in 2040 it will not matter. they will turn themselves offand 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(发现) 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 cardthe one you use for shoppingmaybe 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 heatersb. we will use much more lights and heatersc. there will be no switches of lights and heatersd. lights and heaters will be on and off automatically42.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 sensorsc. make the locks out of date d. get rid of all crimes44. thanks to computers, in 2040 people will_.a. have no entertainment outside b. replace tv with computersc. be controlled by computers d. have more fun at home45. the best title for the passage might be _.a. sensors and computers b. life at home in the year 2040c. 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) emotionlike stress, anger, or frustration. what was going through your mind as you were going through that negativity? was your mind cluttered with (充斥) 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, thats right, stop. whatever youre doing, stop and sit for one minute. while youre sitting there, completely immerse yourself in the negative emotion. allow that emotion to consume you. allow yourself one minute to truly feel that emotion. dont cheat yourself here. take the entire minutebut only one minuteto 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 youve 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 youve had enough of the emotion, ask yourself if youre 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 simplealmost 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.46which one does not belong to the negative emotion?a. anxiety b. confusion c. depression d. sorrow 47what 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. 48the underlined word “immerse” (paragraph 2) most probably means _. a. break down b. get rid of c. cut off d. throw into 49whats 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. 50the authors opinion towards negative emotion is _.a. doubtful b. optimistic c. frightened d. confused (c)when two bangs meetsheldon 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 worlds 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).hawkings 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 computers 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 probably 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?
