1．When in Paris，never miss the Eiffel Tower!
In 1887 when the construction of the Eiffel Tower started，more than 300 celebrities including famous writer Maupassant were against the building of this ugly tower．But two years later，the Eiffel Tower became the most classic architecture in the exhibition that year．And now after over 100 years since its building，the tower can bring more than 1.5 billion euros to Paris annually．Almost every visitor to Paris will come to Eiffel to have a bird's eye view for the city．Maybe，such an astonishing change is also beyond the expectation of its designer，Gustave Eiffe1．
Below is some information about visiting the Tower．

2．Although most hitchhikers （搭便車的人） are people，passers-by tend to ignore them because they are cautious about giving rides to strangers．But what will they do if they come across a hitchhiking robot？Will they take it to its destination or will they just leave the helpless machine by the wayside？
That is die answer Canadian professors，David Harris Smith and Frauke Zeller，who study the relationship between humans and technology，are seeking for after they came up with the idea of building a hitchhiking robot．
HitchBOT is built with cheap household items．Thanks to a PC tablet，GPS tracker and camera，hitchBOT not only can send its thoughts and pictures to the general public，but also can answer general questions and keep drivers entertained with small talks．The smart robot is even able to quote interesting facts about the areas it has passed through．
Not surprisingly，many people are doubtful about hitchBOT's ability．Most people think the cute robot will be damaged by someone．Actually，they are all wrong．The robot hitchhiked all the way from Halifax，Nova Scotia，to Victoria，British Columbia，a distance of 3，700 miles．It was first picked up on July 27th by an elderly couple．It not only reached its destination on August 21st，but also had some amazing adventures along the way．It visited national parks，went fishing，went camping，and even attended a wedding where it experienced its first dance and interrupted the bride's speech．
In addition to helping it get to its destination，its Canadian fans have gone out to ensure its safety from covering the robot with a plastic cape （披肩） to help keep it dry to ensuring that it stays healthy with motor oil．
（1）Why is the hitchhiking robot built？
A．To help passers-by reach their destinations．
B．To find out how people might react to it．
C．To see if it will give rides to strangers．
D．To entertain drivers on their way．
（2）The hitchBOT can do all of the following except．
A．talking with the driver
B．dancing with people
C．sending its thoughts and pictures
D．a(chǎn)nswering any question raised
（3）How long did it take the hitchBOT to reach its destination？
A．Nearly a month．
B．Over one month．
C．Two months．
D．One week．
（4）What can we learn about the hitchBOT？
A．It was ignored by an elderly couple．
B．It didn't meet with any danger along the way．
C．It experienced a long and amazing journey．
D．It will be put into the market quickly．組卷：5引用：3難度：0.7 -
3．In today's fiercely competitive business environment，companies need to communicate information concerning a whole range of issues in a clear and precise manner to their customers．This is particularly so in the case of companies which do business in areas such as manufacturing，information technology （IT），engineering products and services-companies whose products and services may not be understood by a customer not familiar with its technical aspects．
These communication materials are prepared in a company these days by "technical writers"-people who can effectively communicate to an intended audience．
Technical writing and writing text-books are poles apart．The former is aimed at those who do not have an in-depth knowledge about a product and therefore should be direct and easy to understand．Too many technical terms would only add to the confusion of the customer．Technical writers first need to understand the technical information themselves，before trying to communicate it in easier language to the customers．Even graduates of English literature are often found wanting when it comes to creative and effective writing．
This simply means that those with a Bachelor's degree in English Literature along with a diploma/degree in Journalism and having a Post Graduate Diploma in Computer Applications （PGDCA） are ideal （理想的） candidates for being employed as technical writers．
A career in technical writing is seen as a good choice for women mainly because it is widely held that women are more gifted in creative writing than men and the job does not involve too much travelling or working at night．
（1）What are "technical writers" supposed to do？
A．To write about the company's products or services in clear，easy language．
B．To write about the company's products using correct technical terms．
C．To effectively communicate to an intended audience by writing letters．
D．To travel around to persuade people to buy the company's products or services．
（2）Which of the following best explains the underlined word "wanting" in Paragraph 3？
A．being needed．
B．wanting to write．
C．hoping to be employed．
D．lacking in ability．
（3）What would happen if many technical terms are used in technical writing？
A．It would sound too formal．
B．It would help engineers a lot．
C．It would confuse the customer．
D．It would produce a better effect．
（4）Who would be the best candidate for a technical writer？
A．A man with degrees in English literature and Journalism and a PGDCA．
B．A female with degrees in English literature and Journalism and a PGDCA．
C．A male graduate of English literature with a diploma in Journalism．
D．A woman with a degree in English literature along with a diploma in Journalism．組卷：0引用：1難度：0.6
