      Some people believe that classes, teachers and school buildings will no longer be necessary in the near future because of the Internet and other new technology. Perhaps this will be true one day, but if the world has no schools, I can't imagine how our society will be. In fact, we should learn how to use new technology to make schools better. We should invent a new kind of school connected to libraries, museums, science centers, labs and even companies. Technological companies should create learning programs for schools. Scientists could give talks through the Internet. TV networks and local stations could develop programs about things students are studying in school. Labs could set up websites to show new technology, so students could see it on the Internet.
       Is this a dream? No. There have been many cities where this is beginning to happen. Here the whole city is connected to the Internet, and learning can take place at home, at school, and in the office. Businesses provide programs for the schools and the society. The schools provide computer labs for people without their own computers at home. Because everyone can go on the Internet, older people use it as much as younger ones, and everyone can visit faraway libraries and museums as easily as nearby ones. How will this new thing of school change the usual way of learning? It is a little early to be sure, but it is very exciting to think about it. Technology will change the way we learn; schools will change as well; and we will learn something from the Internet.

(1)、Who thinks that students won't have to go to school?

A、Everyone. B、The writer. C、Some people D、The teachers.
(2)、What does "a new kind of school"mean in the passage?

A、A school with many new computers. B、A school with many new students. C、A school with many new teachers. D、A school connected to the Internet.
(3)、What the writer thinks is that____________.

A、schools are still necessary B、more schools should be built C、there should be fewer schools D、more computers are needed in schools
(4)、Why do people think learning can take place at home, at school, and in the office?

A、Because whole city is connected to the Internet. B、Because everyone can go on the Internet. C、Because getting online is very easy D、Because Scientists could give talks through the Internet.
(5)、What fact does the passage NOT provide?

A、Technology will change our way of learning B、If you are a student, you can set up websites to show new technology. C、The schools provide computer labs for those who have no personal computers D、On the Internet, you can visit another city's libraries as easily as the people there.

    Is your TV connected to the Internet? What about your chair, or your fridge? Probably they are not. But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, thanks to the so-called “Internet of things”.

    The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. Earlier this year, Samsung CEO spent a lot of time talking about the Internet things. He said that four years from now, every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things, no matter whether it's a remote control or a washing machine.

    So, how do household objects that are part of the Internet of things work? Well, think of a common chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold.

    An Internet-connected camera could help people feel safer in their homes. It can know people's faces and has an infrared sensor(红外传感器), so even if it's dark it can see when someone passes by and send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who's there. If the person is someone you don't know, it can tell you that, too.

    But according to MIT Technology Review, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security(安全)systems to the Internet, there may be some problems. For example, many early connected-home objects don't have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked. Moreover, it could be difficult to get these new machines to work together especially when they are made by different companies. To fight this, many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which had 45 members by late 2015.

    So, picture this: you enter your home.The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? It may happen sooner than you think.

    Many objects in the universe are invisible, but they send radio waves. The radio telescope* thus appeared, and it is considered one of the greatest inventions in the twentieth century. Reber built the world's first radio telescope in 1937. Ryle and Hewish developed radio telescope systems for the location of weak radio sources, and they shared the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1974.

    A radio telescope is usually made up of:

    One or more antennas to collect the radio waves. Most antennas are made in the shape of a dish to collect and reflect, the radio waves to the sub—reflector, in the same way as a curved mirror focuses visible light to one point.

    A receiver and amplifier to receive the radio waves from the sub—reflector, and make these weak radio waves strong enough to be recorded and turned into electronic signals. To make an amplifier sensitive enough, it is usually cooled to, very low temperatures (e. g. as low as —270℃).

    A recorder to keep a record of the electronic signals. Most radio telescopes today keep the signals to the computer's memory disk for astronomers to analyze later.

    Radio wavelengths are much longer than those of visible light, and the radio waves from deep space are always weak. To catch Radio wavelengths are much longer than those of visible light, and the radio waves from deep space are always weak. To catch these waves, radio telescopes usually have huge antennas. The sizes of most antennas in use today are around 50 to 300 metres in diameter. The antenna of FAST in Guizhou, China, the latest and largest radio telescope in the world, is 500 metres in diameter, as large as the size of 30 football fields.

    To avoid interferences, and keep the telescopes sensitive, radio telescopes are built in places where there are no human radio waves or electronic signals. For example, FAST is 5 kilometres away from the closest village and 25 kilometres away from the nearest town.

    Radio telescopes create pictures of the sky, not in visible light, but in radio waves. This is extremely useful, because there are objects that can't be seen, objects that we wouldn't even know without radio telescopes.

A 13-year-old American has made a cheap machine that can help blind people read.

The blind can read by using Braille —- a system of small bumps(隆起物) that the blind touch to read the letters. The machine that makes these small bumps usually costs at least $2, 000. It is called Braille writer. The American schoolboy, Shubham Banerjee, made a new Braille writer from a Lego tool that lets people create robots. Banerjee has called his new machine the Braigo — a combination(组合) of the words Braille and Lego. It costs just $350. It works by changing electronic text into Braille and then printing it with computer or mobile machine.

Baneryee designed(设计) his Braigo last year for a school science exhibition. Since then. he has caught the interest of Silicon Valley in the US.

The big technology company Intel spent money on Banerjee's machine last November, but they did not say how much money they put in. Banerjee also got $35, 000 from his father to help him start the project. His father works as a computer engineer(工程师) at Intel. He spoke about why he gave so much money to his son, saying, "We as parents started to be interested more, thinking that he's on to something and this invention has to continue." Banerjee told the AP News, "My dream would probably be having most of the blind people.. using my Braigo."

B. 根据短文内容和所给中文提示,在空白处写出单词的正确形式。(每空限填一词)

A neighborhood party is a great way to raise money for a charity. You can also celebrate a holiday or get to know some {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (陌生人) in your neighborhood.

 Before you begin, you first need to work out where to have the party. Community centers or your {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(私密的) garden are often available for it. It could be a public and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(方便的) place like a park or a street.

 Next, ask your friends and neighbors who are {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(有耐心的) to help. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (幽默的) volunteers are important for making sure the party runs successfully. Get plenty of people to help tell others about the {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(地址) of the party, set up the party, and finally clean up after the party. All the volunteers take {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(骄傲、自豪) in all the work they do.

During the party, many activities are organized for kids so that they can enjoy {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(他们自己). At most parties, people also like to {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(放置) out some food and drinks. The best parties are when everyone brings something to share. There's no better way to bring the community together and spread love and joy than to throw a party! It's really a special time to {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(联系) with their neighbors.
