his brother's farm. They did so, and the next morning the farmer began to wonder where he
should plant it.

delicious fruit before it is ripe. If I plant it close to the road, passersby will see it and take away
the apples--but if I plant it too near the door of my house, my children may pick the fruit.
after he had thought the matter over, he planted the tree behind his barn （谷仓）.

3．根据短文内容选择正确答案。


C

Grace, usually known as the Home of Microsoft, is inside an office building in Redmond,
Washington. Once you come into the building, you will feel that you're in a modern and future
home.

When you enter the building, Grace's voice, coming from a hidden speaker, tells you your
messages. In the kitchen, you set a bag of flour（面粉） on a flat stone table. Grace sees what
you're doing and makes a menu of flour-based foods on the table. Once you choose one, Grace
gives you ingredients（配料）.

There's also a notice board in the kitchen made of “intelligent（智能的） cloth” that works
like a touch screen computer. You can deal with postcards and invitations and surf the net with
the touch of a finger. The invitations could be encoded（编码）. You can deal with them on the
computer. It's part of Microsoft's Smart Personal Objects Technology, whose aim is to make every
object more efficient（有效率的）.

“The day when your house becomes a member of your family is not far,” says Pam Heath, a
manager of Microsoft. At the Andersen Windows Company, Jay Libby imagines that windows
made of intelligent glass can be changed into TVs.

“Nobody wants a television set,” says Libby. “What you want is the service it provides.” If the
TV isn't improved, it will disappear in the future.

Home entertainment is one consideration for the future. At the Georgia Institute of
Technology in Atlanta, scientists are designing systems that will allow old people to live better on
their own. So Grandma's home can be cleverly designed to recognize（识别） her ways of
waking, sleeping and movement. Family members will be told any change by their computers.

（1）We can know from the passage that Grace _________.


A. is an idea known as the Microsoft Home B. is a machine that works like a TV

C. can understand what its master does D. can cook meals for its master

（2）According to the passage, all the following are true EXCEPT________.


A. Grace can help you in the kitchen

B. you can use the computer with a touch screen

（4）Which would be the best title for the text?


A. Modern Home B. Popular Home C. Future Home D. Smart Home

【答案】 （1）C

（2）C

（3）A

（4）D

【解析】【分析】你走进厨房，Gra ce会告诉你相关的留言，你看见面粉，Grace会给你提
供面食的菜单，你选择一个菜单，Grac e会给你相关的配料，这些都是智能家庭给我们带
来的便利，高效。在未来智能家庭还会提供更多更便利 的科技，计算机正改变着我们的生
活。


（1）推理判断。根据第一段的描述和第二段tells you your messages告诉你信息； makes a
menu of flour-based foods on the table制定面食菜单； gives you ingredients给你配 料等，可
知Grace应该是一台家庭智能机器，它会看懂你做的事情，并提供必要的帮助，故选C。< br>
（2）推理判断。根据第二段在厨房的活动可知A是对的；根据第二段 that works like a
touch screen computer和You can deal with them on the computer可知B是对的；根据第三
段 windows made of intelligent glass can be changed into TVs用智能玻璃做 成的Windows可以
变成电视，并没有要取代电视的意思，故C是错误的；根据第四段 If the TV isn’t improved,
it will disappear in the future可知如果电视没有改进，它在将来会消失，故D也是对的。因
此选C。

（3）推理判断。根据最后一段Home entertainment is one consideration for the future和
scientists are designing systems that will allow old people to live better on their own可知科学家
们正努力使未来的建筑智能化。故选A。

（4）主旨大意。根据本 文举到的例子“智能厨房”可知，未来的家庭智能化必将是一种趋
势。故选D.智能家庭。

5．阅读理解

Great changes have taken place in family life because of science and industry（工业）. In the
past, when most Americans lived on farms, the typical family had many children. In a farm family,
parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Usually, uncles and aunts lived nearby.
But when industry became more important than agriculture in American life, families became
smaller because industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land and move
again whenever necessary. And large families cannot move from place to place as smaller families.
So, at present people tend to have smaller families.

In the future, because of industrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more
often than now, so families will be even smaller. The typical family may remain childless and
consist only of a man and a woman. A small number of families may take raising children as their
chief work. At the same time they may also raise other people's children, leaving those families
free to move from job to job.

（1）Which of the following topics is discussed in the passage?

A. The development of science and industry in America.

B. The influence of science and industry on American families.

C. Harmful effect of industrialization.

D. Social problems resulting from the highly- developed science and industry in America.

C. Families of the past and the future. D. Families of the past, the present and the future.

A. Children tend to leave their parents and grandparents when they grow up.

B. People stop caring for children.

C. The need for workers who are able to move at any time has been increasing.

D. Both old and young people prefer to live by themselves.

（4）What can you infer from the passage?

A. Science and industry have caused thousands of families to split（破裂）.

B. Children do not live with their parents or grandparents.

C. Large families can hardly survive in modern society.

D. Americans are very choosy about their jobs.

【答案】 （1）B

9．阅读理解

In your school, are you allowed to choose the subjects you want to learn? Of course, the
answer is

In America there is a school trying something new. At a high school in Florida, students will be
able to choose their own classes. We all know that some students are better at some subjects
than others. Some students plan to go on to college, while others do not. At this school students
are able to find subjects they are interested in, and possibly even find the field（领域）they

would like to go into after finishing school. They are allowed to choose a subject like biology,
math, a foreign language, or study skills like car repair（修理）.

Some people think this is a good idea, because it helps students think about what they want to
do in the future, and the school helps to give them the knowledge and skills needed to get there.
They say that giving the students the chance to choose their own classes makes high school more
interesting. Others disagree. They think it will make it difficult for students to discover different
possibilities（潜力）.They point out that fourteen-year-old teenagers are too young to know
what they want to do in the future.

