第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
A few weeks ago, Yuan Chaojun quit his well-paid job with a trading company in Shanghai and started teaching people how to “escape from rooms”.
Room escape is a real-life adventure game, during which “imprisoned” players are required to escape from “dungeons”, “prisons” and mysterious cells by solving puzzles and connecting clues in a fixed period of time. Stress relief is one of the major reasons why these games are so popular. Mixed with excitement, challenges and fear of the unknown, the game allows people to play different roles and experience another life for a short time.
Room escape has become popular in China, attracting people from all walks of life. The games often require group thinking, making it a good alternative for company team-building activities.
Ye Kai works for a film production company. He and colleagues recently took on a room escape game called “Assassin”, and only made it out “with the help of everyone”.
“The game gave me a strong sense of involvement and teamwork,” Ye said. “I will definitely come back and try other themes.”
In Shanghai alone, more than 200 locations offer these adventures. Across the country thousands of such escape rooms with various themes have sprung up.
But escape games are not without their critics. According to a report, a venue (场馆) opened in a basement in a residential area in Shanghai’s Jingan district recently, attracting a large number of devotees (热爱者) to the area. As the door to the community is now constantly open, some residents have been left annoyed. “How can our safety be guaranteed if they allow these random strangers into our community freely?” one of the residents complained.
“We are thinking about employing security guards at the entrance to check on our customers,” the game developer said. “We want people to have fun. It was never our intention to disturb the neighborhood.”
1、Room escape games are popular mainly because they .
A．help release pressure B．are exciting and challenging
C．require teamwork D．must be finished in a fixed time
2、To win the game, people are required to .
A．cooperate with each other
B．manage it independently
C．solve puzzles and find clues alone
D．have a strong sense of direction
3、We can infer from Paragraph 7 that some residents .
A．are also fond of the games
B．have left the community
C．are concerned about the safety of their community
D．have great conflicts with the devotees
4、What is the best title of the passage?
A．Experience another life
B．How to escape from reality
C．An alternative team-building activity
D．Games offer an escape from stress

B
My house is made out of wood, glass and stone. It is also made out of software.
If you come to visit, you’ll 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 it’s 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 I’ve put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I’ve 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?”
1、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.
2、What's 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.
3、The writer’s new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because .
A．it has been controlled by computers
B．you can make a telephone call anywhere
C．it has your favorite music following you
D．the writer is able to change his new idea into practice
4、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.
