For example, they are being developed to work in nuclear power center, deep under the oceans and in outer space.John Marrit, a psychologist(心理學家) in Williamsburg Massachusetts, helped develop the new machine. This is how they work. A machine is placed in an area far away from the person who operates it. The person wears special hard hat with television screens and sound equipment. The screens and sound equipment let the person see and hear exactly what the machine is seeing and hearing. Mr. Marrit says this gives the person the feeling of being in the same place as the machine. The idea, he says, is being there without going there. The person uses an electronic control to make the machine move. The machine copies the persons movements exactly. If the person raises his right arm, the machine raises the right arm, too. This means an expert can do a dangerous job while staying in the safe place. For example, a person can direct the machine to destroy a bomb without going near the bomb himself.1. The new kind of machine being introduced in the passage is _.A. in existence           B. only an ideaC. being tried out          D. being researched and developed2. The machine _.A. follows the persons order      B. is controlled by a computerC. does exactly what the person does   D. is controlled by a television on the persons head3. The difference between such a new machine and a robot is that _.A. the new machine is more difficult to make than a robot       B. the new machine is more difficult to be controlled       C. a robot is controlled by man indirectlyD. a robot cant be used in places too dangerous or faraway【答案與解析】科學家正在開發(fā)一種代替人的機器，這種機器能代替人們從事一些危險的工作。1. D。判斷題。從第1句話Scientists are developing a new kind of machine to take the place of humans 可以看出，既然是正在開發(fā)當中，那肯定還未形成。2. C。語義理解題。從第2段中的The machine copies the persons movements exactly 可以明顯看出為什么選C的原因。A項有一定的干擾性，但這種機器是人通過電控開關控制的，所以應排除。3. A。判斷題。這種機器還在開發(fā)當中，而機器人則有幾十年歷史了，由此可以肯定答案應該選A。*結(jié)束HoneybeesHoneybees can do three kinds of jobs. The honeybee is one of the most unusual insects in the world. Bees are special because they divide up their work. Each bee has a certain job to do. The busiest bee is the worker. Workers build the nest, called a hive. Inside the hive, workers make a honeycomb from wax(蜂蠟). They store honey there for food. Workers are always cleaning and fixing the hive. They even stand at the opening and fan their wings to cool the hive. Worker bees will attack anythingeven peopleto keep their hive safe. Another kind of bee is the drone(雄蜂). Drones are male bees, and their job is to fly with the queen bee and mate with her. After the queen mates, the worker bees drive the drones away. The drones then starve to death. The third kind of bee is the queen. Each hive needs only one queen, and her job is laying eggs. She can lay as many as 2, 000 eggs a day. 1. The bees nest is called a _.

C。細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第3段第3句和第4兩句工蜂總是打掃蜂房，用翅膀扇涼蜂房可推知此題答案為C。4. B。細節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第3段最后一句：工蜂為了保護蜂房的安全會對包括人類在內(nèi)的任何東西進行攻擊。由此可推知此題答案為B。5.

Doctors found that the lungs of the children whose mothers smoked were 8% less developed than the lungs of the children whose mothers did not smoke, and that the children whose mothers smoked developed 20% more cold and breathing diseases than other children later in life.Another recent study found that children had a greater chance of developing lung cancer if their mothers smoked. The study also showed that the danger of lung cancer increased only for sons and not for daughters, and that the fathers smoking did not affect a childs chance of developing lung cancer1.
