A. a ;a B. an; / C. a; / D. an; the
2. B【详解】考查冠词。句意：他每天早上花 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )一小时锻炼身体，然后去上班。根据句意，第一个空表示数量“一”，此处表示“一个小时”，应用不定冠词，且hour以元音音素开头，所以用an，第二个空用固定搭配go to work“去工作”，所以work前用零冠词，故选B。
3. "You __ hav ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e a wrong number," she said. "There's no one of that name here. "
A. need B. can C. must D. would
3. C【详解】考查情态动词。句 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )意：“你一定打错了电话号码，”她说。“这里没有那个名字。”从“There's no one of that name here.”可知“你一定弄错号码了”。此处表示“肯定的推测”，故用must。A.need需要；B.can可能；C.must一定；D.would会。can常表示一种 “理论上的”可能性，need显然不正确，would一般不表推测。故选C。

5. My parents_ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )_______ in Shandong. They were born there and have never lived anywhere, else.
A. lived B. will live C. were living D. live

6. The money will ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )be used to help the people________ homes were lost in the earthquake.
A. what B. whose C. whom D. which【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
6. B【详解】考查定语从句。句 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )意：这笔钱将用于帮助那些在地震中失去家园的人们。分析句子结构可知，空处需用关系词引导定语从句，先行词是people，指人，关系词在定语从句中作定语修饰名词homes，意为“……的”，所以空处需用关系代词whose引导定语从句。故选B。
7. Currently ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), about 35,000 works ________ in over 300 rooms in the Louvre, and it would take a lifetime to see everything.21世纪教育网版权所有

8. Mr. Black w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )alked around and offered help________ we were doing an experiment.
A. while B. although C. until D. unless

9. ________ their ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) hats into the air, the fans of the winning team shouted happily.
A. To throw B. Throwing C. Thrown D. Being thrown
9. B【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：获 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )胜队的球迷们把帽子抛向空中，高声欢呼。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词shouted，且空处没有连词，所以空处需用非谓语动词作状语，动词throw与主句主语the fans之间是主动关系，所以空处需用现在分词作状语。故选B。
10. We live in a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n age________ more information is available more easily than ever before.
A. why B. to whom C. when D. on which【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
10. C【详解】考查定语从句。句意： ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )我们生活在一个比以往任何时候都更容易获得更多信息的时代。分析句子结构和句意可知，此空引导定语从句，先行词是age，表示时间，从句结构完整，先行词在从句中作时间状语，所以此从句用关系副词when引导；也可用介词加关系代词引导，根据常用搭配in an age，可知介词选择in，age指物，关系代词用which，可用in which引导，结合选项，故选C。
11. --- Did you tidy your room
--- No, I was going to tidy my room but I ______ visitors.【出处：21教育名师】
A. had B. have C. have had D. will have
11答案：A
解析：根据所提供的情景“I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) was going to tidy my room”可判断出要用一般过去时，表示过去所发生的事。一般现在时表示经常性的动作或存在的状态。现在完成时表示已经完成动作或从过去某个时候开始一直延续到现在的动作。过去完成时表示一个动作或状态在过去某一时间或动作之前已经完成或结束，即“过去的过去”；都与所提供的情境矛盾。
12. --- Guess what! I have got A for my term paper.21*cnjy*com
--- Great! You ______ read widely and put a lot of work into it.
A. must B. should C. must have D. should have
12答案：C
解析：“must have + 动词+ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed形式”表示“一定做了某事”。根据所提供的情景“Guess what! I have got A for my team paper.”可判断出一定进行了广泛阅读并做了大量工作。must意为“一定，必须”，后接动词原形表示“一定或必须做某事”。should意为“应该”，后接动词原形表示“应该做某事”。都是对对方的要求。“should have + 动词+ed形式”表示“本来应该做某事，而没有做”，常用于表示责备。
13. The tradit ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ional view is ______ we sleep because our brain is “programmed” to make us do so.
A. when B. why C. whether D. that
13答案：D
解析：that引导表语从句，在从句中 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )只起连接作用，不作任何成分。“...we sleep because our brain is” programmed “to make us to so”是一个完整的句子，所以要用that引导。when和where在表语从句中作状语，分别表示“在……的时候”和“在……地方”。whether意为“是否”。
14. At minus 130℃, a living cell can be ______ for a thousand years.
A. spared B. protected C. preserved D. developed
14答案：C
解析：preserve 意为“保持,保 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )存”，根据所提供的情景at minus 130℃可判断出表示“至少在零下130℃，活体细胞才能被保存1000年。spare意为“节约,节省，分让,提供”；protect意为“保护”；develop意为“发展,发达,发扬,进步”。
15. As a new diplomat. he often thinks of ______ he can react more appropriately on such occasions.
A. what B. which C. that D. how
15.【答案】Ｄ
【解析】主要测试连词。此题同上面的第３７ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )题，解题关键：主要考虑句子中缺少什么成分。译文：作为一名新的外交官，他经常考虑对这种情况如何做出更加适合的反映。句子中缺少的应该是状语，而且四个答案充当的句子成分也各不相同，故此选how最佳。

