29、make money. CBeautifully cut grass, elegant (雅致的) white clothes, cheering fans and exciting matches make Wimbledon, in London, the home of tennis.Last Monday, the famous British tournament (锦标赛) opened at the All England Lawn Tennis Club. It is the third Grand Slam tournament of the tennis season. W
30、imbledon comes after the Australian Open and the French Open, and is followed by the US Open.As the oldest tennis tournament in the world, Wimbledon is famous for its special rules and traditions. The players clothing, including their shoes, must be entirely white.In 2002, the Russian player Anna Ko
31、urnikova was forced to change from her black shorts into another pair on court. Between 1988 and 1990, US legend Andre Agassi refused to play because of the all-white rule.The UKs unpredictable summer weather is part of the tournament. If it begins to rain, players and fans have to wait patiently fo
32、r it to stop. Then, they cheer when the covers come off the grass courts.Many British fans do not think the courts should have a roof, because they want to keep tradition.Wimbledon is not just famous for great tennis matches.

33、kilos of strawberries and 7,000 liters of cream are eaten.Many British people are very proud of the tournament, but disappointment is another Wimbledon tradition for loyal (忠实的) fans of British players.

37、 made a new kind of sub-marine (潜水艇), called the Seaglider, last week.The robotic submarine was developed by re-searchers at the University of Washington. It is about 1.8 meters long and weighs about 52 kilograms. It moves through water at a speed of up to 20-25 kilo-meters a day and can stay at sea
38、 for up to six months before needing a battery recharged. This special character results from its special propulsion system (动力系统). Unlike a traditional submarine, the Seaglider does not have a propeller (螺旋桨). It has an air tank that is emptied and filled to adjust (调整) depth, as well as a pair of
39、wings that help to guide and lead the submarine.A traditional submarine, on the other hand, “puts water inside tanks to make it heavier, or it will expel (排出) the water to make it lighter,” explained Frederick, a professor at the University of Washington.Each time the Seaglider comes to the surface,
40、 it sends the data which it collects to its controllers by satellite. Operators can also send the submarine new information. For example, they can change its course in their office through giving the computer orders.Seagliders are already being used for scientific re-search, such as environmental st
41、udies. iRobot also hopes to sell the submarine to the military (军队). At $100,000 each, the Seaglider is a cheap way to keep an eye on the ocean.“These things can go out there and monitor (监控) large areas of ocean because theyre very persistent. They can go for thousands of miles on their own. At the
42、 same time, you can tell them to stay in one place and they can circle,” says Helen Greiner, chairwoman of iRobot. “This is science fiction stuff in many ways, but its really out there and working.”68. Unlike a traditional submarine, the Seaglider _.A. is only 1.8 meters long and weighs 52 kilograms
43、B. has an air tank to adjust depth instead of a propellerC. can travel at a speed of 150 kilometers a day D. can be used to do environmental research69. When the Seaglider comes to the surface, it will _.A. change its battery B. send the data to its controllersC. force out a lot of water D. stay in
44、one place70. Nowadays, the Seaglider is being used only _.A. by the military B. in science fictionC. by the government D. in scientific research71. It can be inferred from the passage that the Seaglider _.A. can change its course itself B. doesnt need a battery rechargedC. doesnt have a long life D.
45、 is not driven by a human beingEComputers have been used in teaching for more than twenty years. But a new book says that only now are they changing education. And it predicts that a lot more is about to happen.The book is called “Disrupting Class: How Disruptive Innovation Will Change the Way the W
46、orld Learns.” “Disruptive Innovation” is a theory (理论) developed by lead author Clayton Christensen, a professor at the Harvard Business School. He says organizations almost always use new, creative technology only to continue what they already do.New technology should change organizations, he says,
47、 and disrupt them in a good way. They should use the technology to do things differently for example, to serve more needs. The book says the needed disruptive force in education is computer-based learning.Michael Horn, another author of “Disrupting Class”, told us about a Boston public school that h
48、e visited. Every student at Lilla G. Frederick Middle School in Dorchester, Massachusetts, has a laptop computer. One class was learning about storms. Michael Horn says the laptops made it possible to truly individualize (使个人化) the lessons, to divide materials by ability level and learning style. At the end, the
