Our Future Homes
　What kinds of homes will we live         the future? Nobody can be sure,         architects, and scientists are         new ideas now.
　　Some architects are thinking about          whole cities under huge glass domes. Of course, complicated heating and        systems will be necessary to control the climate in the domes.        , there will never be any rain      snow, and the temperature will be always        .
　　Perhaps everyone will live in vertical（立体的）       . High rises are so large that they can contain all the necessities of life. Since vertical cities will use        land than horizontal cities, and provide homes for more people, they will be       for small countries that have     populations.
Another idea that will be helpful to        countries (and island countries) is
the      city. Monaco has already built homes, stores, and offices         the water of the Mediterranean Sea. And a Japanese       has made a plan for constructing buildings on bridges over Tokyo Bay.
　　There are some people who think we will go back to living in       . But the caves of the future will be quite      the caves of the Stone Age. Computers will control light and climate. Farms and parks will be on the land      the cave city. When people want to go to the country or to a park, a short ride in       will take them there.

试题分析：文章叙述了建筑师对未来家园的几种设想：圆顶的城市，立体的城市，漂浮的城市，山洞城市。
小题1:C考查介词。句意: 在将来我们住在什么样的房子里呢？因为宾语是房子，live居住，是不及物动词，带宾语时需加in，再有就是关键词the future，构成短语：in the future，所以C正确。

小题7:A考查连词。句意: 将不会有雨也不会有雪，根据句意是连续否定，所以用or .
小题8:D考查形容词。句意:温度将是总是让人舒服的。根据前句既有圆顶，又有冷却和加热系统，A. pleased 高兴的    B. happy高兴的C. content满意的D. comfortable舒适的，所以D正确
小题9:D考查名词。句意:或许大家都愿意住在立体的城市里。根据后线索：Since vertical cities will use        land than horizontal cities,，所以是城市，D正确
小题10:D考查形容词和语境理解。句意:由于立体的城市将比地面上的城市使用更少的土地。根据句意和语境理解，因为是立体的，所以使用的土地更少，所以D正确。
小题11:A考查形容词。句意:由于用地少，为更多的人提供的家园，所以对于人口多的小城市来说更加实用。A. practical实用的B. expensive昂贵的   C. unnecessary不必要的D. useless无用的，所以A正确
小题12:D考查形容词。句意: 对于人口多的小城市来说更加实用。根据固定用法：人口的多少不用many，much，而应该用large和small，所以D正确

小题18:A考查形容词短语。句意未来的山洞和石器时代的山洞很不同。根据后线索Computers will control light and climate，当然是不同了，所以A正确。
小题19:C考查介词。句意:农田和公园将在山洞城市的上面A. under在。。。下面 B. in 在。。。里C. over 在。。。上方    D. far from远离，over是指在洞穴的上方，所以C正确

Cold weather can be hard on pets, just like it can be hard on people. Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter as they are. Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pets in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.
Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When you’re cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. If you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.
If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pet’s water. Sometimes owners don’t realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can’t get anything to drink. Animals that don’t have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.
小题1:What do we learn about pets from Paragraph 1?

A．They are often forgotten by their owners.

B．They are used to living outdoors.

C．They build their own shelters.

D．They like to stay in warm places.

小题2:Why are pet owners asked to stay with their pets when they are out in cold weather?

A．To know when to bring them inside.

B．To keep them from eating bad food.

C．To help them find shelters.

D．To keep them company.

小题3: If pets are left on their own outdoors in cold weather, they may ___.

A．run short of clean water	B．dig deep holes for fun
C．dirty the snow nearby	D．get lost in the wild

