The technology is great. Without it we wouldn’t have been able to put a man on the moon, explore
the ocean’s depths or eat microwave puters have revolutionized our lives and they have the
power to educate and pass on knowledge. But sometimes this power can create more problems than it
solves. （According to this paragraph， what will this passage talk about ？）
Every doctor has had to try their best to calm down patients who’ve come into their surgery waving
an Internet print-out, convinced that they have some rare incurable disease, say, throat cancer. The
truth is usually far more ordinary, though: they don’t have throat cancer, and it’s just that their throats
are swollen. Being a graduate of the Internet “school” of medicine does not guarantee accurate self-
health-checks.（What does the underlined sentence mean ？）

One day Mrs. Almond came to my hospital after feeling faint at work. While I took her blood
sample and tried to find out what was wrong, she said calmly, “I know what’s wrong； I’ve got throat
cancer. I know there’s nothing you doctors can do about it and I’ve just got to wait until the day comes.”
As a matter of routine I ordered a chest X-ray. I looked at it and the blood results an hour later.
Something wasn’t right. “Did your local doctor do an X-ray？” I asked. “Oh, I haven’t been to the
doctor for years,” she replied. “I read about it on a website and the symptoms fitted, so I knew that’s
what I had.”
However, some of her symptoms, like the severe cough and weight loss, didn’t fit with it — but
she’d just ignored this.
I looked at the X-ray again, and more tests confirmed it wasn’t the cancer but tuberculosis （肺结
核）—— something that most certainly did need treating, and could be deadly. She was lucky we caught
it when we did.（Why does the writer tell the story of Mrs. Almond ？）
1. Mrs. Almond talked about her illness calmly because _________.
A. she thought she knew it well. B. she had purchased medicine online.
C. she graduated from a medical school. D. she had been treated by local doctors.
2. It was lucky for Mrs. Almond _________.
A. to have contacted many friends B. to have recovered in a short time
C. to have her assumption confirmed D. to have her disease identified in time

I love my Blackberry —— it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with
me.I also love my laptop computer, as it holds all of my writing and thought. Despite this love of
technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices and truly
communicate with others.（What does the writer think of the devices with high technology？）

A
On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My
goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to
thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule —
— no laptop, iPads, iPhones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of
them were not happy.
1. Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with _________ .
A. the course material B. others’ misuse of technology
C. discussion topics D. the author’s class regulations
B
Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with
students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-
technology. There’s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate
to my students.
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few
places in which we can have deep conversations and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by
technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas.
I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other
to think differently and make connections between the course material and the class discussion.
1. According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may _________ .
A. keep students from doing independent thinking
B. encourage students to have in-depth conversations
C. help students to better understand complex themes

D. affect students’ concentration on course evaluation
阅读材料
I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student
satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge,
they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.
I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but
until I hear a really good reason for the change, I’m sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-
free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.（Will the writer change his teaching plan？）

Fashion always keeps at least one eye on the future. Now scientists are lending a hand, developing
tomorrow’s super-powered （超能） clothing such as coats that can recharge your MP3 player and
make you stronger.
For example, electronics could get recharged in the future simply by plugging （插上插座） them
into your outer wear, because Australian researchers are designing clothing that can collect energy from a
person. The coats would include small things that change vibration energy （动能） from a person’s
movements into electricity. High-tech fabrics （纤维品） would carry this energy to batteries （电池）.
“ It will look like an ordinary （ common） coat but have super energy,” said Adam Best, an
Australian head research scientist. “This kind of technology has important uses for soldiers in the field
and could mean they no longer need to carry heavy batteries.” Best added, “Above all, they’d be wearing
the battery, not carrying it.” Besides helping soldiers, these coats could also have common uses for
common people, such as powering radios, mobile phones, MP3 players or medical things. Solar-powered
handbags could do the same thing.（What is special about the coat？）
Thanks to self-cleaning fabrics developed by scientists working for the U.S. Air Force, underwear
and sports clothing could go weeks without washing. The gene[ral idea of clothes that never get dirty can

be found in the 1951 film The Man in the While Suit. The new technology helps keep off water, oil
and bacteria （细菌）.
High-tech fabrics could also help serve as protection. For example, future fabrics could lead to soft
helmets （头盔） that turn hard in an accident.
Not all the possible fabrics of tomorrow are necessarily high-tech. For example, chicken feathers
（羽毛） and other things of the farming industry could get changed into wool-like fabrics or cotton-like
ones, helping use fewer fabrics made from oil.
1. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article？
A. You can get electronic energy from your clothes in the future.
B. Self-cleaning coats are developed for American scientists.
C. We will no longer use fabrics made from oil in the future.
D. The future high-tech clothing will be used only for soldiers.
