　The computer is fast, and never makes a mistake, while people are too slow, and full of mistakes sometimes. That's what people often say when they talk about computers. For over a quarter of a century, engineers have been making better computers. Now a computer can do a lot of everyday jobs wonderfully. It is widely used in factories, hospitals and banks. A computer can report, decide and control (控制) in almost every field. Many computer scientists are now thinking of making the computer “think” like a man. With the help of a person, a computer can draw pictures, write music, talk with people, play chess, recognize (認(rèn)出) voices, translate languages and so on (等等).

閱讀下面短文，從每題所給四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出最佳答案。

Twenty Thousand Miles under the Sea is a fascinating tale of adventure with Captain Nemo(“No Name”) in his submarine(海下的) ship, the Nautilus. Jules Verne had been around ships and boats most of his life. But his first trip to America in 1867 was his first ocean voyage. The ship which carried Jules Verne from his native France was the Great Eastern, which was used to lay the first successful Atlantic cable(電纜) linking England and America the year before. Verne made the most of his opportunity. With his notebook, he followed the crew members around. What kind of submarine life had they caught? What kind of fish had they seen? What seaweeds? What shells? What did they know about the ocean's currents(洋流)? Its channels? Its depths and shallows? Six weeks later Verne was home again with his notebook filled on his voyage. He went aboard his little boats where he always wrote. On the desk were piles of papers on which he had attempted to design submarines. Surely, he thought, his next book was meant to be about life at the bottom of the sea, life in a submarine. Not a tiny, clumsy craft like all of them so far. Not a miserable model likely to bring death to men in it. It would be a giant undersea boat. It would have comfort yet undreamed of. Twenty Thousand Miles under the Sea appeared three years later. It delighted everyone. “A splendid story,” most readers said, “Utterly impossible, but exciting!”

1．According to this passage, the Nautilus was the ________.

[　　]

A．first practical submarine

B．invention of Captain Nemo

C．product of Verne's imagination

D．imagination of Captain Nemo

2．Verne's questions were mainly about the crew's ________.

[　　]

A．problems in laying the cable

B．discoveries about the sea

C．struggle with a sea monster(怪物)

D．descriptions about the submarine

3．What should the imaginative submarine be according to Verne?

[　　]

A．A comfortable big undersea ship yet undreamed of.

B．A tiny, clumsy craft like all of them so far.

C．A miserable model likely to bring death to men in it.

D．A comfortable, small undersea boat that could move swiftly.

4．Verne wrote this book in order to ________.

[　　]

A．lead to better understanding between Europe and America

B．encourage men to try things though impossible

C．lead to discoveries in the centre of the earth

D．entertain people by a story that could never happen

Netizens name the “father of hybrid rice” for Nobel prize

　　“The Nobel Peace Prize does not limit its winners to politicians and organizations devoted to the prevention of war, ” the post said．“It’s also open to people and organizations who try to eliminate problems and narrow the wealth gap．”

　　“Elimination of poverty and hunger is creating peace, ”it said．“With his extraordinary contribution to grain growth in the country and the world, Yuan is fully qualified for the prize．”

　　The Beijing News reported that a member of the Nobel Committee said in a meeting with students of Tsinghua Unversity in March that China is likely to make breakthroughs in the Nobel literature and peace prizes．

　　This year’s Nobel Peace Prize went to Muhammad Yunus and the Grameen Bank for their continuous efforts to grant small sum loans to the poor．

　　This Friday, more than 94 percent of more than 8500 people surveyed were in favor of Yuan getting the prize．

　　Yuan, a household name in China, is regarded as the most famous farmer in the country．He is noted for inventing a form of rice with a much higher yield than average crops．

　　With more than half of China’s paddy fields growing Yuan’s rice, his invention has fed millions of people in the world’s most populous country．

　　His “super rice” has also been introduced to more than 20 other countries．

閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)下題的具體要求，簡(jiǎn)要回答問(wèn)題．

　　The north magnetic pole(磁極)is no longer a resident of Canada．It has drifted across the Canadian Arctic and is now angling toward Siberia．

　　Not to be confused with the geographic North Pole－the northern extremity of the Earth’s axis(地軸)，the north magnetic pole(where the Earth’s magnetic field is directed downward)is moving due to natural changes in the Earth’s magnetic field, a process that originates about 3, 000 kilometers below our feet, in the outer core(核心)of the planet．But scientists are now noticing that the magnetic pole has picked up its pace．

　　Over the past century, the pole has been migrating at an average speed of about 10 kilometers per year, says Larry Newitt, head of Geomagnetic Laboratory at Natural Resources Canada in Ottawa．Since the 1970s, this speed has increased to about 50 kilometers per year．

　　Scientists are wondering why the speed is increasing, says Newitt．One Hypothesis(假說(shuō))relates it to “magnetic jerks”, sudden shifts(變化)in the rate of change of the magnetic field．There have been three jerks in the past four decades, each one correlating to an increase in speed．

　　If the north magnetic pole continues at its current rate, it could reach Siberia by 2056．

　　“For most of recorded history, the pole has been a part of Canada, and now it’s not,” says Newitt．“It may be a blow to our collective psyche, but other than that, it doesn’t have a major effect on most people’s existence．

1．Find in the passage a word closest in meaning to the underlined word “angling”．

2．What could happen to the north magnetic pole by the middle of the 21 century?(回答詞數(shù)不超過(guò)8個(gè))

3．What is the main idea of the passage?(回答詞數(shù)不超過(guò)8個(gè))
