Many people believe Henry Ford invented the automobile .But Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until 1896.That was eleven years after two Germans developed the world's first automobile.Many people believe Henry Ford invented the production line that moved a car's parts to the worker，instead of making the worker move to the parts.That is not true，either.Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford.What Henry Ford did was to use other people's ideas and make them better.And he made the whole factory a moving production line.
   In the early days of the automobile，almost every car maker raced his cars.It was the best way of gaining public notice.Henry Ford decided to build a racing car.Ford's most famous race was his first one.It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself.
   The race was in 1901，at a field near Detroit.All of the most famous cars had entered，but only two were left：the Winton's and Ford's.The Winton was famous for its speed.Most people thought the race was over before it began.
   The Winton took an early lead.But halfway through the race，it began to lose power.Ford started to gain.And near the end of the race，he took the lead.Ford won the race and defeated the Winton.His name appeared in newspapers and he became wellknown all over the United States.Within weeks of the race，Henry Ford formed a new automobile company.In 1903，a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company.That sale was the beginning of Henry Ford's dream.Ford said， "I will build a motor car for the great mass of people.It will be large enough for the family，but small enough for one person to operate and care for.It will be built of the best materials.It will be built by the best men to be employed.And it will be built with the simplest plans that modern engineering can produce.It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one."
   The Model T was a car of that kind.It only cost ﹩850.It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on.Doctors bought the Model T.So did farmers.Even criminals.They considered it the fastest and surest form of transportation.Americans loved the Model T.They wrote stories and songs about it.Thousands of Model T were built in the first few years.

1．Scientists have already studied how dogs respond to people's behavior and speech.But researchers are just scratching the surface of human-cat interactions.House cats do appear to respond to the expressions on people's faces.Cats can also tell different human voices.But can cats recognize their own names？
   Saito，a psychologist at Sophia University in Tokyo，and her colleagues decided to find the answer.They asked the owners of 77 cats to say four nouns of similar length followed by the cat's name.Cats gradually lost interest in each random（隨機(jī)的）noun.But when the owner said a cat's name，the cats reacted strongly.They moved their ears，head or tail，changed their back paw's position.And，of course，they miaowed.
   These findings mean that cats join the ranks of animals that have shown some sort of response in experiments to the names people give them.Those animals include dogs，dolphins，apes and parrots.Some dogs，for example，can tell the difference between hundreds of human words.It's hard to compare the number of words across species，though.
   The study makes a strong case that cats are perfectly capable of recognizing their own names.Getting a treat or hug as a reward is part of how cats learn to recognize a name.However，owners may also use their cat's name in a negative setting，like yelling at Fluffy to get off the stove.As a result，cats can probably learn to associate these familiar utterances with good and bad experiences，Saito notes.And that might not be great for human-cat relations.So only using a cat's name in a positive context and using a different term in a negative context could help cats and humans communicate more clearly.
   So cats may recognize their names.But will they come when called？Don't get your hopes up.

（1）What made cats react strongly according to Saito's study？

A．Their owners.
B．Their own names.
C．A random noun.
D．A delicious meal.
（2）The findings show

.
A．a(chǎn)ll dogs will respond on hearing their names
B．it's extremely difficult to tell cats' names from dogs'
C．scientists know how to tell the difference between animals
D．there is difference in the number of words recognized among animals
（3）Which of the following could replace the underlined word "utterances" in Paragraph 4？

A．words
B．situations
C．observations
D．owners
（4）What should people avoid to improve human-cat communication？

A．Giving a treat or hug as a reward.
B．Calling their name in a positive context.
C．Using a different term in a negative setting.
D．Associating their name with bad experiences.

2．Humans are naturally drawn to other life forms and the worlds outside of our own．We take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies beyond our everyday lives．
   This sense of wonder is universal．Look at the efforts that scientists have made to find out whether life of some kind exists on Mars，and the popularity of fantasy literature or movies like The Lord of the Rings．This sense of wonder draws us to each other，to the world around us，and to the world of make-believe．But have we gone so far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that already exist all around us？
   Human beings，as biologists have suggested，possess an inborn desire to connect with and understand other life forms．However，people，especially in big cities，often lead rather isolated lives．In a study of British schoolchildren，it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from television shows and video games than with common wildlife．Without modern technology，a small pond could be an amazing world filled with strange and beautiful plants，insects，birds，and animals．When we lack meaningful interaction（交互） with the world around us，and sometimes even with our families and friends，we seek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen．
   The world of make-believe is not necessarily bad．But when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet（出路） for our sense of wonder，then we are really missing something．We are missing a connection with the living world．Other wonderful worlds exist all around us．But even more interesting is that if we look closely enough，we can see that these worlds，in a broad sense，are really part of our own．

（1）The popularity of The Lord of the Rings proves

A．the close connection between man and the fantasy world
B．the wonderful achievements of fantasy literature
C．the fine taste of moviegoers around the world
D．the general existence of the sense of curiosity
（2）What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3？

A．People are far less familiar with the world of fantasy．
B．The world around us could serve as a source of wonder．
C．The world of fantasy can be mirrored by a small and lively pond．
D．Modern technology prevents us from developing our sense of wonder．
（3）If our sense of wonder relies totally on the world of make-believe，we will

．
A．fail to appreciate the joy in our lives
B．be confused by the world of make-believe
C．miss the chance to recognize the fantasy world
D．be trapped by other worlds existing all around us
（4）What is the main purpose of the passage？

A．To show us the hidden beauty in our world．
B．To warn us not to get lost in the fantasy world．
C．To argue against the misuse of the sense of wonder．
D．To discuss the influence of the world of make-believe．

3．Satellites are an important part of our ordinary lives.For example，the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellites.Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of the earth to show how clouds are moving.Satellites are also used to connect our international phone calls.
   Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites.Many of our TV programs come to us through satellites.Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location.
   We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another.They are usually 35，880 kilometers above the equator.Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place. This is because it is moving around the world at 11，000 kilometers an hour-exactly the same speed as the earth rotates（旋轉(zhuǎn)）at.A satellite must orbit the earth with its antennae （天線）facing the earth.Sometimes，it moves away from its orbit.So there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position.This usually happens about every five or six days.
   Space is not empty！Every week，more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the earth.A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years.Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to the earth to be repaired.Often，very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the earth for a very long time.This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other.

（1）What does the underlined word "This" in the 3rd paragraph refer to？

A．A satellite.
B．A little rocket.
C．A satellite seems to stay in the same place in the sky.
D．The satellite puts the rockets in the right position.
（2）Which is true of satellites？

A．A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years.
B．Every time a satellite gets broken，it is brought back to the earth to be repaired.
C．A broken satellite is never left in space.
D．They often crash into each other.
（3）Which of the following is NOT done by satellites according to the passage？

A．Sending information for weather forecasts.
B．Taking photographs of the earth.
C．Sending TV pictures.
D．Providing food for airplane pilots.
（4）What's the speed the earth rotates at？

A．35，880 kilometers per hour.
B．335，880 kilometers per hour.
C．11，000 kilometers per hour.
D．110，000 kilometers per hour.
