阅读理解。      A new study suggests that the roundtheclock(24小时的)availability that cell phones
have brought to people"s lives may be taking_a_toll_on family life.The study,which followed
more than 1,300 adults over 2 years, found that those who consistently used a mobile phone
throughout the study period were more likely to report negative "spillover" between work and
home life-and,in turn,less satisfaction with their family life.
     Spillover essentially(本质上)means that the line between work and home begins to become
unclear.Work life may invade home life when a parent is taking jobrelated calls at home,for
instance-or family issues may start to take up work time.For example,a child may call mum at
work,telling her "microwave exploded",explained Noelle Chesley,an assistant professor of
sociology at the University of WisconsinMilwaukee and the author of the study. The problem
with cell phones seems to be that they are allowing for even more spillover between work and
home.
      This may be especially true for working women,the study found. Among men,consistent use
of mobile phones seemed to allow more work issues to creep (潜入)into family time.But for
women,the spillover tended to go in both directions. Being "connected" meant that work cut into
home time,and family issues came into work life.
       Cell phones seem to be opening more lines for stressful exchanges among family members.
But there may be ways to control the spillover,according to Chesley.Employers, she said,could
look at their policies on contacting employees after hours to make sure their expectations are
"reasonable"．For their part,employees could decide that cell phones go off during family time,
Chesley said.1．What does the underlined phrase "taking a toll on" probably mean in Paragraph 1A．Explaining.
B．Founding.
C. Damaging.
D．Extending2．According to Chesley,what is the best solution to the problem caused by cell phones?A．Refuse to use cell phones.
B. Separate work hours from family time.
C. Ignore coming calls during family time.
D. Encourage women to stay at home.3．We can learn from the passage that ________.A．cell phones make the line between work and home unclear
B．cell phones seem to be convenient to families
C．cell phones affect men as much as women
D．we can do nothing to solve the problem4．What is the main idea of the passage?A．How to control the negative spillover caused by cell phones.
B. Cell phones cause negative "spillover" between work life and home life.
C. Consistent use of cell phones makes people feel less satisfied with their work.
D. How work life invades home life.

     The regular use of text messages and emails can lower the IQ more than twice as much
as smoking marijuana(大麻). That is the claim of psychologists who have found that tapping
away on a mobile phone or computer keypad or checking_them_for_electronic_messages
_temporarily_knocks_up_to_ten_points_off_the_user"s_IQ.
     This rate of decline in intelligence compares unfavorably with the fourpoint drop in IQ
associated with smoking marijuana, according to British researchers, who have labeled(把
……称为)the fleeting phenomenon of enhanced stupidity as "infomania"．
     The noticeable drop in IQ is believed to be the result of the constant distraction of "always
on" technology when employees should be concentrating on what they are paid to do. Infomania
means that they lose concentration as their minds remain fixed in an almost permanent state of
readiness to react to technology instead of focusing on the tasks in hand.
     The brain also finds it hard to deal with keeping lots of tasks in motion at once, reducing its
overall effectiveness. While modern technology can have huge benefits, excessive(过度的)use
can be damaging not only to a person"s mind, but to his or her social life.
     Eighty volunteers took part in clinical trials on IQ damage and 1,100 adults were interviewed.
     More than six in ten people polled admitted that they were addicted to checking their emails
and text messages so that they examined workrelated ones even when at home or on holiday.
Half said that they always responded immediately to an email and one in five would interrupt a
meeting to do so.
     Furthermore, infomania is having a negative effect on work colleagues, increasing stress and
disagreeing feelings. Nine out of ten polled thought that colleagues who answered emails or
messages during a facetoface meeting were extremely rude. Yet one in three Britons believed
that it was not only acceptable, but actually diligent and efficient to do so.1．What does the underlined part mean?A．A person"s IQ drops ten points if he or she always checks electronic messages.
B. The person who has a higher IQ enjoys checking electronic messages.
C. The person who has a lower IQ enjoys checking electronic messages.
D. A person"s IQ is ten points higher if he or she always checks electronic messages.2．What happens to people with infomania?A．People with infomania can only concentrate on their tasks in hand.
