But machine power has its limitations (局限).It cannot survive without electricity and manhandling. If it doesnt have these two then it is completely useless. So man should not completely depend on machines. One more point is that because of the use of machines man has become lazy. This laziness has brought in many problems like obesity, arthritis (关节炎)and other health problems. But I am not saying that man should completely turn from machine power to man power. He should have a balance of both. Even I cant think of life without a car, a computer and a cooler.Sally 9-May-2019Humans only created the machines. So, human power is greater than machine power. To do the things quickly we created the machines. But machines cannot think. That thinking power beats machine power.Tina 17-May-2019But without humans there is no value of any machine. If someone wants to use his machine perfectly then one must have expert labor or man power.Tommy 19-May-2019Hi to all, my opinion is that human power is more powerful than machine power, because human beings created the machines. Human brain works more compared to machines.Mike 20-May-2019I think human power is better than machine power because even if we travel on foot to near places the money will not be wasted and we can get exercise.1. Who has a different opinion from others?A. Tommy.B. Johnson.C. Sally.D. Mike.2. What should man do according to Johnson?A. Man should completely depend on machine power.B. Man should live a life without a car, a computer or a cooler.C. Man should turn from machine power to man power completely.D. Man should keep a balance between human power and machine power.3. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Will Machine Power Prevent Human Power?B. What limitations Does Human Power Have?C. Will Machines Control the World in the Future?D. Which Is Greater, Human Power Or Machine Power?【答案】1. B 2. D 3. D【解析】【分析】这是一篇应用文。文中列举了人们对于人力和机器力孰优孰劣的观点。【1题详解】细节理解题。根据Johnson观点的第一句 “Yes, its very clear that machine power is better than man power. But machine power has its limitations (局限). (是的，很明显机器比人力好。但机器的力量也有其局限性。)”和下文“So, human power is greater than machine power.( 所以，人的力量比机器的力量大。)”， “Hi to all, my opinion is that human power is more powerful than machine power,(大家好，我的观点是，人类的力量比机器的力量更强大)”以及“I think human power is better than machine power(我认为人的力量比机器的力量强)”等句可知，Johnson认为机器的力量有限，而Sally、Tommy和Mike等人其他人认为人力比机器优越，说明他和其他人的观点不同。故选B。【2题详解】细节理解题。根据Johnson观点的最后两行“But I am not saying that man should completely turn from machine power to man power. He should have a balance of both. Even I cant think of life without a car, a computer and a cooler.(但我并不是说人应该完全由机器力量变成人力。他应该在两者之间取得平衡。就连我都无法想象没有汽车、电脑和冷却器的生活。)” 可知，Johnson认为，人应该在人力和机器之间保持一种平衡。故选D。【3题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，本文是征求大家对于人力和机器力，哪个更好的观点。这篇文章最好的题目是“人的力量和机器的力量，哪个更大?”故选D。BWhats black and white and read all over? Not newspapers, at least not anymore. In fact, if youre like most young people, you probably dont read the newspaper at all.In one recent survey, just 19 percent of 18-to-34-year-olds said they read a newspaper every day, while 37 percent watch local TV news and 44 percent visit Internet news sites daily. As people turn more and more to new technologies, they turn the pages of newspapers less and less. Theres a revolution (革命) in the way young people get news. says media consultant Merrill Brown. Just a generation (一代人) or two ago，the newspaper was the main way that many people got their news. Now, nearly every home has at least one TV set. Theres high-speed, wireless Internet both at home and in many public places.You no longer have to wait for a bundle of newsprint to arrive on your doorstep every morning. Thanks to new technology, if you want to know whats going on in the world, you can get breaking news immediately in more ways than one. So newspapers face a very big challenge. Raised on MTV and video games, todays kids and young adults want flashy displays, special effects, quick information, and the chance to interact (互动) in