第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

A
Working from home is more and more popular as a means of escaping the nine-to-five office life.Why do you work under the eye of your boss when you can work in front of the TV in your slippers？Armed with all the necessary things—telephone，computer，e-mail and fax，many workers believe they can work as effectively as their colleagues in the office.Being able to work wherever you like：from a busy city to a village，and not having to stand the daily things，make working from home an attractive choice.If you wish，you can even work on a river boat.
So what will become of the office tomorrow？It is possible that many could go into computer space creating a new wave of virtual(虚拟的) offices.To minimize office in inner-city areas，companies will have a work force made up of a network of home workers linked by an advanced communication and information system.A central processing computer would be controlled by the manager who sends out work schedules and oversees(监视) the activity of each employee.
A video screen would be created，as the need for e-mail or telephone becomes greater.Seeing the mood and expressions of work colleagues，managers would have the ability to view several employees at once on their screen.Employees would be encouraged to feed any information that may be useful to fellow workers into the computer to make the company work more effectively.As the company’s lifeblood，the computer would contain a record of all conversations and communication for future reference and hold secret information such as accounts in password(口令) protected areas.
36．The passage is mainly about ________.
A．the importance of working in the future
B．how to escape your office
C．how to work with a computer
D．virtual offices in the future
答案 D
解析本文主要介绍了未来的虚拟办公及其特征，该部分内容在文章中所占的比例较大。

37．According to the passage, which of the following things is NOT necessary for a virtual office?
A．A manager. B．An office building.
C．A telephone. D．A central processing computer.
答案 B
解析根据第一段“Being able to work wherever you like...If you wish, you can even work on a river boat”可知，虚拟办公不需要固定的场所。

38．Which of the following is an advantage of a virtual office?
A．There aren’t strict time limits.
B．Employees aren’t overseen by the manager.
C．Employees needn’t see each other every day.
D．Fewer employees are needed in every company.
答案 A
解析由文章首句中“...as a means of escaping the nine-to-five office life”可知，虚拟办
公可以不必朝九晚五上班，故该办公方式没有严格的时间限制。

39．From the passage we can learn that ________.
A．a computer is the only necessary thing in a virtual office.
B．in a virtual office, all information is open to workers.
C．managers can observe their employees in a virtual office.
D．the number of employees will be smaller in a virtual office.
答案 C
解析根据第三段“...managers would have the ability to view several employees at once
on their screen”可知，C项内容符合题意。

B
Parents and kids today dress alike，listen to the same music，and are friends.Is this a good thing？Sometimes，when Mr.Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter，Elizabeth，listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy，such as pop culture，he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.
“I would never have said to my mom，‘Hey，the new Weezer album is really great.How do you like it？’”says Ballmer.“There was just a complete gap in taste.”
Music was not the only gulf.From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations，earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.
Today，the generation gap has not disappeared，but it is getting narrow in many families.Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago.Now they are comfortable and common.And parent-child activities，from shopping to sports，involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood.
No wonder greeting cards today carry the message，“To my mother，my best friend.”
But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents.
“There’s still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents，but there is a change happening，”says Kerrie，a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College.“In the middle of that change，there is a lot of confusion among parents.”
Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes.They see the 1960s as a turning point.Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say.
“My parents were on the ‘before’side of that change，but today’s parents，the 40-year-olds，were on the ‘after’ side，”explains Mr.Ballmer.“It’s not something easily accomplished by parents these days，because life is more difficult to understand or deal with，but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.”
40．The underlined word gulf in Para.3 most probably means ________.
A．interest B．distance C．difference D．separation
答案 B
解析词义理解题。

由上文中提到的“...he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.”以及“There was just a complete gap in taste.”可知gulf 应表示两代人之间关系的“代沟”。

separation指“分开，分离”。

41．Which of the following shows that the generation gap is disappearing?
A．Parents help their children develop interests in more activities.
B．Parents put more trust in their children’s abilities.
C．Parents and children talk more about sex and drugs.
D．Parents share more interests with their children.
答案 D
解析细节理解题。

42．The change in today’s parent-child relationship is ________.
A．more confusion among parents
B．new equality between parents and children
C．less respect for parents from children
D．more strictness and authority on the part of parents
答案 B
解析细节推断题。

由文章的最后五段可知，现在父母和孩子之间的关系趋于平等。

43．By saying “today’s parents，the 40-year-olds，were on the ‘after’ side，”the author means that today’s parents ________.
A．follow the trend of the change
B．can set a limit to the change
C．fail to take the change seriously
D．have little difficulty adjusting to the change
答案 A
解析句意理解题。

20世纪60年代被看作一个转折点。

以前的父母高高在上、固执保
守，而现在的父母与孩子在同一平面上，同孩子一起快乐地分享共有的兴趣。

故A项“紧
随潮流的变化”最符合。

C
Within fifteen years Britain and other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial complexes for the recycling of waste.The word rubbish could lose its meaning because everything that goes into the dumps would be made into something useful.Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.
The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out.The aim is to find out how many of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city.This plant would recycle not only metal such as steel and copper，but also paper and rubber as well.
Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish.When this project is complete，the rubbish will be processed like this：first，it will pass through metal bars which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed；then it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids；after that grounders and rollers break up everything that can be broken.Finally the rubbish will pass under magnets，which will remove the bits of iron and steel；the rubbish and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.
The first full-scale giant recycling plants are perhaps fifteen years away.Indeed，with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps，some big cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long.
44．The main purpose of the passage is to ________.
A．show us a future way of recycling wastes
B．tell the importance of recycling plant
C．warn people the danger of some wastes
D．introduce a new recycling plant
答案 A
解析第一段谈论垃圾可以回收；第二段、第三段介绍两种回收垃圾的新方案；最后提到未来大型的回收工厂。

故本文主要涉及未来垃圾的回收。

45．How many stages are there in the recydling process?
A．3 B．4 C．5 D．6
答案 B
解析由文中第3段的“first，then，after that，finally”可得出答案。

46．What’s the main reason for big cities to build their own recycling plants?
A．To deal with waste in a better way.
B．It’s a good way to gain profits.
C．It’s more economical (经济的) than to dump wastes in more distant places.
D．Energy can be got at a low price.
答案 C
解析由文中最后一句话可得出答案(注意：growing cost)。

47．The first full-scale huge recycling plants________.
A．have been in existence for 15 years
B．take 15 years to build
C．can’t be built until 15 years later

请结合下表中的内容，以“Pupils in Wenchuan Earthquake”为题写一
参考词汇：salute行礼；ballet芭蕾舞；optimistic乐观的
【参考范文】
Pupils in Wenchuan Earthquake
A terrible earthquake broke out in Wenchuan.A lot of people were killed, but there were also many people rescued by soldiers.There are stories about many people rescued by soldiers.Here are stories about three rescued pupils.
Lang Zheng，a three-year-old, was rescued by soldiers after being buried in ruins for 10 hours.After being rescued, he gave a young pioneer salute to the soldiers with a face full of blood.Little as he is, he has a heart of appreciation.This is why he is called a young-pioneer-salute boy.
However，it is unfortunate for a 6-year-old girl, Li Yue.She was rescued after being buried for more than 70 hours, but one of her legs was cut off ！She likes ballet, and dreams of being a dancer one day.But now she is like a wing-broken bird，and she will never realize her dream.
Xue Xiao，who is 17, gives us a deep impression. Trapped in the ruins for 80 hours, he was rescued by soldiers.The first word he said to the soldiers was “I want to have coca-cola, iced cola”，which was beyond their expectation.Faced with such a disaster, he was so optimistic, and he was given the name “cola boy”．Poems。
