    The Batsquatch is described as a great winged bat. It’s reported that it lives in the shadows(阴暗处) of Mt. Saint Helens. It has purple skin, red eyes and the character is quite similar to the bat’s. Since reports tell it likes eating small animals like chickens, goats and pigs, some believe that it is actually a flying primate(灵长目动物). But researchers say that it is more closely related to the fruit bat of northern America.
    Fear still fills the hearts of men, women and children of Washington. In May of 1980 during the eruption of Mount Saint Helens, the Batsquatch showed itself in the shadows of clouds from the eruption. In 1994, a local mountaineer was able to take pictures of the Batspuatch making the rumor(谣言) seem real. During this event some farm animals seemed to disappear though luckily no humans were reported missing at the time. The local mountaineer told about his meeting with the Batsquatch. When he suddenly heard a loud deep voice from the shadows, the mountaineer was knocked down. He tried to look for the creature(生物) that had made the sound. He saw a great creature with purple wings in the sky. It looked like it was about 30 feet tall.
    The mountaineer kept this story a secret in fear of being laughed at by others but when new stories came in about the Batsquatch he shared his story.
    The reality of the Batsquatch can no longer be ignored. It is only a creature that is trying to live. Respect! This is how we should take news such as this. Respect for a living creature instead of fear.

    Global Positioning Systems (全球定位系统) are now a part of everyday driving in many countries.These satellite­based systems provide turn­by­turn directions to help people get to where they want to go.However，they can also cause a lot of problems，send you to the wrong place or leave you completely lost.Many times，the driver is to blame.Sometimes a GPS error is responsible.Most often，says Barry Brown，it is a combination of the two.
    Barry Brown is with the Mobile Life Centre in Stockholm，Sweden.He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States.There he borrowed a GPS­equipped car to use during his stay.Mr Brown says，“They just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination.And，then it wasn’t until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived.They actually put their home address in.So again，the GPS is kind of ‘garbage in garbage out’．”
    Mr Brown says this is a common human error，but what makes the problem worse has to do with some of the shortcomings，or failures，of GPS equipment.He says，“One problem with a lot of the GPS units is they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn.Because they just give you the next turn，sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it’s going to the wrong place.”
    Mr Brown says，“One of the things that struck us，perhaps the most important thing was that you have to know what you’re doing when you use a GPS.There are these new skills that people have developed.There are these new competencies (资格) that you need to have to be able to use a GPS because they sometimes go wrong.This goes against a common belief that GPS systems are for passive drivers who lack navigational skills.”
    Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better we need a better understanding of how drivers，passengers and GPS systems work together.
    小题1:According to Barry Brow，in most cases，________are blame for the problems.
    A．human errors
    B．GPS errors
    C．errors caused by both drivers and GPS
    D．errors caused by putting in a wrong address
    小题2:The example of Barry Brown’s friend is used to show that________.
    A．GPS is nothing but garbage
    B．GPS is still not accurate enough
    C．it is difficult for drivers to use GPS equipment
    D．sometimes drivers are responsible for the problem
    小题3:It can be inferred from the second paragraph that________.
    A．it’s impossible to drive from the east to the west in the US
    B．Barry Brown’s friend went to Stockholm，Sweden by plane
    C．given wrong instructions，the GPS will produce wrong results
    D．GPS systems are for passive drivers who lack navigational skills
    小题4:Which of the followings is one of the shortcomings of GPS equipment?
    A．It just tells the driver to turn once at a time.
    B．It gives the driver the overview.
    C．Its screen is too small to be seen clearly.
    D．It is only suitable for passive drivers.
    小题5:What’s the main idea of the text?
    A．GPS systems are helpful for drivers.
    B．Driving with GPS can be difficult to navigate (导航)．
    C．Drivers should understand how GPS systems work.
    D．Drivers should learn to use GPS systems correctly.

    The UN Security Council was created in 1945. It is made up of 10 rotating (轮值的) members and five permanent members, which have a veto, the power to stop a resolution (决议). Most UN members now consider the organization's structure outdated． But any changes need the agreement of two-thirds of the 191 members, and no veto from any of the five permanent council members.
    Last year, Japan, Germany, Brazil and India formed a lobbying (游说) group to get permanent council seats. But North and South Korea have doubts about Japan, Italy opposes Germany for a seat, Pakistan is against India's candidacy (候选资格) and Mexico and Argentina frown on Brazil.
    A wave of emotion swept through China last week as millions voiced their opposition to Japan's permanent membership of the United Nations (UN) Security Council. By last Friday over 22 million Chinese had signed an online petition (请愿) against Japan's bid for a permanent seat on the council.
    According to major Chinese websites, such as sina.com, more than 170,000 overseas Chinese also signed． This is the first online activity of its kind．
    The petition was started by US-based Alliance for Preserving the Truth of the Sino-Japanese War (抗日战争史实维护会). They want Japan to apologize for crimes during World War II. The group also plans to present the petition to the UN this autumn.
    Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao said he didn't think the petition shows anti-Japanese feeling. He believed instead it is a request for Japan to take a responsible attitude towards history.
    小题1:What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?
    A．Function of the UN in world affairs.B．Members of the UN.
    C．Facts about the UN Security Council. D．Reform of the UN Security Council.
    小题2: Which statement is true according to the text?
    A．Four countries, such as Japan, Germany, Brazil and India are applying for joining the UN.

