It is also made out of software.If you come to visit, youll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electron
11、ic PIN (个人身份号码) to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When its dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your fa
12、vorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings.Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console (控制
13、台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you.The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My
14、house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.I believe that ten years from now，most new homes will have the systems that Ive put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones Ive put in today.I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas w

19、ha is definitely one of those. Evidence has shown that a large group of piranhas can absolutely eat a herd of large animals crossing the river, leaving only bones. This fish lives in the freshwater streams of South America, and they can smell the blood from far away and launch attacks swiftly. It is
20、 said that they are only dangerous to humans if the water volumes are less and lower.Anacondas (水蟒）This South American monster of a creature often appears in the films or your nightmares! They have weighed over 230 kilograms. It is often considered to be the biggest snake in the world. You certainly
21、 dont want to get caught alone with this snake due to its method of attacking and killing its victim. It is indeed a remarkably different brand of snake type as it regularly coils (缠绕) around all over its target, increasing the pressure until eventually its victim dies. Its jaws are powered by large
22、 muscles that produce enough power for its over 100 sharp teeth to pass through the thick skin of an crocodile. They dont have poison.

24、ched it directly. Its also been noted that chicken and dogs have died by connecting things on which a golden poison frog had wandered!

29、to take the center stage.Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-old Chinese architect, won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prizewhich is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architectureon February 28. He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.Wang serves as head of t
30、he Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art (CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities. Man
31、y visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types. The curves(曲线) of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to use traditional tech
32、niques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements.Wangs works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of traditions. Through such a balance, he had creat
33、ed a new type of Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize.Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums. “That is only evidence that traditions once existed,” he said.“Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think
34、tradition means old things from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being created,” he said.“Today, many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions. Many people tend to talk about
35、traditions without knowing what they really are,” said Wang.The study of traditions should be combined with practice. Otherwise, the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.1、What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most?AIts hilly environment.BIts large size.CIts
36、unique style.DIts diverse functions.2、What made Wangs architectural design a success?AThe mixture of different shapes.BThe balance of East and West.CThe use of popular techniques.DThe harmony of old and new.3、What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang?ASpread them to the world.BPre

38、ce theyve lost the element of surprise.This psychological trickery has been called iCow,which is actually not as strange as it sounds.The eye-like patterns on butterfly wings are known to prevent preying birds and woodcutters in Indian forests wear masks on the backs of their heads when working to d
39、iscourage hungry tigers.The inspiration for the iCow strategy came while Jordan was based in a village in Botswana,when two lionesses were killed by local farmers to revenge their cattles death.The African lion is a vulnerable species,with numbers dropping from over 100,000 in the 1990s to about 30,
40、000 today.Much of that decline is due to these kinds of revengeful killings because farmers have no effective strategies for protecting their herds.Lions are hunters that like to attack by surprise.They move slowly,quietly,and carefully to their prey,get close,and jump on them unseen,he said.When Jo
41、rdan was watching a lion follow an antelope one day,he noticed the lion gave up the hunt once the antelope spotted it.So he joined one of the local farmers on a 10-week trial study,painting eyes on one-third of a herd of 62 cattle. When the cattle returned each night,they took a head count to see ho
42、w many had survived.Only three cows were killed by lions during this period-all without the painted eyes on their behinds.And all the painted cows survived. However,Jordan warned that so far this is just a promising idea.He is now back in Botswana for a more ambitious study,equipped with GPS devices
43、 to better monitor the movement of predators（捕食者）and prey.1、The iCow strategy is designed to .Akill the lions Bscare off PredatorsCidentify cattle Dhave fun2、When hunting,lions like to .Agive up halfway Bhesitate to take actionCchase their prey steadily Dlaunch surprising attacks3、What does the unde

45、kely to bring great benefit.DThe farmers will continue to take their revenge on the lions.25（10分）Laptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also
46、 connect students to their classrooms.Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $ 10 million computer program
47、 at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to “peak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families.
