　　　You might think people all over the United States have Wi-Fi----wireless Internet service---and mobile phones. But there is no such service in Green Bank, West Virginia, a tiny town four hours from the U.S. capital, Washington D．C． Fewer than 150 people live in Green Bank, which has two churches, an elementary school and a public library. It is also home to the largest radio telescope in the world.

　　　There is a ban on Wi-Fi in Green Bank, along with anything else that can create electromagnetic(电磁的)waves. Officials say the waves could disturb the signals the telescope receives.

　　　For many Americans, a visit to Green Bank is a little like returning to the 1950s. To get there, you must read road signs---because there is no GPS service in the town. People can connect with the Internet through telephones, but wireless service is not allowed.

　　　The observatory(天文台)is one of the largest employers in the area. The federal National Science Foundation(NSF) spends about ＄8.2 million a year to operate the observatory, telescope and educational center.

　　　Jonah Bauserman is a technician. If he supposes there is signal that is not allowed in the zone, he drives to the house where the signal is coming from and checks it. But once a week, when the device is cleaned, some banned devices are allowed near it.

　　　People in the town respect the work of the scientists. And they say they are happy to live without Wi-Fi and mobile phones. "You know, instead of sitting here on our phones and other devices we're out fishing and hunting and going to each other's houses." Everyone knows each other and communication is almost always face-to-face.

　　　8．What will you see when you pay a visit to Green Bank?

　　　A． GPS service B． road signs

　　　C． cell phone towers D． radio-controlled toys

　　　9．What is Jonah Bauserman's duty in his work?

　　　A． Following signals from cell phones. B． Cleaning the telescope once a week.

　　　C． Listening for signals from outer space. D． Protecting the telescope from being affected.

　　　10．The telescope has brought to the local people.

　　　A． a healthier lifestyle B． many job chances

　　　C． great wealth D． much difficulty in life

　　　11．What may be the best title for this text?

　　　A． The Largest Radio Telescope in the World

　　　B． Good Relationships Between People in an American Town

　　　C． An American Town Without Wi-Fi and Mobile Phones

　　　D． An American town without Internet

二、七选五

　　　Leonardo da Vinci is often thought of mainly as an artist, with world-famous works like The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. 12． But his notebooks, filled with his strange writing, show that his main interests were in engineering and technology.

　　　13． If his pioneering work on anatomy (解剖学) is also taken into consideration, it is not hard to see why Leonardo is considered to be one of the greatest geniuses (天才) of all time.

　　　Born in 1452 to a Florentine lawyer and a local village girl, Leonardo was given only a very basic education. After ten years in the workshop of the artist Verrocchio, he began to work for himself. The work he did shows an unbelievable combination of technical skill and very careful observation.14．

　　　At the age of thirty, he left his hometown and moved to Milan, where he spent seventeen years working for the Duke of Milan. 15． In fact, his painting was increasingly influenced by his interest in mathematics. During this period, he painted The Last Supper and developed his ideas for chemical weapons (化学武器).

　　　In 1506 he returned to Milan and became increasingly interested in science. 16． He also studied many other animals, comparing their bodies to the human body. From then on, Leonardo spent the rest of his life mainly on his scientific studies.

　　　A． Before long, he returned to his painting.

　　　B． Of course, his place in art history is certain.

C． It also shows his great interest in technology.
