1、Electric BackpackBackpacks are convenient. They can hold your books, your lunch, ａｎｄ　a change of clothes, leaving your hands free to do other things. Someday, if you don\'t mind carrying a heavy load, your backpacks might also power your MP3 player, keep your cell phone running, ａｎｄ　maybe even light your way home.Lawrence C. Rome ａｎｄ　his colleagues from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia ａｎｄ　the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass, have invented a backpack that makes electricity from energy produced while its wearer walks. In military actions, search-and-rescue operations, ａｎｄ　scientific field studies, people rely increasingly on cell phones, global positioning system (GPS) receivers, night-vision goggles, ａｎｄ　other battery-powered devices to get around ａｎｄ　do their work. The backpack\'s electricity-generating feature could dramatically reduce the amount of a wearer\'s load now devoted to spare batteries, report Rome ａｎｄ　his colleagues in the Sept. 9, Science.The backpack\'s electricity-creating powers depend on springs used to hang a cloth pack from its metal frame. The frame sits against the wearer\'s back, ａｎｄ　the whole pack moves up ａｎｄ　down as the person walks. A gear mechanism converts vertical movements of the pack to rotary motions of an electrical generator, producing up to 7. 4 watts.Unexpectedly, tests showed that wearers of the new backpack ａｌｔｅｒtheir gaits in response to the pack\'s oscillations, so that they carry loads more comfortably ａｎｄ　with less effort than they do ordinary backpacks. Because of that surprising advantage, Rome plans to commercialize both electric ａｎｄ　non-electric versions of the backpack.The backpack could be especially useful fｏｒsoldiers, scientists, mountaineers, ａｎｄ　emergency workers who typically carry heavy backpacks. Fｏｒthe rest of us, power-generating backpacks could make it possible to walk, play video games, watch TV, ａｎｄ　listen to music, all at the same time. Electricity-generating packs aren\'t on the market yet, but if you do get one eventually, just make sure to look both ways before crossing the street!According to Paragraph 4, what does Rome plan to do?【单选题】

A.To make the backpack more comfortable fｏｒthe wearer.

B.To put the backpack on the market.

C.To test the advantage of the backpack.

D.To promote the backpack in a newspaper ｏｒon television.

正确答案:B

答案解析:第4段最后一句的意思是：Rome计划将这种背包商业化，即推向市场。A、C、D在文中均未提到。D的意思是为背包做广告。

5、Houses of the FutureWhat will houses be like after thirty years? No one really knows, but architects are trying to predict. ____Future houses will have to be flexible. some of us will be working from home. So we will have to be able to use areas of the house fｏｒwork fｏｒpart of the day ａｎｄ　fｏｒliving fｏｒthe rest. Families grow ａｎｄ　change with children arriving, growing up ａｎｄ　leaving home. The house of the future will have to grow ａｎｄ　change with the family. Nothing will be as fixed as it is now. The house will always be changing to meet changing needs.Everyone agrees that after 30 years we will be living in "intelligent" houses. We will be able to talk to our kitchen machines ａｎｄ　discuss with them what to do. Like this: "We\'ll be having a party this weekend. What food shall we cook?" ａｎｄ　the machine will tell us what food we will have to buy ａｎｄ　how to cook it. We will be able to leave cooking to the machines, just tasting things from time to time to check.The house of the future will be personal ａｎｄ　each house will be different. You will be able to change the colｏｒof the wall easily. You won\'t have to paint them ａｎｄ　you\'ll be able to tell the wall to change the color! ａｎｄ　if you don\'t like the colｏｒtoday, you will be able to have a new one. The only thing you won\'t be able to do is move the house somewhere else!【单选题】

F.The kids might take their bedrooms with them as they leave.

