AWhat will our future look like? People have always been wondering about this question. Go on reading this text and you will know what will happen in the next fifty years.How can we know what the future will look like? To be able to understand the future, you must know the past. What has taken us to where we are today and what has changed along the way? The world has changed a lot in the last 150 years, but we humans are driven by the same basic needs as we were 150 years ago. Will this change in the next 150 years? No.What inventions have really made a difference in the last 150 years? In the past years, the inventions that have affected most people around the world for everyday living are the telephone, electricity, radio, television, computer, the car and the ability to communicate through the Internet. Then we of course have a lot of inventions that have made life easier, like new medicine, faster transports etc. In general, human beings have been working hard in the last 150 years to make the inventions so that they will be able to get control of the time and the world. Since there is still much to do in this area, this will be the focus at least for the next 150 years.Why do we need to predict the future? Predicting the future is important for two reasons: first we need to start to think about what kind of what kind of future we would like for ourselves and to pass on to the next generation, and then we need to know what decisions we need to make today that will give the best result in the future.1.What does the author try to tell us in the second paragraph?A.Humans will no longer enjoy food in the future.B.The world will be completely changed tomorrow.C.The world is quite different from what it was.D.Our basic needs will not change in the future.2.Our past inventions have made __________.A.our daily life more stressfulB.it easy for us to live work less timeD.our work easily done3.What will humans do in order to keep the world under control?A.To focus on making more inventions.B.To produce more cars for transportation.C.To spend more time working on the Internet.D.To work much harder to achieve their goals.4.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A.What result we’ll receiv e in the future.B.The decisions we make for our future.C.The two reasons of predicting the futureD.The importance of predicting the future.BCELL PHONES ARE THE NEW CIGARETTESWhen you sit down, you pick it out. When you are in your car, you reach for it．When you’re at work, you take a break to have a moment alone with it. When you get into a lift, you play with it．Cigarettes? Cup of coffee? No, it’s the third most addictive thing in modern life, the cell phone．And experts say it is becoming more difficult for many people to curb their desire to hug it more tightly than most of their personal relationships．With its shiny surface, its smooth and satisfying touch, its air of complexity, the cell phone connects us to the world even as it disconnects us from people three feet away．In just the past couple of years, the cell phone has challenged individuals, employers, phone makers and counselors（顾问）in ways its inventors in the late 1940s never imagined．The costs are becoming even more evident, and I don’t mean just the monthly bill．Dr．Chris Knippers, a counselor at the Betty Ford Center in Southern California, reports that the overuse of cell phones has become a social problem not much different from other harmful addictions: a barrier to one-on-one personal contact, and an escape from reality．Sounds extreme, but we’ve all witnessed the evidence: the person at a restaurant who talks on the phone through an entire meal, ignoring his kids around the table; the woman who talks on the phone in the car, ignoring her husband; the teen who texts messages all the way home from school, avoiding contact with kids all around him． Is it just rude, or is it a kind of unhealthiness? And pardon me, but how is this improving the quality of life?Jim Williams, an industrial sociologist based in Massachusetts, notes that cell-phone addiction is part of a set of symptoms in a widening gulf of personal separation．He points to a study by Duke University researchers that found one-quarterof Americans say they have no one to discuss their most important personal business with．Despite the growing use of phones, e-mail and instant messaging, in other words, Williams says studies show that we don’t have as many friends as our parents. “Just as more information has led to less wisdom, more acquaintances via the Internet and cell phones have produced fewer friends,” he says．If the cell phone has truly had these effects, it’s because it has become very widespread．Consider that in 1987, there were only 1 million cell phones in use．Today, something like 300 million Americans carry them．They far outnumber wired phones in the United States．5. Which of the following best explains the title of the passage?A. Cell phone users smoke less than they used to.B. More people use cell phones than smoke cigarettes.C. Cell phones have become as addictive as cigarettes.D. Using cell phone is just as cool as smoking cigarettes.6. The underlined word “curb” in Paragraph 2 means __________.A. controlB. ignoreC. developD. rescue7. The example of a woman talking on the phone in the car supports the idea that _______.A. women use cell phones more often than menB. talking on the phone while driving is dangerousC. cell phones make one-on-one personal contact easyD. cell phones do not necessarily bring people togetherCThe Exterminating AngelDirector: Luis BunuelCountry/Date : Mexico/1962 （black and white)Introduction : A party is organized in a high class society house. Many people aredrinking and eating．I t’s getting late, but nobody is leaving．Even th ough the door is open, people seem to be locked in the house．They can’t leave either the day or onthe following days．So a rescue began．