21、   One day, 12-year old Sean Redden logged on to the Internet and went to a popular chat room. Just as he was about to sign off, he saw the name of someone he'd never seen there before, Susan. Her brief message was “Would someone help me?”

Sean typed back, “What's wrong?” A moment later he received this message, “I can't breathe. Help me! I can't feel my left side. I can't get out of my chair.”

At first, Sean thought pretending to be paralyzed (瘫痪) was a bad joke. Then he wondered what if she really was sick. “Hey, Mom,” he called. “There's a kid here who's sick or something.” Sharon looked at the computer screen. “It's not just some game, is it?” she asked.

The message was not a joke. “Susan” was actually a 20- year- old student, working late at night at a college library near Helsinki, Finland-almost 7, 000 miles away from Sean's home in Texas. While searching the Internet, she began to feel terrible pain all through her body. The library was silent and empty. The nearest phone was outside in the hallway. She couldn't move that far. Any movement caused the pain to get worse. Then she realized she might get help on the Internet.

“I don't think it's a joke, Mom,” Sean said. And he typed, “Where are you?” After a long pause (暂停), the letters appeared: “Finland.” Sean and Sharon couldn't believe it. Not knowing what else to do, Sharon called the local police.

Sharon explained the situation to Officer Amy Schmidt. Schmidt told Sharon to try to get the sick girl's phone number. Texas police called the international telephone operator and asked to be connected to the proper agency (机构) in Finland. The call was connected to a nearby rescue station. The Texas police gave Susan's address to the Finnish operator. When Sean heard that, he typed, “Help is on the way.”

In a few minutes, Susan heard people running down the hallway outside the door. Suddenly, the door opened. Emergency workers and three policemen ran in. Susan turned once more to the computer, “They are here. Thanks. Bye-bye. ”

Four days later, the police in Texas received message from officers in Finland: “Thanks to her Internet friend, Susan had received medical treatment she badly needed and is doing well.”

22、   To move visual technology into the future, sometimes it helps to make a little noise. Researchers have used sound waves to produce floating 3-D images, create a sense of touch and even supply a soundtrack.

Since the 1940s, scientists have toyed with the concept of acoustic levitation(声悬浮), the use of soundwave vibrations(震动) to trap tiny things in midair. The technology has gained greater capabilities in the past decade. Some researchers believe this improvement could lead to applications such as contributing to novel 3-D printing methods, or creating displays that would be visible from any angle without requiring a screen.

Other researchers have also worked on visual displays that use acoustic levitation. In addition to visuals, the system can also produce audible noise to give the display a soundtrack. And the ultrasound speakers can also concentrate vibrations in one spot so that a finger might feel a sense pushing back—a little like the object shown by the floating image is really there. Soundwaves create a 3-D display!

Display without a screen is remarkably useful. It means that everybody in the room can see the image—any angle, location—and that’s extremely helpful. As a communications system, such a display might one day allow users to chat with a 3-D projection(投影) of a person who can turn his or her head to follow as they move around a room.

The display will require a lot more work before you can install it in your living room, however. So far, this has been done in the research laboratory. We need to push it a little bit harder. We need to do more analysis to see if it would make sense to create a real display that people would have at home. The current system can only show simple graphics, such as a smiley face or figure eight, in real time.

Still, we are optimistic about the potential for this type of technology. If the system had only one speaker-covered surface instead of two, it could generate images that are bigger than the device itself. We can’t make a TV image that’s bigger than the TV—even a projector has to have a projection screen that’s bigger than the image itself. But with a volumetric(容积的) display, a small, portable device might produce a much larger picture. We can imagine, in the future, having volumetric displays in watches, for example, that create large images that just project out of your watch.

【1】From the first two paragraphs soundwave vibrations can be used to _________.

A.catch very small objects in midair

B.develop 3-D printer’s capabilities

C.replace a creative display screen

D.compose soundtracks by making no noise

【2】What does the underlined word “novel” in paragraph 2refer to?

A.Different. B.New. C.Storied. D.Formal.

【3】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A.Room for the technical improvement.

B.Situations of the modern technology.

C.Praise for the cutting-edge technology.

D.Outlooks for the new technology.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the passage?

A.Hearing is Seeing—Sound Waves Create a 3-D Display.

B.Seeing is Believing—3-D Printing Methods Arrive.

C.Advancing Sense of Touch—3-D Images Float in the Air.

D.Promoting TV Technology—Chat with 3-D Projections.

23、Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons—for example, economic reasons—why they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both at tractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?

In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate(影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.

It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative(保守的)and do not like change.

Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.

【1】What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?

A．Some of them are not attractive.

B．Most of them are too expensive to preserve.

C．They are more pleasing than modern buildings.

D．They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.

【2】Which of the following is true according to the author?

A．We should reproduce the same old buildings.

B．Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.

C．Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.

D．No one understands why people speak against new buildings.

【3】According to the last paragraph, the author probably wants the architect and planner to _________.

A．destroy old buildings

B．put things in a different place

C．respect people's feelings for historical buildings

D．choose new architectural styles

【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?

A．To explain why people dislike change.

B．To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.

C．To warn that we could end up living in caves.

D．To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.

24、Money matters

Parents should help children understand money 【1】 . So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.

The basic function of money

Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It’s important to show your child how money is traded for the thing he wants to have. If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier (收银员). 【2】 When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex ways of using money.

Money lessons

Approach (着手处理) money lessons with openness and honesty . 【3】 If you must say no to a child’s request to spend money, explain, “You have enough toy trucks for now.” Or, if the request is for many different things, say, “You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.”

【4】

Begin at the grocery store. Pick out two similar brands of a product—a name-brand butter and a generic (无商标的) one for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money. 【5】 If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to buy other things with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for other purchases.

A．Tell your child why he can—or cannot—have certain things.

B．Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store.

C．Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you.

D．Wise decisions

E．The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest.

F．The value of money

G．Permit the child to choose between them.

25、   One day a few years ago, Mike was walking to class when he came across a Be The Match sign-up table and the organization caught his interest.
