8、mer Games. Only athletes 4_ have reached the 5_ (agree) standard for their event will be admitted as 6_(compete). 7_ may come from everywhere in the world. At first only Greek cities could join in and they used to compete against each other just 8_ the honor of winning. No other countries could join
9、 in, 9_ could slaves or women! 10_ , nowadays any country can take part in if their athletes are good enough. 1_ four years, athletes from all over the world together to take 2_ in the Olympic Games.

Hippomenes threw an apple in front of Atlanta when she was running past. When she stopped to pick it 9_, he was able to run 10_ her and won. Unit 3 Computers The comp
14、uter is a machine that was born to work for people since 1_ birth. When it first came into being, it was just a 2_(calculate) machine. 3_ is to say, it could 4_ be used to work out problems with numbers. Later, it was developed into an Analytical Machine 5_ followed simple instructions from cards wi
15、th holes. This was such a great revolution in technology.A computer can “think” as human race once it is programmed with proper programs, 6_ it can not “think” itself without mans help, so we say a computer has artificial intelligence.The computer was completely changed when it got its new transisto
16、r in 7_ 1960s. its size became smaller and smaller 8_ its memory became larger and larger. And thanks to the Internet, computers were connected to one 9_ as a huge family by an endless network. Actually, the computer could even talk to human being 10_(use) the language called BASIC. I was born in 16
17、42 in France. After I was programmed by an operator who used cards with holes, I could think 1_(logical). In 1936, my real father, Alan Turing, described how computers could be made 2_ (work) in a book and solved any mathematical problem by building a 3_(universe) machine. People were surprised at m
18、y artificial intelligence. At first, I was as large as a room. 4_ time going by, I 5_(make) smaller are smaller. 6_ the early 1960s, I got a family 7_(connect)by a network. My memory became so large 8_ even I couldnt believe it. And my memory has developed so much that I never forget anything. I cou
19、ld share information 9_ others and talk to each other by a net. My family and I have been used by billions of people 10_ the 1970s. Im happy that I have truly been built to serve human race since my birth. 1_(person), I think the team that won first place cheated. They had developed a new type of pr
20、ogram just before the 2_(compete). So we need to encourage our programmer 3_ (improve) our intelligence too. We are determined to create an even 4_(good) system. In this way our programmer is like our coach. She programs us with all the possible moves she has seen while 5_(watch) human games. Then s
21、he prepares 6_ (rely) moves to use if a new situation arises. In this way I can make up new moves 7_ (use) my “artificial intelligence”. I would really like to play against a human team, 8_ I have been programmed to act just like them. After all, 9_ the help of my electronic brain 10_ never forget a
22、nything, using my intelligence is what Im all about. Unit 4 Wildlife protection Daisy had always longed to help 1_(danger) species of wildlife. One day she woke 2_ and found a flying carpet by her bed. “Where do you want to go?” it asked. Daisy responded immediately. “Id like to see some endangered

24、weaters for people like you. As a result, we are now 8_ endangered species.” At that Daisy cried,“Im sorry I didnt know that. I wonder 9_ is being done to help you.

25、ange dream. She flew on a 1_(fly) carpet to Tibet. When she turne d around in Zimbabwe, she found that she 2_(watch) by an elephant. The elephant told her that they used to be an endangered species and that farmers hunted them 3_ mercy. Nowadays good things are being done 4_(save) local wildlife and
26、 elephants numbers are increasing. In a thick rainforest, A monkey was protecting himself 5_ mosquitoes. The monkey usually rubs a millipede insect over his body 6_ contains a powerful drug 7_(affect) mosquitoes. He also asked Daisy to pay more attention 8_ the rainforest 9_ he live and appreciate h
27、ow the animals live together. 10_ an experience!Unit 5 Music Have you ever dreamed of being famous 1_ a famous musician? Many singers, at first, may form a band to practice their music. And then they may get the chance to give 2_(perform) in pubs or clubs. Later they may gradually become popular. 3_
