When a computer works on a group of programs, it can get very hot. Cooling the computer can cost a lot. So
some scientists wonder what would happen if the heat from the computer could be used.
Large Internet companies such as Google and Microsoft have thousands of computers. As these computers deal
with information, they produce lots of heat, so they need huge cooling systems. These systems send the heat into the
air.
A company in Holland thinks paying to make the computers work and then paying again to cool them are a waste
of energy. So the company developed a special device—the e-Radiator.
Boaz Leupe, head of the company, says that e-Radiator works as a heating system and saves money. He explains
that the energy is used twice—once to heat the home and once to cool the computer and that the users don’t have to
pay to cool their computers.
Five homeowners in Holland are testing the heating system in their homes.
"We pay for the computer using, so, in that way, homeowners get heating for free," Boaz says. Jan Visser is one
of the homeowners. "If you use the computer more, the e-Radiator producers more heat," he says, "It cannot provide
enough heat if you don't use your computer often." But he is ready to try it. It's a great help for his family.
The company says e-Radiators produce heat temperatures of up to 55℃. It says the system could save its users
about $440 a year.
( ) 49. Before the e-Radiator appears, usually the heat of a computer ______.
A. is sent into the air
B. helps the five homeowners
C. is used twice
D. makes the computer work better
( ) 50. Why did the company invent the e-Radiator?
A. To earn a lot of money.
B. Because it didn't want to pollute the air.
C. To save energy.
D. Because it needed to work with Google.
( ) 51. What does Boaz think of the e-Radiator?
A. Useless.
B. Expensive.
C. Helpful.
D. Funny.
( ) 52.The best title of the passage may be _____.
A. An Environmental Problem
B. A New Way to Heat Homes
C. Future Computers
D. Energy to Be Wasted

This painting is called The Fighting Temeraire. Temeraire is the name of the
big, old sailing ship that you can see on the left of the picture. People chose this
picture to be the greatest painting in Britain.
J. M. W. Turner painted it in 1839. It shows the old sailing ship, the Temeraire,
on the River Thames near London. There's a small tugboat (拖船) pulling the old
5
公众号：好学熊资料库 超全学习资料库
ship. It's in fact taking the Temeraire on its last journey. The old ship is going to the breaker's yard. In the background
we can see the sun setting.
The picture, however, is more than just a painting of two boats in the evening. The artist wanted to show the end of
an era (时代). The time of the beautiful, old sailing ships is coming to an end. That's why we see this happening at
sunset. In the little, brown tugboat we can see the new industrial era starting. The tugboat is small and dark and it's
making a lot of smoke, but it’s very strong, because it's pulling the much bigger ship.
The painting shows a real event. Turner watched the Temeraire taking its last journey up the Thames, but he
changed some of the details. He painted the old ship white and gold so that it looks like a ghost. In fact, the real ship
was black and yellow. We also see the sun setting behind the ship, but in fact, the ship travelled towards the sunset.
However, Turner wanted to show the sun setting on the time of the beautiful old sailing ships.
Turner painted The Fighting Temeraire when he was quite old, so perhaps he wanted to show the sun setting on
his own life, too. He loved the painting and he never sold it. You can see it today in the National Gallery in London.
( ) 53. The Fighting Temeraire _______.
A. is the name of a big sailing ship
B. was thought the best painting in Britain
C. shows two nice new ships
D. was painted by a famous young artist
( ) 54. The old ship was pulled to the yard ______.
A. to be painted new
B. to be repaired
C. to be broken up
D. to be sold
( ) 55. What does the tugboat stand for according to the passage?
A. The new industrial era.
B. The beautiful old era.
C. The painter’s own life.
D. The white and gold ghost.
( ) 56. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. The color of the real sailing ship was white and gold.
B. In the painting the sailing ship was going towards the sunset.
C. Finally Turner sold this painting because he didn’t like it.
D. Today the painting is kept in the National Gallery in London.

People often ask which is the most difficult language to learn, and it is not easy to answer because there are many
things to take into consideration. Firstly, in a first language the differences are unimportant as people learn their
mother tongue naturally, so the question of how hard a language is to learn is only relevant when learning a second
language.
A native speaker of Spanish, for example, will find Portuguese (葡萄牙语) much easier to learn than a native
speaker of Chinese, for example, because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish, while Chinese is very different, so
one’s first language can affect learning a second language. The greater the differences between the second language
and our first, the harder it will be for most people to learn. Many people answer that Chinese is the hardest language to
learn, possibly influenced by the thought of learning the Chinese writing system, and the pronunciation of Chinese
does appear to be very difficult for many foreign learners. However, for Japanese speakers, who already use Chinese
characters in their own language, learning writing will be less difficult than for speakers of languages using the
Roman alphabet (字母).
Some people seem to learn languages easily, while others find it very difficult. Teachers and the circumstances
(环境) in which the language is learned also play an important role, as well as each learner's purpose for learning. If
people learn a language because they need to use it in work, they often learn it faster than people studying a language
that has no direct use in their daily life.
No language is easy to learn well, though languages which are related to our first language are easier. Learning a
completely different writing system is a huge challenge, but that does not necessarily make a language more difficult
6
公众号：好学熊资料库 超全学习资料库
than another. In the end, it is impossible to say that there is one language that is the most difficult language in the
world.
( ) 57. What does the underlined word "relevant" in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Difficult.
B. Meaningful.
C. Necessary.
D. Possible.
( ) 58. What is the example of Portuguese and Chinese in Paragraph 2 used to prove (证明)?
A. Chinese is harder to learn than Portuguese.
B. Portuguese and Chinese are very different.
C. Portuguese is very easy for foreigners to learn.
D. One's first language can affect learning a second language.
( ) 59. Why do many people think Chinese is hard to learn?
A. Its writing system is strange.
B. Its pronunciation is old-fashioned.
C. Its characters are difficult to understand.
D. It has many differences from many other languages.
( ) 60. What can we learn from the text?
A. Using a language daily will make it quick to learn.
B. Difficult languages are not as popular as simple ones.
C. The writing system is harder than the pronunciation.
D. A second language is easier than we think.

Dear Jack,
I'm very glad that you are interested in my new invention. It is a super schoolbag. And it is different from a
traditional one.
It is as small as an English textbook. And it is light and easy to carry. Besides, instead of petrol,
it only uses solar power to work, so it won't produce any pollution.
It has many functions. First of all, I can put some books in my super schoolbag, and it can
communicate with me. It can also sing songs and dance. What's more, the schoolbag can remind me
to get up and go to bed on time. I will add two wheels to it so that I can carry it more conveniently.
I'm sure that you will like the super schoolbag.
Yours,
