His business is freezing people after they die. Although doctors today can cure many diseases, some diseases cannot be cured and cause the deaths of people. People who die of such diseases want Trans Time to freeze their bodies after they die, hoping that 100 or 200 years later they can be brought back to life, get cured and be healthy again.Trans Time also freezes people who die of old age. In 1987 a Trans Time scientist froze a healthy dog. The dog's heart stopped beating; the dog was dead. Then, twenty minutes later, the scientist brought the dog back to life. Trans Time scientists say, "We can freeze a healthy animal and bring it back to life. We can't freeze dead people and bring them back to life. But we think that someday it will be possible." When the scientists say "someday", they mean years from now-maybe 100 or 200 years. How can Trans Time keep people frozen for 200 years?After a person dies, workers at Trans Time cool the body with ice and chemicals. When the body is very cold, workers put the body into a box. They fill the box with liquids. The temperature in the box is -196 degrees. Every two weeks workers add more liquid that keeps the bodies frozen.1.

It is easiest not to leave the rooms where your children passed through their wonderful childhood and annoying teens to a friendly but slightly distant maturity.Until, suddenly one day, the distance is absolute and they are grown up and gone. Then you find yourself living in too large a house, which consumes in its maintenance too much energy and money. When we found ourselves in this situation a few years ago, we determined to move while we still had the strength and before the emotional ties that the old house had wrapped around us became too powerful to be broken. Move while you can! But be sure you really want to, and do not move too often. It is an exhausting process.Vbur first task is to find a house that will suit you. It must be smaller, quieter, easier to run, and more conveniently placed for transport. Not so small, though, that it will not have room for your largest pieces of furniture, and located not too far from the neighborhood where so many friendships have been built up.At last we found one: a late Victorian cxDttage, in a street where the houses, all small, range from late 18th to mid 20th century. It was near enough to where we wanted to live. It had no basement （底 层），which was a great convenience for aging legs; there were only two floors: one for ourselves and one where friends, children, and grandchildren could spread themselves when they came to stay. Each floor had two rooms. There was a kitchen on the ground floor, with the bathroom above it.1. The passage concerns.A. buying a house for a newly married coupleB. buying a large house for a growing familyC. buying a better house when people have more money to spendD. buying a smaller house for older people whose children have left home2. The passage implies that grown-up children are.A. more friendly to their parents when they are grown upB. distant from their parentsC. friendly but not very closeD. annoying3. The author decided to move.A. when his house gave him too much work and cost too much to runB. when he grew tired of his houseC. when he suddenly got the strength to do soD. before the house collapsed4. The author advises people in his own situation.A. to move into a very small houseB. to move somewhere where the largest possible pieces of furniture will fitC. not to move too far from the main roadD. to choose somewhere not so noisy5. According to the passage, the new house had.A. two floorsB. three floorsC. four floorsD. two bathroomsQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage or dialog.Is teaching important? Well, of course it is. There was a time when all necessary knowledge could be taught to the young by family members. But as societies became more complex and division of labor more common, it was impossible for family members to teach the information and skills young people needed to become useful members of the society. As the need for specialists appeared, the job of teaching came into being in our country, and teaching as a job has been of increasing importance over the past one hundred years. Today, we have strict rules for teachers. We hope all children can go to school. Many things tell us that teaching is indeed an "important" job.In recent years, there has been an increasing need for teachers to be "responsible". This means that the public expects teachers to succeed in teaching important information to the young. 7eachers, salaries today, while not much, certainly are much higher than they were in the past. These increases have come about because people have realized that quality people, individuals who are highly able to teach, will not do it if they are not offered enough money. Today almost no one says that "anybody will do" for a teacher. The public expects "quality people" to teach the young, and progress is being made to give salaries that will make people who have abilities become teachers.6. In the author's opinion, the job of a teacher.A. is done best by family membersB. is too complex for most peopleC. is free of rulesD. is important for society7. The cause for the new job of "teacher" was.A. the increased importance of laborB. the need for specialistsC. the strict rules of the governmentD. the increased number of children in school8. According to the writer,is on the increase nowadays.A. a need for teachers to have responsibility for themselvesB. a need for teachers to teach responsibility to studentsC. the numbers of students who are entering schoolD. the numbers of people who take the job of teacher9. We learn from this passage that.A. money encourages teachers to be responsibleB. money is not a responsible reason to become a teacherC. money is a good way to attract people to become teachers D. money was much higher for teachers in the past10. What do people hardly ever say these days?A. Anyone can be a teacher.B. Progress is being made.C. Teachers have abilities.D. Quality people are teaching the young.Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage or dialog.For most people learning to drive, the driving test arises ahead as a major barrier. It is also a general source of conversation whenever drivers are gathered together. There are probably more tall stories about the driving test than about any other motoring subjects; the most remarkable thing about those stories is the number of times the old ones appear again, years after they were first heard, in new and exaggerated forms.All driving examiners have had to pass a very strict selection process, followed by at least six weeks' training. In the course of this training the Department makes sure that their driving is of a consistently high standard.Driving test centers are chosen with equal care. It would be nice to have centers and examiners town by town. But this is just not possible, because the centers have to be at places where there is enough parking space for candidates （考生）and where there are enough test routes. Routes are carefully chosen to make sure that they are all roughly comparable-the proportion of right and left turns, hills, pedestrian （丁人）crossings and so on. The object of all this is to make sure, as far as possible, that all candidates in the driving test have to cope with the same sort of conditions whether they take the test in New Vbrk or California.The work that examiners do in actually carrying out tests is checked continuously by supervising examiners. This is to make as sure as possible that every candidate for the driving test has a proper and equal chance of showing the examiner, in the words of the Regulations, "that he is competent to drive without danger to and with due consideration for other users of the road." This is all that the examiner is concerned with.11. It can be learned from the passage that.A. whenever people learning to drive get together, they often talk about the driving testB. new and exaggerated stories about the test are always appearingC. there are more tall stories about the driving test than any other subjectD. the same stories about the test reappear years later12. According to the passage, driving examiners.A. are trained for six weeks, then have a difficult selection interviewB. are given regular driving tests themselves by supervising examinersC. sometimes have more than six weeks' trainingD. are tested during the selection process to see if their driving is of a high standard13. There isn't a test center in every town because.A some examiners can go to occasional centers from the permanent centersB. routes and conditions have to be the same everywhereC. there has to be enough parking space for the candidates and the examinersD. not every town could provide enough test routes close to permanent centers14. We can judge from this passage that.A. the detailed records are checked after each test by a supervising examinerB. sometimes candidates are tested by a supervising examinerC. it's true that some examiners never pass anyone on Thursday afternoonsD. examiners are only concerned with a candidate's ability to drive15. It can be inferred from this passage that.A. test routes have roughly the same conditions everywhereB. candidate drivers pass the testC. all candidates are treated equally by the examiners during the testD. some test centers do not have enough parking spacePart 3 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice)(每小题:2 分;满分:30 分)小题得分对错我的答案客观1.2ZDD2.2/CC3.2zAA4.2zBB5.2zAA6.2zDD7.2zBB8.2zAA9.2zCC10.2zAA11.2zAA12.2zCC13.2zDD14.2zDD15.2zAASubtotal: 30老师评语:Part 4 Multiple Choice（每小题:分）Directions: Choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.1.
