  Colour helps you see things.But man and some monkeys and apes(猿)are the only mammals(哺乳动物)that can see colour.To any other mammal, such as the dog, the world looks like a black-and-white photo.Dogs hunt mainly by listening and sniffing(闻).

  Like other animals, dogs see best when things move, the animals they hunt seem to know this.A hunted rabbit or deer will“freeze”.Then the dog may not see it at all.

  Birds can see colour.They need to, because they fly and need to find places to land.Colour helps them judge distance and shape.In this way they are able to catch bugs(昆虫)in the air or to light on branches.

  Some birds see things even better than you do.The birds that eat bugs can see them from far away.And even a very young bird can see a hawk high in the sky.So sharp eyes and a sense of colour help birds find food and also help them find where their enemies are.

  In the near future some parts of the world may soon have a new kind of television. It is called high definition television or H-D-T-V. The main difference between H-D-T-V and normal television is the picture. It is more clear and detailed (明细). This is because H-D-T-V has many more points and lines that make a television image (图像). Every colour television picture contains thousands of red, green and blue points, They all come together as an image in the eye of the person

watching. The points are organized in lines that go across the television screen. There are more than 500 lines in a normal television. H-D-T-V has two times as many. To get this clear picture, you must have a big screen. Experts say people using a small screen will see little difference.

  H-D-T-V also has clear sound. It is like the sound on a compact disc player (激光电唱机), or CD. All these improvements make H-D-T-V very costly. One kind in Japan now sells for more than 20 000 dollars. In the future, the cost is expected to be about 2 000 dollars. A major problem with H-D-T-V is its broadcast signal. The signal is bigger than for normal, because it carries more electronic in formation.

1.The main difference between an H-D-T-V and a normal television is ________.

[  ]

A.that the picture of normal TV is normal

B.that H-D-T-V is new and good

C.that H-D-T-V is so new that not all parts of the world have got it at present

D.that the picture of an H-D-T-V is more clear and detailed

2.A colour TV image is ________.

[  ]

A.made up of thousands of red, green and blue points

B.formed by the above-mentioned red, green and blue points which are organized in lines that go across the TV screen

C.a black-and-white picture

D.both A and B

3.An H-D-T-V has ________ lines.

[  ]

A.over 500
B.more than 250
C.more than 1 000
D.about 250

4.If you want to get a clear and detailed picture from an H-D-T-V, you ________.

[  ]

A.must have the bigger signal for H-D-T-V

B.have to get a big screen

C.should have a compact disc player

D.both A and B

5.According to the passage, which of the following is right?

[  ]

A.The H-D-T-V sets are not popular now because they are too expensive for most people.

B.The signal for an H-D-T-V is not bigger than that for the normal TV.

C.In the future an H-D-T-V will cost 10 times as much as it costs now.

D.In the future an H-D-T-V will be cheaper only because 2 000 dollars will be just equal to 20 000 dollars.

  After the end of the Second World War, the Russians became very interested in the possibility of travelling into space, and they launched (发射) several rockets which went round the Earth high above the air. To go higher, it is necessary to use a rocket, which will work excellently even when moving in outer space. The first rockets sent up into space carried no crew [(舰船、飞机等上的)乘务员]but only scientific instruments (仪器); the next carried animals and when these were brought back safely to earth the Russian scientists were ready to send up a man. They chose Major Yuri Gagarin to be the first pilot.

  Flying a spaceship is not the same as flying an ordinary aircraft. Instead of sitting at the controls, the pilot lies flat upon a couch; and the take-off is mainly automatic (自动的), however, the pilot must always be ready in case anything goes wrong. Fortunately, all went well; the Vostok was launched by its powerful motors, and before long it was more than 100 miles up, travelling at a speed of 5 miles a second or 18,000 m.p.h.-faster than any man had travelled before. Gagarin did not feel any sensation of speed, but he could look through the porthole (舷窗) of his pressurized cabin and see the Earth far below, looking like a vast globe instead of a flat plain. He could make out coastlines, rivers, forests, and clouds; he passed over Siberia, and then on to South America.

  Gagarin was busy all the time making scientific measurements. Also, as the Vostok was equipped with radio, he was able to give the scientists on the ground a running commentary (实况报道) on everything he saw. Before long the spaceship passed into the Earth’s shadow; when it came out of the shadow again, the horizon (地平线) glowed (发出光和热)a brilliant orange colour.

  When Gagarin had been in space for over an hour, he had nearly completed a journey right round the Earth, and it was time to prepare for the landing. This was perhaps the most dangerous part of the whole trip. If he came into the air too quickly, his ship would rub against the air particles, and the ‘friction (摩擦)would make the ship so hot that it would burn up. The speed of the Vostok had to be checked gradually (逐渐地). Again, all went well. The Vostok steadily (平稳地)dropped closer and closer to the ground until, when not far from the ground, Gagarin’s cabin was separated from the rest of the rocket. A huge parachute (降落伞) opened, and the cabin, with Gagarin in it, floated (飘,飘浮) gently down to a safe landing.

1.The Russians were ready to send up a man into space ________.

[  ]

A.when WWII was over

B.when they could go higher

C.after they had sent up a rocket with scientific instruments

D.after they had sent up animals and brought them safely back

2.Which of the following about Gngarin is NOT true?

[  ]

A.He controlled the take-off.

B.He traveled faster than any man had ever done.

C.He couldn’t feel how fast he was travelling.

D.He could see out of the spaceship.

3.The words “running commentary” (Sentence 2, Para. 3) probably means ________.

[  ]

A.scientific measurements

B.different views

C.Gagarin talking to scientists on the ground

D.the shadow and the color

4.For Gagarin landing was perhaps the most dangerous part of the trip because ________.

[  ]

A.the last part was by parachute

B.the landing was mainly automatic

C.the spaceship might burn up

D.the spaceship might hit the ground

5.What would be the most suitable title for the passage?

[  ]

A.Travelling in Space.

B.The First Man in space.

C.The Take-off and Landing of a Spaceship.

D.Gagarin, a National Hero.
