Visitors to a Stockholm hotel will be able to use mobile phones instead of keys to unlock the doors of their rooms.Assa Abloy，the world’s largest maker of door locks，has launched a pilot in which the Clarion Hotel in Stockholm will lend customers mobile phones with close-range radio chips.
Repeat visitors during a four-month trial will be able to check in(在旅馆登记) using their phones before arrival and have their phones activated(激活) as “keys”．They will then be able to unlock the door by holding the phone next to it.
The short-range radio technology，known as Near Field Communication (NFC)，is expected to be built into smart phones in the coming years.It is also expected to be used for ticketing and card payments.Assa Abloy said it wanted to test the system before expanding(扩展) it to other hotels，commercial buildings and homes.
Greger Johansson，who works at research firm Redeye，said NFC is hot technology in the mobile phone market.But he said few models have used it so far and it will take “several years” before it becomes widely used.
The head of Assa Abloy’s mobile keys department，Daniel Berg，said that those who took part in the trial may find it cumbersome(笨重的) to have an extra mobile phone.But once people have the technology in their own phones，he said，it will save them time at check-in and improve safety.He said the phone technology works with existing radio-enabled locks，so hotels can continue giving key cards to visitors who don’t have the new technology in their phones.
1．Which of the following customers can take part in the trial?
A．Those who will live in the hotel for four months.
B．Those who carry at least three mobile phones.
C．Those who have stayed at the hotel at least twice.
D．Those who pay for the extra mobile phone.
2．From the text we can know that the NFC technology ________.
A．can only be used in the hotels
B．is still being developed at present
C．has been built into smart phones
D．failed in the experiment for card payments
3．Which of the following is a disadvantage of the mobile phone system mentioned in the text at present?
A．Customers have to carry at least two phones at the same time.
B．It is too expensive for customers to buy the mobile phone.
C．The hotel can’t make sure that customers are safe.
D．Customers have to check in before and after their arrival.
4．What’s the best title of the passage?
A．Keys Are Used As Mobile Phones
B．The Mobile Phone Market Is Enjoying a Boom
C．Visitors to a Stockholm Hotel Enjoy Special Service
D．Hotel Replaces Room Keys with Mobile Phones

第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real.You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control your behaviour，but when you’re asleep，your sleeping position shows the real you.In a normal night，of course，people frequently change their position.The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.
If you go to sleep on your back，you’re a very open person.You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas.You don’t like to upset people，so you never express your real feelings.You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach，you are a rather secretive person.You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset.You’re very stubborn，but you aren’t very ambitious.You usually live for today not for tomorrow.This means that you enjoy having a good time.
If you sleep curled up(卷曲)，you are probably a very nervous person.You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive.You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people.You prefer to be on your own.You’re easily hurt.
If you sleep on your side，you have usually got a well-balanced personality.You know your strengths and weaknesses.You’re usually careful.You have a confident personality.You sometimes feel anxious，but you don’t often get depressed.You always say what you think even if it annoys people.
56．According to the writer，you naturally show your secret and real personality ________.
A．only in a normal night
B．only when you go to sleep
C．only when you refuse to show yourself to the world
D．only when you change sleeping position
57．Which is NOT mentioned in the second paragraph about a person’s personality?
A．He or she is always open with others.
B．He or she always likes new ideas earlier than others.
C．He or she is always easily upset.
D．He or she tends to believe in others.
58．Which of the following shows the personality of a person sleeping on his stomach?
A．He or she is careful not to offend others.
B．He or she doesn’t want to stick to his or her opinion.
C．He or she can’t be successful in any business.
D．He or she likes to bring others happiness.
59．It appears that the writer tends to think highly of the person who sleeps on one side because ________.

