A
It's 2035. You have a job，a family and you're about 40 years old! Welcome to your future life.
Getting ready for work, you pause in front of the mirror. “Turn red，” you say. Your shirt changes from sky blue to deep red.Tiny preprogrammed electronics (智能电子元件) are rearranged in your shirt to change its color. Looking into the mirror, you find it hard to believe you're 40. You look much younger. With amazing advances in medicine, people in your generation may live to be 150 years old.You're not even middleaged!
As you go into the kitchen and prepare to pour your breakfast cereal into a bowl, you hear, “To lose weight, you shouldn't eat that！”from your shoes. They read the tiny electronic code(电子源码)on the cereal box to find out the nutrition details. You decide to listen to your shoes. “Kitchen，what can I have for breakfast？”A list of possible foods appears on the counter as the kitchen checks its food supplies.
“Ready for your trip to space？” you ask your son and daughter. In 2015 only specially trained astronauts went into space—and very few of them. Today anyone can go to space for day trips or longer vacations. Your best friend even works in space.Handing your children three strawberries each, you add, “The doctor says you need these for space travel.” Thanks to medical advances, vaccination shots (防疫针) are a thing of the past. Ordinary foods contain special vaccines. With the strawberries in their mouths，the kids head for the front door.
It's time for you to go to work. Your car checks your fingerprints and unlocks the doors. “My office.Autopilot，”you command.Your car drives itself down the road and moves smoothly into traffic on the highway.You sit back and unroll your enewspaper. The latest news downloads and fills the viewer. Looking through the pages, you watch the news as video film rather than read it.

“Siri，what's the weather like in San Francisco？”
“Today's forecast for San Antonio is...”
“No. San FRANCISCO ！！ ”
“The tapper Sisqo was born in Baltimore, Maryland.”
Sometimes, talking to an artificially intelligent robot is，well，not so intelligent.
Yohav Shoham, the Stanford computer science professor, said, “AI has made truly amazing progress in the past decade, but computers still can't exhibit the common sense or the general intelligence of even a 5yearold.” Yann LeCun, a French scientist, put it more simply. “We're very far from having machines that can learn the most basic things about the world in the way humans and animals can do. In particular areas machines have superhuman performance, but in terms of general intelligence they're not even close to a rat，” he explained.
Oren Etzioni, an Israeli scientist, said, “There's a brand of science fiction(小说) that's very dystopian (反面乌托邦的). These works of fiction talk about how the world is going to get much worse.I'm too much of an optimist (乐观者)to get a lot of pleasure out of reading such stories.”
However, robots are becoming smarter. Indeed, our homes are becoming more intelligent when we place devices (设备) like the Amazon Echo and Google Home on our kitchen counter.But，at least for the moment anyway，we shouldn't feel intimidated by this artificial intelligence.
There are robots that move like animals and robots that offer guidance.There's even a robot that can paint a picture of Einstein and a robot that can fold your laundry. Robots are not taking over the world yet. So for now, we can simply sit back and relax. And have a robot waiter pour us a drink.

My husband and I recently went to Disney World with our children and grandchildren. Our grandchildren were excited about the attraction where they can drive the cars. Since our party was uneven in numbers and two people fit in each car, I sat out that one and headed down to take pictures of them.
As I waited for them to drive by, I noticed a car with a father and his son who looked to be about 7. They rolled down the hill, and then as they neared where I sat, the car shook a few times and then stopped.
The young driver looked frightened, “I can't do it.”
His father quietly said, “Yes, you can.”
“No, I can't！”
“Yes, you can.”
The little boy was almost in tears, “I CAN'T！”
With deep patience, the father said, “Son, you can do this. I'm going to help you.”
Then he talked him through starting the car. And moments later with the father helping his son, the two went smoothly on their way down the track.
The scene brought tears to my eyes because I couldn't imagine how many times my father had to do that with me.Every time things got hard or when I had failures along the way, I'd say, “I can't do it.” He'd reply, “You can.” Time and time again he patiently encouraged me on the journey. And just like that little boy's dad, my sweet father would say, “Michelle, you can do this. I'm going to help you.”
That's where the true strength comes in. I can't do things under my own power, but when my father comes beside me and provides wisdom (智慧) and strength, there's no way I can fail.

