2．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
C. windows will take the place of TV sets in the near future
D. TV technology needs improving
（3）It can be inferred（推断） from the passage that ________.
A. the building in the future will be intelligent
B. your windows will be changed into TVs
C. few people will like watching TV in the future
D. all the old people will live without others’ help
（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，Grace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，Grace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。

（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。

10．阅读理解
How do you get to school every day? By bus or car? Song Kexin, a 14-year-old schoolgirl in Xiamen, prefers to go to school on her bike. "It's the quickest and easiest way to get to school," she said. "When there's a traffic jam, I feel the freedom while passing so many car lines."
China was once known as the kingdom of bicycles. But these years, the popularity of bicycles in Europe is rising. Last year, more bicycles were sold than cars in Europe, according to the BBC.
Cycling is a safe, clean and cheap way to get around the city. It makes both traffic jams and pollution less, and is great for our health.
Of course, Rome wasn't built in a day. The popularity of cycling in many European countries is greatly because of bike-friendly policies.
As the traditional "cycling capital" in Northern Europe, Copenhagen's roads keep bicycles and motor cars separated（分离）as much as possible. On these roads, there are pre-green lights for cyclists. These kinds of bicycle traffic lights turn green a few seconds before car traffic lights do. They give the cyclists time to avoid traffic while they are crossing.
In Amsterdam, people can hire a bike from almost anywhere in the city. You can start from three hours and the average price for a full day is 8 euros （66.8 yuan）.
This year, in Ruian, there are also similar policies to hire public bikes. It's only 20 yuan for a full day. Do you see them around the city? It's important to be safe when you are cycling. If you remember the following ideas, you will be safer.
■Although you may think a helmet（头盔）is not cool, it can protect your head if you fall down. Just choose the one that fits you best.
■Stop at all stop signs and obey red lights just as cars do. It's a good idea to walk your bike across busy crossings by following traffic lights.
■If you are cycling with friends, ride in a line. Don't ride with each other side by side.

【解析】【分析】短文大意：这篇短文讲的是中国曾经是自行车王国，但是这些年欧洲人们骑自行车的人的数量正在上升，人们为什么要骑自行车和怎样骑自行车更安全。

（1）细节理解题。

根据 Cycling is a safe, clean and cheap way to get around the city. But these years, the popularity of bicycles in Europe is rising. It makes both traffic jams and pollution less, and is great for our health. As the traditional "cycling capital" in Northern Europe, Copenhagen's roads keep bicycles and motor cars separated（分离）as much as possible. In Amsterdam, people can hire a bike from almost anywhere in the city. 文章提到自行车可租用，不是免费的，故选A。

（2）词意猜测题。

根据 On these roads, there are pre-green lights for cyclists. These kinds of bicycle traffic lights turn green a few seconds before car traffic lights do. They give the cyclists time to avoid traffic while they are crossing. 在这些路上，对于骑行者有优先绿灯。

这些自行车的交通绿灯在机动车交通绿灯前几秒钟变绿。

当骑行者穿过马路时它们给他们时间来避
免交通拥堵。

可知此处they指的是优先绿灯。

故选A。

（3）细节理解题。

根据 Although you may think a helmet（头盔）is not cool, it can protect your head if you fall down. 虽然你可能认为头盔不酷，如果你摔下来它能保护你的头。

可知戴头盔有用。

故选B。

（4）主旨大意题。

这篇短文讲的是现在自行车为什么在欧洲很受欢迎。

故选C。

Why does the sky change colors?
What is the sky? How high is it? What color is it? What birds can live above it? These questions are difficult to answer, aren't they?
In fact, the sky has no color. Then why does the sky look blue?
We know that there is air around the world. When planes fly, they need air to lift their wings. Planes can't fly very high. That is because the air gets thinner when they go higher. The same will happen to us if we go high enough. If we go up about 1, 200 kilometers from the earth, we'll find no air there. Some birds can fly into the sky as high as a plane, but they cannot fly or live without air.
Looking up above us, you will see the blue sky with white clouds. It is usually light blue. The color would be bluer when you see on the top of a high mountain. And you will see fewer clouds in the sky between you and the sun.
Sometimes the sky doesn't look blue. When the sun rises and falls, you will see red, orange, and other colors in the sky. Such are the most beautiful moments of the day.
Who can see the colors of the sky high above the earth? The astronauts! They can see those beautiful colors of the sky from the outer space. However, before flying into outer space, they sit in a spaceship high above the earth, and there is no air at all. The sky would be that dark and its color would be black.
Now you may understand that we see colors because the air scatters（使散射） the sunlight. light travels through the air. Without air, there would be no light or colors.
（1）Planes can't fly as high as possible because_________.
A. the sky is blue。