I eventually broke ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) down and came up with a(n) 12 to ask him a question. When he looked up, I could see he 13 have been really upset as he had red eyes and still had some tears 14 down his face. We talked for about 20 minutes and he looked 15 . When leaving, he thanked me for being an angel by taking the time to talk.
Weeks had passed ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )when I noticed an envelope on my desk, 16 to nobody and only with the word angel written on it. I read the note inside it, filled with 17 . It was from the man I met on the train thanking me "again" for saving his life that day. He explained that in 18 he screamed out in his head, hoping there would be someone to 19 him from taking his life, and I was that "someone".
So the next time y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ou feel urged for no 20 reason to talk to a friend, relative, or even a complete stranger, please remember my story. You just may make a difference in someone's life when you listen to your inner voice.

解析:动词辨析。purchase购买;cho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ose挑选; place放置;recommend推荐。根据下文的信息,作者上班期间总是要面对各种各样的问题和可怕的会议,本空应该表示在火车上尽可能独处,所以会挑选一个远离别人的座位,故选B项。

6.解析:考查状语从句的连词。as, when, while都可以引导时间状语从句,表示“当……的时候”,但是as还可以表示原因,意为“由于,因为”, though引导让步状语从句,表示“尽管,虽然”。根据句意“我很高兴在他旁边坐下时他没有注意到,他的头还是低着的”可知,后面是原因,前面是结果,故选A项。
7.解析:动词辨析。guess猜测; imagine想象; assume假设;wonder奇怪,想知道。句意:很快我就发现自己很想知道那个人在想什么。因此D项符合句意。

15.解析:形容词辨析。worse恶化; better好转;weaker更弱; stronger更强。根据文意可知,那个人经过和作者的交谈打消了自杀的念头,故选B项,表示“他看上去好多了”。
16.解析:动词辨析。address写姓名地址: speak (to)讲话;refer (to)提及,参考,意指; respond (to)回答,回应。由于上文提到的是信,故本空应该指这封信没有姓名和地址,故选A项。

You probably ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years
Jane Addams(1860—1935)
Anyone who has ever ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区)by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson(1907—1964)
If it weren’t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O’Connor(1930—present)
When Sandra Day ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员)and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks(1913—2005)
On December 1,1955, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,”said Parks.
1.What is Jane Addams noted for in history
A.Her social work.
B.Her teaching skills.

