阅读理解。     How many kinds of shapes (形状) can you name? If something is round, what do you call it? You call it
a circle. What can you see around you that looks like a circle?
    Another shape is square. A square has four sides. Each side is the same length (长度). A square has four
corners called right angles (直角).
     A triangle is also a shape. The prefix "tri" on the base word "angle" means "three". A triangle always has
three sides and three angles.
     All the pages of your textbooks have four square corners, but the pages are not square. Can you tell why
not? It is because the sides of each page are longer than the ends. Shapes like this are rectangles. You can say
that they are rectangular shapes.

阅读理解。     A few minutes ago, walking back from lunch, I started to cross the street when I heard the sound of a
coin dropping. It wasn"t much but, as I turned, my eyes caught the heads of several other people turning too.
A woman had dropped what seemed to be a dime (十美分硬币).
     The sound of a coin dropping on the street catches everybody"s attention. Whatever the coin is, no one
ignores (忽视) the sound of it. It got me thinking about sounds again.
     There are so many sounds that catch the most attention. People in New York City seldom turn to look
when they hear the siren (警报) of a police car or an ambulance (救护车).
     When I"m in New York, I"m a New Yorker. I don"t turn either. I hardly hear a siren there.
     At home in my little town in Connecticut, it"s different. The faraway high sound of a police car, an
ambulance or a fire siren brings me to my feet if I"m sitting and brings me to the window if I"m in bed.
     It"s the quietest sounds that catch our attention most easily, not the loudest. In the middle of the night, I
can hear water dropping a hundred yards away through three closed doors. I"ve been hearing little creaking
(吱嘎) noises and sounds in the middle of the night for twenty-five years in our house. Why do I never hear
those sounds in the daytime? 1. The sound of a coin dropping made people ______. A. think of money
B. shout aloud
C. pay attention to it
D. look at each other 2. People in New York ______. A. are used to sirens
B. don"t hear loud noises
C. are interested in sounds
D. don"t care about quiet sounds 3. The writer ______. A. has a bad hearing
B. stays up late at night
C. comes from a little town
D. sleeps next to the window 4. The last paragraph (段落) tells us that ______. A. the writer thinks a lot at night
B. water should be turned off at night
C. the sounds at night make the writer afraid
D. the quietest sounds at night are easily heard

阅读理解。     If you knew a bottle of water had been recycled from urine (尿), would you drink it? Astronauts at the
International Space Station (ISS) may soon do so.
     NASA (美国航空航天局) said it would use a high-tech machine (高科技机器) to recycle wastewater
at the ISS. The machine will recycle everything from sweat (汗), the water for washing hands, shower water,
water used for brushing teeth, and even urine, to make drinking water.
     It will save NASA millions of dollars each year. At present, each ISS astronaut uses about 4.4 liters (升)
of water every day. It costs about $24 million a year to transport water up to ISS. NASA says that a liter of
water costs about $11,000.
     The machine will be sent to the ISS in October 2008. NASA hopes it will recycle about 93% of all water
used on the station.
     Will the water be clean? Scientists say the wastewater will go through a very complicated process (复杂
的过程). For example, different chemicals will be put in the wastewater; the water will be heated to 130℃ to
get rid of bacteria (细菌). The recycled water is thousands of times better than the water from a city tap,
scientists say. 1. NASA will use a high-tech machine to recycle wastewater at the ISS to _________. A. protect the ISS
B. make astronauts at ISS work harder
C. provide better water and food for ISS astronauts
D. save the cost of transporting water up to the ISS 2. At present it costs NASA about _________ dollars to transport water up to an astronaut at the ISS a day. A. 4.4 thousand
B. 11 thousand
C. 48.4 thousand
D. 24 million 3. Scientists plan to get rid of bacteria in the wastewater by __________. A. freezing
B. heating
C. shaking
D. precipitating (沉淀) 4. The reading mainly tells us something about _________. A. water recycling
B. the International Space Station
C. a high-tech machine
D. the cost of NASA 5. Which of the following sentences is true, according to the passage? A. The recycled water is much better than that from a city tap.
B. The high-tech machine will recycle all the water used on the station.
C. At present, each ISS astronaut uses more water than the people living on the earth.
D. The high-tech machine can only recycle urine to make water at present.

