B
(2012·江门高一检测)Happiness is for everyone.You don't need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on.Why？Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
In fact，happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it.When you are in trouble at school，your friends will help you；when you study hard at your lessons，your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health；when you get success，your friends will say congratulations to you；when you do something wrong，people around you will help you to correct it.And when you do something good to others，you will feel happy，too.All these are your happiness.If you notice a bit of them，you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money.It is a feeling of your heart.When you are poor，you can also say you are very happy，because you have something else that can't be bought with money.When you meet with difficulties，you can say loudly you are very happy，because you have more chances to challenge yourself.So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck.As the saying goes，life is like a revolving(旋转的)door.When it closes，it also opens.If you take every chance you get，you can be a happy and lucky person.
39．Those who have big houses may often feel________.
A．happy B．lonely
C．free D．excited

C．Happiness. D．Life.

How I Turned to Be Optimistic
I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house，and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America.We were on the bus then.I was crying，and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me.I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again.In fact，I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives.When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures.The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism，but the idea did not come to me at once.For the first two years in New York I was really lost having to study in three schools as a result of family moves.I did not quite know what I was or what I should be.Mother remarried，and things became even more complex for me.Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other.I was often sad，and saw no end to“the hard times”．
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home.I wrote letters，filled out forms，translated at interviews with Immigration officers，took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there，and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule：almost all common troubles eventually go away！Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up，and just wait a little！I believe that my life will turn out all right，even though it will not be that easy.
43．How did the author get to know America?
A．From her relatives.
B．From her mother.
C．From books and pictures.
D．From radio programs.
44．Upon leaving for America the author felt________.
A．confused B．excited
C．worried D．amazed
45．For the first two years in New York，the author______.
A．often lost her way
B．did not think about her future
C．studied in three different schools
D．got on well with her stepfather
46．What can we learn about the author from paragraph 4?
A．She worked as a translator.
B．She attended a lot of job interviews.
C．She paid telephone bills for her family.
D．She helped her family with her English.

You get up in the morning and look into the mirror.Your face is firm and young-looking.In 2035，medical technology is better than ever.Many people your age could live to be 150，so at 40，you're not old at all.And your parents just had an antiaging(抗衰老的)treatment.Now，all three of you look the same age!

It's time to go to work.In 2035，cars drive themselves.Just tell your“smart car”where to go.On the way，you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve.Such“smart technology”is all around you.

51．________.So when you want to do business in France，you have to get to know French culture，to make marketing plans，and to run your business by local laws.

The first thing that you should do when meeting someone new is to shake his hand firmly and always look the person in the eye，In social meetings with friends，kissing is common.

What will the future be like?
Recently our class has held a discussion on“What will the future be like？”Some students think that in the future science will be more advanced，and transportation will be more convenient and what's more，people will live much longer and the level of their living conditions will be higher.
However，some students think that in the future natural resources will further decrease and farmland will become lost(will decline sharply)，and there will be more traffic accidents.
In my opinion，we should try to protect natural resources and decrease environment pollution.I hope everyone can be aware of the importance of environment and make his efforts for the better world in the future.

Ⅳ.阅读理解
What will man be like in the future—in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now？We can only make guesses，of course，but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today，for man is slowly changing all the time.
Let us take an obvious example.Man，even five hundred years ago，was shorter than he is today.Now，on average，men are about three inches taller.Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time，so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller.Again，in the modern world we use our brains a great deal.Even so，we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity.As time goes on，however，we shall have to use our brains more and more，and eventually we shall need larger ones！This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head，in particular the forehead，will grow larger.
Nowadays our eyes are in constant use.In fact，we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses.But over a very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.
On the other hand，we tend to make less use of our arms and legs.These，as a result，are likely to grow weaker.At the same time，however，our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.
But what about hair？This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer.In the future，then，both sexes are likely to be bald.
Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at！This may well be true.All the same，in spite of all these changes，future man will still have a lot in common with us.He will still be a human being，with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.
1．The passage mainly tells us that ________.
A．man's life will be different in the future
B．future man will look quite different from us
C．man is growing taller and uglier as time passes
D．man's organs' functions will be on the wane
2．What serves as the evidence that man is changing?
A．Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.
B．Man's hair is getting thinner and thinner.
C．Man's arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.
D．Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.
3．The change in man's size of forehead is probably because________.
A．he makes use only 20% of the brain's capacity
B．his brain has grown larger over the past centuries
C．the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time
D．he will use his brain more and more as time goes on
4．Which of the following is TRUE about a human being in the future?
A．He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.
B．He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.
C．His fingers grow weaker because he doesn't have to make use of them.
D．He thinks and feels in different ways.

