    Today our lives are changing faster than at any time in history. Here we report on three important changes that will have a big impact on our everyday lives in the future．
    The cashless society 
    Cash and bank-notes will disappear almost completely. They will be replaced by smart cards, namely plastic cards: microchip（微芯片）processors（处理器）loaded with some money. When we pay for goods，the shop assistant will put our smart card into a payment terminal（终端）and money will come into his card from our card. When all the money is used up，we will be able to reloadit by putting it into a telephone，dialing our bank account and money will be put into the card from the account.
    Interactive telephones 
    Talking computers will play an important part. They will recognize speech, ask us what information we need, look through a database，and put the information into speech．If we want to book a flight or pay a bill by phone, we will interact with a talking computer to do so. Human telephone operators will be used only for more complex operations such as dealing with complaints or solving special problems.
    Traffic jams in cities will be reduced because drivers will use electronic route maps to find the quickest route to their destination. Electronic systems will start changing motorists for driving in cities．As soon as motorists have to pay to drive in cities, they will stop using their cars and use public transport instead. Speed control systems will be built into cars. These systems will automatically（自动地）regulate the speed of the car to take account of traffic and weather conditions and prevent accidents. It will be many years before these changes bring results but when they do，there will be a titanic improvement in road safety.
    With the development of science and technology, more and more advanced things will be invented or created. Life in the future is undoubtedly different from that at the present.
    小题1:Cash and bank-note will disappear because         .
    A．they will be out of use sooner or later
    B．they will be replaced by plastic cards convenient to use
    C．we can load money from the bank

    A．Go to the bank to deposit some money.
    B．Put the card into a telephone and dial the bank account.
    C．Buy a new card.
    D．We don’t know.
    小题3:Which of the following would be the best subtitle for the fourth paragraph?
    A．Future cars B．Speed control systemsC．Intelligent carsD．Traffic jams

    A．When we buy tickets for flying somewhere else, we can have a talk with the computer.
    B．If you make a complaint, you can use human telephone operation.
    C．Drivers will stop using their cars and use public transport in order to prevent accidents.
    D．The help of electronic route maps will decrease traffic jams.
    小题5:The underlined word “titanic” in Paragraph 4 means        .
    A．huge and greatB．the name of a shipC．slightD．increasing

    小题1:B
    小题2:B
    小题3:C
    小题4:C
    小题5:A

    试题分析：这篇文章介绍了新科技给我们的生活带来的变化，从无卡社会到互动电话都给我们的生活带来方便快捷。
    小题1:细节题。由第二段第二句They will be replaced by smart cards, namely plastic cards: microchip（微芯片）processors（处理器）loaded with some money.可知正确答案是B。
    小题2:细节题：由第二段最后一句When all the money is used up，we will be able to reloadit by putting it into a telephone，dialing our bank account and money will be put into the card from the account.
    可知正确答案是B。
    小题3:主旨题：第四段主要介绍通过给汽车配备智能系统来解决交通拥堵问题，所以选C。
    小题4:细节题。由第四段第三句可知，司机在城市中不开车而使用公共交通是因为在城市中开车要付费，选项C的表述不正确。
    小题5:猜词题：根据句义“这些变化带来结果需要很多年的时间，但是一旦发生了，对于道路安全将会是一个……的提高”，四个选项中只有A选项“巨大的”的意思更为贴切。
    点评：本题集中考查了推理题，要求考生要根据文章的细节要求和上下文的语义关系确定推理的内容，准确判断和推测。猜测词义题在解题的过程中要注意前后文中的同义词，近义词，反义词，以及对所划内容的定义等的解释。

    LG Electronics, the world’s fourth largest cell phone producer, has added another feature to the mobile phone-reading books for the visually impaired(弱视). The company started marketing the model, the LF1300 on Sep.18.No other people but the blind and visually-impaired with a certificate(证书) can buy the talking phone at sales shops of LG Electronics.
    “The LF1300 is the world’s first mobile phone that is capable of reading books for the print-disabled, who otherwise could not enjoy them．This is not about making money but about continuing to put froth efforts to reduce the digital difference for the disabled,” LG Vice President said.
    Its users can download about 300 audio books from the Internet site of LG Sangam Library to their phones for free in two ways. One is to access the digital library’s Website on a computer designed for the blind to get the audio books and transfer them to cell phones. The other is to download the digital books directly with cell phones through the wireless net work by touching a hot key on the LF1300 phone.
    On top of its unique feature of reading books, the LF1300 is no worse than the pupular top-line phones in both outlooks and frnctionalities(功能性). The phone is armed with an MP3 player and a Bluetooth headset, enabling users to listen to the music or talk without a cord. The user interface（界面) of the LF1300 is also designed for the blind,enabling phone users to control it through a voice guidance system.
    However, because the phone’s internal mimory of 17MB is small even for a single audio book file, which takes up 80MB on average, a high-volume external memory is a must for the talking book services.

