For Jennifer, the word ceramics(制陶术)usually reminded her about pottery(陶器). Today as she listened to Dr. Kramer, the word took on a new sense. “Your aunt has broken the bone in her hip, Jennifer. Age has taken its tax on her bone structure, so we need to replace her hip with a new one made out of ceramics and metal. I’ve described the program to your aunt, and now she must decide if she wants to undergo surgery(接受手术).”Jennifer was unsettled by Dr. Kramer’s advice. However, her mind was set at ease when she heard her aunt say, “A ceramic hip is no big deal, Jennifer! Why, there are people who've lost arms and legs and now have artificial(人造的)limbs(肢)that work nearly as well as the natural ones. There are artificial hearts for people whose hearts have failed to work properly. All these advances offer new life for folks like me.”“Aunt Nancy, you sound like a medical advertisement,” Jennifer interrupted. “From now on, I’ll call you my robot-aunt!” “I like that!” “Aunt Nancy said,”Never doubt that your robot-aunt would prefer having a natural hip, but if it' s a choice between a useless hip and a useful one, then I'll take the artificial one.

In many developing countries, it is difficult to keep food cool. Most areas do not have electricity to operate the devices, called refrigerators, to keep food cold. Within days, food often spoils or becomes unsafe to eat. This can cause disease and loss of money for farmers. However, in Nigeria, one man is working to change this.

Mohammed Bah Abba, a teacher, invented a cooling device using two round containers made of clay. Mr. Abba' s invention is called a Pot-in-Pot Preservation Cooling System. A small spot is placed inside a larger one. The space between the two pots is filled with wet sand. The inner pot can be filled with fruit, vegetables of drinks. A wet cloth covers the whole cooling system. The device keeps some foods fresh for several weeks.

Food stored in the small pot is kept from spoiling through a simple evaporation process(过程). Water in the sand between the two pots evaporates through the surface of the larger pot where drier outside air is moving. The evaporation process causes a drop in temperature of several degrees. This cools the inner container and helps destroy harmful bacteria found in food.

Mr. Abba started producing his cooling device in 1997. Since then, he has given more than 20,000 devices to people in villages in Nigeria. He expects that within five years, people all over the country will be using his invention. Mr. Abba also hopes to export his Pot-in-Pot cooling system to other hot, dry nations facing similar problems.

The Rolex Watch Company of Switzerland has also recognized the value of this cooling system. Two years ago, Mr. Abba received the Rolex Award(奖赏)for Enterprise. This award is given every two years. It awards people trying to develop projects aimed at improving human knowledge and well-being. Winners receive financial assistance to help develop their projects.

60. We can conclude from the passage that Mr. Abba_______.

A. altogether invented 20,000 devices

B. didn't spend much money on his invention

C. has exported his invention to many hot, dry countries

D. has helped many Nigerian villagers in many different ways

61. According to the passage, the device invented by Mr Abba_______.

A. is being used by many African villagers to keep food from going bad

B. is popular with those who cannot afford to buy cool food

C. is a device, called a refrigerator, to keep food cold

D. is a cooling system which received an award immediately after it was invented

62. The word“evaporate”in the third paragraph can be replaced by_______.

A. disappear   B. boil         C. flow       D. pour

63. Which of the following is inferred from the passage?

A. The cooling system invented by Mr. Abba is selling well in the world market.

B. Sooner or later Mr. Abba will be able to export his invention to some other countries.

C. Now that Mr. Abba has received the award, the whole country of Nigeria will be using the cooling system soon.

D. Every two years, Mr. Abba will receive money from the Rolex Watch Company of Switzerland.

Louis“Satchmo” Armstrong (1900~1971 ), an African-American musician, is one of the most important figures in the history of jazz. In the 1920s, this trumpeter, singer and bandleader began exploring the boundaries(分界)of jazz technique and style. Masters of jazz today admit their debt to this pioneer.

