阅读理解 1Last Friday after I got my pay, I went shopping on my way home. In the crowded supermarket, I lost my purse and my money was gone with it. I felt very angry and sad. We were not rich and the money was important for us. How could I tell my wife about it? I felt really sorry for losing the money. When I got home, I cleaned the house and prepared a nice meal. I hoped what I did could comfort(安慰) my wife. When she came back, she was surprised to see the clean house and the nice meal. Then I began to tell my story when we were at table, but my wife didnt respond (反映) as if she had not heard my words. Maybe she was trying hard to hide her anger, I thought. “Ive lost my pay.

For a moment, she said nothing but enjoyed the meal with me. “Ive lost my money, I could not help asking, “why dont you blame (责备) me? “Oh, my dear, she raised her eyes, looked at me and said, Im thinking about how to comfort you.

It is three-dimensional(3D), so you may have to wear a special pair of glasses to see it. The 3D glasses make the images(图像)from the movie look like they are coming straight at you.More and more 3D movies are coming to theaters. Some say that 3D TV sets will come into our homes in the near future. Three-dimensional technology can make TV and movies more exciting. But people with eye problems may get headaches if they spend too much time watching 3D movies. Why?When we look at an object, each eye sees it at a different angle(角度). Our eyes send the two images to our brain, and the brain puts them together. Thats how we see depth. Three-dimensional technology uses two film projectors(投影机). One projects a left eye image and the other projects a right eye image. 3D glasses allow us to see a different image in each eye.There are a lot of people walking around with very small eye problems, for example an eye muscle imbalance. Under normal situations, the brain can get used to their eyes so they can see things normally. But when they are watching a 3D movie, the images projected to their eyes cant be put together by their brain. So the brain needs to work harder at “reading” the images. That makes it easier for these people to get dizzy or develop headaches. Dr John Hagan, an eye doctor in Kansas City, said some people who do not see depth normally cannot see in 3D at all. He said people whose eyes cant focus on the same object at once will have trouble seeing 3D images.根据短文内容，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳答案。（10分）( )63.

But when you use the phone, you dont see the person you are talking with. That may change in the near future. Today some people are using a kind of telephone called the picture phone or vision phone.

Is it the telephone that lets us talk to people from all over the world? Is it the car that lets us travel at a great speed to meet others? Umberto Eco, an Italian writer, thinks it is something quite different. He says the most important invention might be right in front of our eyes. He is talking about a simple pair of glasses.Eyeglasses were invented around 1,000 years ago. Before glasses were invented, writers, scientists or teachers who could not see properly had to memorize everything. After about ten years of poor eyesight(视力), they could not remember well enough and could not work.Having glasses meant that people could work into their old age. People who wanted to remember information could write it down and read it. Eyeglasses are one of the worlds greatest inventions and were probably worn by the people who designed the first telephone and car.根据短文内容，判断正误。正确的写T，错误的写F。（共5小题，每题1分，满分5分）( ) 51.
