A
It’s 2035. You have a job, a family and you're about 40 years old! Welcome to your
future life. Getting ready for work, you pause in front of the mirror．“Turn red,” you say. Your
shirt changes from sky blue to deep red. Tiny preprogrammed electronics ( 智能电子元件)
are rear-ranged in your shirt to change its color. Looking into the mirror，you find it hard to
believe you’re 40. You look much younger.
With amazing advances in medicine, people in your generation may live to be 150
years old. You’re not even middle-aged! As you go into the kitchen and prepare to pour your
breakfast cereal into a bowl, you hear, “To lose weight, you shouldn’t eat that.” from your
shoes. They read the tiny electronic code ( 电 子 源 码 ) on the cereal box to find out the
nutrition details. You decide to listen to your shoes. “Kitchen, what can I have for breakfast?”
A list of possible foods appears on the counter as the kitchen checks its food supplies.
“Ready for your trip to space?” you ask your son and daughter. In 2005 only specially
trained astronauts went into space and very few of them. Today anyone can go to space for
day trips or longer vacations. Your best friend even works in space. Handing your children
three strawberries each, you add, “The doctor said you need these for space travel. ” Thanks
to medical advances, vaccination shots(防疫针)are a thing of the past. Ordinary foods contain
specific vaccines. With the berries in their mouths, the kids head for the front door.
It’s time for you to go to work. Your car checks your fingerprints and unlocks the doors.
“My office. Autopilot! ” you command. Your car drives itself down the road and moves
smoothly into traffic on the highway. You sit back and unroll your e-newspaper. The latest
news downloads and fills the viewer. Looking through the pages, you watch the news as
video films rather than read it.

Canada---The True North"'
In 1867 when Canada was created, a towering Silver Maple tree standing in front of
Alexander Muir's house in Toronto gave him an idea. He would write a poem and a song
about the great tree, so common in Canada and so symbolic, to celebrate Canada's
Confederation(联邦).
His song was called The Maple Leaf Forever and it has been the unofficial Canadian
anthem(国歌) to this day.
Last July during a major storm, the tree was knocked down. It fell across a house and a
street. But because it was an important historic tree, most of the wood was saved rather than
being destroyed.
Recently woodworkers at The Evergreen Brick Works in Toronto, a community
projects centre, cut the wood into logs and other usable pieces. The pieces were given to
artists to create about 150 different projects.
One artist took a piece of tree. On it, he'll carve (雕刻) a series of historical Canadian
scenes. Another wood carver is making beautiful round wooden bowls. Yet another made an
interesting candlestick from the tree's branches.
Other woodworkers are making wood wig stands(假发架)for cancer patients who lose
their hair. Still others are taking small pieces of wood and making them into pens. And some
of the wood was made into gavels (小木槌)to be used by Toronto' s city councilors(市议员).
Some of the projects will be on public show while some will be personally owned. The people in Toronto who lived near the tree for years and tried to protect it from harm
were very sad to see the old tree go. But they are glad to see that their maple tree will live
forever in the hearts and homes of many people.
5. Why did Alexander write The Maple Leaf Forever？
A. To celebrate the birth of Canada.
B. To express his love for the maple tree.
C To go with his poem.
D. To memorize the maple tree.
6. Why was the wood of the tree kept by many people?
A. The tree has practical value.
B. They used it to honour Alexander Muir.
C. They thought the tree was publicly owned.
D. The tree was closely tied to Canadian history.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. Maple Tree in Toronto B. Projects of Maple Tree
C. Maple Tree Will Live Forever D. A Fallen Maple Tree was saved
C
A bargain is something offered at a low and advantageous price. A more recent
definition is: a bargain is a dirty trick to force money out of the pockets of silly and innocent
people.
The cost of producing a new, for example, toothpaste would make 80pence the proper
price for it, so we will market it at £1.20. It is not a bad toothpaste, and as people like to try
new things, it will sell well to start with; but the attraction of novelty soon fades, so sales will
fall. When that happens we will reduce the price to £1.15. And we will turn it into a bargain
by printing 5pence OFF all over it.
Sometimes it is not 5pence OFF but 1pence OFF. What breathtaking rudeness to
advertise 1pence OFF your soap or washing powder or whatever! Even the poorest old-age
pensioner ought to regard this as an insult ( 侮 辱 ), but he doesn’t. A bargain must not be
missed. People say one has to have washing powder (or whatever) and one might as well buy
it a penny cheaper. The real danger starts when unnecessary things become ‘bargains’. Many people just
cannot resist bargains. Provided they think they are getting a bargain they will buy clothes
they will never wear or furniture they have no space for. Once I heard of a man who bought
an electric saw (电锯) as a bargain and cut off two of his fingers the next day. But he had no
regrets: the saw had been truly cheap.
Quite a few people actually believe that they make money on such bargains. A lady once
told me: “I’ve had a lucky day today. I bought a dress for £120, reduced from £400; and I
bought a beautiful Persian carpet for £600, reduced from £900.” It will never occur to her that
she has actually wasted £720. She feels as though she had made £580. She also feels, I am
sure, that if she had more time for shopping, she could make a living out of it.
Some people buy in large quantities because it is cheaper. Once a couple bought enough
sugar for their lifetime and the lifetime of their children and grandchildren. They thought it a
bargain not to be missed. When the sugar arrived they didn’t know where to store it –– until
they realized that their toilet was a very spacious one. So that was where they piled up their
sugar. Not only did their guests feel rather strange whenever they were offered sugar to put
into their coffee, but the toilet became extremely sticky.
To offer bargains is a commercial trick to make the poor poorer. When greedy fools fall
for this trick, it serves them right.
8. Which word best describes the language style of the passage?
A. polite. B. foolish. C. serious. D. humorous.
9. How does the author feel about 1pence OFF a product?
A. It’s a gift for poor people.
B. It’s an insult to shoppers.
C. It’s a bargain worth trying.
D. It’s a real reduction in price.
10. Which statement will the author probably agree with?
A. Bargains are things people don’t really need.
B. Bargains are often really cheap products.
C. Bargains help people make a living.
D. Bargains play tricks on people.七选五（每小题 2 分，共 10 分）
