1.One morning,my husband Jerry went back to the kitchen as he just finished loading his car."I guess filling my thermos(保溫瓶) is all that I have left to do,and then I'm off."Down the drain(下水道) went the hot water that had been warming his thermos.
With a nostalgic(懷舊的) look on his face,he softly said:"Anytime I fill my thermos I think of your mom."The tone in his voice was so tender(溫柔的) as he spoke of my mother,who is sadly no longer with us.
"Oh honey,I know she's watching and listening right now with a big smile on her face,"I responded,tears in my eyes.
One morning years ago when we were leaving,mother watched as Jerry was to fill his thermos.Mom then casually said,‘Jerry,if you filled your thermos with hot water and let it sit a while,your coffee would stay hot for longer then."With her simple suggestion,his face showed that he was shocked by his own lack of common sense.Well,of course it would!
He poured out the small amount of coffee already in the thermos and refilled it with boiling hot water.Then he poured the water and refilled it with hot coffee.Mom smiled as Jerry did so.
Words of wisdom from a loving mother-in-law made an impact(影響) that will never be forgotten.She never dreamed her words would be a treasured and everlasting memory in the heart of her son-in-law.
The lasting memories don't necessarily come from major moments in life.Memories are often made during those small,ordinary times.Life is about small moments we share with friends and loved ones.
1.Which word best describes the author's feeling in Paragraph 3?D
A.Concerned         
B.Confused         
C.Interested         
D.Touched
2.The underlined part"don't necessarily"is similar in meaning toB.
A.out of the question                      
B.possibly but uncertainly
C.certainly and absolutely                  
D.without any doubt
3.The message that the story intends to convey(傳達(dá)) isA.
A.that lasting memories come from small things
B.how valuable a mother's advice is to her children.
C.what a wise woman the mother is to her son-in-law
D.why we should respect our parents and listen to them.

分析 本文講述了生活中一些永恒的時(shí)刻,生活就是我們與朋友和所愛的人分享的小瞬間.

解答 1.D.觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題.根據(jù)文章第二段作者丈夫?qū)υ滥妇拺阎Z以及第三段作者聽到丈夫話的反應(yīng)"I responded,tears in my eyes."可知,此時(shí)此刻作者被丈夫的重情感動(dòng)得流淚.故D項(xiàng)正確.
2.B.詞義猜測題.文章最后一段告訴我們,持久的記憶并不總是留在生活中的重大時(shí)刻.而常常是與朋友或愛人在一起的普通短暫的時(shí)刻.故A項(xiàng)正確.without any doubt意為"毫無疑問地";certainly and absolutely意味"絕對(duì)地,肯定地";out of the question意為"毫無疑問地".故選B.
3.A.主旨大意題.岳母對(duì)女婿生活上一個(gè)充滿愛意的小建議,讓女婿感動(dòng)不已,銘刻在心.作者想表達(dá)的是:持久的記憶常常留在生活中的小事情上.故A項(xiàng)正確.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本篇閱讀較為簡單.文章內(nèi)容,所出題目以及選項(xiàng)也較短,因此考生只要閱讀詳略結(jié)合,細(xì)心理解,就能快速得出正確答案.

16.Americans use many expressions with the word dog.People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well.They take their dogs for walks,let them play outside and give them good food and medical care.However,dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life.The expression,to lead a dog's life,describes a person who has an unhappy life.
Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world.That means many people are competing for the same things,like good jobs.They say that to be successful,a person has to work like a dog.This means they have to work very,very hard.Such hard work can make people dog-tired.And,the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.
Still,people say every dog has its day.This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life.To be successful,people often have to learn new skills.Yet,some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks.They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.
Some people are compared to dogs in bad ways.People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog.Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want.But mean dogs are often used to guard this property.They bark or attack people who try to enter the property.However,sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad.We say his bark is worse than his bite.
Dog expressions also are used to describe the weather.The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year.A rainstorm may cool the weather.But we do not want it to rain too hard.We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.
28.A person who lives an unhappy life can be described as"B".
A.becoming sick as a dog 
B.leading a dog's life  
C.living in a dog-eat-dog world  
D.Working like a dog
29.The underlined word"mean in Paragraph 4most probably means"C".
A.wild        
B.selfish          
C.violent        
D.Poor
30.What can we learn from the text?D
A.Everyone can be successful if he learns from the old.
B.It might be difficult for the young to learn new skills.
C.Junkyard dogs are careful in money arrangement.

