3.Welcome to your future life!
You get up in the morning and look into the mirror.Your face is firm and young-looking.In 2035,medical technology is better than ever.Many people your age could live to be 150,so at 40,you're not old at all.And your parents just had an anti-aging (抗衰老的) treatment.Now,all three of you look the same age!
You say to your shirt,"Turn red."It changes from blue to red.In 2035,"smart clothes"contain particles (粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body.The particles can be programmed to change your clothes'color or pattern.
You walk into the kitchen.You pick up the milk,but a voice says,"You shouldn't drink that!"Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk,and it knows the milk is old.In 2035,every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.
It's time to go to work.In 2025,cars drive themselves.Just tell your"smart car"where to go.On the way,you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve.Such"smart technology"is all around you.
So will all these things come true?"For new technology to succeed,"says scientist Andrew Zolli,"it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already."The Internet is one example-what will be the next?

18.Animal experimentation is the backbone(支柱,基礎(chǔ)) of American research and treatment of disease.Each year,17million to 22million animals are sacrificed in the name of science.While 90percent of them are rats and mice,180,000dogs,50,000cats,61,000monkeys and 554,000rabbits are done away with in laboratories operated by industry and government.
But the public has raised an outcry(導(dǎo)致抗議) over these deaths.Spurred(驅(qū)策,刺激) vivid(生動的) reports of cruelty,the animal rights movement is made up of 7,000organizations with 10million members.They've documented cases in which monkeys were isolated(隔離) in steel tanks(箱、柜) for 45days and dogs were bombarded(轟擊、輻射) with radiation or chemicals until they bled from the mouth.
Scientists say such incidents are rare.Laws have been passed to govern testing.Many research centers now have committees to review all proposed animal experiments,and computers can be used in place of animals in many experiments.But scientists say they can't do without animals to test new drugs and treatments on animals to make sure they're safe for humans.Animal experiments produced vaccines(疫苗) or treatments for diseases such as diabetes(糖尿。,and techniques used in open heart surgery.They're important to efforts to find a treatment for AIDS.
Animal rights activists have shown they will go to almost any length.One New York researcher received more than 10,000protest(抗議) letters following publicity of her experiments in which she gave drugs to monkeys.The researcher was studying drug addiction.A protester was arrested in Connecticut for placing a pipe bomb(鐵管土炸藥)outside a company that used animals in tests.After fires and break-ins,many labs have bought electronic locks and alarms for protection.Other targets of the animal rights movement are the fur industry,farms,and school biology classes in which children dissect(解剖) frogs.
The movement has scored some successes.A dozen states no longer allow pounds(獸欄)──places that accept dogs and cats that have no homes──to sell animals to scientists.Scientists claim the cost of their work will rise as a result.
The battle between scientists and activists raises a basic question:Can modern society be both humane(仁慈的) in its treatment of living things and advanced in its treatment of disease?It seems certain there will be new restrictions placed on the use of animals in scientific experiments.
58.The main idea of the article isA.
A.fewer animals should be taken to laboratories
B.Americans are questioning the use of animals in experiments
C.mice and rats make the best subjects for experiments
D.scientific experiments can be carried out without animals
59.Animal experiments will probably continue becauseC.
A.scientists insist they are harmless
B.the groups that oppose them aren't very big or powerful
C.they are critical for understanding and curing human disease
D.there are enough regulations to protect animals from abuse
60.Supporters of animal rights are most convincing when theyD.
A.explode bombs at laboratories that conduct scientific tests
B.point out the diseases that have been cured by scientists
C.threat their own pets kindly
D.give examples of animals that were mistreated in labs
61.Scientists will be satisfied only ifA.
A.they can continue using animals in their experiments
B.the animal rights movement comes to a stop.
C.they install locks and alarms on their labs
D.their supply of animals is increased significantly.