B
It's nothing unusu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )al for people to multitask nowadays. But the ability to do a number of things at the same time could be different between the two sexes.
A team of UK ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) researchers recently compared the performances of 120 women and 120 men in a computer test about switching(转换) between tasks of counting and shape recognition.
Men equaled wo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )men when tasks were done one at a time. But when the tasks were mixed up, there was a clear difference. According to the paper published in the journal BMC Psychology, both women and men slowed down and made more mistakes as the switching became more rapid. But men were slower, taking 77 percent longer to answer, while women took 69 percent longer.
To make the experimen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t more connected to day to day life, researchers tried a second test. A group of women and men were given eight minutes to complete a series of everyday tasks, such as finding restaurants on a map, doing simple math problems, answering a phone call, or deciding how they would search for a lost key in a field.
Once again, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )women performed better than men in the test, especially in the key searching task.
Where do women get ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the ability to keep organized under pressure better than men Researchers believe that it has its origins in evolution (进化). In ancient times, women had to keep an eye on children while cooking meals. Meanwhile, men only needed to focus on hunting.
However, as wi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )th all studies, the results don't necessarily apply to every single person in the world. “We don't mean that men can't multitask, or that only women can，” researcher Keith Laws of the University of Hertfordshire, UK, told BBC News. “We are saying that the average woman is better able to organize her time and switch between tasks than the average man.”
4．In the tests, researchers found that ________.
A．women were better at switching between tasks than men
B．women made more mistakes than men when multitasking
C．men were better at counting and shape recognition than women
D．men completed a series of daily tasks more quickly than women
5．What is the main purpose of Paragraph 6
A．To give advice on how to improve the ability to multitask.
B．To show how men and women think and respond otherwise.
C．To compare the roles of men and women in human communities.
D．To explain why men and women perform differently in multitasking.
6．Which of the following would Keith Laws most probably agree with www.21-cn-jy.com
A．All women are born to be good at multitasking.
B．Some men are as good at multitasking as women.
C．Men shouldn't do jobs that call for multitasking skills.
D．Every woman is better able to multitask than every man.
【答案】ADB
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )文。文章主要讲了在测试中，研究人员发现一般而言，女性比男性更善于在不同任务之间切换，但是有些男性和女性一样擅长多任务处理。
4.答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段最后一 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )句及倒数第三段Once again, women performed better than men in the test, especially in the key searching task.(同样，女性在测试中表现得比男性更好，尤其是在线索寻找任务中。)可知，在测试中，研究人员发现女性比男性更善于在不同任务之间切换，故选A。
5.答案：D
解析：推理判断题。第六段开头便提出女 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )性在压力下比男性更有组织能力的原因是什么。研究人员认为它起源于进化。在古代，妇女做饭时必须照看孩子。与此同时，男性只需要专注于狩猎。由此推断出，第六段的主要目的是解释为什么男性和女性在多任务处理方面表现不同，故选D。
6.答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) “We don't mean that men can't multitask, or that only women can，” researcher Keith Laws of the University of Hertfordshire, UK, told BBC News. “We are saying that the average woman is better able to organize her time and switch between tasks than the average man.”(英国赫特福德郡大学的研究人员Keith Laws在接受BBC采访时说：“我们并不是说男性不能同时处理多项任务，或者只有女性才能。我们的意思是，平均来说，女性比男性更善于安排自己的时间，在不同的任务之
间切换。”)由此推断出，Keith Laws会同意“有些男人和女人一样擅长多任务处理”这样的观点，故选B。
C
Life will p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )robably be very different in 2050. First of all, it seems that TV channels will have vanished by 2050. Instead, people will choose a programme from a “menu” and a computer will send the programme directly to the television. By 2050, music, films, programmes, newspapers and books will come to us in the similar way.
In many places ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), agriculture is developing quickly and people are growing fruit and vegetables for export. This uses a lot of water. Therefore, there could be serious shortages of water. Some scientists predict that water could be the cause of wars if we don’t act now.
In the future ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), cars will run on new, clean fuels(燃料)and they will go very fast. Cars will have computers to control the speed and there won’t be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination. Also, by 2050, space planes will fly people from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours.
Some big companies n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ow prefer to use robots that do not ask for pay rises or go on strike, and work 24 hours a day. They are also easy to control. And they never argue with people. They can be easily used in a variety of places—factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.
Scientists will ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )have discovered how to control genes(基因). Scientists have already produced clones of animals. By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look and how they behave. Scientists will be able to do these things, but should they
8. Which of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )following best explains the underlined word “vanished” in Paragraph 1

