    (2013·湛江一中期末测试)If cars had wings，they could fly and that just might happen，beginning in 2012.The company Terrafugia，based in Woburn，Massachusetts，says it plans to deliver its car­plane，the Transition，to customers by the end of 2012.
    “It's the next ‘wow’ vehicle，” said Terrafugia，vice president Richard Gersh.“Anybody can buy a Ferrari，but as we say，Ferraris don't fly.”
    The car­plane has wings that unfold for flying—a process the company says takes one minute—and fold back up for driving.A runway is still required to take off and land.
    The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies，although it is both.The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations，and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.
    The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly.They say it saves you the trouble of trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports：you drive the car to the airport and then you're good to go.When you land，you fold up the wings and hit the road.There are no expensive parking fees because you don't have to store it at an airport—you park it in the garage at home.
    The car­plane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet.It has a maximum take­off weight of 1,430 pounds，including fuel and passengers.Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under bad weather instead of flying into marginal(边缘的) conditions.
    The Transition's price tag：$194,000.But there may be additional charges for options like a radio，transponder or GPS.Another option is a full­plane parachute.
    “If you get into a very awful situation，it is the necessary safety option，”Gersh said.
    So far，the company has more than 70 orders with deposits.“We're working very closely with them，but there are still some remaining steps，” Brown said.
    小题1:We can learn from the first paragraph that ________.
    A．car­planes will be popular in 2012
    B．people might drive a car­plane in 2012
    C．both the Transition and the Ferrari can take off and land
    D．Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts
    小题2:It takes the car­plane one minute to ________.
    A．fold and unfold its wings
    B．unfold wings for flying
    C．land in the airport
    D．meet flying safety regulations
    小题3:According to the passage，which of the following is NOT true?
    A．The car­plane needs a runway to take off and land.
    B．To meet aircraft regulations，the company has been working with FAA.
    C．The car­plane may fly as high as normal planes.
    D．People can park the car­plane in the garage at their home.
    小题4:The underlined word “it” in the last but one paragraph refers to ________.
    A．the radio
    B．the transponder
    C．the GPS
    D．the full­plane parachute

    LONDON, Feb. 18，2014 （Xinhua News agency） —Britain will send experts to East China's Shanghai to learn from the city's experience in maths teaching in an attempt to raise the teaching standards.
    British Education Minister Elizabeth Truss is to lead a delegation of experts on a fact-finding mission to Shanghai's schools next week to see how children there have become the best in the world at maths, to get a first-hand look at maths classes and teaching methods there, and particularly to investigate why the performance of almost all children in Shanghai is high, regardless of gender or income.
    Britain was last year placed 50th out of 148 countries and regions in the World Economic Forum's competitiveness ranking in quality of maths and science education. Two years ago, Shanghai topped the 2012 international PISA tables for maths, while England was ranked in 26th place. The top five were all in Southeast Asia, with 15-year-olds in Shanghai judged to be three years ahead of their peers in maths.
    The education department said: "England's performance in maths has lagged behind while other countries have improved and overtaken us, including Poland and Germany." Actually, it is the latest step in the government's drive to raise standards in maths, looking at what has made schools in the far East the most successful in the world in teaching the subject.
    "Shanghai is the top-performing part of the world for maths—their children are streets ahead. Shanghai and Singapore have teaching practices and a positive mind that make the difference. They have a belief that diligence makes up for lack of ability," Truss said. "Our new curriculum has borrowed from theirs because we know it works—early learning of key arithmetic, and a focus on times tables and long division（长除法）, for instance."
    She was determined to change the situation as performance in maths is weakening the country's skills base and threatening the productivity and growth. The government is emphasizing maths because of the importance of good grades in the subject to young people competing for good jobs in a global labor market and to the economy more generally.
    An education and skills survey released by the Confederation of British Industry last year showed that 30 percent of employers reported dissatisfaction with the standard of school and college leavers' numeracy. More than two-thirds of employers said they wanted both maths and science promoted more in schools.
    小题1:Why does the British government send a delegation of experts to Shanghai?
    A．To see how children from rich families have become the best at maths.
    B．To investigate why the performance of almost all children in China is high.
    C．To get a first-hand look at science classes and teaching methods there.
    D．To raise the teaching standards in maths in Britain.
    小题2:Which of the following statements is true according to the two international competition results?
    A．British students performed better in 2013 than in 2012.
    B．British students did better than the students from Poland in 2013.
    C．The students from Singapore did better than the students from Germany.
    D．The students from Germany did better than the students from Poland.
    小题3:What has made schools in Shanghai the most successful in teaching maths in the eye of Truss?
    A．Curriculum and teaching methods.
    B．Teaching practices and a positive mind.
    C．Early learning of key arithmetic and times tables.
    D．A focus on times tables and long division.
    小题4:How will students’ poor performance in maths affect the country eventually?
    A．By threatening the country's competitiveness of economy.
    B．By weakening the country's political system.
    C．By losing international competitions in education.
    D．By failing to find jobs in a global labor market.
    小题5:What can we infer from the news?
    A．The students in Britain don’t work hard at Maths.
    B．The students in shanghai are the smartest in the world.
    C．The education of science in Britain is no better than that of maths.
    D．Most British citizens are dissatisfied with teachers’ work.

