阅读理解。     Li Daiyu and her cousin Liu Qian were on a trip to Canada to visit their cousins on the Atlantic coast.
Rather than take the aeroplane all the way, they decided to fly from China to Vancouver and to take the
train from west to east across Canada in September.The idea that they would cross the whole continent
was exciting.
     Their friend, Danny Lin,was waiting for them at the airport. He was going to take them to catch "The
True North", the cross-Canada train.On the way to the station, he told them, "You"re going to see great
scenery on your trip. Canada is bigger than the United States. It is second biggest country in the world
and as you go eastward, you will see mountains and pass thousands of lakes,forests and wide rivers as
well as cities.The idea that you can cross Canada in less than five days is just wrong. It is 5,500
kilometres from coast to coast.Here in Vancouver,you are in the warmest part of Canada.Many people
think it is the most beautiful city in Canada,as it is surrounded by mountains on the north and east and the
Pacific Ocean on the west.Its population is increasing very rapidly, because the mountain-and-sea city is
a very popular place to live in.Even people from Japan come to settle down here.
     That afternoon on the train the cousins settled down in their seats. They crossed the Rocky Mountains
earlier that day and looked out of the windows at the wild scencry.They saw mountain goats and even a
grizzly bear.Their next stop would be Calgary.The Calgary Stampede is a famous Western festival,
Cowboys come from all over North America to compete in riding wild horses.Many of them have a gift
for working with animals and they can win thousands of dollars in prizes.
     That night,they slept as the train rushed through the night across the top of Lake Superior.through the
great forests and southward towards Toronto.1. How did Li Daiyu and Liu Qian arrive in Canada?A. They sailed across the Pacific Ocean.
B. They flew to Vancouver.
C. They took a train to Vancouver.
D. They flew to the Atlantic coast.2. Witch order is right of their train trip?A. Vancouver  Calgary   Lake Superior  Toronto

     This happened in a third-grade classroom. Jim sat  1  his desk and all of a sudden, there was a
puddle(一滩水) between his feet and the front of his trousers was wet. He felt his heart was going to
stop. He knew   2   would happen when his classmates found out. He looked up and there came the
teacher with   3   look in her eyes that said he   4 (discover).
     As the teacher was walking towards   5  , a classmate named Susie was carrying a goldfish bowl full
of water to her desk. Suddenly, Susie tripped (绊倒) and,   6  (strange), dumped the whole bowl of
water in Jim"s lap. He pretended to be angry, but all the while he was saying deep in his heart, "Thank
you!"
     Jim became the object of sympathy instead of ridicule (嘲笑). The teacher brought him gym shorts to
put on. All the others crawled(爬) on their hands and knees,   7  (clean) up around his desk. But 8
life would have it, the ridicule that should have been his had been transferred (转移) to Susie. She tried
to help,   9  they told her to leave the room   10 school was over, Jim walked over to Susie and
whispered, "You did that on purpose, didn"t you?"
     Susie whispered back, "I wet my trousers once, too!"

     Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems. While scientists are finding ways to
make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and
heavier than the devices themselves. University of Missouri(MU) researchers are developing a nuclear
energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.
     "To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density",said Jae Kwon,
assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU. "The radioisotope (放射性同位素)
battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries."
     Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, presently the size
and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro / nanoelectromechanical systems (M/NEMS). Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said they are safe.
     "People hear the word "nuclear" and think of something very dangerous," he said, "However, nuclear
power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space
satellites and underwater systems."
     His new idea is not only in the battery"s size, but also in its semiconductor(半导体). Kwon"s battery
uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.
     "The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation
energy can damage the lattice structure of the solid semiconductor," Kwon said, "By using a liquid
semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem."
     Together with J. David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research
Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery. In the future, they hope to increase the battery"s
power, shrink its size and try with various other materials. Kwon said that battery could be thinner than
the thickness of human hair.

1. Which of the following is true of Jae Kwon?

A. He teaches chemistry at MU.
B. He developed a chemical battery.
C. He is working on a nuclear energy source.
D. He made a breakthrough in computer engineering.

2. Jae Kwon gave examples in Paragraph 4_________.

A. to show chemical batteries are widely applied.
B. to introduce nuclear batteries can be safely used.
C. to describe a nuclear-powered system.
D. to introduce various energy sources.

3. Liquid semiconductor is used to _________.

A. get rid of the radioactive waste
B. test the power of nuclear batteries.
C. decrease the size of nuclear batteries
D. reduce the damage to lattice structure.

4. According to Jae Kwon, his nuclear battery _______.

A. uses a solid semiconductor
B. will soon replace the present ones.
C. could be extremely thin
D. has passed the final test.

5. The text is most probably a ________.

A. science news report
B. book review
C. newspaper ad
D. science fiction story
