    【文章大意】本文是一篇科幻短篇小说。James今天没作业，他想邀请同学到家里玩，去征求母亲的同意。母亲拒绝，因为母亲的头痛以及父亲的残疾，令母亲觉得James的同学会认为家里挺怪异的，由此James会遭受嘲笑。但聪明的James灵活运用了课堂上学到的机器人科学知识，使父母亲两人都改变了不舒服的境况。因此获得了邀请同学到家玩的许可。
    小题1:C 考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。星期五，没作业，因此邀请同学到家玩。 chance 机会；message 信息 ；homework 作业；difficulty 困难。
    小题2: A. 考查形容词，动词词义辨析及语境理解。下文说父亲残疾，需要休息；而在这段描绘了父亲头伏在胳膊上（resting his head on his arms），可以想象出父亲感觉不舒服，正在睡（下文说接通电源后父亲就张开了眼睛）。asleep 熟睡； reading 阅读；alone 孤身一人；standing 站立。B，D选项不符合上下文语境；父亲明显在母亲身边，并不是一个人，所以C选项错误。
    小题3:B 考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。从James的请求及其语气，母亲显然看出他急切想让同学到家玩。see 看出，明白；explain 解释；agree 同意；doubt 怀疑。
    小题4: B考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。 当遭到母亲的不允许后，他伤心地问（James asked sadly）为什么，很可能几乎含着眼泪。 terror 恐惧；  tears 眼泪； surprise 惊奇； silence 沉默。
    小题5:D 考查形容词词义辨析及语境理解。fair 公平；easy 容易； good 良好； hard 艰难。James从来没邀请过同学来家玩。而现在遭到母亲的不许可，对于他来说，星期五没有同学来是很伤心，很难熬的一天。应当说是不公平的一件事，所以A选项错误。
    小题6:A考查形容词词义辨析及语境理解。上文介绍过母亲不同意James的要求是因为担心他同学会认为家里异常而嘲笑他（But I’m just worried other people might think we’re a little… strange.）。这里James反驳说，他认为家里很寻常（We’re just ordinary people。），一点不古怪。 Strange 奇怪；normal 正常；popular 流行；anxious 焦急。
    小题7:A考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。母亲的感受，脖子疼导致头痛得很厉害。Headache 头痛；； loss失去，损失；task任务；day天，日子
    小题8:D考查形容词词义辨析及语境理解。可怜的父亲需要休息（He really needs a rest.），很可能身体感觉不舒服。ill 生病的；funny滑稽的；C. sorry难过的；well健康的（形容词）。A选项与D选项意思正好相反。
    小题9:B考查连词词义辨析及语境理解。James 问话的意思是，要是他能使父母亲舒服点，他的请求是否可以满足。该句逗号前后存在逻辑上的条件关系（“_44__ I can make you and Dad feel better, can Brett come over? Please。）As随着； If 如果；Since自从；Before在…之前。 
    小题10:C 考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。James跑向厨房，拉开抽屉，找到他所需要的东西。 kept保持；controlled控制；found找到；returned 归还。感觉下文可知他用找到的扳手来修理父母亲身上的故障。
    小题11:C考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。James 找到扳子后，做些修缮和调整，让母亲更舒服点。requests请求；thoughts想法；repairs维修；Instructions 指示，说明，James不仅说了，而且做了，所以此词不符合文意。

