    My house is made out of wood, glass and stone. 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 to 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?"

    1. 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.

    2.What can’t be done in the writer’s new house according to the passage?

    A. Turning on the lights. B. Going swimming.

    C. Getting a telephone call. D. Playing music.

    3. The writer's new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because _______.

    A. it has your favorite music following you

    B. you can make a telephone call anywhere

    C. the writer is able to change his new idea into practice

    D. it has been controlled by computers

    4.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

    Every day our life is full of images, videos, music and news. In this age of visual and aural hyperstimulation（视听的高度刺激），the medium of radio is making a marked comeback.

    “We're at the dawn of a golden age of audio," said US-based podcaster Alex Blumberg in an article in The Sydney Morning Herald. In the last month alone, 15 percent of US adults listened to a radio podcast. These data, released by Edison Research, reveal the successful evolution of traditional radio broadcasts to the present day's digital podcast format（播客形式）. The term "podcast," was coined in 2004, but the trend only started gaining mainstream popularity in recent years. Since the leap in consumer demand for smart phones and tablets, podcast subscription rates have only accelerated.

    You can tune in during those extra minutes of the day when you're walking to the shops, waiting in a queue or riding the subway. Similar to television shows, podcasts are generally free to download on computer or iPod and most offer new content every week.

    Donna Jackson, 22, Sydney University media graduate, listens to podcasts two or three times a week, via-iTunes.¨ I listen while I'm hanging out in the house doing something else.

    It makes completing a boring task a lot more enjoyable... And it's an easy way of keeping in touch with what's going on in the rest of the world," she said. “I mainly listen to BBC podcasts, but recently I've also been tuning into This American Life and Serial.”

    Unlike television and music, the audio format has the ability to create a deep impression on readers. Blumberg says this comes down to the podcast's ability "to create emotional connection." Sydney University undergraduate Hazel Proust, major in social work and arts, agrees. "When you're tuned in, it feels as if the podcaster is talking directly to you. It's comforting," said Proust.

    It seems the age-old tradition of verbal（口头的）storytelling is very much alive and well.

    1.According to the passage, which of the following is Not a suitable time to listen to procasts ?

    A. Attending a lecture. B. Riding the subway.

    C. Walking to the shop. D. Waiting for a bus.

    2.According to the passage, one difference between television and audio format is that____。

    A. only audio format has the ability to create emotional connection to download

    B. only audio format helps people keep in touch with the world's change

    C. only television provides new content every week

    D. only television shows can be free

    3. What does the underlined word "coined" in paragraph 2 mean?

    A. written. B. thought. C. invented. D. found.

    4.It can be inferred from passage that____.

    A. people like to listen to podcasts when they work

    B. podcasts are more and more popular with people

    C. the voice of the podcaster attracts many listeners

    D. people keep in touch with each other by listening to podcasts

    On my first day of high school, I asked an eleventh-grader where my class was. And he told me it was “on the fourth floor, next to the pool.” I found out five minutes later that we don’t even have a fourth floor and there’s no pool either! Besides that, I didn’t have any trouble with the older kid.

    I think the biggest difference between middle and high school is the homework load (工作量) and size of the school. I went from maybe fifteen minutes of homework a night to several hours, so I had to learn how to make full use of time! Our class size is around 550, but joining in clubs, sports, music, and other activities at school makes it easier to get to know people in every grade.

    The best advice I can give about the years you spend in high school is to learn things for yourself, not just to get a good grade. There have been so many tests that I’ve prepared for the night before, gotten an A, and not remembered anything later. I’ve changed that this year, and I enjoy school so much more. Don’t take easy classes just to have a simple year. If you have a choice between chemistry and sports, the first will prove to be a lot more useful!

    While drinking and smoking might be present in some middle schools, they’re also around in high school. I have a lot of friends who promised they’d never drink or smoke, but are now partying every weekend. If you have “fun” and spend your nights wasted instead of studying, you will regret it when you’re applying for (申请) college. The “friends” who say you’re a loser for not partying are really not your friends at all. It’s hard to see your closest friends grow apart and go in different directions, but don’t follow their footsteps. Create your own path in life and make your own decisions.

    1.What happened to the author on his first day of high school?

    A. He had a fight with an eleventh-grader.

    B. He fell into a pool on the fourth floor.

    C. He was five minutes late for class.

    D. He was fooled by a schoolboy.

    2.The author advises high school students to _____.

    A. choose useful classes

    B.give up sports

    C. try their best to get good grades

    D. get ready for tests the night before

    3.The last paragraph mainly tells us _____.

    A. not to lose ourselves in high school

    B. about the importance of making friends

    C. not to go to any party in high school

    D.about the trouble caused by drinking and smoking
