13．You have two eyes and they are set close together on the front of your face．Have you wondered why？The reasons are simple and important to the way you see the rest of your world．
 Your eyes are like two small cameras．A camera catches an image of an object and records it on film．Similarly，when you look at something，each eye takes in what it sees and sends this image to the back of the eyeball．Because your eyes are set close together，they view the world from about the same height but from slightly different angles．Working as a team，the eyes send the images to your brain，which puts them together into a single，centered image．
 Seeing in stereo means seeing with two eyes working together，which is called stereoscopic sight．This allows you to view the world in three dimensions，or 3-D．Seeing depth helps you to judge the distance between you and the objects you see and to adjust to the changing angle at which you see something as you move closer to or farther away from it．If images are coming from only one eye，however，only two of these dimensions----height and width----can be perceived．A world seen with one eye is thus two-dimensional，as in a photograph．
Now consider why your two eyes are on the front of your face．Think of other animals with the same arrangement．They are all animals that hunt，like lions and wolves．Their eyes face directly in front of them．This provides a field of sight about 180 degrees wide，which is called binocular（雙眼的） sight．On the other hand，animals that are hunted have eyes on the sides of the head，which provides nearly360-degree field of sight．In order to stay alive，they need to see things coming from the sides and from behind．However，without stereoscopic sight，they have difficulty determining how far a danger is．
 With sight both stereoscopic and binocular，humans share with animal hunters the ability to see from side to side and to accurately determine the distance．If you think it would be great to have another type of sight，perhaps with hundreds of tiny eyes like many insects do，think again!Each tiny insect eye sees only a tiny part．Besides，what if you needed glasses？Be glad for the eyesight that you have．
67．According to the passage，the similarity of an eye and a camera is that they bothB．
A．can imagine objects              
B．can record images
C．provide centered images          
D．work at the same height
68．Stereoscopic sight is a result of havingA．
A．two eyes close to each other that work together
B．hundreds of eyes，all seeing tiny parts of an image
C．a(chǎn) three-hundred-sixty-degree field of sight
D．one eye on either side of the head，each seeing a different image
69．What is the meaning of the underlined word"perceived"in Para3 most similar to？B
A．known         B．seen         C．taken            D．understood
70．We can infer from the last paragraph thatD．
A．our eyes work like cameras
B．a(chǎn)nimal hunters are glad for the sight they have
C．the three dimensions are depth，height and width
D．human beings are fortunate to have such eyesight．

分析 本文是一篇說明文，主要講述了人類的眼睛是如何看世界的．人類的眼睛就像兩個小型照相機，首先捕獲到物體，然后記錄視網(wǎng)膜上，兩只眼睛從同一高度的不同的角度看物體，看到的物體就是三維立體的．

解答 67-70．BABD
67題答案：B細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第二段內(nèi)容 A camera catches an image of an object and records it on film．Similarly，when you look at something，each eye takes in what it sees and sends this image to the back of the eyeball．（相機能捕捉到圖象并將其記錄到膠卷中，類似地當你看著物體的時候每只眼睛都會捕捉到它說看到的然后將其送到眼球的后部）．可知眼睛和照相機的共同特點是能夠記錄影像，故選B．
68題答案：A考查細節(jié)推理，根據(jù)文章第三段內(nèi)容Seeing in stereo means seeing with two eyes working together，which is called stereoscopic sight．（立體視覺意味著用兩只眼睛一起看--這被稱作立體視覺）．可知答案選A．
69題答案：B考查細節(jié)推理，文章第三段介紹了兩只眼睛看物體的話是三維立體的，而一只眼睛看的世界就是二維的，由此推斷該詞意為"see"，選B．
70題答案：D考查細節(jié)推理，文章末段對比了人類的眼睛和其他動物的眼睛，根據(jù)Be glad for the eyesight that you have．（有幸擁有你的視力）．可以判斷作者認為人類擁有這樣的眼睛是幸運的，選D．

點評 本文是一篇科教類閱讀，題目涉及多道細節(jié)理解題，做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對 性找出相關(guān)語句進行仔細分析，結(jié)合選項選出正確答案．推理判斷也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確的答案．