6.Thanks to this new hands free suitcase,carrying around heavy luggage may soon become a thing of the past.Designed by Israeli company NUA Robotics,this"smart"suitcase can follow you everywhere you go.
The carry-on suitcase,currently a prototype(雛形),connects to a smartphone app via  bluetooth.It has a built-in camera sensor that can"see"you and follow you around on flat surfaces like airport floors.It comes with an anti-theft alarm to prevent someone carrying it away when you're not looking,and it has a backup battery(備用電池) that you can use to charge(充電) all your devices.
"It can follow and carry things for people around while communicating with their smartphone,and avoiding obstacles,"explained Alex Libman,founder of NUA Robotics."We're combining sensor network,computer vision,and robotics.So if you download our app,press the‘follow me'button,the luggage recognizes its user and knows to follow and communicate."
NUA is still testing the device and trying improve features like speed and customization(客戶定制),but they hope to make the suitcase available to customers in a year's time.If it proves successful,they want to use the Bluetooth pairing technology to automate(使自動(dòng)化) lots of other devices,like shopping carts at the supermarket.These devices are especially meant to be useful to the physically disabled and elderly."Any object can be smart and robotic,"Libman told Mashable."We want to bring robots into everyday life."
The Israeli tech company made it clear that the finished product will look just like a regular suitcase.They're planning to partner with a carry-on luggage maker,since the device that makes it"smart"weighs just 2.5pounds and can be fixed on old-fashion luggage.
With NUA'S smart suitcase,carrying around heavy luggage isn't a burden.But how their invention will handle tough obstacles like stairs?It will be interesting to wait.
25.According to the passage the"smart"suitcaseC.
A.can go everywhere it would like to go
B.is on sale now in the market
C.can make our hands free during traveling 
D.was designed by Alex Libman
26.If you want to use this free hand suitcase,you mustA.
A.download the app    
B.a(chǎn)void obstacles
C.look at it all the time 
D.carry a camera
27.What can we learn about NUA?C
A.It was a company which was founded by Mashable.
B.It has improved the features of the device up to now.
C.It wants to bring more smart and robotic devices into daily life.
D.It will make the suitcase available to customers in a month.

10.We have met the enemy,and he is ours.We bought him at a pet shop.When monkey-pox,a disease usually found in the African rain forest,suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest,it's hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings."Most of the infections(感染) we think of as human infections staned in other animals,"says Stephen Morse,director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University.
It's not just that we're going to where the animals are;we're also bringing them closer to us.Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country.A strange illness killed Isaksen's pets,and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea."I don't think it's fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them,"says Isaksen.
"Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing,"says Peter Schantz.Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call.Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners.We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug(病毒) may be kind at first.But it may develop into something harmful,(有害的). Monkey-pox doesn't look a major infectious disease.But it is not.impossible to pass the disease from person to person.

29.We learn from Paragraph l that the pet sold at the shop mayB.
A.come from Columbia       
B.suffer from monkey-pox
C.enjoy being with children   
D.prevent us from being infected
30.Why did Isaksen advise people not to have foreign pets?A
A.We do not know much about them yet.
B.We need to study native animals.
C.They can't live out of the rain forest.
D.They attack human beings.
31.What does the phrase"the wake-up call''in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?C
A.a(chǎn) new disease        
B.a(chǎn) dangerous animal
C.a(chǎn) clear warning       
D.a(chǎn) morning call
32.The text suggests that in the future we.B
A.may easily get infected by diseases from dogs
B.may have to fight against more new diseases
C.should not be allowed to have pets

17.Your glasses may someday replace your smartphone,and some New Yorkers are ready for the switch.Some in the city can't wait to try them on and use the maps and GPS that the futuristic eyewear is likely to include.
"I'd use it if I were hanging out with friends at 3a.m.a(chǎn)nd going to the bar and wanted to see what was open,"said Walter Choo,40,of Fort Greene.
The smartphone-like glasses will likely come out this year and cost between﹩250and﹩600,the Times said,possibly including a variation of augmented(增強(qiáng)的) reality,a technology already available on smartphones and tablets (平板電腦) that overlays information onto the screen about one's surroundings.So,for example,if you were walking down a street,indicators would pop up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you.
"As far as a mainstream consumer product,this just isn't something anybody needs,"said Sam Biddle,who writes for Gizmodo.com."We're accustomed to having one thing in our pocket to do all these things,"he added,"and the average consumer isn't gonna be able to afford another device (裝置) that's hundreds and hundreds of dollars."
Google publisher Seth Weintraub,who has been reporting on the smartphone-like glasses since late last year,said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as common as smartphones.
"It's just like smartphones 10years ago,"Weintraub said."A few people started getting emails on their phones,and people thought that was crazy.Same kind of thing.We see people bending their heads to look at their smartphones,and it's unnatural,"he said."There's gonna be improvements to that,and this a step there."

29.One of the possible functions of the smartphone-like glasses is toC.
A.program the opening hours of a bar
B.supply you with a picture of the future
C.provide information about your surroundings
D.update the maps and GPS in your smartphones
30.The underlined phrase"pop up"in the third paragraph probably means"C".
A.develop rapidly
B.get round quickly
C.a(chǎn)ppear immediately
D.go over automatically
31.According to Sam Biddle,the smartphone-like glasses areD.
A.necessary for teenagers
B.a(chǎn)ttractive to New Yorkers
C.a(chǎn)vailable to people worldwide
D.expensive for average consumers
32.We can learn from the last two paragraphs that the smartphone-like glassesA.
A.may have a potential market
B.a(chǎn)re as common as smartphones
C.a(chǎn)re popular among young adults
D.will be improved by a new technology.