B. People with infomania are addicted to smoking marijuana.
C. People with infomania can"t respond to technology immediately.
D. People with infomania can"t concentrate on their tasks in hand.3. From the passage, we can learn that________.A．about 550 interviewees responded to an email immediately
B. about 670 interviewees responded to an email immediately
C. about 50 taking part in clinical trials on IQ were addicted to checking emails
D. about 16 taking part in clinical trials on IQ refused to answer emails immediately4．What is the main idea of this passage?A．The regular use of text messages and emails can be compared to smoking marijuana.
B. Modern technology can damage a person"s mind.
C. The regular use of text messages and emails can harm your IQ.
D. Electronic messages have side effects on the user"s life.

阅读理解。     A Northern Ireland team is leading a research to develop a thinking computer which can
sense a user"s mood.Researchers at Queen"s University in Belfast hope to complete the 10
million Euro project for an emotionsensitive computer within four years.
     The aim is to enable computers to think and behave more like humans.The Europewide
project is being led by the university"s School of Psychology and involves 160 researchers
from 27 institutions.The university"s researchers developed the scheme and signed the
contract with the European Commission.The academics said the work will build upon attempts
to create "multimodal interfaces (多模式界面)" which allow machines to sense and respond
to the moods of the user.
     Programme leader Professor Roddy Cowie said while it sounds like science fiction, computers
which respond to human emotion will appear in the future."At the moment, our use of computers
is limited by the fact that we need a keyboard and a screen to access them," he said."It would make
a big difference if we could interact with them by speaking normally-perhaps through a microphone
and a transmitter (传感器)．" But emotion is part of normal speech, and experience has shown that
most users are deeply uncomfortable with speech interfaces that ignore it-too uncomfortable to use
them very much."If we can make computers more intuitive (富于直觉的) and expressive, and also
less challenging to use, there is great potential to let people make fuller use of information technology."
     The emotionsensitive computer would have its own "personality" and establish a social relationship
with the user."It"s a fair bet that in 30 years" time, emotionsensitive interfaces will be as much part of
life as windowandmouse interfaces are now," said Professor Cowie.The project team believes such
computers will play a major role in teaching and learning.1．Which of the following statements is TRUE about the project?A．It aims to create an emotionsensitive computer.
B．It can create a 10 million Euro profit.
C．It is led by a Southern Ireland team.
D．It has been completed within four years.2．How will computers sense users" moods?A．Through a screen.
B．Through a keyboard.
C．Through the voice of users.
D．Through multimodal interfaces.3．We can infer from the passage that a person"s emotion________.A．varies from time to time
B．is determined by his own personality
C．plays an important role in normal speech
D．makes people uncomfortable when one is speaking4．What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph?A．Emotionsensitive computers can talk freely as human beings.
B．It will be difficult for people to use emotionsensitive computers.
C．Emotionsensitive computers have been widely used in teaching.
D．It will be common for people to use emotionsensitive computers in the future.

     With the Tesla Roadster and other plugin (插入式) electric vehicles hitting the road, demand is
growing for accessible refueling points to recharge them. Carbon Day Automotive, a Chicagobased
company, has now demonstrated a solarpowered recharging point, known as the Solar PlugIn Station,
which lets motorists easily charge their cars using electricity that has been produced without any
environmental damage.
     The Solar PlugIn Station has gone on show in Chicago as part of the city"s bid to host the 2016
Olympic Games. According to Carbon Day Automotive, the Solar PlugIn Station on show in Chicago is
part of the vital infrastructure(基础设施) required for electric vehicles in Chicago and was the focus of
a recent visit by the International Olympic Committee.
     These solarpowered electricity points will be used daily to fuel the city"s electric vehicles with power
from the sun. By producing the electricity from pollutionfree solar cell, the CO2 emissions are reduced to
zero. "Solar energy and electric vehicles are a partnership that is one more step to reducing our
dependence on foreign oil," says Richard Lowenthal, CEO of Coulomb Technologies. Coulomb
Technologies recently developed the components (部件) required for individual recharging stations,
marketed as ChargePoint Networked Charging Stations. Carbon Day Automotive is the Midwest
distributor for the ChargePoint stations. The Solar PlugIn Station consists of giant solar panels (电池板)
that shade the tiny ChargePoint Networked Charging Station.The solar panel is connected to an
underground battery pack, ready for everyday refueling.
