But the computer is placed in Sunnyside,. about 80 kilometers away. What scientists input (输入) is sent by telephone lines to the computer, and after a time, copies of the designs are needed back in Felton as quickly as possible Lockheed people have tried several ways of sending the prints, but the most effective seems to be by pigeon. Are pigeons really used to carry messages in these days? They are, and they send the prints faster and cheaper than any other way.Human messengers are much more expensive and slower than the pigeons. The road to Felton goes through the mountains, and the driving is not easy. An electronic printout (电子打印输出) system could do the work in Felton, but at a cost of 10 dollars a print. Pigeons carry the designs for about 1 dollar each. Now Lockheed people have ten pigeon messengers. The pigeons do the work, and they have made Lockheed more famous.

But recently, some people have been much more concerned with how the grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road. Millions of animals die each year on U.S. roads, the Federal Highway Administration reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U.S. today. The main reason? Roadkill. "Ecopassages" may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths both over and under roads. "These ecopassages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid human conflicts," said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Conservation Society. But do animals actually use the ecopassages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an ecopassage that went under a highway. This showed that the lion used the passage. Builders of some ecopassages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals as different as salamanders and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses. The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might see an animal overpass!9. The writer uses the example of “ocelots” to show that_.Awild animals have become more dangerousBthe driving conditions have improved greatlyCthe measure for protecting wildlife fails to workDan increasing number of animals are killed in road accidents 10. From the news story, we know an ecopassage is_.Aan underground path for cars Ba fence built for the safety of the areaCa bridge for animals to get over a river Da pass for animals to cross the road 11. When the writer says that animals seem “to be catching on”, he means_.Aanimals begin to realize the dangers on the road Banimals begin to learn to use ecopassagesCanimals are crossing the road in groups Danimals are increasing in number12. The writer asks visitors and drivers to look around when traveling because_.Awild animals may attack cars Bwild animals may jam the roadCthey may see wild animals in the parkDthey may see wild animals on ecopassages DSupermarkets are trying out new computers that make shopping carts more intelligent (具备智能的). They will help shoppers find cups or toilet soap, and keep a record of the bill.The touch-screen devices (触摸屏装置) are on show at the Food Marketing Institute's exhibition here this week. "These devices are able to create value and get you around the store quicker," said Michael Alexandor, manager of Springboard Retail Networks Inc., which makes a smart cart computer called the Concierge.Canadian stores will test the Concierge in July. A similar device, IBM's "shopping buddy," has recently been test-marketed at Stop & Shop stores in Massachusetts.Neither device tells you how many fat grams or calories are in your cart, but they will flash you with items on sale. The idea is to make it easier for people to buy, not to have second thoughts that maybe you should put something back on the shelf."The whole model is driven by advertisers' need to get in front of shoppers," said Alexandor. "They're not watching 30-second TV ads anymore."People can use a home computer to make their shopping lists. Once at the store, a shopper can use a preferred customer card to start a system (系统) that will organize the trip around the store. If you're looking for toothpicks, you type in the word or pick it from a list, and a map will appear on the screen showing where you are and where you can find them.The devices also keep a record of what you buy. When you're finished, the device figures out your bill. Then you go to the checker or place your card into a self-checkout stand and pay. The new computerized shopping assistants don't come cheap. The Buddy devices will cost the average store about $160,000, and the Concierge will cost stores about $500 for each device.13. The underlined word “they” (paragraph1) refers to_.AsupermarketsBshop assistants Cshopping carts Dshop managers14. Which of the following is the correct order of shopping with the computerized shopping carts? a. Start the system. b. Make a shopping list.c. Find the things you want. D. Go to a self-checkout stand.AabdcBbacd Cacbd Dbcad15. We can learn from the last paragraph that_.Aintelligent shopping carts cost a large sum of moneyBthe Concierge is cheaper than the Buddy devicesCshop assistants with computer knowledge are well paid Daverage stores prefer the Concierge to the Buddy devices16. What might be the most suitable title for the text?ANew age for supermarketsBConcierge and Shopping BuddyCNew computers make shopping carts smarter DTouch-screen devices make shopping enjoyableEWhen Lew Alcindor was 13, and obviously still growing, a group of schools began offering him scholarships (奖学金) . The Alcindors decided to send their only child to Power Memorial Academy, a small school on Manhattans West Side.At Power, Alcindor came under the control of Coach Jack Donohue, a strict young man who already gained his fame as one of the best coaches in the city. Donohue brought Alcindor along slowly. As a first-year student, the boy was not able to do much but wave his long skinny arms and shoot a basket now and then. But by the second year, when he was 15 years old and nearly 7 feet tall, Alcindor was quick and skillful enough to make the high school All-American team and to lead Power to an undefeated season.From then on he simply got better. Some rival coaches （对方教练）used to take their teams quickly away from the floor before Power warmed up so that their players would not see him any sooner than they had to. Wearing size 16D shoes and sucking a lollipop (棒棒糖), Alcindor would loosen up by starting his leaping lay-ups (擦板球). Then he would casually shoot the ball with either hand, to the delight of the fans.When reporters and photographers began to follow Alcindor closely, Donohue protected his boy firmly. He simply ordered Lew to talk to no member of the press, and this suited Lew fine. He was not comfortable talking to grown-ups, perhaps because he towered over them. Discouraged photographers began following him in secret as though he were an easily-frightened giraffe. Once after ducking into a subway to escape, Alcindor told a friend that it was all becoming like policemen and robbers. “People want you not for yourself,” Donohue warned him, “but because youre a basketball player. Dont forget that.”17. Many schools offered Alcindor scholarships because_.Ahe was young Bhe was hardworkingChe was tall for his age Dhe was skillful at playing basketball18. Which of the following best describes Donohue as a young coach?Aserious, popular and slowBtall, skillful and successfulCkind, powerful and undefeated Dwell-known, strict and experienced19. Why did some rival coaches take their teams away from the floor before Power warmed up?ATheir teams refused to play PowerBTheir teams feared to see AlcindorCTheir teams would lose courage DTheir teams would lose interest20. What does the last paragraph mainly discuss?AHow Donohue protected Alcindor from the press BHow Alcindor disliked meeting reportersCWhy the press followed Alcindor closely DWhy the public wanted Alcindor badly第二节：在第21至25题中，Susan, Mike, Jane, George 和Tom正计划参加一个夏令营。阅读下面六个夏令营的介绍选项（A、B、C、D、E和F），选出符合各人需求的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。（2005年全国高考浙江卷）21.