Every year you collect a large amount of junk. Think about Christmas presents, birthday presents and holiday souvenirs, and the list goes on. Where does it all end up? Well, if you don't throw it out, it goes to the basement (地下室)．
However, things with huge amounts of value might be buried in those unwanted gifts. Perhaps there's a beautiful crystal boat in a bottle that was made just long enough ago to be worth a large amount of money. Or, maybe it's an old board game that was never used and has now become a collectable.Yes, these items can be your ticket to a hidden treasure, and all you need to do is go hunting.
Once you find the items, you'll probably be wondering how to sell them. Most people choose the standard yard sale and this, of course, is a mistake. You won't find the collectors by this type of sale.Instead, you need to reach the widest audience possible.The answer? eBay.
With eBay, you can gain a large amount of attention, start an auction(拍卖) and get selling.Of course, before you can do this, you have to set yourself up as a trusted seller. You can do that quite simply by buying a few small, cheap items first. This will raise the rating(等级) of your little online shop. After that, you should have no trouble at all attracting buyers.
Of course, this can just be the beginning.Once you know how to sell things online, you can start making a lot more money by investing and reselling.It's a great choice for a second income.

B．It follows official standards.
C．It has a much larger audience.

15．What do you have to do before selling things on eBay?
A．Gain public attention.
B．Buy some expensive things.
C．Attend several local auctions.
D．Raise your shop's credit rating.
D [细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Of course，before you can do this，you have to set yourself up as a trusted seller...This will raise the rating(等级) of your little online shop.”可知，要想在eBay网上开设网站销售自己的物品，首先要通过购买小件商品来提升自己的信誉度。]

【参考范文】
Travelling on a budget is a fashionable form of travel nowadays. It enables more poor travel lovers to enjoy travelling.
Compared with traditional travel，travelling on a budget is more convenient and cheaper. That means travellers can arrange the schedule freely and enjoy the journey at a lower cost. Inviting as it seems to be, accommodation conditions are often far from satisfactory. What's worse, people worry about budget travellers' safety. But I still like it very much. It can provide travellers with chances to develop their problemsolving ability in unexpected situations.
Please remember that safety is the first concern when you go out for travel!
第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
I talk a lot to myself.It helps me to keep my concentration on the activity in hand, makes me focus more on my studies, and gives me some pretty brilliant ideas while talking to myself; more importantly，I produce better works. Do you talk to yourself? Don't get embarrassed at admitting it because science has discovered that those who talk to themselves are actually geniuses but not crazies!
Psychologist Gary Lupyan conducted an experiment in a supermarket where 20 volunteers were shown objects, and were asked to remember them. Half of them were told to repeat the objects, for example, bananas, and the other half remained silent. In the end, the result showed that selfdirected speech aided people to find the objects faster, compared with the silent ones.
“I often talk to myself when searching for something in the refrigerator or on the supermarket shelves，” said Gary Lupyan. This personal experience actually made him conduct this experiment. Lupyan, together with another psychologist，Daniel Swigley, came up with the outcome that those who talk to themselves are geniuses. Here are the reasons：
When you are talking to yourself your sensory mechanism gets activated. It gets easier on your memory since you can visualise (使……具体化) the word, and you can act accordingly.
Every one of us tends to have various types of thoughts.Most make sense, while the others don't. Suppose you are furious at someone and you feel like killing that person. Now for this issue you won't run to a doctor, will you? No, what you do is lock yourself in a room and mutter to yourself. You are letting go off the anger by talking to yourself about the pros and cons of killing that person, and eventually you calm down.This is a silly thought that you have and are unable to share it with any other person. Psychologist Linda Sapadin said, “It helps you clarify your thoughts, tend to what's important and firm up any decision you are thinking about.”

Talking a lot to oneself helps one focus on what he is doing and people who have this habit are actually geniuses. (要点1) Psychologist Gary Lupyan conducted an experiment about it and he and psychologist Daniel Swigley concluded it's true. (要点2) The experiment showed that talking to yourself does good to people.On the one hand, it stimulates your memory; on the other hand, it helps you clarify your thoughts. (要点3)

There are robots that move like animals and robots that offer guidance.There's even a robot that can paint a picture of Einstein and a robot that can fold your laundry. Robots are not taking over the world yet. So for now, we can simply sit back and relax. And have a robot waiter pour us a drink.