8.From good reading we can derive pleasure,companionship,experience,and instruction.A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even our identity.Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life.It increases our contentment when we are cheerful,and lessens our troubles when we are sad.Whatever may be our main purpose in reading,our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction.
With a good book in our hands we need never be lonely.Whether the characters portrayed are taken from real life or are purely imaginary,they may become our companions and friends.In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times.The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends whom we hold dear or because they present unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances.Our human friends sometimes may bore us,but the friends we make in books need never weary us with their company.By turning the page we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feelings.When human friends desert us,good books are always ready to give us friendship,sympathy,and encouragement.
One of the most valuable gifts bestowed by books is experience.Few of us can travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences,but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books.Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off place,a book will help us when nothing else can.To travel by book we need no bank account to pay our way; no airship or ocean liner or stream-lined train to transport us; no passport to enter the land of our heart's desire.Through books we may get the thrill of hazardous adventure without danger.We can climb lofty mountains,brave the perils of an Antarctic winter,or cross the scorching sands of the desert,all without hardship.In books we may visit the studios of Hollywood; we may mingle with the gay throngs of the Paris boulevards; we may join the picturesque peasants in an Alpine village or the kindly natives on a South Sea island.Indeed,through books the whole world is ours for the asking.The possibilities of our literary experiences are almost unlimited.The beauties of nature,the enjoyment of music,the treasures of art,the triumphs of architecture,the marvels of engineering,are all open to the wonder and enjoyment of those who read.
43.Why is it that we sometimes forget our surroundings and even our identity while reading?B
A.No one has come to disturb you.
B.The book you are reading is so interesting and attractive.
C.Everything is so quiet and calm around you.
D.Your book is overdue; you are finishing it at a very fast speed.
44.How would you account for the fact that people like their acquaintances in books even more?C
A.They resemble human friends exactly.B.They are unfamiliar types we like.
C.They never desert us.D.They never hurt our feelings.
45.Which of the following is true?C
A.Your wish to visit some far-off place can be realized through the pages of the books.

C.You may obtain valuable experience from reading good books.
D.Books can always help you to live a colorful life.

12.Losing a baby tooth can be fun for a kid.You can put it under your pillow and look forward to finding some money there in the morning.And then you can watch your new permanent(永恒的) tooth grow in its place.
But if a permanent tooth falls out,that's a problem.There isn't another one under the gum(齒齦) that can replace it.Unfortunately,this happens to some older people.And if permanent teeth fall out or need to be pulled,an older person might need dentures(假牙).
Dentures,known as false teeth,are a set of replacement teeth for any teeth that are missing.There are partial dentures,which take the place of only a few teeth and prevent the others from changing position.If all the teeth are gone,the person would need complete dentures,which replace every tooth in the mouth.
Dentures can cause pains at first and take little time to get adjusted to.They also need special care.They should be brushed daily with a special denture brush and cleanser and soaked(浸泡) in denture solution when not in the mouth.
Dentures are important for the old because,without teeth,it's hard to smile,talk,and eat properly.But it can be a little weird if you see someone take out his or her dentures.It can also be strange to see someone,like a grandparent,without dentures in because he or she won't have any teeth.Try not to make fun of the person because this could cause hurt feelings.
People usually lose their permanent teeth due to periodontal disease(牙周炎),or gum disease,which is caused by bacteria that attacks the gums.Diseased gums aren't strong and healthy,so teeth can get loose and fall out.Older people often have many cavities(洞) that have been filled over the years,and these fillings can weaken over time,leading to more tooth problems.
54.If one of your baby teeth falls out,you.C
A.should have a false tooth fixed in its place  B.have to put it under your pillow at once
C.will gain a permanent tooth in future   D.can exchange it for some money
55.A person wearing dentures.C
A.should brush them with a special denture brush every few days
B.will take a very long time to adjust himself or herself to them
C.will experience unpleasant feelings at the beginning of fixing them
D.should use denture solution to soak them in his or her mouth
56.What does the underlined word"weird"mean in the fifth paragraph?C
A.inconvenientB.excited   C.uncomfortable  D.impolite.
