Well, then, suppose my auto-repair man  __41 questions for some intelligence tests. By  every one of them I'd prove myself a __42. In a world where I have to work with my__43  , I'd do poorly.

36.根據(jù)賓語an intelligence test和下文中所得分數(shù)160分，可以確定作者“參加了一次智力測驗”，而不是沒有通過智力測驗。在遇到完形填空的選項是動詞時，要根據(jù)上下文仔細分析動詞與賓語的搭配關(guān)系。答案為C。 
37.against在這里表示對比關(guān)系，平均成績(an average)100分與作者得到的160分相比較，說明作者的智力水平高，為下文自己被一個他估計在這種智力測驗中可能得不到80分的汽車修理工提出的問題難住了的故事埋下伏筆。答案為A。 
38.根據(jù)所提供的情境“when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him”可以判斷出這位汽車修理工不是一名軍人，他沒有參加上文提到的那次智力測驗，這是作者的估計，所以要填possibly。同時，“could not+have+過去分詞”表示“(過去)不可能”，也對正確選擇作了提示。frequently表“頻繁”，“經(jīng)�！薄２缓项}意。答案為B。 
39.Yet是并列連詞，表示轉(zhuǎn)折，意思是“然而”。在智力測試中不可能得高分，但是，在修理汽車方面卻很在行。答案為D。 
40.fixed的意思是“安裝、固定”。不言而喻，汽車修理工的工作是修理汽車，每當(dāng)作者的汽車出了毛病急急忙忙去找他時，他都能把汽車修理好。checked的意思是“檢查”，只檢查解決不了問題。選項C和D都不是汽車修理工的職責(zé)，容易排除。答案為A。
41.designed的意思是“設(shè)計”。假設(shè)我的汽車修理工為智力測驗設(shè)計題目。根據(jù)questions的定語for some intelligence tests很容易排除其他三個選項。介詞for的意思是“為了”。答案為C。 
42.根據(jù)下文中這位汽車修理工的話“Why,you fool,”可以確定答案為D。
43.從上下文可以看出作者是一名智商很高的醫(yī)生，是腦力勞動者。比較I'd do poorly.，可知作者假設(shè)用自己的雙手工作，會做得很差。where I have to work with my hands是定語從句，作world的定語。I'd do poorly.是虛擬語氣。答案為C。
44.第二段作者談?wù)摿怂钠囆蘩砉ぴ谥橇y驗中可能得比較低的分數(shù)，但是，在修理汽車方面卻很在行。第三段是作者對自己如果從事體力勞動可能會很差的假設(shè)。所以，在第四段再次講述修理工的故事，要用again。答案為A。
45.下文所講述的聾啞人買釘子和盲人買剪刀的事都是笑話(jokes)。tales的意思是“傳說，謊言”。答案為B。
46. needed作行為動詞的意思是“需要”。needed some nails是這位聾啞人進入商店的原因。選項A(bought)有很大的迷惑性。一些考生認為這位聾啞人到商店的目的是買釘子，所以應(yīng)填bought。但是，bought some nails(買了一些釘子)表示結(jié)果，如果他買了釘子，就不會再進入商店了。答案為D。 
47.因為這位聾啞人到商店買釘子，所以他把兩只手指放在柜臺上作夾釘子的動作，另一只手做錘子敲打的動作(hammering movements)。答案為B。 
48.售貨員給他拿出了錘子，他搖了搖頭，表示售貨員誤解了他的意思。答案為C。 
49.售貨員給他拿出了釘子。packed的意思是“包裝”；sent的意思是“送”；sold的意思是“賣”。都與下文中所提的情境He picked out the right size and left.不符。答案為A。 
50.下一個進來的是一位盲人。the other man的意思是“剩下的另一個”，表示只有兩個人。the right man的意思是“合適的人”。the clever man的意思是“聰明的人”。都與上下文的意思不符。答案為D。
51.這是一個特殊疑問句。do you suppose是插入語。he asked for them是一個完整的句子，所以不能填What, Who或Which，它們在特殊疑問句中都充當(dāng)主語、賓語或表語。How表示方式，意思是“如何”。答案為B。 
52.盲人會說話，他們買東西時用自己的話語表達自己的意思就可以了。voice的意思是“說話的聲音”。答案為C。
53.我今天用這個故事耍弄了我的所有顧客。trying sth. on sb.的意思是“用某事耍弄某人”；proving的意思是“證明”；practising作及物動詞的意思是“練習(xí)，實行”；examining的意思是“檢查，考試”。答案為A。 
54.for sure的意思是“肯定地，有把握地”。汽車修理工在下文中所說的話說明他有把握使作者上當(dāng)受騙。at one的意思是“馬上，立刻”；in fact的意思是“事實上”；right now的意思是“就在現(xiàn)在”，均不合語意。答案為A。 
55.smart除了有“聰明，伶俐”的意思外，還有“滑頭，詭”的意思。從上文的內(nèi)容我們可以看出，作者是一位醫(yī)生，在部隊里的一次智力測驗中得過高分，但是，正因為如此，他才會按常規(guī)思維，所以汽車修理工說：“因為你受過足夠的教育，我知道你不可能很滑頭�！眊oddamned表示褒義時，意思是“十分的，完全的”；表示貶義時，意思是“該死的，討厭的”。答案為D。