real time, even when theyre reading about serious problems.If newspapers cant find creative ways to be more than just ink on paper, some experts suggest, they might disappear completely. Traditional newspaper articles are supposed to be read from beginning to end, lack of interaction. With Web pages, on the other hand, theres more freedom. You can look through the things youre interested in, then follow links to other sources. You can join discussion groups, read other peopled opinions on a topic, or start a blog to express your own views.4. What is the passage mainly about?A. The new technologies.B. Different news sources.C. The future of the Internet.D. The disappearing newspaper.5. What can be inferred from the survey?A. TV has become the major source of news.B. New technologies have replaced the traditional one.C. Newspapers are no longer the major source of news.D. More than half of the 18-to-34-year-olds visit news sites daily.6. Why do newspapers face a big challenge?A. Newspapers are full of changes.B. Newspapers provide interactions.C. New technologies attract all the people.D. Getting news from other ways is quicker.7. According to the passage, how will the future of the newspaper be?A. Uncertain.B. Promising.C. Bright.D. Surprising.【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. A【解析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述随着现代媒体技术的发展，阅读传统报纸的年轻人越来越少。报纸如果不创新，可能会消失。【4题详解】主旨大意题。文章第一段“In fact, if youre like most young people, you probably dont read the newspaper at all. (事实上，如果你和大多数年轻人一样，你可能根本不看报纸)”引出本文要谈论的话题，看报纸的人很少了。文章最后一段中“If newspapers cant find creative ways to be more than just ink on paper, some experts suggest , they might disappear completely. (一些专家认为，如果报纸不能找到创造性的方法，而不仅仅是纸上的墨水，它们可能会完全消失)”，首尾相呼应，点明报纸这个主题，而且重点介绍看报纸人越来越少，报纸很有可能会消失这一现象，文章二段和三段就是详细分析了这一现象以及原因，所以本文主要就是关于要消失的报纸，故选D。【5题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中“In one recent survey, just 1 9 percent of 1 8-to-34-year-olds said they read a newspaper every day, while 37 percent watch local TV news and 44 percent visit Internet news sites daily. As people turn more and more to new technologies, they turn the pages of newspapers less and less. (在最近的一项调查中，只有19%的18到34岁的年轻人说他们每天看报纸，37%的人看本地电视新闻，44%的人每天访问互联网新闻网站。随着人们越来越多地使用新技术，他们看报纸越来越少)”可知，看报纸的人越来越少，在调查中，看报纸人数的比重只有19%，由此推知，报纸不再是主要的新闻资源，故选C。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中“Thanks to new technology, if you want to know whats going on in the world, you can get breaking news immediately in more ways than one. (多亏了新技术，如果你想知道世界上发生了什么，你可以通过多种方式立即获得突发新闻)”可推断出，因为新技术，获得新闻的方式有更多更快，这让报纸面临着挑战。故选D。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“If newspapers cant find creative ways to be more than just ink on paper, some experts suggest , they might disappear completely. (一些专家认为，如果报纸不能找到创造性的方法，而不仅仅是纸上的墨水，它们可能会完全消失)”可知，报纸如果还是传统的方式，没有创新的话，可能会消失。由此推知，报纸以后会怎样，还是很难说的，故选A。CSome dogs can be really mean. They fight with other dogs and bark (吠) at you on the street when you walk by. Now scientists say that some dogs are badly behaved because they were taken away from their mothers too early. Scientists say this can turn them into aggressive (有攻击性的) dogs.Researchers at the University of Milan in Italy studied 140 dogs aged between 18 months and seven years, according to the Daily Mail newspaper. Half of these dogs had been taken away from their mothers and given new homes when they were between 30 and 40 days old. The other half were taken away when they were 60 days old.Researchers asked the owners where their pets were from and what breed (品种) they were. Then they asked owners to write down whenever their dogs behaved badly. Examples of bad behavior included biting furniture and clothes, barking a lot, and being aggressive toward people. Some dogs got angry if other dogs took away their food and toys. Some got terrified when they were walking outdoors or if they heard a sudden noise.The scientists found that bad behavior was more common in dogs that had been taken away from their mothers between 30 and 40 days