The NetDirector: Irwin WinklerCountry/Date: U．S．A．/1995Introduction: Angela Bennettt is a computer programmer who has devoted her life tocomputers and the Internet．She spends hours and hours in front of th e screen．She does everything over the Internet, and she has some clo se friends in a chat room,though she has never talked to her neighbors．Kung Fu PandaDirector : Mark Osborne & John StevensonCountry/Date : U．S．A．/2008Introduction: The leading character is a panda whose name is Po．He i s lazy first but he has a great dream—to be a kung fu master．Tomake his dream come true, he goes to a faraway temple to learn kung fu from a master．However, one of his brothers,Tai Long wants to become the kung fu master, killing many of his br others even themaster．So Po fights against Tai Long and defeats him, The film is g ood especiallyfor kids．Life is BeautifulDirector: Roberto BenigniCountry/Date : Italy/1998Introduction: In 1939, during World WarⅡ in Italy, Guido, a hopeful man, the main character fell in love with Dora, and they got married．Five years later, their lives changed．Guido and Joshua were taken by the Nazis（纳粹）to a concentration camp and Dora also went there with her husband and son．At that place, Guido tried his best to save his son’s life in a special way．8.Who is the director of The Net?A. Irwin WinklerB. Luis BunuelC. Mark OsborneD. Roberto Benigni9.Which film is black and white?A. Life is BeautifulB. The Exterminating AngelC. Kung Fu PandaD. The Net10.Which film is especially fit for kids?A. The Exterminating AngelB. The NetC. Kung Fu PandaD. Life is Beautiful11.What can we learn about Life is Beautiful?A. It’s about a rescue of people who can’t leave a house.B. The main character is absorbed in computer.C. It was made in America in 1995.D. The story is set in World WarⅡ.DYou have never seen him, but they're with you every time you fly. They record where you are going, how fast you're traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. Their ability to withstand (经受得住)almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a magic book. They're known as the black box.When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India ocean June 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. So when a French submarine (潜水艇) detected the device's homing signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed.In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for a black box, which became a requirement on all U.S. commercial flights by 1960. Early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the device （装置） was completely redesigned and moved to the back of the plane – the arealeast affected by impact – from its original position in the landing wells (起落架舱). The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility.Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots' conversations, and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircraft's final moments. Placed in an insulated ( 隔绝的) case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can withstand massive force and temperatures up to 2,000℉. When in deep water, they're also able to emit signals from depths of 20,000 ft. Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crashed near Brazil on June 1,2009, are in water nearly that deep, but statistics say they're still likely to turn up. In the approximately 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years, only one plane's black boxes were never recovered.12．In Paragraph 1，the author wants to say the black box_________.A. comes from a comic bookB. is an necessary device on an airplaneC. can prevent disastersD. can control the function of an airplane13．From the black box on the Yemeni airliner_________could be found.A. the scene of the crash and the degree of the damageB. the total number of passengers on boardC. homing signals sent by the pilot before the crashD. data for analyzing the cause of the crash14．Why was the black box redesigned in 1965?A. The early models often got damaged in the crash.B. New materials became available by that time.C. Too much space was needed for its device.D. The early models didn't provide the needed data.15．What do we know about the black boxes from Air France Flight 447?A. They have stopped sending homing signals.B. There is an urgent need for them to be reconstructed.C. There is still a good chance of their being recovered.D. They were destroyed somewhere near Brazil.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AMy dad is a wonderful man. He worked hard all his life and has never let me down. If one person influenced me to go to college and become a better person, it’s him.I moved in with my dad a few years ago. Every morning he would wake up at 4 am. He would do some writing and then leave for work. He would get off work at 5 pm and spend the remaining day with his family. Any time I needed him, he was there for me. He was a great role model. My dad is a typical family man. He bends over backwards to support his family. He supported us financially and emotionally.My dad is the reason why I try to support my son as best as I can. He is also the reason why I have decided to spend less time with friends and more time with family. Now I’m a much better woman. I have a son of my own. I once worked hard on my studies in school and now do well in my work. My dad became a manager in less than three years and I hope to do the same. I have worked for the same company for one and a half years now. I have got two raises.I remember I worked extremely hard in school. I never missed a day and I never went to school late. I graduated in July two years ago. This was only the first step to becoming a psychologist. My father is an expert in this field. But I’m proud that I never rely on his reputation.My father is more than 2,000 miles away, but I never forget what he did for us. Every time work gets really hard, I think of my dad.

