2. A man who broke his neck outdoors in freezing conditions survived lying in snow for nearly 20 hours thanks to his dog, who kept him warm through the night and barked for help． The Michigan man, named only as Bob, was alone when he left his farmhouse on New Year's Eve to collect firewood． Predicting a journey of only several metres, Bob was
wearing just long jeans, a shirt and slippers when he went outside, despite the temperature being around ﹣4°C． However, he slipped and broke his neck．

was because of Kelsey's determination to keep me warm and safe． "And to the surprise of doctors, Bob made a quick recovery from his neck injury．

3. Sometimes picking the right music or lighting for a dinner date can be daunting, but research suggests you should be focusing on the color of your napkins too．
A new report examining the relationship between colored napkins and the flavor of food found that color is a powerful contributor． The report reveals which colors pair best with which dishes to help give your dinners an extra bit of flavor． Napkin brand Tork partnered with Swedish food stylist and chef, Linda Lundgren, who paired dishes with a range of colored napkins．
She told trade magazine The Caterer : "How do you make a strawberry mousse sweeter and richer﹣tasting? The answer isn't more strawberries and sugar． Instead, try serving
the dish with a coral pink napkin． The color actually increases the perception of sweetness
and decreases bitterness, making it perfect for desserts． "
"The experiments found that aqua blue napkins enhance the flavor of eggs and Indian food． This is because it brings out orange and yellow as contrast colors and makes the dishes seem less salty, " Ms Lundgren said．
Coral pink helps to decrease the bitterness of dishes like grapefruit and makes meals taste sweeter, while pink or rose red works best with desserts．
Mustard yellow helps to improve the flavor of green dish such as sprouts and salads, as well as tart flavors including fish and sea food． Anthracite grey helps to contrast the tones of lighter colored table settings and meals , meaning grey napkins give Mediterranean food a richer taste．
（1）What colour napkins would you choose if your guest comes from India？________
A Yellow．
B Pink．
C Blue．
D Grey．．
（2）Which one is the colored napkins' function？________
A To make you hungry．

D To enhance the flavor of food．．

C lighting and food
D music and food．
4. Futurologists are making a lot of predictions about our future life and they are predicting how we will travel, work and live in the next 30 years． By 2048, some futurologists foresee that some talking" buildings will appear in our life．
By the middle of the century, it's believed that buildings will be able to "tnlk" to people through various sensors when the heating needs to be turned on． As a result, there will be no switches． Instead, a lot of networks will appear, which can be compared to a human nervous system． In the next 30 years, buildings will be made from concrete plastics and shape﹣changing materials． All of them can heal themselves at that time． As architects （建筑师）are racing to develop the world's tallest buildings, there will be a need for new kinds of elevators, through which vehicles could even travel into the buildings． German engineers have already started working on such technology called Multi．
By mid﹣century, scientists believe that buildings will be miles tall． Some of them may be very large and they can function as small cities． By comparison, at present, the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, measures 829.8 metres high． As the future building can rise through the clouds, their windows will be replaced by virtual screens． In this way, people can choose any view as they like．
At height extremes, a London Spaceport is also likely to come into being by 2048 as the space industry develops very quickly． There is a huge cost advantage going to space from as high a base as possible, so a spaceport is very likely to be over 10km and even as much as
30km, using carbon﹣ based materials．
（1）How will the heating system be controlled in the future？________
A Through the net．
B Through mobiles．
C Through sensors．
D Through switches．．
（2）What might happen to the future buildings in a disaster？________
A They can recover by themselves．
B They can seek helpautomatically．
C They can transportpeopleintospace．
D They can protect peopleagainstharm．．
（3）What's the possible advantage of Multi？________
A Seeing the beautiful scenery．
B Allowing vehicles to travel into
buildings． C Connecting the earth with the space． D Making it possible to build high buildings．．
（4）What is the best title for the text？________
A Be the Best﹣﹣Buildings with Carbon﹣based Materials
B The Higher the Building，the Better
C Smart Buildings in the Next 30 Years
D More Functions， Less Cost．

8. My grandpa used to be a teacher who is retired now．he has been living the busy and active life，going online，writing articles for newspapers，but attending academic conferences all over the country．He also had many bobbies，such as growing flowers at home，collecting stamps and coins，and especial drinking tea．There are various tea sets and almost all kinds∧tea in his home，most of that I can't name．
My grandpa is so very crazy about tea that he can't live with enjoying tea several times a day．He once told me he would be sleepy without tea．I often help making tea and drink together with me．I love my grandpa．
详1．the改为a 考查冠词．live a life意为"过日子"，是固定搭配．
2．but改为and/or 考查连词．going online，writing articles for newspapers和attending academic conferences all over the country是现在分词短语作状语，是并列关系或选择关系，用连词and/or．
3．had改为has 考查动词时态．此处讲述的是一般事实，用一般现在时态．
4．especial改为especially 考查副词．attend是动词，要用副词修饰．
5．加of 考查固定搭配．all kinds of意为"各种各类的"，是固定搭配．
6 that改为which 考查定语从句．分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句，先行词various
tea sets and almost all kinds of tea在从句中作介词of的宾语，用关系代词which，介词后
不接关系代词that．
7．去掉very 考查副词．so…that…意为"如此/这么…以致于…"，句型中的so是副词，常常
用来修饰形容词或副词，常用句型为：主语+谓语+so+adj．/adv．+that从句．已有副词so修饰crazy，very是多余的，要去掉．
8．with改为without 考查介词．根据句意：每天他不喝几次茶不能活．用介词without．9．making改为make 考查动词不定式．help do sth．意为"帮助做某事"，help后接不带
to的动词不定式．
10．me改为him 考查代词．根据句意：我时常帮着沏茶和他一起饮茶．用代词him．
