6.World travel has moved on to a new level as new websites spring up to enable travelers to plan their trips online.Virtual tourism is the latest name of the game and although relatively new,has seen some tourism websites grow to host over one-million users.
Typically,this development features a website that contains the answers to almost any tourism question.Tips and information are not provided by a single source,such as the website host,but rather from travelers themselves-often in the thousands.This has proven to be exceptionally beneficial for would-be travelers who are seeking infomtation on questions such as where to find the best museum or beach; whether it is better to tour Brussels with a bicycle or on foot; and which exchange rate bureaus are available in Italy.Questions about food and restaurants; tourist spots; safety; accommodation; and others are all answered.In addition,posted tips promote better preparation,such as what to pack when heading for Sicily(西西里島).
Apart from the useful tips,visual images and virtual tours have also been made available.If you'd like to visit the Eiffel Tower,it's a good idea to view the surrounding areas; to pick a safer train route; or to know that it's very close to the Seine River and that a walk along it would enhance the experience.
Virtual tours have sprung up  globally.In South Africa,John Gore established the Virtual Tour Guide in November last year.On his blog,Gore was quoted a saying,"The world is panoramic(全景的)."'We are able to tum our heads and look in all directions and get a feel for where we are,but the typical photograph cannot show or describe that experience completely."However,there is an answer--technology makes it possible to share the world around us in a 360degree panoramic way,which really makes the viewer feel as though he     or she is really there.
32.Why is virtual tourism more and more popular?B
A.Online games are more and more attractive.
B.Many new websites appear and develop fast.
C.More and more people want to travel abroad.
D.It helps travelers save as much money as possible.
33.From the second paragraph we knowD
A.we can solve any problem on websites
B.websites offer all the tips and information
C.we can get all our questions answered online
D.we can get many tips about tourism on websites
34.What does the underlined word"sprung up"most probably mean?A
A.Appeared.B.Moved.C.Competed.D.Reduced.
35.What makes us see the world in a panoramic way?C
A.Information.B.Photograph.C.Technology.D.Virtual images.

Dai Haifei built the 6-square-meter pad (住所) because he could not afford to buy or rent in the capital.
Dai's new home costs him 6,400yuan and he has been living in it for nearly two months in courtyard at Chengfu Road,Haidian district.
Dai,who is one of the millions of migrants who moved to the capital from other parts of China seeking a better life and better job,said he realized his financial burden had become too great.
The Hunan native said he simply could not make ends meet (收支相抵) when he became an intern (實習(xí)生) at a Beijing-based construction design company in 2009.
"I rented a home at the very beginning----a small room in an apartment that cost me about 900yuan per month,"said Dai in an interview with local media."It was too expensive for me."Dai's father works on a construction site in his hometown and his mother is a cleaner.
Dai,who ended up becoming a formal employee of the company,figured out his own way to solve the problem----with inspiration from a housing design project at his company's exhibition early this year.
The project,named"An egg given birth to by the city",included a series of egg-like movable houses,with a karaoke house,chair house and trader's house in it.
Dai,who borrowed 6,400yuan from an older cousin and who got additional help from several friends,decided to make one of his own.He spent nearly two months building his"egg house"in his hometown,a village in southeast Hunan that is around 1,700kilometers from Beijing.
67.Where is this passage probably taken from?C
A.A story book.
B.A love film.
C.A news report.
D.A research report.
68.Why did he build the pad?C
A.Because he will sell it for money.
B.Because he has no house to get married in.
C.Because he doesn't have enough money to buy or rent a house.

