21、For generations, people have enjoyed the simple joy of flying a kite. However, kites were not always the toys we think of today.
Kites actually started as instruments of war. The first known kites were flown in China around 3,000 years ago and were used by the Chinese military to send signals, spy on (侦察) enemies, and deliver urgent messages. Kites were also used to measure long distances. One general flew a kite above a town to measure how far his army would have to tunnel underground to go secretly under the city walls. With this information, his army were able to surprise their enemy.
The first kites were practical, not necessarily pretty. But during the Tang Dynasty, people started using lighter materials to make kites. A new focus was put on kites' appearance. By the 1300s, making kites had appeared as an art form, and kites were decorated with colorful pictures. They were flown for enjoyment and celebration of the Chinese New Year. As the years went on, kites became more complicated. Some artists added whistles so the kites could make sounds as they danced among the clouds.
Over time, the tradition of kite flying spread worldwide. It grew in popularity across Southeast Asia North Africa first. When explore Marco Polo returned to Italy, he brought back many stories about kites. These stories and the growing influence of Asian culture helped popularize kites across Europe. From there, knowledge of kites crossed the Atlantic with travelers heading to America.
Since then, kites have become more than just pieces of flying art. They have played a meaningful role in discoveries. Perhaps the best-known use of a kite was in an experiment described by Benjamin Franklin in 1752, which eventually led Franklin to invent the lightning rod (避雷针). Another important use of kites was by the Wright brothers in the early 1900s, which helped them create the world's first successful airplane.
For hundreds of years, kites have played a significant role in human exploration and artistic expression. Even now, kites are still an important part of cultural celebrations. Despite their changing appearance and uses through the ages, kites hold a valued place in human history.

22、ECycling refers to the recycling of electronic items, which are becoming a common problem in American home and throughout the world. The EPA, or Environmental Protection Agency, has actually started a program to help and motivate the recycling of electronics.
To get the program to the regional and neighborhood levels, the EPA directed “Plug-In to eCycling Partners.” These partnerships support electronic reusing programs in individual communities. They provide local governments, retailers and manufacturers with opportunities to reuse and recycle their items. Those who make and offer electronic devices then promote programs and opportunities for consumers to reuse their second-hand electronic products. One of the EPA’s goals is to enlighten customers about why the recycling of electronics is so important. They likewise wish to make eCycling chances easily accessible to specific consumers and their family electronics. According to the EPA, the eCycling program has actually been quite successful. In 2008, the EPA collected 66.5 million pounds of electronic devices through their Plug-In Partners.
Local governments have actually likewise got on board and passed laws intended to handle used electronic devices. Huge corporations have actually introduced eCycling programs at their local retail stores. One seller offers customers small, medium and big boxes for sale, which the customers then load with used electronics and go back to the store. Typically, customers bring their recyclable electronics to a location. When the electronic items are gathered by the EPA (typically this is done by the Partners), they are reused or recycled.
Reused items are repaired and refurbished, and passed on to others as a contribution. You can repair or recondition your very own electronic devices too, extending the life of the items and conserving the energy of making new materials. Reusing electronic devices includes making use of the products and parts of the items. These materials and parts are then made use of to produce another item. This is more efficient than making items from new materials.
Some items that are commonly eCycled consist of televisions, computer monitors, printers, notebook computer, keyboards and cable televisions. Less usual items include copying machines, CD players, voice mail machines, computer hard drives, mobile telephones, remote controls, radios, batteries, telephones, facsimile machines and computer games. Occasionally, electronic items such as microwaves, fans, vacuums, smoke alarms, and toasters are eCycled.
As the eCycling program continues, you or your organization may want to get involved. Check the EPA’s internet site (www.epa.gov) for regional eCycling programs, or for details on how your company can participate. Their website has links to organizations that are taking part in the eCycling program.

23、You are sitting on the desk. A teacher is writing on the blackboard. Kids are yelling in the playground outside. A book falls off the desk next to you. Suddenly, the teacher hands you a pop quiz.
Don’t panic! 【1】 You’re in a “virtual（虚拟的）classroom”. Everything you see and hear is coming to you through a computer-operated display that you’re wearing on your head like a pair of very big glasses. Wearing this kind of virtual-reality equipment, you can find yourself sitting in a classroom, touring a famous museum, wandering across a strange landscape, flying into space, or playing with a cartoon character. 【2】 Virtual-reality equipment that delivers images and sounds directly to your eyes and ears makes these fake worlds seem lifelike.
Unlike the classroom, the technology is real. It’s a type of technology that uses computer programs to imitate real world situation. 【3】 Movie directors and video game producers have been using computers for years to create ever more realistic special effects. Some companies are now building three-dimensional（三维）fantasy worlds in which players, linked by computer networks, appear to meet and go on explorations together.
【4】 They see virtual reality technology as a useful tool for learning more about why people act as they do. It could help psychologists deter identify and come up with solutions for behaviors problems, for example.
“We’ve spent the last 100 years looking for certain laws in how people interact with the real world,” says psychologist Albert. “【5】 This is psychologist’s dream.”
A．You aren’t actually in school.

