30、re. Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the west. In Asia, especially in China, Japan and Korea, it is difficult to go to university. Students must first pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it

31、is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result. Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university.The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West. So these ch

32、ildren become “satellite kids”, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kids”.Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kids” problem. Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them,

33、they are often absent from school. To be a “satellite kids” means to grow up in such a country, you know you are different and you cant make friends because you do not speak English well. Also, it means to grow up lonely, because your parents are not here.1According to the passage, parents in _ dont

34、 send their kids abroad.AChina BJapan CKorea DAmerica2“Satellite kids” refer to the Asian kids _.Awithout parents Bliving abroad aloneCwith university education Dnot speaking English3Some Asian immigrant children become “satellite kids” because their parents_.Awant to leave their own country Bwant t

BThe dont often go to school.CThey can make friends easily. DTheir parents can not look after them.5What is the main

36、idea of the passage?AParents feel lonely abroad.BParents want a better education for their kids.CCanadians and Americans kids cant find jobs easily.DKids in foreign counties alone are very in need of care from families.E17、Imagine the situation. You are driving along a desert or on a mountain. You h

37、ave noidea where you are. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device (装置) which uses satellites (卫星) to find the users position(位置). It can find your posi

38、tion to within 20 me ters. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are.GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone.

39、We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your h

40、and, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates (计算) its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They contro

41、l the satellites and make sure they are working well.Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mo bile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate. There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will ne

42、ver be lost again.1According to the passage, with the help of the GPS, people _.Acant be lost in a new cityBcant find their way in different countriesCcan learn about the culture of an unknown placeDcan spend the least time getting to another place2We can learn from the passage that _.Athere are thr

44、ny countries will use the GPS for free.CThe receiver of the GPS contacts at least five of the satellites.DThe GPS will become more and more common in everyday life.5The passage is mainly about_.Athe history of GPS Bthe introduction of GPSCthe shape of GPS Dthe three parts of GPSF18、Your brain contro

45、ls everything you do. It makes it possible for you to think, learn, create and feel; to blink(眨眼) and breathe and for your heart to heat this fantastic control center is your brain. It is so amazing that a famous scientist once called it “the most complex(复杂) thing we have yet discovered in our univ

46、erse”.Can this small grey organ(器官), which weighs less than one and a half kilos, really do so much? Amazingly, your brain contains about 100 billion neurons(神经元) -it would take you over 3 ,000 years to count them all. Believe it or not, the activity in your brain never stops. Your neurons create an

47、d send more messages than all the phones in the world. And although one neuron creates only a little electricity, all your neurons together can produce enough electricity to power a light bulb (灯泡).So exactly how fast does your brain work? Well, imagine this: a bee lands on your foot. Neurons in you

48、r skin send this information to your brain at a speed of more than 240 kilometers per hour. Your brain then uses other neurons to send the message back to your foot to shake the bee off quickly. These neurons can send this information at more than 320 kilometers per hour. No computer has your brains

49、 unbelievable ability to deal with the amount of information coming from your eyes, ears and other sensory organs.But how does your brain allow you to learn things that you will use in the future? The structure (结构) of your brain changes every time you have a new thought, remember or learn something

50、. For example, riding a bike seems impossible at first, but soon you are able to do it. How? As you practice, your brain sends bike riding messages again and again Soon, the actions are learnt and you are able to ride a bike easily from then on.1From the passage we know that neurons_.Areceive messages very slowly Bare only found in your skinCsend messages to your brain Dneed electricity to work2In Paragraph 3, the writer mentions computers to _ .Acompare them with the human brainBshow how fast they h
