of his death in 1931,Edison had received 1 ,093 U. S. patents,a total still un?touched by any other inventor. Even more important,he created a model for modern industrial research.

(   ) 1. How many fields in which Edison had patents are mentioned in the first paragraph?

   A. Five. B. Six.

   C. Seven. D. Eight.

(   ) 2. The purpose of this passage is to         .

   A. tell us how Edison became an innovator

   B. introduce Edison's life to us

   C. tell us about Edison's childhood

   D. show us how Edison succeeded

(   ) 3. You will probably find the article in         .

   A. a film poster   B. a guidebook

   C. a biography   D. a blog

(   ) 4. What can we learn from the passage?

   A. No inventors in America have more patents than Edison up to now.

   B. Edison spent thirteen months developing incandescent electric lighting.

   C. Edison traveled through the Midwest as a telegrapher from 1863 to 1868.

   D. Edison was the oldest child of all the seven in his family.

(   ) 5. The best title for the passage may be         .

   A. Edison and His Family

   B. Edison's Innovation

   C. Edison Effect

   D. Edison,the Bestknown Inventor

A machine which makes water out of air could become the greatest household invention since the microwave.

Using the same technology as a dehumidifier (除濕器) ，the Water Mill is able to create a ready supply of drinking water by getting it from a limitless source―the air.

The company behind the machine says not only does it offer an alternative to bottled water in developed countries,but it is a solution for the millions who face a daily water shortage.

The machine works by drawing in damp air through a filter and over a cooling element which changes it into water droplets. It call produce up to 12        liters a day. The Water Mill will also produce more water when storms pass over,as the humidity (濕度) in the air increases. In keeping with its ecodevelopment,the machine uses the same amount of electricity as three light bulbs.

Inventor Jonathan Ritchey said, "The demand for water is off the chart. People ar looking for freedom from water distribution systems that are shaky and unreliable."

The machine,which is about 3        feet wide,is likely to cost £800 when it goes on sale her in the spring. Its maker,Canadian firm Element Four,estimates that a liter of water will cos around 20        pence to produce.

Environmentalists claim half the world's population will face water shortage because o        climate change by 2080. One in five humans is said to lack access to safe drinking water.

The Water Mill is not effective in areas with below about 30 percent relative humidity but with average relative humidity in England of more than 70 percent that won't be much o        an issue here.

(   ) 5. According to the author,the biggest advantage of the machine is its        .

   A. little power use   B. proper size

   C. unlimited source   D. high production

(   ) 6. We can conclude from the passage that the machine        .

   A. can be used everywhere

   B. has not been on sale

   C. will replace the water distribution system

   D. will solve the problem of water shortage

(   ) 7. What is necessary for the machine to work?

   A. Enough air. B. Enough humidity.

   C. Enough water. D. Enough containers.

(   ) 8. What is the best title for this passage?

   A. Machine to Make Water Out of Air

   B. Microwave for Household Use

   C. Filter to Draw in Damp Air

   D. Modern Dehumidifier on Sale
