Sometimes life gets a little dull. What used to be fun and different becomes boring. That is the time to look for something new. It is the time for a big idea to get your mind off everyday life. So why not search for extraterrestrial (地球外的) intelligence? Or even better, why not get your computer to do it for you?
Over two million people have joined the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence（SETI）project. Based in California, the SETI project analyzes information taken from a giant radio telescope based in South America. Its task is to look for signals from outer space that might prove that life exists on other planets.
Processing this information is far too big a job for one computer. So the SETI project workers divide the work among volunteers who visit their website. Each computer gets some information to work out from the SETI network through the Internet. This process is often known as “meta-computing”.
It is a wonderful thought. You are sleeping, eating a meal or going out with friends. All this time, your computer is searching the stars for signs that might show something is out there trying to get in touch. Volunteers are proud of being involved in the SETI project. It shows that they understand the potential (潜能) of computing. They know that it is more than just a way of working or playing games.
Meta-computing may also be creating intelligence as well as looking for it. This idea is based on the theory that human intelligence is created by the way in which different parts of the brain communicate with each other. As the saying goes, “The whole is more than the sum of its parts.” People who join the SETI project sometimes wonder whether their computer will become part of a huge network that has learned to think for itself.

Health officials issued a waring over common energy-saving l一ghtbulbs(灯泡) after research showed some types could potentially harm the skin and may even raise the risk of cancer.
A study by the Health Protection Agency (HPA) found that some eco-friendly lightbuulbs release levels of ultraviolet (UV) (紫外线) radiation that are above recognized safety limits. The agency urged people who work with lamps nearby to avoid spending more than one hour within a foot of the eco-friendly bulbs. The warning was directed at those using desk lamps for long periods, such as jewellery makers, and others who might have lights close to their faces, such as car mechanics.
John O’Hagan, a scientist at the HPA’s centre for radiation, chemical and environmental dangers, began tests on the ligthbulbs after patient groups raised concern about them. Among the groups were patients with a skin disease called lupus, which makes people highly sensitive to light.
The tests measured UV light from the lamps and found the highest levels of UV radiation, measured 2cm from the lightbulbs, were equivalent to being outside in direct sunlight in the summer. The most immediate risk from the lightbulbs is a reddening of the skin similar to sunburn, but there is also a small increased risk of skin cancer associated with this, again similar to that of sunburn.
The risk of health problems from the lightbulbs was not so high that people should remove them from their homes. People are advised to avoid using open lightbulbs for long close work until the problem is sorted out. It has confirmed that the government will not be reviewing its strategy on introducing energy efficient lightbulbs.
1.The underlined word “equivalent” in paragraph 4 most probably means ______.
|
A．equal |
B．vital |
C．relevant |
D．harmful |
2.In order not to be harmed by the UV radiation from some lightbulbs, people should ______.
|
A．stop using eco-friendly lightbulbs at home |
|
B．avoid using open lightbulbs for long close work |
|
C．take care not to expose their skin to direct sunlight |
|
D．urge the government to ban the use of lightbulbs |
3.In the next part, the author would most probably further explain _____.
|
A．why people needn’t remove the lightbulbs from their homes |
|
B．how researchers have planned to sort out the problem |
|
C．how the government has responded to HPA’s discovery |
|
D．how long people should work close to the open lightbulbs |
4.We can learn from the passage that ____.
|
A．health officials issued a warning over common lightbulbs. |
|
B．jewellery makers should avoid working with the eco-friendly bulbs for more than one hour |
|
C．John O’Hagan did tests on the lightbulbs with some patients |
|
D．people are advised to avoid using open lightbulbs for long close work |
Grown-ups know that people and objects are solid. At the movies, we know that if we reach out to touch Tom Cruise, all we will feel is air. But does a baby have this understanding?
To see whether babies know objects are solid, T. Bower designed a method for projecting an optical illusion（视觉影像） of a hanging ball. His plan was to first give babies a real ball, one they could reach out and touch, and then to show them the illusion. If they knew that objects are solid and they reached out for the illusion and found empty air, they could be expected to show surprise in their faces and movements. All the 16-to 24- week -old babies tested were surprised when they reached for the illusion and found that the ball was not there.
