If you are not any kind of a longtime A-list New Yorker celebrity like Woody Allen,chances are that you have never experienced,and will never experience-a meal in a legendary(神奇) Italian-American restaurant called Rao’s.
Rao’s,the East Harlem restaurant with a history of more than l00 years,is simply the toughest restaurant to get a reservation in the US, if not the world.Michelin three-star restaurants like elBulli in Spain,often ranked the world’s top restaurant,would sell out the second phone lines opened.But in the case of Rao’s,the phone lines never open.
There are about a dozen tables in the tiny restaurant, and each is spoken for, semi-permanently, as regulars have had their reservations for years, and when they can't use them,they often gift them to friends. The place is so small that the owners rarely have the flexibility to do favors even for people they know.
Since it is always busy,there has never been a need for publicity.The last remarkable national review of the restaurant came from The New York Times more than 35 years ago.It was already tough to get a table at Rao’s but reservations have been non-existent ever sincce the magic review.
According to a critic who is “very, very lucky to have dined at Rao’s a few times,”the experience rivals(堪比)the tasty food.There are no menus at Rao’s, and one of the owners will pull up a chair and run through the massive list of options, allowing people to have diner by mixing and matching nearly any ingredient(原料)with any classical Italian style of cooking. The place doesn’t take credit cards, isn’t open on weekends or for 1unch, and “at some point during your meal the one-room restaurant will almost unavoidably break out in song.” It is truly one of a kind,”the critic wrote.

3.What was Rao’s like before The NewYork Times review?
A.Unique and attractive. B.Tough and greedy.
C.Terrible and unknown. D.Poor and hopeless.
4.Which of the following about Rao’s is true?
A.If yoh want to get a reservation in Rao’s, you’d have to phone ahead of time.
B.Rao’s history is much longer than that of elBulli in Spain.
C.It’s hard fo dine in Rao’s partly because it has a limited number of tables.
D.Only the most famous persons can have the chance to have lunch in Rao's.

When another old cave is discovered in the south of France,it is not usual news.Rather,it is art ordinary event.Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays heed to them.However,when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940,the world was amazed.Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years ago.The scenes show people hunting animals,such as bison or wild cats.Other images show birds and,most noticeably,horses,which appear in more than 300 wall images,by far outnumbering all other animals.
Early artists drawing these animals accomplished a monumental and difficult task.They did not limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or crawling into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex.
Unfortunately,the paintings have been exposed to the destructive action of water and temperature changes,which easily wear the images away.Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances,air movement has also damaged the images inside.
Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light would have destroyed them long ago,many of the images have been destroyed and are barely recognizable.To prevent further damage,the site was closed to tourists in 1963,23 years after it was discovered.
1.What can be the best title for the text?
A.Wild Animals in Art B.Hidden Prehistoric Paintings
C.Exploring Caves RespectfullyD.Determining the Age of French Caves
2.The underlined phrase“pays heed to”in Paragraph 1 probably means _____________.
A.discovers B.watches C.notices D.buys
3.According to the text,which animals appear most often on the cave walls?

C.Painting materials were hard to find.

Researchers have developed new software using smart phones’GPS and imaging abilities that determine the exact location of distant objects as well as monitor the speed and direction of moving objects.The software could eventually allow smart phone-armed soldiers to target the location of their enemies.On the home front,the software could be used by everyone,including golfers judging distance to the green and biologists documenting the location of a rare animal without disturbing it.
“The great advantage of a Smartphone is that it provides so many tools in a single,readily available,relatively inexpensive package,”said Qia Wang,a doctoral student who led the development of the software.“For example,on the battlefield,a soldier needs a rangefinder,compass,GPS and other tools to get information before calling in an air strike.With our software,the soldier can have all those instruments in one device that can be purchased off the shelf.When that soldier returns from War,she can use the same Software to protect her family by clocking a speeder near her children’s school and catching the criminal on video.”
Wang and his colleagues developed their software to locate and track:
Targets of known size—when the size of the target is known.a(chǎn) single image is enough to pinpoint the target’s location.
Targets of unknown size—If the exact size of a target is unknown,the software uses two images to triangulate the location of the target·
Moving targets—By taking a short video of a moving target,the smartphone software can calculate how fast the target is moving and in what direction it is going.
“Currently,our software is limited by the physical abilities of smartphone hardware,but the devices are improving rapidly,”Wang said.“We expect that improvements in GPS accuracy,battery life and camera resolution will allow our software to make even more accurate observations.”
1.From Paragraph 1 we can know that the new software can.
A.determine the speed of moving objects
B.1ocate objects in the distance exactly
C.defend soldiers against their enemies
D.help biologists protect rare animal
2.The example given by Qia Wang is meant to .
A.make an advertisement
B.describe the software briefly
C.show the benefits of the software
D.present the functions of smartphones
3.How does the software calculate the speed of a moving object?
A.By taking a short video.
B.By locating its position.
C.By taking a single image.
D.By measuring real-life size.
4.What’s Qia Wang’s attitude towards the future of the software?
A.Casual. B.Optimistic. C.Cautious.D.Flexible
5.What is the best title of the text?
A.Qia Wang,a Talented Doctoral Student
B.Use Smartphones to Their Full Potential
C.Targeting and Tracking With Smartphones
D.Smartphone-armed Soldiers on the Battlefield
