三、Reading Comprehension

1.Are you aware that you actually possess six senses? The sixth is a muscular sense responsible for directing your muscles intelligently to the exact extent necessary for each action you perform. For example， when you reach for an object， the sensory nerves linking the muscles to the brain stop your hand at the correct spot. This automatic perception of the position of your muscles in relation to the object is your muscular sense in action. Muscles are stringly bundles of fibers varying from one five-thousandth of an inch to about three inches. They have three unique characteristics， they can become shorter and thicker; they can stretch; and they can retract to their original positions. Under a high-powered microscope， muscle tissue is seen as long， slender cells with a grainy texture like wood. More than half of a person‘s body is composed of muscle fibers， most of which are involuntary—in other words， work without conscious direction. The voluntary muscles， those that we move consciously to perform. particular actions， number more than five hundred. Women have only 60 to 70 percent as much muscle as men for their body mass. That is why an average woman can’t lift as much， throw as far， or hit as hard as an average man.  According to the selection， the muscular sense is responsible for ______.

A.the efficiency of our muscles
B.the normal breathing function
C.directing our muscles intelligently
D.the work of only our involuntary muscles

2. Intelligent use of the muscles means that ________.

A.one always knows what his muscles are doing
B.one performs simple actions whithout working
C.one‘s muscles are used only to the extent necessary for each action they perform
D.one improves muscular action consciously

3. Muscles are unique fibers because， they can ________.

A.contract
B.stretch
C.retract
D.do all of the above

4. Under a microscope， muscle cells appear to be _______.

A.textured like wood
B.colored like wood
C.smooth and red
D.short and thick

5. According to the selection more than half of a person‘s body is composed of ______.

A.voluntary muscles
B.involuntary muscles
C.muscle fibers
D.sensory nerves

6.Imagine aguitar so tiny that you can ’t seeit with the human eye, but you can hearsound whe n its strings are pulled. Some people say the future is big, but when it comes to technology, the world is getting smaller. Nanotechnology( 纳米技术 )is the science that deals with doing things in a very small way, and it is being studied and developed all over the world. Micro-machines too small to been seen by the eye are being designed to do many things. And these machines no larger than in diameter than a human hair, are extremely powerful. Many scientists say nanotechnology will produce the next industrial revolution( 工业革命 ). Nano comes from the Greek word dwarf . A nanometer is one-billion of a meter, The period of the end of this sentence can contain about 100 micrometers, which in equal to 100,000 nanometers.To understandthis new technology, we have to get rid of the normal ideas of size and strength. Minute( 微 小 的 ) robots , called “ nanorobots ” are being developed in the revolutionize manufacturing. Instead of cars being produced on assembling line, for example, scientist predict that carscan be built in a giant container into which raw material and machines have beenplaced. Thousands of nanorobots will direct the processandtell the machine what to do. Micro-machines can also be used to make our environment safer. Today, poison chemicals are stored in containers or transported by trucks or trains. This is sometimes result in dangerous spills. But with nanotechnology, manufacturers could have their own tiny chemical factories. The produce would be no bigger than a sugar cube and would manufacture exactly the amount of chemicals neededat the moment. No chemicals would needto be stored. The workplace would be safer,and the environment would be cleaner.  The author mentions guitar at the beginning of the passagein order to _________.