It’s become part of the restaurant table setting: knife, fork, napkin and cell phone.
　 Distracted (思想不集中的) dining is the new concern with customers constantly texting friends, uploading a Weibo photo of the meal they’re about to chew down or emailing the boss. For many smart-phone users, it’s hard just to focus on the meal and company at hand.
　 Now, one restaurant in Los Angeles is giving diners a reason to turn off the digital world, by offering customers willing to check (寄存) their phones at the door a 5-percent discount on their bill. Owner and chef Mark Gold of Eva Restaurant, located on Beverly Boulevard near N. Gardner Street, hopes this gives customers a way to truly sit back and relax, enjoy their meal and actually talk with friends and family in person.
　 “For us, it’s really not about people disturbing other guests. Eva is home, and we want to create that environment of home, and we want people to connect again,” he explained. “It’s about two people sitting together and just connecting, without the distraction of a phone, and we’re trying to create an atmosphere where you come in and really enjoy the experience and the food and the company.”
　 Gold said applying the suggestion reminds him to avoid cell phone usage, too. “I’m guilty of it as well. When my wife and I go to dinner it seems like the cell phone is part of the table setting now. Every table you look at, it’s a wine glass, the silverware and the cell phone,” he joked.
　 The husband and wife team runs Eva, a 40-person space with European flair. Gold said a little less than half take advantage of the deal, and no one has gotten upset about it.
　 “I think once the server approaches the table and they’re presented with the offer, they like the idea of actually talking to each other again,” he said.
小题1:When having meal in Eva Restaurant, we are not offered on the table.[学,

A．forks

B．cellphones

C．napkins

D．knives

小题2:Why does Gold think people should not use cellphones at table?

A．Because it can cause health problems.

B．Because it will disturb other customers.

C．Because it can get a 5-percent discount on the customers’ bills.

D．Because it may prevent people communicating with their companions.

小题3:What can we learn from the passage?

A．Many people would like to upload a photo of their food before they eat nowadays.

B．People are forbidden to use cellphones in Eva Restaurant.

C．More than half of the customers in Eva Restaurant have enjoyed the discount.

D．People can easily connect with each other anytime without using cellphones.

小题4:What can be the best title of the passage?

C．Eva Restaurant – Home to Customers.

D．Talk Face to Face.

Many blind people use guide dogs to help them get safely from place to place and to warn them of danger. But what can blind people do if they are allergic（过敏的）to dogs or just don’t like them? For some people, the answer is provided by the Guide
Horse Foundation.
Janet and Don Burleson founded the organization in 1999. They began training miniature horses to help guide blind people. Miniature horses look just like regular horses, only much smaller. They are generally less than 34 inches tall.

Shaw loves horses and wanted a guide animal that would live a long time. He applied（申请）, and a year later, Cuddles and Shaw began training as a team.
On a trip to New York, Cuddles helped Shaw safely tour Times Square, a very busy part of the city at night. The next day, Cuddles calmly rode the elevator with Shaw to the crowded top of the Empire State Building, a famous tall building. Cuddles even guided Shaw on the boat ride to the Statue of Liberty（自由女神像）, and traveled on the subway system.
Shaw says that he is very lucky to have Cuddles. He believes that Cuddles has changed his life for the better by giving him the chance to do things himself and making him feel much more confident about himself.

Not many people can say that they have lived in two totally different environments, and technically neither can I. I have lived in the same house in the same Connecticut town my whole life, but a lot of my childhood and teenage years have been spent visiting my family in New York City.
Wethersfield is a typical New England town, a small close community (社区) where almost everyone knows your name. My friends all go to the same high school and my parents are friendly with my friends’ parents. Most of my friends don’t realize what life is like outside this little town. Maybe every so often a few take a day trip to Manhattan or Boston, but none really knows what it’s like to live in an urban environment.
My parents are both from New York City and since they have siblings and friends who still live there, we visit a lot. From an early age I have been exposed to urban life. Jeff, one of my cousins, lives with his mother in a one-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn. He has never had his own room and has always been very much on his own. I don’t think any of my friends could understand how someone could live like that.
When I go to the city I see things I would never see in my hometown. I see poverty and people struggling to make a living. I observe a whole different pace; there, you’re just one guy living with millions of others who will never know your name.
I feel blessed to have experienced the lifestyles of two completely different places. I am grateful for the opportunities I have had. I feel that living in Wethersfield has given me a solid base in forming my character and the ability to deal in a close-knit society. On the other hand, my time spent in New York has exposed me to diverse cultural experiences. I feel that I would be comfortable in any environment and could make the best of any situation.
小题1:According to the author, most of his friends in the town _____.

A．have never experienced city life

B．can only understand the rural life

C．prefer the small close community

D．know little about the real city life

小题2:The underlined word “siblings” in paragraph 3 means _____.

