32、ll we be driving in 2010? They would be rather different from the type we know today, with the next twenty years bringing greater change than the past fifty. The people who will be designing the models of tomorrow believe that environmental problems may well accelerate (加速) the pace of automotive de

33、sign. Today they are students on the transport design course at Londons Royal college of Art. Their vision (相象中的画面) is of a machine with three wheels instead of four, electrically powered, environmentally clean, and able to drive itself along intelligent roads equipped with built-in power supplies.

34、Future cars will pick up their fuel during long journeys from a power source built into the road, or store it in small quantities for travel in the city. Instead of todays seating arrangements-two in front, two or three behind, all facing forward-the 2010 car will have a versatile (有许多用途的) interior

35、with adults and children in a family circle. This view of the future car is based on a much more sophisticated (复杂的) road system, with strips built into motorways to supply power to vehicles passing along them.

39、s marked A, B, C and D.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog.Theirs is a modern love drama. They met on the Internet and fell deeply in love with each other. They shared secrets, memories, feelings-even though they had never laid eyes on each other. And now, the very technology th

40、at had brought them together was tearing them apart. Kevin is a pleasing fellow-quick with a smile, trustworthy. A security guard for a hospital in northern Idaho, he keeps emergency room patients company and walks nurses to their cars at night. He remembers the first day he went to the Internet. It

41、 was August 1995, and the computer was in the hospital library. It wasnt long before he was spending most of his free time in front of the screen. It was purely by accident, Kevin says, that he discovered online pornography (色情内容). First he looked out of curiosity. Each time I thought I had seen it

42、all, he says, some new sex practice popped up. Eventually, the online sex world came to take the place of any real-world contact with women. I can be a little bit shy, he says, and this was an alternative that kept me from feeling lonely. Then came a message from Marie, a young mother of three looki

43、ng for company on an Internet singles site. Kevin fired off an immediate response, and the two began a dialogue that would last two months before he made the 50-mile drive to meet her. A few months later, they were married. What Marie loved about Kevin was his kindness, his interest in her kids. Wha

44、t she didnt know was that every time she was reading one of Kevins love emails, he was at the other end of the connection looking secretly at pornography sites. I knew he was always online, Marie says. But I thought that it was just because he was interested in meeting new people. Whenever Kevin was

45、 home, he was online, with the door closed. A few times, he called her in to look at an especially wild site. She was a little bothered by it but didnt worry until he turned away from her in bed. Have you been looking again? she would cry. By January, Kevin knew he had a serious problem. He promised

46、 that he would never use the computer at home. But there was still the machine at the hospital. Every night, he would use his master key to get into the closed library and favor his curiosity as never before. Sometimes, for his entire eight-hour work time, he would sit in front of the screen. When h

47、is bosses asked him to look in on the library, where some unusual computer activity had been noticed, he stopped using the computer for a month, and then headed straight back to the same place. This time, though, he walked into a trick. Earlier this summer, the hospital started using cameras and com

48、puter programs that recorded Kevins every mouse(鼠标) click. On June 27, his bosses confronted him and took him to the police station nearby. He was kept in the station for three days. Now Kevin lives under the continual watch of his wife and his boss. 1.It is _ that brings Kevin and Marie into love a

51、now Kevin was online looking at some pornography sites.C. Had Kevin stopped looking online for pornography forever, he would not have been kept in the police station for three days.D. The relationship between Kevin and Marie as husband and wife will remain the same as before.Questions 6 to 10 are ba

52、sed on the same passage or dialog.Many teachers like to teach all the new words and structures in the text before reading begins. I am not going to say that new language should never be taught this way, but I have often thought that this is the dullest part of the lesson, and that the teaching would

53、 have been more effective if it had taken place actually during the process of reading. It is difficult to make hard-and-fast rules, but you will frequently find that a new structure hardly needs explaining if it is taken in context; whether you want to teach it for active use is a matter beyond the

54、 scope of this book. For our purposes, if it can be understood without specific teaching, then it is not a barrier to the reader and to spend time on it would be pointless. The same is true of vocabulary. You may feel the need to teach a few key words before the students begin to read, but other new words may be so unimportant that you do not want to draw attention to them, while others you will want to use for practicing the skill of inferring meaning
