21、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 cal

22、led 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 enjoye

23、d thinking. He knew that most people will do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think 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

24、 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.41. Which

25、of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Edison invented the electric light.B. Many other people have changed Edisons life.C. Edison has changed the life of many other people. D.

Edison made 100 inventions in his lifeC. Edison was able to live and work for 100 years D. People of his time were rea

28、dy to give Edison another 100 years workBSpecial Bridges Help Animals Cross the Road- Reported by Sheila CarrickWhy did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side.Most people know this joke. But recently, some people have been much more concerned with how the grizzly bear and mountain lion

29、 can cross the road. Millions of animals die each year on U.S. roads, the Federal Highway Administration reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U.S. today. The main reason? Road kill. "Ecopassages" may help animals cross the road without being hit by

30、cars. They are paths both over and under roads. "These ecopassages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid human conflicts," said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Conservation Society. But do animals actually use the ecopassages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona Univ

31、ersity found foot marks left by mountain lions on an ecopassage that went under a highway. This showed that the lion used the passage. Builders of some ecopassages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals as di

32、fferent as salamanders and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses. The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might see an animal overpass!45. The writer uses the example of “ocelots” to show that_.A. wild animals have become more da

33、ngerousB. the driving conditions have improved greatlyC. the measure for protecting wildlife fails to workD. an increasing number of animals are killed in road accidents 46. From the news story, we know an ecopassage is_.A. an underground path for cars         

34、;        B. a fence built for the safety of the areaC. a bridge for animals to get over a river    D. a pass for animals to cross the road 47. When the writer says that animals seem “to be catching on”, he means_.A. animals begin to realize the dange

35、rs on the road   B. animals begin to learn to use ecopassages     C. animals are crossing the road in groups         D. animals are increasing in number48. The writer asks visitors and drivers to look around when traveling because

36、_.A. wild animals may attack cars         Bwild animals may jam the roadC. they may see wild animals in the park    D. they may see wild animals on ecopassages CWhat will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question, you h

37、ave not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology(生物技术). With the help of new medicine, the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents, murder and war. Today's leading killers, such as heart diseases, cancer, and aging itself

38、, will become distant memory. In discussion of technological changes, the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells(细胞) are the basic

39、units of all living things, and until recently, scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells, such as those of brain cells, would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 21

40、00, medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so, people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs(器官). The medicine, made up of the basic building materials of life, will build new brain cells, heart cells, and so on-in much the same way our bodies make new skin

41、 cells to take the place of old ones.

42、caused by _.A. diseases and aging B. accidents and warC. accidents and aging D. heart diseases and war50. In the author's opinion, today's most important advance in technology lies in _.A. medicine B. the internet C. brain cells D. human organs51. Humans may live longer in the future because
