二、哲理故事

A（2015年河南卷）

Once a king got two nicefalcons（猎鹰）from his son.He had never seen such beautiful falcons before.He loved them so much and he orclered the best falconer to Lrain them to fly.

After several months，the king came to see how the training was going.He found that one fal-con had already been able to fly high in the sky，while the other was staying on the branch（树枝）of a tree quietly，just keeping still.

The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make the other falcon fly.But none of them suc-ceeded.One day，while the king was taking a walk in the forest，an idea came to his mind.May-be someone who knew the natural environment well could solve this problem.He sent for a farm-er who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.

The next morning，the king saw the other fal-con flying above in the sky freely."It is unbeliev-ablel"shouted the king."How could you make it happen？"

The farmer replied，"It's very easy.I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested."

It is always the same to human beings.We all have"two flying wings"in our hearts as well，but we often seem not to notice them and stay where we are just for safety and comfort.We won't realize we can fly so high and freely until the "branch"we are resting on breaks.

On school nights，lots of kids have to do their reading before they are allowed to watch TV.Pret-ty soon，you might get to do both at the same time，in true Harry Potter Style.

Several companies are racing to produce electronic paper and ink，complete with colors and moving images（图像）.One idea would be tocreate a newspaper like The Daily Prophet in the Harry Potter books.Its pages would hold video clips of baseball games instead of just black-and-white photos.

Electronic paper is not a new idea.A compa-ny in Massachusetts called E Ink，for example，has been working for years on such a technology.Little electricity determin.es（决定）whether each microsphere（微球）looks black or white at any given time.Together，microspheres make up words and images.The technique seems promising for creating still images that can be changed when needed，but the process（进程）is too slow for good videos.

Scientists in the Netherlands now report a new type of e-paper technology.By using layers（层）of oil，the researchers say that they can make images which change fast enough to meet stan-dard video requirements.They can also make bril-liant colors.So far，however，each image is small-er than the fingernail.

For now，reading and watching TV will have to remain two separate activities.Keep your eyes open，though.In the future，TV watching and read-ing might be part of the same work.

1.According to the passage，kids soon can____

A.be allowed to watch TV

B.watch TV while doing their homework

D.be allowed to read a newspaper

2.Several companies are racing to____.

3.What determines the black and white col-or of each microsphere？

A.Images.

B.Electricity.

C.Oil and ink.

D.Fingernail.

4.Which of the following is NOT true？

A.Electronic paper is not a new idea.

B.Microspheres make up words and images.

C.Now TV watching and reading is part of the same work.

D.Scientists use layers of oil in a new re-search.

Have you ever thought of why dogs are hu-man's best friends？What's the bond（紧密关系）between human and dogs？A new study by Japa-nese scientist Miho Nagasawa seems to have found the answer，and it has to do with something named the cuddle（拥抱）chemical.

The cuddle chemical has another，more scien-tific name oxytocin（催产素）.Oxytocin is some-thing in the blood that encourages bonding.Levels of oxytocin increase，for example，when a mother feeds her newborn baby.According to Nagasawa's study，levels of oxytocin can also go up when we look deeply into the eyes of a dog.

Humans and dogs have been working togeth-er for nearly 30，000 years.In order to better un-derstand how the cuddle chemical worked be-tween dogs and humans，Nagasawa and his team did an experiment.They tested levels of oxytocin in dogs and humans，and then put them in a room to interact（交流）with each other.While in the room，the humans pet the dogs，spoke to the dogs，and looked into the dogs' eyes.Then the scientiststested their levels of oxytocin again.

The researchers found that levels of oxytocin were higher in both humans and dogs after they in-teracted. However，levels were the highest in the humans and dogs that simply looked into each others' eyes，without touch petting or talking.The longer the humans looked into the eyes of the dogs，the more cuddle chemical was let out.Naga-sawa did the same experiment with humans and woLves（狼），but it did not give the same results.

1.The underlined word"it"in Paragraph 1refers to____.

