D．a(chǎn)greements答案：C由下文的“Itwasthestoryofawomanwholived...whatlifethrewather,shelived.”可推測(cè)，作者給貝蒂寫(xiě)的訃告并不是一個(gè)“成就(achievements)”清單，而是一個(gè)女人的故事。17．A.Otherthan B．RatherthanC．Regardlessof

D．nature答案：A由上文的“Shedefinedherpurposeinlifebysimplylivingherlife.”可推斷，作者意識(shí)到人活著唯一“重要(matters)”的事情就是在時(shí)間的流逝中過(guò)好自己的“生活(life)”。Ⅱ.閱讀理解AIt's8am,Tuesday,Nov.18,2028,andyouareheadedforabusinessappointment300milesaway.Youstepintoyourcircle,two-passengerair-cushioncar,pressaseriesofbuttonsandthenationaltrafficcomputernotesyourdestination,figuresoutthecurrenttrafficsituationandsignalsyourcartoslideoutofthegarage.Handsfree,yousitbackandbegintoreadthemorningpaper—whichisflashedonaflatTVscreenoverthecar'sdashboard.Tappingabuttonchangesthepage.Thecarspeedsupto150mphinthecity'scountryside,andthenhits250mphinlessbuilt-upareas,drivingoverthesmoothplasticroad.Youflypastastringofcities,manyofthemcoveredbythenewdomes(圓屋頂)thatkeepthemevenlyclimatizedallyearround.Trafficisheavy,typically,butthere'snoneedtoworry.Thetrafficcomputer,whichsendsandreceivessignalstoandfromallcarsontheroadbetweencities,keepsvehiclesatleast50ydsapart.Therehasn'tbeenanaccidentsincethesystembegan.SuddenlyyourTVphonebuzzes.Abusinesspartnerwantsasketchofanewkindofimpelleryourfirmisputtingoutforsportsboats.Youreachforyourcaseanddrawthediagramwithapencil-thininfraredflashlight(紅外線閃光燈)onwhatlookslikeaTVscreenliningthebackofthecase.Thediagramissenttoasimilarscreeninyourpartner'soffice,200milesaway.Hepressesabuttonandafixedcopyofthesketchrollsoutofthemachine.Hewishesyougoodluckatthecomingmeetingandsignsoff.Ninetyminutesafterleavingyourhome,youslidebeneaththedomeofyourdestinationcity.Yourcarslowsdownandheadsforanouter-coreofficebuildingwhereyou'llmeetyourcolleagues.Afteryougetout,thevehicleparksitselfinagaragetoawaityourreturn.Privatecarsaren'tallowedinsidemostcitycores.Movingsidewalksandelectrams(電車(chē))carrythepublicfromonelocationtoanother.篇章導(dǎo)讀：本文為一篇記敘文。全文暢想了人們?cè)诓贿h(yuǎn)的將來(lái)2028年的高科技精彩生活。1．Thetrafficcomputerinyourcarcan________.A．keepyourcaratasafedistancefromothercarsB．keepyourcaratthesamespeedindifferentsituationsC．keepyourcarreceivingsignalsofTVprogramsD．keepyourcardrivingavoidingheavytraffic答案：A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第二段倒數(shù)第二句“Thetrafficcomputer,whichsendsandreceivessignalstoandfromallcarsontheroadbetweencities,keepsvehiclesatleast50ydsapart.”可知，交通電腦可以使汽車(chē)保持安全的距離。2．Whyarethecitiescoveredbythenewdomes?A．Topreventpeoplefrombeingwetintherain.B．Tostoptheclimateofthecitieschangingviolentlyallyear.C．Toprotectthetravelersagainstthestrongsunshine.D．Tomakethecityhavethesameweatherallyear.答案：B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第二句中的“manyofthemcoveredbythenewdomes(圓屋頂)thatkeepthemevenlyclimatizedallyearround”可知，城市上空的圓屋頂?shù)淖饔檬鞘钩鞘械臍夂蜃兓粍×遥容^均勻。所以選B。3．Whatwillthecitybelikeinthefuture?A．Noaccidentswillhappenbecauseofheavytraffic.B．Thesidewalkcanmoveitselfupanddown.C．Theroadisbuiltwiththeplasticmaterial.D．Thecarparksitselfonadometowaitforyourreturn.答案：C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第二段中的“drivingoverthesmoothplasticroad”可知，道路是塑料建造的。其他選項(xiàng)均與文中細(xì)節(jié)不符。故選C項(xiàng)。4．Thethirdparagraphmainlytells________.A．youareluckytosellproductsofyourcompanyB．youreceivebestwishesfromyourbusinesspartnerC．youcandobusinesswithanewlyinventedpencilD．youcandobusinessevenontheroadinthefuture答案：D段落大意題。本段講述了你在路上處理公司業(yè)務(wù)，從而達(dá)成交易的過(guò)程。