Laptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.
Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to “speak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees—anywhere at all!
Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.
At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, “Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we’re giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything.”
1. The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to ____.
A. use for their schoolwork B. access the Internet
C. work at home D. connect them to libraries
2. Why is the word “speak” in the second paragraph in quotation marks(引号)? ____.
A. They don’t really talk B. They use the computer language
C. Laptops have speakers D. None of the above reasons is correct
3. Which of the following is true about Westlake College? ____.
A. All teachers use computers B. 1500 students have laptops

John had an accident while driving to town one day. He had his three ribs (肋骨) broken and Tally, his best friend, had one leg broken. With their car damaged and no one coming to their help, they had to foot for ten miles to the town hospital.
“How have you got here all by yourself?” said the doctor when he saw John in hospital. “You have to stay in hospital at once,” he said, “but the dog can’t. It must leave the hospital. Dogs are not allowed here.”
“Please help my dog, doctor, she was hurt and she also needs a doctor!” John said eagerly, “Or I’ll leave with my dog.” He added. He took up his coat and was ready to leave.
“You must be mad!” the doctor shouted. “You are too ill to go out!” “Then you must take my dog.” John said, touching the dog’s nose, and went on. “This old dog has followed me through good times and bad times. Mostly bad times—watched me over for weeks when I was seriously ill, and once saved me from a burning house and another time she saved me from flood…How can I leave her alone?”
John said and fainted (晕倒). When he came to, he looked around, “Where’s my dog?” he asked eagerly. “Don’t worry,” the nurse answered. “It’s in the yard. We have done something to help it.”

Canada is a very large country. It is the second largest country in the world. By contrast it has a very small population. There are only about 30 million people there. Most Canadians are of British or French origin, and French is an official language of Canada as well as English. About 45% of the people are of British origin, that is, they or their parents or grandparents, etc., come from British. Nearly 30% are of French origin. Most of the French-Canadians live in province of Quebec.
Over the years, people have come to live in Canada from many countries in the world.They are from many countries in the world. They are from most European countries and also from China, besides other Asian countries.
However, Canada was not an empty country when the Europeans began to arrive. Canadian Indians lived along the coast, by the rivers and lakes and in forests. Today, there are only about 350,000 Indians in the whole country, with their own languages. In the far north live the Inuit. There are only 27,000 Canadian-Inuit. Their life is hard in such a difficult climate.
1. About ____ live in Quebec.
A. 30% of the French-Canadians B. 45% of the Canadians

The food we eat seems to have a great effect on our health. Although science has made big steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of human illness is related to food and forty percent of cancer is related to food as well. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, some researchers realized that things commonly used to keep colour in meats and other food additives(添加剂) caused cancer.
Yet, these additives remain in our food, and it is difficult to know which things on the wrappings(包装) of foods are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin(青霉素) to their animals, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of cows. Sometimes similar things are supplied to animals not for their health, but just to make a profit(利润).
The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to get a higher price on the market. Although some countries have tried to control such things, the practice continues.
1. According to this passage, we can know ____.
A. perhaps most of human illness is caused by what we eat
B. perhaps most kinds of cancer are related to what people eat
C. cancer was discovered in 1945
D. science has made food unfit to eat
2. Things that are used to keep colours in meats are ___.
A. harmful B. useless C. helpless D. dangerous
3. All the additives ___.
A. are bright and colourless B. are not bright and colourful
C. have indirect effects on our health D. have direct effects on our health
4. People use additives ____.
A. to make food more unfit to eat
B. to improve the colour and taste of the food
C. to change colour of the food
D. to take off the diseases of the food

Winter is here and it’s time to turn on the heating, just like when it’s hot in summer, you turn on the air conditioner. This is how people think about temperature control at home.
In fact, the way you heat or cool your home has a big effect on the earth, says John Carmody, a researcher at an American university. He says that buildings consume(消耗) more energy than transportation and industry. Almost half of the energy that buildings use goes into heating and cooling.
Like Carmody, a growing number of engineers, planners, and architects have been looking for new ways to make buildings less wasteful and kinder to the environment. The size, place and position of a building also affects how much energy it uses.
“In the last 10 years,” Carmody says, “there has been a major movement towards what you’d call ‘green’ buildings.” Such buildings are sometimes also described as “environmentally friendly” or “healthy”.
* Temperature control
The amount of energy you need to use for heating and cooling depends on where you live.
In places such as Kunming, Yunnan Province for instance, the temperature is mild all the year round. People don’t often have to regulate(调节) the temperature of their homes. In Beijing, on the other hand, winters are very cold and summers can be very hot. Without heaters and air conditioners, people would be in big trouble.
Most air conditioners run on electricity. Some heaters do, too. In northern China, people also use systems that burn natural gas or coal to heat water as heaters. These energy sources have their downsides. Electricity, for example, usually comes from power plants that burn coal or use nuclear fuel. Both produce dangerous waste.
There are ways to avoid pollution. Recently scientists have been looking more closely at how the wind or sun can provide energy.
* Windows
Design and construction choices can have a big effect on how much energy you use. Windows are a big issue. Take a closer look at the windows where you live. If you feel cold air rushing in when the window is closed, then you are wasting energy.
Windows used to be made from one sheet of glass. Today, windows almost always have two pieces of glass. They are set in a frame(框架) with air between them for insulation(绝缘).
Chemists in England recently developed a kind of “smart” windows coating. This invisible material reflects heat but only when the window gets warmer than room temperature. It could make windows even better at keeping air in and out.
1. Why are an increasing number of people trying to make buildings “healthy”? ____.
A. Because we are facing shortages of energy sources
B. Because only temperature control at home is far from enough
C. Because this means we can save energy and protect the environment
D. Because transportation and industry need far more energy than buildings
2. What does the underlined word “downsides” means? ____.
A. Disadvantages B. Dangers C. Bottom sides D. Solutions
3. How does the “smart” window coating help save energy? ____.
A. By keeping the room temperature constant
B. By fastening the window frames
C. By sending out heat when necessary
D. By better control of air flow
