Futurologists (未来学家) predict that life will probably be very different in 2050 in all the fields of activity, from entertainment to technology. First of all, it seems that TV channels will have disappeared by 2050. Instea
d, people will choose a programme from a “menu” (菜单) and a computer will send the programme directly to the television. Today, we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away. By 2050, music, films, programmes, newspapers and books will come to us by computer. We will also be able to see, smell and touch the things that we see on television.
In transport, cars will run on new, clean “gas” and they will go very fast. Cars will have computers to control the speed of the car 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 where you want to go. Space planes will fly all over the world and people will fly from Los Angels to Tokyo in just two hours.
In technology, robots will have replaced people in factories. Many factories already use robots. Big companies prefer robots — they do not ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere — in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.
Last but not least, medicine technology will have conquered many diseases. By 2050, we will be able to help blind and deaf people see again and hear again. Scientists will be able to produce clones (克隆) of people and decide how they look, how they behave and how much intelligence they have.

Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent.
—Victor Hugo
There is certainly no denying (否定) that while a holiday or trip to another country leaves you with a sense of excitement, moving to another county is something entirely different.Speaking from experience, one of the most worrying questions that play on everyone's mind is always: how will I make friends And it becomes even more terrible when a foreign language is thrown into the mix.
It is a long known fact that music creates bonds.For a good_reason,_many people have fallen in love or built lifelong friendships based on mutual (共同的) appreciation for a band.No matter who you are, or where you come from, everyone listens to music in some way.
So: you've met people, you're making friends, but you've only just overcome the “small talk” stages of these friendships.The next bit can sometimes be tricky.But, I always find, as soon as someone breaks the ice with the age old question “What type of music do you listen to？” the language barriers (障碍) seem to fall away.Music is something that everyone can speak excitedly about.
Music is one of the most important forms of self expression and individuality (个性), but, above all, it is a means of communication.Let's also not forget the sense of pride you feel when you introduce someone to a new song that they like.Music is a universal language that everyone can understand.Whether you're playing, singing or just listening, your mother tongue and cultural background become unimportant; so if you're ever at a loss for something to say, say it with music.
语篇解读：本文为议论文。音乐可以突破语言的限制，有助于人们在异域他乡的生活、工作和交际。

6．What does the underlined part “good reason” refer to
A．The bond.
B．The love for music.

D．The appreciation for a band.
解析：选B 词义猜测题。根据第二段的第一句和画线词所在句中的a band可知，对音乐的热爱是此处提到的原因。

A．To explain how to break the ice.
B．To teach us a good way to make friends.
C．To show music can help people communicate.
D．To prove it's hard to cross the language barriers.
解析：选C 推理判断题。文中第三段提到了该问题，再根据该段第一句和下文“...the language barriers(障碍) seem to fall away”可知，作者的目的是为了说明音乐能够帮助人们交流。
8．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．Music always makes people feel proud.
B．Music is different from the mother tongue.

语篇解读：本文为说明文。作为一款功能非常强大的交际应用程序，微信已经被广泛使用。但是，我们应该合理使用它。
1．is becoming 根据“nowadays”及“more and more”可知，这里用现在进行时。
2．to talk “to talk to”是动词不定式短语作后置定语，修饰不定代词someone。
3．using people是动词use所表示的动作逻辑上的主语，故用现在分词短语作后置定语，修饰people。
4．because/for 主句和从句之间在意义上存在因果关系，故用because/for引导原因状语从句。
5．a 微信是一个有用的聊天工具，故用不定冠词。