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题的难度较大。需要认真阅读文章，特别是第一段和第二段，可用排除法和代入法。本题的上文谈到了没有人会知道30年后房子是什么样子，但建筑家们正在努力地预测。开头第一句用的是疑问句，下文的第一句就谈到未来的房子要十分灵活，用的是陈述句，可以推测此处很可能继续对未来房屋进行发问来展开文章的叙述，回来看选项，可以先排除A，B，C，F项，把D，E代人文章里，可以发现，D更能符合上下文语境和逻辑，是最佳答案。

6、Women Staying in Mini-Skirts fｏｒLongerBritish women are happy nowadays to wear mini-skirts up until the age of40, according to research by Debenhams.Just 20 years ago, few women would dare to wear a mini-skirt. after the age of 33, the store said. "It shows that women now have an increasing confidence in their bodies ａｎｄ　are happy to dress accordingly," it added in a statement. "If this trend continues, there\'s no doubt that, within the next decade, women in their mid 40s ａｎｄ　early 50s will rightly regard a mini-skirt as an essential part of their everyday wardrobe. "The figures emerged when the store examined the latest age profile of women buying short,36-cm skirts over the past six months. Their results show that it has jumped from an average age of36-years-old at the start of millennium to 40 today. Figures from 1980 showed that on average women stopped buying minis when they reached 33 years old, a figure unchanged from the mid-1960s.The store noted that experts believe that the popularity of intensive gym culture, providing women with well toned bodies fｏｒlonger may be the reason, The increasing number of British women living on their own may also be a factor.The Debenhams\' study showed that a modern woman\'s love affair with a mini-skirt begins at the age of 14 but that she doesn\'t buy her first one until the age of 16. Instead, she flouts school rules by rolling up the waistbａｎｄ　of the school uniform to give the impression of wearing a mini skirt.Skirts get shorter between the ages of 16 ａｎｄ　19, reducing in size from 46 to 36 cm before reaching their shortest, a mere 32 cm, at the age of 23. Skirt length increases slightly between the ages of 23 ａｎｄ　27, rising to 37 cm, possibly due to girls being in their first stable relationship, with no desire to attract attention, the store said.However, it found short skirts suddenly zoom in popularity between the ages of27 ａｎｄ　34, as those early relationships break down, ａｎｄ　new relationships are formed. The move into longer skirts begins irreversibly at 40 years old, when 46-cm skirts, still slightly above the knee are the norm. From then on, skirt length increases dramatically, falling below the knee fｏｒthe very first time since school days at the age of42.Debenhams could most possibly be ____.【单选题】

A.a fashion magazine

B.a lifestyle association

C.an expert on trends

D.a department store

正确答案:D

答案解析:从第2段的第1句话可知，Debenhams是一个百货公司的名称。

7、Why People Use Pseudonyms (假名字)?You can\'t choose the name you are given at birth, but in many countries you can change it legally when you reach adulthood. Of course, most people never change their names even if they feel unhappy about them. However some people do take this course of action－particularly artists! What makes an artist want to change their name? Sometimes it\'s fｏｒpurely personal reasons, such as the Nobel Prize winning poet from Chile, Neftalf Reyes. He didn\'t want his father to know he was writing poetry, so he changed his name to Pablo Neruda when he was a young man. At other times the reason may appear strange, take the case of the Portuguese poet Femando Pessoa, who wrote under 75 different names. The reason? "When I use a different name, I always write in a different way," he explained. In most cases, however , people change their names fｏｒsocial, historical, political, ｏｒcultural reasons. Here are some of the most common: reason. The person\'s real name is just ____ long ａｎｄ　difficult to remember. Let\'s be honest, Madonna Louise Ciccone is not as easy to remember as just plain Madonna. ａｎｄ　short names are much easier to remember: William Bradley became Brad Pitt ａｎｄ　Edson Arantes do Nascimento became Pele.Sometimes names are changed fｏｒmarketing purposes. Fｏｒexample, if a name sounds too foreign, it may be changed to something that is more recognizable in a market. So in the film world, Ramon Estsvez adopted the name Martin Sheen. ｏｒmaybe the artist\'s real name doesn\'t sound attractive－Chad Everett does sound a lot better than Raymond Cramton.Artists sometimes choose the name of someone they admire. Robert Zimmerman changed his name to Boo Dylan because of his admiration fｏｒthe Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas.Another reason may be practical: in the past, women found it very difficult to get published. To avoid this situation, they sometimes gave themselves men\'s names, so the English authｏｒMary Ann Evans became George Eliot, ａｎｄ　she did get her books published!【单选题】

