【连题】 根据以下资料，回答36~39题。
The year 2000 will bring big changes in communication.Cell phones will be small enough to carry in your pocket.Videophones will let you see the person you are talking to on the phone.Tiny hand size computers will know your favorite subjects.The Internet and email will be everywhere. Technologists believe 2000 will be the year of video messaging.You will be able to see whom you're talking to.
Also in the near future small wireless boxes will pick up information from satellites.In 5 years, computers won't need to be connected through wires.
All of this will be good for rural areas and countries that don't have cable or telephone now.
In 20 years you may only need to think about something and the computer will do it.
Constance Hale is the author of Sin and Syntax, "I believe that email has been an incredible boon to communication.People are writing today where they would have been telephoning yesterday.So people are engaging with words more than they have for the last couple generations."
If people use email and the Internet more, it could make people better readers and writers.Some people think the most important part of communication is to make people understand each other better.Will technology make that easier?
The translator also comes in handy in medical emergencies.Tam Dinh says, "Where people are injured it's always important to get as much information as quickly as possible."
Bob Parks is an Associate Editor of Wired Magazine, "Bob's morning begins at about 6:45 am.and Bob is kind of mad, because Bob usually gets up at around 7:15 and likes to cut it close with his morning commute, but I look at my radio and it says that there's a traffic jam on 101 South and I'm gonna need an extra 1/2 hour.And so my radio has got a net connection, wireless net connection as well as a good old power cord to the wall and it has received notice that there's a traffic jam and it has calculated an extra 1/2 hour commute time."
Some day everything may be connected to the Internet.Your refrigerator will add milk to your Internet grocery list when the date on the carton has passed.Light bulbs will be ordered before they burn out.
It's fun to try to guess the future.Usually the predictions are wrong.The one thing we know for sure is that we can't imagine how technology will change.
第36题 How will wireless computers and Internet services help rural areas?
A.One of the biggest barriers to Internet use is getting wires into rural areas.
B.The wireless computers will be cheaper.
C.People in rural areas don't have anything else to do.
D.People in rural areas already have wireless boxes on their roofs.
【正确答案】：A
试题解析：参见第二、三段。那些无线的设施可以用在没有电缆的农村。
第37题 Constance Hale says "email has been an incredible boon to communication".What Does she mean by this?
A.People want to see the person they are talking to on the phone.
B.email is easier than talking on the phone.
C.People are using writing and reading more with email.
D.email is not private enough.
【正确答案】：C
试题解析：参见第五段。Hale说今天的人们用得更多的是电子邮件。
第38题 In which case mentioned in the passage would an automatic language translator be helpful?
A.A medical emergency.
B.Police action.
C.Traveling.
D.All of the above.
【正确答案】：A
试题解析：参见倒数第四段。
第39题 Why did Bob Parks radio wake him up 1/2 hour earlier than usual?

【正确答案】：D

When I was about 12 1 had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings.Week by week her list grew: I was skinny, I wasn't a good student, I was boyish, I talked too loud, and so on.I put up with her as long as I could.At last, with great anger, I ran to my father in tears.
He listened to my outburst quietly.Then he asked, "Are the things she says true or not?"
True? I wanted to know how to strike back.What did truth have to do with it?
"Mary, didn't you ever wonder what you are really like? Well, you now have that girl's opinion.Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true.Pay no attention to the other things she said."
I did as he directed and discovered to my surprise that about half the things were true.Some of them I couldn't change (like being skinny), but a good number I could and suddenly wanted to change.
For the first time in my life I got a fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy.He refused to take it.
"That's just for you," he said."You know better than anybody else the truth about yourself, once you hear it.But you've got to learn to listen, not to close your ears in anger or hurt.When something said about you is true you'll know it.You'll find that it will echo inside you."

Can animals be made to work for us? Some scientists think that one day animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs that are now done by human beings.
They point out that at a circus, for example, we may see elephants, monkeys, dogs and other animals doing quite skillful things.Perhaps you have seen them on the television or in a film.If you watch closely, you may notice that the trainer always gives the animal a piece of candy or a piece of fruit as a reward.The scientists say that many different animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs if they know they will get a reward for doing them.
Of course, as we know, dogs can be used to guard a house, and soldiers in both old and modem times have used geese to give warning by making a lot of noise when a stranger or an enemy comes near.But it may be possible to train animals to work in factories.In Russia, for example, pigeons which are birds with good eyesight, are being used to watch out for faults in small steel balls that are being made in one factory.When the pigeon sees a ball which looks different from others, it touches a steel plate with its beak.This turns on a light to warn people in the factory.At the same time a few seeds are given as a reward.It takes three to five weeks to train a pigeon to do this and one pigeon can inspect 3 000 to 4 000 balls an hour.

【连题】 根据以下资料，回答52~55题。
Train companies in Tokyo are taking action to reduce the number of people jumping in front of trains.They are fitting blue lights on station platforms to try and create a more calming atmosphere.The East Japan Railway Company has invested almost $170,000 to install the lights in all of the 29 stations on the capital's busy Yamanote Line.There has been an alarming rise in the number of people committing suicide at train stations.A total of 68 people threw themselves under trains in the year up to March.This compares with 42 suicides in the same period a year earlier.In 2008, Japan had nearly 2,000 suicides by jumping in front of a train; around six percent of all suicides nationwide.Suicides have risen sharply in the past decade due to poor economic conditions.
No one knows if the blue lights will work.There is no evidence to show that blue light reduces suicidal feelings. Keihan Railway spokesman Osamu Okawa stated: "We thought we had to do something to save lives.We know there is no scientific proof that blue lights deter suicides, but if blue has a soothing effect on the mind, we want to try it to save lives." The Associated Press news agency reports on a Japanese therapist called Mizuki Takahashi.She explained her reasons why the blue lights might be a good idea: "We associate the color with the sky and the sea.It has a calming effect on agitated people, or people obsessed with one particular thing, which in this case is committing suicide," she said.Other companies are watching this experiment with interest.
第52题 Why blue lights are installed in many train stations?
A.Because they do not hurt human eyes.
B.Because they are cheaper than regular ones.
C.Because they can help people at night.
D.Because they can reduce the number of suicides.
【正确答案】：D
试题解析：本文讲的是许多日本火车站启用蓝色的灯以减少卧轨自杀人数。第一段提到，蓝色可以创造平静的氛围，想自杀的人会在这种气氛中平静下来，所以采用蓝色。
第53题 The use of blue lights to reduce suicides __.
A.has no result yet
B.is proved effective
C.is welcomed by suicides
D.has been refused by stations
【正确答案】：A
试题解析：全文中多处提到，无论从科学的角度还是试验的角度，都还没有结果表明蓝色的灯是否会真的起作用。
第54题 A Japanese therapist explained that __.
A.many suicides love blue color
B.the color of sky and see may calm excited people
C.only people with trouble in mind need blue color
D.blue color will definitely work to save suicides
【正确答案】：B
试题解析：第二段中说到，一位日本的理疗医师说，蓝色被认作是天空和海洋，有让心情焦躁的人或受到某个特殊事件刺激的人平静下来的作用。选项C中的0nly不合题意，太绝对了。
第55题 What is the writer's attitude toward the experiment? He is __.
A.interested
B.denying
C.objective
D.indifferent
【正确答案】：C
试题解析：作者通篇以陈述的口气说明了一个真实的试验。以客观的事实说明该事件，并没有以个人的看法为主导思想。