I called her last week and found out that she wasn’t doing well at work, which would make the following year a little more challenging. After hanging up the phone, I decided to offer to help her, but I couldn’t think of what to do. However, opportunities present themselves when you’re not even looking for.A few days later, some friends and I happened to be eating desserts at a restaurant in her city. As we were looking at the menu, I turned to my friends and asked them if they wanted to join in a game. After explaining the idea, they decided to take 15 minutes to make someone’s day. We ordered an extra dessert, wrote a note, added a smile card and were off. However, there was one problem: I had no idea where she was.Therefore, it was time to rely on the network. I called up a friend and got him to call her to see what she was doing and found out that she was at work.We drove to her work place and one of my friends became the delivery(投递)person. He went in to look for my friend, found her, didn’t really answer her questions and walked out, saying he’s simply delivery person.He ran out quickly and I bent down as we drove by to make sure she didn’t follow him out.

She decided to change the boy’s name because he always did poorly in study. She has had him tutored after school, but he always earns low marks in school. So Shi turned to a name-giving master. “I hope the special recipe could bring him good luck,” the mother said. Teachers in the city say a few students in every school, most nearing graduation, change their names at the start of every new semester.A naming agency said it has found names for nearly 1,000 students since setting up the shop in 1998. The store said its professionals analyzed the defects （缺点） of a person’s original name, and suggested a new one based on the person’s birthday and other fortune-telling skills. Buying a new name costs between 800 yuan and 10,000 yuan. Parents also have to register the name at the local police department for a small fee. This will legally change their child’s name on all documents, including ID cards and passports.Hu Jie, a university student who changed her name in her final yearof high school, said the new name confused her. “I always had no idea who my classmates were calling when they used my new name,” Hu said, adding that she wished she had kept her old name.But parents may be ignoring one thing: name changes might encourage kids to believe that fate is more important than their own efforts.36.

Wales, particularly South Wales, became a melting pot of European nationalities and cultures. At first workers from England, Ireland and the rural areas of Wales rushed into the coalfields of South Wales. By 1911, workers from Ireland, Italy and Spain had joined the industrial workforce there. Many of these newcomers were prepared to work for less pay.But during this period, workers, dissatisfied with regular pay cuts, poor safety, the growing trend of employers to pay workers withtokens (代币), which could only be spent in the company store, returned to the land. In 1891, the rural population of Wales was about 616,000 and by 1911 just over 649,000 people lived and worked in these areas.The rural population continues to grow slowly even today. People from richer parts of the UK, particularly southern England, are buying holiday or retirement homes in Wales. In some areas this has led to a shortage of affordable(可负担的) housing for local people. This, combined with the lack of employment prospects in rural Welsh communities, has started a new movement of people in search of jobs and homes into the towns and cities of Wales and to other parts of the UK and Europe.As so many Welsh people have migrated to other countries over the last 200 years, it’s really no surprise that many visitors come to see friends and relatives — there were 229,000 visitors in 1998. These visitors strengthen their links to their land of origin and continue to support the Welsh economy. During the hot summer days, about 28% of the visitors visit the countryside and nearly 70% visit the seaside.41. Why was South Wales so attractive to people in the early 20th century?A.