My husband and I recently went to Disney World with our children and grandchildren. Our grandchildren were excited about the attraction where they can drive the cars. Since our party was uneven in numbers and two people fit in each car, I sat out that one and headed down to take pictures of them.
As I waited for them to drive by, I noticed a car with a father and his son who looked to be about 7. They rolled down the hill, and then as they neared where I sat, the car shook a few times and then stopped.
The young driver looked frightened, “I can't do it.”
His father quietly said, “Yes, you can.”
“No, I can't！”
“Yes, you can.”
The little boy was almost in tears, “I CAN'T！”
With deep patience, the father said, “Son, you can do this. I'm going to help you.”
Then he talked him through starting the car. And moments later with the father helping his son, the two went smoothly on their way down the track.
The scene brought tears to my eyes because I couldn't imagine how many times my father had to do that with me.Every time things got hard or when I had failures along the way, I'd say, “I can't do it.” He'd reply, “You can.” Time and time again he patiently encouraged me on the journey. And just like that little boy's dad, my sweet father would say, “Michelle, you can do this. I'm going to help you.”
That's where the true strength comes in. I can't do things under my own power, but when my father comes beside me and provides wisdom (智慧) and strength, there's no way I can fail.

Every year you collect a large amount of junk. Think about Christmas presents, birthday presents and holiday souvenirs, and the list goes on. Where does it all end up? Well, if you don't throw it out, it goes to the basement (地下室)．
However, things with huge amounts of value might be buried in those unwanted gifts. Perhaps there's a beautiful crystal boat in a bottle that was made just long enough ago to be worth a large amount of money. Or, maybe it's an old board game that was never used and has now become a collectable.Yes, these items can be your ticket to a hidden treasure, and all you need to do is go hunting.
Once you find the items, you'll probably be wondering how to sell them. Most people choose the standard yard sale and this, of course, is a mistake. You won't find the collectors by this type of sale.Instead, you need to reach the widest audience possible.The answer? eBay.
With eBay, you can gain a large amount of attention, start an auction(拍卖) and get selling.Of course, before you can do this, you have to set yourself up as a trusted seller. You can do that quite simply by buying a few small, cheap items first. This will raise the rating(等级) of your little online shop. After that, you should have no trouble at all attracting buyers.
Of course, this can just be the beginning.Once you know how to sell things online, you can start making a lot more money by investing and reselling.It's a great choice for a second income.

Travelling on a budget is a fashionable form of travel nowadays. It enables more poor travel lovers to enjoy travelling.
Compared with traditional travel，travelling on a budget is more convenient and cheaper. That means travellers can arrange the schedule freely and enjoy the journey at a lower cost. Inviting as it seems to be, accommodation conditions are often far from satisfactory. What's worse, people worry about budget travellers' safety. But I still like it very much. It can provide travellers with chances to develop their problemsolving ability in unexpected situations.
Please remember that safety is the first concern when you go out for travel!
第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
I talk a lot to myself.It helps me to keep my concentration on the activity in hand, makes me focus more on my studies, and gives me some pretty brilliant ideas while talking to myself; more importantly，I produce better works. Do you talk to yourself? Don't get embarrassed at admitting it because science has discovered that those who talk to themselves are actually geniuses but not crazies!
Psychologist Gary Lupyan conducted an experiment in a supermarket where 20 volunteers were shown objects, and were asked to remember them. Half of them were told to repeat the objects, for example, bananas, and the other half remained silent. In the end, the result showed that selfdirected speech aided people to find the objects faster, compared with the silent ones.
“I often talk to myself when searching for something in the refrigerator or on the supermarket shelves，” said Gary Lupyan. This personal experience actually made him conduct this experiment. Lupyan, together with another psychologist，Daniel Swigley, came up with the outcome that those who talk to themselves are geniuses. Here are the reasons：
When you are talking to yourself your sensory mechanism gets activated. It gets easier on your memory since you can visualise (使……具体化) the word, and you can act accordingly.
Every one of us tends to have various types of thoughts.Most make sense, while the others don't. Suppose you are furious at someone and you feel like killing that person. Now for this issue you won't run to a doctor, will you? No, what you do is lock yourself in a room and mutter to yourself. You are letting go off the anger by talking to yourself about the pros and cons of killing that person, and eventually you calm down.This is a silly thought that you have and are unable to share it with any other person. Psychologist Linda Sapadin said, “It helps you clarify your thoughts, tend to what's important and firm up any decision you are thinking about.”
