If you think that is a simple question，you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in biotechnology ( 生物技术 ).With the help of new medicine，the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents，murder and war. Todays leading killers，such as heart disease，cancer，and aging itself，will become distant memories.In discussion of technological changes，the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells are the basic units of all living things，and until recently，scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells，such as those of brain cells，would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100，medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so，people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs. The medicine，made up of the basic building materials of life，will build new brain cells，heart cells，and so on，in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence，but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.21.According to the passage，human death is now mainly caused by _.A. diseases and aging B. accidents and warB. accidents and aging D. heart disease and war22.Humans may live longer in the future because _.A. heart disease will be far away from usB. human brains can decide the final deathC. the basic materials of cells will last foreverD. human organs can be repaired by new medicine23.We can learn from the passage that _.A. human life will not last more than 120 years in the futureB. humans have to take medicine to build new skin cells nowC. much needs to be done before humans can have a longer lifeD. we have already solved the technical problems in building new cellsBFive years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict (迷),” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled (皱的).” Today David wears casual clothes khaki pants and a sports shirt to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “Im working harder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the changes from formal to casual office wear have been slow. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their workers to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday).This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for workers has really become an everyday thing,” said business adviser Maisly Jones.Why have so many companies started allowing their workers to wear casual clothes? One reason is that its easier for a company to attract new workers if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people dont want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so its hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code. (保守的着装要求)” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study made by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that casual dress has a side effect on work. Supporters of casual office wear also say that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”24.David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict” because _.A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirtB. he couldnt stand a clean appearanceC. he wanted his clothes to look tidy and clean all the timeD. he didnt want to spend much money on clothes25. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because _.A. they make him feel at ease when workingB. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothesC. he looks handsome in casual clothesD. he no longer works for any company26. According to this passage, which of the following is FALSE?A. Many workers dont like a conservative dress code.B. Comfortable clothes make workers more productive.C. A casual clothes code is welcomed by young workers.D. All the employers in the U.S. are for casual office wear. C People in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mothers Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Fathers Day, on the third Sunday in June.Mothers Day was proclaimed ( 公告) a day for national observance by President Woodrow Wilson in 1915. Ann Jarvis from Grafton, West Virginia, had started the idea to have a day to honor mothers. She was the one who chose the second Sunday in May and also began the custom of wearing a carnation.In 1909, Mrs. Dodd from Spokane, Washington, thought of the idea of a day to honor fathers. She wanted to honor her own father, William Smart. After her mother died, he had the responsibility of raising a family of five sons and a daughter. In 1910, the first Fathers Day was observed in Spokane. Senator Margaret Chase Smith helped to established Fathers Day as a national commemorative （ 纪念）day, in 1972.These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mothers Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes ( 象征) a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is deadMany people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery. On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Fathers Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.27According to the passage, which of the following about the second Sunday in May is not true ? AIt is a day to show love to mothers BIt is a day to wear carnations CIt is a day for people to visit the cemetery DIt is a day for many people to attend religious services28Who plays the most important role in Fathers Day becoming a national commemorative day? AMrs. Dodd BMargaret Chase Smith CAnn Jarvis DWoodrow Wilson29From the passage, we know in the U.S _. Aone should wear a red carnation if ones mother pass away Bon Mothers Day, families often go out to have barbecues Con Fathers Day, people often stay at home to celebrate the special day. DThe purpose to have these two special days is to show love to parents30The authors purpose of writing this passage is to _ Acall on people to love and respect their parents. Bintroduce Mothers Day and Fathers Day. Ctell the difference between Mothers Day and Fathers Day Dshow how important fathers and mothers are第二节：七选五（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。The iPon GenerationToday it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they goThey move about in their personal bubbles, sometimes unaware of whats happening around them31 Outside life is shut outSo are you one of them?For me; walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect 32 Whats even better, wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says; Im not available for chatting at the moment jSuppose, youre at work and about to make an incredible breakthrough? but a colleague suddenly turns upAt this precise moment, the slightest disturbance would break your concentration33 Once again, those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that Go away! signal34 Its probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole familyWhile their mothers give them lectures about why they should do their YesMum Problem solvedPretty soon, not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our ears-but also our brains will be directly plugged into some new high-tech instrumentWell be in a virtual （虚拟的） world, communicating with everyone else, or choosing not to, as we likeIn this world, we will all be permanently plugged in35 And they are changing our social habits along the wayIn the end, there is a thin line between using technology as a tool for making life better and being a slave to it!
