第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Working from home is more and more popular as a means of escaping the nine-to-five office life.Why do you work under the eye of your boss when you can work in front of the TV in your slippers？Armed with all the necessary things—telephone，computer，e-mail and fax，many workers believe they can work as effectively as their colleagues in the office.Being able to work wherever you like：from a busy city to a village，and not having to stand the daily things，make working from home an attractive choice.If you wish，you can even work on a river boat.
So what will become of the office tomorrow？It is possible that many could go into computer space creating a new wave of virtual(虚拟的) offices.To minimize office in inner-city areas，companies will have a work force made up of a network of home workers linked by an advanced communication and information system.A central processing computer would be controlled by the manager who sends out work schedules and oversees(监视) the activity of each employee.
A video screen would be created，as the need for e-mail or telephone becomes greater.Seeing the mood and expressions of work colleagues，managers would have the ability to view several employees at once on their screen.Employees would be encouraged to feed any information that may be useful to fellow workers into the computer to make the company work more effectively.As the company’s lifeblood，the computer would contain a record of all conversations and communication for future reference and hold secret information such as accounts in password(口令) protected areas.
36．The passage is mainly about ________.
A．the importance of working in the future
B．how to escape your office
C．how to work with a computer
D．virtual offices in the future
答案 D
解析本文主要介绍了未来的虚拟办公及其特征，该部分内容在文章中所占的比例较大。
37．According to the passage, which of the following things is NOT necessary for a virtual office?
A．A manager. B．An office building.
C．A telephone. D．A central processing computer.
答案 B
解析根据第一段“Being able to work wherever you like...If you wish, you can even work on a river boat”可知，虚拟办公不需要固定的场所。
38．Which of the following is an advantage of a virtual office?
A．There aren’t strict time limits.
B．Employees aren’t overseen by the manager.
C．Employees needn’t see each other every day.
D．Fewer employees are needed in every company.
答案 A
解析由文章首句中“...as a means of escaping the nine-to-five office life”可知，虚拟办公可以不必朝九晚五上班，故该办公方式没有严格的时间限制。
39．From the passage we can learn that ________.
A．a computer is the only necessary thing in a virtual office.
B．in a virtual office, all information is open to workers.
C．managers can observe their employees in a virtual office.
D．the number of employees will be smaller in a virtual office.
答案 C
解析根据第三段“...managers would have the ability to view several employees at once on their screen”可知，C项内容符合题意。
B
Parents and kids today dress alike，listen to the same music，and are friends.Is this a good
thing？Sometimes，when Mr.Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter，Elizabeth，listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy，such as pop culture，he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.
“I would never have said to my mom，‘Hey，the new Weezer album is really great.How do you like it？’”says Ballmer.“There was just a complete gap in taste.”
Music was not the only gulf.From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations，earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.
Today，the generation gap has not disappeared，but it is getting narrow in many families.Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago.Now they are comfortable and common.And parent-child activities，from shopping to sports，involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood.
No wonder greeting cards today carry the message，“To my mother，my best friend.”
But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents.
“There’s still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents，but there is a change happening，”says Kerrie，a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College.“In the middle of that change，there is a lot of confusion among parents.”
Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes.They see the 1960s as a turning point.Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say.
“My parents were on the ‘before’side of that change，but today’s parents，the 40-year-olds，were on the ‘after’side，”explains Mr.Ballmer.“It’s not something easily accomplished by parents these days，because life is more difficult to understand or deal with，but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.”
40．The underlined word gulf in Para.3 most probably means ________.
A．interest B．distance C．difference D．separation
答案 B
解析词义理解题。由上文中提到的“...he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.”以及“There was just a complete gap in taste.”可知gulf应表示两代人之间关系的“代沟”。separation指“分开，分离”。
41．Which of the following shows that the generation gap is disappearing?
A．Parents help their children develop interests in more activities.
B．Parents put more trust in their children’s abilities.
C．Parents and children talk more about sex and drugs.
D．Parents share more interests with their children.
答案 D
解析细节理解题。由文章的第一段可知答案。
42．The change in today’s parent-child relationship is ________.
A．more confusion among parents
B．new equality between parents and children
C．less respect for parents from children
D．more strictness and authority on the part of parents
答案 B
解析细节推断题。由文章的最后五段可知，现在父母和孩子之间的关系趋于平等。
43．By saying “today’s parents，the 40-year-olds，were on the ‘after’ side，”the author means that today’s parents ________.
A．follow the trend of the change
B．can set a limit to the change
C．fail to take the change seriously
D．have little difficulty adjusting to the change
答案 A
解析句意理解题。20世纪60年代被看作一个转折点。以前的父母高高在上、固执保守，而现在的父母与孩子在同一平面上，同孩子一起快乐地分享共有的兴趣。故A项“紧随
潮流的变化”最符合。
C
Within fifteen years Britain and other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial complexes for the recycling of waste.The word rubbish could lose its meaning because everything that goes into the dumps would be made into something useful.Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.