G．Now, we’ve got a powerful tool that lets us create worlds and see how people perform.
24、Today, the most frightening living shark is the great white, which is over six meters long and bites with a force of two tonnes. Its fossil relative, Megalodon (meaning "big tooth") that lived about 23 to 3.6 million years ago, was over twice the length of a great white shark and had a bite force of more than ten tonnes.
Jack Cooper and his team used a number of mathematical methods to find out the size and proportions(比例)of this monster, by making close comparisons with a variety of living relatives that have certain similarities to Megalodon. He said, “I have always been mad about sharks. Megalodon was actually the very animal that inspired me to pursue palaeontology(古生物学) in the first place when I was just six years old, so I was over the moon to get a chance to study it. This was my dream project.”
Previously the fossil shark, known formally as Otodus megalodon, was only compared with the great white. Jack and his colleagues, for the first time, expanded this analysis to include five modern sharks. “ Megalodon is not a direct ancestor of the great white and is equally related to several modern sharks such as the salmon shark, as well as the great white. We collected detailed measurements of all five to make predictions about Megalodon,”Dr. Pimiento said.
The researchers discovered that the babies of all these modern sharks start out as little adults, and they don’t change in proportion as they get larger. Jack Cooper said, “This means we could simply take the growth curves(生长曲线) of the five modern forms and forecast the overall shape as they get larger and larger--- right up to a body length of 16 meters.”
The results suggest that a 16-meter-long Megalodon likely had a head round 4.65 meters long, a fin about 1.62 meters tall on the back and a tail around 3.85 meters high. The reconstruction of the size of Megalodon’s body parts represents a fundamental step towards a better understanding of this huge extinct shark.
【1】Why is the great white mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A．To remind people to stay away from it.
B．To uncover its close relation with Megalodon.
C．To introduce the researchers' new findings about it.
D．To show Megalodon's giant body and strength by comparison.
【2】What does the underlined phrase"over the moon"in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．A bit hesitant.
B．Very excited.
C．Really stressed.
D．Totally unprepared.
【3】What was special about the new study led by Jack Cooper?
A．It proved the real existence of Megalodon.
B．It was based on data from five types of modern sharks.
C．It was aimed at finding the direct ancestor of the great white.
D．It compared Megalodon with the great white for the first time.
【4】What did the researchers find about Megalodon?
A．Their babies had the same body length as modern baby sharks.
B．Their body proportions changed dramatically during growth.
C．Their fin on the back could be as tall as an adult human.
D．Their bite force was equal to the great white’s.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数为150左右。
Todd was freshman at Marin Luher King Jr. College Preparatory High School. When the other kids noticed he was always wearing the same black pants and blue shirt, Todd had no choice but to endure the arrows of ridicule and laughter shot to him. Although he was hurt, there was little Todd could do. His mother simply couldn't afford to buy him new clothes.
Pansy and Poppy were among the kids who often made ill-intended remarks about Todd’s clothes. But over time they came to the realization that their words felt like bullying and seemed to be slowly crushing Todd’s spirit. Something finally clicked. “I should do something,” Pansy thought to himself. So he and Poppy hatched a plan. They went home and hunted through their own drawers and closets.
The next day at school, they met Todd at their third period class and asked him to come into the hall. Todd was understandably concerned about being called out by the larger boys. “What...do…you want from…me?” Todd stammered, rubbing hands nervously. “We apologize for laughing at you, and we want to give something to you to make it up,” Pansy said softly, a smile blooming on his face. He then handed Todd a bulky bag. Inside were clean shirts and shorts, plus a brand-new pair of New Balance sneakers.
Todd was blown away. He couldn't believe what these used-to-be bullies did. When he held the bag full of clothes, tears flowed like a stream. Before he could utter a “thank you”, Pansy and Poppy went back to the classroom saying that they would meet him in the school canteen.
Todd got much more than a new wardrobe.
Todd’s life has become different.