由此可知，本段主要是說(shuō)即使在路上，由于具有先進(jìn)的技術(shù)，你也可以做生意。故D項(xiàng)正確地概括了全段主旨。BWhatwillhumanslooklikein1,000years?Videosuggestswecoulddevelopredeyes,havedarkerskinandbebetter-looking.Climatechange,artificialintelligenceandgeneticmutations(基因突變)areallsettotransformourbodies.Inthefuturetinyrobotswillbesuddenlyputintoourownbodies,improvingourabilities.Meanwhile,designerbabieswillcausefuturegenerationstogrowintoincreasinglyintelligentandattractivepeople.Butwhilethatwillmakeussmarter,strongerandbetter-looking,suchgeneticsimilarity,orlackofhumandiversity,leavesroomforasinglenewdiseaseofthefuturetowipeouttheentirehumanrace.Asglobalwarmingtakeshold,humanswillalsobeskinnierandtaller,asthisbodyshapeisbetterabletodissipateheat.Ourfacesmayalsochangegreatly,accordingtoDrAlanKwan,whoholdsaPhDincomputationalgenomicsfromWashingtonUniversityinStLouis.DrKwanhascreatedashockingseriesofimageswhichshowonepossibleevolutionforthehumanraceoverthenext100,000years.Asgeneticengineeringbecomesnormal,“thefateofthehumanfacewillbeincreasinglydeterminedbyhumantastes，”writesDrKwan,whileforeheadswillcontinuetoexpandasourbrainscontinuetogrowlarger.Asmanachievestotalcontrolovergenetics,thehumanfacewillbecomeheavilybiased(有偏見(jiàn)的)towardsfeaturesthathumansfindfundamentallyappealing:stronglines,straightnoseanddeepeyes.DrKwanbelieveseyeswillgrowverylargeasthehumanracecolonizes(開(kāi)拓殖民地)thesolarsystemandpeoplestartlivinginthedimmerenvironmentsofcoloniesfurtherawayfromthesun.篇章導(dǎo)讀：本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。全文主要暢想了1，000年后人類(lèi)外形上將發(fā)生的巨大變化。5．Whatwillhappenin1,000yearsaccordingtothetext?A．Humanswillbecomelessbeautiful.B．Humanswillstayawayfromalldiseases.C．Robotswillreplacehumansinmanyareas.D．Humanswillhavehigherabilitiesthannow.答案：D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一句可知，隨著將來(lái)微型機(jī)器人被植入人體，人類(lèi)的本領(lǐng)會(huì)更強(qiáng)。6．Whatdoestheunderlinedword“dissipate”inthesecondparagraphmean?A．Keepsomethingin.B．Drivesomethingout.C．Makesomethingappear.D．Separatesomethingfromothers.答案：B詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)畫(huà)線詞所在句可知，將來(lái)人類(lèi)會(huì)更加瘦長(zhǎng)，而這種體形上的變化是為了應(yīng)對(duì)全球變暖。由此可推知，瘦長(zhǎng)的體形更有助于人類(lèi)在日趨變暖的環(huán)境中散熱。故選B項(xiàng)。7．AccordingtoDrAlanKwan,in100,000years________.A．humanswillhavetheabilitytocontrolthesolarsystemB．humans'foreheadswillbecomeaslargeastheirbrainsC．humanswillgainricherknowledgeaboutgeneticsD．humans'faceswillbeskinnierandlonger答案：C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段對(duì)基因工程的介紹，尤其是“Asmanachievestotalcontrolovergenetics”可推知，100,000年后，人類(lèi)在基因方面的知識(shí)會(huì)更加豐富。其他幾項(xiàng)均與原文信息不符。8．Whywillthefuturehumanshavebiggereyes?A．Toadapttothelackofsunlight.B．Toadapttothechangeofclimate.C．Toadjusttotheirlargerforeheads.D．Tomakethemselvesmorebeautiful.答案：A推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段，尤其是“inthedimmerenvironments”可推知，由于遠(yuǎn)離太陽(yáng)，未來(lái)人類(lèi)生存環(huán)境中的光線會(huì)更暗，所以人們的眼睛會(huì)變大，以適應(yīng)這一變化。Ⅲ.短文改錯(cuò)TheincidenthadhappenedonmywaytoabookstoreontherainySundayafternoon.Iwaswaitingforthegreenlightwhenagirlabouttenwasknockeddownbyapassingcar,thatdroveoffquickly.Amanimmediatelyrushedtothegirltogivehimfirstaid.Ijoinedinwithoutanyhesitate.Ayoungwomancalled110andthepolicessoonarrivedonthescene.Fortunateshewasnotbadlyinjuredandwesenthertothenearesthospital.Comparingwiththeescapeddriver,IamproudofthatIdid.答案：Theincidenteq\o(eq\o(had,＼),\s\do14(①))happenedonmywaytoabookstoreoneq\o(the,\s\do
