          Niels Henrik David Bohr was born in Copenhagen on October 7,1885, as the son of Christian
    Bohr, Professor of Physiology at Copenhagen University, and his wife Ellen. Niels, together with his
    younger brother Harald, grew up in an atmosphere most favorable to the development of his gift-his
    father was a great physiologist, who encouraged his interest in physics while he was still at school, and
    his mother came from a family successful in the field of education.
         In 1903, Bohr entered Copenhagen University where he came under the guidance of Professor C.
    Christiansen, a highly gifted physicist, and gained his master's degree in physics in 1909 and two years
    later his doctorate.
         While still a student, the announcement by the Academy of Sciences in Copenhagen of a prize to
    be awarded for the solution to a certain scientific problem, caused him to conduct an experimental and
    theoretical investigation of surface tension (表面张力). This work, which he carried out in his father's
    laboratory and for which he received the prize offered (a gold medal), was published in the  
    Transactions of the Royal Society in 1908.
          In the autumn of 1911 he went to Cambridge University, where he profited by following the
    experimental work going on in the Cavendish Laboratory under Sir J. J.Thomson's guidance. In
    19131914 Bohr held a lectureship in physics  at Copenhagen University and in 19141916 a similar
    appointment at the Victoria University in Manchester. In  1916 he was appointed Professor of
    Theoretical Physics at Copenhagen University, and from 1920 (until his death in 1962) he was the head
    of the Institute for Theoretical Physics, established for him at that university.

    1. Being interested in physics in his childhood, Bohr________.

    A. was greatly influenced by his family  
    B. always visited his father's lab
    C. benefited from his school teachers    
    D. had read many science books

    2. From the passage, we know that in 1911 Bohr________.

    A. got his doctorate              
    B. moved to England
    C. entered Copenhagen University 
    D. had his work on surface tension published

    3. What's the writer's purpose in writing this passage?

    A. To introduce how Niels Henrik David Bohr became a great physicist.
    B. To tell Niels Henrik David Bohr's work experience.
    C. To give a brief introduction to Niels Henrik David Bohr.
    D. To list Niels Henrik David Bohr's great achievements.

          The name England comes from the words "Angle land". The Angles were people who came from
    northern Germany in the 5th and 6th centuries, after the Romans had left.The French name for England
    is Angleterre, which also means "Angle land". There were also invasions (侵略) of southern England by
    Saxons and Jutes (people from another part of northern Germany). English people are sometimes called
    AngloSaxons.  The Celts who used to live in this area were forced to move back into Scotland, Ireland,
    Cornwall and into Western France (the area known as Brittany).
          England at first became a series of kingdoms, the strongest of which was Wessex (the name comes
    from WestSaxon). The names of many of the areas in England come from this period-for example, the
    name Sussex comes from SouthSaxon, Essex from EastSaxon, and East Anglia from EastAngle.The
    Vikings then came from Denmark, and later the Normans invaded from France.Eventually England,
    Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland were united, forming the United Kingdom.
          The English language is the main language spoken throughout England, although there are many
    different accents.It can be difficult to know how to spell or to pronounce some English words, because
    the language has been influenced by Latin and Greek (languages used at the time of the Romans, and
    used in religion and education until recent times), German (the language of the Angles, Saxons and Jutes), French(the language of the Normans), Gaelic/Scots (Celtic languages) and Danish (the language of the
    Vikings).
          There are now many people throughout the United Kingdom who speak a foreign language either as
    their first or second language; mainly due to immigration (移民) from Europe or the Commonwealth
    (countries which used to be part of the British Empire).

    1. According to the first paragraph, which of the following statements is NOT true?

    A. The Romans were forced to leave England when the Jutes attacked there.
    B. The Celts used to live in England but left for some reason.
    C. Southern England once was attacked by Saxons and Jutes.
    D. Angles and Saxons came from different parts of northern Germany.

    2. In the history of England, ________once was the strongest kingdom.

    A. Sussex  
    B. Wessex
    C. Essex  
    D. East Anglia

    3. Why do many people in the UK speak a foreign language nowadays?

    A. Because they are required to learn a foreign language at school.
    B. Because they plan to live outside the UK in the future.
    C. Because they have moved from other countries.
    D. Because they have worked in other countries.