A
The weather affects many aspects of people's daily life. Knowing and understanding what the weather is doing will be useful.
However, the weather is also one of the most unpredictable elements in the world. Although many people watch the morning news gathering the information that is needed about the weather, this is often wrong. Whole days can be ruined by believing that the weather will be one thing, when it turns out to be another. However, owning wireless weather stations allows the owners to monitor the weather for themselves.
Not only will these weather stations allow the owners to see what the weather is doing, but it is personalized to them and their area. Wireless weather stations are specifically for the immediate neighborhood. Plans will be able to be made, and important decisions will no longer be ruined by bad weather.
Although these weather stations are typically seen in homes, they can also be used very easily on farms and fishing boats. Both farmers and fishermen rely on the weather for their business and using up to date weather information is essential. By using the wireless weather stations, they can determine when to harvest crops and head back to the shore. Due to the light size of the weather stations, they can be moved very easily and used anywhere they are needed.
Although the wireless weather stations are great for all homes, they are especially useful for areas that suffer from extreme weather conditions.
The up to date, instant weather reports will allow a person to monitor what the weather is doing and if the bad weather is heading in their direction. Extreme weather tends to come very quickly; therefore, any information that is received is helpful.
The weather stations are very simple to set up and are run by solar panels (太阳能电池板), ensuring they will work even if there is a power cut.
语篇解读：文章主要介绍了自建小型气象站的优点。
1．What's the main idea of the text
A．The weather and its effects on people's daily life.
B．Good reasons for having wireless weather stations.
C．The weather — the most unpredictable element in the world.
D．The importance of knowing and understanding the weather.
解析：选B 主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了无线的、小型气象站的一些独特优势，因此答案B是最佳选项。
2．With the second paragraph, the author intends to ________.
A．make it clear how popular the morning news is
B．show us how unpredictable the weather used to be
C．explain the value of having wireless weather stations
D．show how people got weather information in the past
解析：选C 推理判断题。在第二段中作者先介绍天气预报的缺点，然后引出自己想要表达的主题：小型气象站的优点。故答案为C。
3．What can we learn about a wireless weather station
A．A power failure can't affect its work.
B．It will substitute TV's weather report.
C．It is hard to set up but can be moved easily.
D．The information it provides is slow but specific.
解析：选A 推理判断题。文章最后一段的最后一句“they will work even if there is a power cut”可以推断出即使停电，这种天气预告机器也会照常工作。
4．Comparatively speaking, a wireless weather station will be most useful to ________.
A．TV weather reporters
B．power plants
C．fishermen working far out at sea
D．professors and students in universities

Have you ever wished you could see in the dark as well as an animal In action movies, we often see characters wearing special glasses that reveal things that can't be seen in darkness.Everything looks green, but we can see the shapes and outlines clearly.As a matter of fact, this is somewhat similar to the way animals' night vision (视力) works.
You may have noticed eyeshine in pictures of animals, or seen it for yourself when light hits an animal's eyes.Dogs, cats, and many other animals have tissue (组织) called the tapetum lucidum in each eye.The purpose of this tissue is to reflect (反射) light deeper into the eye.For many animals, it leads to their excellent night vision, and it helps them hunt.
Different types of animals have different colors of eyeshine.The light reflecting back from the eyes of dogs and cats is likely to be yellow.Rats and birds usually have eyes that shine red.Other animals' eyes may reflect white, yellow, green, or pink light.In each case, the color is related to the type of cells (细胞) that make up the tapetum lucidum, as well as the chemicals inside the cells.
Eyeshine has the function of improving animals' night vision, but humans have found other uses for it.For example, when people are searching for certain types of animals, their eyeshine may be helpful in recognizing or discovering them.Also, eyeshine has inspired humans to invent substances (物质) that reflect light at night.Strips containing this substance are used to warn us of safety risks such as raised parts of roads.Even though humans cannot see so well at night, we have still found ways to benefit from this amazing animal feature.
语篇解读：本文是说明文。动物之所以拥有人类所不能企及的夜视能力主要归功于它们特殊的眼部组织——眼耀。
5．How does the tapetum lucidum help animals' night vision
A．It sends out light in the dark.
B．It makes everything appear green.
C．It reflects light back into the eyes.
D．It enables them to see colors at night.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“...tissue(组织) called the tapetum lucidum in each eye.The purpose of this tissue is to reflect(反射) light deeper into the eye.”可知，动物眼睛里的反光膜(tapetum lucidum)通过反射光线进入眼里来增强它们的夜视能力。
6．How does the author mainly develop Paragraph 3
A．By providing reasons.
B．By giving examples.
C．By following space order.
D．By doing experiments.
解析：选B 写作手法题。第三段首句为该段的主题句，接下来通过列举不同种类的动物有着不同的眼耀(eyeshine)颜色来支撑该论点。
7．What can we learn about scientists' research on eyeshine
A．They've put it to practical uses.
B．They're using it to protect some animals.
C．They're trying to include more animal types.
D．They've invented special glasses based on it.
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“humans have found other uses for it”以及该段接下来具体列举的事例可知，科学家已经将关于动物眼耀的研究成果投入实际运用当中。
8．What is the text mainly about
A．How humans' night vision works.
B．Different colors of animals' eyes.
C．How animals see in the dark.
D．Eyeshine and its benefits.
解析：选D 主旨大意题。文章第一段引入主题，从第二段开始介绍动物眼耀的定义、具体原理以及人类对于它的运用。由此可知，文章主要介绍了眼耀及其优点。PAGE