Armstrong' s gift was obvious from the start of his career. His earliest recordings – first with a band led by his former teacher, Joe“ King” Oliver, and then with his own band – earned Armstrong international fame for technical originality(独创性). He freed his playing from the ordinary rhythms of early jazz by creating musical phrases that seemed to oppose the pulse of a song, only to combine them in the place later. His deep and rough voice became as special as his comet(短号)playing, especially in his scat performances. Scat is a singing style in which meaningless syllables(音节)are repeated without preparation. Armstrong’s scat was among the earliest ever recorded.

By 1930,Armstrong had turned to more commercial, less experimental jazz. Some musicians criticized(批评)him for this. But others insisted that the real power of Armstrong's art lay in its grace and sensitivity, fine qualities of the heart which remained in his music.

In the following years, Armstrong traveled around the world as the leading“goodwill ambassador(大使) ”of American jazz music. The gentleness and great attraction of “Satchmo” filled his music and made him one of the world's most beloved performers for over forty years.

64. Which of the following best tells what this passage is about?

A. Armstrong' s personal attraction.

B. Armstrong' s best work.

C. A praise for Armstrong's contribution to jazz.

D. A comparison of Armstrong's music with that of earlier musicians.

65. Why was“Satchmo”criticized by some of his workmates in the 1930s?

A. For making fewer recordings.      B. For losing interest in music.

C. For giving up his scat performances.   D. For turning his attention away from making changes.

66. Which of the following is not mentioned as one of the reasons for Armstrong's success?

A. His technical originality.          B. His personality.

C. His early experiences in“King”Oliver' s band. D. His recordings were the first ever made.

67. According to the author, what made Armstrong the“ goodwill ambassador”of American jazz music ?

A. His world travels.          B. His attraction and sensitivity.

C. His seat singing.          D. His preference for commercial, less experimental jazz.

D

The oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids. They have stood for nearly 5,000 years, and it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet. There are over eighty of them scattered along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids. The most famous of these are the“Step” pyramid and the“ Bent” pyramid.

Some of the pyramids still look as much alike as they must have been when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modern buildings. The dry climate of Egypt has helped to keep the pyramids in good condition, and their very shape has made them less likely to fall into ruin. These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last forever.

The “Step”pyramid had to be on the west side of the Nile, the side on which the sun set. This was for spiritual reasons. It also had to stand well above the level of the river to protect it against the regular floods. It could not be too far from the Nile, however, as the stones to build it needed to be carried in boats down the river to the nearest point. Water transport was, of course, much easier than land transport. The builders also had to find a rock base, which was not likely to crack under the great weight of the pyramid. Finally, it had to be near the capital, or better still, near the king' s palace so that he could visit it easily to personally check the progress being made on the final resting place for his body.

8. According to the passage, the“Step”pyramid_______.

A. is unlikely to fall into ruin in the near future    B. was built on the sands along the Nile

C. is one that was built later than the true pyramids  D. is the most famous of the true pyramids

69. The most important reason why some pyramids remain in good condition is that______.

A. people have taken care of them     B. it doesn’t rain often in Egypt

C. they were well designed        D. the government has protected them from damage

70. Most of the damage to the pyramids has been caused by_______.

A. the regular floods           B. the dry climate of Egypt

C. people searching for gold        D. people in search of building materials

71. The Egyptians built the pyramids along the banks of the Nile because_______.

A. they believed in their god

B. it was difficult to find a large rock base far from the Nile

C. the river helped a lot in the transport of building materials

D. it was not easy to choose a suitable place for the pyramids

Text 10    Barbara Herrera is my best friend. We’re both from Chicago, but now I live in San Francisco and Herrera lives in Atlanta. We don’ t see each other very often, but we’re in touch all the time. I often write to Herrera and tell her about all the things that are happening at the Ajax Company. I’m the office manager there. And she often writes to me about her work at the Valley Hospital. She’s a doctor there.

          We talk on the phone once a week, either on Saturday or Sunday morning. There are also other ways we communicate with each other. Sometimes I call her on her car phone, or we send e-mail to each other.

       We’re really lucky. In this new age of communication, there are so many ways we can keep in touch with each other. We live in different cities on different coasts, but we’re in touch all the time.
