“Is John coming by train?” “He should, but he _________ not. He likes driving his car.”

A. must   B. can     C. need   D. may

D


解析:

D。may 表推测,may not 意为“可能不(会坐火车来)”。句中的 He should 为 He should come by train 之省略,由于其后出现转折连词 but,说明语意有变化,再结合下文的 He likes driving his car,便可决定此题选D。注意,不能选B,因为can表示推测时通常不用肯定陈述句。

Close your eyes and imagine you are living in the next two centuries or more. You’ll be living in a world filled with smart robots, which will be helping you to take care of your children, or your elderly parents in your home. You’ll live much longer thanks to the medicine made by genetic (基因的) science. And mankind may be going farther in space than ever before ––you will be living on the moon or Mars.
How should we view the changes that wait for us in the future? Should we be optimistic about the years ahead, or worried about what the future holds? Some scientists and experts are having a discussion about how technology, science and society will develop in the future.
“I’m looking forward to the day when more technology will come to my life,” says John Searle, a professor at the University of California Berkeley Philosophy, “because I think further research in such areas as genetics, physics, chemistry and medicine will help us to overcome poverty, improve health, and make life longer.”
Hugh Herr, at MIT’s Biomechatronics Group, considers very powerful weapons as concern over the future. Another is the growing role of technology in our lives.“Machines taking over what humans do is not a good thing,” Herr says.
That is a similar concern shared by Daniela Cerqui, a social and cultural scientist. “I am afraid that the long-term future we are building will have no space left for human beings,” says Cerqui. “The main values of our society are related to information that must progress as quickly as possible, and computers are much better than humans in these tasks .”
【小题1】The first paragraph mainly tells us ________.

A.how science will develop in the next two centuries
B.how people will live in a modern society
C.what life would be like in the future
D.what computers will bring to our society
【小题2】What is John Searle’s attitude towards the future of technology?
A.Worried.B.Optimistic.C.Uncertain.D.Disappointed.
【小题3】The underlined word “That” in the last paragraph refers to______.
A.the poverty problem in the future
B.machines taking over what humans do
C.the technology of weapons
D.the health problem of humans
【小题4】What would be the best title for the passage?
A.The future––full of hope or concern?
B.Great changes will take place in the future
C.The relationship between technology and humans
D.The role of robots and computers in the future

What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-cream taster? Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice-cream. Just ask John Harrison, an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream — as well as for developing over 75 flavors (味道).

Some people think that it would be easy to do this job, after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No — there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.

In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice-cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12℉. Harrison explains, “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream soup .”While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,” he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Does the product have the color expected from that flavor?” Next it’s time to taste!

Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy — working at one cool job.

1. What is John Harrison’s job?

  A. An official.     B. An ice-cream taster.

  C. A chemist.   D. An ice-cream manufacturer.

2. According to John Harrison, to be qualified in the “cool field”, it is helpful to ______.  A. keep a diary of work   B. have a degree in related subjects

  C. have new ideas every day   D. find out new flavors each day

3. What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?

  A. He stirs the ice cream.         B. He examines the color of the ice cream.

  C. He tastes the flavor of the ice cream. D. He lets the ice cream warm up.

4.Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?

  A. Tasting with Eyes      B. Flavors of Ice Cream

  C. John Harrison’s Life   D. One Cool Job
