In 2040 it will not matter. They will turn themselves off and on again when you return. A sensor will detect the presence of a human and turn the systems on, and when the humans leave it will turn them off again.The sensors will work through the central home computer, and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off for you. They will detect faulty electrical appliances, isolate them so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the firemen. It will also call the police, should the sensors detect an intruder（非法闯入者）. You will open the door using your personal card--the one you use for shopping--maybe using a number known only to you.(1)、The author intends to tell the readers that in year 2040 there will be no switches for lights and heaters.A：TB：F答案：B(2)、According to the passage, people will save much trouble with the help of advanced technology.

City people appear always to be hurrying to get where they are going restlessly, seeking attention in a store, and elbowing others as they try to complete their errands (任务). Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country.Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they too can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don't, waiters will hurry you.You also find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small courtesies with strangers. Don't take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else "wasting"it beyond a certain courtesy point.The view of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what might be called "a short fuse." We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time is slipping away without some return - be this in terms of pleasure, work value, or rest. Those coming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter of pace to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and daily life.Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business call, for example, they will miss the ritual socializing that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee that may be traditional in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a caféor coffeehouse. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks. We seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social courtesies. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly.(1)、Which of the following statements is wrong? ___________A：Americans seem to be always under pressure.B：Americans attach less importance to patience.C：Americans don't care much about ritual socializing.D：Americans are impolite to their business colleagues.答案：D(2)、In the fourth paragraph, "a high priority"means ___________.A：a less important thingB：a first concernC：a good businessD：an attractive gift答案：B(3)、Americans evaluate a business colleague ________.A：through social courtesyB：through prolonged business talksC：by establishing business relationsD：by learning about their past performance答案：D(4)、This passage mainly talks about __________.A：how Americans treasure their timeB：how busy Americans are every dayC：how Americans do business with foreignersD：what American way of life is like答案：A(5)、We can infer from the passage that the author's tone in writing is ________.A：criticalB：ironicalC：praisefulD：objective答案：C三、词汇与语法1、The construction of the new bridge has been ____ for two weeks because of the bad weather.
