AMy house is made out of wood, glass and stone. 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 (电子身份证) 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. The 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 instead, "How will I live without them?"21. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. Ways to develop a new system.B. The function of the PIN.C. A home for the future.D. Easy life in the future.22. The purpose of the fourth paragraph is to .A. let readers know why his ideas are newB. explain the functions of the PIN and the consoleC. explain the importance of the PIN and the consoleD. let readers know how special his house is23. What is the author most likely to be according to the passage?A. An IT expert.B. A famous doctor.C. An idealist.D. An experienced teacher.BTHE BRONTE FAMILYYorkshire, England was the setting for two great novels(小说) of the 19th century. These were Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre and Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights. The youngest sister, Anne, was also a gifted novelist, and her books have the same extraordinary quality as her sisters'.Their father was Patrick Bronte, born in Ireland. He moved with his wife, Maria Bronte, and their six small children to Haworth in Yorkshire in 1820. Soon after, Mrs. Bronte and the two eldest children died, leaving the father to care for the remaining three girls and a boy.Charlotte was born in 1816, Emily was born in 1818 and Anne in 1820. Their brother Branwell was born in 1817. Left to themselves, the children wrote and told stories and walked over the hills. They grew up largely selfeducated. Branwell showed a great interest in drawing. The girls were determined to earn money for his art education. They took positions as teachers or taught children in their homes.As children they had all written many stories. Charlotte, as a young girl, alone wrote 22 books, each with 60 to 100 pages of small handwriting. Therefore, they turned to writing for income. By 1847, Charlotte had written The Professor; Emily, Wuthering Heights; and Anne,Agnes Grey. After much difficulty Anne and Emily found a publisher (出版商), but there was no interest shown in Charlotte's book (It was not published until 1859). However, one publisher expressed an interest in seeing more of her works. Jane Eyre was already started, and she hurriedly finished it. It was accepted at once; thus each of the sisters had a book published in 1847.Jane Eyre was immediately successful; the other two, however, did not do so well. People did not like Wuthering Heights. They said it was too wild, too animal-like. But gradually it came to be considered as one of the finest novels in the English language. Emily lived only a short while after the publication of her book, and Anne died in 1849.Charlotte published Shirley in 1849, and Villette in 1853. In 1854 she married Arthur Bell Nicholls. But only a year later, she died of tuberculosis(肺结核) as her sisters had.24. What did the Bronte sisters do for Branwell Bronte?A. They helped him Write stories.B. They helped him get trained in art.C. They taught him how to draw well.D. They taught him how to educate himself.25. Which was published after the death of its writer?A. Shirley.B. Villette.C. Agnes Grey.D. The Professor,26. The underlined words "the other two" in the 5th paragraph refer toA. Shirley and VilletteB. The Professor and Agnes GreyC. Agnes Grey and Wuthering HeightsD. The Professor and Wuthering Heights27. What do we know about the Bronte sisters?A. Their novels interested few publishers.B. None of them lived longer than 40 years old.C. None of them had more than two books published.D. Emily was the least successful of the three.CEver wonder why some people are apple-shaped while others pear-shaped? Researchers at the University of Edinburgh, UK, have identified a protein, known as HBetaHSD1, which determines how and where fat is stored in the body around the hips and belly .The study shows that levels of HBetaHSD1 tend to be higher in people having unhealthy body fat around the hips and belly. This is typical of overweight people whose " apple-shaped" bodies put them at greater risk of heart disease and diabetes (糖尿病), the Daily Mail reports. On the contrary , lower level of the protein was linked to healthier fat, which tends to be found around the hips--typically in pear-shaped people.An apple shape refers to people, especially women, who have full breasts and whose fat is generally stored in the midsection of the bodies. On the other hand, pear shaped people have a hip size that is a little larger than their breast size. The fat tends to be stored around the hips.Researchers observed the effects of the protein in mice. They were fed on a high fat diet for four weeks. The mice with the protein in their bodies were more likely to have unhealthy fat tissue on a high fat diet compared to the mice without the protein.Scientists are already looking at ways to