The weather is getting hotter. You are thirsty playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you are drin king. Something that looks cool may not be good fo r your health.
There are plenty of "energy drinks" on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great!
But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine (咖啡因) in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much.
Caffeine makes your heart（心脏）beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited(限制) its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping an d can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.

Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The program works because everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You’ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are.
The eye-recognition(眼睛识别) program is already being tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain and France. Soon, this technology(技术) will change all other ways of finding out who people are.
However, scientists are working on other systems. Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hands or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your fingers.
Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don’t change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the program can be up to
94％ correct, depending on(依靠) how good the technology is. Some programs may only be right 51％ of the time. In Britain, it was found that 91％ of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.
In the future your computer will be looking at you in the eye. So smile!
42. What is the advantage of using the eye-recognition program?
A. You needn’t use a machine.
B. You needn’t remember a number.
C. You needn’t look at the machine.
D. You needn’t take some money with you.
43. How does the eye-recognition program work?
A. You type in your number.B. You show your ID card.
C. You look at the machine. D. You say your name.
44.Why can the eye-recognition program be up to 94％ correct?
A. Because eyes hardly change.
B. Because hands or fingers can get dirty.
C. Because people like the idea of the progra m.
D. Because the program is widely used around the world.
45. Which recognition program has been already in use?
A. Remembering eyes.
B. Remembering smells.
C. Remembering fingerprints.
D. Remembering the shape of faces.
四、任务型阅读 （共10小题，每小题1分，计10分）
阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成表格中所缺信息，每空一词。
Who help you most in your everyday life, families, charities, or friends? Don’t forget about your neighbours! Neighbours help you more than anyone else in your daily life. So it is important to have good neighbours.
What does it take to be a good neighbour? Here is some advice.
Good fences (栅栏) make good neighbours. One of the most important things in being a good neighbour is to respect (尊重) a person’ s privacy (隐私). If you go rushing over as soon as new neighbours move in, they may think you are going to come over at all hours of the day, not respecting their privacy.
It is always a good idea to be friendly to everyone in the neighbourhood. This can not only put you on good terms (关系和睦) with them, but will also be a kind of protection for your family and home. If you wave as they drive by or offer a friendly hello while they are out to work, they will think you respect them. If you are friendly to them, they are much more likely to watch out for anything wrong going on around your home while you are out and let you know if anything happens.
Another way of being a good neighbour is to be helpful in their hour of need. If you see that they are in need of a helpi ng hand, it is good to offer your help. They will do the same if you are in trouble.
In a word, if you respect a person’s privacy, treat them kindly and be helpful when you see they are in need, you will be a great neighbour and anyone would be happy to have you next door!
(46) on how to be a good neighbour
(47) are good neighbours important?Because they can help you (48) in your daily life.
How to be a good neighbour?Respect others’ privacyDon’t rush over as soon as new neighbours (49)
