But if they use the computer to
2、o much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes(笔画)of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school.And computer depende
3、nce is more widespread among university students. Almost all their assignments and essays are typed on a computer. All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer. Its faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And thats why computers are being applied more and more often to mode
4、rn education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear. “When Im writing with a pen, I find I often cant remember how to write a character, though I feel Im familiar with it.”“Im not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”Many students dont feel this
5、 is something to worry about. Now that its more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite? Many educators think differaently. Shi Liwei, the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic(审美的)value. But
6、those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writers emotion. Through ones handwriting, people can get to know ones thinking and personality.Beautiful writing will give people a bet
7、ter first impression of them.”To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory(必修的) and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.1The students interviewed prefer to write usi
8、ng a computer mainly because_.Athey are usually asked to email their homework and essaysBthey can correct the mistakes they make quickly and convenientlyCthey find it not easy to remember how to write a characterDcomputers have become a trend and fashion in China2Which of the following statements is
9、 NOT TRUE of the advantages of handwriting?AHandwriting contains the writers emotion.BThe writers thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting.CHandwriting can impress people well and build ones selfconfidence.DChinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value. 3The underli
10、ned expression “taking stock in”(Paragraph 4) probably means_.Agetting bored with Bgetting dependent onCbecoming crazy about Dgetting curious about4We can draw the conclusion from the passage that_.Amore and more students will give up writing on a computerBwriting by hand will give way to typing by
11、computer one dayCmore and more students will pay attention to handwriting Dthe typing article better expresses ones emotion and qualityBWhile astronauts in space get to do many exciting things, they miss out on ordinary things that we all take for grantedbeing able to walk on firm ground, hanging ou
12、t with family and digging into a slice of hot steaming pizza. Though not much can be done about the first two things, there may soon be a solution to the third one, thanks to this cool 3-D pizza printer!About a year ago, NASA offered $125,000 to Anjan Contractor, a 3-D technology expert, to build a
13、device that would allow astronauts to make pizza on demand. The mechanical engineer promised that his invention would produce pies in large quantities that looked, tasted and even smelled like pizza made in common ovens.Late last year, the engineer presented a video of his first prototype（原型）that be
14、gins by creating a single slice of dough（面团）that is cooked and printed at the same time. Then comes the tomato “sauce”a mix of tomato powder, oil and water and finally, a protein slice that looks like cheese. While the video doesnt show the baking process, the inventor says that once the pizza is pr
15、inted, it can be ready to be consumed in 7 seconds.While the pie in the video looks delicious enough to attract any pizza lover, Anjan Contractor is far from ready for astronauts. Thats because he still has to find a solution to make the food container in the printer last for 30 years. Though that m
16、ay sound unrealistic, actually it is not. Anjan Contractor believes that the only way that is possible is that the water is removed from all the ingredients and then they are reduced to the powder form. This, as you can imagine, will not be so easy. But, while the printer may not be ready for space,
17、 it certainly looks ready enough for people on earth. Hopefully, NASA and Contractor will consider selling it to those not fortunate enough to go to Mars!5. Why does the author mention the things that astronauts in space cannot do?A. To ask us not to take common things for granted.B. To show they li
18、ve a difficult life there.C. To show their life is boring in space.D. To introduce the topic of the text.6. NASA offered $125,000 to Anjan Contractor mainly to _.A. create some new type of 3-D printerB. attract more companies to work for NASAC. help astronauts in space enjoy fresh pizza one dayD. pr
19、oduce pizza in large quantities to earn great profits7. The biggest challenge that Anjan Contractor is faced with now is probably that _.A. he has no money left to go on with his researchB. the pizza doesnt seem appetizing to pizza loversC. he has no way to make pizza that can last for thirty yearsD
20、. he cannot make the food container last for decades8. Whats the best title of the passage?A. NASA is trying its best to help astronauts eat betterB. Astronauts may soon be able to enjoy steaming hot pizzaC. NASA is working on making pizza for common peopleD. A 3-D pizza printer has been used to mak
21、e pizzaCFor thousands of years, people thought of glass as something beautiful to look at. Only recently have they come to think of it as something to look through. Stores display their goods in large glass windows. Glass bottles and jars that hold food and drink allow us to see the contents. Glass
22、is used to make eyeglasses, microscopes, telescopes, and many other extremely useful and necessary objects. Until the Second World War, most of the glass used for optical（光学的）instruments was imported from Europe. However, during the war Americans could not get European glass, and they were forced to
23、 make their own. Therefore, new kinds of glasses were developed that had been previously unknown. These new effects were achieved by mixing other chemical elements with the sand. Some of these new glasses are very strong and can resist many kinds of shocks. Legend has it that a very hard glass was i
24、nvented by a Roman who showed his discovery to the Emperor. When the Emperor saw the glass he feared that it would become more valuable than gold and sliver, making his treasure worthless. Therefore, he had the glassmaker killed, and the secret was not discovered again for hundreds of years. In the
25、present century, safety glass was invented for use in modern cars and planes. Safety glass is made by placing a layer of plastic between two layers of plate glass. When the outside layer of glass is broken, the pieces do not scatter（散开）and injure people. Some glass of the type is strong enough to re
26、sist bullets（子弹）. Although nowadays plastics have replaced glass under conditions where glass might be easily broken, there are new uses being developed, for the greatest advantage of glass is that its component（组成的）parts are inexpensive and can be found all over the world.9. As time goes by, glass
27、_. A. is regarded as transparentB. is used to make things look pleasantC. is seen as more than decorationD. is widely used to replace steel in making containers10. Why did Americans make their own glass during the Second World War?A. The war blocked the way of glass import. B. The glass made in Euro
28、pe was out of date.C. They refused to use the European glass.D. They were able to make a new kind of glass.11. Why does the author tell us the legend?A. To prove the Roman was the first inventor of hard glass.B. To support the Americans were as clever as the Romans.C. To give some information about
29、hard glass.D. To provide a historical event concerned with hard glass.12. Why are new uses of glass being developed?A. Because glass is not as safe as plastics. B. Because glass is cheap and easily obtainable. C. Because glass is not as strong and durable as plastics.D. Because glass is more and mor
30、e widely used.DIn ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics(策略). One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits an
31、d vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food(垃圾食品)later in their trip. In department stores,the womens shoe section is generally next to the womens cosmetics(化妆品)section: while the shop assistant is go
32、ing back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later. Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and
33、 then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up. When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make deci
34、sions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leadi
35、ng to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.13.Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?A.To save customers time.B.To show they are high quality foods.C.To help sell junk food.D.To sell them at discount prices.1
36、4.According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?A.Opening the store early in the morning.B.Displaying British wines next to French ones.C.Inviting customers to play music.D.Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.15.What is the California builders story intende
37、d to prove?A.The house structure is a key factor customers consider.B.The more costly the house is, the better it sells.C.An ocean view is much to the customers taste.D.A good first impression increases sales.16.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To explain how businesses turn people into the
