1.Back in the early 1990s,I knew little about computers.But what I did know was that something huge was happening.It was changing imaginations and possibilities like nothing I had ever known.And I knew I had dreams that hadn't come true.But I didn't know how to realize them until I met with my old friend,Rolly Rouse,when we happened to move into the same neighborhood.
Rolly often called me with a lot of ideas.We talked about the Internet and about starting a new online company together.
He was then developing a plan and he wanted me to be a part of it:we would give people wonderful electronic houses on a CD-ROM and let them modify(改变) those houses to their own needs.When they were satisfied,we would enable them to go online to make the project happen,and to get the products
Building Blocks was the name Rolly came up with for the new company.Rolly simply gave up his business to commit himself full time to Building Blocks.I soon joined him after I quit my well paid job at a newspaper.
Together we developed a demo to show the features of our CD-ROM,"The New American Dream Home".Then we took it to the annual convention of the National Association of Home Builders in Boston.To our satisfaction,nearly everyone expected to see what we were showing,including the top companies.When we left,we had invitations to tell them more about Building Blocks.That was the start of my real lifetime dream and Building Blocks,our company,has been on a road to success ever since.

分析 回想起20世纪90年代初,我对电脑一无所知.在用电脑工作了一天之后,我才对其有所了解.但我知道:巨大的变化即将发生,即激动人心的经济、想象力及各种前所未有的事情.我知道世界正在变化,也就是说,我不能靠着过去的经验过活.我也知道我有 很多未实现的梦想.但我是在遇到我的老朋友罗林•劳斯之后,才意识到如何实现我的那些梦想,那时我俩刚巧搬到了同一个社区.
  罗林总是说我满脑子主意.但他每秒钟所产生的想法的数量似乎也非常不可思议.很快,我们每天打电话聊天,谈论互联网的一些事情,商讨一起开一家新网络公司的可能性.紧接着,他开始制定计划,并想让我也参与其中:我们将在只读光盘驱动上为人们提供丰富的、全套的 电子房间,并让人们根据自己的需求装饰自己的房 子.他们可以尝试多种门窗、不同的漆色和家具.当他们感到满意时,我们就让他们去网上实现自己的规划,购买产品及专业的设计和建筑,我们将帮助他们实现规划.
"BuildkgBlocks"是罗林为新公司起的名字.罗林决定自己先冒险试试.他直接将其利润丰厚的能源咨询业抛下,全身心投入到"BuildingBlocks"公司 中.我辞去了报社待遇丰厚的工作后,很快加入了他.
  我们一起开发出一款小样,展示了我们只读光盘驱动的特点--全新美国梦想家园.我们将其带到波士顿全美住宅商协会的年度会议上.所有大公司都在那里展示、炫耀自己的最新产品.令我们高兴的是,包括一些大公司的高管在内,几乎每个人都想看看我们所展示的产品.离开会场时,我们已经收到很多邀请,他们都希望我们能去他们的办公室并为其介绍更多有关"BuildingBlocks"公司的产品.那只是我人生梦想迈出的第一步,我们的公司"BuildingBlocks",从此以后也逐渐兴旺发达.

解答 CCDA
8.C 推理判断题 题目问的是"somethinghuge was happening指的是什么".先找到原句,即第一段第二句.向前后句寻找答案,根据第一段第一句"Back inthe early 1990s I knew little about computers beyond what it took to get through a working day."和第三句"It was stirring economies and imaginations and possibilities likenothing I had ever known."可知,前后文讲的主要是技术带来的影响,由此可以推知巨大的变化指的是高科技的发展,故选C.
9.C 细节理解题 题目问的是"Roily是什么样的人".第一段末尾提到Roily的名字,从第二段开头"Roily oftencalled me with a stream of ideas"可以看出Roily是一个很有创造力的人.故选C.
10.D 推理判断题 题目问的是"Rolly和作者决定一起开一家公司,因为他们都…".根据第四段后两句"He simply dropped hisprofitable energy-consulting business to commit himself full time to Building Blocks.I soon joined him after I quit my well-paid job at a newspaper."可知,两个人都拥有一份收入较髙的工作,为了共同的兴趣而辞职,故选D.
11.A 细节理解题 题目问的是"在波士顿会议上,Roily和作者很开心是因为…".根据倒数第一段的"To our satisfaction,nearly everyone was eager to see what we were showing…"可见Roily他们很开心是因为大家对他们的产品很感兴趣,故选A.

6.A policeman is asking three men who are training to become detectives.To test their skills in recognizing a suspect,he shows the first man a picture for five seconds and then hides it."This is your suspect.How would you recognize him?"
The man answers,"That's easy,we'll catch him fast because he has only one eye!"
The policeman says,"Sir!That's because the picture I showed you is his profile."

The second man smiles and says,"Ha!He'd be too easy to catch because he has only one ear!"
The policeman angrily responds,"What's the matter with you two?Of course only one eye and one ear are showing,because it's a picture of his profile!Is that the best answer you can come up with?"

The man looks at the picture carefully for a moment and says,"The suspect wears contact lenses (隐形眼镜)."The policeman is quite surprised because he really doesn't know whether the suspect wears contact lenses."Well,that's an interesting answer,"he says."Wait here for a few minutes while I check his information and I'll get back to you on that."
He leaves the room,goes to his office,checks the suspect's information in his computer,and comes back smiling."Wow!I can't believe it.It's true!The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses.Good work!How were you able to make such a good observation?"
"That's easy,"the man replies."He can't wear regular glasses because he has only one eye and one ear."

63.Why does the policeman ask the three men the question?C.
A.He suspects them.
B.He expects to check their memory.
C.He wants to know if they are fit to be detectives.
D.He longs to find the man in the photo.

    If you have ever lost sight of your parents in a crowded playground,you may be won-dering how mother bats recorgnize their children.They use their sense of smell to tell which  baby is theirs when it is time for the babies to have milk.   
    When twenty million bats fly out of one cave opening,they make a column so thick  that they show up on the radar at the nearby airport.It can take three hours for all of them  to get out from the cave."You can feel the breeze from their wings,and see the plats wa-ving,"says Kennedy."The movement of all those wings makes a very relaxing soft sound.I've always thought it would make a great relaxation music to help you go to sleep.So much  for bats being scary!"
