Paul, the oracle octopus (神算章魚(yú)), was given a replica (復(fù)制品) of the World Cup as a reward for his perfect eight-for-eight record in predicting the results of matches.

The two-year-old octopus with possible supernatural powers turned into a worldwide celebrity for accurately predicting the German team’s five World Cup wins as well as their two defeats. Paul also tipped Spain to beat Netherlands in the final.

“We have had a lot of offers for Paul but he will definitely be staying with us and returning to his usual job-making children smile,” Sea Life spokeswoman Tanja Munzig in Oberhausen said after presenting Pual with the World Cup replica.

There’s no rational(合理的)reasons why Paul always got it right. Bettors around the world made small fortunes based on Paul’s guess, said Graham Sharpe, media relations director at William Hill in London. “I’ve seen a lot of things in my lifetime but this is the first time I’ve ever seen people making their picks based on what an octopus tells them. We had people coming in saying they didn’t know how to place a bet but heard about this German octopus and wanted to bet with him. It’s funny. But he kept getting it right.” said Sharpe.

Sharpe said that anyone who had placed a 10-pound accumulator bet(累計(jì)下注)on Paul’s prediction from the start of the World Cup would have won 3,000 pounds($4,500)by the end of the tournament.

Paul’s home at Sea Life aquarium(水族館)in Oberhausen has been crowded with visitors and media from across Europe. Many networks broadcast his predicting live. Many networks broadcast his picks live. Hundreds were on hand to watch the World Cup replica lowered into his tank on Monday, 12 July, 2010.

Paul was rewarded a replica of the Word Cup because he           .

A. will celebrate his birthday soon

B. predicted the results of matches accurately

C. helped beat Netherlands in the final

D. helped many fans earn much money

            during the tournament.

A. $30,000           B. $45,000           C. $60,000             D. $90,000

The underlined word “tipped” in the 2nd paragraph probably means           .

A. ordered           B. announced         C. predicted             D. helped

From what Sharpe said we can learn that           .

A. it’s amazing for Paul to make more exact prediction than people

B. octopus like Paul may all have the ability to predict exactly

C. it’s common for people to believe in sea life for prediction

D. we’d better not bet with animals when we have trouble making our picks

  It looks like a mobile phone, but the service is much cheaper. It acts like a mobile phone, but only in your own city. Beyond the city walls, it’s useless.

    “Little Smart”, also called “xiaolingtong”, has always been compared to mobile phones. But actually, it is more like one of those cordless phones(無(wú)繩電話) used around the home. The only difference is that this one reaches much further than from the bathroom to the living room. It can travel across an entire city.

    Cheap costs are the main reason for the success of Little Smart. It costs 25 yuan a month for the line and about 0.1 yuan per minute to use. A mobile phone, on the other hand, can cost four or five times as much. What’s more, unlike mobile phones, there’s no fee(費(fèi)) for incoming calls. So these low charges have attracted many users.

    But, Little Smart is not really that smart. Users often complain about its bad voice quality. And there are not as many stations to pick up its signals as there are for mobiles. “I couldn’t receive a phone call if I was on a bus,” said Li Ping, a user in Hangzhou. “It worked fine when I stood still, but there were breaks in signal when I was moving.”

    Scientists are trying to make Little Smart more user-friendly. Messaging and Internet access(接入) have been added to the service. And the latest Little Smart handset even has color screen.

Why is Little Smart popular in China?

    A. It looks like a mobile phone.                B. The service is much cheaper.

    C. There is no fee for incoming calls.          D. All of the above.

How is the charge of Little Smart?

    A. About 10 fen per minute to use.   

    B. It costs four or five times more than a mobile phone.

    C. It only costs 25 yuan each month.

    D. There’s no fee for calls.

Why are users not satisfied with Little Smart?

    A. They can’t hear each other clearly out of the city.

    B. There are so few stations for Little Smart to pick up its signals.

    C. When you use it, you must stand up.

    D. The charges are low.

The underlined word “handset” in the last paragraph means “______”.

    A. the hand bag    B. telephone       C. service              D. mobile phone

What can we infer from the passage?

    A. It’s wrong to say that Little Smart is smart.

    B. Scientist are trying to make Little Smart smaller.

    C. Little Smart will be better than today.

    D. People will change Little Smart into a mobile phone.

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2015屆四川省高一下學(xué)期期中考試英語(yǔ)試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

They say that soon, we will be able to receive more than 500 television networks on cable or by satellite. Some people think that it’s useless to have that many channels. Their usual criticism(批評(píng)) goes something like this: "I already get more channels on my TV than I have time to watch. No one needs to see that much TV. There’s not enough time in the day to watch all that!"They also say that most of what’s on television now isn’t worth watching in the first place.

I think they’re missing the point. If the local library wanted to add another 5,000 books, would we say, "That’s silly, we’ll never have time to read all those books"? The point is that we would have more choices.

I don’t believe that most people should watch more television. And if we had 500 or even 1,000 channels to choose from, we wouldn’t have to spend more time watching TV. We would, however, have more programs to choose from. That means that the quality of our viewing time would be improved.

I think the more channels we have, the better. Give me more choices! If they’re not worth my time, I’ll just hit the "off" button.

1.The purpose of writing this passage is to ______.

A.make a suggestion                       B.express an opinion

C.give important information                D.complain about cable television

2.From the passage we know that the author wants to ______.

A.read more books                       B.rent more TV sets

C.have more choices                      D.watch more sports

3.The number of television channels is ______.

A.increasing fast

B.decreasing fast

C.never going to be more than 1,000

D.the same as that of books in the library

4.To make his point, the author compares the development of TV networks to that of ______.

A.schoolyards        B.computers         C.libraries           D.satellites

5.What does the phrase "hit the 'off’ button" refer to?

A.Go to the library.                        B.Switch over the TV channels.

C.Turn off the TV.                         D.Have more TV networks.