Ⅳ.阅读理解
What the school of the future will be like is unknown, but most educators and observers agree that the future school will go electronic (电子的) with a capital E.
“This century, schools as we know them will no longer exist, ” says a feature in The Age publication, based in Melbourne, Australia.“In their place will be community style centers operating seven days a week, 24 hours a day.” Computers will become a necessary part for an effective school of the future.
Students, The Age says, will see and hear teachers on computers, with “remote learning”， the trend of tomorrow. Accessing “classrooms” on their home computers, students will learn at times most convenient for them. Yet some attendance (参加) at an actual school will be required to help students develop right social skills.
At Seashore Primary School, an imaginary school of the future created by the Education Department of Australia, technology is the thing that holds classes together. At the imaginary Seashore school：
◆all teachers and students have laptop computers.
◆teachers check voicemail and return students' calls on a special telephone system.
◆students use telephones to find information or speak to experts in subject areas they are studying.
◆all lessons are multidisciplinary (涉及多门学科的).
◆all students have individual learning plans created by teachers.
As Seashore's acting headmaster says, a laptop computer is the students' “library, homework, data storage, and connection to the wider world”．Technology has changed the emphasis (重点) to the learning of kids rather than the teaching of kids.
语篇解读：随着网络与电脑的发展，难以想象未来的学校会是什么样子。
1．________ will be very popular in the future.
A．Classroom learning B．Internet learning
C．Telephone learning D．Remote learning
解析：选D 细节理解题。从原文第三段中的“‘remote learning’， the trend of tomorrow”可知，远程学习将成为将来的流行趋势。
2．In the future, students should go to school sometimes to________.
A．hand in their homework
B．have an examination
C．develop right social skills
D．discuss problems with their teachers
解析：选C 细节理解题。即使将来学生们可以在家学习，但有时还必须去现实生活中的学校去接受正确的社交技能的培养。这从原文第三段末的“Yet some attendance (参加) at an actual school will be required to help students develop right social skills.”可知。
3．From the passage we can learn that________.
A．Seashore Primary School is a famous school situated in Melbourne
B．students will do their homework on the computers in the future
C．students have the same learning plans made by their teachers
D．students will have lessons from Sunday to Saturday
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“a laptop computer is the students' ‘library, homework ...’ ”可知“笔记本电脑是学生的图书馆、家庭作业、数据存储器，以及与更广阔世界的联系(纽带)”，因此B项正确。
Ⅴ.阅读七选五
Body language mistakes you should avoid at work
Communication is not only about words but also gestures.Therefore, you should be careful about how you use your body when expressing yourself.
Avoiding eye contact (接触)
When speaking with a workmate, avoiding eye contact makes you look unprofessional (不专业的)．__1__ Therefore, you should always keep eye contact especially when you are making a point.
Crossing your arms
Crossing your arms shows that you are not open to others and that you want to put a distance between yourself and them.__2__ In order to give others a warm feeling, just keep your arms open.
Checking the time
Checking the time every few minutes makes people feel you are in a hurry or would rather be somewhere else.__3__ Therefore, when you are speaking to your workmates, try not to look at the clock very often.
Bad body posture
Having a bad posture such as dropped shoulders or a lower neck can mean that you are not interested in what is going on around you.__4__ Also, keep your head high.
Weak handshake
A weak handshake means that you don't care much about the person you are shaking hands with.Try to greet the people with a firm (有力的) handshake.However, don't forget that a handshake that is too firm can be impolite.__5__

D．This shows that you have confidence in yourself.

