When Mrs. Green came up to the7, he looked at her seriously and said that she was8old to drive a car, and that the9why she had not stopped at the red10was most probably that her eyes had become weak11old age, so that she had simply not seen it.

You will be able to buy a supercomputer that fits in your pocket! You might even drive a flying car! For each prediction that has come true today, several others have missed by a mile. Many of these predictions didnt consider how people would want to use the technology, or whether people really needed it in their lives or not. Lets look at some predictions from the not-too-distant past. Robot HelpersWheres the robot in my kitchen? Nowhere, of course. And hes probably not coming anytime soon. Robots do exist today, but mostly in factories and other manufacturing environments. Back in the 1950s, however, people said that by now personal robots would be in most peoples homes. So why hasnt it happened? Probably because robots are still too expensive and clumsy. And maybe the idea of robots cooking our dinners and washing our clothes is just too weird. At home we seem to be doing fine without them. Telephones of Tomorrow来源:数理化网In 1964 an American company introduced the video telephone. They said by the year 2000 most people would have a video phone in their homes. But of course the idea hasnt caught on yet. Why? The technology worked fine, but it over-looked something obvious: peoples desire for privacy. Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just step out of the shower? Probably notit could be embarrassing! Just because a technology available doesnt always mean people will want to use it. And finally, how about that crazy prediction of the flying car? Its not so crazy anymore! But a flying car remains one of the most fascinating technology ideas to capture our imagination. Keep watching the news, or perhaps the sky outside your window, to see what the future will bring. 1. The whole passage is mainly about. A. predictions that have come trueB. predictions that havent come trueC. why predictions dont come true easilyD. what technology will bring about2. The author of this passage wont believe that. A. predictions neednt consider peoples practical use of technologyB. the future isnt always easy to guessC. not all past predictions have come trueD. many of the high-tech things our parents thought wed be using by now simply never appeared来源:3. The underlined word “weird” in Para. 5 probably means. A. wonderfulB. stupidC. practicalD. strange4. What does the author think of the flying car? A. It is too difficult to imagine. B. It is too crazy an idea. C. It is likely to be made. D. It is often reported in the news. BPeople often talk as if shyness is a disease or mental condition that can be cured. I prefer to think of it as an emotional disability. Its something we are born with and something we carry with us in our entire lives. There are too many people, however, who seem to be determined to find some way of doing away with their shyness. In my opinion, its a waste of time. I dont mean that we should do nothing about it; quite the contrary, I think we need to separate the basic fact of our shyness from our ability to take part in a social environment. Look at one of the most famous shy people of them all, Johnny Carson. This man is painfully shy, yet for decades he made a living talking and associating with different people every night, in front of a national audience. Carson has never done away with his shyness, but he has successfully found a way to deal with it to the extent that he could be, not just a talk show host, but a legend among talk show hosts. Look also at Sally Fields, who has recently admitted her problem with shyness. This is a woman who has appeared in many films, TV shows and interviews, yet in her early years she was so shy that she turned down a lunch invitation from Jane Fonda because she was terribly afraid of meeting her. I guess that our shyness is there because each of us is born with some insecurity and this insecurity prevents us from reaching out to others the way people with a more open personality do. As we grow up and become adults, we allow our social skills to grow and develop. But we are still stuck in kindergarten or elementary school or wherever it was when our shyness took root in our soul. 5. In the authors view, shyness can be explained as. A. a not very normal mental conditionB. a disease that can be easily curedC. something we pick up after birthD. a kind of emotional disability6. From the passage, we know that Johnny Carson. A. has dealt with shyness very successfullyB. has done away with his shyness carefullyC. is described as a hero in some legend booksD. failed to become a good talk show host7. The passage tells us that Sally Fields was. A. proud all the timeB. close to Jane FondaC. impolite when youngD. shy in her early years8. The author thinks that our shyness is there because. A. we are not open enoughB. we dont feel secure at heartC. we try to reach out to others all the timeD. we lack some social skills【拓展题型训练】. 情景对话根据对话情景和内容, 从对话后所给的选项中选出能填入每一空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两个为多余选项。Tom: Hi, Cathy. 1Cathy: I have to finish my project on the history of the Internet.

