8.I used to believe courtesy(禮貌) was a thing of the past.Very seldom have I encountered a courteous human being in this modem era of the so called Generation X.
Recently,I had to change my thinking,when I came face to face with just such a human being.I had gone to a happening coffee place,with two of my grown up daughters.The place was crowded with the usual loud crowd and we had to climb a sleep flight of stairs in order to find an empty table.After enjoying coffee and snacks,we were at the steep descent down the stairs,where the narrow space made climbing down only possible in a single file,with hardly any space for another person to either climb up or come down.
Just as I was in the middle of my descent,a gentleman entered the main entrance of the restaurant which right in front of the staircase.I was sure I would be pushed roughly by this man who will want to go up in a hurry.I kept coming down as fast as I could,holding on to the banister (欄桿),instead of my advanced years.My agile daughters were already down,looking up at me worriedly,hoping I would reach them before the stranger strange started up the stairs,knowing I was a nervous sort.
Nearly reaching them,I noticed the man still standing near the door.I reached my daughters and passed the stranger at the entrance door which he kept holding open.I looked back thinking he was still at the door,deciding whether to go in or find another less crowded place.I saw him going up the stairs,two at a time.I told my daughters about it and all three of us felt had that we did not even thank the courteous gentleman who was actually holding the door open for us ladies to pass through before going up.

33.What happened after the writer saw the young man?D
A.The young man pushed the writer roughly and went upstairs.
B.The writer's daughters helped her down the stairs as fast possible.
C.The young man stood at the door deciding whether to go in or not.
D.The writer caught hold of the bannister to walk as fast as she can.
34.What do you think caused the writer's nervousness?C
A.The stairs were too narrow and sleep.
B.Her two daughters had been down already.
C.She was afraid of being pushed roughly.
D.She could not walk fast because of old age.
35.What can be the best title?A
A.A polite young man.
B.Generation X.
C.The coffee place.
D.A family get-together.

分析 本文是一篇記敘文,男子為女士讓路并且開門,這是一種現(xiàn)在這個(gè)社會(huì)很少見得善解人意的體貼行為.

解答 33.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段I kept coming down as fast as 1 could,holding on to the banister (欄桿),instead of my advanced years.可知作者抓著護(hù)欄走得盡可能地快,故答案為D.
34.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.第三段提到自己走到樓梯中間時(shí)年輕人進(jìn)來,"I was sure I would be pushed roughly by this man who will want to go up in a hurry."注意本句使用了虛擬語氣,所以"I kept coming down as fast as I could,holding on to the banister (欄桿),instead of my advanced years."可推斷,作者是由于對generation X的誤解而導(dǎo)致緊張.
35.A 標(biāo)題判斷題.瀏覽全文可知,第一段點(diǎn)題,闡述一次經(jīng)歷改變了自己對年輕人看法,下面就是敘述這次經(jīng)歷,而這次經(jīng)歷的關(guān)鍵人物是這位年輕人.

點(diǎn)評 閱讀理解題測試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力,要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系,對未說明的趨勢或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷;或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點(diǎn)理論,對文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋.考生首先要仔細(xì)閱讀短文,完整了解信息,準(zhǔn)確把握作者觀點(diǎn).

13.If two scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory are correct,people will still be driving gasoline powered cars 50 years from now,giving out heat-trapping carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)into the atmosphere-and yet that carbon dioxide will not contribute to global warming.
In a proposal by two scientists,vehicle emissions(排放)would no longer contribute to global warming.The scientists,F(xiàn).Jeffrey Martin and William L.Kubic Jr.,are proposing a concept,which they have named Green Freedom,for removing carbon dioxide from the air and turning it back into gasoline.
The idea is simple.Air would be blown over a liquid solution of potassium carbonate,which would absorb the carbon dioxide.The carbon dioxide would then be put to chemical reactions that would turn it into fuel(燃料):gasoline or jet fuel.
This process could change carbon dioxide from an unwanted,climate-changing pollutant into a vast resource for renewable fuels.The cycle-equal amounts of carbon dioxide produced and removed-would mean that cars,trucks and airplanes using the synthetic (合成的) fuels would no longer be contributing to global warming.
Although they have not yet built a synthetic fuel factory,or even a small model,the scientists say it is all based on existing technology."Everything in the concept has been built,is operating or has a close cousin that is operating."Dr.Martin said.
The Los Alamos proposal does not go against any laws of physics,and other scientists who have independently suggested similar ideas.Dr.Martin said he and Dr.Kubic had worked out their concept in more detail than former proposals.
There is,however,a major fact that explains why no one has built a carbon-dioxide-to-gasoline factory:it requires a great deal of energy.
According to their analysis,their concept,which would cost about﹩5 billion to build,could produce gasoline at an operating cost of﹩1.40 a gallon and would turn economically practical when the price at the pump hits﹩4.60 a gallon.
Other scientists said the Los Alamos proposal perhaps looked promising but could not evaluate it fully because the details has not been published."It's definitely worth pursuing,"said Martin I.Hoffert,a professor of physics at New York University."It's not that new an idea.It has a couple of pieces to it that are interesting."