The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out.The aim is to find out how many of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city.This plant would recycle not only metal such as steel and copper，but also paper and rubber as well.
Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish.When this project is complete，the rubbish will be processed like this：first，it will pass through metal bars which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed；then it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids；after that grounders and rollers break up everything that can be broken.Finally the rubbish will pass under magnets，which will remove the bits of iron and steel；the rubbish and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.
The first full-scale giant recycling plants are perhaps fifteen years away.Indeed，with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps，some big cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long.
44．The main purpose of the passage is to ________.
A．show us a future way of recycling wastes
B．tell the importance of recycling plant
C．warn people the danger of some wastes
D．introduce a new recycling plant
答案 A
解析第一段谈论垃圾可以回收；第二段、第三段介绍两种回收垃圾的新方案；最后提到未来大型的回收工厂。故本文主要涉及未来垃圾的回收。
45．How many stages are there in the recydling process?
A．3 B．4 C．5 D．6
答案 B
解析由文中第3段的“first，then，after that，finally”可得出答案。
46．What’s the main reason for big cities to build their own recycling plants?
A．To deal with waste in a better way.
B．It’s a good way to gain profits.
C．It’s more economical (经济的) than to dump wastes in more distant places.
D．Energy can be got at a low price.
答案 C
解析由文中最后一句话可得出答案(注意：growing cost)。
47．The first full-scale huge recycling plants________.
A．have been in existence for 15 years
B．take 15 years to build
C．can’t be built until 15 years later
D．will remain functioning for 15 years
答案 C
解析由文中最后一段第一句话可得出答案。

Pupils in Wenchuan Earthquake
A terrible earthquake broke out in Wenchuan.A lot of people were killed, but there were also many people rescued by soldiers.There are stories about many people rescued by soldiers.Here are stories about three rescued pupils.
Lang Zheng，a three-year-old, was rescued by soldiers after being buried in ruins for 10 hours.After being rescued, he gave a young pioneer salute to the soldiers with a face full of
blood.Little as he is, he has a heart of appreciation.This is why he is called a young-pioneer-salute boy.
However，it is unfortunate for a 6-year-old girl, Li Yue.She was rescued after being buried for more than 70 hours, but one of her legs was cut off ！She likes ballet, and dreams of being a dancer one day.But now she is like a wing-broken bird，and she will never realize her dream.
Xue Xiao，who is 17, gives us a deep impression. Trapped in the ruins for 80 hours, he was rescued by soldiers.The first word he said to the soldiers was “I want to have coca-cola, iced cola”，which was beyond their expectation.Faced with such a disaster, he was so optimistic, and he was given the name “cola boy”．Poems
选修6 Unit 1 Art-Reading A SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTING Art is influenced by the customs and faith of a people. Styles in Western art have changed many times. As there are so many different styles of Western art, it would be impossible to describe all of them in such a short text. Consequently, this text will describe only the most important ones, starting from the sixth century AD. The Middle Ages (5th to the 15th century AD) During the Middle Ages, the main aim of painters was to represent religious themes. A conventional artist of this period was not interested in showing nature and people as they really were. A typical picture at this time was full of religious symbols, which created feeling of respect and love for God. But it was evident that ideas were changing in the 13th century when painters like Giotto di Bondone began to paint religious scenes in a more realistic way. The Renaissance (15th to 16th century) During the Renaissance, new ideas and values graduallv replaced those held in the Middle Ages.People began to concentrate less on religious themes and adopt a more humanistic attitude to life. At the same time painters returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art. They tried to paint people and nature as they really were. Rich people wanted to possess t heir own paintings, so they could decorate their superb palaces and great houses. They paid famous artists to paint pictures of themselves, their houses and possessions as well as their activities and achievements. One of the most important discoveries during this period was how to draw things in perspective. This technique was first used by Masaccio in 1428. When people first saw his paintings, they were convinced that they were looking through a hole in a wall at a real scene. If the roles of perspective had not been discovered, no one would have been able to paint such realistic pictures. By coincidence, oil paints were also developed at this time, which made the colours used in paintings look richer and deeper. Without the new paints and the new technique, we would not be able to see the many great masterpieces for which this period is famous. Impressionism (late 19th to early 20th century) In the late 19th century, Europe changed a great deal. from a mostly agricultural society to a mostly industrial one.

