M:Hey, Linda, did you get that letter about the new options for food service next year?
W:Not yet, are there a lot of changes?
M:There sure are. Instead of paying one fee to cover all meals for the whole school year, we are now able to choose how many meals a week we want and can contract just for that amount. We still have to pay the whole year at the beginning, but we can choose to buy seven, ten, fourteen or twentyone meals per week. They give you a card with the number of meals you get each week marked on it.
W:That’s a big change, Tom, and a complicated system.
M:Yeah, but it will be much better for people who don’t eat three meals a day, seven days a week in the cafeteria because they don’t have to pay for meals they don’t eat.
第一部分
目录
W:So what’s the deal for those who do eat at school all the time?
M:It’s better for them too, because the more meals you contract for, the cheaper each one is.
W:I see. It still sounds rather complicated.
M:True. It took me several hours to figure it out. I decided to go with the tenmeal plan.
W:Why is that?
M:Well, I never eat breakfast and I often go away on weekends. So the tenmeal plan gives me lunch and dinner every weekday at a fairly low price. And I won’t be paying for meals I don’t usually eat.

Right, women’s positions in the United States have changed. In the past, in many families in the United States, the husband had a job and supported his family. His wife worked at home doing the cooking, the washing, and the housecleaning and raising the children. After World War Ⅱ, it became necessary for more women to find work outside the home in order to make more money. But women were expected to accept jobs that did not pay very much money. This was because women had not received enough education when they were young. It was also because many believed that women could not do things as well as men. In those days women were to make their husbands happy by running a comfortable home.

THE TIME MACHINE
It was at ten o’clock today that the first of all Time Machines began its career. I gave it a last check, and sat myself in the leather seat. I pushed the starting lever (操纵杆) on the main panel forwards an inch then immediately backwards again. Looking around, I saw my laboratory exactly as before. Had anything happened? I thought my mind had tricked me. Then I saw the clock. A moment before, it was a minute or so past ten; now it nearly half past three!
I drew a breath, gripped (紧握) the lever and pushed it forwards. The laboratory went hazy around me. My niece came in to fetch something, maybe her handkerchief, apparently without seeing me. It probably took her a minute, but to me she moved like a rocket! I pushed the lever further. Night came as if a lamp was being turned out, and in another moment came the day. Tomorrow night came, then skipped to day, again and again, faster and faster still.

It is hard to explain the strange and unpleasant feeling of time travelling. It felt like I was being driven fast on a winding road. As my pace grew faster, the walls of the laboratory fell away, and I was left in the open air. The sun and the moon looked as if they were being thrown across the sky, but soon there was division between night and day. Around me I saw trees growing like puffs of smoke; they grew, spread, and died in moments. I saw huge buildings rise up, then disappear like in a dream. The whole surface of the earth was being changed, melting and flowing before my eyes. I calculated that I was being pushed through time at hundreds of years a minute.

35
I had a strong urge to look at the random things that were being flashed before my eyes! I had thought about the risk of stopping the Time Machine many times. So long as I travelled at maximum speed, it didn’t matter. But if I stopped and the same space was being occupied by something else, we would be forced together and explode like a bomb! Like an impatient fool, I pulled the lever backwards hard. With a sudden jolt, the Time Machine was flipped on its side, and I was thrown through the air.
I was stunned for a moment, and then heard the sound of thunder. I was sitting in the rain in some mud next to the machine. “A fine welcome,” I said, “for a man who has travelled thousands of years to be here!”

For the last month, a married couple has been interacting with a robot called an Avatar—that’s controlled by their daughter hundreds of miles away. Made by ANA Holdings Inc., it looks like a cleaner with an iPad attached. But the screen displays the daughter’s face as they chat, and its wheels let her move slowly about the house as though she’s really there.
“Virtual travel” is nothing new, of course. Storytellers, travel writers and artists have been stimulating (刺激) the sense of armchair tourists for centuries. It’s only in recent decades that frequent, safe travel has become available to the nonwealthy.
第二部分
目录
42
Yet even as the world’s middle classes climb out of the armchair and into economyclass seats, there are signs of a posttravel society coming into being. Concerns about sustainability (可持续发展) are having a negative influence on carbonintensive airlines. And the aging of wealthy societies is both slowing down physical travel and creating demand for various ways to experience the world. For the travel industry, virtual (虚拟的) reality offers an attractive response to these trend.
Of course, farout technologies encourage farout claims. ANA doesn’t plan to start selling Avatars until next year. Profits, too, will probably be difficult to achieve. According to one investigation, the global market for this kind of technology will be worth only about $300 million by 2023. By contrast, ANA’s traditional travel business brought in more than $19 billion last year.
第二部分
目录
43
But if the business case for virtual vacations is still weak, the market for technologies that bridge physical distances between families and coworkers seems likely to only expand. ANA’s robots may not replace its airplanes any time soon, but they’ll almost certainly be a part of travel’s hightech future.

