（ A ）
You've probably never heard of Martin Cooper, but he's invented something that half the people on the planet carry around with them every day. It sits on tables in restaurants. It rings unexpectedly in cinemas and theatres. It keeps you in touch with family, friends and the whole world 24 hours a day. I'm sure you've guessed now what it is--a mobile phone.
Martin Cooper was born on 26 December, 1928, in Chicago, USA. As a child, he loved taking things apart and inventing things. In 1950, he graduated from the lllinois Institute of Technology, and then he joined the U. S. Naval Reserve, where he served on a submarine(潜艇).
In 1973, Martin Cooper didn't know that he was going to change the world. But then he and his team at the company Motorola created the first mobile phone. That first mobile phone cost Motorola a lot of money to make.
The mobile phone wasn't brought to market until 1983. It was sold for about $4, 000. It was the size of a brick (砖) and it weighed 1.1 kg. In fact, it was the battery that was heavy. The battery weighed four or five times more than the phone and it could only work for about 30 minutes. At that time, Martin Cooper never imagined that years later mobile phones would be so cheap. And he never imagined that the battery would work for days.
And what of the future Martin Cooper thinks maybe the mobile phone of the future will be placed under our skin behind our ear with a very powerful computer which will be our servant. What do you think
（ ）1. When Martin Cooper was young, he was __________.
A.lazy B.popular C.creative D.careless
（ ）2. What do we know about the first mobile phone sold to the public
A. It was sold for $400. B. It was 1.1 kg in weight.
C. It was the size of a book. D. It was able to work for several hours.
（ ）3. The last paragraph is mainly about Martin Cooper's __________.
A. life in Motorola B.recent invention
C.future research plans D. prediction about the mobile phone
（ B ）
We now have more free time than ever before. In many countries, the average(平均的) working week is now under 40 hours, far shorter than it was for our parents and grandparents before us. So why do our lives feel so busy ▲
People sleep for about eight hours a day, which means we spend 26 years in our beds, in an average lifetime of 78 years. We spend another eleven years watching TV and, depending on where you live, two years of that can be spent just watching the ads!
In a typical lifetime, we spend around 91,000 hours at work, which is nearly ten and a half years. And do you drive to work If so, you can say goodbye to at least another year of your life--even more if you work in a big city like Istanbul or Rio de Janeiro and have to sit in traffic jams(堵车) every day.
In many countries, the law requires young people to stay in school until they're at least 16 years old. Many go on to higher education at a university or college. That means we spend, on
average, 31,000 hours--about three and a half years of our lives--studying.
Two and a half years of our lives are spent in the bathroom, brushing our teeth, using the toilet, taking a shower, and getting ready to go out. Shopping uses up another two and a half years, and we spend at least another four years eating.
The introduction of modern appliances(家用电器), such as dishwashers, washing machines, and microwaves, means that we spend less time cooking and cleaning than our parents did. Women still do most of the housework, but men are sharing domestic(家庭的) tasks more than they used to.
In recent years, the biggest change in how we spend our time is technology. We spend an average of five years online and almost four years using our phones, and those numbers are increasing every year.
If you add up all that time, it leaves you with just over two years on average to spend with family and friends, to see the world, and to achieve your dreams.
So, what are you waiting for The clock is ticking(发出滴答声)!
（ ）1. Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ”
A. How can we stop it B. Where does our time go
C. What can we do about it D. Who is responsible for this
（ ）2. According to Paragraph 5, it takes two and a half years of our lives to __________.
A.eat B.shop C.use the toilet D.brush our teeth
（ ）3. How does the writer develop the passage
A. By telling stories. B. By giving facts.
C. By comparing differences. D. By asking questions.
（ ）4. The main purpose of the passage is to encourage us to __________.
A.love family B.achieve dreams C. get a watch D. value our time

参考答案
一、口头表达
Many people think there are aliens. However, I don’t agree with them. In my opinion, there are not aliens at all because they don’t get in touch with us. We try to send out messages to space, but we haven’t received any messages from them so far. Don’t they want to make friends with us Aren’t they interested in the Earth If I am an alien, I will be very interested in the Earth and get in touch with it.
So I think it’s impossible to have aliens on other planets.
