阅读下面短文, 从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Harmful microbes like bacterias, viruses and other germs are pathogens. They may enter your bodies and make you ill. The immune system is the body's defence system that protects you from illness and disease caused by the pathogens.

The immune system is made up of non﹣specialized defences such as skin, tears and the acidic juice produced by the stomach, keeping you from the pathogens. It also has some highly specialized defences, which are different kinds of immune cells, grouped into phagocytes and lymphocytes. Phagocytes are a type of white blood cell. They are swimming around in your blood stream, always on the lookout for antigens﹣the pathogens that have entered your bodies. Whenever they see one, their will eat it. However, some antigens are hard to find and kill. Then lymphocytes, which are also white blood cells and the main types are B cells, T helper cells and T killer cells, Will be the killers of the sneaky antigens.

B cells, T helper and T killer cells work together to find and kill these antigens. B cells produce substances, called antibodies, which stick to the antigen. When that happens, it will tell the T helper cells to come over and either: 1. help the B cells kill the antigen, or 2. call the phagocytes or T killer cells to move in for the kill. Once a B cell or a T cell attacks an antigen, they create cells to "remember" it. Those "memory cells" hang out in your blood if they see the same antigen again, they quickly recognize, it so your immune system can act faster at killing it.

The immune system is more powerful than you probably imagine. Scientists from the University of Pennsylvania recently took immune cells from three patients with leukemia, then genetically changed them into "serial Keller "cells to attack cancer cells. The study was small but the results were groundbreaking. The modified immune cells increased at least 1, 000 times in the body and killed all the cancer cells. Therefore, more "memory cells" were created.

The immune system can be developed. Eating lean protein food （beef, beans ）and food rich in vitamins A, C, and E（sweet potatoes, carrots ）, taking a 30﹣minute walk every day and reducing your stress levels, etc. will help you achieve it.

（1）、What can the immune system do?

A、Keep you from antibodies. B、Protect you against antigens. C、Make your bodies weak and sick. D、Help microbes enter your bodies

（2）、How are the sneaky antigens found and killed?

A、Phagocytes, B, T helper and T killer cells work together B、Skin, tears, acidic juice and immune cells work together C、B cells create "memory cells" to swim around in the blood D、B cells produce antibodies to tell T helper and T killer cells

（3）、What does the underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refer to?

A、The immune system can be made more powerful B、Less antigens can be killed by the immune system C、White blood cells act less quickly in the immune system D、The immune system can be changed into the "serial killer"

（4）、This article is mainly about .

A、the types of white blood cells B、a research report about human health C、the cause of illness and disease D、an introduction to the immune system.

Perhaps you have heard a lot about the Internet, but what is it, do you know? The Internet is a network. It uses the telephone to join millions of computer together around the world.
Maybe that doesn't sound very interesting. But when you are joined to the internet, there are lots and lots of things you can do. You can send e-mail to your friends, and they can get them in a few seconds. You can also do with all kinds of information on the World Wide Web (WWW).
There are many different kinds of computers now. They all can be joined to the internet. Most of them are small machines sitting on people's desks at home, but there are still many others in schools, offices, or large companies. These computers are owned by people and companies, but no one really owns the internet itself.
There are lots of places for you to go into the internet. For example, your school may have the internet. You use it during lessons or free time. Libraries often have computers joined to the internet. You are welcome to use it at any time.
Thanks to the internet, the world is becoming small. It is possible for you to work at home with a computer in front, getting and sending the information you need. You can buy or sell what ever you want by the internet. But do you know 98% of the information on the internet is in English? So what will English be like tomorrow?

根据短文内容，判断下列句子是否正确.
   Plants are very important living things. Life could not go if there were no plants. This is because plants can produce food from the air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot produce food from the air, water and sunlight as plants do. Animals get their food by eating plants or other animals which eat plants. So animals and man need plants in order to live.
   If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering ones.
Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed. Some have two, three or four. Some have many. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana.
   Most non-flowering plants don't grow from seeds. They grow from spores (孢子). Spores are very, very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as the seeds. When these spores fall on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.

      Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You turned around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you!
      Parapsychologists (灵学家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether such a “sixth sense” really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist (心理学家) at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments.
    In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects（受试者）were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later, when he questioned the subjects, almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them.
      For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they weren't. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren't.
    Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they're being stared at. If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments, said Baker, “I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.”

The human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms, but it can, hold much more information than most computers. However, there is another difference between humans and computers. Computers don't forget information they are given, but humans often do. No one remembers everything, and luckily we don't usually have to. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions.
◆Try to use new information immediately*. For example, if you meet someone who says "Hi! I'm Carlos," don't just say "Hello." Repeat the person's name. Say "________"
◆Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, it's hard to memorize 109244153. But if you break it into three parts--109/244/153—it becomes easier.
◆Write out what you need to remember over and over again. This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas * or facts.
◆Always review information. If you bring what you've learned back to your mind, they become easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it's a good idea to review the new things you learned that clay.
◆Discuss with a friend. It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what's right and what's wrong, and it will lead to the right answer.
◆Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory. You can always do something to help improve your memory. And everyone's memory gets better if they use it often enough.
All of the suggestions are helpful. If you follow them, you are certain to improve your memory.

Our life will be different from nowadays with robots appearing in our homes. So what will the future be like? Here are some students' ideas.

I expect to live in a more beautiful and cleaner city. The street will be cleaned by the robots once a day.

—Ben

There will be more kinds of food to choose from and the food will be more delicious. The robots can make food for us。

—Karen

We do not have to spend much time on heavy work because robots will take up most of our work, such as washing the clothes. So we will have more vacations. We can take a vacation on the moon. We will not live on the earth but on the moon or other planets.

—Mark

I expect that most families will have their own planes made by their robots, and travel will become more convenient. The plane is faster than any other transportation(交通工具).

—Sue

I hope robots can make clothes for us. The clothes could change their sizes and colors by themselves.

—Sam

Choose the best answer.

What will man be like in the future-in 5. 000 or even 50, 000 years from now？We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time. Now look at the chart below, and you'll find some differences.

Body part	Changes	Reasons
Height	Grow taller	About 3 inches taller than 500 years ago
Head	Larger	Man uses brains more and more
Eyes	Grow stronger
Arms and legs	Grow weaker	Used less
Fingers	Grow more sensitive	Used a great deal in modern life
Hair	Disappear	Does not serve a useful purpose any longer

Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature(生物) to look at！This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions(情感) similar to our owns.