28.What is the purpose of mentioning “Avatar” in Paragraph 1?
A.To display how people travel with the robot “Avatar”.
B.To introduce a new service offered by Japan’s biggest airline.
C.To lead in the topic of virtual travel by providing a vivid scene.
D.To describe what the robot “Avatar” looks like and how it works.
答案: C 推理判断题。第一段描述了一对夫妇与一个由女儿在好几百英里之外操控的称作Avatar的机器人互动的情景,从而引出下文“Virtual travel”的话题。由此可推知,在第一段中提到“Avatar”是为了通过提供一个生动的场景来引入虚拟旅行的话题。故选C。
答案

29.It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that people’s choice of virtual travel may be the result of ________.
A.the demand for safe travel
B.wealthy people’s growing old
C.worries about lowcarbon airlines
D.the support of advanced technologies
答案: B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“And the aging of wealthy societies is both slowing down physical travel and creating demand for various ways to experience the world. For the travel industry, virtual (虚拟的) reality offers an attractive response to these trend.”可知,富裕群体的老龄化不仅使人们身体力行的旅行减少了,也催生了人们对各种体验世界方式的需求。对旅游行业来说,虚拟现实为这些趋势提供了一个有吸引力的回应。由此推知,人们选择虚拟旅行可能是富人变老的结果。故选B。

30.What does the writer mean by saying “farout technologies encourage farout claims”?
A.Traditional travel business is not profitable.
B.Global market for virtual travels is hard to predict.
C.The time is ripe for selling Avatars in term of technology.
D.Virtual travels will take the place of traditional ones very soon.
答案: B 句意理解题。根据画线句处本段其余内容可知,ANA到明年才计划开始销售Avatars。利润也可能难以实现。根据一项调查,到2023年,这种技术的全球市场价值将仅为3亿美元左右。相比之下,ANA的传统旅游业务去年带来了超过190亿美元的收入。由此推知,画线句意为“虚拟旅行的全球市场很难预测”。故选B。

31.What’s the writer’s attitude to virtual technology?

Two years ago, my 11yearold son sat me down for a talk. “Mom, it’s time.” he said. “Hear me out: It’s time we got actual TV. And you need an iPhone.”
This funny conversation two years ago marked a shift in our relationship. Perhaps for the first time, I began to really listen to my son’s opinion about our home technology. Since his reasoning was sensible and his suggestions within budget, I took his advice and was pleasantly surprised with the results.
I’d known for a while that my son understands technology better than I do. On airplanes, he grabbed my phone to put it in airplane mode. He wired the speakers in our house. After something was stolen from our front yard, he picked out, set up, and now monitors our security camera. When my computer died, I took him shopping with me.

As a teenager now, he has a busy social life, with skateboarding, basketball, and online gaming with his friends. I see our time together decreasing and our shared interests shrinking. That’s why I jumped at the chance when a friend mentioned writing technology reviews. I’m a writer, but I’d need a partner who has more tech knowledge than me. When I presented the idea to my teen, he immediately accepted.
It’s changed our relationship in surprising ways. Where he used to get annoyed quickly at my technical ignorance, he’s learned to be more patient and explain things to me in a way that I can convey to an unknowing audience. The parentchild dynamic is not only changed; it’s even slightly reversed—he’s leading me. I’m asking him for help and advice. My son has risen to the occasion. He’s taking it seriously, and to watch him mature in this way is an honor. As someone who’s not much of a reader, he now searches instruction book. Without any prompting, he’s even emailed and called, yes, made an actual phone call to customer service or tech support when sample products weren’t working as expected.