    The cash machine is 47 years old, but where was the birthplace of this world-beating invention? New York? Tokyo? No. The first ever cash machine was born in Enfield Town, north London. It was a Scottish inventor, John shepherd Barron, who realized the concept of a self-service machine that could be used 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to withdraw cash from one’s own bank account. It struck the inventor while he was in the bath. He hit upon the idea of a chocolate bar dispenser, replacing chocolate with cash.
    On September 2 in 1969, America’s first automatic teller machine (ATM) appeared in public, giving out cash to customers at Chemical Bank, New York. It was only able to give out cash, but in 1971, an ATM that could handle many functions, including depositing(存款) money, was introduced. Today there are over one million ATMs around the world, with a new one added every five minutes. It is reported that Americans over the age of 18 use their ATM card six to eight times a mouth. Not surprisingly, ATMs get their busiest workouts on Fridays. In the 1990s, banks began charging fees to use ATMs, a profitable move for them and an annoying one for consumers.
    Consumers were also faced with an increase in ATM crimes. Robbers preyed(抢夺) on people using money machines in poorly lit or otherwise unsafe locations, and criminals also thought up ways to steal customers’ PINs (personal identification numbers), even setting up fake money machines to capture the information. In response, city and state governments passed laws such as New York’s ATM Safety Act in 1996, which required banks to install such things as surveillance cameras (监控摄像头), reflective mirrors and locked entryways for their ATMs. 
    小题1:What does the underlined word, “It”, in the first paragraph, probably refer to?
    A．The opening time of the bank.
    B．The concept of an ATM.
    C．Ordinary banking service.
    D．The act of withdrawing cash.
    小题2: Which of the following is true about ATM?
    A．It appeared earlier than the chocolate bar dispenser.
    B．It was invented by a Scottish man in 1971.
    C．It was at first free of charge for its consumers.
    D．It was originally designed to deposit money.
    小题3: What can we learn from the text? "
    A． Americans under the age of 18 are not allowed to have an ATM card.
    B． People are more likely to turn to ATMs for banking service on Fridays.
    C． Criminals usually choose unsafe locations to steal customers' PINs.
    D． The ATM crime rate in New York is much lower than that in other state
    小题4: Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
    A． How to Operate on an ATM
    B． What is Waiting for ATMs in the Future?
    C． The First ATM Opened for Business
    D．The Unknown Truth about ATM

    Moving to a new neighborhood，town，state，or even country can be a pretty scary  experience.All you know is that things will be different and chances are you won’t know the kids  at your new school.
    The experiences that go with moving make many kids feel nervous and worried.This is perfectly normal but don’t let these emotions overrun your thoughts！You will soon get used to your surroundings and find new friends at your new school.
    Leaving old friends and familiar places behind can be difficult.However，as you begin the moving process，keep in mind that saying goodbye to your old house，school，and friends does not mean that you have to forget them or that your farewell is permanent！If you’re moving to a new state or even a different country and won’t see your friends for a long nme，don’t despair.Make sure to ask everyone for their address so you can write them letters.Also，thanks to the  Internet，it is very easy to stay in touch through email or instant messaging technologies.With  your parent’s permission，you can even create a blog or web page to chronicle all of your new  experiences.Include your thoughts，tales of your new adventures，even pictures of new friends，your new house，and new town.Your old friends will love seeing what you are busy with.
    Many schools have an orientation program where a student already established at the school shows a new student around for their first week.This can help you to find your way around the school and to make new friends faster.
    While moving is tough on kids of any age，high school counselor Karen Turner says moves can be particularly difficult for teens.“I think moving during adolescents is an extremely stressful experience，especially if you are into your junior high or senior year.Students tend to have established a very strong peer network during that period in their lives.Often this has more influence on them even than their families in some cases，and when they are torn from that there’s often resentment (怨气)．” However，Turner adds that while moving isn’t easy，there are things that your parents and the school can do to help you cope with the change.

