Welcome to your future life!

You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging(抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!

You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change clothes’ color or pattern.

You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says, “You shouldn't drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk , and it knows the milk is old . In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.

It’s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all around you.

So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed,” says scientist Andrew Zolli, “it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one example --- what will be the next?

1. We can learn from the text that in the future__________.

A. people will never get old

B. everyone will look the same

C. red will be the most popular color

D. clothes will be able to change their pattern

2. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?

A. Milk will be harmful to health.

B. More drinks will be available for sale.

C. Milk in the grocery store will stay fresh much longer.

D. Food in the grocery store will carry electronic information.

3. Which of the following is mentioned in the text?

A. Fridges will know what people need.

B. Jacket sleeves can be used as a guide.

C. Cars will be able to drive automatically.

D. Nothing can replace the Internet.

4. What is the text mainly about?

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

Cats are the most popular pets among Americans. 1. .

Some cats like to catch small birds, like canaries (金絲雀). If someone looks very proud or satisfied with himself or herself, we say he or she looks like “the cat that ate the canary”.

2. . So if you “play cat and mouse” with someone, you change between different kinds of behavior when dealing with another person. For example, a child might offer something sweet to her little brother and then take it away when he reaches for it.

One old and funny expression describes something that is the best. Americans might say that something is “the cat’s miaow (喵)”. 3. . Sometimes people sleep for a short time during the day. This is called “a cat nap”. If you tell about something that was supposed to be a secret, we say you “l(fā)et the cat out of the bag”. 4. . Then someone might ask if “the cat has got your tongue”.

Have you ever watched children in a classroom when their teacher leaves for a few minutes? 5. . It means people sometimes misbehave when there is no supervision (監(jiān)督). You may have heard this expression: curiosity killed the cat. This means being too concerned about things that are not your business might cause problems.

C. Sometimes, a cat likes to play with a small animal it catches.

任務(wù)型閱讀（共10小題：每小題1分，滿分10分）

The parents of a troubled teen may feel unsure as to whom to turn to in order to find help for their child. They may feel as if they have exhausted all of their options, and sometimes they are on the verge of giving up. But there is hope. Schools for troubled teens offer discipline and in some cases, drug treatment programs that can provide important life skills, and more importantly, a fresh start.

The following is a list of the most effective types of schools for troubled teens. Not every facility is a match for every child, but by knowing the differences between them, parents can make a better educated decision about where to send their teenager.

Boarding Schools

When a child is unable to deal with the relative freedom of a standard school day, boarding schools might be a good choice. At boarding schools, the child lives in a dorm setting, where almost every minute of the day is scheduled by school administrators.

Treatment Centers

When a teenager has an addiction to drugs or alcohol, a residential center that specializes in young people is an outstanding way to help them break the cycle of addiction. Treatment centers feature individual and group counseling to help identify the root causes of the drug problem and help develop the life skills needed to stay clean when the program is over.

Wilderness Programs

Designed to help improve the discipline and self-reliance of the child, wilderness programs send kids back to nature. By placing them in a foreign and sometimes uncomfortable setting, wilderness programs hope to improve children’s behavior. Programs generally include hikes, exercise programs and team building exercises.

Boot Camps

Boot camps are the most extreme style of school for troubled teens. These facilities are modeled after actual military boot camps, where the individual must get into shape, work as part of a team, and follow a long, hard set of rules and regulations. However, boot camps might not be the best choice for a teen with a drug addiction.

The physical education office of Peking University announced on Aug 27 that the university would build a golf course near Weiming Lake. Golf would thus become an elective course for Peking University's students in the near future.

Peking University's eastern sports ground will be rebuilt into two soccer fields and one golf course. The latter will be designed as 90 meters long and 40 meters wide, occupying only a quarter of the whole sports ground.

The director of the physical education office revealed that a student would make only one stroke on the ground, and one class session would hold no more than 30 students.

Some teachers suspect such an activity will be a waste of university's limited land resources, but the director thinks otherwise, for the place can also be used for such sports as javelin or discus throw.

It is reported that currently Peking University is still discussing about fees to be charged for the after-class use of the golf links.

1.What is the best heading of the news?

A. Golf in Peking University

B. One Golf Course to be Built in Peking University

C. Peking University to Teach Students Golf

D. Come to Peking University to Play Golf

2.What does the underlined word “suspect” mean in the sentence?

A. think B. praise C. hate D. add

C. students of Peking University must attend the golf course

D. there are only 30 students in one Golf class period

Jeri Solomon is a morning person but Jim, her husband of 11 years, is not. Early in their life, it caused a problem. “When we were planning our wedding, I wanted to have these big discussions at 8 a. m.，when I had been up for two hours and was fresh, but Jim would just be getting out of bed,” says the 46-year-old designer from Melrose, Mass. “We ended up getting into many arguments because I thought he had no interest, when really he was just still half-asleep.”

The couple learned to work around their differences over the years, but their situation isn’t uncommon, says Katherine Sharkey, professor at BrownUniversity. “More women tend to be larks, while men are like night owls(貓頭鷹),” she says.

The question is：Why? The answer lies in each person’s body clock. “The body clock is about 24 hours, thanks to Earth’s 24-hour light-dark cycle,” Sharkey says. “But some people have a longer natural cycle, and some are shorter.” If yours is on the long side, you’re more likely to be a night owl. If it runs short, you’re probably an early riser. But your body clock can change over your lifetime. There’s a developmental piece-school-age children are generally early birds, while teenagers tend to be night owls, and then as they age, adults gradually turn back into morning people,” Sharkey says.

Besides the clear problems with being a night owl if you have fl day job, “night owls tend to be more low-spirited, and have a higher dependence on coffee,” Sharkey says. But the news isn’t all bad. A recent study in Belgium found that night owls can stay more focused as the day goes on, compared with early risers.

Morning people, however, also have advantages. “Larks generally sleep better, have more regular sleep, and have more flexible characters,” Sharkey says. They also tend to be happier and feel healthier than night owls, according to a recent study from the University of Toronto.

1.Jeri Solomon and her husband ______.

A．tried to change each other’s sleeping habits

B．often argued about small things

C．could not understand each other

D．got up at different times

2.The underlined word “l(fā)arks” in Paragraph 2 refers to birds which ______.

A．a(chǎn)re sleepy at noon

B．stay awake all night

C．search for food at night

D．a(chǎn)re active in the morning

3.Compared with morning people, night owls ______.

A．work more flexibly

B．feel happy more easily

C．sleep more soundly at night

D．get more and more focused during the day

4.What is the purpose of the text?

A．To explain why we get up early or late.

B．To advise every one of us to get up early.

C．To tell us how to change our body clock.

D．To point out morning people’s advantages.
