Thomas Edison was one of ten said to be the greatest genius of his age. There are only a few men in all of the history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be happy only because someone said he was a genius. “There is no such thing as genius, ” Edison said. He said that what people called genius was mostly hard work. But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. Nature, he often said, is full of secrets.He tried to understand them; then, he tried to learn what could usefully be done with them. Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people will do almost any-thing instead of the difficult work of thinking,especially if they do not thi-nk very often.But he knew,too,that thinking can give men enjoyment and pleasure.

Edison could not understand how anyone could be uninterested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what ideas he had about life. “Work,” he answered. “Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.

A Tour City —— Pompeii Every year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii ( 庞贝 , 意大利那不勒斯附近一座古城 ), Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for －its stadium ( 运动场 ) and theatre, its shops and restaurants. The tourists do not, however, see Pompeii’s people. They do not see them because Po -mpeii has no people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2000 years. Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22,000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius ( 维苏威火山 ) , a grass-covered volcano ( 火山 ). Mount Vesuvius had not erupted ( 爆发 ) for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not. In August of AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain exploded, and a huge black cloud rose into the air.Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii was buried ( 埋藏 ) under 20 feet of stones and ashes. Almot all ot its people were dead.

For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash. Then, in the year 1861, an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover ( 发现 ) Pompeii. Slowly, carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79. There were streets and fount -ains,houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20,000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all, there were everyday objects, which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue colour in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine. They liked bread, too; metal bread pans were in even bakery ( 面包房 ). In one bakery there were 81 round, flat loaves of bread － a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that women liked to wear eye-makeup ( 眼部化装品 ).

Ginseppe has died, but his work continues. One-fourth has not been un-covered yet. Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii.

1. Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii each year?A. To visit the volcano.B. To shop and eat there.C. To watch sports and plays.D. To see how Pompeiians lived.2. Why had so many Pompeiians remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius?A. The city nearby offered all kinds of fun.B. The area produced the finest wine in Italy. C. Few people expected the volcano erupt again.D. The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass.

3. Why did the city uncovered look almost the same as it had looked in AD 79?

A. Because Ginseppe and his men dug it slowly and carefully.B. Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.C. Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.D. Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.4.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “exploded” in the third pa

ragraph?A. 爆炸 B. 震动 C. 倒塌 D. 开裂5. What do we know about the Pompeiians who lived 2000 years ago?A. They lived more or less the same as Italians now do.B. They liked women wearing all kings of makeup.C. They enjoyed a lazy life with drinking and eating.D. They went back to Pompeii after the eruption in AD 79.

What do you usually use your cell-phone for? Calling friends or sending them text messages? As technology develops, nowadays cellphones can do much more than that. They have become an all-in-one device. A typical example is Apple’s phone. The touch-screen cell-phone plays music, connects to the Web, sends email and takes photos. More than 1 million Apple’s Phones have been sold since it was launched ( 发售 ) in June. “Today’s young people enjoy using all kinds of digital functions, such as those of a music player, a camera and even a computer, const -antly. An all-in-one device is easy to carry. That is the goal of develo -ping a technology to make our lives more convenient, simple and rel -axed,” said Professor Ding Shouqian at Nankai University.

However, the all-in-one cellphones come with some problems. Users have complained that they are too complicated to use, and that their battery life is too short. Cellphone producers say that they are working hard to make their phones even better. It’s very convenient to use it “We are trying to make the cellphones in a way that people can quickly move from phoning to taking pictures to listening to music,” said Alastair Curtis, Nokia’s chief designer. “If you look at the No -kia 3250 model, it has a twisting ( 转动 ) bottom. So you twist it half a turn, and it’s in camera mode. You twist it another 90 degrees, the alpha-numeric ( 字母和数字的 ) keys have disappeared and the music keys are there.” Japanese companies such as Toshiba and Fujitsu are also working to develop a new ba -ttery for mobile phone. If all the problems are solved in the future, all-in-one phones will change our lives for the better.

I. 最近你班将举行一场题 为 Life in the future 的讨论 会 , 请根据以下要点 , 写一篇一百词左右的发言稿。1. 随着医学的发展 , 人类的平均寿命将会达到 120岁。2. 由于新能源的出现 , 污染问题将得到控制。3. 人们的日常生活也将有很大的变化。如 : 机器人可 以为你做家务 ; 椅子的颜色也能够随着你所穿的衣 服而改变 ; 手机可以带在手腕 (wrist) 上 , 通话时可以 看到对方 ; 可以乘坐新型的电梯 (elevator)进入太空 度假。

In the future, man’s life will be very different from that of today. First, with the development of medicine, on the average, a person will live to the age of about 120. Second, because of the discovery of new energy, the environment --al pollution will be under control. Third, people’s daily life will change greatly, too. For example, robots will do all your housework for you;your chair will change its color to match what you’re wearing; you can also put your mobile phone around your wrist and can see the caller while speak -ing;you even can take a new elevator into space for your holidays.

II. 根据以下内容 , 通过合理想象 , 用英语写一篇短文

来展望未来科技新生活。词数 : 100 字左右1. 有些人可以到月亮上度假。2. 有些科学家可能在海底生活。3. 每家都有可视电话 (view phone) , 通过可视电话

可 以体检或购物。4. 孩子可以在家通过电视和广播接受教育。5. 机器人为你做家务。

Sometimes I dream about life in the future. What will it be like?Perhaps some people will go to the moon for a holiday, and some scientists will live under the sea. Maybe we will have vide -ophones in every home.We can have a medical examination or do some shopping without leaving our homes. And I’m sure there’ll be more educational programs on the radio or TV, so perhaps some children won’t need to go to school every day. They’ll study at home. No people like doing housework. Maybe in the future each family will have a robot. Every day we can tell the robot whatto do – shopping, housework and so on. I believe the dream will come true some day.
