Einstein often received invitations to explain his theories at different universities. On these trips, his driver was always the same man called Hans. Hans often said to him. “It is a pleasure to drive a talent like you, Dr Einstein.”
? One evening, on their way to a university, Einstein said, “I’m so tired. I wish I could refuse to give my lecture(讲座) tonight, Hans, but I don’t want to let my audience down.”
“I know what to do,” said Hans. “I can give the lecture for you. You can trust me. I’ve listened to your lecture so many times that I’ve learnt it by heart. No one knows you at this university, so they won’t find out.”
So, they changed places. At the university, Hans was guided to the front of the hall. Einstein took a seat, listened to Hans give his lecture without difficulty, and joined in the applause (掌声) at the end.
However, before Hans left, a man shouted, “I’d like to ask you a question.” He then asked a difficult question and Hans had no idea what he was talking about.
Einstein turned pale. “Oh no! ???__21_? ,” he thought. “Now we’re in trouble.” But Hans just laughed and said, “That’s such an easy question that even my driver can answer it. Hans, please…”
Einstein stood up and answered the question perfectly.
They left the university, with Einstein driving. A little later, Hans offered to drive. “No,” laughed Einstein. “It’s a pleasure to drive a talent like you, Hans.”

Welcome to the 26th century! Cyborg (半机器人) technology is a way of life. People with human brains and artificial (人造的) bodies are everywhere.
This is the future world shown in the film Alita: Battle Angel. US director James Cameron made the film. The movie came out in the Chinese mainland theaters on Feb 22.
The story is based on Japanese manga artist YUkito Kishiro’s popular manga series of the same name. The series was published during the 1990s. The main character is a girl named Alita. She is a cyborg. One day, she wakes up and finds that she has lost her memory. Luckily, a doctor saves her. As she starts her new life, Alita finds she has superhuman abilities. She decides to find the truth. She sets off a journey that leads her through a dark world.
In Cameron’s own words, the movie is “not like any of the films that I’ve done before”. Its visual effects(视觉效果) are especially impressive. The film’s actors used the latest motion-capture(动作捕捉) technology. They wore special suits that record their movements. Later, motion-capture editors use these movements to make special effects. Rosa Salaza plays Alita. She wore a suit with more than 7,000 pieces and layers. It can capture human movements. The model that was used for her face was changed nearly 5,000 times to make it more vivid(生动的).
24. The story tells us that cyborgs have ________.
A. a robot brain B. a human body
C. a man-made body D. half of a human brain
25. Who saves Alita after she wakes up?
A. A cyborg B. A doctor C. A superhero D. A police officer
26. What were used to record the actor’s movements?
A. Computers B. Special suits C. Motion-capture editors D. Cameras
27. The last paragraph mainly tells us _________.
A. how Cameron led the actors
B. why Cameron used motion-capture technology
C. how motion-capture technology is used in this movie
D. who plays Alita and how she acts in the movie
C
Nature’s warnings
When the sky suddenly turns dark and the wind is strong, watch out! A dangerous storm might be coming. Storms are scary. Watch for flashes of lightning. Listen for thunder. If nature sends these warnings, don’t wait for rain. Act right away to keep safe.
At the first flash of lightning, quickly get inside a building or a car. Do not go into a shed(棚) for protection. It is not closed like a building, so it is not safe.
Even after you are indoors, be careful. It is not smart to go near doors and windows. They can blow in or break. A room with no windows is the safest place to be.
Do not wash your hands during a storm. Do not use anything that runs on electricity either. Water and electrical lines are like roads for lightning. Even if you really want to play computer games, don’t! It is better to be bored than to risk getting hurt. Try reading a book instead. Reading is more fun than playing computer games.
If you can’t get to somewhere safe, stay out in the open. You may feel safe under a tree, but that is not a good place to be. Lightning is pulling toward tall poles and trees. Stay down in an open space and cover your ears to protect them. Loud thunder can damage your hearing.
Lightning Strikes
Lightning does not strike people very often. It is not likely that you will ever see that happen. If you do, call 1-2-0. Only trained emergency workers should care for a person who has been hit by lighting.
If you follow these rules, you should stay safe during a storm.
28. From Paragraph 1, we learn that _______.
A. storms are frightening and harmful B. storms often come without warnings
C. people should wait and watch lightning D. people should take action after the storm
29. The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 probably means _______.
A. a building B. a shed C. a room D. a car
30. During a storm you had better ________.
A. use a computer for a while B. listen for thunder by a window
C. leave the room and stay out D. find a closed or an open place
31. If a person is hit by lightning, you should _______.
A. call for emergency help B. stay down in a safe space
C. move him or her to safety D. cover his or her ears quickly
32. The best title for the passage is __________.
A. Training Steps B. Home Rules C. Natural Order D. Storm Safety

Do you find bikes boring? Or growing tired of walking? Now you can “surf” the streets on the new invention from Germany: Scrooser. ______33_______
Its design makes turning easy so it feels like surfing. It can reach 15 mph(25km per hour) which is as fast as a bike. And one charge(充电) can last 25 days! _____34_____ In fact the Scrooser has just been nominated(推荐) for the Green Tec Awards 2013 which gives prizes to people and businesses for eco-friendly inventions.
_______35______ It’s controlled by manpower and electricity. To first get it moving the rider needs to push off with his foot like a scooter. After it reaches 2mph the electricity will take over and control the speed. ________36_______This means that it is OK for people of any age to use.
The maker Jens Thieme described the Scrooser as a “ completely new vehicle(车辆) type”. You can stand while driving like a Scooter. _________37_______The choice is yours.
The company that made Scrooser hopes to bring it to the mass market soon making it available to all of us. Could you be “surfing” to school on a Scrooser soon?
But if you’re feeling lazy you can take a seat while you ride. People can operate the Scrooser easily. It needs less petrol than normal cars. What’s more you don’t need a license to drive it around town. Because it’s powered(提供动力) by electricity it’s good for the environment. It combines a bike and scooter(滑板车) in one! It is a new type of car.
33. _________ 34. __________ 35. _________ 36. __________ 37. __________
五、阅读表达(共3小题,1+2+3分,满分6分)
A group of graduates, successful in their careers, got together to visit their old university
professor.Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.
Before offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large
pot of coffee and a variety of cups-porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking and cheap,
some exquisite and expensive-telling them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the
nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones.While it is
normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and
stress.Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee.In most cases it is just more
expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink.What all of you really wanted was coffee,
not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups...And then you began eyeing each
other's cups.Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the
cups.They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define,
nor change the quality of Life we live.Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to
enjoy the coffee God has provided us."
God brews the coffee, not the cups.Enjoy your coffee!
"The happiest people don't have the best of everything.They just make the best of everything."
Live simply.Love generously.Care deeply.Speak kindly.Leave the rest to God.
