They will turn themselves off and on again when you return. You will choose the temperature for each room, the lighting and the humidity (湿度). A sensor will detect the presence of a human (and, with luck, ignore the dog!)and turn the systems n, 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 detect faulty electrical appliances (电器), plugs or switches, isolate (使绝缘) them so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the fire brigade. It will also call the police if the sensors detect an intruder (入侵者). This will not be too difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic. You will open them using your personal card the one you use for shopping may be 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 now very difficult to make such tampering send a signal to the computer.The computer 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.36. The author intends to tell us that in 2040_.A. we will live without lights and heatersB. we will sue more lights and heatersC. there will be no switches of lights and heatersD. lights and heaters will be on the off automatically37. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The sensor is multi functional.B. Without a computer, the sensor can not do much.C. The sensor will detect fire and make an emergency call.D. You can be taken for an intruder if you tamper with the lock or with a window.38. According to the author, in 2040, new technology will_.A. free us from the keys we use todayB. turn everything into sensorsC. make the locks out of dateD. get rid of all crimes39. Thanks to computers, in 2040 people will _.A. have no entertainment outsideB. replace TV with computersC. be controlled by computersD. have more fun at home40. The best title for the passage might be_.A. Sensors and ComputersB. Life at Home in the Year 2040C. The Development of Science and TechnologyD. Lights and Heaters in the Year 2040BJames Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His families moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There a schoolteacher asked the youth his name.“J.C.” he replied. She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.Owens ran his first race at the age of 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a secondyear student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.The stage was set for Owens victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic (运动的) but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the AfricanAmerican winners.“It was all right with me,” he said years later. “I didnt go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.”Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone call from the President of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.Owens Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles, and dogs.“Sure, it bothered me,” he said later. But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”In time, however, his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,” he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.”41. Owens got his other name “Jesse” when_.A. he went to Ohio State UniversityB. his teacher made fun of himC. his teacher took “J.C.” for “Jesse”D. he won gold medals in the Big Ten meet42.

The underlined sentence means that the medals_.A. been changed for money to help him live onB. made him famous in the U.S.C. encouraged him to overcome difficulties in lifeD. kept him busy with all kinds of jobs45. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. Jesses Owens, a Great American AthleteB. Golden Moment a Life time StruggleC. Making a Living as a SportsmanD. How to Be a Successful AthleteCToday, when a man steps on to the moon, or something new and important happens the world learns about it immediately. What did the newspapers say about that first flight in 1903? Strangely enough, they said hardly anything about it at all. There were only a few reports about it in the papers. These reports said very little. Some of the things they said were not even correct.In 1904 the Wrights built a second machine. They called it “Flyer No. Two”. They invited some reporters to a field near Dayton to watch them fly. Unfortunately, there were some mechanical (机械的)trouble with the plane and it did not fly at all that day. The newspapermen went away. They were disappointed and did not come back. The Wrights went on with their work. In 1905, they built an even better machine, “Flyer No. Three”. They were able to stay upon the air for half an hour and more in the machine. Farmers and travelers on the road around the Dayton often saw tem flying, but when three people told newspapermen about it, they refused to believe them.The Wrights offered “Flyer No. Three” to the United States government. The government was not interested. They seemed to think the Wrights wanted money in order to build a place. They did not understand the Wrights had already done this, and flown it well. Experts were still saying that mechanical flight was impossible. At the end of 1905 the two brothers took their planes to pieces. The parts were put into a huge wooden box. It seemed nobody was interested.46.

The dogs home is a travelers shelter(避难所) kept by Augustinian monks(修道士). It stands at the highest point of the Great Saint Bernard Pass. For hundreds of years the pass has been used for travel between Switzerland and Italy. The journey was often dangerous.Snow and ice still block the pass for months. But the dogs are no longer needed to search it after a storm. In 1964 the Great Saint Bernard Tunnel was opened for motor transport. The tunnel, only three and a half miles long, was the first Alpine tunnel for road traffic.Motorists are not the only users of the Great Saint Bernard Tunnel.