     "Without these stations it would be like driving around in a traditional car without the availability of
gas stations," says Scott Emalfarb, CEO at Carbon Day. "The day of true plugin electric vehicles will be
here sooner than most people realize and the world needs to be ready to accommodate them."1. The Solar PlugIn Station is used as part of the bid to host the Olympics mainly because ________. A. it"s environmentally friendly
B. it makes up for the lack of electricity
C. it’s a new idea and attracts people"s attention
D. it brings convenience to electric vehicle users2. We can learn from the passage that ________. A. to recharge the electric vehicles takes a long time
B. the Solar PlugIn Station will come into use in 2016
C. the Solar PlugIn Station has gone on show internationally
D. Chicago is promoting the use of electric vehicles 3. According to the passage，how many of the following statements are TRUE?
a. Tesla Roadster is a kind of plugin electric vehicle.
b. The Solar PlugIn Station uses solar power to charge all of the cars.
c. Chicago is a city, which is rich in oil.
d. The Solar PlugIn Station consists of underground battery packs.
e. Scott Emalfarb is optimistic about the future of plugin electric vehicles. A. 2.
B. 3.
C. 4.
D. 5. 4. The passage implies that when the Solar PlugIn Station becomes popular，________. A. more visitors will come to Chicago
B. the citizens of Chicago will be able to go to work faster
C. more space for electric vehicles will be needed
D. the cost of electric vehicles will be lower than traditional cars5. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Chicago Will Soon Be Full of Electric Vehicles
B. Chicago Calls on People to Buy Electric Vehicles
C. Chicago Fights for Its Bid to Host the 2016 Olympics
D. Chicago Shows Its Solarpowered Recharging Stations

     They may be just passing your office, computer bag slung (悬挂) over one shoulder. Or they may be
sitting in a car outside it, causally tapping away at a laptop. They look like innocent passers-by. In fact,
they are stealing your corporate secrets.
     Drive-by hacking is the trendy term given to the practice of breaking into wireless computer networks
from outside the buildings that house them. A recent study in the UK, sponsored by RSA Data Security,
found that two-thirds of organizations with wireless networks were risking their data in this way. Security
experts patrolled (巡逻) several streets in the City of London seeking evidence of wireless networks in
operation.
     Of 124 that they identified, 83 were sending data without encrypting（加密）them. Such data could
readily be picked up by a passer-by armed only with a portable computer, a wireless modem and a few
pieces of software that can be freely downloaded from the Internet.
     The data could include sensitive company documents containing valuable information. Or they could
be e-mail identities and passwords that could be used by hackers to log into corporate networks as if
they were legal users.
     Most companies using wireless networking technology do not take even the simplest of measures to
protect their data. Nearly all wireless network technology comes with some basic security features that
need only to be activated (激活) in order to give a minimum level of security, for example, by encrypting
the data being passed over the network.
     Raymon Kruck, business development manager at Check Point Software, a security technology
specialist, believes this could be partly a psychological problem. People see the solid walls of their
building as safeguards and forget that wireless networks can extend up to 200 meters beyond physical
walls.
     Companies without any security at all on their wireless networks make it ridiculously easy for hackers
to break in. Switching on the security that comes with the network technology should be automatic. Then
there are other basic steps a company can take, says Mr. Kruck, such as changing the passwords on the
network from the default (默认) setting.
     Companies can also install firewalls, which form a barrier between the internal network and the public
Internet. They should also check their computer records regularly to spot any abnormal activity, which
might betray the presence of a hacker.1. According to the study sponsored by RSA Data Security, two thirds of the subjects _______. A. had most of their company data stolen
B. depended on wireless computer networks
C. were exposed to drive-by hacking
D. were unaware of the risk of wireless hacking 2. Whichof the following is NOT considered in the study?A. The number of computer hacking incidents.
B. The number of wireless computer networks identified.
C. The way in which data are sent and received.
D. The way in which data are hacked and stolen.3. Most wireless network technology has_________. A. data encryption program
B. password security programs
C. illegal-user detection
D. firewall 4. Raymond Kruck most probably agrees that wireless network security involves ________. A. wireless signal administration
B. changes in user"s awareness
C. users" psychological health
D. stronger physical walls5. The passage is most likely to be seen in a __________             A. book review
B. science fiction
C. textbook
D. computer magazine