62.What is the concept of Green Freedom?C
A.Removing the emission of carbon dioxide.
B.Reducing the carbon dioxide produced by car driving.
C.Recycling the carbon dioxide into gasoline.
D.Reserving the carbon dioxide for global warming.
63.What is the value of the scientists'proposal?C
A.It increases the productivity of a fuel factory.
B.It decreases the cost of producing gasoline.
C.It reduces the pollution caused by car driving.
D.It promotes a new idea of environmental protection.
64.The underlined part"has a close cousin that is operating"probably means the technology in the conceptD.
A.has been popular for so long
B.has been ignored by many people
C.is not appropriate for practice
D.will be put into practice in the near future  
65.What is the biggest challenge in realizing the concept Green Freedom?B
A.There is no theoretical basis.
B.It is not economically practical.
C.There is no solution to some technical problems.
D.Only a few scientists support the idea.

20.Wireless technology is relatively young.The first generation has been around only since the early 1980s,when analog voice transmission (傳送,播送) networks were introduced.The second generation took over in the mid-'90s with the coming of digital wireless voice and data networks,giving us the capabilities that brought about the cell phone revolution we know today.Yet,as remarkable as the technology is,there's still plenty of room for improvement in the roaming capabilities and sound quality of cellular transmission.
Enter the so-called third generation---or 3G---which generally refers to networks capable of connecting to the Internet at speeds of 40times the rate of today's cell phones.This level of service promises Internet connections fast enough to download streaming audio and video files,swap digital photos,and hold teleconferences.It also uses the existing spectrum space more efficiently and increases the speeds with which basic data can be transmitted over wireless devices.
The truth is,most business data doesn't need the full-motion video provided by 3G.Generally,the goal is to transmit text data to employees who are attempting to keep in touch with the office while travelling or working from home."It's simply untrue that current networks aren't good enough to adequately support the needs of your business,"says Erik Lassila,a managing director with Clearstone Venture Partners,a VC firm in Menlo Park,California."Businesses should focus their technology investments in the area of wireless data transmission,"not streaming video capabilities.
Before giving in to the hype (吹噓宣傳,夸大其詞) that surrounds 3G,focus on mobile applications that can help your company gain customer loyalty.Assess how important it is for your business to access accurate inventory data,sales objectives and product details from anywhere via Web-connected cell phones and very small personal computers.Look only at those wireless systems that can enhance your company's business processes and show immediate payback.
It's true that mobile computing will help employees work smarter and more efficiently.But companies must be cautious in how they roll out wireless services and take the time to factor in the ROI before chasing the next big technology.

62.According to the passage,we are currently using the wireless technology ofB.
A.the first generation
B.the second generation
C.the third generation
D.the fourth generation
63.Most business data are in the form ofA.
A.text
B.video
C.a(chǎn)udio
D.photo
64.People wrongly believe thatC.
A.we can never catch up with the development of wireless technology
B.most of the advanced wireless technologies are useless
C.current wireless technology cannot satisfy the needs of business
D.using wireless technology to conduct business is a waste of time
65.The author's main purpose is toC.
A.introduce the newest wireless technology
B.a(chǎn)dvise against businesses using new technology
C.show that current wireless technology is enough for business
D.explain how wireless technology can help business.

17.Albert Einstein was a pretty smart cookie-he changed the world forever with his theory of relativity.(36)C As you try to get the most out of your life,count yourself as Einstein's student and listen to these solid pieces of wisdom.
1.(37)B.
In a letter to his son,Einstein wrote,"Mainly play the things on the piano which please you,even if the teacher does not assign those.That is the way to learn the most.When you are doing something with such enjoyment,you don't notice that the time passes."
(38)DPositive emotions help people remember more complex things.
2.Aim to connect with value to other people.
When asked for some advice about education,Einstein replied,"Try not to become a man of success.Rather,become a man of value."Values-what you believe or view as important-define what goals you set and the behaviors you have with others.(39)GAnd then others learn they can trust you.
Progressing on your goals can make you happier and more satisfied.Once your values are in place,success typically follows.
3.Get rid of what's complex and explain the ideas easily.
When talking with French physicist Louis de Broglie,Einstein said that people should be able to describe all physical theories simply enough"that even a child could understand them."(40)E.It forces you to simplify,because kids don't have a lot of the information you do to reference.
So dive in,learn and do more,starting today.

A.Keep you stay on task.
B.Focus on what you love.
C.He was also a great teacher.
D.We do better and learn more if we like what we do.
E.Approach explanations as though you're talking to a kid.
F.You need to know how to maximize learning and achieve more.
G.If those goals and behaviors are clear and consistent,you can make concrete plans.
