China’s unbelievable high-speed rail network
At the beginning of the 21st century China had no high-speed railways. Slow,
crowded and often uncomfortable trains ran across this vast country, with low average
speeds making journeys such as Shanghai-Beijing a test of travel.
Today, it’s a completely different picture. With 37,900 kilometers of lines,
linking all of its major big cities. China has the world’s largest work of high-speed
railways. Half of that total has been completed in the last five years alone, with
a further 3,700 kilometers due to open in the coming months of 2021. The network
is expected to double in length again, to 70,000 kilometers, by 2035.
1. How were the trains in China at the beginning of the 21st century?
A. Fast.
B. Comfortable.
C. Crowded.
2. How many kilometers of lines are due to open in the coming months of 2021?

B. 37,900.
C. 70,000.

Can a green machine help the world’s poorest kids learn better? Nicholas
Negroponte thinks so. He and his team of scientists have invented a new type of
computer. As a result, many children who live in poverty (贫穷) will have their own
laptop computers!
Negroponte works at a university. He started a group called OneLaptopPerChild
(OLPC). The people at OLPCdon’t work for money. They work to help children learn.
OLPC makes computers that don’t cost a lot. Then they sell the machines to
governments of countries that have many people live in poverty. The governments then
give the computes to kids for free.
The XO Laptop computers are made for school-aged children in developing nations.
Many of these children live in faraway areas and go to schools with classrooms. In
order to work, the laptops have to be lasting and student-friendly.
The machines have many fun characters like a built-in video camera, voice
recording, and games. The WiFi lets students share information on the Web and read
e-books. They also can make music and chat with friends.
Another great character is that it can last for a long time. It can be hand charged
and also can be recharged by connecting to a solar panel. Because of these characters
the XO laptops make learning fun while helping the environment.
The computers have a colorful name—“the green machine”. Negroponte thinks
they could make a difference in the lives of millions of kids. He says, “Every
problem you can think of—poverty, peace, the environment—is solved with
education.”
OLPC plans to give out over ten million computers in the next few years. Kids
in Thailand, Nigeria, Brazil, and Argentina will get most of them. China and Egypt
also want to take part in the program. After that, Negroponte hopes to sell computers
to other countries with high poverty.
6. Negroponte thinks his laptop computers will help the world’s poorest kids to
________.
A. work at home
B. go to school on time
C. learn better
7. What can we know about the people at OLPC according to Paragraph 2?
A. They work for money.
B. They give computers to kids for free.
C. They sell computers to governments with many people living in poverty.
8. Why do XO laptops make learning fun while helping the environment?
A. Because they are lasting and student-friendly.
B. Because they are made for school-aged children.
C. Because they have a colorful name.
9. What does the underlined word “charged” mean in Chinese?
A. 携带
B. 充电
C. 使用
10. Who will get most of the computers in the next few years?
A. Kids in Thailand.
B. Kids in China.

Dogs might have the latest tools in the fight against cancer (癌症); their noses!
Researchers at California’s PineStreetFoundation(PSF) say they have trained five
dogs to smell cancer on a prison’s breath. This could be exciting news.
A dog’s sense of smell may be 10,000 to 100,000 times stronger than ours. But
can dogs really smell illness? PSFresearcher Michael McCulloch says yes. “We were
very surprised by how exact they were,” he said. “They were telling who had cancer,
and they were also saying who didn’t.”
Dogs in the Pine Street Foundation test were trained to sit when they smelled
cancer. How well did they perform? Take a look at this chart to find out.
Breath Sample
Number of Times the Dogs
Number of Times the Dogs

McCulloch and his team asked four healthy people and one with cancer to blow
into plastic tubes (塑料管). Special materials in the tubes kept the things of each
breath. The tubes were then placed one yard apart. Finally, the dogs were allowed
to smell the tubes. Each dog had been trained for three weeks to sit when it smelled
cancer. Ninety-nine percent of the time, the dug sat next to the tubes blown into
by patients with lung cancer. The dogs were right 88 percent of the time about breast
cancer.
No lab test for cancer has given more correct results than this test. The results
are so amazing that many experts question the dogs’ smelling power. They wonder
if there were other reasons why the dogs did so well. For example, they thought the
way the dog trainers behaved could have influenced how the dogs acted. However, most
experts agree that this study is important. The information could help scientists
create a simple breath test for cancer in the future. Once again, humans may be
getting a helping paw or nose—from their best animal friends.
11. What’s the latest tool a dog might have in the fight against cancer?
A. Tooth.
B. Nose.
C. Ear.
12. What happened first in the Pine Street Foundation test?
A. The dogs were trained.
B. The tubes were placed one yard
apart.
C. The dogs smelled the tubes.
13. What was a dog supposed to do when it smelled cancer?
A. Smell again.
B. Turn around.
C. Sit down.
14. Look at the chart. How many times did the dogs keep standing when they smelled
the breath from healthy persons?
A. Less than 10 times.
B. Almost 600 times.
C. About 700
times.
15. Why do many experts question the dog’s smelling power?
A. Because no lab test for cancer has given more correct results.
B. Because the dog trainers influenced how the dogs acted.
C. Because they don’t think this study is important.

What do you do with your rubbish? Throw it out? You don’t know what you’re
missing! Look closely at the two figures on your left. They were made from things
most people throw away. The figures were made from used bottle caps. Those two
bottle-cap figures were exhibited (展示) in a museum.
Folk art is art made by common people who have not been trained as artists. Their
work is often based on traditions in their culture. Fine art, on the other hand,
is usually made by people who have had training in art. Works of fine art are valued
for their artistic beauty. They are supposed to be looked at but not used. Works
of folk art, however, are often made for everyday use.
There were more than 800 pieces of folk art from nearly 50 countries in the
exhibition. All of the pieces were made from used metal, wood, cloth, and plastic.
The artists come from many different cultures. Still, they all share one thing. They
