Ⅲ.阅读理解
My house is made out of wood, glass and stone. It is also made out of software. If you come to visit, you'll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN(个人身份号码) to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When it's dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them.
Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings. Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console (控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you.
The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console. I believe that ten years from now, most new homes will have the systems that I've put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I've put in today.
I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, “How will I live without them？”

A．How to develop a new system.
B．The function of the PIN.
C．A home for the future.
D．Easy life in the future.

2．What's the purpose when the writer writes the third paragraph?
A．To let readers know why his ideas are new.
B．To let readers know how special his house is.
C．To explain the importance of the PIN and the console.
D．To explain more easily what the functions of the PIN and the console are.
答案：D 文章第三段详细介绍了PIN和房屋控制台的使用和功能，故选D项。
3．The writer's new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because ________.
A．it has been controlled by computers
B．you can make a telephone call anywhere
C．it has your favorite music following you
D．the writer is able to change his new idea into practice
答案：A 由文章首段第二、三两句可知作者的房屋是由系统软件控制的，人进入时必须输入密码才行。
4．What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage?
A．An IT expert.
B．A famous doctor.
C．An idealist (理想主义者)
D．An experienced teacher.
答案：A 由文章最后一段可知，作者本身是从事IT行业的人员，对高新和前端电脑技术很了解。

1．______ 2.______ 3.______ 4.______ 5.______
6．______ 7.______ 8.______ 9.______ 10.______
答案：
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文，讲的是体育锻炼不仅能让我们强身健体，而且能让我们精力充沛，与同事和谐相处，提高工作效率。
1．have discovered 考查时态。本句中的时间状语“over the past decade”表明该句应用现在完成时。
2．on 考查介词。名词impact与介词on连用，表示“对……的影响”。
3．can 考查情态动词。研究表明，把经常性的锻炼纳入日常生活中能提高注意力，增强记忆力，帮助减少压力。can“能，会”，符合语境。
4．suggesting 考查非谓语动词。动词suggest与其逻辑主语evidence是主谓关系，因此用现在分词作后置定语。
5．researchers 考查名词。本句缺主语，故填research的名词形式。依据下一句中的“They found”可知，这里应用复数形式，指研究人员让这些员工报告自己的表现。
6．when/after 考查连词。分析句子结构可知，此处指当员工参加锻炼时或参加锻炼后，故填when或after。
7．They 考查代词。根据上文中的“over 200 employees...selfreport...”可知，这里指这些被调查的员工报告说，故用They。
8．However 考查副词。根据下文中的“many of us can't take exercise regularly”可知前后文在内容上形成对比，且空后有逗号，故此处应用However。
9．what 考查主语从句。分析句子结构及语境可知，空处引导主语从句且作动词mean的宾语，故what“什么，所……的”符合语境。
10．started/should start 考查固定句式。在It is time(that)．..的句式中，that后面的从句用“主语＋did/should do...”结构，其中不能省略should。