4．There are so many different plastic cards that adults have to carry around-library cards，savings cards for different banks，credit cards，just to name a few…So why not have one to replace them all？
Scott Barnhill，an 1l-year-old fifth-grade student in the US，has come up with an idea for a"Security One Card"．
Sound smart？The US Patent（專利） Office thought so，and it approved a patent for his idea in April．
Here's an example of how Barnhill's idea would work．
Let's say you have the three cards mentioned above．Instead of carrying them all，you could have just one by having additional magnetic strips（磁條） added to it．
The magnetic strips can be added to any plastic card，even a blank one．
Companies could add their information to one of the strips．For example，you could ask a library to add a strip to your bankcard．
Barnhill has a lot of hobbies，including designing websites．He got the idea at the age of 9when he saw his father using a keycard to enter their hotel room．He thought，"The hotels are wasting money with the key cards．"So，instead of using a hotel-issued key card，guests could use their credit cards--if the hotel added a special magnetic strip．At check-out，the strip would simply be removed．
Now that he has his patent，his next step is a letter-writing campaign to get support from major credit card companies．
"I'm going to be writing letters to credit card companies to ask if they can co-operate．I hope they'll give me money every time someone puts a strip on the back of another card，or every time the idea is used，"Barnhill said．"I'll write the letters and see what they say．If they say no，I'll ask someone else，another credit card company．"
He is hoping to make money from his patent and has decided it would be better to collect royalties（專利使用費）rather than sell his patent if the idea   take off．
"The ATM person who invented that sold it totally，and if he'd chosen royalties he'd get like 2cents for every transaction （交易） and he'd be a billionaire now，"Scott said．

68．The immediate cause of Scott's invention was thatC．
A．he found that adults have to carry around so many plastic cards
B．he realized it's big waste to make so many plastic cards instead of only one
C．he found even a hotel issued its own cards--keycards
D．he realized it would be a good chance to make big money
69．The advantage of"Security One Card"is that itC．
A．could remove the burden of taking all kinds of plastics cards
B．would he very safe
C．could save your money
D．could have a lot of magnetic strips on it
70．The underlined phrase"takes off"in the last but one paragraph probably meansB．
A．makes money         B．wins a lot of support
C．is worth a lot      D．is practical
71．From the story，we can see Scott isC．
A．more magic than smart             B．clever but lazy
C．creative，determined and wise     D．far-sighted．

1．Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways．When people cheat，it's not fair to other people，like the kids who studied for the test or who the true winners of a game were．
Many people like the action of cheating．It makes difficult things seem easy．Like getting all the right answers on the test．But it doesn't solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won't help on the next test---unless the person cheats again．
Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them．The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade．And，if they get caught cheating，they will be in trouble at school，and may be at home，too．
Some kids cheat because they are busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying．Other kids might feel like they can't pass the test without cheating，even when there seems to be a"good reason"for cheating．
If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn't study，it would be better to talk with the teacher about this．And if you don't have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice，you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school．
A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together．Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating．

31．The author thinks that when kids cheat in classA．
A．it is unfair to other people
B．it does harm to their health
C．teachers should punish them
D．teachers should not stop them
32．Some students like cheating mainly becauseC．
A．the material in the test is very difficult
B．they want to do better than the others
C．cheating can make hard things seem very easy
D．they have little time to study their lessons
33．The fourth paragraph mainly tells usB．
A．cheating isn't a good idea
B．why kids cheat in the test
C．some kids can't pass the test without cheating
D．some kids don't spent the time studying
34．We can learn from the passageB．
A．cheaters are often thought highly of
B．people show no respect for those who cheat
C．parents whose kids cheat are often in trouble
D．kids cheat in the test because of swim practice
35．In the passage those cheaters are advised toB．
A．spend more time on school than on sports
B．find good solutions instead of cheating
C．try hard to be intelligent rather than lazy
D．a(chǎn)sk their classmates for good methods of study．