C.Giving examples of her son’s interest in airplanes.
D.Expressing her satisfaction of her son’s timely help.
答案:A 段落大意题。根据第三段的中心句“I’d known ... than I do.”可知,作者早就知道儿子比自己更懂技术,由此可知,本段主要证明了作者的儿子对技术更加精通。故选A。

34.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “reversed” in Paragraph 5?
A.Unrealistic. B.Opposite.
C.Negative. D.Common.
答案:B 词义猜测题。根据画线词后“he’s leading me(他在引导我)”并根据常识可知,作为母亲,作者应该是儿子的导师,给儿子指导,而现在儿子在引导作者,由此可推知,这里表达的是亲子关系的反转,reversed意为“颠倒的,相反的”,与opposite (相反的)意思相近。故选B。

B.Her son’s attitudes to some unknown audiences.

The history of writing instruments, with which humans have recorded and conveyed thoughts and feelings, is the history of civilization itself. This is how we know about our ancestors and their life.
The handy sharpenedstone was adapted into the first writing instrument. Around 24000 BC, the cave man started drawing pictures with the stone onto the walls of his cave. __36__ Walls at the Apollo site in Namibia are believed to be the oldest rock paintings to date.

Before paper came along, people used clay or wax tablets on which they wrote with sharp objects such as metal sticks or bones. Around 6,000 years ago, the Egyptians invented the first paperlike material called papyrus. The word “paper” actually comes from the word “papyrus”.
__37__ Bones or metal sticks were no longer useful as the papyrus could not be scratched. So the Egyptians created a reedpen perfect for the papyrus. __38__ And thus, ancient Egyptians transformed bamboo stems (茎) into an early form of a fountain pen.
Another writing instrument that remained active in history for a long period was the quill (鹅毛) pen. Introduced around 700 AD, the quill was a pen made from a bird feather. Goose feathers were most common. __39__ For making fine line drawings, crow feathers were the best.

China in 100 Years
I frequently dream about life in China in one hundred years.
In the future, people will probably invent more robots to do all kinds of things for them. For example, by using robots, it is not necessary for people to do housework and can save more time to enjoy themselves. Besides, almost everyone wants to fly into the sky, which will possibly come true in one hundred years. What’s more, people may go to work or travel by private spaceship. It is very convenient and there is no need to worry about the traffic jam.
I believe it will be more prosperous.

Sara Savick remembers one special Easter when she was nine years old. Her parents gave her a baby duckling in a yellow basket.
“Mom said later that she bought the little duck because she felt sorry for it,” recalled Sara. The people at the pet store colored the feathers pink for Easter. Sara named the duck Pinky.
Sara’s mother really didn’t think the baby duck would survive very long. But to her surprise, Pinky grew and got stronger and stronger. Soon, the little duckling was a healthy, hungry duck with white feathers.

“We fed Pinky oatmeal, cooked and uncooked, and small pieces of vegetables,” said Sara. Pinky lived inside the house with Sara and her family. She specially fancied taking baths with Sara. Everyone treated Pinky as a family member.
But just when everything appeared to be perfect, the night of the “talk” came. Sara’s Mom and Dad sat her down, explaining that the best thing for Pinky was to live a normal duck life, with other ducks. It was not natural for ducks to live indoors with a family, her father told her. He added Pinky needed to swim in ponds and do all the same things that ducks in the wild do.
Sara started to cry, knowing what was going to happen. Sara’s parents decided to take Pinky to a park, which was two miles away. There was a pond with a lot of other ducks. Pinky would have the chance to live a natural life and Sara could still visit her.

The big day came, Sara and her parents put Pinky in a box and drove to the park. Sara said that Pinky did not look happy; maybe Pinky was convinced that she was a human, not a duck.

Everyone was sad when they left Pinky at the pond, even Sara’s father. But he tried to convince Sara that Pinky was fine. Walking towards the car, Sara looked over her shoulder and saw Pinky standing alone. The other ducks were swimming around in circles, looking at Pinky. To Sara, it seemed that they were trying to identify the strange animal. They didn’t recognize Pinky as a duck. Worried about Pinky, Sara dreamed of Pinky being bullied by other ducks the whole night.

The next morning, when looking out of the kitchen window, Sara couldn’t believe her eyes! There was Pinky, happily walking around on the grass. Thrilled at what she saw, she kept asking herself, “How did she make it?” After all, it was two miles away and he managed to walk back through the city street. Incredible! But her parents drove Pinky back to the pond again regardless of her request. The following morning, there was Pinky again on the grass! Seeing Pinky again, her father, waving his arms about wildly, moved his lips without saying anything. Meanwhile, Sarah, overjoyed, hugged Pinky tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks.
