I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought that I would never have that sort of career.I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork.

It is also made out of software.If you come to visit, you’ll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN（个人身份号码）to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When it’s dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings.Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console (控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you.The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.I believe that ten years from now, most new homes will have the systems that I’ve put in my house. T he systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I’ve put in today.I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself ins tead, “ How will I live without them?”64. What does the passage mainly discuss?A.

What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage?A. An IT expert.B. A famous doctor.C. An idealistD. An experienced teacher.DCan a person make it rain? Many people believed that Charles Hatfield could. In the early 1900s, Mr. Hatfield traveled through the United States, Canada, and Mexico bringing rain to farms and cities that suffered from drought. For 30 years, people considered him the greatest rainmaker in North America. In order to make it rain, he used a secret mixture of chemicals that he placed high on wooden towers in special trays(盘). As the chemicals evaporated(蒸发), they attracted rain clouds to the area. Over his career, Mr. Hatfield even offered to help clear the fog from London and to water the Sahara Desert.One of Mr. Hatfield’s most amazing rainmaking accomplishments happened in southern California in 1916. Because he knew that the city of San Diego did not have enough water, Mr. Hatfield offered to give the city a hand with its water problem. He planned to create enough rain to fill the lake behind Morena Dam near the city. Since the time the dam was built, the lake had never been more than half full, but the lake could hold 57 billion liters of water if it were full. Filling the lake would help the city of San Diego with its constant water problems. Mr. Hatfield suggested that if he succeeded in filling the lake with rain water, the city would pay him $10,000. If no rain fell, the city would pay nothing. The city agreed because they had nothing to lose from the business deal, and only paying $10,000 for that much water seemed to be a steal.On January 1, 1916, Mr. Hatfield began his rainmaking procedure. It began to rain four days later The rain continued for the next five days. On January 10, it began to rain more heavily, and the rain continued for the next 10 days! The city of San Diego was flooded. Fifty people died. More than 200 bridges were washed away, and many miles of train tracks were destroyed. However, Mr. Hatfield did succeed in filling the lake. The water was within 12 centimeters of the top of the dam. Mr. Hatfield thought that he had completed his job, so he went to collect his money from the city. However, the city of San Diego backed out of the deal. They said that the rain was an “act of God” and not the work of the rainmaker. Mr. Hatfield tried to sue the city, but he never collected any money for his work.68.What “made” the rain?A. chemicalsB. a damC. a dealD. fog69.What happened when it rained in San Diego in 1916?A. Bridges fell down.B. People died.C. The city flooded,D. All of the above.70. It rained in San Diego for ________.A. 10daysB. 1monthC. 15 daysD. 2 months71.The city didn't pay Mr. Hatfield because they thought that______.A. he didn't fill the lakeB. the rain was an “act of God.”C. the city was destroyedD. people diedEThe days of elderly women doing nothing but cooking huge meals on holidays are gone. Enter the Red Hat Society ---a group holding the belief that old ladies should have fun.“My grandmothers didn’t do anything but keep house and serve everybody. They were programmed to do that,” said Emils Comette, head of a chapter of the 7-year-old Red Hat Society.While men have long spent their time fishing and playing golf, women have sometimes seemed to become unnoticed as they age. But the generation now turning 50 is the baby boomers(生育高峰期出生的人), and the same people who refused their parents’ way of being young are now trying a new way of growing old.If you take into consideration feminism(女权主义), a bit of spare money, and better health for most elderly, the Red Hat Society looks almost inevitable(必然的). In this society, women over 50 wear red hats and purple(紫色的) clothes, while the women under 50 wear pink hats and light purple clothing.“The organization took the idea from a poem by Jenny Joseph that begins: “When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple. With a red hat which doesn’t go,” said Ellen Coo per, who founded the Red Hat Society in 1998. When the ladies started to wear the red hats, they attracted lots of attention.“The point of this is that we need a rest from always doing something for someone else,” Cooper said. “Women feel so ashamed and sorry when they do something for themselves.” This is why chapters are discouraged from raising money or doing anything useful. “We’re a ladies’ play group. It couldn’t be more simple,” added Cooper’s assistant Joe Heywood.72．From the text, we know that th e “baby boomers” are a group of people whoA．have gradually become more noticeable.B．are worried about getting old too quickly.C．are enjoying a good life with plenty of money to spend.D．tried living a different life from their parents when they were young.73．It could be inferred from the text that members of the Red Hat Society areA．interested in raising money for social work.B．programmers who can plan well for their future.C．believers in equality between men and women.D．good at cooking big meals and taking care of others.74．Who set up the Red Hat Society ?A．Emily Comette. B．Ellen Cooper. C．Jenny Joseph. D. Joe Heywood. 75．Women join the Red Hat Society becauseA．they want to stay young.B．they would like to appear more attractive.C．they would like to have fun and live for themselves.D．they want to be more like their parents.第五部分信息匹配(2*5=10)根据短文内容，从A-F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余项。
