4.It's an ordinary morning,like all the others.But instead of being woken up by the buzzing of an alarm clock,you'll be roused by the smell of freshly made coffee,light entering your room as the curtains open automatically,and a gentle back massage(按摩)provided by your high-tech bed.
This is what a typical(典型的) person's life will be like two decades from now,according to The Guardian.Want to know more?
After you get up,your apartment will be like an electronic orchestra with you as the conductor.With simple moves of your hand and spoken instructions,you'll be able to control your apartment's temperature,humidity,music and lighting.You'll be able to look through the day's news on translucent screens while your breakfast waits for you in the automatic oven.
As you move into your kitchen,you might accidentally hit your toe on a cupboard.If you do,you'll grab your cell phone and open the diagnostics(診斷) app.Inside your phone there will be a tiny microchip(芯片) that uses X-ray waves to scan your body.The scan will tell whether your toe is bruised or broken.
After breakfast,your driverless car will take you to work.While you"drive",your central computer system will suggest a list of chores(家務(wù)事) that your housekeeping robots can do that day and it will also remind you to buy a gift for your mother's upcoming birthday.
As you can see,with the help of advanced technology,our lives will be more efficient(有效率的).Technology will mitigate our forgetfulness and free us of many small burdens that distract us,such as buying a ticket.Our brain will therefore be able to focus on more important things like preparing for a presentation or doing"deep thinking".
However,the development of technology might have some disadvantages as well.By 2036,we'll be relying heavily on the virtual(虛擬的) world,which will mean that all of our data will be stored in the cloud,a remote digital storage system with near limitless capacity(容量).That will increase the possibility of someone else accessing,sharing or manipulating(操控) our personal information.

25.What might be the author's purpose in writing the text?D
A.To stress the importance of developing technology.
B.To remind people not to depend too much on computers.
C.To introduce one new invention that will benefit our future lives.
D.To describe how advanced technologies will affect our future lives.
26.According to the text,in two decades,C.
A.you'll be able to rely on an electronic orchestra to wake you up instead of an alarm clock
B.a(chǎn) tiny microchip in your phone will treat you when you are sick
C.you will be able to adjust the conditions of your apartment via oral instructions or simple hand gestures
D.technology will be smart enough to help us with important things like preparing for a presentation
27.What does the underlined word"mitigate"in Paragraph 6 mean?A
A.Make up for.B.Worsen.C.Cure.D.Take advantage of.

分析 本文通過(guò)暢想未來(lái)的一天起床后所發(fā)生的高科技場(chǎng)景,說(shuō)明了科技對(duì)我們?nèi)粘I畹挠绊懀?/p>

解答 25.D.主旨?xì)w納題.本文通過(guò)暢想未來(lái)的一天起床后所發(fā)生的高科技場(chǎng)景,說(shuō)明了先進(jìn)的科技對(duì)我們?nèi)粘I畹挠绊懀蔬xD.
26.C.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由第二段With simple moves of your hand and spoken instructions,you'll be able to control your apartment's temperature,humidity,music and lighting,可知簡(jiǎn)單移動(dòng)你的手和語(yǔ)音指令,你就可以控制你的公寓的溫度、濕度、音樂(lè)和燈光,故選C.
27.A.詞義推斷題.由后面and free us of many small burdens that distract us,such as buying a ticket,它可以把你從像買(mǎi)票這樣的事情中解放出來(lái),因此可推知是緩和、彌補(bǔ)了你的健忘,故選A.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本篇閱讀較為簡(jiǎn)單.文章內(nèi)容,所出題目以及選項(xiàng)也較短,因此考生只要閱讀詳略結(jié)合,細(xì)心理解,就能快速得出正確答案.

15.For many people,particularly immigrants,the American Dream is that talent and hard work can take youfrom log cabin to the White House.Tony Trivisonno did not rise as high as the White House,yet he managed tomake his own dream come true.
He came from a farm in Italy.One evening I found him standing behind my garage.
"I mow (割草) your lawn,"he said.It was hard to comprehend his broken English.
I asked him his name."Tony Trivisonno,"he replied."I mow your lawn."I told Tony that I couldn't afforda gardener.
"I mow your lawn,"he said again,then walked away.Yes,these Depression days were difficult,but how could I refuse a person who had come to me for help?
When I got home from work the next evening,the lawn had been mowed and the walks swept.I asked mywife what had happened.
"A man had worked on the yard,"she answered."I thought you had hired him."
I told her of my experience the night before.We thought it strange that Tony had not asked for pay.
The next Friday,I saw Tony again,behind the garage.I praised him for the work he had done.
"I mow your lawn,"he said.
I managed to give him some kind of small weekly pay,and each day Tony cleaned up the yard and took care of any little tasks.My wife said he was very helpful whenever there were anything heavy to lift or things to fix.
Summer passed into fall,and winds blew cold."Mr.Craw,snow pretty soon,"Tony told me one evening."When winter comes,you give me job clearing snow at the factory."
Well,how do you deal with such determination and hope?Of course,Tony got his job at the factory.
One day I found Tony at our meeting place behind the garage."I want to be apprentice (學(xué)徒)"he said.
We had a pretty good apprentice school that trained workers.But I doubted whether Tony were able to read blueprints or do precision work.Still,how could I turn him down?
Tony took a cut in pay to become an apprentice.Months later,I got a report that he had graduated as a skilled grinder (磨工).My wife and I were delighted with what Tony had achieved.
A year or two passed,and again I found Tony in his usual waiting place."Mr.Craw,"he said,"I like to buy a house."In the town,he had found a completely old house for sale.
I called on a banker friend."Do you ever loan money on character?"I asked."No,"he said.
"Now,wait a minute,"I replied."Here is a hard-working man,a man of character,I can promise you that.He's got a good job.And he will pay your interest."
   Unwillingly,the banker loaned Tony 2,000 and helped him buy the house.Tony was delighted.From the non,it was interesting to see that any abandoned odds and ends around our place were gathered and taken home by Tony.
   After about two years,I found Tony in our familiar meeting spot.He seemed to stand a little straighter and looked confident.
"Mr.Craw,I sell the house and buy a farm."
   We sat down and talked.He told me that he had persuaded his childhood friend to move to America.With asatisfied look in his eye,he told me that when they came to his little farm,his friend stood in amazement and said,"Tony,you are a millionaire!"
   Then,during the World WarⅡ,news came from my company that Tony had passed away.
   When my people came to visit his family,they found the farm green with vegetables,the little house comfortable and homey.The children were educated and working,and Tony didn't owe a cent.
   Tony,as well as all the greatest American businessmen,had reached their success in the same way and by the same values:vision,determination,optimism,self-respect and,above all,honesty.
   Tony Trivisonno came to America seeking the American Dream.But he didn't find it-he created it for himself.All he had were 24 precious hours a day,and he wasted none of them.
55.Why did Tony repeat"I mow your lawn"?A
A.He was determined to get a chance to work.
B.He asked for pay for his excellent garden work.
C.He thought he was good at garden work.
D.He was ready to help others out.