阅读短文，根据要求完成下面各小题。      3. For those of us who are studying at school, the time of exams is very stressful and difficult. Some
people find exam times so bad that they become ill, because they are afraid of failing; they are afraid of
letting their parents and family down. If exams are really making you ill or worried, don"t hide your feelings.
Talk to someone about it. Maybe you can speak to a friend, or someone in your family, or teachers at your
place of study. If one person doesn"t help you, ask someone else.
     How to get through exams? Here are some advice:
     Ask a teacher or tutor about how to review your lessons, and exam skills-how to work when you are in
an exam.
     Take short rests during your time of work. If your mind is tired, it will not remember well.
     Plan your work: study at times when you know you will work at your best.
     Get enough sleep, and eat healthy food.
     You need exercise to work well. Walk, run, play sport-whatever you enjoy.
    Stop thinking about the future and failing.
     If you feel ill, talk to someone about your worries. But don"t be too relaxed! 4. Some stress over exams
makes you work hard for them.
    If it upsets you to talk to your friends about an exam when it is finished, don"t do it! In fact, don"t even
think about the exam you have finished. What is done is done. You cannot change what you have written!
    To this advice, we could add:
     If you are studying in the evening, don"t go straight to bed. Your mind will still be "going round and round"
-thinking too much. Do something else, maybe walk or get exercise. Choose something that will relax you,
and make you think of other things. （一）根据短文内容简要回答问题。
1. Why do some students hate exams?
    ______________________________________________________________________
2. What should you do if the exam upsets you when it is finished?
    ______________________________________________________________________
（二）将短文中划线的句子译成汉语。
3. ______________________________________________________________________
4. ______________________________________________________________________
（三）请给短文拟一个适当的标题。
5. ______________________________________________________________________

阅读理解。     French doctors and American scientists have reported doing an operation in which the doctor was outside
the operating room. This kind of operation is known as robotic operation.
     Doctor Marescaux did the operation in an office in New York City last month, while a sixty-eight-year-old
woman patient was in a hospital in Strasbourg, France.
     A doctor in Strasbourg got the patient ready. He placed medical tools and a small video camera in her
stomach area. Doctor Marescaux in New York watched the patient on a video screen. Then he used the
computer to send messages to the robot machine. The robot moved the tools that cut the woman"s gallbladder
(胆囊) away. The woman got well soon after the operation and left the hospital two days later.
     Experts say the main problem with such a robotic operation is based on high-speed telecommunications
between the doctor and the robot. Technology must be able to send a doctor"s order to a robot to move the
tools quickly.
     Experts also say a successful robotic operation will improve an operation. For example, the robot can make
much smaller movements than a person can. A robot machine can turn tools in ways that a doctor"s hand
cannot.
     Doctors say such a robotic operation will make possible safer and better operations in the future. They say
it will improve doctor training. It will also mean that doctors could do an operation on people in dangerous
places far away. And it could mean that people could have operations done by top doctors without having to
travel to the city where doctors work. 1. "Robotic operation" means "______".A. a special kind of robot invented by doctors
B. an operation done far away
C. an operation done with the help of a robot
D. something done to mend a robot 2. We use the robot in the operation because ______. A. it can send messages at a high speed
B. even a top doctor can"t do the operation himself
C. it can make the operation safer and better
D. operations can be done without any doctors 3. If we want to use the robot in the operation, we must solve the problem of ______. A. top doctors
B. smaller movements
C. doctor training
D. high-speed telecommunications 4. If the smaller movement can"t be done by doctors in the operation, we may use ______ to solve it. A. more tools
B. a robot machine
C. a video camera
D. telecommunications 5. Which of the following is NOT true? A. Robotic operation is good for doctor training.
B. Robotic operation has been used in the USA.
C. Experts speak highly of robotic operation.
D. The robot is used to watch the patient clearly.
