Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a “ telepresence” system (远程遥控系统) — allowing users to control the heating and locks, and receive education, health care and government services. Around the city, escalators (自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system. The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business. About 75% of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be smarter to deal with the coming problems.” Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener, said Dan Hill, head of a research company. 46.

He wanted to share his love of reading with his community, so he decided to turn his home into a library. At first, his family objected. But he talked with them and finally they agreed to support him. His library began in 2000, with a collection of a- round 100 of his own books. He simply put the books outside his front door to see whether people wanted to borrow them. As a result, people borrowed and returned them. Surprisingly, they also began to give away other books to the collection. Some young men even helped to clean up the library and the books. Today the library has grown to two million books. Known as the Reading Club 2000, the library is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. People find the library does not have member cards and no identification (认证) is needed when they want to take a book. There’s also no limit (限制) on the number of books, when or whether they’re returned. Nanie encourages the sharing of books and believes that people can do things better by reading different books. Those who have no enough money to buy books are very excited because they can read as many books as possible. More and more people are interested in this library and they have learned a lot from the books. Nanie knows that, so he will never stop. 50. What does the underlined word “objected” mean in the first paragraph (段落)? A. Disagreed. B. Supported. C. Spread. D. Decided. 51.

A. is the same as other libraries B. opens 24 hours, 6 days a week C. is able to help poor readers D. can provide any book people want 【答案】50. A 51. D 52. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了Nanie将自己的家改造成一个24小时开放的图书馆，名为Reading Club 2000，鼓励社区居民免费借阅和分享书籍的故事。 【50题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上下文“At first, his family objected. But he talked with them and finally they agreed to support him.”可知，起初他的家人反对，但经过沟通后，他们最终同意支持他。因此，objected的意思是“反对”，故选A。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中“People find the library does not have member cards and no identification (认证) is needed when they want to take a book. There’s also no limit (限制) on the number of books, when or whether they’re returned.”可知，想借书的人可以直接拿走书，不需要会员卡或其他认证，故选D。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中“Those who have no enough money to buy books are very excited because they can read as many books as possible.”可知，Nanie的图书馆能够帮助那些没有足够钱买书的读者，故选C。 F Tea, coffee and cocoa are three major drinks all over the world. Tea is drunk by the largest number of people in the world. Tea, as well as silk and porcelain(瓷器), began to be known by the world over a thousand years ago and has been an important Chinese export since then. Tea has a history of over 4, 000 years and China is the home of tea. In ancient China, tea was used as a kind of medicine, while nowadays people drink tea daily. Longjing, Pu’er, Wu long and Tieguanyin are all famous tea. Thanks to the mild climate and rich soil in Fujian, Zhejiang and Yunnan, tea is produced mainly in these provinces. The word for tea in different languages came from Chinese, like “cha’I” in Russian. And the Japanese character for tea is written exactly the same as it is in Chinese. Over the past centuries, Chinese people have developed their unique tea culture, which includes tea planting, tea-leaf picking, tea making and tea drinking. Tea is also popular in some sayings, like “A friendship between gentlemen is like a cup of tea.” In dances, songs, poems and novels, tea is often mentioned, too. 53. How long does the history of tea?

It’s the sixth largest country in area after Russia, Canada, China, the United States and Brazil. The country is young, but the continent is one of the oldest lands in the world. It is more than 3,000 million years old. and it is the flattest of the continents. There are rain forests and large plains (平原) in the north, snowfields in the southeast, deserts in the centre and croplands in the east, south and southwest. About one third of the country lies in the tropics (热带地区). Australia has a coastline of 36,735 km. If you keep driving along the whole coast at 60 km/h, it will take about 25 days to complete the trip. Because of its special geographic features, many animals and plants which people can’t see in other countries live in this beautiful country. The population of Australia is more than 20 million. Most of the Australians live along the eastern seaboard and the southeastern corner of the contınent, because the weather there is nice for people to live and work, Australia is also one of the world’s most urbanized (城市化的) countries, because there are about 70% of the Australians living in ten largest cities in the country and they have a high standard of living. 43. Australia is a country that ________. A. has an area of about 7.8 million square kilometres B. has a larger area than China’s C. has a population of nearly 14 million D. lies in an ancient land 44.

D Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self- driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a “smart” city like this could happen sooner than you think. Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a “ telepresence” system (远程遥控系统) — allowing users to control the heating and locks, and receive education, health care and government services. Around the city, escalators (自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system. The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business. About 75% of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be smarter to deal with the coming problems.” Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener, said Dan Hill, head of a research company. 46.

But he talked with them and finally they agreed to support him. His library began in 2000, with a collection of a- round 100 of his own books. He simply put the books outside his front door to see whether people wanted to borrow them. As a result, people borrowed and returned them. Surprisingly, they also began to give away other books to the collection. Some young men even helped to clean up the library and the books. Today the library has grown to two million books. Known as the Reading Club 2000, the library is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. People find the library does not have member cards and no identification (认证) is needed when they want to take a book. There’s also no limit (限制) on the number of books, when or whether they’re returned. Nanie encourages the sharing of books and believes that people can do things better by reading different books.

Tea is drunk by the largest number of people in the world. Tea, as well as silk and porcelain(瓷器), began to be known by the world over a thousand years ago and has been an important Chinese export since then. Tea has a history of over 4, 000 years and China is the home of tea. In ancient China, tea was used as a kind of medicine, while nowadays people drink tea daily. Longjing, Pu’er, Wu long and Tieguanyin are all famous tea. Thanks to the mild climate and rich soil in Fujian, Zhejiang and Yunnan, tea is produced mainly in these provinces. The word for tea in different languages came from Chinese like “cha’I” in Russian. And the Japanese character for tea is written exactly the same as it is in Chinese. Over the past centuries, Chinese people have developed their unique tea culture, which includes tea planting, tea-leaf picking, tea making and tea drinking. Tea is also popular in some sayings, like “A friendship between gentlemen is like a cup of tea.” In dances, songs, poems and novels, tea is often mentioned, too. 53. How long does the history of tea?