    Shundagarh is a village on India's east-facing coast.It is a village of simple mud and grass houses built on the beach just above the waterline.The Khadra Hills rise immediately behind the village,to a height of one hundred and fifty meters.A simple,good-hearted old man,whose name was Jalpur,farmed two small fields on the very edge of these hills.From his fields he could see the fishing boats that travelled up and down the coast.He could see the children playing on the sands;their mothers washing clothes on the flat stones where the Shiva River flowed into the sea;and their fathers landing the latest catch or repairing nets and telling stories that had no end.
    All Jalpur owned in the world were the clothes he wore day in and day out,the miserable hut(小屋) that he slept in at night,a few tools and cooking pots—and his fields.The corn that he grew was all that made life possible.If the weather was kind and the harvest was good,Jalpur could live happily enough—not well,but happily.When the sun was fierce,and there was little or no rain,then he came close to the line between life and death.
    Last year the weather had been so kind,and the harvest promised to be so good,that Jalpur had been wondering whether he could sell all that he had and live with his son farther up the coast.He had been thinking about doing this for some years.It was his dearest wish to spend his last days with his son and his wife.But he would go only if he could give;he would not go if it meant taking food out of the mouths of his grandchildren.He would rather die hungry than do this.
    On the day when Jalpur decided that he would harvest his corn,sell it,and move up the coast,he looked out to sea and saw a huge wave,several kilometers out,advancing on the coast and on the village of Shundagarh.Within ten minutes everyone in Shundagarh would be drowned.Jalpur would have shouted,but the people were too far away to hear.He would have run down the hill,but he was too old to run.He was prepared to do anything to save the people of Shundagarh,so he did the only thing that he could do: he set fire to his corn.In a matter of seconds the flames were rising high and smoke was rising higher.Within a minute the people of Shundagarh were racing up the hill to see what had happened.There,in the middle of his blackened cornfield,they found Jalpur;and there they buried him.
    On his grave,they wrote the words: Here lies Jalpur,a man who gave,living: a man who died,giving.
    小题1:Which of the following could Jalpur NOT see from his Fields?
    A．Mothers washing clothes.
    B．Fathers taking their corn to market.
    C．Fishing boats traveling on the sea.
    D．Children playing on the sands.
    小题2:Why didn't Jalpur live well?
    A．He didn't work hard.
    B．He had too many children to feed.
    C．He only depended on good weather and harvest for survival.
    D．The villagers kept taking his corn.
    小题3:Jalpur's dearest wish was to _________.
    A．move away from his son
    B．take a vacation up the coast
    C．make a great deal of money in order to live an easy life
    D．spend his last days with his son and his wife
    小题4:What did Jalpur do when he saw the huge wave?
    A．He set his corn on fire so the people of Shundagarh would leave the beach.
    B．He screamed loudly to get the villagers' attention.
    C．He ran down the hill to tell the people.
    D．He stood still,not knowing what to do.

    Some people in Manchester, Britain, will soon be paying for goods and services with so-called “smart” credit cards. These cards are more secure than the traditional magnetic-strip version and can be used to travel on buses, check bank accounts and do shopping.
    The Manchester project is one of the biggest smart card schemes in the world. Every time people use the cards on a bus or train, the fare is deducted (reduced) from the value of the card. When they have no credit left, the cards can be recharged at a local shop.
    A smart card looks just like a normal plastic card but it has a silicon chip in it. It is possible for the same silicon chip to perform a number of different functions, so one plastic card in your pocket could do a large number of different jobs. The card has much more memory space than a magnetic-strip card, so many more things can be recorded on it.There are two types of smart cards. One is the contact card which is used in the same way as a magnetic-strip card.
    Information is transferred by running the card through a narrow opening in an electronic reader. In the slot, electronic probes make contact with the magnetic-strip or silicon ship and read the information. The other type is the contactless smart card where the electronic reader communicates with the card by short-range radio waves. This makes the card quicker and more convenient to use because it does not have to leave your wallet.  It is also more reliable as it is not easily influenced by scratches or dirt. However, the biggest advantage that smart cards have over magnetic-strip cards is that they are more secure. They are much more difficult to make than conventional cards and they have to be made by specially trained manufacturers. In addition, they have a large number of extra security features on them and if a smart card gets lost or stolen a quick phone-call to the distributor ensures that its individual number is made invalid and unreadable. This can be done more quickly than with a magnetic-strip card.
    小题1:A smart credit card can do many kinds of jobs because ____ .
    A．it is smartB．it is a plastic card
    C．it has a silicon chip in itD．it can be recharged
    小题2:“ The cards can be recharged” means that ____ .
    A．the card can be put into a new charge of electricity
    B．the cards can be changed into new ones
    C．the cards can be put to use again
    D．the cards can be recycled
    小题3:What are the advantages of smart credit cards over traditional ones?
    A．they can store more informationB．they are more secure
    C．they are more convenient to useD．all of the above
    小题4:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．Contactless cards are more convenient to use than contact ones
    B．Smart cards are more expensive to manufacturer
    C．By means of long-range radio waves contactless cards can communicate with the electronic reader
    D．A smart credit card and a normal plastic card are the same thing

