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?”‎ ‎28. 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.‎ ‎29. 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.‎ ‎30. 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[来源:学科网ZXXK]‎ C. it has your favorite music following you D. the writer is able to change his new idea into practice ‎31. 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.‎ D No one is sure where and when the expression "apple-pie order" began. It’s said that the housewives of New England liked to cut their apples in pieces. Then they filled pie pans with them in an organized way, row upon row. As one writer said, the women of New England loved to have everything in its place. This perhaps explains why it generally is believed that "apple-pie order" began in New England.‎ Another old expression, "apple of discord", comes from ancient myth（神话），however. The myth says that all the gods and goddesses were sitting around the table to celebrate the marriage of Thetis and Peleus. One of the goddesses-Discord was a troublemaker. She threw away a golden apple on the table to be given as a prize to the most beautiful goddess.‎ At one time, the tomato was called a love apple. That was a mistake. In the sixteenth century, Spain brought the tomato from South America. Spain then sold the tomato to Morocco. Italian traders carried it on to Italy. The Italian name for the tomato was "pomo di Moro"-apple of the Moors. When French growers brought it in from Italy,‎ ‎ they thought "di Moro" meant "d'amour"-the French word for love. And so "pomo di Moro" became the apple of love.‎ People believe many things about the apple. One belief is that it has great power of keeping people healthy. A very common expression is "an apple a day keeps the doctor away. "‎ Another belief is based on fact. The expression is "one rotten apple spoils the barrel." When an apple begins to go bad, it ruins all the other apples around it in the box. The expression has come to mean that one bad person in a group can cause everyone to act bad.‎ ‎32. Which of the following can we know about the phrase "apple-pie order"?‎ A. It began in New England. [来源:学*科*网Z*X*X*K]‎ B. Nobody’s sure where and when it began.‎ C. Everyone is sure of where it began. ‎ D. It has been put into use recently. ‎ ‎33. What's the meaning of "apple of discord"?‎ A. Cause of disagreement. B. Situation of danger.‎ C. Everything in agreement. D. Everything in good order.‎ ‎34. What's the purpose of the third paragraph?‎ A. To show us a mistaken idea. ‎ B. To tell us a love story about apple.‎ C. To explain how the tomato was called the apple of love.‎ D. To show how the tomato was brought in from south America.‎ ‎35. Which of the following expressions is about health?‎ A. Apple of discord. B. Apple-pie order.‎ C. One rotten apple spoils the barrel. D. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. ‎ 第二节 （共5小题，每小题1.5分，满分7.5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。‎ Being a teenager can be difficult. “Troubled” and “rebellious(叛逆的)” are often labels（标签） that people give kids in their teens. There are even scientific theories explaining that the likelihood of teenagers taking is due to the fact that their brains aren’t fully developed yet. 36 ‎ But a new study by researches at the University of Pennsylvania and Cornell University may have finally cleared up this misunderstanding. 37 They simply are easily attracted by new things and are eager to explore the world.‎ The adolescents(青少年) lack experience. 38 This personality trait(特征)is called “sensation seeking”, which is shared by a lot of people and usually peaks（达到顶峰） during adolescence.‎ Instead of being something to worry about, sensation seeking is actually necessary, since the process of learning usually goes hand in hand with taking risks. "Teenagers need to build experience so that they can do a better job in making the difficult and risky decisions in later life. ‘Should I take this job? or ‘ 39 ’ ”said Valerie Reyna, co –author of the study.‎ ‎“40 If they don't make a mistake in their teenage years, they will have no life experience when they turn 18 and step out of their parents' protection and into a world that 's unknown to them. Kids need the freedom to test out their limits while still in a safe environment,” wrote Ann Robinson, editor of The Guardian.‎ A. Should I marry this person?‎ B. It turns out that teenagers are fine.‎ C. Adolescents should do as follows:‎ D. What can parents do to help the kids?‎ E. There is something scarier than taking a risk.‎ F. In other words, they just can’t help it.‎ G. Therefore, they keep trying things out for the first time in their life.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）‎ When I close my eyes and think about China and my life there, it’s like a 41 . ‎ I was 22 when I first 42 at the Beijing Capital International Airport in 2009.
