They are afraid of change so they find no cheese.After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing: to get more cheese, move in a new direction quickly.

Ever since the “Back to the Future” movies lit up our screens in the 1980s，designers have dreamt of cars that could take to the sky at the push of a button. And now pilots can order their own “roadable” plane for just 127,000.The plane，which has fold-out wings that span 175 ft，has a range of flying distance of 460 miles and can be up to 115 mphBack on the land，it can also travel at “highway speeds” in car mode(状态)Fuelling the 19 ft long plane couldnt be simpleryou just drive it into a petrol station and fill it up. A spokeswoman said，“You can keep you light-sport airplane in your garageBut because it needs a short runway to take to the air，you will have to drive to your local airport，fly up to 460 miles，land，and drive directly to your destinationYou will always be ready to drive or fly"The spokeswoman added，“Never let bad weather change your tripYou call simply divert(改道)and continue on the ground until the weather clears” Theres no risk to youThis is only the chance for you to be the first at your home field to unfold your wings and fly into the future30According to the text，the “roadable” plane Acan fly at“highwayspeeds”in car mode Bis a kind of car with fold-out wings Cis 19ft long and 175 ft wide inside Dcan only travel on the highway31We can infer that in the “Back to the Future” movies Athere are some skillful pilots Bpilots have no cars to drive Cpilots cant afford a“roadable”plane Dcars can fly in the sky 32The last sentence of the text aims toAcall for people to buy the“roadable”planeBshow people the use of the“roadable”planeCtell people only the“roadable”plane can fly in the futureDask people to unfold their wings and fly into the futureDMy house is made out of wood, glass and stone. It is also made out of software.If you come to visit, youll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN （个人身份号码）to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When its dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings.Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console (控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you.The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.I believe that ten years from now, most new homes will have the systems that Ive put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones Ive put in today.I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, “How will I live without them?”33. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. How to develop a new system. B. The function of the PIN.C. A home for the future. D. Easy life in the future.34. Whats the purpose when the writer wrote the fourth paragraph?A. To let readers know why his ideas are new.B. To let readers know how special his house is.C. To explain the importance of the PIN and the console.D. To explain more easily what the functions of the PIN and the console are.35. What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage?A. An IT expert. B. A famous doctor. C. An idealist D. An experienced teacher.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Our peers usually have a great influence on our lives. However, when it comes to learning valuable lessons about life, we learn much more from older people than our peers.Unlike our peers, older people have a better understanding of life.36So we can learn more from their seasoned knowledge. Many of my friends spend little time on their lessons and they just use their time to have fun. However, my uncle has taught me that if I focus on studying instead of playing all the time, my life will be more fulfilling later on.37Also, older people can point us in the right direction and away from the mistakes they have already made. If we simply follow our peers, we will often run into similar problems.38My brother tried out for the football team last year and did not make it. Many of his peers told him to give up on the sport forever. But my father helped him realize that giving up was not the answer. Then my brother practiced harder.39Inthe end, older people can help us make the right decisions when we are in difficulties.40Older people have more life experience, and they can give us excellent advice.A. People who are your age are called peers.B. Thats because they have already been through it.C. In short, we learn more from older people than our peers.D. Its human nature to learn from other people in your age group.E. However, we can avoid them if we listen and learn from our elders.F.
