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 (個人身份號碼) 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 to 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(控制臺), 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?"

1. What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. How to develop a new system.

B. The function of the PIN.

C. A home for the future.

D. Easy life in the future.

2.What can’t be done in the writer’s new house according to the passage?

A. Turning on the lights. B. Going swimming.

C. Getting a telephone call. D. Playing music.

3. The writer's new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because _______.

A. it has your favorite music following you

B. you can make a telephone call anywhere

C. the writer is able to change his new idea into practice

D. it has been controlled by computers

4.What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage?

A. An IT expert B. A famous doctor

C. An idealist D. An experienced teacher

Here is some information from a tourist guide to Patapsco Valley state Park Maryland, USA.

Wildlife and Nature Appreciation

While visiting Patapsco Valley State Park, you will see a variety of natural habitats. Throughout spring and fall, dogwoods, maples, redbuds, and many varieties of wildflowers color the forest. This park is also home to many small mammals and birds. If you pause during your journey through tile forest, you are likely to see rabbits, grey squirrels, and red foxes. Along the banks of tile river, birdwatchers will spot Canada geese and wood ducks all year round

Fishing

The Patapsco River meanders through the park and is a popular attraction for anglers (釣魚者). The Department of Natural Resources' Fisheries Service assigns the river as a put-and-take fishery(漁場) with adult rainbow and brown trout in spring and fall. Anglers also enjoy catching naturally reproducing smallmouth and largemouth bass, bluegill, redbreast sunfish and yellow perch.

Fishing opportunities have been specially set aside at Lost Lake for youth under 16 and seniors 62 years of age and older. This area is also designed for anglers with disabilities.

Trails

Adventure seekers will enjoy hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding on the park's popular trail system. More than 17 miles of challenging and rough single track trails follow the ridges, steep hillsides and stream valleys in the park. These trails are also excellent gateways for wildlife viewing, bird watching and general nature appreciation. Please respect the rights of nearby private property owners by using only blazed (有路標的) trails. Remember that the park is a natural area with certain dangers, such as poison ivy, slippery trail surfaces, insects, etc. You are responsible for having the necessary skills, knowledge and equipment for a safe visit.

In the 1700s, the valley became one of the earliest sites for America’s Industrial Revolution. Early settlers cut down trees for charcoal used to fire iron furnaces(熔爐).

D Throughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists．No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change---to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before．

Landscape (風景) is another unchanging element of art．It can be found from ancient times through the17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists．In the 1970s Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists, continued this practice．Leslie sought out the same place where ThomasCole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before．Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually sees．In his paintings, there is no particular change in emotion, and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background．He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom．

Besides, all art begs the age-old question: What is real? Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another．The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests．To sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods．

Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant．Past or present, Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience．Many and different are the faces ofart, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings．

1.The underlined word “poetry” most probably means ________ ．

A．a(chǎn)n object for artistic creation

B．a(chǎn)n unusual quality

C．a(chǎn) collection of poems

D．a(chǎn) natural scene

2.Leslie’s paintings are extraordinary because ___________．

A．they draw attention to common things in life

B．they look like works by 19th-century painters

C．they are close in style to works in ancient times

D．they depend heavily on color photography

3.What is the author’s opinion of artistic reality?

A．It does not have a long-lasting standard

B．It will not be found in future works of art．

C．It is expressed in a fixed artistic form．

D．It is lacking in modern works of art．

4.Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?

A．History of the arts．

B．Use of modern technology in the arts．

C．Basic questions of the arts．

D．New developments in the arts．