西方绘画艺术简史 艺术是受一个民族的风俗和信仰影响。西方艺术风格经历了多次变革。因为西方艺术多种多样，在短短的一篇课文里不可能进行全面的描述。因此，本书只谈及从公元六世纪开始以来最重要的几种艺术风格。 中世纪(5到15世纪) 在中世纪时期,画家的主要目的是把宗教主题表现出来。这一时期传统的艺术家无意于如实地展现自然和人物。这时的典型绘画充满了宗教的特征，体现出了对上帝的爱戴和敬重。但是，13世纪时绘画观念在改变是显而易见的，像乔托这样的画家开始以一种更现实的方式来画宗教场景。 文艺复兴时期（15世纪到16世纪） 在文艺复兴时期,新的思想和价值观逐渐取代了中世纪的思想和价值观。人们开始较少关注宗教主题而采取一种更人性化的生活态度。同时画家们回到罗马、希腊的古典艺术理念上。他们力争如实画出人物和自然。富人们想拥有自己的艺术品，这样就可以装饰自己的高级宫殿和豪宅。他们出价聘请著名艺术家不仅让他们画他们的活动和成就，还要他们画自己的肖像、房子和所有物。 在此期间，最重要的发现之一就是如何用透视法来画出事务。这一手法是1428年由马萨乔第一次使用的。当人们第一次看到他的画时，还以为是透过墙上的小洞来观看真实的场景，并对此深信不疑。如果没有发现透视法，就没有人能画出如此逼真的画。巧合的是，这一时期油画颜料也得到了发展，使得绘画的色彩看上去更丰富、更深沉。没有新的颜料和新的手法，我们就不能看到很多使这一时期著名的杰作。 印象派(19世纪后期到20世纪初期) 19世纪后期，欧洲发生了巨大的变化，从以农业为主的社会转变成了以工业为主的社会。许多人从农村迁入到新城市。有许多新发明和社会变革。这些变革也自然地促成了新的绘画风格。在那些突破传统画法的画家中有生活和工作在法国巴黎的印象派画家。 印象派画家是第一批室外写景的画家。他们急切地想把一天中不同时间投射到物体上的光线和阴影呈现出来。然而由于自然光的变化很快，印象派画家们必须很快地作画，因此，他们的画就不像以前那些画家们的画那样细致了。起初，很多人不喜欢这种画法，甚至还怒不可遏。他们说这些画家作画时漫不经心，粗枝大叶，而他们的作品更是荒谬可笑。 现代艺术(20世纪到今天) 在印象派作品的创建初期，他们是存在着争议的，但是如今已经被人们接受而成为我们现在所说的“现代艺术”的始祖了。这是因为印象派鼓励画家用一种崭新的视角看待他们的环境。如今，现代艺术风格有好几十种，然而如果没有印象派，那么这许多不同的风格也许就不可能存在。一方面，有些现代艺术是抽象的，也就是说，画家并不打算把我们眼睛看到的东西如实地画出来，而是集中展现物体的某些品质特征，用色彩、线条和形状把它们呈现出来。而另一方面，有些现代派的艺术作品却是那么真实，看上去就像是照片。这些风格如此不同。谁能预言将来会有什么样的绘画风格？

高中英语选修6 Unit 1 A SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTING Art is influenced by the customs and faith of a people. Styles in Western art have changed many times. As there are so many different styles of Western art, it would be impossible to describe all of them in such a short text. Consequently, this text will describe only the most important ones. Starting from the sixth century AD. The Middle Ages(5th to the 15th century AD) During the Middle Ages, the main aim of painters was to represent religious themes. A conventional artist of this period was not interested in showing nature and people as they really were. A typical picture at this time was full of religious symbols, which created a feeling of respect and love for God. But it was evident that ideas were changing in the 13th century when painters like Giotto di Bondone began to paint religious scenes in a more realistic way. The Renaissance(15th to 16th century) During the Renaissance, new ideas and values gradually replaced those held in the Middle Ages. People began to concentrate less on religious themes and adopt a more humanistic attitude to life. At the same time painters returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art. They tried to paint people and nature as they really were. Rich people wanted to possess their own paintings, so they could decorate their superb palaces and great houses. They paid famous artists to paint pictures of themselves, their houses and possessions as well as their activities and achievements. One of the most important discoveries during this period was how to draw things in perspective. This technique was first used by Masaccio in 1428. When people first saw his paintings, they were convinced that they were looking through a hole in a wall at a real scene. If the rules of perspective had not been discovered, no one would have been able to paint such realistic pictures. By coincidence, oil paints were also developed at this time, which made the colours used in paintings look richer and deeper. Without the new paints and the new technique, we would not be able to see the many great masterpieces for which this period is famous. Impressionism(late 19h to early 20th century) In the late 19th century, Europe changed a great deal, from a mostly agricultural society to a mostly industrial one. Many people moved from the countryside to the new cities. There were many new inventions and social changes also led to new painting styles. Among the painters who broke away from the traditional style of painting were the Impressionists, who lived and worked in Paris. The Impressionists were the first painters to work outdoors. They were eager to show how light and shadow fell on objects at different times of day. However, because natural light changes so quickly, the Impressionists had to paint quickly. Their paintings were not as detailed as those of earlier painters. At first, many people disliked this style of painting and became very angry about it. They said that the painters were careless and their paintings were ridiculous. Modern Art(29th century to today) At the time they were created, the Impressionist paintings were controversial, but today they are accepted as the beginning of what we call "modern art". This is because the