11.Two years ago,a Dutch creative company opened a concept restaurant in Amsterdam that would be,in the words of its founder,"the perfect place to have dinner alone."The restaurant is called Eenmaal-this name has been translated into English as"dinner for one"-and was launched in an attempt to start removing the stigma(污名) connected to going out alone.Obviously picking up on the same cultural trend,a new fast-casual restaurant in Washington,D.C.has seating with individual dishes,an arrangement that satisfies single diners.
A study in the Journal of Consumer Research gets at why most people are so unwilling to leave home and do fun things on their own.In a series of experiments,the University of Maryland's Rebecca Ratner and Georgetown's Rebecca Hamilton showed that when it comes to going to the movies or to dinner,subjects(受試者) are in agreement that they won't enjoy themselves as much if they aren't going with any of their friends."People decide not to do things all the time just because they're alone,"Ratner told The Washington Post."But the thing is that they would probably be happier going out and doing something all by themselves."
The researchers found the main reason people didn't think they'd enjoy themselves was that they were afraid other people would think they didn't have any friends.They thought they'd be seen as unusual,antisocial,and strange for going somewhere without friends,but said they wouldn't attach these labels(標(biāo)簽) as strongly to someone they witnessed,say,sitting alone at a movie theater.
Ratner and Hamilton also ran some experiments to see how they might be able to push people to go out by themselves.They realized that there wasn't the same mental block against going to the grocery store alone,and supposed that this was because shopping stood for getting something done.Sure enough,subjects who considered going to a coffee shop on their own thought it sounded more enjoyable when they were told they would have reading material and could be productive than when they were going simply to enjoy a drink.Getting people to think of an experience as an accomplishment might make them more likely to do it without a friend's company.
In the absence of fellow diners,many of the customers at Eenmaal,the blog Food Republic reported,ended up staring at their phones anyway.These days,when a phone is never farther than an arm's length away,"alone"just doesn't mean what it used to.
25.The two restaurants mentioned in Paragraph 1were opened toB.
A.offer delicious and healthy food to customers
B.encourage people to have dinner out alone
C.satisfy different requirements from different customers
D.spread local culture and customs among visitors
26.According to Rebecca Ratner,what is the surprising finding of their research?C
A.It's hard for people to decide whether to go out with friends or by themselves.
B.People would rather stay at home than do something amusing out.
C.There may be more pleasure when doing things alone than with others.
D.People should learn some social skills and enjoy staying with others.
27.According to the passage,people who want to do things with their friendsA.
A.care much about others'opinions about them
B.have emotional or mental problems
C.a(chǎn)re too busy to complete their tasks alone
D.a(chǎn)re greatly affected by their friends
28.We can infer from the passage that doing things alone can bring people a sense ofC.
A.securityB.belongingC.a(chǎn)chievement   D.responsibility.

18.Which animal has the fastest snapping jaw (突然合住的顎)?If you're guessing a shark or perhaps a larger animal,you'll have to think smaller.The trap-jaw ant,which lives in Central and South America,moves its mouth parts at 35to 63meters per second.Another way to think about this is that the ant's jaws close at 125to 233kilometers per hour.That's 2,300times faster than the blink of an eye.
Scientists were able to measure the amazing jaw speed using high-speed video techniques.Sheila Patek,a biologist,says the key is that the jaws have a springy (有彈性的) system,which is critical in getting explosive (爆發(fā)性的) speeds.
Consider a bow and arrow.If you try to throw an arrow with your arm,it won't go very far.If you use a bow,elastic energy stored in the bow is freed almost immediately when you let go of the arrow with your finger.That's exactly what really fast organisms are doing.
Maybe even more amazing than how fast these ants grab food or even enemies is how they use this same energy to move.As the ant closes its jaws,it uses them to push off the ground-all faster than the eye can see without slow motion video.A snap of the jaw can send an ant up to 8.3centimeters into the air.That's like someone who is 1.7meters jumping 13meters high!Not only can they quickly escape from enemies,but often a group of ants will start jumping all at once.It would be hard for their enemies to grab just one.

33.The fast speed of the trap-jaw ants'jaws lies inB.
A.their light bodies
B.their springy systems
C.their living environment
D.the length of their jaws
34.What does the passage use"a bow and arrow"as an example to show?C
A.How an arrow gets so much energy to fly.
B.Why the trap-jaw ants have a springy system.
C.Why the trap-jaw ants'jaws move so fast.
D.How a bow and arrow works.
35.According to the passage,the trap-jaw ants'jaws keep them safe becauseD.
A.they can catch their enemies easily with their jaws
B.their jaws make them difficult to recognize
C.their jaws help them to find food easily
D.their jaws help them to escape from their enemies.