8．From now on，never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings．Instead，realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born．Only you have the power to make those seeds grow．
The seeds，and the power to grow them，are contained in the best machine ever created：the human mind．Success is a choice and not a chance．You were born a winner．You can be a success if only you make the right choice．
You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem（自尊）．Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to have over yourself，and thus over your life．People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power，or responsibility for their lives．They are leaves tossed（搖擺） by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather．
You can control your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life．Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance．Successful people realize that they are responsible．
Everything happens as a result of something．If we can identify the cause，we can control the effect．We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe．One generally rises to the level that one expects．We are responsible for setting our expectations．Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence．
In short，in all areas of your life，whether they are financial，physical，emotional，or spiritual，you are responsible．Once you recognize this，accept it，and firmly believe it，you are on the road to success．
68．People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because theyD．
A．a(chǎn)re easily affected by windy weather             
B．a(chǎn)re ready to change their minds
C．don't have the power to face their fate            
D．can't control themselves
69．Losers would think thatA．
A．their failure is only because of bad luck           
B．they don't make efforts to succeed
C．working hard will lead to success             
D．success is the result of hard work
70．It can be inferred from paragraph 5 thatB．
A．success is a chance
B．We are what we make us
C．thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mind
D．developing confidence is the only way to future success
71．The last paragraph serves asC．
A．the proof of the author's points                    
B．a(chǎn)n introduction to another topic  
C．the conclusion of the argument                     
D．a(chǎn) comparison between two views．

18．Swimming is one of those activities that can be learned early in life．Little children can learn to swim as soon as they walk．In fact，you need the same skills in walking as in swimming．However，I believe that five is the best age to learn．By five or six，a child knows fear of water，a very important thing to know．It's wise to be afraid，to recognize true danger．Young ones understand that the water can sometimes be very dangerous．
To really benefit from swimming，every swimmer should learn，as soon as possible，these four basic strokes：butterfly，backstroke，breaststroke，and crawl．I feel that one of these---the breaststroke is different from the others，since some young swimmers use this stroke naturally，without any training．
In swimming there are certain rules every swimmer should follow：
1．Never swim alone!No matter how good you are in the water，don't risk drowning by swimming alone．If you swim by yourself，with no life guards or friends with you，you may get into trouble．
2．Don't go beyond your abilities．Most swimmers know enough not to swim too far from the bank or the beach．Showing off by doing dangerous tricks is no good．Swim safely and you will continue to swim and alive．
3．Don't smoke．Swimming depends on a healthy body； good lungs are part of it．
4．Work at any activity that builds muscles．
59．Little children can learn to swim as soon asB．
A．they can talk                   
B．they start walking
C．they have no fear of the water      
D．they are five or six years old 
60．The author believes that fear of water isB．
A．stupid                          
B．sensible（明智的）    
C．dangerous                   
D．not smart 
61．The stroke that some young swimmers use first isC．
A．butterfly                       
B．backstroke   
C．breaststroke                    
D．crawl
62．According to the passage，you should not swim alone becauseD．
A．the water is too cold             
B．your parents would not be happy 
C．something in the water might attack   
D．you might drown．

5．What makes one person more intelligent than another？What makes one person a genius，like the brilliant Albert Einstein，and another person a fool？Are people born intelligent or stupid，or is intelligence the result of where and how you live？These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear．
We know，however，that just being born with a good mind is not enough．In some ways，the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle．It needs exercise．Mental （done with the mind） exercise is particularly important for young children．Many child psychologists （心理學家） think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about．The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent．If，on the other hand，children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do，they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent．
Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children．According to some psychologists，if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot，then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things．So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children，such as"That was a very clever thing you did"or"You are such a smart child"．
36．The words"intelligent"and"brilliant"in the first paragraph probably meanAwhile"dull"in the second paragraph meansA．
A．bright and splendid； slow in thinking and understanding  
B．pretty and handsome； ordinary-looking
C．great and important； common                       
D．hopeful and helpful； careless　
37．According to the context we can guess that a genius isCwhile an idiot isC
A．a(chǎn) normal person； a funny person                         
B．a(chǎn) strong person； a weak person
C．a(chǎn) highly intelligent person； a foolish or weak-minded person  
D．a(chǎn) famous person； an ordinary person　
38．A personDis more likely to become a genius．
A．whose parents are clever                
B．often thinking about difficult problems
C．often helped by his parents and teachers    
D．born with a good brain and putting it into active use　
39．It is better for parentsA．
A．to praise and encourage their children more often
B．to be hard on their children
C．to leave their children alone with nothing to do
D．to give their children as much help as possible　
40．Which of the following is NOT true according to the article？C
A．Parents play an important part in their children's growth．
B．The less you use your mind the duller you may become．
C．Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live．
D．What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion．
