This hasnt quite happened in real life.But the world is already experiencing a revolution using RFID technology.A RFID tag with a tiny chip can be fixed in a product，under your pets skin，even under your own skin.Passive RFID tags have no energy sourcebatteries because they do not need it.The energy comes from the reader，a scanning device，that sends out energy(for example，radio waves) that starts up the tag immediately.Such a tag carries information specific to that object, and the data can be updated.Already，RFID technology is used for recognizing each car or truck on the road and it might appear in your passport.Doctors can put a tiny chip under the skin that will help locate and obtain a patients medical records.At a nightclub in Paris or in New York the same chip gets you into the VIP(very important person) section and pays for the bill with the wave of an arm.Take a step back：10 or 12 years ago, you would have heard about the coming age of computing.One example always seemed to surface：Your refrigerator would know when you needed to buy more milk.The concept was that computer chips could be put everywhere and send information in a smart network that would make ordinary life simpler.RFID tags are a small part of this phenomenon.“The world is going to be a loosely coupled set of individual small devices，connected wirelessly，”predicts Dr.J.Reich.Human right supporters are nervous about the possibilities of such technology.It goes too far tracking school kids through RFID tags, they say.We imagine a world in which a beer company could find out not only when you bought a beer but also when you drank it.And how many beers.Accompanied by how many biscuits.When Marconi invented the radio，he thought it would be used for shiptoshore communication.Not for pop music.Who knows how RFID and related technologies will be used in the future？Heres a wild guess：Not for buying milk.1The article is intended to_.Awarn people of the possible risks in adopting RFID technologyBexplain the benefits brought about by RFID technologyCconvince people of the uses of RFID technologyDpredict the applications of RFID technology2We know from the passage that with the help of RFID tags，people_.Awill have no trouble getting data about othersBwill have more energy for conversationCwill have more time to make friendsDwont feel shy at parties any longer3Passive RFID tags chiefly consist of_.Ascanning devices Bradio wavesCbatteries Dchips4Why are some people worried about RFID technology?ABecause children will be tracked by strangers.BBecause market competition will become more fierce.CBecause their private lives will be greatly affected.DBecause customers will be forced to buy more products.5The last paragraph implies that RFID technology_.Awill not be used for such matters as buying milkBwill be widely used，including for buying milkCwill be limited to communication usesDwill probably be used for pop music1Now he was sure that he was being followed.(完形填空第一段第七句)现在他确信他被人跟踪了。(1)You may be sure of/about his honesty.你可以确信他是诚实的。(2)Im sure that smoking is harmful to you.我确信吸烟对你有害。(3)He is sure to come tonight.他今晚一定会来。2Imagine youre at a party full of strangers.(阅读理解第一段首句)想像一下你参加一个都是陌生人的聚会。(1)Imagine you are in New York.想像一下你正在纽约。(2)She imagined walking into the office and telling everyone what she thought of them.她想像自己走进办公室，告诉每个人她对于他们的想法是什么。(3)Imagine yourself (to be) rich and famous.想像一下你既有钱，又有名的情况。3.a beer company could find out not only when you bought a beer but also when you drank it.(阅读理解倒数第二段第五句)啤酒公司不仅知道你什么时候买的啤酒而且知道你什么时候喝的。(1)He not only read the book，but also remembered what he read.他不仅读过这本书，还记得内容。(2)Not only can he speak English，but also he can speak French.他不仅能说英语，而且还能说法语。Test 4.1.A转过身的是一个点，不是一个面(a park)或一条线(a street or a way)。2B有脚步声，必有人走近。3D根据下文“.became faster，too”可确定答案。4B这是两个对比句：他走得越快，(后面的)脚步声越快；他放慢步子，脚步声也慢了下来。5D这一句是对上述情况的综述。6A根据情景只能选A项。7D既然是求方法，应选D项。8Bfind oneself是固定搭配，意为“发现自己处于某种状态”。9B谓语既用followed，主语必是后面的那个人。10D从上文“so he jumped over a fence”可知，跟着跳过的是篱笆。11C这是一道迷惑性较大的题。“充塞着心坎”，这里
