Knowing that this was his chance, he took a sandwich and headed across the field towards the house with the golden windows.As the afternoon went on, he began to know how wrong he was. The house was much farther than he had expected. As he went near the house, he saw no golden windows but instead a place in bad need of a painting. A small girl very close to his age came out of the poor house and stood by the broken fence. He asked her if she had seen the house with the golden windows. The girl said, Sure, I know.and invited him to sit on the porch (门廊).As he sat there, he looked back from where he just came. There he saw the sunset turned the windows of his house to gold!

Although laws have been introduced to ban the selling of tusks, they have not been enough to save the elephants.But the giant animals have now “developed” their own solution to stay safe from hunters-by not growing tusks at all.Scientists found that among female African elephants, as many as 98 percent of them now have no tusks, reported The Independent newspaper. The number was 15 percent in 1998 and only 1 percent in 1930, according to the BBC.But this solution has less been developed by elephants themselves, and more by evolution.Evolution is all about natural selection（选择）. When an environment changes, for example, animals and plants that can deal with the change will stay alive while others wont. And for elephants, the change came when hunters started killing them for their tusks. As a result, elephants with big tusks couldnt stay alive because hunters wanted to shoot them. Those born with tusks managed to stay alive and give their “tuskless” genes（基因）to their babies. As a result, more and more elephants are now being born without tusks.But this solution, as effective（有效地）as it might be, is a high price to pay for elephants. Tusks are important and play a number of roles, especially for male elephants, including fighting with other males, lifting and digging things up.This is why scientists hope there can be other ways to protect elephants against hunters. They believe that when they are less likely to be killed, elephants will be able to grow tusks again.To David Cowdrey, head of Policy and Campaigns at the International Found for Animal Welfare UK, however, this is not very likely to happen in the near future.“Unfortunately, it comes down to the markets,” he told The Guardian. “As long as people will pay high prices for products that come from endangered animal and plants, theyre going to have price on them and that causes the hunting.”（1）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A . Elephants learned to lift and dig things up without tusks.B . Elephants chose not to grow tusks because of their dangerous environment.C . Elephants with no tusks had a greater chance of passing down their genes.D . A tuskless elephant gives birth to more baby elephants than an elephant with big tusks.（2）The underlined word “evolution” in paragraph 4 means “_” ? A . gradual changeB . sudden developmentC . complete lossD . rapid growth（3）What can you learn from the last two paragraphs? A . We should work out a better solution to protect elephants.B . People should pay lower prices for products made with elephant tusks.C . Elephants living environments will soon be improved.D . The key to elephant protection is stopping the trade in tusk products.24. （10分）阅读理解CIn the future, your automobile will run on water instead of gas! You will be able to buy a supercomputer that fits in your pocket! You might even drive a flying car!For each prediction(预言) that has come true today, several others have missed by a mile. Many of these predictions didnt consider how people want to use the technology, or if 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 any time 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 it hasnt 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 tomorrowIn 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 overlooked something obvious: People desire for privacy. Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just stepped out of the shower?Probably notit could be embarrassing! Just because a technology available(可利用的) doesnt always mean people will want to use it.Flying carsAnd finally, how about that crazy prediction of the flying car? Its not so crazy any more! 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 . three useful high-tech inventionsD . what technology will bring about（2）The underlined word “weird” in Paragraph 5 probably means_? A . cheapB . stupidC . practicalD . strange（3）What did the American company predict about video phones by the year 2000? A . People have video phones that fits in their pockets.B . Video phones are widely used in peoples homes.C . People like using video phones after taking a shower.D . Video phones are available and people desire for them.（4）What does the author think of the flying car? A . It is too difficult to imagine.B . It is a crazy idea.C . It is possible to be made.D . It is not available to people.（5）Which of the following is probably NOT the authors belief? A . Predictions neednt consider peoples practical use of technology.B . The future isnt always easy to guess.C . Not all of past predictions have come true.D . Many of the high-tech things our parents thought wed be using by now simply never appeared.25. （10分）（2015贵州贵阳）阅读下列材料，根据内容选择最佳答案。When Susan Chen left high school, she want to go to university.