The home of the future won’t be completely different and we will be living in houses and flats just as we do today. But people will want to shape their homes to match their dreams. No two homes will be the same. People will be able to buy “house kits” containing a basic house structure, with movable walls, doors and windows. They will put together the different parts to create the home they want.
Many jobs that we do today will disappear, others will still exist but will change and new jobs will be created. Skilled workers such as builders, gardeners and electricians won’t disappear because machines can’t replace them. Teachers will still exist because students need human contact. But they will be using modern technology in class more and students will be working more from home. The medical technology revolution and space travel will create new jobs which we can only imagine today.
Space holidays will develop in the future, but these holidays won’t be for everyone because they won’t be cheap. Short space trips will develop first, then space hotels will orbit the earth where it will be possible to have a longer vacation. By the end of the next century, there will be holiday centres on the moon with leisure facilities for families.
Paper won’t exist in the future. Instead, there will be e-paper which people will be able to use over and over again. This will develop in order to save natural resources. E-newspapers and e-magazines will replace traditional newspapers and magazines and we will download information and news articles from the Internet every day onto our reuseable paper.
The laws of physics tell us that the earth is going to disappear some time in the future. This isn’t going to happen tomorrow but scientists predict that it will happen in five billion years when our sun explodes（爆炸）.We will have to explore the universe and find another home. At some point in the distant future, either we stay on the earth and die with it, or we leave and move to another planet. There won’t be any other choice.
60．Homes of the future will ________.
A．be completely different from those of today.
B．be very similar to our homes

As any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more.
Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping (錄像) the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents’ efforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. “In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the children’s IQ scores,” Lewis says. “And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is.”
The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings (兄弟姐妹). Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. “Middle children are invisible,” says Lewis. “When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are it’s the middle child.” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: “When the TV is on,” Lewis says, “dinner is a non-event.”
66．The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to _________.
A．show the relationship between parents and children
B．teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner table
C．report on the findings of a study
D．give information about family problems
67．Parents with large families ask fewer questions at dinner because ____________.
A．they are busy serving food to their children
B．they are busy keeping order at the dinner table
C．they have to pay more attention to younger children
D．they are tired out having prepared food for the whole family
68．By saying “Middle children are invisible” in Paragraph 3, Lewis means that middle children _________.
A．have to help their parents to serve dinner
B．get the least attention from the family
C．a(chǎn)re often kept away from the dinner table
D．find it hard to keep up with other children
69．Lewis’ research provides an answer to the question _________.
A．why TV is important in family life
B．why parents should keep good order
C．why children in small families seem to be quieter
D．why middle children seem to have more difficulties in life
70．Which of the following statements would the writer agree to?
A．It is important to have the right food for children.
B．It is a good idea to have the TV on during dinner.
C．Parents should talk to each of their children frequently.
D．Elder children should help the younger ones at dinner

    The angry locals of an English village blocked the driver of a Google Street View car who was
filming the neighborhood, saying they feared he world encourage thieves, a report said Friday.
One local, Paul Jacobs, told the BBC he had warned his neighbors after spotting the car from
his window in Broughton, Buckinghamshire, southern England, on Wednesday.
“I don’t have a problem with Google wanting to promote villages. What I have a problem with
is the invasion （侵犯）of privacy, taking pictures directly into the home,” Jacobs said.
“We’ve already had three homes broken into locally in the past six weeks. If our houses are
made noticeable all over Google, it’s an invitation for more criminals to strike. I was determined to
make a stand, so I called the police.”
After his call, a police car arrived in Broughton in response to an argument between a crowd of people and a Google Street View contractor.
“They felt his presence was a threat to their privacy. When police arrived at the scene, the car had moved on,” explained a spokeswoman for Thames Valley Police.
The Google Street View project, set up last month in Britain, aims to provide detailed 360-degree views online of streets all over Britain.
The project has already been strongly criticized by associations like Privacy International, a pressure group which has launched legal action against the IT company.
Google is confident that their new mapping project is within the law.
“Before launching Street View we sought the guidance and approval of the Information Commissioner’s Office. The ICO has repeatedly made clear that it believes that Street View includes the safeguards necessary to protect people’s privacy,” a Google spokesman said.
“The Metropolitan Police （in London） told us they saw no significant security risk, that thieves are likely to make use of the opportunities, and that mapping products can be useful in solving and mapping crime in an area.”
He added: “Engaged in new projects, we sometimes meet unexpected challenges, and Street View has been no exception.”
41．When the police car arrived at the village,           .
A．the villagers were angrily arguing with the Google car driver.
B．the map car was stopped from leaving the village.
C．The map car had stopped its working and gone on its way.
D．The map car was surrounded by the angry villagers.
42．The underlined phrase “make a stand” in Paragraph 4 means       .
A．stand there all the time whole waiting for the police
B．show full support to Google’s filming the neighborhood
C．a(chǎn)ttempt to defend locals by stopping Google’s filming the neighborhood
D．stand in the way to stop the car moving on
43．Which of the following sentences is TRUE?
A．Google’s mapping project has not been officially approved.
B．Three homes had been visited by thieves with the help of Google pictures.
C．The police rushed to stop a fight between locals and Google contractors.
D．It was not the first time that the Google map project had been criticized.
44．What’s the best title for the passage?
A．Google’s Mapping Project Promotes the Neighobrohood.
B．Angry British Villagers Stop Google Maps Car.
C．Google Goes On With its Plan to Film the Streets.
D．New Project Meets Challenges Again.
