Is it difficult for you to get up in the morning? Hiroyuki’s bed will solve your problem! Here is how it works.
The bed is connected to an alarm clock. First, the alarm clock rings. You have a few minutes to wake up. Next, a tape recorder in the bed plays soft music. The tape recorder in Hiroyuki’s bed plays a recording of his girlfriend. She whispered in a soft voice, “Wake up, darling, please.” After minutes later, Hiroyuki hears a recording of his boss. His boss shouts, “Wake up at once , or you’ll be late !”
If you don’t get up after the second recording, a mechanical “foot” in the bed will kick you in the head. The bed waits a few more minutes. What! You’re still in bed! Slowly the top of the bed rises higher and higher. The foot of the bed goes lower and lower. Finally you slide off the bed and onto the floor. You are out of bed awake!
Hiroyuki’s bed is not in stores. There is only one bed--- the bed Hiroyuki made for a contest. Maybe someday a company will make Hiroyuki’s bed and sell it in stores. Maybe people will buy millions of beds. Then Hiroyuki will be rich. If the bed makes Hiroyuki rich, he won’t need to work, and he won’t need to get up early!
【小題1】 The bed is useful to the people _______.

A.who can’t sleep wellB.who can’t get up early
C.who go to bed earlyD.who go to bed late
【小題2】The bed is not connected to _______ .
A.a(chǎn)n alarm clockB.a(chǎn) tape recorderC.a(chǎn) TVD.a(chǎn) mechanical “foot”
【小題3】 What will finally happen to Hiroyuki if he doesn’t get up ?
A. He will slide onto the floor .
B. A tape recorder will play a recording of his boss .
C. A mechanical “foot” will kick him in the head .
D. The bed will rise higher and higher
【小題4】Which is TRUE of the following sentences ?
A. Hiroyuki’s company has made many such beds .
B. Hiroyuki’s bed is the only one made for a contest .
C. Hiroyuki has made a lot of money .
D. Hiroyuki needn’t get up early now .


【小題1】B
【小題2】C
【小題3】A
【小題4】B

解析試題分析:

【小題2】通過The bed is connected to an alarm clock. a tape recorder in the bed和a mechanical “foot” in the bed 可知,這種床沒有和電視相連。所以本題選C。

Frogs are animals that can live both in water and on land. There are more than 5,000 kinds of frogs on the earth. The earliest known frogs lived about 190 million years ago and the frogs today still look the same. Here are some fun things that you might not know about frogs. Enjoy!
The Biggest and the Smallest Frogs
Some frogs can be very big. The biggest kind of frog is the Goliath Frog in West Africa. Its body can be nearly 30cm long, about the size of a large cat. The Gold Frog and the Poison Frog are the smallest frogs in the world. They are less than 1cm long. Though the Poison Frog is very small, it is not weak at all. It is dangerous. Any animal that eats it will die very soon.
The Best Jumpers
Frogs are very good at jumping. They developed jumping legs so that they would not be eaten by other large animals. Using their big strong legs, more frogs can jump over 20 times their own length. The Australian Rocket Frog can even jump over 2m, which is 50 times its body length (5.5 cm). That might be the reason why frogs are called the best jumpers on the earth.
The Cryogenic Animal
Some frogs like the Common Wood Frog have a special ability to live in very cold places. When the temperature goes down, they become ice frogs. 2/3of their body water freezes. Their hearts stop, and their breathing stops too. You may think they are dead, but in fact they are not. Maybe we humans can learn the way that the frogs do for medical purpose.
【小題1】The earliest frogs lived about          million years ago.

A.20
B.30
C.50
D.190
【小題2】      can jump over 2m.
A.The Goliath Frog
B.The Common Wood Frog
C.The Poison Frog
D.The Australian Rocket Frog
【小題3】What will happen to a Common Wood Frog at very low temperature?
A.It will die very soon.
B.It will be an ice frog.
C.It will become dangerous.
D.It will become very small.