B.Tony persuaded his childhood friend to move to America.
C.Any abandoned odds and ends around our place were gathered and taken home by Tony.
D.The children were educated and working,and Tony didn't owe a cent.
57.What did the author mean by saying"Do you ever loan money on character"?B

B.He thought a determined and diligent man should get a loan despite poverty.
C.He was begging the banker to help Tony for the sake of their personal relation.

16.American real estate(房地產(chǎn))tycoon Donald Trump,whose election as US president surprised many around the world,has been unsurprisingly named Time magazine's"Peron of the Year"for 2016.
Trump said while responding to the news,"It means a lot,especially me growing up reading Time magazine.And it's a very important magazine,and I've been lucky enough to be on the cover many times this year-and last year.But I consider this a very,very great honor."
Trump has long been obsessed with having his face on the cover of magazines,something that happened more and more often as he won early polls,then Republican primaries,then the nomination(提名),then the presidency.Trump keeps piles of these magazines in his office and with this mindset,Time's"Person of the Year"became Trump's long-cherished wish.
Although the magazine featured Trump several times on its cover,it passed on naming him"Person of the Year"for 2015.Instead,it selected German Chancellor Angela Merkel,whom the magazine credited with opening her nation's border to hundreds of thousands of refugees(難民)and managing Europe's debt crisis.Trump did not take that news well."I told you@TIME Magazine would never pick me as‘Person of the Year'in spite of being the big favorite.They picked the person who is ruining Germany,"he said on Twitter soon after the news was announced.
Time managing editor Nancy Gibbs said that the decision in 2016 was easy.This title goes to a newsmaker who has influenced events for better or for worse."When have we ever seen a single individual who has so defied(違背)expectations…beaten not one but two political parties on the way to winning an election…I don't think that we have ever seen one person,operating in such an unconventional way,have an impact on the events of the year quite like this,"Gibbs said.

24.What do Trump's words suggest in Paragraph?C
A.Luck is on his side.
B.He deserves the award.
C.He feels proud of the award
D.Time has a good effect on him.
25.Which is truth according to the article?D
A.Trump is afraid to be famous.
B.Trump is angry about Time magazine.
C.Trump is addicted to having his face on the cover of magazines.
D.Trump is addicted to having his face on the cover of magazines.
26.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?B
A.Merkel ruined Germany.
B.Merkel was"Person of the Year"for 2015.
C.Trump thought well of Merkel.
D.Trump won"Person of the Year"twice.
27.Why was Trump elected as Time's"Person of the Year"for 2016?D
A.He's been on its cover many times.
B.He is the newly elected president.
C.He is the favorite of the magazine.
D.He was highly influential in the year.

15.How Kids Express Gratitude
Taking time as a family to practice gratitude doesn't have to be difficult or time-consuming and the benefits your children will get are profound(意義深遠(yuǎn)的).Today we'll be discussing ideas to help your children express their gratitude.
Make a gratitude tree.
Start with a large piece of craft paper and draw a tree trunk.(36)A.Each day ask your kids to think of something they're thankful for,write it on a leaf and tape it to the tree trunk.
Go grocery shopping for a family in need.
Many stores now offer premade bags to donate right at the checkout line.While this is convenient,the 
larger the role they play in the act of giving,the bigger the effect it will have on your kids.(37)G.
Express your thankfulness for the ones you love.
(38)C.Print the photos in a 5'×7'size and ask the kids to write a short note on the back explaining why they're grateful to that person.Family members,especially those who don't live nearby,will cherish the present.
Volunteer together.
Pick a regular time,maybe one Saturday a month,and volunteer together as a family.(39)D.One child may want to spend a day helping to clean up their favorite park while another might want to read books to nursing home residents.(40)F.
A regular gratitude practice is a wonderful habit to instill(逐漸灌輸)into your children.In fact,studies have shown that people who feel gratitude on a daily basis are happier in general.

A.Then ask the kids to paint or color it in brown.
B.It will make the experience much more powerful.
C.Let kids take pictures of themselves with their loved ones.
D.Let each family member take turns to pick an activity that means something to them.
E.Keep gratitude journals.
F.Start a gratitude practice.
G.If you can find a charity where you deliver the groceries yourself,that's even better.