What do you think? Would you like to be able to choose your own classes? Many useful

Bike-sharing has swept across China, with an increasing number of people choosing bike riding
instead of driving. The bike that the service company provides has GPS or Bluetooth on it, and

13．阅读理解

Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right
family, and others Believe that success mostly Comes down to luck. I'm not going to say luck,
talent, and Circumstances（境遇）don't Come into play because they do. Some people are born
into the right family while others are Born with great intelligence, and that's just the reality of
how life is.

However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then make it more practical. And,
vesides that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10, 000 hours
studying and practising. To vecome great at certain things, it'll require even more time, which
most people won't put in.

This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you
don't enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you give up
before you ever become good at it.

When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know
that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there. It's sometimes easy to think they got
lucky or they were Born with some unusual talent, But thinking that way does you no good, and
there's a huge Chance that you're wrong anyway.

No matter what you do, if you want to Become great at it, you need to work day in and day out,
almost to the point of addiction（入迷）, and over a long period of time. If you're not willing to
put in the time and work, don't expect to receive any rewards. Hard work won't guarantee（保
证）you the level of success you may want, But it will guarantee that you will Become really good
at whatever it is you put all that work into.

（1）Paragraph 1 mainly talks about __________.

A. the reasons for success

B. the meaning of success

C. the standards of success

D. the importance of success

（2）The underlined word

A. putting in more time

B. succeeding in life

C. Being good at something

D. setting a practical goal

（3）Successful people suggest doing what one loves Because __________.

A. work makes him feel pain

B. he is likely to enjoy his work

C. he gives up his work easily

D. it takes a lot of time to succeed

（4）What is the main purpose of the passage?

A. To explain that luck or talent leads to success.

B. To tell us that one cannot succeed without time and practice.

C. To show us that having a goal is the main reason to success.

D. To describe that successful people like to show their great skills.

【答案】 （1）A

（2）D

（3）B

14．阅读理解

Technology is everywhere. We see it any place we go and, in fact, almost all of us carry some
piece of technology with us every time we leave the house. What I always forget, though, is just
how useful and powerful technology can be when we want to help others.

There is not a single room in my house that does not have some electronic devices （设备）
lying around in it. Whenever I am at home, I am almost always using at least one electronic
device. If you walked into my living room on any given day, you would find that, first, I have the
television on. At the same time, I usually have my laptop resting on my knee, or I will be using my
mobile phone. Even when I'm not at home I am always using my phone, and at work or in cafés, I
sit down and connect to the local wireless network on my laptop.

I must say that I waste a lot of time on the computer and the time I spend on it could be much
better spent if I were to take up a little online volunteering.

The technology we carry about everywhere can have a great power to do good for the world
and to help others and recently I discovered just how much online volunteering there is to do in
the world. From using your language skills to do translations, to developing and managing
projects and helping with IT work, there is so much that so many people can do to help people in
their own countries and across the world. The United Nations, in fact, has a huge page with


This work can support the poor and help charities who cannot pay for staff members. Many
organizations only require you to work an hour a week﹣some even less. And the support
provided by online volunteers can really help make a difference to those in need.

A. is a computer engineer

15．阅读理解

When you enter my home for the first time, you will always be impressed with a small and
white envelope（信封）. No name, no address. It has hung on our Christmas tree for about 10
years.

It all began because my husband Mike hated Christmas. He didn't hate the true meaning of
Christmas, but the commercial（商业的） way of it, spending too much on the usual Christmas
gifts, such as rushing into a store to buy a tie for Uncle Harry.

Knowing he felt this way, I decided not to buy the usual gifts, such as shirts and sweaters. I
reached for something special for Mike. The idea came in an unusual way.

Our son Kevin, 12, was wrestling（摔跤） at the school. Before Christmas there was a match
against a team helped by a city church, mostly poor kids. As the match began, I was surprised to
see the other team wrestling only wearing the old clothes because they couldn't afford the
wrestling uniforms, while our boys in their blue and gold uniforms. Of course, we ended up with
beating them.

Mike, seated beside me, shook his head sadly,
they could if they had worn the uniforms. They have talent for wrestling, but losing like this could
take the heart right out of them.

Mike loved kids-all kids and he knew them, having trained kids football and baseball. At that
time, I thought of the idea for the gift.

That afternoon, I went to a store and bought some wrestling uniforms and sent them to the
city church for the kids without leaving my name.

On Christmas Eve, I put the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Mike what I had done
and telling him that this was his gift from me. His smile was the greatest thing about Christmas
that year and the next years.

You see, we lost Mike now. But every Christmas Eve I would put an envelope on the tree, and in
the morning, three more joined it. Each of our children had secretly put an envelope on the tree
for their dad.

Mike's spirit, like the Christmas spirit, will always be with us.

（1）Mike hated Christmas because he .

A. disliked receiving the same gifts every year

B. didn't like people spending too much money on gifts

C. didn't understand the true meaning of Christmas

D. hated rushing into a store to buy a tie for Uncle Harry

（2）We can infer（推断） from the passage that the writer is a（n） .

A. brave and outgoing man B. loving and patient man

C. strict and serious woman D. understanding and kind woman

（3）The sentence underlined in Paragraph 5 means .

A. they didn't have talent because they lost the match

B. they wouldn't accept the result because of the old clothes

C. they might lose heart after they were badly beaten in this way

D. they tried to cheer themselves up even if they failed in the match

（4）It can be learnt from the passage that .

A. the writer sends gifts to children every Christmas

B. the children now prefer new toys to the envelope

C. the white envelope was a gift from the poor kids

D. Mike's spirit will have a strong influence on his children forever

【答案】 （1）D
