7．We don't know how different our future will be in the future．We can only try to imagine it．
At first we think about human relationship．In the year 2050，we will use computers almost every day．We will be making new friends through the Internet---even our husbands or wives will be met in this way．It will be much faster and easier for us．On the other hand，our relationships with people won't be as important as they are today---we will feel a little lonely．
    Computer will also help us in many other activities in 2050．For example，they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier．In addition，there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers，like robots which will do the housework for us．
    Spending holidays will also be completely different．Traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone．Means of transport will，of course，change，too．We will be using solar-powered cars，which will cause less pollution．
    We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to more attention to protecting the environment．And，scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases，like cancer or AIDS．Therefore，our surroundings as well as health will be in a better condition．
    Although we can't predict the exact changes which will be made in the world，we often think about them．We worry about our and our children's future； we have expectations，hopes as well as fears．But I think we should be rather sanguine about our future．We should be happy and believe good things will happen．
66．Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050？B
A．Because the number of people will become much smaller．
B．Because there will be less face-to-face communication．
C．Because people won't communicate with each other much often．
D．Because people won't like making friends with each other．
67．The second paragraph mainly tells usC．
A．that computers will do all the things for human beings．
B．how people will use computers to communicate with each other
C．that machines like computers and robots will help people a lot．
D．how people will use robots to do the housework．
68．According to the passage，which of the following will happen in 2050？C
A．The relationship between people will be more important than today．
B．The way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today．
C．It won't be difficult for people to travel to other planets．
D．Our environment will be much more polluted with a growing number of cars．
69．The underlined word"sanguine"in the last paragraph most probably means"D"．
A．disappointed   B．surprised   C．curious   D．optimistic
70．What does the passage mainly talk about？B
A．How people will communicate in the year 2050．
B．What our life will be like in the year 2050．
C．How people will travel and spend their holiday in the year 2050．
D．What high technology will appear in the year 2050．

17．This Mother's Day will be the 8th year I have spent without my own mother．She passed away less than a month before Mother's Day in the year 2000．She had been ill for almost two years，and I didn't cry when she died，or at her funeral，but on that first Mother's Day without her．On that day，I realized that this person I loved and depended on was gone forever．
She still lives in family memories，in the thoughts of her friends and co-workers，in the values she had instilled（灌輸） in her children，and in the lovely flower gardens that she had so carefully tended．
She loved her gladioli and irises．Each fall she would dig the bulbs out of the soil and carefully wrap them in paper．The bulbs would be stored until the following spring when they would be replanted．It seemed like a lot of effort to me，but each year her flower garden was more glorious than the year before．She put the same hard work into caring for her family，instilling in her children a sense of justice and fair play，compassion，and strong moral values so that we blossomed．
Share anecdotes about your mother's life at your Mother's Day party．Too often，we avoid speaking of those loved ones who have passed away，fearful that we will unearth sad feelings．It doesn't have to be that way．Sharing fond memories and stories of the life we shared with her can be a healing process that binds（捆綁）the family together．
My mother passed away when her oldest grandchild was only eight years old．Children will enjoy sharing pictures and stories of the grandmother they may have never known or have little memory of．Sharing anecdotes to pass on to the next generation will give children a feeling of family history and continuity，and may be one of the best ways to honor our mothers and grandmothers who have gone before us．

66．What does the underlined words"passed away"（ in Paragraph 1）mean？A
A．died        B．continued       C．started       D．lasted
67．On the first Mother's Day after mum died the author realizedC．
A．mum had been dead for a long time    B．mum had suffered a lot from the illness
C．it was true that mum had been dead   D．it was impossible to depend on mum
68．From the third paragraph we can infer that mumD．
A．loved her gladioli and irises            B．showed kindness to all her children
C．taught the children to plant patiently   D．had a good influence on the author
69．At the Mother's Day party people don't mention their lost mums only becauseA．
A．they are simply afraid of causing sad feelings
B．they have forgotten their mums completely
C．they don't love their mums any longer
D．they think their mums have passed away
70．In order to show honor to our mothers and grandmothers we canB．
A．spend the Mother's Day with our children
B．share the stories of them with the children
C．hold the Mother's Day party every year
D．plant beautiful flowers in the family garden．