A.something

B.the answer

C.a new study

D.the cuddle chemical

2.Nagasawa did the experiment of humansand dogs to know____

A.how oxytocin worked

B.how oxytocin was divided

3.Oxytocin levels reached the highest in thehumans and dogs____

A.when they looked into each other's eyes

B.when they talked with each other

C.if the dogs cuddled the humans

D.if the humans pet the dogs

4.What can we infer（推断）from the last sentence of the text？

A.More experiments are expected to help wolves produce oxytocin.

B.The cuddle chemical in human blood pro-tects us against wolves.

C.It makes sense that humans and wolves are naturally best friends.

D.It's generally impossible to have the bond between humans and wolves.

Every country has its own way of saying things-its own special expressions.Many every-day American expressions are based on colours.Today our program is all about colours.

D（2015年河南卷）

There is little doubt that house cats first de-veloped naturally from ancient wild cats.The clos-est relative is the African wild cat which still lives in Africa today.This is understandable because the first house cats came from Africa.

Cats first started to live around people in Egypt about 6.000-7，000 years ago.From Egypt，cats started to move around the world.This is about the same time that Egyptians began storing grain（谷物）in buildings.Scientists used to be-lieve that people tamed cats to catch mice and protect the grain.However，cats don't like to be told what to do！Now，scientists believe that cats followed the mice and learned to accept people.Finally，some of the cats began to grow comfort-able around people.These were smaller cats that needed protection.As these cats and people got used to each other，then they moved in together.Around 5，000 years ago，cats started to live with people.

Soon cats were in Greece，then the Middle East and China.They moved along Egyptian busi-ness roads keeping away mice and keeping peo-ple around them.After the Romans came to Egypt，they also accepted the cats and brought them to Europe.These cats likely bred（繁殖）with other cats to form the many kinds of house cats we have today.

Cats are relatively recent house animals.House cats still have a lot in common with their wild relatives.Cats sleep a lot to save energy just like wild cats.They will often get food at night as well.House cats are generally peaceful and friend-ly，but be careful！If a cat feels it is in the danger，it will fight back-just like a wild cat！

How green are you？Do you know how to be green？

We all need a healthy environment，but we produce waste every day and it's harmful to our environment.Though we are young，we can still do something to help.Here are some ideas for you.

Reduce

Reduce means"use less".Don't waste things.This saves money and reduces pollution.Before we buy something new，think whether it is really necessary-or maybe the old one is still useful.

Reuse

Reuse means"use again".When we buy things，make sure that they can ast a long time.When something is broken，we should repair it in-stead of throwing it away and buying a new one.Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag.It's better to use a china（瓷）cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.

Recycle

Recycle means"change things into some-thing else".Though it takes energy to change something into something else，it's better than throwing things away or burning them.

C（2015年广东卷）

It is reported that some developed countries have shipped broken parts of computers to China.Such a thing can be found almost every day al-though it is against international laws.Last month Hong Kong officers found 131，000 kilograms of broken computers，TVs and phones sent from Ja-pan.

Things like these are called electronic waste，or e-waste.Dealing with them is not an easy job because dangerous poisons like mercury（汞）and lead（铅）can be found in them.Every time an old computer breaks down，it needs to be dealt with safely.But at present，broken computer parts are usually buried.It may be hundreds of years be-fore they are really gone in the earth.

Many places in China are polluted by e-waste.Guiyu in Guangdong Province is one of them.This town is named as"the e-waste capital of the world".It has to deal with l.5 million kilograms of e-waste each year，from which it makes 75 mil-lion yuan.But it comes at a cost.Many of the poisons in e-waste find their way into the environ-ment.Plastic is burned outdoors and chemical water is poured into rivers.Greenpeace，an envi-ronmental group，has found the air，the earth and the rivers in Guiyu badly polluted.

The Chinese government wants the country to develop，but in a way that doesn't do harm to the environment and people's life.This year，China passed a new environmental protection law，the strictest one we have ever had.Computer com-panies like Lenovo and Dell will be asked to take back their old computers.This is because the companies that make computers know best how to deal with them safely.Hopefully，the problem with e-waste will be solved in the near future.
