It is also made out of software.‎ If you come to visit, you’ll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN （个人身份号码）to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When it’s dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings.‎ Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console (控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you.‎ The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.‎ I believe that ten years from now, most new homes will have the systems that I’ve put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I’ve put in today.‎ I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, “How will I live without them?”‎ ‎36. What does the passage mainly discuss?‎ A. How to develop a new system. B. The function of the PIN.‎ C. A home for the future. D. Easy life in the future.‎ ‎37. The writer’s new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because _____.‎ A. it has been controlled by computers ‎ B. you can make a telephone call anywhere C. it has your favorite music following you D. the writer is able to change his new idea into practice ‎ ‎38. What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage?‎ A. An IT expert. B. A famous doctor. C. An idealist D. An experienced teacher.‎ ‎39. What CAN’T be done in the writer’s new house?‎ A. turns on the lights B. play music C. get a telephone call D. go swimming B Welcome to our school. You can do a lot of things here. Come and join us.‎ Timetable Sunday ‎8:30---11:30‎ Personal Inventions You can see many inventions by the students;‎ you may also bring your own inventions.‎ Monday ‎19:00---21:00‎ Space and Man Dr. Thomas West If you want to know more about the universe.‎ Wednesday ‎19:30---21:00‎ Modern Medicine ‎ Mrs. Lucy Green Would you like to know medical science?‎ Friday ‎18:30---21:00‎ Computer Science ‎ Mr. Harry Morison from ‎Harvard‎ ‎University Learn to use Windows XP.‎ ‎40.

Australia C. New Zealand D. ‎America ‎42. You may learn something about a disease called TB from __________.‎ ‎ A. Dr. West B. Mr. Morison C. Mrs. Green D. Mr. Thomas ‎43. If you want to learn something about satellites, you can go to the class from______.‎ ‎ A. 8:30 to 11:30 on Sunday B. 19:00 to 21:00 on Monday ‎ ‎ C. 19:30 to 21:00 on Wednesday D. 18:30 to 21:00 on Friday C We Americans are wasteful people, not used to saving. Early settlers, our forefathers set us an example of wasting everything, for they thought nature’s resources were so plentiful that none of them ever imagined that natural materials would be used up in time. Within a few years of the first Virginia settlement, for example, pioneers burned down their houses when they were ready to move west. They burned down their houses with only one aim to get the nails（钉子）for future use. No one ever gave a thought to the priceless hardwoods that went up in smoke. As a people we destroy many valuable things that other people save. I noticed this when I was living in Britain. I received a letter from one England’s largest banks. It was enclosed in a used envelope（信封）that had been readdressed to me. Such a practice would be unthinkable in the United States. American banks, even the smallest, always use expensive stationery（信笺）with the names of all twenty - eight vice – presidents lists on side of the page. ‎ ‎44. The writer thought their forefathers ________ .‎ A. set a good example B. wasted many natural resources C. knew natural resources would be used up in time ‎ D. made the best use of natural materials ‎45. Which of the following statements is wrong?‎ A. The writer lives in Britain now. ‎ B. American banks use expensive stationery. ‎ C. Americans are not used to saving. ‎ D. The writer’s forefathers burned down their houses in order to get the nails.‎ ‎46. The purpose of the passage is to ________ .‎ A. wish Americans not to waste B. tell us the English are a good people ‎ C. warn Americans against saving D. encourage people to work hard.‎ D Forgiving someone who has hurt you or let you down is never an easy thing. Several new studies, however, say that it could have a lot of health benefits. When you think of forgiveness, you probably don’t think of it as being a health or medical problem. Studies from Stanford‎ ‎University, on the other hand, show that something like anger can change your well-being.‎ When cartoon book characters like the Incredible Hulk get angry, they change colors and often gain special power. In the real world, anger is less obvious and may be more dangerous. That’s why Professor Fred Luskin, founder of the Stanford Forgiveness Project and author of Forgive for Good, says holding on to anger and hatred can harm your physical and mental health. Two new studies seem to show the same idea.‎ The studies find that people who are able to forgive feel less stress, less back pain, and less depression. They also have fewer headaches, lower blood pressure, and fewer problems on sleeping.‎ So it doesn’t matter if your anger is caused by the traffic or other things. Learning to let it go is important. Techniques such as deep breath or thought can help. Or just ask yourself if it’s worth hurting yourself by staying angry with someone else. ‎ Forgiveness does not mean that you simply accept what happened and say it’s OK. Instead, it’s a way of making peace with yourself about what happened in the past. ‎ ‎47. The example of the cartoon book characters is taken in the passage to______.‎ ‎ A. support the viewpoint that anger and hatred harm physical and mental health ‎ B. introduce a famous expert ‎ C. let the reader know the different colors of cartoon faces ‎ D. show how to control one’s temper ‎48. The underlined phrase “holding on to” in this passage possibly means“______”.‎ ‎ A. removing B. keeping up C. getting rid of D. learning about ‎49. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage?‎ ‎ A. People who are able to forgive feel less stress.‎ B. People who are able to forgive feel less depression.‎ C. People who are able to forgive have fewer problems on sleeping.‎ D. People who are able to forgive feel less tired.‎ ‎50. The best title for this passage is probably _______. ‎ A. Forgiveness B. Forgiveness Is Good for Health C. A Secret to Keeping Health D. Anger Is Bad for Health 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据下列短文内容，从文章后的选项中选出能入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。（请将51——55答案填涂在答题卡的71——75小题中）‎ Be a Green Child What does it mean to be green ? “Green” is more than just a color .　51　.Why green ?
