French and American doctors have done an operation (手术) together in which the doctors were outside the operating room. This kind of operation is known as robotic operation.
Doctor Marescaux did the operation in an office in New York City last month, while a sixty-eight-year-old woman patient was in a hospital in Strasbourg, France.
A doctor in Strasbourg got the patient ready. He placed medical tools and a small video camera in her stomach area. Doctor Marescaux in New York watched the patient on a video screen. Then he used the computer to send messages to the robot machine.
The robot moved the tools that cut the woman’s gallbladder (胆囊) away. The woman got well soon after the operation and left the hospital two days later.
Experts say the main problem with such a robotic operation is based on high-speed telecommunications (通讯系统) between the doctor and the robot. Technology must be able to send a doctor’s order to a robot to move the tool quickly.
Experts also say a successful robotic operation will improve an operation. For example, the robot can make such smaller movements than a person can. A robot machine can turn tools in ways that a doctor’s hand cannot.
Doctors say such a robotic operation will make safer and better operations in the future. They say it will improve doctor training. It will also mean that doctors could do an operation on people in dangerous places far away. And it could mean that people could have operations done by top doctors without having to travel to the city where the doctors work.

The underlined phrase “ robotic operation” means ________.

A.a special kind of robot invented by doctors.
B.something done to mend a robot.
C.an operation done by French and American doctors.
D.an operation done far away with the help of a robot.

We use the robot in the operation because _________.

A.it can send messages in a high speed.
B.even a top doctor can’t do the operation himself.
C.it can make the operation safer and better.
D.operations can be done without doctors.

If we want to use the robot in the operation, we must solve the problem of ________.

A.top doctors
B.smaller movement
C.doctor training
D.high-speed telecommunications

Which of the following is NOT right?
A.Robotic operation has been used in the USA.
B.Robotic operation is good for doctor training.
C.Experts speak highly of robotic operation.
D.The robot is used to watch the patient clearly.
What’s the best title for this passage?

For many in the United States, Arab-Americans are an invisible part of the population. Though Arab-Americans as a community have made great contributions to American society in fields from literature to politics to medicine, many Americans know very little about Americans of Arab backgrounds.
Arab history in the United States goes back to the late 1800’s when large numbers of Arab immigrants first began making their journey to a land known simply as “Amreeka”.
Historians generally describe Arab immigration to America in two waves. The first wave took place between 1860 and 1924.The first wave consisted of Lebanese and Syrian, and some Egyptian immigrants. These new immigrants, who were mostly Christian, came to America in search of better opportunities. Even the doomed Titanic, which set sail for America in 1912,had close to a hundred Arab passengers aboard. The majority of Arab-Americans today are descendents of the first wave of immigrants; they are the third or more generation Americans.
The second wave of immigrants followed after World War Ⅱ,caused by political unrest in the Middle East. This second wave of immigrants consists of mainly Arab Muslims(穆斯林)and continues to this day.
Arab-Americans make up 3 million of the population in the United States, according to demographers. And quite different from popular belief, 64 percent of them are American-born. Eighty-two percent of Arab-Americans are US citizens.
Arab-Americans are beyond the national average in both education and income. Education is important among Arab-Americans; 82 percent have high school diplomas, 36 percent have bachelor’s degrees or higher, and 15 percent have graduate degrees. The-median(中位数的)average income among Arab-Americans is $39,580, which is higher than the US average.
The first wave of immigrants took place because__________.

A.all Arabs were Christian at that time
B.Arabs wanted to gain higher income
C.the Second World War broke out
D.Arabs wanted to hunt for a better development

The writer of this passage mentioned Titanic__________.

A.to tell us that taking ship at that time was dangerous
B.because Titanic became a well-known disaster
C.to show us there were many Arabs flocking into America at that time
D.to inform us that Arabs are brave enough

From the last paragraph we can infer that__________.

A.Arab-Americans are much more clever than native Americans
B.the higher education you receive, the higher income you will get in America
C.Arab-Americans are hard-working people
D.The-median average income among Americans is $39,580

Which of the following sentences is TRUE?

