3．阅读理解
Is it difficult for you to get up in the morning? Hiroyuki's bed will solve your problem! Here is how it works.
The bed is connected to an alarm clock. First, the alarm clock rings. You have a few minutes to wake up. Next, a tape recorder in the bed plays soft music. The tape recorder in Hiroyuki's bed plays a recording of his girlfriend. She whispers in a sweet voice, “Wake up, darling, please.” A few minutes later, Hiroyuki hears a recording of his boss. His boss shouts, “Get up at once, or you'll be late!”
If you don't get up after the second recording, a mechanical “foot” i n the bed will kick you on the head. The bed waits a few more minutes. What! You're still in bed! Slowly the top of the bed rises higher and higher. The foot of the bed goes lower and lower. Finally you slide off the bed and onto the floor. You are out of bed and awake!
Hiroyuki's bed is not in stores. There is only one bed－the bed Hiroyuki made for a contest. Maybe someday a company will make Hiroyuki's bed and sell it in stores. Maybe people will buy millions of beds. Then Hiroyuki will be rich. If the bed makes Hiroyuki rich, he won't need to go to work and he won't need to get up early!
（1）The bed is useful to the people .
A. who can't sleep well
B. who can't get up early
C. who go to bed early
D. who go to bed late
（2）The bed is not connected to .
A. an alarm clock
B. a tape recorder
C. a TV
D. a mechanical foot （3）What will finally happen to Hiroyuki if he doesn't get up?
A. He will slide onto the floor.
B. A tape recorder will play a recording of his boss.
C. A mechanical foot will kick him on the head.
D. The bed will rise higher and higher.
（4）Which of the following is true?
A. Hiroyuki's company has made such beds.
B. Hiroyuki's bed is the only one made for a contest.
C. Hiroyuki has made a lot of money.
D. Hiroyuki needn't get up early now.
（5）The underlined word “whispers” in the second paragraph means “”.
A. speaks loudly
B. speaks sadly
C. speaks angrily
D. speaks quietly
【答案】（1）B
（2）C
（3）A
（4）B
（5）D
【解析】【分析】
（1）推理判断。

根据第一段 Is it difficult for you to get up in the morning? Hiroyuki's bed will solve your problem!可知此床是专门为那些早起困难的人设计的。

故答案为B。

（2）细节理解。

通读短文, 由第二段第一句The bed is connected to an alarm clock可知床与闹钟相连；由Next, a tape recorder in the bed plays soft music可知床与录音机相连；由a mechanical “foot” in the bed will kick you on the head可知床与机器脚相连。

所以可得出结论：床上未连接电视。

故答案为C。

（3）细节理解。

根据第三自然段的Finally you slide off the bed and onto the floor可知最后你会溜下床站到地上。

故答案为A。

（4）细节理解。

根据最后一段There is only one bed—the bed Hiroyuki made for a contest.可知这个床是Hiroyuki 为参加竞赛而制作的，故答案为B。

（5）词义猜测。

根据上一句可知一开始Hiroyuki床播放你女朋友的录音，可知该句句意为：她用甜美的声音低声说。

故推知whisper意为“低声地说”,与D项意思相近。

故答案为D。

【解析】【分析】文章大意：我们都在忙着谈论和使用互联网，但有多少人知道互联网的历史？互联网是在20世纪60年代刚建立的时，计算机又大又贵。

网络工作不好。

如果网络中的一台计算机发生故障，整个网络就会停止运行。

起初，互联网仅由政府使用，但在20世纪70年代初，大学、医院和银行也被允许使用互联网。

然而，电脑仍然很昂贵，互联网也很难使用。

到20世纪90年代初，计算机变得更便宜，更容易使用。

科学家们还开发了使“上网”更方便的软件。

今天上网很容易，据说每天有数百万人使用互联网。

发送电子邮件在学生中越来越流行。

互联网已经成为人们生活中最重要的部分之一。