Agree to DisagreeF. Learn Every DayHealthy Relationship TipsHealthy relationships are effortless, if both the people involved take equal effort to maintain it. Here are a few healthy relationship tips to help you build the dream of your life. 1. Communication is an art of putting your thoughts into words, so that they are exactly understood by the opposite person. Communication does not mean going on talking unnecessarily. This is the first mistake that couples make. One person in the relationship assumes the role of talker and the other becomes the listener. Their roles remain so forever. The talker forgets to listen and the listener becomes used to listening and not reacting. If your partner takes time to open up, help them out by asking questions. So hear them out and give proper reactions. You will obtain the benefits of a healthy relationship through increased confidence in both of you to open up and hear things out. 2. Regular conversations take the form of heated arguments amongst many couples. Understand that not every statement needs a reaction. Maybe a certain reaction may lead to an argument with your partner. Just agree with whatever it is and there will be no harm done. Try and reach a mutual(相互的)agreement. If thats not possible leave the topic for later. If you give it time, maybe both of you will be able to think about it rationally. 3. Every single day is a blessing. Each moment with your partner is a moment to learn something new and discover the finer nuances(细微差别)of your relationships. Each one of us keeps changing every day, the circumstances around us change every day and with that our attitude also needs to change. The same applies when you are living with a person. Learning every day and taking every day as a challenge will help you perfect healthy relationship tips. 4. This tip is especially meant for couples with children on how to maintain healthy relationships. After a certain period, couples complain about romance being lost. To keep your relationship healthy, take some time out from your day-to-day routines to spend some quality time with your partner. This can be done as dinners, indulging in outdoor activities or just hanging out at a coffee shop like old times. 5. Respect has to be earned. It can be earned only if you learn to respect. Often, one of the partners plays the role of a dictator to give orders, while the other simply follows. Both sides involved are equally responsible for this mistake. Learn to respect each other and understand that both of you are equally responsible for the relationship. Creating a healthy relationship takes equal effort from both sides. Sharing, caring, being apologetic, forgiving and having realistic expectations are some of the important ingredients to the recipe of a healthy relationship. 答案解析. 【文章大意】70多岁的老太太开车闯了红灯, 在警察面前她轻松地把线穿过针眼, 这不仅避免了惩罚, 还使多年安全开车的纪录得以保持。1.【解析】选A。词语辨析题。结合句意分析句子结构可知空格后的句子“that she had never. . . been punisheda driving offence. ”是她为之骄傲的具体内容, 即与要填入的名词为同位关系, 故用fact(事实)。action行动; skill技能; age年龄, 都不能与that从句形成同位语。2.【解析】选D。习语搭配题。根据句意“她很自豪35年来从来没有因为违反交通法规而受到惩罚。”, punish sb. for sth. 由于某事而惩罚某人。3.【解析】选D。逻辑推理题。结合上文知道她始终保持着35年来没违规的纪录, 但下文说到她闯了红灯, 因此说那天她差点丢了这个纪录。lose丢掉, 符合句意。keep a record保持纪录。4.【解析】选C。背景常识题。警车跟在她后面, 用followed, 而watched不妥, 因为主语是警车, 而不是人。chase追赶, 根据上下文可知动作发生在警察发现她闯红灯之前, 警车在此之前没有理由追赶她或阻拦(stop)她。5.【解析】选A。逻辑推理题。根据下文的without stopping可知她pass a red light(闯红灯), 如用go, 则要用go by。6.【解析】选C。习语搭配题。此处缺少表语形容词, 因为主语为it, 相当于it is certain that句式, 故用certain, 不用sure, able, 因为sure, able常以人作主语; like一般不用于这一句式。7.【解析】选B。词汇复现题。根据下文第三段的内容可知对她的行为及年龄做出评论的是the judge, 故选B项。8.【解析】选C。习语搭配题。根据句意“她年纪太大了不能再开车了”可知这里是too. . . to. . . 结构, 表示“太而不能”。9.【解析】选B。词语辨析题。reason是说明某事或某现象的理由, 而cause则指火灾、水灾或事故的起因。此处在考查固定句式: the reason why. . . is that. . . 的原因是。10.【解析】选A。词汇复现题。根据上文可知她没有在红灯时停下来。“红灯”用red light。11.【解析】选A。逻辑推理题。根据句意“由于年龄老了, 她的视力不行了。”可知选表示原因的介词, 解释引起前面形容词weak的原因要用介词with, 此处相当于because of。12. 【解析】选B。逻辑推理题。在宾语从句中what很显然作的是动词的宾语, 可排除speak, 因为讲某种语言时它才是及物动词; 强调说话的内容用say。13.【解析】选C。词语辨析题。根据句意可知她拿出了随身携带的手提包。表示随身携带, 不强调方向性, 用carry, 而bring则表示由远往近带来。14.【解析】选D。词语辨析题。此处是挑了一根小眼的针, 用took, brought和picked都要加up或out。15. 【解析】选C。逻辑推理题。从下文内容来看, 老太太显然是成功了。修饰动词用副词。16.【解析】选A。词语辨析题。根据句意可知此处指针和线两者, 所以用both。17.【解析】选B。习语搭配题。its your turn表示轮到你了。很显然老太太想让警察穿针来证明她眼神很好。18.【解析】选D。词汇复现题。根据后面说他要thread it, 可知他要把线穿过针眼。刚谈过针线之事。19.【解析】选A。逻辑推理题。根据警察和老太太穿针的对比, 证明了警察的结论是错误的, 所以警察的指控是错误的, 故老太太的案子被取消了。be dismissed被取消了。20.【解析】选D。逻辑推理题。根据文章内容可知老太太的35年未违规的纪录仍然没被打破。remained“依然是”, 表示过去是这样, 现在仍然保持这一状态。seemed语气不够肯定; kept此处应用was kept。. 【文章大意】人们总是预测未来, 那么他们的预测一定会实现吗? 作者列举了很久以前人们对未来的预测的例子来证明并不是所有的预测都能完全实现。1.【解析】选B。主旨大意题。作者列举了很久以前人们对未来的预测的例子来证明并不是所有的预测都能完全实现。故选B项。2.【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据第二段中的Many of these predictions didnt consider how people would want to use the technology, or whether people really needed it in their lives or not. 可知作者认为很多的预测之所以