    B．All the blind and poor-sighted people
    C．The blind and poor-sighted with a certificate

    A．This is the first time LG company has done something for the disabled.
    B．Phone users don’t have to pay much to download the digital books.
    C．LF1300 has a less attractive outlook than any other top-line phone.
    D．The disadvantage of LF1300 is that it has too small internal memory.

    It’s good to make mistakes, and here is why．
    First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things． It’s always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing． If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? The simple answer is “You can’t”． Look around you． With very few exceptions, either everything you see in your physical world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new．
    Another good thing about mistakes is this: When you are making mistakes, you are learning． Consider this: Edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb． When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work．
    Finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success． Why?
    Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some number of things before you succeeded． Every time you make a mistake you eliminate one of those things and are one step closer．
    But this all doesn’t mean that you should go ahead without considering the consequences of a mistake． Quite the contrary, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesn’t work out the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again．
    We all have limited resources in the form of time and money so don’t blow them all on one approach to a problem． Realize that it probably won’t be perfect the first time and allocate （分配） these resources appropriately so you can learn, make corrections, and try it again． Only by accepting and using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your business and your career．
    There is an old saying that goes, “If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not trying hard enough．”
    So go forth and make mistakes． And learn． And grow． And prosper（成功）．
    小题1:From the second paragraph, we can conclude that _______．
    A．mistakes are unnecessary for development
    B．we are afraid of trying new things
    C．it’s common for people to make mistakes
    D．mistakes are better than not trying
    小题2:The underlined word “eliminate” means _______．
    A．avoid B．remove C．accept D．solve
    小题3:According to the article, one thing you should pay attention to about making mistakes is   ．
    A．avoiding making the same mistakes
    B．accepting the punishment willingly
    C．taking consequences into account
    D．trying things out one by one
    小题4:What would the writer probably suggest we say to ourselves when we make a mistake?
    A．Never mind, I can always try again．
    B．I’d better stay out of trouble．
    C．Ok! Now I can learn something．
    D．Look at this mess． Anyone would be upset．

                                         B
    People come in all shapes and sizes，colors and races (种族). Some speak differently while others act differently.
    My mother is in a wheelchair. I would like to say something about this special woman I call "Mommy".
    My mom does what a mom needs to do every day. She picks me up from school，drives me to meetings，cooks dinner，and helps me with my homework. This is just part of what makes her great，though.
    She is my best friend and can immediately notice when I am unhappy. She helps me solve problems that my friends do not understand. Mommy makes me laugh when times are tough. I look forward to coming home because I know there is someone there who cares about what I have done.
    Mommy has always tried to be like a "normal" mom. But I think my mother is a wonderful woman and she doesn’t need to change. She teaches me life lessons that no teacher or friend can. She shows me how to accept everyone for what is inside，rather than what is on the outside.
    You may have realized that all the qualities (品质) I admire have nothing to do with what she looks like. Everyone could be the way she is，but most are not.
    I want everyone to look beyond the surface and see what is inside others. You may fail to notice someone who is very special like my mom because you cannot accept their outside features.