Grown-ups also have a sense of object permanence. We know that if we put a box in a room and lock the door, the box will still be there when we come back. But does a baby realize that a ball that rolls under a chair does not disappear and go to never-never land?
Experiments done by Bower suggest that babies develop a sense of object permanence when they are about 18 weeks old. In his experiments, Bower used a toy train that went behind a screen. When 16-week-old and 22-week-old babies watched the toy train disappear behind the left side of the screen, they looked to the right, expecting it to reappear. If the experimenter took the train off the table and lifted the screen, all the babies seemed surprised not to see the train. This seems to show that all the babies had a sense of object permanence. But the second part of the experiment showed that this was not really the case. The researcher substituted a ball for the train when it went behind the screen. The 22-week-old babies seemed surprised and looked back to the left side for the train. But the 16-week -old babies did not seem to notice the switch. Thus, the 16-week-old babies seemed to have a sense of “something permanence,” while the 22-week-old babies had a sense of object permanence related to a particular object.
1.The passage is mainly about _____.
|
A．babies' sense of sight |
B．effects of experiments on babies |
|
C．babies' understanding of objects |
D．different tests on babies' feelings |
2.In Paragraph 3, “object permanence” means that when out of sight, an object _____.
|
A．still exists |
B．keeps its shape |
C．still stays solid |
D．is beyond reach |
3.What did Bower use in his experiments?
|
A．A chair. |
B．A screen. |
C．A film. |
D．A box. |
4.Which of the following statements is true?
|
A．The babies didn't have a sense of direction. |
|
B．The older babies preferred toy trains to balls. |
|
C．The younger babies liked looking for missing objects. |
|
D．The babies couldn't tell a ball from its optical illusion. |
The college entrance exam is not only a big challenge (挑战) for Chinese high school students, but also a very important exam in the lives of South Korean students.
Although the long, cold winter has already started in South Korea, the annual (一年一度的) national exams have made the atmosphere very heated.
More than 675,000 South Korean high school graduates took the college entrance exam last Wednesday. They usually take exams in Korean, maths, sociology (社会学), history and foreign languages.
Officially there is one college place for every 1.33 students. But because all the students want to go to the top universities in the country, the competition can reach one place for 10 students. The students want to attend these colleges for both their famous names and better job opportunities.
Because students face fierce competition, they have to study very hard to realize their dreams. Park Seung said he and his classmates often go to school before 7:30 a.m. After school has finished at 6:30 p.m., most of them go to the library to continue their study instead of returning home. Since many libraries in South Korea are open 24 hours a day, they often stay long into the night. Many of the Senior 3 students only sleep for three to four hours a day. “I feel a lot of pressure, but I have to study very hard in order to make my dream come true. This is my lifetime goal and it will be a turning point in my life which could decide my future,” Park said.
The exam day is a very serious day for the whole of South Korea. Vehicles are not allowed within a 200-metre radius (范围) of all the test sites to make sure the students have quiet surroundings. Tooting (吹奏) of horns is forbidden, even airplanes are ordered to avoid landing and take-off near the test sites during listening comprehension test hours.
Students are told their scores in December before they apply for college. This is followed by face-to-face oral tests. There are public and private universities in South Korea. Many private universities are well-known, but their fees can be 18, 000 yuan each term. This has made a lot of students think again.
1.What do we know about South Korean annual national exams?
|
A．Senior 3 students have to compete fiercely because there is only one place for 10 students. |
|
B．Senior 3 students have to stay long into night at school. |
|
C．Many of the Senior 3 students can’t have enough sleep. |
|
D．Airplanes are ordered to avoid landing and take-off during national exams. |
2.We can infer that there are almost ________ college places for high school graduates.
|
A．675, 000 |
B．507, 520 |
C．500, 000 |
D．600, 000 |
3.The students want to study in top colleges mainly because ________.
|
A．they can succeed more easily in future |
B．they can learn more |
|
C．they can make more money |
D．it is interesting to study there |
4. Before students are allowed to colleges ________.
|
A．they will be interviewed |
B．they will ask questions of colleges |
|
C．they will not be tested any more |
D．first they will pay all the education fee at all |
