Every day we go to school and listen to teachers, and the teacher will ask us some questions. Sometimes, the classmates will ask your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends --- you are in a situation where a large group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak so that they can hear you loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself.
Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease in ordinary conversation but the situation is somewhat different from that of an ordinary conversation. You must take special care that you can be heard.

Many people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history, politics, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet, no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, can not teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.
It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula(公式). It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a math problem. Great scientists before us didn’t get everything from school .Their teachers only showed them the way. Edison did not even finish primary school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind. The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school . They would ask many questions as they read. They did thousands of experiments. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. Above all , they knew how to use their brain.
小題1: To work out a math problem, you need to know __________.
A．only a certain formula
B．how to memorize some facts
C．only some facts
D．the method to work it out
小題2: Why were many scientists so successful?

Do you want to live forever? By the year 2050, you might actually get your wish — if you are willing to leave your biological body and live in silicon circuits （半導體電路）．But long before then, perhaps as early as 2020, some measures will begin offering a semblance of immortality （虛擬的永生）.
Researchers are confident that technology will soon be able to track every waking moment of your life. Whatever you see and hear, all that you say and write, can be recorded, analyzed and added to your personal chronicles （履歷）. By the year 2030, it may be possible to catch your nervous systems through electrical activities, which would also keep your thoughts and emotions.
Researchers at the laboratories of British Telecommunications have given the name of this idea as Soul Catcher. Small electronic equipment will make preparation for Soul Catcher. It would use a wearable supercomputer, perhaps in a wristwatch, with wireless links to micro sensors under your scalp（頭皮） and in the nerves that carry all five sensory signals. So wearing a video camera would no longer be required.
At first, the Soul Catcher's companion system — the Soul Reader — might have trouble copying your thoughts in complete details. Even in 2030, we may still be struggling to understand how the brain is working inside, so reading your thoughts and understanding your emotions might not be possible. But these signals could be kept for the day when they can be transferred to silicon circuits to revitalize minds everlasting entities （永生實體）. Researchers can only wonder what it will be like to wake up one day and find yourself alive inside a machine．
For people who choose not to live in silicon, semblance of immortality would not be as useless as they thought. People would know their lives would not be forgotten, but would be kept a record of the human race forever. And future generations would have a much fuller understanding of the past. History would not be controlled by just the rich and powerful, Hollywood stars, and a few thinkers in the upper society.
小題1:The main idea of this passage is that _______．
A．human beings long for living forever
B．there are many difficulties in making the Soul Catcher
C．people might live forever as technology develops
D．the invention of Soul Catcher has great importance
小題2:According to this passage, a Soul Catcher will be ______．
A．a(chǎn) new machine on which research measures have already been made
B．a(chǎn) new invention in order to catch and keep human's thoughts and emotions
C．made by British scientists to offer something that looks like living forever
D．made of silicon circuits which can catch people's nervous activity
小題3:According to the writer, semblance of immortality is ______．
A．to be a reality sooner or laterB．far from certain
C．just an idea that couldn't t be realized at allD．a(chǎn) fading hope
小題4:The meaning of the underlined word "revitalize" in the fourth paragraph is close to        .
A．make deadB．make famous C．make knownD．make active

That morning, I stepped into the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with seventy-five students who would be my English Literature class. Having taught in  1 for seventeen years, I had no  2  about my ability to hold their attention and to  3  on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.
I was shocked when the monitor shouted, "  4  !" The entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat  5  about how to get them to sit down again, but once that awkwardness was over, I quickly  6  my calmness and began what I thought was a fact-packed lecture, sure to gain their respect—perhaps  7  their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a sense of achievement.
My students  8  diaries. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually  9  by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, "Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today.  10  her next lecture will be better." Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a  11  theme. "Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical  12  for all the works we’ll study in class," I complained." How _13  they say I didn’t teach them anything?"
It was a long term, and it  14  became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as_15 of my students. I thought a teacher’s job was to raise   16  questions and provide enough background so that students could  17 their own conclusions.