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
My house is made out of wood，glass and stone.It is also made out of software.
If you come to visit，you'll probably be surprised when you come in.Someone will give you an electronic PIN(个人身份号码)to wear.This PIN tells the house who and where you are.The house uses this information to give you what you need.When it's dark outside，the PIN turns on the lights nearest you，and then turns them off as you walk away from them.Music moves with you too.If the house knows your favorite music，it plays it.The music seems to be everywhere，but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music.If you get a telephone call，only the nearest telephone rings.
Of course，you are also able to tell the house if you want something.There is a home control console(控制台)，a small machine that turns things on and off around you.
The PIN and the console are new ideas，but they are in fact like many things we have today.If you want to go to a movie，you need a ticket.If I give you my car keys，you can use my car.The car works for you because you have the keys.My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.
I believe that ten years from now，most new homes will have the systems that I've put in my house.The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I've put in today.
I like to try new ideas.I know that some of my ideas will work better than others.But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new，and ask myself instead，“How will I live without them？”

B．To let readers know how special his house is.
C．To explain the importance of the PIN and the console.
D．To explain more easily what the functions of the PIN and the console are.
4．The writer's new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because________.
A．it has been controlled by computers
B．you can make a telephone call anywhere

D．the writer is able to change his new idea into practice
B
Are you ready to experience life as it may be in the future？Here are some interesting points to learn about the future.
Artificial intelligence：Many years down the road，humans might not even be recognizable because artificial intelligence(also known as AI)will have combined with our natural states.Scientists are learning more about the human brain every day，and they are working toward making smart robots we can use to help us.Some people say that nano-bots—super-tiny robots—may help us in invisible(看不见的)ways in the future.They say they will be everywhere，outnumbering humans many times over!
Nano-technology：This is the ability to make tools and helpful robots that are a billion times smaller than we can see.Scientists have already made many nano-sized tools that they can use.When this science is improved and becomes more common and affordable，it will change everything.
Brain-to-computer communication：Nano-computers will probably be linked to your thoughts，voice and emotions，and be able to react to your needs.In the future.people will rely on wireless technology and everyone and everything will be linked(连接)．Your brain will be able to receive information from computers to fill your head with knowledge or teach you new things.When you want to learn a new skateboarding trick or dance move，nano-computers will send the information to your brain and allow your body to use the tips and apply them—no studying involved!
Virtual(虚拟的) reality：You already love virtual-reality games—they make imaginary(想象的) worlds in which you can play.But what if it allows you to have a cool new school？Virtual worlds are being created so computer-generated environments will allow you to learn school lessons with your teacher and your friends seemingly present without actually being there.Technology will give you a 3D image and link it to your brain in a way that makes you actually feel as if you were there.
5．The passage mainly introduces________.
A．the use of robots in the future
B．the importance of science and technology
C．some technology in the future
D．some ways to improve communication
6．What can we conclude from the second paragraph?
A．The number of robots is greater than the number of humans.
B．AI will bring about great changes to people's lives.
C．Nano-bots will take the place of humans in some years.
D．Scientists won't stop learning about the human brain until AI is widely used.
7．Which of the following statements about nano-technology is TRUE?
A．It makes robots work longer.
B．It has been common for centuries.
C．It costs a lot of money.
D．It helps make virtual worlds as real as possible.
8．We can most probably read this passage in________.
A．a government report
B．a scientific magazine
C．a news report
D．a research paper