1．选G 由该空前的“When speaking with a workmate, avoiding eye contact makes you look unprofessional (不专业的)．”可知，和同事说话时避免目光接触会让你看起来不够专业。G项“这也表明你不自信或是对话题没有兴趣”承接上文，符合此处语境。
2．选E 由该空前的“Crossing your arms shows that you are not open to others and that you want to put a distance between yourself and them.”可知，将双臂交叉于胸前是一种防备的姿势，故选E项。
3．选C 由该空前的“you are in a hurry or would rather be somewhere else”可知，不停地看表会让对方觉得你不想再待下去了，故选C项。
4．选F 由该空前的“dropped shoulders or a lower neck”和该空后的“Also, keep your head high.”可知，讲话时站直或是坐正非常重要，故选F项。
5．选A 由该空前的“Try to greet the people ...can be impolite.”可知，和他人握手时要把握好力度，故选A项。PAGE

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Electronic books have changed the way many people read for pleasure. Now online textbooks are changing the way some students learn and some teachers teach.
More than one hundred seventy five thousand students attend the public schools in Fairfax County, Virginia, outside Washington. Last year, the school system used digital books in fifteen schools. This school year, middle schools and high schools changed from printed to electronic textbooks in their social studies classes.
Luke Rosa is a history teacher at Falls Church High School. His students work on laptop computers at school. He explains the idea to them this way，“I mean, it's just like a regular textbook, except it's got it all, online.”
Peter Noonan, an assistant superintendent (助理监督) of schools, said，“The world's changing. And the online textbooks can change right along with the events that are happening.” Digital books also cost less than printed textbooks, he said.
A student named Melanie Reuter said, “I don't have to carry a textbook around, so that's nice.”
But another student said，“I don't like it because the Internet sometimes doesn't work.”
Students also need access to the Internet when they are not at school. About ten percent of students in Fairfax County do not have a computer or online access at home. Public libraries in the county have free Internet. There are also after school computer labs as well as computer clubhouses supported by the county. Middle school student Slieman Hakim is happy about that. He said, “My family only has one computer; my sister and I both do our homework on it. So I come here to do my homework. It's good.”
Other school systems in the area are also considering online textbooks.
语篇解读：随着因特网的普及，电子教材正在改变着学生学习和老师授课的传统模式。
1．One of the disadvantages of digital textbooks is that ________.
A．they're more expensive
B．they can't be used if the computer is offline
C．they're soon out of date
D．reading online does harm to students' eyes
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“I don't like it because the Internet sometimes doesn't work.”可推断出，这个学生认为电子教材的一个不利之处就是：当连接不上因特网的时候，电子教材就没法使用。故B项正确。
2．Why does Slieman Hakim feel happy
A．He is offered a free computer to do his homework.
B．He doesn't have to do his homework at home.
C．He has access to the Internet to study at any place.
D．He needn't share a computer with his sister to do homework.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“My family only has one ... It's good.”可知， Hakim家只有一台电脑，之前他和妹妹都需要上网做作业，必然会出现电脑之争。现在做作业不用和妹妹共用一台电脑了，他当然感到高兴。
3．What can we learn from the passage
A．All students like digital textbooks because they are new.
B．Digital textbooks are more beautiful than paper textbooks.
C．Students can do their homework in the computer clubhouses.
D．The lessons online are completely different from those in paper textbooks
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“There are also after school computer labs as well as computer clubhouses supported by the county.”可知，学生也可以在computer clubhouses做作业，所以C项正确。其他选项文中没有提到。
4．The passage aims to ________.
A．report the use of electronic textbooks in school
B．show how to use electronic textbooks
C．encourage more schools to use electronic textbooks
D．tell readers electronic textbooks will replace regular textbooks
解析：选A 推理判断题。本文主要介绍了美国费尔法克斯郡公立学校使用电子教材的情况，文章并没有教我们如何使用电子教材，也没有鼓励学校使用电子教材，更没有提到电子教材会取代普通教材。所以答案为A项。