    BEIJING, Oct. 13 (Xinhuanet) -- A recent sudden temperature drop in most areas of China has set off fears of a possible return of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and the country has mobilized to prepare for another outbreak.  
    North China's Tianjin Port resumed a temperature reporting system on Sunday. Any passengers through the port with a temperature above 38 degrees Celsius would be provided medical observation and reported to relevant authorities. 
    Zhong Nanshan, a well-known anti-SARS scientist during the last outbreak, said it was unlikely the SARS virus would die out naturally and it would definitely come back, but predicted no widespread epidemic outbreak and the epidemic would not cause serious damage again.
    Caught unprepared this spring, Chinese authorities have learned to act quickly before the epidemic can take a hold.
    Chinese Vice-Premier Wu Yi Thursday urged strictly implementing the daily SARS epidemic reporting system and warned that people delaying reporting or hiding the true situation would be severely punished.
    In Beijing, the disease control center in Dongcheng District has recovered a 24 hour schedule for possible epidemic breakout. Every afternoon before 3:00 o'clock, the center receives SARS reports from every hospital in the district and then reports to the Beijing municipal disease control center and health bureau.
    In Beijing Xiehe Hospital, plans are ready for fever patients to receive treatment in a special section. Doctors in that ward, wearing protective clothing, will observe patients for any possible respiratory diseases. Patients with high fever and symptoms of respiratory diseases are required to be observed for one or two weeks.
    North China's Shanxi Province and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the two other hardest-hit areas in the last SARS crisis, have both set up an emergency response mechanism and mobilized all concerned departments. The system has also been set up in rural Inner Mongolia.
    People are urged to pick up again the healthy habits they formed during the last SARS outbreak. Zhong Nanshan said the most important way to prevent SARS was to play more sports and maintain good ventilation. Spitting in public and eating wild animals were very dangerous, said Zhong.  
    小题1:This passage is mainly about_______.
    A．Zhong Nanshan, a well-known anti-SARS scientist
    B．What happened during the first outbreak of SARS
    C．How well China is prepared for another likely outbreak of SARS
    D．What hospitals in Beijing have done
    小题2:Which isn’t included in the measures taken by the Chinese?
    A．A temperature reporting system.B．The daily SARS epidemic reporting system.
    C．A 24-hour schedule for possible epidemic breakout.
    D．An emergency response mechanism all over the country.
    小题3:Which doesn’t belong to Beijing’s reaction to the possible epidemic?
    A．SARS reports must be given to the disease control center and health bureau.
    B．Fever patients receiving special sections are ready.
    C．High fever patients are to be observed for 3 weeks.
    D．Doctors treating high fever patients will wear protection clothes.

    The Cave of Lascaux
    It was Thursday, September 12,1940.Four French teens were out exploring in the woods off the northern slopes of the Pyrenees.Many years before, an old pine tree fell and left a large hole in the ground.The teenagers were curious and they started to explore the area and fell into one of the most important archeological(考古的) finds of the twentieth century!
    There are over a hundred limestone(灰岩) caves in this region of France.Some were inhabited by humans thousands and thousands of years ago.Between 15,000 and 17,000 years ago, humans painted lively creatures such as cows, bulls, horses, and even cats on the walls of the caves.
    Why did they mark these walls? Was it to tell a story? Was it to record a famous battle? There are many mysteries and ancient secrets still waiting to be discovered in the cave of Lascaux.There were dots in many of the paintings.What do these dots mean? Were they meant to record time, a calendar? Deep in the cave, there is a drawing of a “birdman”．What does this mean? Was it a place for sacred ceremonies? No one knows for sure.
    The actual cave of Lascaux was closed in 1963 due to the overabundance of tourists visiting the site.The carbon dioxide that people were breathing out was causing damage to the fragile(易损的) cave paintings.Up till now the Lascaux cave is still closed for tourists.Only a specialist can visit the cave by a special order that must be made out almost a year in advance.Not more than six persons can enter the cave per day.Two days a week, the cave is completely closed.Due to the great interest of numerous tourists, in 1983 Lascaux Ⅱwas opened for tourism.It is an exact replica of the cave of Lascaux.

