At present, almost everyone has a mobile phone, but have you ever thought that cell phones 36 be bad for your health? A study shows that heavy mobile phone use may cause hearing loss.
This study shows that people who use cell phones for about an hour a day have a 37 time hearing some similar sounds, especially in their right ears. It is getting harder for 38 to tell the difference between the sounds of “s” and “f”, and “t” and “z”.
Researchers studied 100 people who used cell phones and 39 them with 50 people who did not. The study lasted for 12 months. What the researchers found was that cell phone users had more hearing 40 than those who did not use cell phones.
Besides this, our ears have many little 41 inside them. Too much noise will cause these hairs to get weak and 42 die. When these hairs die, it affects our ability to listen. However, cell phone users don’t care too much 43 this study. One man said, “I’d be more worried about people who 44 MP3 players. They put those earphones in their ears and listen to very 45 music. I think that is more likely to cause hearing loss than a cell phone.”

Imagine the situation. You are driving along in a desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device (装置) which uses satellites to find the user’s position. It can find your position to within 20 meters. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are.
GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put in you pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.
There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.
Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate (精确的). There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.
( )56. According to the passage, with the help of the GPS, people ______.
A. can’t be lost in a new city
B. can’t find their way in different counties
C. can learn about the culture of an unknown place
D. can spend the least time getting to another place
( )57. We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. there are three parts to the GPS
B. a GPS can’t be put into a watch
C. a GPS can help you start your car
D. the GPS are becoming more and more expensive ( )58. The underlined word “They” in paragraph 3 means “______”.
A. Receivers B. GPS devices C. Satellites D. Ground stations
( )59. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. the history of the GPS B. the introduction of GPS
C. the shape of the GPS D. the three parts of the GPS
( )60. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A. All GPS devices have electronic maps.
B. People in many countries will use the GPS for free.
C. The receiver of the GPS contacts at least five of the satellites.
D. The GPS will become more and more common in everyday life.

It’s March, 2050.
Frank and Mary Smith wake up in their comfortable house in the morning and switch on the bedroom computer to get the latest news. They used to read the Times, but changed to electronic newspapers many years ago.
There is the usual news about space: another space flight has returned from Mars and scientists have discovered a new planet. Then they turn to business news: the US dollar has risen greatly in Shanghai, one of the world’s leading business centers. Mary tells the computer to buy 5, 000 dollars, and there is a quick response that it has been done.
As they watch the screen, Mary orders one of the household robots to make coffee for them. Frank disappears into the study to join a video conference with his partners around the world. He is a computer engineer, working for several companies. This is his third job: used to be in marketing and then television.
Frank and Mary have one daughter, Louise, who also has her own workstation at home. She goes to school only one day a week, mainly to play with other students. Classrooms disappeared in 2030 because there was no longer any need for them: communications systems have made it much easier to learn at home.
Louise, now thirteen is studying Chinese at present, which has become a world language as important as English. Louise has many Chinese friends. They communicate by computer.
According to the family doctor, Louise will live to at least 130. Her wish is to work for a few decades and then spend her time on music and painting.

Imagine the situation. You are driving along in a desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device (装置) which uses satellites to find the user’s position. It can find your position to within 20 meters. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are.
GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put in you pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.
There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.
Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate (精确的). There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.
( )56. According to the passage, with the help of the GPS, people ______.
A. can’t be lost in a new city
B. can’t find their way in different counties
C. can learn about the culture of an unknown place
D. can spend the least time getting to another place
( )57. We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. there are three parts to the GPS
B. a GPS can’t be put into a watch
C. a GPS can help you start your car
D. the GPS are becoming more and more expensive ( )58. The underlined word “They” in paragraph 3 means “______”.
A. Receivers B. GPS devices C. Satellites D. Ground stations
( )59. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. the history of the GPS B. the introduction of GPS
C. the shape of the GPS D. the three parts of the GPS
( )60. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A. All GPS devices have electronic maps.
B. People in many countries will use the GPS for free.
C. The receiver of the GPS contacts at least five of the satellites.
D. The GPS will become more and more common in everyday life.

It’s March, 2050.
Frank and Mary Smith wake up in their comfortable house in the morning and switch on the bedroom computer to get the latest news. They used to read the Times, but changed to electronic newspapers many years ago.
There is the usual news about space: another space flight has returned from Mars and scientists have discovered a new planet. Then they turn to business news: the US dollar has risen greatly in Shanghai, one of the world’s leading business centers. Mary tells the computer to buy 5, 000 dollars, and there is a quick response that it has been done.
As they watch the screen, Mary orders one of the household robots to make coffee for them. Frank disappears into the study to join a video conference with his partners around the world. He is a computer engineer, working for several companies. This is his third job: used to be in marketing and then television.