15.The more time scientists spend designing computers,the more they wonder at human brain.Tasks that puzzle the most advanced supercomputer-recognizing a face,reading a handwritten note-are just child's play for the 3-pound organ(器官).Most important,unlike any ordinary computer,the brain can learn from its mistakes.Researchers have tried for years to program computers to imitate the brain's abilities,but without success.
Now a growing number of designers believe they have the answer:if a computer is to work more like a person and less like an over-grown calculator,it must be built more like a brain,which distributes information across a vast interconnected web of nerve cells or neurons.
Ordinary computers work by following a chainlike sequence of detailed instructions.Although very fast,their processors can perform only one task at a time.This approach works best in solving problems that can be broken down into simpler logical pieces.The processors in a neural-network computer,by contrast,form a network much like the nerve cells in the brain.Since these artificial neurons are interconnected,they can share information and perform tasks at the same time.This two-dimensional approach works best at recognizing patterns.
Instead of programming a neural-network computer to make decisions,its maker trains it to recognize patterns in any solution to a problem by repeatedly feeding examples to the machine.Neural networks come in all shapes and sizes.Until now most existed as software simulatio ns (模擬品) because redesigning computer chips took a lot of time and money.By experimenting with different approaches through software rather than hardware,scientists have been able to avoid costly (昂貴的) mistakes.
56.It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that the most advanced supercomputerD.
A.can recognize a face and read a handwritten note
B.can learn from its mistakes
C.weighs only 3 pounds
D.can't distribute information across an interconnected web of nerve cells
57.An ordinary computer can usually do the following except thatD.
A.it must be programmed before it works
B.it can only solve one problem at a time
C.it is good at solving problems that can be broken down into simpler logical pieces
D.it is trained to make decisions
58.The main feature of a neural-network computer is thatA.
A.its processors act as an interconnected web of neurons
B.it is programmed to make decisions
C.its networks are of all shapes and sizes
D.its neurons are artificial
59.What does"this two-dimensional approach"in the third paragraph refer to?C
A.the conventional computer and the neural computer.
B.making decisions and recognizing patterns.
C.sharing information and performing tasks.
D.the computer and the human brain.
60.Scientists use software rather than hardware in their experiments becauseB.   
A.it can avoid redesigning computer chips      
B.it can save a lot of time and money   
C.it can avoid making mistakes             
D.it is more like the human brain.

16.Memory,they say,is a matter of practice and exercise.If you have the wish and really made a conscious(自覺的) effort,then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things.But even if you are successful,there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.
Sometimes you remember things that really did not happen.One morning last week,for example,I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night,yet I clearly remember locking it carefully the night before.
Memory"trick"work the other way as well.Once in a while you remember not doing something,and then find out what you did.One day last month,for example,I was sitting in a barber shop waiting for my turn to get a haircut,and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barber shop across the street from my office.
We always seem to find something funny and amusing in incidents caused by people's forgetfulness or absent-mindedness.Stories about absent-minded professors have been told for years,and we never get sick of hearing new ones.Unfortunately,however,absent-mindedness is not always funny.There are times when"trick"of our memory can cause us great trouble.
8.If you want to have a good memory,B.
A.you should force yourself to remember things
B.you should make a conscious effort of practice and exercise
C.you should never stop learning
D.you should try hard to remember tings
9.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A
A.One night the writer forgot to lock the front door.
B.One night the writer forgot having locked the front door
C.The writer remembered to lock the door
D.the writer remembered unlocking the front door
10.In the passage,the writer seems to tell youC.
A.forgetting things is serious and dangerous
B.a(chǎn)lways forgetting things is understandable
C.forgetting things at times is natural
D.the way to protect yourself from memory"tricks"
11.The best title for this passage isB.
A.How to play tricks on Memory
B."Tricks"Of Memory
C.Forgetfulness or Absent-mindedness is Dangerous
D.Get Rid of Absent-mindedness.