    All of us eat every day, but most of us don’t understand nutrition(营养). How much do you know about good nutrition? Are the following statements true or false?
    1. People who don’t eat meat can stay healthy.
    True. As long as people eat enough milk, eggs and meat alternates(替代物), they can get enough protein.
    2. Fresh vegetables cooked at home are always more nutritious than canned vegetables.
    False. The difference depends more on how vegetables are prepared than whether they are fresh or canned. Vegetables cooked in too much water can lose a large quantity of vitamins.
    3. Food eaten between meals can be just as good for health as food eaten at regular meals.
    True. Nutritional value depends on what types of food you eat, not when you eat them. Eating an egg or an orange between meals can contribute to a good diet.
    4. Taking extra vitamins beyond the recommended daily allowances won’t give you more energy.
    True. It’s widely believed that extra vitamins provide more energy. But taking more than the baby needs doesn’t make it function better, just as overfilling your gas tank doesn’t make your car run better.
    5. Natural vitamins are better supplements(补充)for the diet than synthetic vitamins.
    False. There is no difference. A vitamin has the same properties(性质)and specific chemical structure whether made in a laboratory or taken from plant or animal parts.
    6. Older people need the same amount of vitamins as younger people.
    True. Older people need the same quantity of vitamins as younger people although they need fewer calories. Certain illnesses raise the requirements for some vitamins, but that is true for the young as well as the old.
    7. Food grown in poor soil is lower in vitamins than food grown in rich sold.
    False. The vitamins in our foods are made by the plants themselves. They don’t come from the soil.
    However, the minerals in a plant depend on the minerals in the soil.
    If you have answered these questions correctly, you can say you know much about food and nutrition by today’s standards. But remember that nutrition is a growing science and that may be aged as new information is obtained.
    小题1:The main purpose of the passage is to           .
    A．list today’s standards of some food and nutrition
    B．introduce what should be eaten and what not
    C．explain what is helpful to your health and what is not
    D．test our nutrition IQ by judging the problems listed
    小题2:From the surrounding words and sentences we know that the underlined phrase “contribute to” means         .
    A．help to bring aboutB．take the place of
    C．make room forD．turn to
    小题3:The underlined word “synthetic” most probably means       in Chinese.
    A．不同的B．特别的

    How fit are your teeth? Are you lazy about brushing them? Never fear: An inventor is on the case. An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush, and it lets you track your performance on your phone.
    The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection.
    The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right (don’t forget the insides of the teeth!) and make sure you’re brushing long enough. “It’s kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,” says Thomas Serval, the French inventor.
    The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone, so developers could, for instance, create a game controlled by your toothbrush. You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth. “We try to make it smart but also fun,” Several says.
    Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father. He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth. They said “yes,” but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry. He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed.
    The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer, for $99 to $199, developing on features. The U.S. is the first target market.
    Serval says that one day, it’ll be possible to replace the brush on the handle with a brushing unit that also has a camera. The camera can even examine holes in your teeth while you brush.
    小题1:Which is one of the feature of the Kolibree toothbrush?
    A．It can sense how users brush their teeth.
    B．It can track users’ school performance.
    C．It can detect users’ fear of seeing a dentist.
    D．It can help users find their phones.
    小题2:What can we learn from Serval’s words in Paragraph 3?
    A．You will find it enjoyable to see a dentist.
    B．You should see your dentist on a day-to –day basis.
    C．You can brush with the Kolibree as if guided by a dentist.
    D．You’d like a dentist to watch you brush your teeth every day.
    小题3:Which of the following might make the Kolibree toothbrush fun?
    A．It can be used to update mobile phones.
    B．It can be used to play mobile phone games
    C．It can send messages to other users
    D．It can talk to its developers.
    小题4:What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
    A．How Serval found out his kids lied to him.
    B．Why Serval thought brushing teeth was necessary.
    C．How Serval taught his kids to brush their teeth.
    D．What inspired Serval to invent the toothbrush
    小题5:What can we infer about Serval’s children?
    A．They were unwilling to brush their teeth
    B．They often failed to clean their toothbrushes.
    C．They preferred to use a toothbrush with a dry head.
    D．They liked brushing their teeth after Serval came home.
    小题6:What can we learn about the future development of the Kolibree?
    A．The brush handle will be removed.
    B．A mobile phone will be built into it.
    C．It will be used to fill holes in teeth
    D．It will be able to check users’ teeth