    When the lazy days of summer arrive and the schedule is packed with swimming，camp，and family vacations，it can be a challenge to find time for learning. But kids’ reading skills don’t have to grow cold once school’s out. Here are some ways to make reading a natural part of their summer fun.
    Explore your library. Visit your local library to check out books and magazines that your kids haven’t seen before. Many libraries have summer reading programs，book clubs，and reading contests for even the youngest borrowers. With a new library card，a child will feel extra grown­up checking out books.
    Read on the road. Going on a long car trip？Make sure the back seat is stocked with favorite reads. When you’re not at the wheel，read the books aloud. Get some audiobooks (many libraries have large selections)and listen to them together during driving time.
    Make your own books. Pick one of your family’s favorite parts of summer—whether it’s baseball，ice cream，or the pool—and have your child draw pictures of it or cut out pictures from magazines. Stick the pictures onto paper to make a booklet and write text for it. When you’re done，read the book together. Reread it whenever you like!
    Keep in touch. Kids don’t have to go away to write about summer vacation. Even if your family stays home，they can send postcards to tell friends and relatives about their adventures. Ask a relative to be your child’s pen pal and encourage them to write each week.
    Keep up the reading habits. Even if everything else changes during the summer，keep up the reading routines around your house. Read with your kids every day—whether it’s just before bedtime or under a shady tree on a lazy afternoon. And don’t forget to take a book to the beach！Just　brush　the sand off the pages—it’s no sweat!
    小题1:The purpose of the passage is to________.
    A．encourage parents to read
    B．give advice on raising kids
    C．raise a good summer reader
    D．suggest places for vacations
    小题2:If you drive on a long trip in summer，you can ________.
    A．visit the local library and join book clubs
    B．borrow some audiobooks to listen to
    C．keep in touch with friends by sending postcards
    D．read your own picture books with your son
    小题3:By saying “Just brush the sand off the pages—it’s no sweat”，the author means ________.
    A．taking away the sand on the book is very difficult
    B．a special book is needed when you’re reading on the beach
    C．one can remove the sand on the book with a brush easily
    D．there’s no trouble reading even on the beach
    小题4:Who are the intended readers of the passage?
    A．Parents.B．Students.
    C．Teachers.D．Editors.

    Moving to a new town or even a new neighborhood is stressful at any age, but a new study shows that frequent moves in childhood are related to poorer well-being(幸福) in adulthood, especially among people who are more introverted(内向的) or neurotic(神经症的).
    The researchers tested the relationship between the number of childhood moves and well-being in a sample of 7108 American adults who were followed for 10 years.
    “We know that children who move frequently are more likely to perform poorly in school and have more behavioral problems,” said the study’s lead author Shigehiro Oishi. “However, the long-term effects of moving on well-being in adulthood have been overlooked by researchers.”
    The study’s participants, who were between the ages of 20 and 75, were contacted in 1994 and 1995 and were surveyed again 10 years later. They were asked how many times they had moved as children, as well as about their psychological well-being, personality type and social relationships.
    The researchers found that the more times people moved as children, the more likely they were to report lower life satisfaction and psychological well-being at the time they were surveyed. The research also showed that those who moved frequently as children had fewer quality social relationships as adults.
    The researchers also looked to see if different personality types affected frequent movers’ well-being. Among introverts, the more moves participants reported as children, the worse off they were as adults. “Moving a lot makes it difficult for people to keep long-term close relationships.” Said Oishi. “This might not be a serious problem for outgoing people who can make friends quickly and easily.”
    The findings showed neurotic people who moved frequently reported less life satisfaction and poorer psychological well-being than people who did not move as much and people who were not neurotic. However, the number and quality of neurotic people’s relationships had no effect on their well-being, no matter how often they had moved as children. In the article, Oishi thinks this may be because neurotic people have more negative reactions to stressful life events in general.
    “We can guess that moving often creates more stress,” Oishi said. “But we need more research on this link before we can conclude that moving often in childhood can, in fact, be dangerous to your health in the long-term.”
    小题1:What can be learnt about the new study from the passage?
    A．The participants were from all over the world.
    B．It was carried out in two periods of time.
    C．The participants were mostly old people.
    D．The participants had poor health.
    小题2:What is the purpose of the study?
    A．To show the relationship between moving and performance in school
    B．To show the relationship between moving and well-being
    C．To investigate Americans’ well-being in general
    D．To research the personality types of Americans
    小题3:According to Oishi,            .
    A．moving a lot is a serious problem for outgoing people
    B．moving probably makes some people feel worried and tense
    C．moving frequently is likely to help people make more friends
    D．moving often is dangerous to people’s health in the long-term
    小题4:The fifth and sixth paragraphs mainly talk about             .
    A．the process of the study
    B．the results of the study
    C．the importance of the study
    D．the theory of the study