18．You don't exactly have to jump on the next plane in order to see Venice while it's stillaround，but scientists are warning that only a miracle--or more advanced engineering than exists today--can save one of the world's most fabled （神話般的） cities of art and architecture，especially in view of global warming and the possibilities of ocean levels rising 6meters．The most recent reports indicate that Venice is sinking faster than had been predicted．The gloomiest forecast is that the waters of the Adriatic Sea could destroy Venice within this century，especially if global warming causes waters to rise even faster．What a catastrophe that would be．Surely there is no more absurd monument to the foolishness of mankind than Venice，a fantasy city on the sea．
Once you arrive and are amazed by all the architectural wonders and riches of Venice，its
vivid colors of sienna，Roman old，and ruby peach，you may think that reports of tide damage are overblown．But once you experience your first flood and see for yourself how close the sea is to sweeping over Venice，you'll most likely change your mind．
Pollution，uncontrolled tides （潮水），and just plain old age are eating away daily the
treasures of this cherished city of art．As the debate rages about how to save Venice，with no real solution in sight，the waters just keep rising．
Why did those"insane （神志不　清的）"Venetians build on such swampy islands and not on
dry land，of which there was plenty centuries ago？
In an effort to flee the barbarians．（野蠻人），Venetians left dry dock and drifted out to a group of low islands in the lagoon （瀉湖）．For a long time，Venice did avoid foreign armies'intent on invading，burning，and plundering．Eventually，Napoleon and his forces arrived；however，they were never to destroy Venice．
Foreign visitors have conquered Venire in ways most invading armies did not．Some 10million people visit Venire every year--and that's only counting the visitors who actually spend the night．Since Venice is known as an expensive city and has only a limited number of accommodations，there are countless day-trippers rushing in every day，all summer long．

54．The passage covers the following aspects about．Venire EXCEPTC
A．geography        B．history         C．traffic             D．culture
55．Which of the following can be the greatest threat to Venice？A
A．Constant global warming．
B．Unbelievable crowds of visitors．
C．Unbearable accommodation prices．
D．Foreign countries'powerful invasion．
56．What can we infer about Venice from this passage？B
A．It will eventually be destroyed by waters of the Adriatic sea．
B．It has been a wealthy andartistic city throughout the history．
C．Foreign visitors have broughtmore damage to it than foreign armies have．
D．The ancient Venetians were foolish enough to build it in such a place．
57．By writing this passage，the author actually means toB
A．a(chǎn)dvise tourists to remove Venice from their tour lists
B．introduce to tourists some unique informs，tion about Venice
C．warn tourists oftbe possible dangers wben visiting venice
D．a(chǎn)ppeal to tourists to protect Venice by reducing their visits．

12．Many people think that listening is a passive business．It is just the opposite．Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work．It is because they do not realize this，or because they are not willing to do the work，that most people do not listen well．
    Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else．An essential part of listening well is the rule known as‘bracketing'．Bracketing（歸入同一類） includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices（偏見(jiàn)） and desires，to experience as far as possible someone else's world from the inside，stepping into his or her shoes．Moreover，since listening well involves bracketing，it also involves（包括）a temporary acceptance of the other person．Sensing this acceptance，the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener．True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished（完成）only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth．
    Most of the time we lack this energy．Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well，what we are usually doing is listening selectively．Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder，as we listen，how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us．Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening，or we simply refuse to listen to what we don't want to hear．
    It wasn't until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic（有療效的） In about a quarter of the patients I saw，surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy（心理療法），before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained．There are several reasons for this phenomenon，but chief among them，I believe，was the patient's sense that he or she was being truly listened to，often for the first time in years，and for some，perhaps for the first time ever．
66．The phrase"stepping into his or her shoes"in paragraph 2 probably meansB．
A．preparing a topic list first                
B．experiencing the speaker's inside world
C．directing the talk to the desired results       
D．focusing on one's own mind
67．What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2？C
A．Benefits of listening．
B．What to listen to．
C．How to listen well．
D．Problems in listening
68．According to the author，in communication people tend toA．
A．listen purposefully             
B．listen actively     
C．set aside their prejudices          
D．open up their inner mind
69．According to the author，the patients improved mainly becauseD．
A．they were taken good care of．B．they knew the roots of problems．
C．they had partners to talk to．D．they knew they were truly listened to．
70．What type of writing the article likely to be？A
A．Popular science                  
B．A news report．
C．A medical report．
D．Science fiction．