old. Behavior was also worse in dogs that had been taken away early and put in pet shops than those that had been removed later.So if you want to keep a pet dog, think twice before getting one younger than two months old. Your puppy could grow up to be a real troublemaker.8. What does the underlined word “mean” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. Curious.B. Sharp.C. Unkind.D. Intelligent.9. What happened to the dogs taken away from their mothers too early?A. Barking less.B. Behaving poorly.C. Being brave.D. Being friendly.10. What do we know about the experiment?A. 140 dogs aged 1 8 days to 7 months are studied.B. Breeds have a close connection with bad behavior .C. The earlier dogs are removed, the worse they behave.D. All the dogs arent taken away from their mothers after birth.11. What is the writers advice on keeping a pet dog?A. Stopping their bad behaviors.B. Thinking little for a troublemaker.C. Keeping a dog older than two months.D. Keeping a dog younger than two months.【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. C【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了狗如果过早离开它母亲，以后可能会更有攻击性这一现象。【8题详解】词句猜测题。根据划线部分下一句“They fight with other dogs and bark (吠) at you on the street when you walk by. (他们会和其他狗打架，当你经过的时候，还会在街上对你吠叫)”可知有些狗是不友好的，由此推知划线词意为“不友好的”与unkind同义。故选 C。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“Now scientists say that some dogs are badly behaved because they were taken away from their mothers too early. Scientists say this can turn them into aggressive (有攻击性的) dogs. (现在科学家们说，有些狗行为不好是因为它们被过早地从母亲身边带走。科学家说这会使它们变成攻击性很强的狗) ”以及第四段中“The scientists found that bad behavior was more common in dogs that had been taken away from their mothers between 30 and 40 days old. (科学家们发现，30到40天大的狗被从母亲身边带走，这样狗的不良行为更为常见) ”，可知，狗如果过早被从母亲身边带走，他们会有很多有攻击性的、不良的行为，故选B。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“Behavior was also worse in dogs that had been taken away early and put in pet shops than those that had been removed later. (早期被带走并放进宠物店的狗的行为也比后来被搬走的狗更糟糕)”可知，被带走的越早，狗的行为越糟糕，故选C。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“So if you want to keep a pet dog, think twice before getting one younger than two months old. (所以，如果你想养一只宠物狗，在养一只不到两个月大的狗之前要三思而后行) ”可知，收养两个月大以下的宠物狗要慎重，那么如果要养狗的话，应该养两个月以上的狗，故选C。DHave your parents ever told you any strange or alarming things about protecting your eyes? For example,they might have said that youd go blind from reading in the dark, but you could make up for it by eating a lot of carrots. This is just one of the misunderstandings you may have heard of. Below are picked out scientific explanations for three mistakes that people often make about eyes. Lets take a look.Can eating carrots improve your vision? If eating carrots helps us see better, why do so many students end up wearing glasses? Carrots are rich in vitamin A, which is essential for our eyes general health. Vitamin A helps the eyes to make light into signals, allowing people to see in low light conditions. However, eating more carrots doesnt help you see better. A certain minimum amount will help, but a large number of carrots will not give you superhuman vision or allow you to get rid of your glasses.If your parents have bad eyesight, will you have bad eyesight, too? Parents are often concerned about the causes of nearsightedness (近视).Many people believe that if parents are shortsighted, their children will suffer from the same problems. Nearsightedness can be genetic (遗传的). A study by the American Optometric Association found that if both parents are nearsighted, theres a 33 to 60 percent chance that the child is. For children who have one parent with nearsightedness, the chance is 23 to 40 percent, and its down to 6 to 15 percent for kids with non-nearsighted parents. So no matter how bad your parents vision is, you still have the chance of good eyesight.Is it true that people who are color blind cant see colors? Color blindness doesnt mean that someone cant see colors at all, like a black and white movie. Most commonly,