A.so

B.very

C.too

D.much

正确答案:C

答案解析:本题难度不大，从文中可以判断出，此处是...too...to结构，因此答案是C。

8、Continuing Education1 People around the world agree that education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate students only fｏｒthe aim of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them fｏｒlife. Life is varied; so is education.2 Ideas about education are more specified in the United States. Education today is not just a high school diploma ｏｒa college degree. Many adults are not interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. Fｏｒthem, learning does not end with a diploma.3 Continuing education gives these adults the opportunity to increase their knowledge about their own field ｏｒto learn about a new field. It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills ｏｒto learn new ones. Scientists, mechanics, secretaries, barbers ａｎｄ　cooks can take classes to improve their work skills. If they know more ｏｒlearn more, they can get a better job ｏｒearn more money.4 Continuing education classes give more adults the chance to learn new skills. There is usually a large variety of classes to choose from: typing, foreign cooking, photography, auto repair, furniture repair, ｏｒswimming. There are only some of the classes available.5 Some adults take classes fｏｒfun ｏｒbecause the class will be useful fｏｒthem. Other adults take continuing education classes to improve their own lives because they want to feel better about themselves.6 Almost any community college ｏｒpublic school system has a continuing education program. There are classes in schools, community buildings ｏｒchurches. Most classes are in the evenings, so working people can attend. The classes are usually small, ａｎｄ　they are inexpensive.The new idea about education in the U. S. is that ____ .【单选题】

A.adults should go on learning after graduating from school

10、Working Successfully within Cultural BoundariesSoon after starting our job in China, we realized that the greatest challenge we faced would not be our day-to-day responsibilities but a completely foreign work environment ａｎｄ　culture.We were used to the very direct, sometimes confrontational, but more equal style of management in the United States. Here, we were faced with the never-direct, never-confrontational style of management common in Asia.We often hear similar stories. One woman shared her experience of returning to China after more than 15 years in the US. Although she spent most of her childhood in China, she felt that her colleagues\' thinking processes were completely foreign to her. She needed to adapt herself to the culture of her company only then would she be successful at her job. In the end, she wasn\'t able to successfully re-adapt herself to the culture. What she didn\'t realize was that, rather than disagreeing with her ideas, they disagreed with her method of implementing them. Fｏｒexample, instead of recognizing her company\'s strict chain-of-command, she had in one case taken her plan straight to the company chairman. This action consequently caused her superiors to lose face. She had unwittingly broken a cardinal rule of Chinese culture.One man who spent many years overseas before returning to China to head up the local operations of a multinational company, had a similar experience. In his first management team meeting, he presented his plans fｏｒa new direction in China operations. His request was met with an uncomfortable silence, with none of the managers daring to speak up. They had not been prepared fｏｒhis open style of management. Soon he quickly determined that his first on-the-job challenge would be to build up managers\' confidence in him, ａｎｄ　that he had to do this individually, not in a group. Within a year, their management team meetings were transformed into the interactive, brainstorming sessions that he intended them to be.Therefore, it wasn\'t until after we had learned to appreciate the culture of our workplace ａｎｄ　earned the confidence ａｎｄ　trust of our inferiors that we were able to move forward ａｎｄ　successfully do our job. We must first understａｎｄ　ａｎｄ　accept a culture fｏｒwhat it is; only then will we be able to successfully work within it.What are the differences in style of management in the USA ａｎｄ　China according to the author? In the USA, it is indirect style of management. In China, it is direct. In the USA, it is direct style of management. In China, it is never-direct. In the USA, it is always confrontational. In China, it is sometimes confrontational. In the USA, it is equal. In China it is unequal.Where did the woman think she differed from her Chinese colleagues?【单选题】

A.In the thinking process.

B.In treating the same thing.

C.In implementing.

D.In understanding the rule.

正确答案:A

答案解析:根据第3段，“尽管她的童年是在中国度过的，但是她觉得她同事的思维方式完全陌生”，因此答案是A。