A.Arab-Americans have made great contributions to American society only in literature.
B.Arab history in the United States is to the early 1800’s.
C.The first Arab immigration to America took place between 1860 and 1924.
D.Few of Arab-Americans are US citizens.

What would be the best title for the text?

A.Arabs in America.
B.The Two Arab Immigration Waves to America.
C.Arab-Americans, Contributions to America.
D.Arab-Americans, Education and Income.


At 18, many American young people go off on their own. They go away to college or find full-time jobs, and they often rent their own apartments. Some get married and start families. This independence(独立性)is learned from childhood.
From an early age, American children learn responsibility(责任感). Children as young as 2 begin to put away their toys and dress themselves. At 3, many children do simple chores like setting the table.
Using money wisely is also taught early. As soon as a child understands the value of money, he or she receives a weekly allowance. This is used for things the child wants, like toys or treats. The child can spend or save it, usually with little guidance(指导) from parents. If the child wants money besides his or her allowance, it must be made by doing extra chores.
Children are taught early in life to think for themselves. They are allowed to make some decisions and make mistakes. Failure often teaches children more than success.

One morning it was shining brightly when I woke up. I looked at the alarm clock. It said 3:45! It had stopped! What time was it? I climbed out of bed and went downstairs to the kitchen. The kitchen clock said 8:30—I was late! My parents were away. My aunt had gone to work without checking if I was up. The school bus went at 8:00. I had missed it. I rang my friend Tony on his mobile phone.
“Tell the teacher I’ll be in as soon as I can!” I said.
“Come on your rollerblades,” Tony said. “It will be faster than the bus.”
I washed and dressed in a hurry. I grabbed an apple to eat on the way. That was my breakfast! Then I put on my rollerblades and set off for school. It took half an hour to get to the school. I took all the shortcuts I knew. I went across the park — even through some backyards! When I got to school, I was very hot and my legs ached. I had missed math, our first lesson of the morning. But I made it just in time for history, our second lesson. I was very happy because history is my favorite subject.

London’s Chinese community(社区) dates back to the 18th century, when a small number of Chinese sailors moved to the city to work in Limhouse, east London. As time went on, other Chinese came to this area and Limhouse began to be known as “Chinatown”. However, London’s Chinese community remained every small for many years: at the start of the 20th century, there were just 545 Chinese people in Britain.
After the Second World War, many farmers in Hong Kong lost their jobs and came to London. As Limhouse had been almost destroyed during the war, they settled (定居) in a different area—a port of central London near Leicester Square. This area is now what Londoners call Chinatown.
At first, the new immigrants found it difficult to get jobs. In the 1950s, however, a small Chinese restaurant opened in London. Many British people visited it and said that Chinese food was wonderful! Suddenly, Chinese restaurants and take-ways started opening in every part of the city. Instead of too little work, the new Chinese immigrants now found that they had too much! They worked as cooks, managers or waiters. Most of them enjoyed their lives and arranged their friends and relatives to join them from overseas.
As time went by, London’s Chinese community became more and more successful. The sons and daughters of the original restaurant workers studied and worked very hard. And most went on to get highly paid jobs. Many Chinese families left Chinatown and moved to more expensive outskirts. Chinatown, however, is still as lively as ever.
When did the first Chinese immigrants come to London?
A. In the 1950s.
B. B. More than 200 years ago.
C. C. At the start of the 20 century.
Why did many Chinese immigrants come to London in the 1950s?
A. Because it was easy for them to get jobs there.
B. Because many British people enjoyed Chinese food.
C. Because their children could study there and get highly paid jobs.
In the 1950s, Chinese immigrants came to London and worked as _______.
A. sailors
B. sailors and farmers
C. restaurant workers
Where is London’s Chinatown now?
A. In the east of London.
B. In Limhouse.
C. Not far from Leicester square.
According to this passage, if people live in the outskirts of a city, they live ______.
A. in the center of the city
B. in the outer areas of the city