    LONDON (Reuters)    Ecotourism is causing a lot of damage to wildlife and may be endangering the survival of the very animals people are flocking to see, according to re­searchers.
    Biologists and conservationists are worried because polar bears, dolphins, penguins and other creatures are getting stressed and losing weight and some are dying.
    "Evidence is growing that many animals do not react well to tourists in their backyard，” New Scientist magazine said.
    The immediate effects "researchers have noticed are changes in behavior, heart rates. or stress hormone levels but they fear it could get much worse and over the long term “ could endanger the survival of the very wildlife they want to see. ”
    Although money produced through ecotourism, which has been growing at about 10-30 percent a year, has major benefits for poor countries and people living in rural areas, the Swiss-based World Conservation Union (IUCN) and some governments fear not all projects are audited（审计） and based on environmentally friendly policies，according to the magazine.
    Transmission of disease to wildlife，or small changes to wildlife health through dis­turbance of daily life or increased stress levels, while not obvious to the casual observer, may translate to lower survival and breeding，” said Philip Seddon , of the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand.
    Scientists have noticed that bottleneck dolphins along the northeastern coast of New Zealand become nervously excited when tourist boats arrive. Similar changes in behavior have been observed in polar bears and yellow-eyed penguins in areas visited by colorists are producing smaller babies.
    Conservationists are now calling for more research into the effect of ecotourism on ani­mals and say the industry must be developed carefully. They also want studies done before new ecotourism projects are started.
    “The animals’ welfare should be very important because without them there will be no ecotourism，” said Rochelle Constantine of the University of Auckland in New Zealand
    小题1:Which is not discovered to have changed in animals disturbed by tourists?
    A．behaviorB．birth rateC．hormone levelsD．heart rates

    The world’s biggest Internet search engine, Google, has proven once again to be King of the Web. Users can download “Google Wi-Fi” software and then enjoy free Wi-Fi service available in some US cities since last Tuesday.
    Wi-Fi is short for “Wireless Fidelity”(无线上网). It allows laptop computers and personal digital assistants to the Internet at high speed by radio signal.
    A person with a Wi-Fi enabled computer can connect to the Internet when near one of the network’s access points. The place covered by one or several access points is called a hotspot. Google has already set up two “hotspots” in the US city of San Francisco which provide a free Wi-Fi service.
    The Wi-Fi technology even allows users to enjoy a free Internet phone service. Some scientists argue that Wi-Fi may replace mobile phone networks.
    Wi-Fi is still limited to a few cities, where there are “hotspots”. But its capability(容量)of sending information has already done better than that of the mobile phone network, even that of 3G(Third Generation Telecommunication Technology). Some scientists have started to call Wi-Fi 4G.
    In addition to a high speed Internet connection, Wi-Fi has other advantages compared to mobile phones. Wi-Fi is global. The same Wi-Fi system works in different countries around the world. Different from using cell phones, you don’t need to change computers to use Internet phones when you go to other places and most importantly, many Internet phones cost you nothing at all.
    小题1:Wi-Fi is not available in cities without _______.
    A．a computerB．a radioC．a cell phone D．a hotspot
    小题2:Which of the following is NOT true of Wi-Fi?
    A．The high speed Internet connection.
    B．Many free Internet phones.
    C．Being used in all the US cities.
    D．Using the same computers for Internet phones when you go to other places.
    小题3:Some scientists started to call Wi-Fi 4G, because _______.
    A．it is the product of the Google’s 4th generation
    B．it has been used by more than four generations
    C．Wi-Fi will surely take the place of the mobile phone network
    D．it is more capable of sending information than the mobile phone network
    小题4:Which of the following is the best title?
    A．Google Launches Free Wi-Fi Service
    B．Free Call Service

    HOUSTON (AP) --- A 10-year-old boy fatally shot his father Friday, striking him several times as he sat in the front seat of a SUV to pick up the boy from his mother's home for a weekend visit.
    The incident happened about 3pm on a cul-desac（死胡同）in the 1700 block of Cedar Cove Court, said Sgt. Williams of the Harris County Sheriff's Department.
