1.D 計算題。根據(jù)第一段Once a group of 17-year-old schoolboys decided to break the world basketball marathon record(馬拉松記錄). They wanted to play for ninety hours and that is to add six hours to the record. Each team had nine players, with five at a time. The boys decided each person would play 21. 5 hours and then rest for 2 hours.可知90個小時由兩支隊伍輪流進行,一支隊伍9人,那么一共18人,故D正確。
2.A 計算題。根據(jù)第一段第2行They wanted to play for ninety hours and that is to add six hours to the record.說明現(xiàn)在的記錄是90小時,比原來多了6小時,那么原來是84小時。故A正確。
3.A 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段The first night was very hard for the players. When it was their turn to rest, they were too excited(興奮的) to fall asleep at once. 說明他們很興奮,難以入睡。故A正確。
4.C 推理題。根據(jù)文章最后3行But in the final hours, the players got better. For the last few minutes, the players looked as fresh as when they started. How happy everyone was!
可知在最后幾個小時里,他們感覺到即將成功了,所以非常興奮和剛剛開始一樣了。故C項正確。
5.B 細節(jié)題。在這四天里,只有第一天他們很興奮,難以入睡;其余幾天都非常累,所以很快就睡著了。故B正確。

Michael, a typical (典型的) American, stays home on workdays. He plugs into his personal computer terminal (接線端) in order to connect with the office. After work, he puts on his headphones, watches a movie on his home video recorder, or plays baseball on the computer. On many days, Michael doesn’t talk to any other human beings, and he doesn’t see any people except the ones on television. Michael is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very possible. The inventions of modern technology seem to be cutting us off from contact with our fellow human beings.

  The world of business is one area in which technology is isolating (使隔離) us. Experts say, for example, that many people will soon be able to work at home. With access to a large central computer, employees such as office clerks, insurance agents, and accountants could do their jobs at display terminals in their own homes. They would never have to actually see the people they’re dealing with. In addition, the way employees are paid will change. Workers’ salaries will be automatically paid into their bank accounts(賬戶), making paper checks(支票)unnecessary. No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their checks. Personal banking will change, too. Customers will deal with machines to put in or take out money from their accounts.

  Another area that technology is changing is entertainment. Music, for instance, was once a group experience. People listened to music at concert halls or in small social gatherings. For many people now, however, music is an individual experience. Walking along the street or sitting in their living rooms, they wear headphones to build a wall of music around them. Movie entertainment is changing, too. Movies used to be social events. Now, fewer people are going out to see a movie. Many more are choosing to wait for a film to appear on television or are borrowing videotapes to watch at home. Instead of laughing with others, viewers watch movies in their own living rooms.

13. The sentence “Michael is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very possible” means ____ .

  A .Michael is a person full of imagination and he can make his dreams come true

  B. Michael is not a real person but probably the lifestyle does exist

  C. Michael has ambitions but he can?t make his dreams come true

  D. Michael is a person full of imagination and his lifestyle is common nowadays

14. What will the author most probably discuss after the last paragraph?

  A. Games and sports.

  B. Personal banking.

  C. Music and films.

  D. International business.

15. What is the main idea of the passage?

  A. We may no longer need to communicate with other human beings.

  B. Modern technology seems to be separating human beings.

  C. We may no longer need to work in the office.

  D. Modern technology makes it possible for us to work and entertain ourselves at home.

Daniel stays home on workdays. He starts his personal computer in order to connect with the office which is about three hundred miles away in another city. After work, he puts on his headphones, watches a movie on his home video recorder, or plays baseball on the computer. On many days, Daniel doesn’t talk to any other human beings, and he doesn’t see any people except the ones on television. Daniel is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very possible. The inventions of modern technology seem to be cutting us off from contact with our fellow human beings.

The world of business is one area in which technology is separating us. Experts say, for example, that many people will soon be able to work at home. With access to a large central computer, employees such as office clerks, insurance agents, and accountants could do their jobs at display terminals (終端) in their own homes. They would never have to actually see the people they’re dealing with. In addition, the way employees are paid will change. Workers’ salaries will be automatically paid into their bank accounts, making paper checks unnecessary. No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their checks. Personal banking will change, too. Customers will deal with machines to put in or take out money from their accounts. Many companies and consumers have already changed the way they sell or buy products. E-commerce, or business done on the Internet, is becoming more and more popular. This, therefore, makes it possible for people to do shopping without going out of their homes.
