Most people believe they don’t have much imagination. They are    11   . Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to   12  it. Creativity isn’t always  13 with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time   14   think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.
　　Making connections. This technique involves taking   15  ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the ideas/words  16  with candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the   17 to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original   18  ; you could buy him tickets to match or take him out for the night.
　　NO limits! Imagine that normal limitations don’t   19  . You have as much time /space / money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new  20  . If your goal is to learn to ski,    21  , you can now practise skiing every day of your life (because you have the time and the money). Now   22   this to reality. Maybe you can practise skiing every day in December, or every Monday in January.
Be someone else! Look at the situation from a    23  point of view. Good businessmen use this technique in trade, and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the  24   in their books. They ask questions: What does this character want? Why can’t she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? If your goal involves other people, put yourself in their    25 . The best fishermen think like fish!

Even plants can run a fever, especially when they're under attack by insects or disease. But unlike human, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away—straight up. A decade ago, adopting the infrared(紅外線)scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide(殺蟲劑)spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that don't have pest problems.
Even better, Paley's Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a colour­coded map showing where plants were running “fevers”. Farmers could then spot­spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.
The bad news is that Paley's company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long­term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. “This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States, ” says George Oerther of Texas A & M. Ray Jackson, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.
小題1:Plants will send out an increased amount of heat when they are________.
A．facing an infrared scanner
B．sprayed with pesticides
C．in poor physical condition
D．exposed to excessive sun rays
小題2:In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to________.
A．estimate the damage to the crops
B．draw a colour­coded map
C．measure the size of the affected area
D．locate the problem area
小題3:Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by________.
A．resorting to spot­spraying
B．transforming poisoned rain
C．consulting infrared scanning experts
D．detecting crop problems at an early stage
小題4:The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties—________.
A．its high cost
B．the lack of official support
C．the lack of financial support
D．its failure to help increase production

Futurologists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050.
TV channels will have disappeared. Instead, people will choose a program from a “menu” and a computer will send the program directly to the television. Today, we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away. By 2050, music, films, programs, newspapers, and books will come to us by computer.
Cars will run on new, clean fuels and they will go very fast. Cars will have computers to control the speed and there won’t be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination. Space planes will take people halfway around the world in 2 hours. Today, the United States Space Shuttle can go into space and land on Earth again. By 2050, space planes will fly all over the world and people will fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just 2 hours.
Robots will have replaced people in factories. Many factories already use robots. Big companies prefer robots — they don’t ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere — in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.
Medical technology will have conquered many diseases. Today, there are devices（設備）that connect directly to the brain to help people hear. By 2050, we will be able to help blind and deaf people to see and hear again.
Scientist will have discovered how to control genes（基因）. Scientists have already produced clones of animals. By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people, and decide how they look, how they behave and how clever they are. Scientists will be able to do these things, but should they?
小題1:We can learn from the passage that some big companies prefer robots to human workers, because human workers __________.
A．often ask for more pay
B．can work 24 hours a day
C．are not clever enough
D．are often late for work
小題2:The underlined word “conquered” in Paragraph 5 most probably means ________.

After years of hearing drivers complain about scratches on their cars, Japan's Nissan Motor Company has officially announced the next big thing---a paint that not only resists scratches and scrapes, but actually repairs itself within a few days.
The new material, developed by Nippon Paint Company, contains an elastic rubbery-like resin(彈性樹脂) that is able to heal minor marks caused by car wash equipment, parking lot encounters, road debris (石頭碎片) or even on-purpose destruction. The automaker admits its results vary depending on the temperature and the depth of the damage, but adds this is the only paint like it in the world, and tests prove it works. Minor scratches, the most common type, are said to slowly fade over about a week. And once they're gone, there is no trace that they were ever there. The special paint is said to last for at least three years after it is first applied, but there is no word yet on whether more can be added after that period.
Nissan claims car washes are the worst offenders for this type of damage, accounting for at least 80 percent of all incidents. But the complete auto-healing won't come without scratching your wallet. The vehicle maker notes the special paint adds about $ 100 U.S. to the price of a car. It plans to use its new chemical mixture only on its X - Trail SUVs in Japan for now, as it looks for a more widespread presentation. And while plans to offer the feature overseas haven't been made yet, if it's a hit there, you can be almost sure market forces will drive it to these shores, as well.
小題1:From the article, we can find that_______.
A．the paint has already been used on cars by now
B．it beats other products of its kind in its lengthy effect
C．car damage is mainly caused by scratches and scrapes
D．marketing this paint in Europe is not under way
小題2:The paint used on cars can______.
A．last 3 years before it is re-applied again
B．fade only in a few days
C．help to protect cars from minor paint damage
D．reduce car scrape incidents to 20 percent
小題3:What can be inferred from the article?
A．The paint was developed by Nissan Motor Company.
B．The paint might work better in summer than in winter.
C．The mark on the car could disappear as soon as the paint is applied.
D．The paint is very popular in Japan.