9. What does Paragraph 4 intend to show
A. Robots can work in different places.
B. Robots have much to be improved.
C. Robots work for humans for free.
D. Robots have many advantages.
10. What does the author want to express in the last paragraph www-2-1-cnjy-com
A. He probably disagrees with the idea of human cloning. 21教育名师原创作品
B. He is looking forward to using cloning technology.
C. The scientists have already discovered how to control genes. 2·1·c·n·j·y
D. The scientists will face many difficulties of controlling genes.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. High-tech Cars
B. Life in the Future
C. Is Cloning Really Good
D. Are You Ready for the Future
【答案】CDAB
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文, 介绍了可能会与现在大不相同的2050年的生活。
【解析】
8.【解析】选C。词义猜 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )测题。根据后句可知, 人们将从“菜单”中选择节目, 电脑将直接把节目发送到电视上。故猜测画线词所在句it seems that TV channels will have vanished by 2050意思是: 电视频道似乎将在2050年消失。故推测画线词“vanished”的意思是“消失”。settle解决;spread传播;disappear消失;decrease减少。故选C。
9.【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )第四段可知, 机器人不要求加薪或罢工, 一天24小时工作。它们也很容易控制。它们从不和人争论。它们可以很容易地用于各种场所。由此推断出, 第四段主要说明了机器人的诸多好处, 故选D项。
10.【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据最后一段 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )中By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look and how they behave. 可知, 到2050年, 科学家将能够克隆出人类, 并决定他们的长相和行为。最后作者以Scientists will be able to do these things, but should they 结束文章, 由此推断出作者可能不同意克隆人的想法, 故选A。
11.【解析】选B。标题归纳题。第一段中 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Life will probably be very different in 2050. 是全文的主题句, 结合全文内容, 可知本文主要讲述了未来的生活, 故选B。
D
Is there anyb ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ody out there For centuries humans have wondered although the ways in which we have gone about this have varied. As we have gained a greater understanding of the universe, our searches have taken on more concrete(具体的) forms. Questions about aliens(外星人) have become a subject for science rather than science fiction.
Now new coop ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eration between the Very Large Array (VLA) observatory in New Mexico and the SETI Institute in California means that our curiosity about whether aliens exist can be closer than ever before to being satisfied. Data from the VLA’S 28 radio telescopes, used to scan a vast area of sky, will be fed through a special supercomputer that will search for distant signals.
How likely i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t is that a signal will be found, and what this might mean, are hard questions to answer. SETI’s existing projects have not discovered any signals from other planets so far. But recent discoveries in space and Earth sciences have provided some encouragement for those who are enthusiastic about the possibility, however remote, of detecting other civilizations.
Once it was thought t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat our solar system could be unique. Since the discovery of the first exoplanet (a planet beyond the solar system) in the 1990s, thousands more have been located. Around one in five stars is now thought to have a planet in their orbit(运行轨道) in a so-called “habitable(适合居住的) zone”—that is, at a distance from the star where the temperature means that life is theoretically possible.
Are Earth’s 7. 5 bi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )llion humans, along with billions of other animals and plants they share their home with, on their own in the universe If there is another life form somewhere, could it be as intelligent as humans Or could it threaten them I think all of these need further exploration. As explorations of Mars continue, and a new set of observations from the James Webb Space Telescope are set to begin, our interest in the possibility of alien life appears as much as before. 21教育网
12. Why does the VLA work with SETI
A. To develop ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )new radio telescopes. B. To find evidence of aliens’ existence.
C. To build a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) special supercomputer. D. To search for distant signals.
13. What is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the encouraging news for scientists exploring distant civilizations
A. Life does indeed exist on exoplanets.
B. New technologies are employed to find aliens.
C. Some exoplanets may have habitable zones.
D. Signals have been discovered from other planets.
14. What is the author's attitude to the existence of aliens
A. Uncertain. B. Positive. C. Unacceptable. D. Worried.
15. What might be the best title for the text
A. Space: the unknown place B. Finding aliens: possible or not
C. Receiving signals: ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) aliens appear again D. Exoplanets: home of aliens
【答案】 BCAB
【解析】
32. 推理判断题。根据第二段中“ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Now new cooperation between the Very Large Array (VLA) observatory in New Mexico and the SETI Institute in California means that our curiosity about whether aliens exist can be closer than ever before to being satisfied”可推知，他们合作的目的应是找到外星人存在的证据。故选B项。
33. 细节理解题，根据第三段中“ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )But recent discoveries in space and Earth sciences have provided some encouragement”可知，近年来在太空和地球科学上的新发现很鼓舞人心，而这些发现指的是第四段中的“Since the discovery of the first exoplanet (a planet beyond the solar system) in the 1990s, thousands more have been located. Around one in five stars is now thought to have a planet in their orbit(运行轨道) in a so-called “habitable(适合居住的) zone”—that is, at a distance from the star where the temperature means that life is theoretically possible. (自上世纪90年代发现第一颗系外行星(太阳系以外的行星)以来，又发现了数千颗系外行星。目前，人们认为大约五分之一的恒星在其轨道上有一颗行星，位于所谓的“宜居带”，也就是说，在与恒星的距离上，温度意味着理论上可能存在生命。)”，即发现了数千颗系外行星以及所谓的“宜居带”，“宜居带”的温度意味着理论上生命可能存在。故选C项。
34. 推理判断题。根据最后一段 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )中“Are Earth’s 7. 5 billion humans, along with billions of other animals and plants they share their home with, on their own in the universe If there is another life form somewhere, could it be as intelligent as humans Or could it threaten them I think all of these need further exploration. (地球上的75亿人类以及与之共享家园的数十亿其他动物和植物，在宇宙中是只有他们自己吗？如果在某个地方存在另一种生命形式，它会和人类一样聪明吗？或者它会威胁到他们吗？我认为这些都需要进一步的探索。)”可知，作者对于外星人是否存在持不确定的态度。故选A项。
35. 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )要围绕外星人是否存在以及人类探索外星人所付出的努力展开，故B项“找到外星人：可能吗？”适合作为文章标题。故选B项。