One evening after dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Tisich called a family meeting. “We’ve had to make a difficult decision,” Mr. Tisich announced. “You see, your mother has been offered a post as co-director of a television station in Chicago. Unfortunately, the station is not here. After thinking long and hard about it, we’ve concluded that the right decision is to move to Chicago.” Marc looked shocked, while his sister Rachel breathlessly started asking when they’d be moving. “It’s surprising, but exciting!” she said. Marc simply said, “We can’t go—I can’t leave all my friends. I’d rather stay here and live with Tommy Lyons!”
The Tisichs hoped that by the time they moved in August, Marc would grow more used to the idea of leaving. However, he showed no signs of accepting the news, refusing to pack his belongings. When the morning of the move arrived, Marc was nowhere to be found. His parents called Tommy Lyon’s house, but Mrs. Lyons said she hadn’t seen Marc. Mrs. Tisich became increasingly concerned, while her husband felt angry with their son for behaving so irresponsibly.
What they didn’t know was that Marc had started walking over to Tommy’s house, with a faint idea of hiding in Lyons’s attic(阁楼) for a few days. But something happened on the way as Marc walked past all the familiar landscape of the neighborhood: the fence that he and his mother painted, the tree that he and his sister used to climb, the park where he and his father often took evening walks together. How much would these mean without his family, who make them special in the first place? Marc didn’t take the time to answer that question but instead hurried back to his house, wondering if there were any moving cartons(纸板箱)the right size to hold his record collection.
小题1:The conflict(冲突) in this story was caused by_________.

A．Marc and Rachel’s different attitudes

B．a quarrel between Tommy Lyons and Marc

C．Marc’s disagreement with his parents about their move

D．Mr. And Mrs. Tisich’s comment of Marc’s irresponsibility

小题2:Marc and Rachel’s reactions to the move were similar in the way that both were________.

A．surprised	B．angry and upset
C．anxious for more details	D．worried about pacing

小题3:The reason for Marc’s going home was that_________.

A．he did not want to be left behind

B．he realized his family was important to him

C．he hoped to reach an agreement with his parents

D．he wished to be a more responsible person

小题4:What would most likely happen next?

A．Marc would bring his records over to the Lyons’s house.

B．Mr. and Mrs. Tisich would call the police.

C．Marc would join his family for house moving.

D．Mr. and Mrs. Tisich would start searching for Marc.

Accidents happen almost every day. Some accidents are not serious and some are. We read about such accidents nearly every day in the newspapers. It is wrong for people to think that accidents take place only on the roads or highways, or even at work places. Home accidents are just as common. Because very few home accidents are reported, people come to think that there are few accidents which happen in homes.
There have been many cases where people fall to their deaths from high rise flats. Children often fall over while coming down the stairs. Old people may slip (滑跤) on wet floors if they are not careful.
Nowadays there are a lot of modern electrical appliances (电器) such as rice cookers which make life easy for the modern house wives. These appliances can kill if they are not used in the proper way. Gas stoves (煤气灶) used for cooking are also dangerous if they are not properly used. They may cause burns or, in more serious cases, even fires.
But all such accidents can be stopped if we are careful and follow simple rules of safety. For example, it is unwise for people to try repairing their own electrical appliances if they do not know how to. It is safer to get them repaired by an electrician (电工).
小题1:Accidents take place ____.

A．mostly in homes

B．mostly on roads and highways

C．mostly in factories

D．almost everywhere

小题2:Which of the following accidents may NOT happen in homes?

A．People may fall to death from high buildings.

B．People may be knocked down by cars on the roads.

C．Gas stoves may cause burns or even fires.

D．People may be killed by an electrical appliance.

小题3:People are advised____ .

A．to avoid using electrical appliances

A
Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day’s events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isn’t accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?
When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I automatically took out my pen.
　　At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.
　　Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful. I’m no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.
　　I don’t want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I won’t have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I’ll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I don’t live to make memories — I just live, and the memories form themselves.
小题1:Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of __________.

A．observing her school routine

B．expressing her satisfaction

C．impressing her classmates

D．preserving her history

小题2:What does the author put in her diary now?

A．Notes and beautiful pictures.

B．Special thoughts and feelings.

C．Detailed accounts of daily activities.

D．Descriptions of unforgettable events.

小题3:The author comes to realize that to live a meaningful life is __________.

A．to experience it

B．to live the present in the future

C．to make memories

D．to give accurate representations of it