make medicines that decrease the amount of this protein, which can contribute to over-weight. Nik Morton, of the University ofEdinburgh said to the Daily Mail that this study opens up new avenues for research, and gives us a much better idea of "why some fat in the body becomes unhealthy while other fat is safely stored for energy"."Inflammation (发炎)of the unhealthy fat leads to reactions that can cause harm locally to tissues and affect the whole organism (机体), promoting diabetes," said Morton. "Limiting the presence of this protein could help combat (抗击) this. "As well as being more likely to be stored around the most important organs in the middle part of the body, fat with higher levels of HBetaHSD1 is considered to be unhealthy. This is connected with an overreaction in the immune system, he added. Cells normally become inflamed in order to kill off an infection, but as there is no infection in the fat tissue, the inflammation instead causes damage to healthy cells.28. Which of the following statements about apple-shaped people is TRUE?A. They tend to have higher levels of BetaHSD1 in their bodies.B. They usually have a hip size that is a little larger than their breast size.C. Their fat is generally stored in the hips.D. Most of them prefer a high fat diet.29. What does the underlined word "avenues" in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. approaches.B. problems.C. effects.D. medicines.30. According to the article, inflammation of unhealthy fat is dangerous because it .A. can harm tissues all over the bodyB. may weaken the immune systemC. damages the most important organsD. kills off healthy cells in the body31. What is the article mainly about?A. A protein, known as HBetaHSD1, and its influence on body fat.B. How body shape is linked to weight problems.C. Health suggestions for overweight people.D. New avenues for research on overweight problems.DHonesty, my mum always used to tell me, is the best policy. Of course, this didn't include her when she told me that if I didn't eat all my vegetables Father Christmas would find out and wouldn't give me any presents.But when it comes to medicine, I had assumed it was important to always be honest with my patients. After all, the doctor-patient relationship is based on trust, and therefore honesty is essential. Or so I thought.I had just started working in geriatrics(老年病科). Mr. McMahon was brought in when his belly was found very swollen. I took a medical history from his daughter who'd accompanied him in the ambulance. She'd been his main career for years. I stood looking at him as she gave a detailed history. "Has he lost any weight recently?" I asked. "Well, it's funny you should mention that, but yes," she said slowly. There was silence for a few moments. "Why? What are you worried about?" she asked. I hesitated. She was obviously very involved in his care and it was only fair that I told her the truth. "Well, we need to prove it's not cancer," I said and talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to order.Half an hour later, a nurse called me: "Mr. McMahon's daughter broke down--she said you told her he had cancer." My heart sank. By the time I arrived at the ward, myconsultant was already there, explaining that we still had to run lots of tests and that it was by no means confirmed that he had cancer. I stood silently at the end of the bed. My consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left Mr. McMahon, she turned to me. "Why on earth did you do that?" she asked in disbelief. I looked at her and bit my lip. "She asked me what I was worded about and I told her." I said, hanging my head. "And give her more to worry about?" replied my consultant. "You don't say the word 'cancer' until it's confirmed. Even if you suspect it, think very carefully when you tell people. "As it turned out, it wasn't cancer. But I did learn that when someone is stressed and worried about their loved one they're sometimes selective in what they hear--and as a doctor it's important to be mindful of this. In being truthful, I'd made the situation worse.32. The purpose of the first two paragraphs is to show that the author .A. misunderstood the doctor-patient relationshipB. was anxious to receive Christmas giftsC. regarded honesty as the best policyD. had an unhealthy eating habit33. The author's consultant was angry with him because .A. he told the daughter what he suspectedB. he delayed running the necessary testsC. he failed to confirm the patient's diseaseD. he forgot what the consultant had advised34. The author hung his bead (the underlined part in Para. 4) because he was feeling .A. guiltyB. hurtC. disappointedD. helpless35. What lesson has the author learnt from his experience?A. Learning from patients is necessary.B. Jumping to a conclusion is dangerous.C. Telling the truth may not always be the best solution.D. Selecting pleasant words may not be the perfect policy.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。
