the point of supplying all the basic essentials of life food,shelter,clothes and warmth.Then we are faced with a choice between using technology to provide and fulfill needs which have now been regarded as unnecessary or,on the other hand,using technology to reduce the number of hours of work which a man must do in order to earn a given standard of living.In other words,we either raise our standard of living above that necessary for comfort and happiness or we leave it at this level and work shorter hours.I shall take it for granted that mankind has,by that time,chosen the latter alternative.Men will be working shorter and shorter hours in their paid employment.It follows that the housewife will also expect to be able to have more leisure in her life without lowering her standard of living.It also follows that human domestic servants will have completely ceased to exist.Yet the great majority of the housewives will wish to be relieved completely from the routine operations of the home such as scrubbing the floors or the bath of the cooker,or washing the clothes or washing up,or dusting or sweeping,or making beds.By far the most logical step to relieve the housewife of routine is to provide a robot which can be trained to the requirements of a particular home and can be programmed to carry out half a dozen or more standard operation,when is switched by the housewife.1As civilization develops in the direction of technology,_.Athe basic essentials of life must be supplied Bit is important to supply the basic essentials of life Cit is no longer so important as it was in the past to supply all the basic essentials of life Dit is not necessary to supply the basic essentials of life 2According to the author,we are faced with

office to say I have arrived and then wait until a voice calls me into the examination room.There,a robotic nurse directs me onto the scales and then takes my blood pressure.Some time later,in steps the doctor,who is also a robot.He notes down my symptoms and gives me a prescription.I pay for my visit using a credit card machine and return home without having encountered another human being.This scenario(场景)is my nightmarish(噩梦般的)vision of the future,which hasnt come to pass at least not yet.I should say I really do like many aspects of technology.I am a big fan of air conditioning in the summer and heaters in winter.But I am writing this because I dont want machines to take over.When I call my dentists office and actually get a human being on the line,I am thrilled.And when I see the introduction of yet more self-service checkout stations at the grocery store,I feel like shouting:“When it comes to cashiers(收银员),make mine human,please！”After all,human cashiers sometimes give you a store coupon(优惠券)for items you are buying but you didnt realize were on sale.Even more than that,real life cashiers often take an interest in particularly cute children,which can brighten

do any of this?I dont want to go back to the Store Age,but Im also worried about a world run by machines.Sometimes when youre chatting with someone,you discover things you need to know.Maybe a receptionist needs prayers said for a sick child.Maybe a sales person can offer a bit of encouragement for a customer who is feeling tired.Machines can be efficient and cost-effective and they often get the job done just fine.But they lack an element so crucial to everyday life.It is being human that prompts(促使)us to smile at others,which may be what they need at that moment.Call it the spirit,the soul or the heart.It is something no machine will ever have.5Whats the authors purpose in writing the first two paragraphs?ATo indicate high technology can make our future life very efficient.BTo warn readers of the possible dangers of robotic nurses and doctors.CTo describe a possible future scene where robots take control of our life.DTo predict how technology can affect the way we see a doctor in the future.6What is the main reason that the author prefers being served by humans rather than by robots?ARobots dont offer to give store coupons.BRobots are indifferent and emotionless.CServices from robots cost less time and more money.DRobots cant do a job as well as humans do.7What does the underlined word“element”mean in the eighth paragraph?AHumor.BThe ability to speak.CMethods.DEffective communication.8Whats the main idea of the text?AThe opinion about using man or machine.BMachines give people a lot of convenience.CBeing human service is better than service from machines.DBeing human service cost little money.CWhen he was just 19,Michael Dell started the company that would dominate the industry.名师资料总结-精品资料欢迎下载-名师精心整理-第 3 页，共 12 页 -4-At the time,IBM personal computers sold in stores for about$3,000.After taking them apart and rebuilding them,Dell realized the components(零部件)could be bought for one-fourth the price.Soon he was buying components to reduce the cost.A good business decision,but it meant his room was starting to look like a mechanics shop.“I was quite excited about the possibilities for personal computers and how they could change society.I had this idea to sell the products directly to the user over the phone.”he said.College plans and his parents expectations bothered him a lot.But Michael Dell was determined.He drove off to the University of Texas at Austin in August 1983 in a car hed bought with earnings from selling newspapers.He was surprised that his mother wasnt suspicious about the three computers in the backseat.By November,news reached his parents that he wasnt attending classes.On a surprise visit to Austin,they caught their son on spot.Michael Dell told dad that he wanted to compete with IBM.Although Michael agreed to focus on his studies,the business chances and the timing couldnt have been better.The public was becoming more interested in computers,but no one was producing them.In early May,a week before his final exams,Michael started Dell Computer Corporation with$1,000.He took his exam,and then dropped out of college at the end of his freshman year.It was time to try out his direct-to-customer business model.“Three years later，”Dell says“we had already achieved annual sales of about$150 million.I was 22 years old then.”9What does the underlined word in paragraph 1 mean?AAffect.BDevelop.CSupport.DLead.10Which of the following is TRUE according to paragraph 2?ADell discovered a good chance to make money.BDell could buy a computer at one-fourth the price.CIBM made little money from personal computers.DDell rebuilt computers in a mechanics shop.11When Dells parents learned about his absence from class,they _.Atried to help with his business Bwere too suspicious to accept it Cwanted him to go back to class Dencouraged him to compete with IBM 12It can be inferred from the article that _.名师资料总结-精品资料欢迎下载-名师精心整理-第 4 页，共 12 页 -5-ADell was tired of his college life BDell was not devoted to his study at college CDells college life helped him greatly DDell didnt finish his final exams DStarting high school life can be extremely exciting and at the same time nerve-wracking.You may worry about all these things:what classes to take,what to wear on the first day of school and what will everyone think of you?But so far high school has been the best experience for me ever.On my first day of high school,I asked a senior where my class was,and he told me it was on the fourth floor,next to the pool.I found out five minutes later that we didnt even have a fourth floor and had no pool either!Besides that event,I didnt have any trouble with the older kids.I think the biggest difference between middle and high school is the homework load and the size of the school.I went from fifteen minutes of homework a night to several hours,so I had to learn time management pretty quickly!Our class size was around 550,so being exposed(暴露)to so many new people was a big change.Getting involved in clubs,sports,music and other activities at school makes it easier to get to know people in every grade its always useful to have an upperclassman friend!The best suggestion I can give about the four years you spend in high school is to learn things for the sake of learning,not just to get a good grade.There have been so many tests that Ive crammed(突击式学习)on the night before and got an A,but now I dont remember anything.Ive changed that this year,and I enjoy school so much more.Relating to academics,dont take easy classes just to have a simple year.If you have a choice between“AP Chemistry”and“Racquet Sports”，the first will prove to be more useful!13On the first day of high school,the author _.Afailed to adapt himself to a new environment Bfound it was hard for him to get on with new classmates Cwas teased by a senior student Dlost his way in the schoolyard 14Which of the following is TRUE about the authors advice on high school life?AMaking as many upperclassmen friends as possible.BTaking an active part in various after-school activities.名师资料总结-精品资料欢迎下载-名师精心整理-第 5 页，共 12 页 -6-CTrying to obtain useful knowledge instead of getting good grades.DChoosing easy but useful courses instead of practical ones.15In writing the text,the author intends to _.Atell others his first-day experience at high schoolBexpress his opinions on high school education Cdescribe what can be learnt at high school Dshare his life and thoughts at high school.任务型阅读Many people experience feelings of sadness,and depression in winter.16._ Make a planThe
