A
Many people like to explore the Internet．Exploring the Internet is one of the most important activities of the day．The Internet brings the outside world closer to people's homes．Some people say the world is smaller than before because of the Internet．
What's going on in other countries？How do people live in places far away？Is there a good sports game somewhere？What's life like in the deepest part of the sea？If you want to answer all these questions，just come to the Internet．Of course，people can also learn through reading or listening to the radio．But with the Internet they can learn better and more easily．A
lot of information can be collected at a great speed．
Can we go shopping without leaving home？Can we see a doctor without going to the hospital？Can we study without going to school？Can we draw money without going to the bank？All these things seemed to be impossible，but now have become true．
The Internet helps us to open our eyes． The Internet also helps to open our minds．The Internet often gives us new ideas．In a word，it helps us in many ways．Great changes have taken place in our life since the use of the Internet．
1.What's the main idea of the second paragraph？ ______

Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature．However，whether you are on the mountains，in the waves，or on the grassland，you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment．
Some sports are resource-hungry．Golf，as you may know，eats up not only large areas of countryside，but also tons of water．Besides，all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses（球场）in good condition．This causes major environmental effects．For example，in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain，golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas．
There are many environment-friendly sports．Power walking is one of them that you could take up today．You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes； and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse．Simple and free，power walking can also keep you fit．If you walk regularly，it will be good for your heart and bones．Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious，sleep well and have better weight control．
Whatever sport you take up，you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from reused materials．But the final goal should be"green gyms"．They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers．Members of green gyms play sports outdoors，in the countryside or other open spaces．There is no special requirement for you to start your membership．And best of all，it's free．
5.Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of？ ______

Although most hitchhikers （搭便车的人） are people， passers-by tend to ignore them because they are cautious about giving rides to strangers． But what will they do if they come across a hitchhiking robot？ Will they take it to its destination or will they just leave the helpless machine by the wayside？
That is the answer Canadian professors， David Harris Smith and Frauke Zeller， who study the relationship between humans and technology， are seeking for after they came up with the idea of building a hitchhiking robot．HitchBOT is built with cheap household items． Thanks to a PC tablet， GPS tracker and camera， hitchBOT not only can send its thoughts and pictures
to the general public， but also can answer general questions and keep drivers entertained with small talks． The smart robot is even able to quote interesting facts about the areas it has passed through．
Not surprisingly， many people are doubtful about hitchBOT's ability． Most people think the cute robot will be damaged by someone． Actually， they are all wrong． The robot hitchhiked all the way from Halifax， Nova Scotia，to Victoria， British Columbia， a distance of 3，700 miles． It was first picked up on July 27th by an elderly couple． It not only reached its destination on August 21st， but also had some amazing adventures along the way． It visited national parks， went fishing， went camping， and even attended a wedding where it experienced its first dance and interrupted the bride's speech．
In addition to helping it get to its destination， its Canadian fans have gone out to ensure its safety from covering the robot with a plastic cape （披肩） to help keep it dry to ensuring that it stays healthy with motor oil．
9.Why is the hitchhiking robot built？ ______
A. To find out how people might react to it．
B. To help passers-by reach their destinations．
C. To see if it will give rides to strangers．
D. To entertain drivers on their way．
10.The hitchBOT can do all of the following except ______ ．
A. talking with the driver．
B. dancing with people．
C. answering any question raised．
D. sending its thoughts and pictures．
11.How long did it take the hitchBOT to reach its destination？ ______
A. Over one month．
B. Nearly a month．
C. Two months．
D. One week．
12.What can we learn about the hitchBOT？ ______
A. It was ignored by an elderly couple．
B. It didn't meet with any danger along the way．
C. It will be put into the market quickly．
D. It experienced a long and amazing journey．
D
There is an old Chinese proverb that states “One G eneration plants the trees; another gets the shade,” and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. The relationship between a mother and daughter is sometimes confusing. If close, the relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include a hierarchy(等级) of responsibility and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.
Marina, 27 years old, says, “I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldn’t consider her my best friend. Best friends don’t pay for your wedding. Best friends don’t remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friends don’t tell you ho w wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesn’t mean that the mother and daughter relationship canˈt be very close and satisfying.While some adult relationships are still troubled, many find them to be extremely rewarding. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together.
Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for
better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if for some unfortunate reason they aren’t speaking. The mother and child relationship is closer than any other. There is not an equal relationship. Daughters should not feel responsible fo r their mother’s emotional well-being. It isn’t that they don’t care deeply about their mothers. It’s just that they shouldn’t be burdened with their mother’s well being. The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. Mother always “trumps”(王牌) friend.
13.What does the underlined word “preclude” in Paragraph 1 probably m ean?
A. Differ.
B. Prevent.
C. Benefit.
D. Change.
14.What do we know from the text?
A. The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.
B. A mother’s love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.
C. The mother and daughter relati onship goes beyond best friends’
friendship.
D. Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother.
15.How does the author mainly prove his statements?
A. By listing data.
B. By giving explanations.
C. By quoting sayings.
D. By making examples.
