Meet My Hobby

Hello, I’m Joshua. I collect lots of things. I have stamps, postcards, tickets and banknotes in my collection. They come from all over the world. I first grew interested in stamps, but when people gave me postcards with stamps on them, I started collecting them, too. It is easy to go from stamps to banknotes. Of course, they are only the smallest notes or my hobby would cost too much! I also keep bus, train and air tickets. Most of them are from China. I keep my collections in special books. As a result of my hobby, I know a lot about geography and foreign countries.

Hi, my name is Ray. My hobby is badminton. Of course, I enjoy playing the game very much. I developed my interest when I was only six. Now I have a lot of skill and am a very successful teenage player. I think the game is very relaxing and when you play well, it can be very creative. I am a fan of the game as well as a player. I collect books and magazines about the sport. I visit badminton websites and travel a long way to watch a good game. I love my hobby.

Hello, nice to meet you. I am May. My hobby is very creative. I am an artist. I collect all sorts of things — stones, pieces of cloth, coloured paper, cinema tickets -anything -and then make interesting pictures out of them. My mother likes my work too, but she says I am too untidy and she is always clearing up after me. I think work better when I have lots of things around me on the floor, bed and table. That’s what artists are like.

【题目】Inside Animal Minds

Irene Pepperberg, a graduate of Harvard University, was interested in learning if animals could think. The best way to do this, she reasoned, was to talk to them. So she bought an African grey parrot she named Alex and taught him to reproduce the sounds of the English language. “I thought if he learned to communicate, I could ask him questions about how he sees the world.” She explains.

When Pepperberg began her research with Alex, very few scientists agreed that animals were able to think. How could a scientist prove that animals might, in fact, have intelligence (智力)? “That’s why I started my studies with Alex.” Pepperberg says.

Alex the parrot was a surprisingly good talker. He learned how to use his voice to imitate (模仿) almost 100 English words, including those for foods, colors, shapes and numbers. Although imitation was once considered a simple skill, in recent years, scientists have reported that it’s a very difficult ability. It requires the imitator to form an image of the other person’s body and actions in their mind and then put his own body parts into same place. It is a behavior that shows self-awareness (自我意识). Because Alex had mastered many English words, Pepperberg could ask him questions about a bird’s basic understanding of the world. Alex could count, describe shapes and colors; he even had a basic understanding of the idea of zero.

Many of Alex’s skills are normally only for humans and primates (灵长类). But parrots, live a long time in mixed societies. And like primates, these birds must watch the changing relationships within the group. This may explain Alex’s ability to learn a human language. Parrots learn to pronounce and use our words so they can become a part of our group.

Many researchers say that creativity and language in animals, like other forms of intelligence, have developed. “People were surprised to discover that some primates make tools,” says Alex Kacelnik, an animal researcher at Oxford University. “But people also thought, ‘Well, they share our ancestry (祖先) — of course they are smart.’ Now we are finding these kinds of behaviors in some birds. But we don’t have a recently shared ancestry with birds. It means,” Kacelnik continues, “intelligence is not something only for primates or humans.”

1Which of Alex’s skills showed self-awareness?

A.Describing colors.

B.Doing simple maths.

C.Copying human sounds.

D.Understanding the idea of zero.

2What do parrots and primates have in common?

A.They both watch the relationships within the group.

B.They both lived a long time in the same society.

C.Neither of them can reproduce English words.

D.Neither of them likes to be part of a group.

3Kacelnik probably agrees that ______.

A.some birds are more intelligent than humans

B.birds share a common ancestry with humans

C.only humans and primates are able to think

D.some animals are surprisingly intelligent

4What is the passage mainly about?

A.Research that shows intelligence is not limited to humans.

B.Ways of teaching animals to become more intelligent.

C.How human and animal intelligence are different.

D.How animals can communicate with humans.

【题目】Have you ever had dreams about building a robot? Or putting together a spaceship? Or even seeing your face made out of chocolate? Done. All you need is a 3-D printer!

The possibilities of 3-D printing seem endless. All the user has to do is to design(设计) an object on the computer and choose a material(材料) to print in. The printers print in hundreds of different materials including glass, sugar and even skin! When the user presses “print”, the 3-D printer spreads the material layer() by layer and like magic the object is produced.

The first 3-D printer was invented in 1986 by an American, Charles Hull. But 3-D printing has only become cheap enough recently for most people to use. Designers now use 3-D printing to create unusual things. The Dutch artist Dirk Vander Kooj prints furniture made from old fridges. And doctors have used 3-D printing to print human body parts! The Telegraph reported in February that scientists from Cornell Medical College even printed a man-made ear.

But like a lot of new technologies, if 3-D printing gets into the wrong hands, it can be dangerous. In 2011 a group of four men in the US used 3-D printing to produce ATM skimmers (提款机盗刷器). These were placed on an ATM and stole over $400,000 from users of the ATM. It is terrible to think that criminals like them might one day use a 3-D printer to print a gun.

But for better or for worse, 3-D printing has been put into use. In a few years, you’ll probably be wondering how you could ever live without your 3-D printer!

1 _______ invented the first 3-D printer.

A. Charles Hull B. Dirk Vander Kooj

C. A doctor called Cornell D. Four men in the U.S

2What is the correct order for people to use a 3-D printer?

a. Choose a proper material.

b. Press the print button.

c. The 3-D printer spreads the material.

d. Use a computer to design an object.

A. a-b-c-d B. d-a-b-c

C. a-c-d-b D. d-c-b-a

3The underlined word criminals in the fourth paragraph might mean ______________ in Chinese.

A. 技术员 B. 军人 C. 罪犯 D. 用户

4According to the passage, people have NOT yet produced _________ with a 3-D printer.

A. some furniture B. a man-made ear

C. ATM skimmers D. a gun

5What does the writer think of the 3-D printer?

A. It is necessary only for our work.

B. It is helpful but dangerous.

C. It is too expensive for most people.

D. It is useless in our daily life.