Will life in the future be better, worse or the same as now? Futurologists（未來學家）predict that life will probably be very different in 2050.
First of all, it seems that TV channels will have disappeared by 2050. A computer will send the program directly to the television. On TV screen appear holograms（全息圖）, which are pictures with certain height, width and depth. We will be able to see, smell and touch the things that we see on television.
Water has become one of our most serious problems. Agriculture is changing and people are growing more fruit and vegetables to export. Demand for water will increase ten times in 2050. Some futurologists predict that water will be the cause of war if we don’t act now.
In transport, cars will run on new fuels and go very fast. A car will have computers to control its speed and there won’t be any accidents. On the other hand, space planes will take people around the earth in about three hours. People will fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo by space plane in just half an hour.
In the field of technology, robots will have replaced people in factories. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere. They do not ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day. 
Medicine technology will have conquered many diseases by 2050; we will be able to help blind and deaf people see again and hear again. Scientists have discovered how to control genes. They have already produced clones of animals and will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look, how they behave and how much intelligence they have. If you want all this to come true, you should study science and technology hard.
小題1:What is the main difference between today’s and 2050’s TV?
A．We can use a computer to turn off the TV set.
B．We can talk with the characters appearing on TV.
C．We can choose whatever we like to see on TV.
D．We can touch the things we see on TV.
小題2:What isn’t mentioned about the future in 2050 in the passage?
A．Technology.B．Medicine.C．Movies.D．Agriculture.
小題3:What will be more likely to cause the war in the future?

IMAGINE if there was a device that could do everything for you – wake you up every morning, chat with you and type your e-mails.
The piece of technology in question would be smart, able to tell you about the weather and where the nearest restaurants are.
The good thing is you no longer need to wonder, because something like this already exists. And its name is Siri.
Siri is a voice recognition application designed for Apple products and the concept has been around for almost a year.
When Siri first came out it could only speak English, but now it has “l(fā)earned” lots of new languages, including Chinese, Cantonese and Taiwanese, reported The Wall Street Journal. So, you can give it orders in your mother tongue.
But how could a cell phone or a computer “hear” what you are saying and understand it? This is all because of voice recognition technology.
When you speak, your voice creates vibrations (振動) in the air – a bit like waves in the water when you throw a rock into the lake. The microphone receives the vibrations and the computer changes them into digital data that is then divided into many parts. They are analyzed one by one to see what pronunciations each part stands for. The computer then puts these pronunciations together into possible words according to its built-in dictionary.
But figuring out the words is far from enough; building words into meaningful sentences is the most difficult part. The computer has to compare what it hears to a large library of known phrases and sentences to determine what the user is saying.
However, people don’t always talk in the most standard way and sometimes make grammatical mistakes. This is why traditional voice recognition software always requires you to remember keywords and to speak in a certain way.
Fortunately, Siri isn’t like that. It’s not just “voice recognition”; it’s “natural language understanding (NLU)”. You can ask it things like “Do I need an umbrella today?” and it will know that you are asking about the weather, according to ABC News.
“The key thing is NLU – understanding what you mean and what you want,” Neil Grant from Nuance, a software company in the US, told The Guardian. “Historically, you had to learn a huge long list of commands . As NLU progresses, you can say what you want in a way that’s natural to you.”
小題1:What is the function of the first two paragraphs?
A．To show that invention usually results from need.
B．To clear doubts about voice recognition technology.
C．To introduce something that offers these helpful services.
D．To show how the voice recognition works.
小題2:Which step is the most complicated in the process of voice recognition according to the article?
A．Changing the received vibrations into digital data.
B．Analyzing the digital data to see what pronunciations it represents.
C．Putting the pronunciations together into possible words.
D．Figuring out meaningful sentences based on the words.
小題3:How can you get Siri to respond according to the article?
A．You can speak in a natural way as you would to a person.
B．You can only speak English and Chinese.
C．You have to say things in a certain way.
D．You have to remember keywords and speak specific commands.
小題4:What can be concluded from the article?
A．Siri can record and save what you say frequently into a computer dictionary.
B．Siri will fail to understand what you say if you make grammatical mistakes.
C．The biggest advantage of Siri is that it’s NLU is rather than just voice recognition.
D．Since first applied to Apple products a year ago, Siri has made great improvements.
小題5:The text is mainly about ________.
A．the convenience of future life.
B．a(chǎn)n introduction to the Apple products.
C．the working system of voice recognition
D．the introduction to Siri
