    We know the famous ones—the Thomas Edisons and the Alexander Graham Bells —but what about the less famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper(雨刮器)？Shouldn’t we know who they are?
    Joan Mclean think so. In fact, Mclean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so strongly about this matter that she’s developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning “who” invented “what”, however, Mclean also likes her students to learn the answers to the “why” and ”how” questions. According to Mclean,” When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.”
    So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldn’t be a built-in device for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started drafting out solutions. One of her ideas, a lever(操作杆)on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiper.    
    Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations，It’s hard to imagine driving without Garrett A. Morgan’s traffic light. It’s equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J. Blodgett’s innovation that makes glass invisible, Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?
    小题1:By mentioning “traffic light” and “windshield wiper”, the author indicates that countless inventions are      .
    A．beneficial, because their inventors are famous
    B．beneficial, though their inventors are less famous
    C．not useful, because their inventors are less famous
    D．not useful, though their inventors are famous
    小题2:Professor Joan McLean’s course aims to_____.
    A．add colour and variety to students’ campus life
    B．inform students of the windshield wiper’s invention
    C．carry out the requirements by Mountain University
    D．prepare students to try their own invention
    小题3:Tommy Lee’s invention of the unbreakable umbrella was _________.
    A．not eventually accepted by the umbrella producer
    B．inspired by the story behind the windshield wiper
    C．due to his dream of being caught in a rainstorm
    D．not related to Professor Joan McLean’s lectures
    小题4:Which 0f the following can best serve as the title of this passage?
    A  How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers?
    B  How to Design a Built-in Device for Cleaning the Window?
    C  Shouldn’t We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper?
    D  Shouldn’t We Develop Invention Courses in Universities?

    There are some very good things about open education. This way of teaching allows the students to grow as people, and to develop their own interests in many subjects. Open education allows students to be responsible for their own education, as they are responsible for what they do in life. Some students do badly in a traditional classroom. The open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning. Some students will be happier in an open education school. They will not have to worry about grades or rules.

    阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。
    B 
    　Two experts did some experiments on two groups of people — one who tended to sleep less than the
    people around them and the other group more.
    According to their report that the “short sleepers” had been more or less average in their sleep needs until the men were in their teens. But at about age 15 or so, the men automatically began to cut down their nightly sleep time because of pressures from school, work, and other activities. These men tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as bothersome interruptions in their daily routines.
    　　 In general, these “short sleepers” appeared with ambition, active, energetic, cheerful, and conformist (不动摇) in their opinions, and very sure about their career choices. They often held several jobs at once, or even worked full time while going to school. And many of them had a strong urge to appear “acceptable” or “outstanding” to their friends and associates.
    　　When asked to recall their dreams, the “short sleepers” did poorly. More than this, they seemed to prefer not remembering them. In similar fashion, their usual way of dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed, and then to keep busy in the hope that the trouble would go away.
    　　The experts also stated that those “long sleepers” were quite different indeed. They reported that those men had been lengthy sleeps since childhood. They seemed to enjoy their sleep, protected it, and were a bit concerned when they were occasionally deprived of their desired 9 hours of nightly bed rest. They tended to recall their dreams much better than the “short sleepers did.
    　　Many of the “long sleepers” were shy, anxious, introverted (内向), inhibited (压抑), passive, mildly depressed, and unsure of themselves (particularly in social situations). Several openly express it that being asleep was a good escape from their daily problems.
    All in all, proper time of sleeping should be admired, not too long, neither too short.
    小题1:According to the report, ______.
    A．many “short sleepers” need less sleep just by nature
    B．many “short sleepers” are obliged to reduce sleep time by work
    C．long sleepers sleep a longer period of time during the day
    D．many “long sleepers” formed sleeping habit during childhood
    小题2: Many “short sleepers” are likely to hold the view that ______.
    A．sleep is a very efficient escape from the reality
    B．sleep is just an item which should be denied by them
    C．sleep might be a disturbing thing for their daily business
    D．sleep is the best way to deal with psychological troubles
    小题3: It is stated in the forth paragraph that “short sleepers” ______.
    A．are ideally energetic under the pressures of life
    B．often ignore the ill effect of not enough sleep
    C．do not know how to relax themselves properly
    D．are more unlikely to run into mental problems
    小题4:Which of the following is nearest to the meaning of “… were a bit concerned” in the fifth Para?
    A．appeared troubled B．became energetic
    C．felt dissatisfied D．were much depressed
    小题5:Which of the following is NOT correct according to the passage?
    A．If one sleeps improperly, his performance suffers and his memory is weakened
    B．The sleep patterns of short sleepers are the same as those shown by “long sleepers”
    C．Long and short sleepers differ in their attitudes towards sleep
    D．Short sleepers may have been better off if they have more rest