    The clock struck（敲）eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly before me at a huge pile of that troublesome stuff they call “books”. I was going to have my examination the next day. “When can I go to bed?” I asked myself. I didn’t answer. In fact I dared not(不敢).
    The clock struck twelve. “Oh, dear!” I cried. “Ten more books to read before I can go to bed!” We students are the most wretched creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy.
    The clock struck one. I was quite desperate now. I forgot all I had learned. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, “Oh God, please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen.” My eyes were so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my head on the desk, I fell asleep.

    People aren’t walking any more---if they can figure out a way to avoid it.
    I felt superior about this matter until  the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel. The journey is a matter of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I wasn’t in ay hurry, either, I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness: motorosis.
    It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune(), for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs. At that time, we regarded 25 miles as good day’s walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as sign of strength and skill. It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship. And the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old I raced –and beat—a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Stature of Liberty.
    Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart. But a well-known British physician, Sir Adolphe Abrhams, pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper…… is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly. And wlaking is an ideal form of exercise--- the most familiar and natural of all.
    It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The man walking can learn the  trees, flower, insects, birds and animals, the significance of seasons, the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world, He cannot learn in a car.
    The car is a convenient means of transport, but we have made it our way of life. Many people don’t dare to approach Nature any more; to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat. To them security is a steel river thundering on a concrete road. And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.
    I say that the green of forests is the mind’s best light. And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.
    小题1:What is the national sickness?
    A．Walking too much
    B．Traveling too much
    C．Driving cars too much
    D．Climbing stairs too much.
    小题2:What was life like when the author was young?
    A．People usually went around on foot.
    B．people often walked 25 miles a day
    C．People used to climb the Statue of Liberty.
    D．people considered a ten-j\hour walk as a hardship.
    小题3:The author mentions Henry Thoreau to prove that
    A．middle-aged people like getting back to nature
    B．walking in nature helps enrich one’s mind
    C．people need regular exercise to keep fit
    D．going on foot prevents heart disease
    小题4:What is compared to “a steel river” in Paragraph6?
    A． A queue of cars
    B．A ray of traffic light
    C．A flash of lightning
    D．A stream of people
    小题5:What is the author’s intention of writing this passage?
    A．To tell people to reflect more non life.
    B．To recommend people to give up driving
    C．To advise people to do outdoor activities
    D．To encourage people to return to walking

    　　They are the sort of friends who are so close that they trust each other with their lives. If one falls, the other is there to catch him.
    They are Wellman, whose legs were permanently injured nine years ago in a rock-climbing accident, and Corbett, an experienced rock climber. Together, they climbed up Half Dome, the famous 2, 000-foot rock in the Yosemite National Park, through one of the most difficult routes(路线).
    During the climb, Corbett took the lead, hit in the metal spikes(尖状物)that guided the ropes, and climbed up. Then, after Wellman pulled himself up the rope, Corbett went down to remove the spikes and climbed up again. This process was repeated time and again, inch by inch, for 13 days.  Wellman’s job was not easy either. He got himself up the rope through upper body strength alone. In all, Wellman figured that he had done 5, 000 pull-ups up the rope on the climb.
    However, when the two men first met, they never talked about climbing. “He knew that was how I got injured. ”Wellman said. Until one day Wellman decided that he wanted to climb again and they started training.
    Their climb of Half Dome was not all smooth. At one point, pieces of rock gave way, and Corbett dropped down quickly. Wellman locked their rope in place, stopping the fall at 20 feet. His quick action probably saved his friend’s life.
    “Your partner can save your life—you can save your partner’s life. ”Wellman said as the pair received congratulations from friends. “There are real close ties. ”

    D．To lock the rope in place.
    小题2: Why did the two men never talk about climbing when they first met?
    A．Corbett was poorly trained.
    B．Wellman had lost interest in climbing.
    C．Corbett didn’t want to hurt Wellman.
    D．Wellman hadn’t decided whether to climb again or not.

    B．He was disabled in a traffic accident.