C．he or she has more strengths than weaknesses
D．he or she often considers annoying people
B
Are you nervous about climbing because you think it’s too dangerous？Do you feel you’re not fit enough to climb？Do you know how to start climbing?
Let’s consider the idea that climbing is dangerous.Being afraid is natural，but if you use suitable ropes and other climbing equipment you will feel completely safe.Climbers are usually very careful because they know what they are doing is dangerous.Accidents happen，but when they do，they tend to attract a lot of publicity.As a result，people think there are many more accidents than there are in reality.
You cannot expect to start climbing straight away.Climbing is a challenge and challenges take time.It is necessary first of all that you achieve a good level of fitness.Begin as soon as you become interested in climbing—go to the gym，go swimming，take up jogging and continue to do so throughout your training period.
Discover as much as you can about climbing.Visit the library and find books，especially for beginners or buy climbing magazines and look for articles which describe your situation.Look up information on the Internet.Find out about equipment，methods and places to go.
Next，take a course on a climbing wall.There are plenty of climbing walls all over the country which have trained and qualified people as instructors.Call your local leisure centre to find out if there is one in your area.These training sessions are a quick way to get experience and you are likely to meet other beginners.After this，you can do an outside course of joining a club where you can meet climbers of all abilities and eventually join in group-climbing events.
At first you may not understand the importance of a good training period，but after you have completed your first climb and you are standing safely at the top of a rock feeling thrilled，then you will know it was the right thing to do.
60．The text is probably written by a(n) ________.
A．doctor B．experienced climber
C．beginner D．fitness instructor
61．The writer thinks a new climber should ________.
A．begin by becoming fit
B．meet the challenges right away
C．be aware of the causes of the accidents
D．do enough sports to get interested in climbing
62．The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph probably means “________”．
A．the climb B．the training
C．the equipment D．the achievement
63．What is the best title for the text?
A．The Dangers of Climbing
B．The Importance of a Training Period
C．A Way of Becoming Fit
D．A Guide for Climbing Beginners
C
For me，my great moment came when I actually decided to accept an opportunity to teach English in Shanghai.There were times when I almost gave up because of fear.But in the end I came here.
Last summer，a Canadian-Chinese woman who teaches in Shanghai just happened to come to the place where I was working in the Seattle area.We talked and I said I had always wanted to teach abroad.She said，“Come to our school.”“Okay，” I replied，but I wasn’t sure if I meant it.
We met later for coffee.She answered all of my questions about the school，and gave me the website address and the email address of the person to contact.It took six months for me to finally decide on the job.
First of all，in Shanghai there are many western places to eat western food and lots of interesting things to do.Also，there is a great subway system with directions and stops posted in English.Finding your way around is a challenge in a new place.But that isn’t hard here.Taxis are very cheap；you can always jump in one and get home.There are also a lot of westerners in Shanghai，so it is fairly easy to ask for directions.Young Chinese people are much more likely to speak English and they are wonderfully helpful.
I earn almost $1,000 per month and live in a nice rent-free apartment.My biggest expense has been food as I am a vegetarian(素食者)and also on a diet.I still have not got used to the traditional Chinese food，but if you like it，you’ll be in heaven.
Here I have a good place to live in，new friends，a high salary，and a good job.In the US，getting a job at my age has been next to impossible for a woman.
64．We can infer that at first the writer ________.
A．wasn’t interested in teaching abroad at all
B．wasn’t sure whether to accept the job to teach in Shanghai
C．knew she would be popular as a teacher in China
D．thought the Canadian-Chinese woman was joking
65．According to the passage，it seems that ________.
A．there are no good restaurants for the writer in Shanghai
B．the writer sometimes feels lonely in Shanghai
C．the writer doesn’t like traveling in Shanghai
D．the writer likes her life in Shanghai
66．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．Living in a new place.
B．Dealing with a challenge.
C．Finding your way around.
D．Taking a taxi.
67．We can infer the writer most probably ________.
A．spends lots of money each month
B．lived alone when she was in the United States
C．had a very good job before she left her country
D．feels happy to have made the decision to teach in Shanghai
D
Most people would say that they want to lead a healthier life.In fact，to become healthier you have to be willing to make changes to your daily life，and stick with them.Even small changes in your diet and fitness plan will not only keep you healthy，but make you see a big difference in how you look and feel.
Diet alone is not enough for you to become healthier.Exercise is also a very important part.You need to have a regular exercise that will help you burn the calories.There are several choices of regular exercise.Joining a fitness club is a good way to ensure that you have a place to go，which will allow you to have good teachers to help you and exercise classes you can attend.Aerobics(有氧运动) is an excellent way to get a good workout.Aerobic classes offer a fun atmosphere of music and exercise.Walking daily is a good form of exercise but to benefit from it you need keep a steady pace and walk often.You can even exercise in the comfort of your own home.There are many great exercise videos that will give you a great workout and that will be great guides for you to find the right exercise for your body type.
Including your family in your decision to live a healthier life is a good idea.Since you will be changing your diet and adding a fitness plan，you will need their support.If you have support from others，especially your family，your plan will work wonders.When you adjust(调整) your diet，your families’ diet will probably be adjusted，too.You can create fun activities that will encourage your children to exercise，and also give them a chance to get fit，too.
68．According to the first paragraph，to have a healthy life ________.
A．you should try to look handsome
B．you’d better change your diet more or less
C．you’d better eat as little as possible
D．you should change yourself very much

70．The second paragraph mainly tells us that ________.
A．healthy diet can keep you healthy all the time