At a special cere ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mony（仪式）, a special award was offered to a group of students from Changjiang University on February 11, 2010. They were brave enough to help save two boys from Changjiang River. All the students were there except three, who lost their lives when they tried to save the boys.
On the afternoon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of October 24, 2009, some students were taking a trip to Changjiang River. Suddenly two boys fell into the river. Some of them quickly jumped into the water and saved one boy. However, things didn’t go so well when they tried to save the other one. More students joined in, and, hand in hand, they formed a human wall. Finally the other boy was saved.21·世纪*教育网
However, the huma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n wall broke down and many students were swept away by the rushing water. At that moment several members of a winter swimming team nearby came to help and succeeded in saving many of the students. But the three of them, who were only 19, were nowhere to be found.

Dear editor,
Here is my composition.
Born in American, Th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )omas Edison was a great scientist and inventor. He once thought to be a boy who was not worth educating. In fact, he was a man full of imagination. 21·cn·jy·com
I admire Edison ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a lot because of his great contribution to the world. He had more than 1000 inventions. In his little time, he was always eager to know how things worked, which helped him to earn the nickname “the Wizard of Meio Park”. He was also so diligent that he worked day and night. And this explained why he had so many inventions.
What impresses me mos ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t is his famous saying, “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration”. Probably I cannot be an Edison myself, but I can be a hardworking learner. From him, I realize the secret to success is not when and where you were born, but what you are doing and how you do it in your life.
I will appreciate it if you can polish it at your convenience. 【版权所有：21教育】

You probably k ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )now who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years
Jane Addams(1860—1935)
Anyone who ha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区)by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson(1907—1964)
If it weren’t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O’Connor(1930—present)
When Sandra D ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ay O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员)and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks(1913—2005)
On December 1,1955, i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,”said Parks.
1.What is Jane Addams noted for in history
A.Her social work.
B.Her teaching skills.
C.Her efforts to win a prize.
D.Her community background.
2.What was the reason for O’Connor’s being rejected by the law firm
A.Her lack of proper training in law.
B.Her little work experience in court.
C.The discrimination against women.
D.The poor financial conditions.
3.What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text
A.They are highly educated.
B.They are truly creative.
C.They are pioneers.
D.They are peace-lovers.