      Environmental protection is frequently talked about nowadays. The authorities are doing their best to arise the public awareness of the vital importance of the environmental protection. This issue is, indeed, worth following up.
    Environmental protection is closely related not only to our personal life, but also to the entire human race and the world’s further development. For one thing, the environment, in a narrow sense, determines the quality of our individual life. The air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, etc. , all come directly from the environment. If they continue to be contaminated, we may have neither clean water, nor healthy food. For another thing, in a broader sense, the environment plays a decisive role in fate of mankind. As is known to all, the earth, up to now, is human being’s only dwelling place. We can expect that some day we will live on another planet, but I doubt that this day will come earlier than the day when the earth becomes a globe of waste, if we keep damaging the environment. Finally, the environment is essential to the further development of the world. Extensive industrialization, which has brought about all the convenience and facilities we enjoy today, has been depending on the comprehensive exploitation of the earth’s natural resources found in the environment. If we do not protect the environment properly, further development cannot be guaranteed. In a word, to protect the environment is an urgent task.
    Nevertheless, environmental protection is indeed a demanding task. Many people are still, either unconscious of the urgency of the task or deliberately damaging the environment for the interests of their own. Hence, we should adopt severe measures to prohibit people from doing more harms to the environment. Meanwhile, we need to make the gravity of the present situation known to all. In other words, punishment and instruction should be equally emphasized. Only in this way can we look forward to a cleaner and greener world.
    小题1:.
    . What does the underlined word contaminated（in paragraph 2）probably refer to?
    A．pollutedB．protectedC．wastedD．guaranteed
    小题2:.
    The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to ________.
    A．stress the importance of protecting environment
    B．enjoy beautiful environment happily
    C．try to develop our industrialization fast
    D．take severe measures to the environmental destroyers
    小题3:.
    . From the passage we can know that ________.
    A．environmental protection is indeed a demanding task to our government
    B．not all the people in the world realize the urgency of the task
    C．only a few people are damaging the environment on purpose
    D．some day we will live on another planet before the earth is damaged

    Scientists are closely concerned with the structure of buildings and with the quality of building materials． The World health Organization （WHO) observes that the introduction of air conditioning and energy conservation （保护) measures have been accompanied by growing problems of indoor air quality． Some pollutants arise from insulation （隔音) products, some from moving cars, and others from modern housing materials． As many Europeans spend up to 90% of their lives in buildings, the health effects of the indoor climate are very important．
    　　Some construction materials, including fiberboard, insulation foams and certain glues for man-made wood floor boards, for example, give out organic products such as formaldehyde （甲醛)． Heat and humidity increase the release of formaldehyde and the gas seriously harms the eyes． Paint, lacquer, etc． can also release dangerous gas into indoor air．
    　　Construction materials can cause serious damage, especially when they contain asbestos（石棉）． Asbestos is naturally present in rock formations worldwide． It belongs to a family of mineral substances made up of solid, non-combustible（非易燃品） fiber． These properties make asbestos a highly sought-after construction material． As early as 1931, however, public health officers in the United Kingdom revealed the connection between breathing in asbestos dust and such diseases as lung cancer．
    　　The land on which a building is sited may also contribute to pollution． Some kinds of granite or similar rocks contain traces of radium． As it breaks down, this naturally radioactive element produces some kind of radioactive gas that goes through tiny cracks in walls, floors and building materials, and makes its way into the building and the rooms． The better the homes are insulated, the more is the dangerous gas in indoor air． The main effect of this dangerous gas on health is to increase the risk of lung cancer．
    小题1:What is the main idea of the passage?
    A．Some building materials pollute indoor air．
    B．Some factors cause indoor air pollution．
    C．Asbestos can cause lung cancer．
    D．The land on which houses are built contributes to indoor pollution．
    小题2:Why are Europeans particularly concerned with building materials?
    A．Lots of building materials there are radioactive．
    B．They stay home up to 90% of their lives．
    C．They have a high rate of lung cancer．
    D．They spend most of their time indoors．
    小题3:Why is asbestos a sought-after building material?
    A．It is a kind of insulation foam．
    B．Asbestos will not give out dangerous gas．
    C．This material is not easy to catch fire．
    D．It is rarely present in rock formations．
    小题4:Why should we be careful about the land on which a building is to be sited?
    A．To determine whether the land is firm enough for a building to be sited on．
    B．To make sure that the land contains no radioactive material．
    C．To make certain that the land releases no formaldehyde or other gases．
    D．To check whether it contains any combustible materials．