Imagine, one day, getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in only a couple of hours, and then, after a full day of work, going back home to Beijing and having dinner there.
Sounds unusual, doesn't it? But it's not that unrealistic, with the development of China’s high—speed railway system. And that’s not all. China has an even greater high-speed railway plan—to connect the country with Southeast Asia, and eventually Eastern Europe.
China is negotiating to extend its own high·-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years, eventually reaching London and Singapore.
China has proposed three such projects. The first would possibly connect Kunming with  Singapore via Vietnam and Malaysia. Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and possibly to Germany. The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe.
If China’s plan for the high-speed railway goes forward, people could zip over from London to Berlin in under two days.
The new system would still follow China’s high-speed railway standard. And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour, almost as fast as some airplanes.
China’s bullet train(高速客車),the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou, already has the   World’s fastest average speed. It covers 1,069 kilometers in about three hours.
Of course, there are some technical challenges to overcome. There are so many issues that need to be settled, such as safety, rail gauge(軌距),maintenance of railway tracks. So, it’s important to pay attention to every detail.
But the key issue is really money. China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on domestic railway expansion.
China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rather than with capital  investment. Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain development.
It’ll be a win-win project. For other countries, the railway network will definitely create more opportunities for business, tourism and so on, not to mention the better communication among those countries.
For China, such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources, but would also help develop China’s far west. We foresee that in the coming decades, millions of people will migrate to the western regions, where the land is empty and resources unused. With high-speed trains, people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for all. And they’11 trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries.
小題1:China’s new high-speed railway plan will be a win-win project because     .
A．China will get much-needed resources and develop its western regions
B．China and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various ways
C．China will develop its railway system and communication with other countries
D．the foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation, business and tourism
小題2:According to the passage, the greatest challenge to the new high-speed railway plan is     .
A．technical issues
B．safety of the system
C．financial problems
D．maintenance of railway tracks
小題3:Which of the following words best describes the author’s attitude towards China’s high-speed railway plan?
A．Critical.B．Reserved.C．DoubtfulD．Positive.
小題4:Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A．New Railway Standards
B．Big Railway Dreams
C．High-speed Bullet Trains
D．International Railway Network

Today just as technology changed the face of industry, farmers have undergone an "agricultural revolution". On the farm of today, machines provide all the power.
One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer. A few forward-looking farmers are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently. The computers help them keep more accurate records so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant, how much livestock to buy, when to sell their products, and how much profit they can expect. Many computer companies have been developing special computer programs just for farmers. Programs are being written for hog(豬) producers, grain farmers, potato farmers, and dairy farmers. In the future, farmers will be able to purchase computer programs made to their needs. Because of the growing importance of computers on the farm, students at agricultural colleges are required to take computer classes in addition to their normal agricultural courses. There can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers even more in the future. While the old-time farm depended on horse power, and modern farms depend on machine power, farms of the future will depend on computer power.
Another technological advance which is still in the experimental stage is the robot, a real "mechanized hired hand" that will be able to move and, in some ways, think like a human being. Unlike farmers of the present, farmers of the future will find that many day-to-day tasks will be done for them. Scientists are now developing robots that will be able to shear(修剪) sheep, drive tractors, and harvest fruit. Even complex jobs will be done by robots. For example, in order to milk their cows, farmers must first drive them into the special barn(畜棚), then connect them to the milking machines, watch the machines, and disconnect them when they are finished. In the future, this will all be done by robots. In addition, when the milking is completed, the robots will automatically check to make sure that the milk is pure. The complete mobilization of the farm is far in the future, but engineers expect that some robots will be used before long.
小題1:Which sentence carries the main idea of the whole passage? 
A．The first sentence of the first paragraph.
B．The first sentence of the second paragraph.
C．The first sentence of the third paragraph.
D．The last sentence of the second paragraph.
小題2:Which of the following statements is true?  
A．Farmers in the future will depend totally on computers.
B．Both computers and robots have been in use on today's farms.
C．Farmers mainly use machines on their farms at present.
D．Farmers can do nothing without the help of computers on today's farms.
小題3: According to the engineers,_____________ will be done by robots in the near future.
A．all farm workB．milking cows
C．most of the farm workD．some house work
小題4:What is the best title for the passage?
A．Computer—Farmers' Best FriendB．Farmers in the Future
