When she got home on Friday, she dropped into the chair with a sigh. “Whats going on, Amanda?” her dad asked as he was reading the newspaper. “I have to create a webpage for my technology class, and it is taking a lot more time than I thought it would,” Amanda answered. Her dad looked over his newspaper and asked Amanda what the webpage was about. “Its about the difference between newspaper news and Internet news,” Amanda said and added, “I have to provide information, examples and illustrations(插图).” “Sounds tough; do you have someone to help you?” her dad asked. “I have a partner named Zach,” Amanda replied. “We did research on the Internet today and found some pictures to use.” Then Amanda explained to her father the main differences: newspaper news is printed on paper, and Internet news is published online; newspaper news is only available once a day, and Internet news is published almost as soon as the news happens; many newspapers dont even print a daily paper, and Internet news is published around the clock.

As a young boy, he wanted to learn about the world. Humboldt followed his dream. In 1799, he traveled with a friend to Central and South America. On their trip, Humboldt and his friend saw and did many things. They sailed down the Amazon River. They watched dolphins play in the ocean. They explored the rain forest and climbed mountains and volcanoes. They were able to make the first maps of the northern part of South America. Humboldt set a world record for mountain climbing. He also made a discovery. During his climb, Humboldt became very sick. He found out that the higher he climbed, the less oxygen there was in the air. This made it more difficult to breathe. Later, this became known as mountain sickness. Science was another part of Humboldts interests. He wanted to write about all of the new things he saw. He described the new plants, animals, and rocks which had never been seen by scientists before. Humboldt also studied the way of life of the local people. He learned how the native people along the Amazon River used plants in their daily lives. For example, they used a strong poison from a vine(蔓生植物) to make poisoned arrows. The natives used these arrows for hunting their food. The Amazon Indians also used a native plant to treat malaria (疟疾), a serious illness. The plant grew wild, but after it was dug up, it was never replanted. Humboldt warned the natives that the plant was in danger of dying out. He looked for ways to preserve the plant and to make it grow strong. Although Humboldt took many risks during his trip, he lived to be 90 years old. In his lifetime, he made many discoveries and shared them with the world. As a tribute (颂扬) to Humboldt, there are rivers and mountains named after him.8. We can infer that Humboldt was probably a (n)_. A. explorer B. inventor C. doctor D. writer9. Humboldt and his friend made maps of_. A. the central part of South America B. the northern part of South America C. the north part of Central America D. the southern part of Central America10. What do we know about mountain sickness?A. It can be treated with a plant. B. It is a serious illness like malaria.C. It mainly influences ones breathing. D. It was discovered by Humboldts friend.11. We can tell from the text that Humboldt was_. A. easy-going B. imaginative C. optimistic D. ambitiousDIf doctors want to test you for something, theyll usually take a blood or urine sample. But wouldnt it be much more convenient if they just asked you to breathe through a special instrument? In fact, your breath can say a lot about you. In traditional Chinese medicine, doctors draw a conclusion about the health state of a patient based on the smell of his or her breath; trained dogs and rats can identify the smells of the breaths of people suffering from certain cancers; traffic police also monitor drivers alcohol consumption by testing their breaths. Just like blood and urine, your breath contains lots of “metabolites” the waste chemicals that the body produces, which vary from person to person. They are like personal health fingerprints, which is why scientists sometimes call them “breathprints”, according to Science Daily. pared to blood or urine testing, breath testing takes only seconds instead of hours, and it requires neither a needle nor a container to hold the body fluids(液). This means the test can be taken frequently to better detect early signs of diseases and monitor the progress of a medical treatment. On the other hand, as an identifier, you might think that breaths are not as reliable as fingerprints since they might change based on what you eat. However, researchers in Zurich, Switzerland mapped 11 healthy volunteers chemical patterns by having them breathe through a special instrument, and they found that each pattern was unique and the patterns didnt change much throughout the day, reported BBC. “Our goal is to develop breath analysis to the point where it bees petitive with the established analysis of blood and urine,” said Malcolm Kohler, professor at the University Hospital Zurich.12.According to the text we know that_. A. breath varies from person to person based on food B. your breath may give you away if you are not careful C. doctors can test ones breath to find about his illness D. trained dogs can identify people with certain cancers13. In parison with blood or urine testing, breath testing is _. A. fortable and convincing B. traditional and reliable C. accurate and petitive D. quick and convenient14.What is the authors attitude toward breath testing? A. Doubtful. B. Approving. C. Unconcerned. D. Worried.15. What can we infer from the text? A. Breath testing is reliable and may have a bright future. B. Blood or urine testing will be less used in medical treatment. C. Doctors have found the best way to detect early signs of diseases. D. Traditional Chinese medicine is being more and more popular.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。The Human CameraThere is not anybody else quite like Stephen Wiltshire.