    4. The author writes this passage to________.

    A. tell the history of England    
    B. tell how the United Kingdom was formed
    C. introduce the main spoken language throughout England
    D. tell the origin of the name of England

         Newspapers are one method of bringing the news to the public. Reporters, photographers,
    correspondents, and editors are some of the people who create newspapers. They are known as
    journalists.
          Reporters are journalists who go out and get the news. They attend meetings. They cover events
    such as court cases, plays, and sporting events. They interview people to get their views about what
    is going on. Reporters must be able to write a story quickly so as to meet a deadline. People do not
    want to read old news. They want to know what is going on as soon as it happens. Reporters
    sometimes phone or email their notes and quotations (引用语) to the paper from the scene. A
    reporter in the office then writes the story.
         A "stringer" is a parttime reporter who works when called on. A fire might break out in one part
    of town. An editor may ask a stringer who lives near the scene to cover the story.
    Reporters  often  work  with  photographers, or photojournalists. Photojournalists take the pictures
    that illustrate  (图解) the stories in a newspaper. They have to edit their pictures in time for them to
    appear with the story.
         A correspondent is a journalist who covers the news in a particular place or on a subject that he
    or she has special knowledge in. Large newspaper groups have correspondents in foreign countries
    to report the news there. A paper may have a correspondent who covers just medical news.
         An editor is a journalist who works at a desk in a newspaper office. Editors prepare the reporters'
    stories to be printed in the paper. They decide which story is most important and gets the frontpage
    headline. They decide which pictures to use. Editors do not often write the news, but they do write
    editorials (社论) in which they state their views on a topic or an issue.
         People who work as journalists have some things in common. They are curious, they like to write,
    and they have a "nose for news". They can spot news as it happens. They know what people want to
    read about.

    1. The underlined word "They" in Paragraph 2 refers to________.

    A. readers  
    B. journalists      
    C. reporters  
    D. stringers

    A. usually work in the office          
    B. decide which pictures to use
    C. have the ability to discover news

    3. The passage is mainly written to________.

    A. introduce different posts and duties of journalists
    B. describe the characters of journalists
    C. explain how the news is collected            
    D. show how reporters work

         Are you ready to experience life as it may be in the future?Here are some interesting points to learn
    about the future.
         Artificial intelligence:Many years down the road humans  might not even be recognizable because
    artificial intelligence  (also known as AI) will have combined with our natural  states.Scientists are learning more about the human brain every day, and they are working toward making smart robots we can use to
    help us.Some people say that nanobots-supertiny robots-may help us in invisible (看不见的) ways in the
    future.They say they will be everywhere, outnumbering humans many times over!
          Nanotechnology:This is the ability to make tools and  helpful robots that are a billion times smaller
    than we can see.Scientists have already made many nanosized tools that they can use.When this science
    is improved and becomes more common and affordable, it will change everything.
          Braintocomputer communication:Nanocomputers will probably be linked to your thoughts, voice and
    emotions, and be able to react to your needs.In the future people will rely on wireless technology and
    everyone and everything  will be linked.Your brain will be able to receive information  from computers
    to fill your head with knowledge or teach you new things.When you want to learn a new skateboarding
    trick or dance move, nanocomputers will send the information to your brain and allow your body to use
    the tips and apply them-no studying involved!
          Virtual reality:You already love virtualreality games-they make imaginary worlds in which you can
    play. But what if it allows you to have a cool new school?Virtual worlds are being created so
    computergenerated environments will allow you to learn school lessons with your teacher and your
    friends seemingly present without actually being there.Technology will give you a 3D image and link it to
    your brain in a way that makes you actually feel as if you were there.

    1. The passage mainly introduces________.

    A. the use of robots in the future    
    B. the importance of science and technology
    C. some technology in the future    
    D. some ways to improve communication

    2. What can we conclude from the second paragraph?

    A. The number of robots is greater than the number of humans.
    B. AI will bring about great changes to people's lives.
    C. Nanobots will take the place of humans in some years.
    D. Scientists won't stop learning about the human brain until AI is widely used.

    3. The fourth paragraph introduces a new way of________.

    A. delivering and getting information    
    B. school education
    C. exercising                       
    D. entertaining

    4. We can most probably read this passage in________.

    Never shall I forget the first English lesson giving by Miss Liu. One Monday morning, when
    she entered the classroom, we found out that she was a young and beautiful lady. Then she
    introduced her and said they shouldn’t call her Teacher Liu but Miss Liu. Later, she asked us
    to go to the blackboard and said something about ourselves with English in turn. When it was my
    turn, I felt too shy that I didn’t dare to say anything before the class. She went up to me and