It's nothing unusual f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )or people to multitask nowadays. But the ability to do a number of things at the same time could be different between the two sexes.21教育名师原创作品
A team of UK researche ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs recently compared the performances of 120 women and 120 men in a computer test about switching(转换) between tasks of counting and shape recognition.
Men equaled women wh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )en tasks were done one at a time. But when the tasks were mixed up, there was a clear difference. According to the paper published in the journal BMC Psychology, both women and men slowed down and made more mistakes as the switching became more rapid. But men were slower, taking 77 percent longer to answer, while women took 69 percent longer.
To make the exp ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eriment more connected to day to day life, researchers tried a second test. A group of women and men were given eight minutes to complete a series of everyday tasks, such as finding restaurants on a map, doing simple math problems, answering a phone call, or deciding how they would search for a lost key in a field.
Once again, wom ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )en performed better than men in the test, especially in the key searching task.
Where do women get th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e ability to keep organized under pressure better than men Researchers believe that it has its origins in evolution (进化). In ancient times, women had to keep an eye on children while cooking meals. Meanwhile, men only needed to focus on hunting.
However, as ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )with all studies, the results don't necessarily apply to every single person in the world. “We don't mean that men can't multitask, or that only women can，” researcher Keith Laws of the University of Hertfordshire, UK, told BBC News. “We are saying that the average woman is better able to organize her time and switch between tasks than the average man.”
4．In the tests, researchers found that ________.
A．women were better at switching between tasks than men
B．women made more mistakes than men when multitasking
C．men were better at counting and shape recognition than womenwww.21-cn-jy.com
D．men completed a series of daily tasks more quickly than women
5．What is the main purpose of Paragraph 6
A．To give advice on how to improve the ability to multitask.
B．To show how men and women think and respond otherwise.
C．To compare the roles of men and women in human communities.
D．To explain why men and women perform differently in multitasking.
6．Which of the following would Keith Laws most probably agree with 21世纪教育网版权所有
A．All women are born to be good at multitasking.
B．Some men are as good at multitasking as women.
C．Men shouldn't do jobs that call for multitasking skills.
D．Every woman is better able to multitask than every man.

Life will proba ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )bly be very different in 2050. First of all, it seems that TV channels will have vanished by 2050. Instead, people will choose a programme from a “menu” and a computer will send the programme directly to the television. By 2050, music, films, programmes, newspapers and books will come to us in the similar way.
In many places, ag ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )riculture is developing quickly and people are growing fruit and vegetables for export. This uses a lot of water. Therefore, there could be serious shortages of water. Some scientists predict that water could be the cause of wars if we don’t act now.
In the fut ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ure, cars will run on new, clean fuels(燃料)and they will go very fast. Cars will have computers to control the speed and there won’t be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination. Also, by 2050, space planes will fly people from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours.
Some big co ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mpanies now prefer to use robots that do not ask for pay rises or go on strike, and work 24 hours a day. They are also easy to control. And they never argue with people. They can be easily used in a variety of places—factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.
Scientists ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) will have discovered how to control genes(基因). Scientists have already produced clones of animals. By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look and how they behave. Scientists will be able to do these things, but should they
8. Which of the foll ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )owing best explains the underlined word “vanished” in Paragraph 1
A. Settled. B. Spread. C. Disappeared. D. Decreased.
9. What does Paragraph 4 intend to show
A. Robots can work in different places.
B. Robots have much to be improved.
C. Robots work for humans for free.
D. Robots have many advantages.
10. What does the author want to express in the last paragraph
A. He probably disagrees with the idea of human cloning.
B. He is looking forward to using cloning technology.
C. The scientists have already discovered how to control genes.
D. The scientists will face many difficulties of controlling genes.
