8、。 15 Computer Mouse The basic computer mouse is an amazingly clever invention with a relatively simple design that allows us to point at things on the computer and it is very productive. Think of all the things you can do with a mouse like selecting text for copying and pasting, drawing, and even sc

9、rolling on the page with the newer mice with the wheel. Most of us use the computer mouse daily without stopping to think how it works until it gets dirty and we have to learn how to clean it. We learn to point at things before we learn to speak, so the mouse is a very natural pointing device. Other

10、 computer pointing devices include light pens, graphics tablets and touch screens, but the mouse is still our workhorse. The computer mouse was invented in 1964 by Douglas Englehart of Stanford University. As computer screens became more popular and arrow keys were used to move around a body of text

11、, it became clear that a pointing device that allowed easier motion through the text and even selection of text would be very useful. The introduction of the mouse, with the Apple Lisa computer in 1983, really started the computer public on the road to relying on the mouse for routine computer tasks

12、. How does the mouse work? We have to start at the bottom, so think upside down for now. It all starts with the mouse ball. As the mouse ball in the bottom of the mouse rolls over the mouse pad.it presses against and turns two shafts. The shafts are connected to wheels with several small holes in th

13、em. The wheels have a pair of small electronic light-emitting devices called light-emitting diodes(LED)mounted on either side. One LED sends a light beam to the LED on the other side. As the wheels spin and a hole rotates by, the light beam gets through to the LED on the other side. But a moment lat

14、er the light beam is blocked until the next hole is in place. The LED detects a changing pattern of light, converts the pattern into an electronic signal, and sends the signal to the computer through wires in a cable that goes out of the mouse body. This cable is the tail that helps give the mouse i

15、ts name. The computer interprets the signal to tell it where to position the cursor on the computer screen. So far we have only discussed the basic computer mouse that most of you probably have or have used. One problem with this design is that the mouse gets dirty as the ball rolls over the surface

16、 and picks up dirt. Eventually you have to clean your mouse. The newer optical mice avoid this problem by having no moving parts. 16 Most computer users want to know how the computer mouse works. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 17 According to the author, general computer users need not to

17、know how the computer mouse was invented. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 18 The computer mouse derives its name from the cable that goes out its body, which looks like the tail of a mouse. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 19 The key components of a computer mouse are the two LEDs.

18、（ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 20 When an ordinary computer mouse gets dirty, it has to be replaced with a new one. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 21 The most durable computer mice on sale are the IBM ones. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 22 The optical mouse is superior

19、 to the basic one in that the former has no moving parts. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 三、 概括大意与完成句子 (第 23-30题，每题 1分，共 8分 ) 下面的短文后有 2项测试任务： (1)第 23-26题要求从所给的 6个选项中为第 2-5段每段选择一个最佳标题； (2)第 27-30题要求从所给的 6个选项中为每个句子确定一个最佳选项。 22 Hurricanes(龙卷风 ) Did you know that before 1950, hurricanes had no

20、names? They were simply given numbers. The first names were simply Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, etc. but in 1953, females names were given because of the unpredictability(不可预知 )factor of the storms.

If they form in the Atlantic, we call these strong storms hurricanes, from the West Indian word hurricane, meaning“big wind. “And if they are Pacific storms, they are called typhoons from the Chinese taifun, meaning “ great wind. “ To be classi

22、fied as a hurricane, the storm must have maximum winds of at least 75 mph. These storms are big, many hundreds of miles in diameter. Hurricanes get their power from water vapor as it gives out its stored-up energy. All water vapor gives out heat as it condenses(凝结 )from a gaseous state to a liquid s

23、tate over fixed points on the equator(赤道 ). To make a hurricane, you must have extremely wet, warm air, the kind of air that can only be found in tropical region. Scientists have determined that the heat given out in the process of water condensation can be as high as 95 billion kilowatts per hour.

24、In just one day alone, the storm can produce more energy than many industrialized nations need in an entire year! The problem is that we dont know how to make sure such great energy work for us. Predicting the path of a hurricane is one of the most difficult tasks for forecasters. It moves at a typi

25、cal speed of 15 mph. But not always. Some storms may race at twice this speed, then suddenly stop and remain in the same location for several days. It can be maddening(发疯的 )if you live in a coastal area that may be hit. The biggest advance in early detection is continuous watch from weather satellit

26、es. With these, we can see the storms form and track them fully, from birth to death. While they can still kill people and destroy property, hurricanes will never surprise any nation again. A.

39、e southeastern part of the United States. After the white man came, the Cherokees copied many of their ways. One Cherokee named Sequoyah saw how important reading and writing was to the white man. He decided to invent a way to write down the spoken Cherokee language. He began by making word pictures

40、. For each word he drew a picture. But that proved impossiblethere were just too many words. Then he took the 85 sounds that made up the language. Using his own imagination and an English spelling book, Sequoyah invented a sign for each sound. His alphabet proved amazingly easy to learn. Before long

41、, many Cherokees knew how to read and write in their own language. By 1828, they were even printing their own newspaper. In 1830, the U. S. Congress passed a law.
