第三部份阅读（共两节，总分值40分）
第一节阅读明白得（共15小题，每题2分，总分值30分）
阅读以下短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A, B, C和D）当选出最正确选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

（A）
Do you forget to turn off the lights and heaters when you go out of a room? In 2040 it will not matter. They will turn themselves off—and on again when you return. You will choose the temperature for each room, the lighting and the humidity. A sensor will find the presence of a human (and, with luck, ignore the dog!) 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 find faulty electrical appliances, plugs or switches, separate them so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect(发觉) fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the fire brigade. It will not be too difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic. You will open them using your personal card—the one you use for shopping—maybe using a number known only to you.
It will be impossible to lose the key, and a housebreaker will have to tamper(拨弄) with the lock or with a window. It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal to the computer.
The computer will be more than a fireman-policeman-servant. It will be an entertainer, and most of your entertainment will come right into your home. It does now, of course, but by 2040 “entertainment” will mean much more. For one thing, you will be able to take part actively, rather than just watching.
41. The author intends to tell us that in 2040__________.
A. we will live without lights and heaters
B. we will use much more lights and heaters
C. there will be no switches of lights and heaters
D. lights and heaters will be on and off automatically
42. Which of the following statements is NOT true?_________
A. The sensor is multi-functional.
B. Without a computer, the sensor cannot do much.
C. The sensor will detect fire and make an emergency call.
D. You can be taken for a housebreaker if you tamper with the lock or with a window.
43. According to the author, in 2040, new technology will_________.
A. free us from the keys we use today
B. turn everything into sensors
C. make the locks out of date
D. get rid of all crimes
44. Thanks to computers, in 2040 people will__________.
A. have no entertainment outside
B. replace TV with computers
C. be controlled by computers
D. have more fun at home
45. The best title for the passage might be ___________.
A. Sensors and Computers
B. Life at Home in the Year 2040
C. The Development of Science and Technology
D. Lights and Heaters in the Year 2040
(B)
Think about the last time you felt a negative (消极的) emotion—like stress, anger, or frustration. What was going through your mind as you were going through that negativity? Was your mind cluttered with (充满) different kinds of thoughts? Or was it paralyzed, unable to think?
The next time you find yourself in the middle of a very stressful time, or you feel angry or frustrated, stop. Yes, that’s right, stop. Whatever you’re doing, stop and sit for one minute. While
you’re sitting there, completely immerse yourself in the negative emotion. Allow that emotion to consume you. Allow yourself one minute to truly feel that emotion. Don’t cheat yourself here. Take the entire minute—but only one minute—to do nothing else but feel that emotion.
When the minute is over, ask yourself, “Am I willing to keep holding on to this negative emotion as I go through the rest of the day?” Once you’ve allowed yourself to be totally immersed in the emotion and really feel it, you will be surprised to find that the emotion clears rather quickly.
If you feel you need to hold on to the emotion for a little longer, that is OK. Allow yourself another minute to feel the emotion. When you feel you’ve had enough of the emotion, ask yourself if you’re willing to carry that negativity with you for the rest of the day. If not, take a deep breath. As you exhale, release all that negativity with your breath.
This exercise seems simple—almost too simple. But, it is very effective. By allowing that negative emotion the space to be truly felt, you are dealing with the emotion rather than stuffing it down and trying not to feel it. You are actually taking away the power of the emotion by giving it the space and attention it needs. When you immerse yourself in the emotion, and realize that it is only emotion, it loses its control. You can clear your head and proceed with your task.
46．Which one does not belong to the negative emotion?
A. anxiety
B. confusion
C. depression
D. sorrow
47．What should you do when you are into negativity according to the article?
A. Listen to some music.
B. Ignore it and do something else.
C. Just do nothing and truly feel that emotion.
D. Think about it and try to deal with it immediately.
48．The underlined word “immerse” (Paragraph 2) mos t probably means ______.
A. break down
B. get rid of
C. cut off
D. throw into
49．What’s the best title of this text?
A. Clear Your Mental Space.
B. Deep Breath, Trouble Away.
C. Try to Avoid the Negative Emotion.
D. Hold on to Negative Emotion as Long as Possible.
50．The author’s opinion towards negative emotion is ______.
A. doubtful
B. optimistic
C. frightened
D. confused
(C)
When Two Bangs Meet
SHELDON Cooper is a scientific genius on the popular American TV show, The Big Bang Theory. He finally met his match last year: Stephen Hawking.
This is not the first time that the scientist has appeared on TV. He has also been on Star Trek (in 1987) and The Simpsons (in 1989). Each time, he played himself.
Hawking, 71, is perhaps the world’s most famous scientist after Albert Einstein. He has spent his whole life studying the beginning and the end of the universe, including the Big Bang theory.
The Big Bang theory explains the early development of the universe. According to the theory, about 13.7 billion years ago everything was all squeezed together in a tiny, tight little ball, and then the ball exploded. The results of that explosion are what we call the universe.
Hawking has always tried to make science more popular with people. His book: A Brief History of Time was published in 1988. In the book he shares his understanding of the universe in simple language. The book tries to explain many subjects about the universe to common readers, including the Big Bang, black holes and light cones (光锥).
Hawking’s achievements are even greater if you think about his disability. When he was 21, Hawking caught a bad illness that slowly stopped him from moving or talking. Now he sits on a
wheelchair with a computer by his side. To communicate, he moves two fingers to control the computer’s mouse. He chooses his words from the screen, which are then spoken by a voice synthesizer (合成器).
Hawking also believes that there might be aliens (外星人) in space. However, he believes they are probab ly very dangerous, so we should not look for them. “I imagine they might exist in very big ships ... having used up all the resources from their home planet,” Hawking said in a British documentary named Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking.
51. What does the “two Bangs” in the title refer to? ____________
A. The director of “The Big Bang Theory” and the founder of it.
B. The director and the actor of “The Big Bang Theory”.
C. The founder of the “Big Bang” theory and its spreader.
D. The scientific genius on TV show and the one alive in real life.
52. Acting in The Big Bang Theory is Hawking’s _____ time on TV.
A. first
B. second
C. third
D. fourth
53. According to Paragraph 5, Hawking wrote the book A Brief History of Time especially for _________.
A. scientists who study the universe
B. people who know a lot about the universe
C. people who know little about the universe
D. people who only know simple language
54. The Big Bang theory mainly explains _____.
A. how the universe started
B. what the universe is like
C. how old the universe is
D. how the universe exploded
55. According to the passage, which of the following about Hawking is TRUE?
A. He was born with a disability.
B. He uses a computer to communicate.
C. He believes aliens are our friends.
D. He encourages people to look for aliens.

My dear son, you’re growing up so fast, and turning into an impressive person．I was so excited that I couldn’t fall asleep after the party．You know, you really gave me a big surprise when I entered the room, and made me realize how considerate and kind you’ve turned out to be．59．Dear Amy,
