1、A Bad IdeaThink you can walk, drive, take phone calls, e - mail ａｎｄ　listen to music at the same time 7 Well, New York\'s new law says you can\'t. ａｎｄ　you\'ll be fined $ 100 if you do so on a New York city street. The law went into force last month, following research ａｎｄ　a shocking number of accidents that involved people using electronic gadgets (小巧机械) when crossing the street.Who\'s to blame? Scientists say that our multitasking (多任务处理) abilities are limited. "We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist (神经科学家) in Tennessee. "But a core limitation is the inability to concentrate on two things at once."The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. _____. Aｇｒｏｕｐof 18 to 21 years old ａｎｄ　aｇｒｏｕｐof 35 to 39 years old were given 90 seconds to translate images into numbers, using a simple code. The youngerｇｒｏｕｐdid 10 percent better when not interrupted. But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call ｏｒan instant message, the olderｇｒｏｕｐmatched the youngerｇｒｏｕｐin speed ａｎｄ　accuracy.It is difficult to measure the productivity lost by multitaskers. Jonathan Spira, chief analyst at Basex, a business - research firm, estimates that the cost of interruptions to the American economy is nearly $ 650 billion a year. The estimate is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers\' time was spent on interruptions ａｎｄ　recovery time before they returned to their main tasks.【单选题】

A.Talking on a cell phone while driving brings you joy anyway.

B.The estimate is based on surveys with office workers.

C.The youngerｇｒｏｕｐdid 10 percent better when not interrupted.

D.However, an Oxford University research suggests this perception is open to question.

E.Scientists say that our multitasking (多任务处理) abilities are limited.

F.ａｎｄ　you\'ll be fined $ 100 if you do so on a New York city street.

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题有一定的难度。可用排除法和代入法。本题的上一句谈到了年轻人常被认为是能同时兼顾多个任务的，下一句又谈到了一项试验表明年轻人和年纪大的没有多少差别，所以可以推断此处应该表达转折的意义。回来看选项，把D代入文中，符合逻辑，答案是D。

2、How to Interview PeopleInterviewing (采访) is one of those skills that you can only get better at. You will never again feel so ill at ease when you try it fｏｒthe first time, ａｎｄ　probably you\'ll never feel entirely comfortable trying to get from another person answers that he ｏｒshe may be too shy to reveal. But at least half of the skill is mechanical. The rest is instinct, which can all be learned with experience.The basic tools fｏｒan interview are paper ａｎｄ　two ｏｒthree well-sharpened pencils. But keep your notebook ｏｒpaper out of sight until you need it. There\'s nothing less likely to relax a person than the arrival of someone with a note-taking pad. Both of you need time to get to know each other. Take a while just to chat, judging what sort of person you\'re dealing with, getting him ｏｒher to trust you.Never go into an interview without doing whatever homework you can. If you are interviewing a town official, know his voting record. If it\'s an actor, know what plays he has been in. ______Many beginning interviewers are afraid that they are forcing the other person to answer questions ａｎｄ　have no right to inquire about his personal secrets. This fear is almost 103 percent unnecessary. Unless the person really hates being interviewed, he is delighted that somebody wants to interview him. Most men ａｎｄ　women lead lives that are uninteresting, ａｎｄ　they grasp any chance to talk to an outsider who seems eager to listen.This doesn\'t necessarily mean that it will go well. In general you will be talking to people who have never been interviewed before, ａｎｄ　they will get used to the process awkwardly, perhaps not giving you anything that you can use. Come back another day; it will go better. You will both even begin to enjoy it-proof that you aren\'t forcing your victim to do something he doesn\'t really want to.【单选题】

A.Come back another day; it will go better.

B.But at least half of the skill is mechanical.

C.As one philosopher interviewed in the film notes, they lack irony.

D.You will not be liked if you inquire about facts that you could have learned in advance.

E.This fear is almost 102 percent unnecessary.

F.Both of you need time to get to know each other.

正确答案:D

答案解析:空句前一直在说要提前进行准备，If it\'s an actor, know what plays he has been in，当然如果在采访一个人之前对被采访者没有任何了解肯定不会受欢迎。

3、Houses of FutureWhat will houses be like in thirty years\' time? No one really knows, but architects are trying to predict what our home will be likeE. Future houses will have to be flexible. In thirty years\' time even more of us will be working at 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. ______, nothing will be as fixed as it is now. The house will always be changing to meet changing needs. Everyone agrees that in thirty years\' time 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 most of the cooking to the machines, just tasting things from time to time to check. The house of the future will be personal-each house, you will be able to change the colｏｒofthe wall easily, you won\'t have to paint them, you\'ll be able to tell the wall to change the color! ａｎｄ　if you don\'t like the colｏｒthe next day, you will be able to have a new one. The only thing you won\'t be able to do is moving the house somewhere else.【单选题】

5、Looking to the FutureWhen a magazine fｏｒhigh-school students asked its readers what life would be like in twenty years, they said: Machines would be run by solar power. Buildings would rotate so they could follow the sun to take maximum advantage of its light ａｎｄ　heat. Walls would "radiate light" ａｎｄ　"change colｏｒwith the push of a buttons." Food would be replaced by pills. School would be taught "by electrical impulse while we sleep." Cars would have radar. Does this sound like the year 2000? Actually, the article was written in 1958 ａｎｄ　the question was, "what will life be like in 1978?". The future is much too important to simply guess about, the way the high school students did. So experts are regularly asked to predict accurately.By carefully studying the present, skilled businessmen, scientists, ａｎｄ　politicians are supposedly able to figure out in advance what will happen. But can they? One expert on cities wrote: Cities of the future would not be crowded but would have space fｏｒfarms ａｎｄ　fields. People would travel to world in "airbuses" all-weather helicopters carrying up to 200 passengers. When a person left the airbus station he could drive a coin-operated car equipped with radar. The radar equipment of cars would make traffic accidents "almost unheard off\'. Does that sound familiar? If the exert had been accurate it would, because he was writing in 1957. His subject was "The city of 1982". If the professionals sometimes sound like high-school students, it\'s probably because future study is still a new field. Here is an example fｏｒfuture study. Economic forecasting, ｏｒpredicting what the economy will do, has been around fｏｒa long time. But there have been some big mistakes in this field, too. In early 1929, most forecasters saw an excellent future fｏｒthe stock market. In October of that year, the stock market had its worst losses ever, ruining thousands of investors who had put their faith in financial foreseers. One forecaster knew that predictions about the future would always be subject to significant errors. In 1957, H. J. Rａｎｄ　of the Rａｎｄ　Corporation was asked about the year 2000, "Only one thing is certain," he answered. " ______"【单选题】

A.In early 1929, most forecasters saw an excellent future fｏｒthe stock market.

B.Children born today will have reached the age of 43.

C.Actually, the article was written in 1958 ａｎｄ　the question was, "what will life be like in 1978?"

D.So experts are regularly asked to predict accurately.

E.Scientists are 80 percent accurate in predicting the future.

F.The radar equipment of cars would make traffic accidents "almost unheard off\'.

正确答案:B

答案解析:最后一段是总结段，指出预测的不准确性。结束前用调侃的语气写道，要预测2000年将发生的事情，有一件事是不会预测错的：今天出生的婴儿到2000年是43岁(2000-1957=43)。
