C1 Matt Mason has seen the future―and it’s fun. Mason likes thinking about how machines can make our lives easier by doing the work we hate, such as cleaning. He shows a hard floor cleaning system（系统）that’s built into the wall: it will blow dirt to a part of the room where it will be collected by a vacuum（吸尘器）. Then the system will drop some cleaner on the floor and an arm will mop（用拖把擦）it up. DThis may trouble you,‖ says Kara, an expert in Mason’s company. DBut you can program it to come on at 3 a. m., and it will just wet-mop the floor for you.‖ When it comes to the kitchen, Bruce Beihoff, another expert at Whirlpool, is sure that in a few years, robots will be doing most of the boring work, freeing us to relax. DMore than just fun, future kitchens will be environmentally friendly,‖ he says. DA new system will be built in the house which can recycle energy（能量）lost from your kitchen to make the whole home warm.‖ DThe fridge will be the center of the home,‖ says Daniel Lee, a market expert. The fridge will have a touch screen （触摸屏幕）where you can watch TV, surf the Internet, check your e-mail, keep a shopping list and order vegetables. DYour fridge is the first place you go in the morning and the last place at night,‖ says Lee. Ever wonder why a 1.9-meter man and a 1.6-meter woman have to cook meals on counters（工作台）of the same height. DThe height was decided over 50 years ago, according to the height of ordinary women,‖ says Jane Langmuir, an expert of cooking machines. DBut times have changed. We have made a new counter where you press a button and it moves to whatever height you want.‖ At the same time, Ted Selker at MIT’s Counter lab has made the Dishmaker which lets you make dishes and bowls out of plastics at home. After each meal, the dishes are changed straight back into plastics. 57. How many inventions are mentioned in the passage?

60. A C2 Each year Ben is glad when school is closed on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Ben knows that this day honors an important man, but Ben does not feel connected to him. However, the small-world theory (理论) connects Ben to Dr. King. Ben’s mom (0) has a close friend, Amy (1). Amy’s uncle, Mark (2), once met and spoke to John Carter (3), the son of President Jimmy Carter (4). Jimmy Carter knew Dr. King (5). In a way, Ben is only Dfive people away‖ from Martin Luther King Jr. The small-world theory says that everyone in the world is connected through a short chain (链条) of people they know. Another name of this chain is degrees of separation. Each degree is a step that separates a person from someone he or she does not know. There are zero degrees of separation between a person and the people he or she knows directly. This means that there are zero degrees between Ben and his mom. There is one degree of separation when just one person separates someone from a person he or she does not know. Ben knows his mom, but he hasn’t met her close friend Amy. Therefore, Ben is one degree away from Amy. As the chain continues, Amy’s uncle, Mark, is two degrees. John Carter is three degrees, and his father is four degrees. Dr. King is five degrees away from Ben. The theory says that there are no more than six degrees of separation between any two people in the world. The small-world theory has a lot to do with math. The theory assumes (假定) that each person knows 100 people. Each one of those 100 people knows 50 different people. Each of those 50 people knows another 50 people, and so on. When someone continues the calculation to six degrees, it is like this: 100 × 50 × 50 × 50 × 50 × 50 = 31.25 × 10. This number is greater than 31 billion (a billion = a thousand million). There are over 6 billion people in the world. These numbers show it is possible that six degrees of separation could include everyone in the world. Does the small-world theory work? No one has ever proved it. Maybe the theory just invites people to think a little more about their places in the world. 8. Ben is two degrees away from ________.
A. Jimmy Carter
B. John Carter
D. Mark 9. What is the meaning of Ddegrees of separation‖ in Paragraph 2?
A. The chain to connect people.
B. The relations between people. 9
C. The steps of knowing strangers.
D. The separation between strangers. 10. What is the small-world theory mainly about?
A. How far Ben is away from Dr. King.
C. How people are connected in the world. 11. We can learn from the article that ________.
A. the small-world theory works
B. more research is needed to prove the theory
C. six degrees are needed to know the strangers
D. the writer’s purpose is to help people find out their places 8. D
11. B C3 Many textbooks are not written in the kind of English that we speak every day. In fact, sometimes the reading is so difficult that it almost seems like a foreign language. In a way, it is the language of science. You should not expect to be able to read a difficult science passage the same way you read
you should not expect to read it easily and all at once. Instead, you may have to read it several times through, catching on the meaning of difficult words, going back over difficult sentences, and finally putting the whole thing together. Do not be discourages if the whole passage don’t make sense
B. How many people one can get to know. D. How the degrees of separation are set up. to you at first. You need to pick it apart patiently until you can understand it. These are the steps to follow when you are reading something difficult: ? 1. Start to read normally until you run into a sentence that doesn’t make sense to you. ? 2. When a sentence doesn’t make sense, go back and read it again more slowly. ? 3. Look for any word you don’t know in the sentence. Try to understand their meanings using word parts and context clues(上下文线索). If necessary, look them up in the dictionary. ? 4. Look at the next few sentences to see if they explain more about the sentence you are working on. Do not read very much farther ahead until you understand what is being said. ? 5. Finally, read the sentence again. Try to put it into simpler words. ? 6. Read through the passage once. Try to understand all the hard parts well. Then read the whole passage once more at a usual speed. This helps you to put all ideas together. The stops sound a lot harder than they are. It is really just the normal way good readers understand anything that is difficult to read. After you have done the best you can this way, you should always feel free to ask for help from your teacher, if you have one. 54. The underlined phrase Drun into‖ means ________.
A. work out
B. come across
C. look into
D. pass by 55. From the passage, we can know ________.

56. C C4 What do you do if you’re stranded （处于困境的）on a lonely island? Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of Body signals（信号）. Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means Dyes‖. When you point downwards and swing your arm from side to side, it means Dno‖. If you want the pilot to know that it’s safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend（弯曲）your knees. If you want to say that it’s not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side. Smoke signals The smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it’s a good way to draw attention. If the weather is dry, it isn’t hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control. Never light a fire unless you’re sure that it can’t spread. .If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke. Ground-to-air signals It’s a good idea to build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols（标记）. If you can’t find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are: F
DI need food and water‖. II
DI need medicine‖. I
DI am badly hurt‖. X
DI am unable to move from here.‖ Pilots’ replies If the pilot lowers the plane’s wings from side to side, this means Dmessage received and understood‖（At night, the pilot flashes the plane’s green lights.）If the pilot flies the plane in a clockwise circle , this means Dmessage received but not understood‖.（At night, the pilot flashes the plane’s red lights.） However, there is no signal which means Dmessage not received‖. Why not? 54. Which picture means Dit’s not safe to land‖?
55. What can we learn from the passage? A. Swinging your arm from side to side means Dyes‖. B. If the ground is dark, light smoke can’t be seen. 三亿文库包含各类专业文献、行业资料、文学作品欣赏、中学教育、生活休闲娱乐、专业论文、应用写作文书、幼儿教育、小学教育、初中英语九年级中考阅读训练C篇(15篇)及答案70等内容。
