【题目】阅读理解
We once had a poster competition in our fifth grade art class.
“You could win prizes,' our teacher told us as she wrote the poster information on the blackboard. She passed out sheets of construction paper while continuing, “The first prize is ten dollars. You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster.”
We studied the board critically. Some of us looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard, rocking the sheets to the right or left while we conjured up our designs. Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought. We had plans for that ten-dollar grand prize, each and every one of us. I'm going to spend mine on candies, one hopeful would announce, while another practiced looking serious, wise and rich.
Everyone in the class made a poster. Some of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins, while others used nothing but colored construction paper. Some of us used big designs, and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one corner of our poster and let the space draw the viewer's attention to it. Some of us would wander past the good students' desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness. It was yet another grown-up trick of the sort they seemed especially fond of, making all of us believe we had a fair chance, and then always — always — rewarding the same old winners.
I believe I drew a sailboat, but I can't say that with any certainty. I made it. I admired it. I determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen, and then I turned it in.
Minutes passed.
No one came along to give me the grand prize, and then someone distracted me, and I probably never would have thought about that poster again.
I was still sitting at my desk, thinking, What poster? when the teacher gave me an envelope with a ten-dollar bill in it and everyone in the class applauded for me.
(1)What was the teacher's requirement for the poster?
A.It must appear in time.
B.It must be done in class.
C.It must be done on a construction sheet.
D.It must include the words on the blackboard.
(2)The underlined phrase in paragraph 3 most probably means ________.
A.formed an idea for
B.made an outline for
C.made some space for
D.chose some colors for
(3)After seeing the good students' designs, some students ________.
A.loved their own designs more
B.thought they had a fair chance
C.put their own designs in a corner
D.thought they would not win the prize
(4)We can infer from the passage that the author ________.
A.enjoyed grown-up tricks very much
B.loved poster competitions very much
C.felt surprised to win the competition
D.became wise and rich after the competition

【答案】
(1)D
(2)A
(3)D
(4)C
【解析】本文作者记叙五年级美术课海报设计比赛的经历。
(1)D细节理解题。由第二段末句,老师说的话You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster可知这个海报上必须有黑板上的话,故选D。
(2)A词义猜测题。上下句是Some…Other…句式,while we conjured up our designs的对应部分是while deep in thought,可见conjured up的意思是“思考,想象”,形成一个点子,故选A。
(3)D细节理解题。根据第四段第5,6行Some of us would wander past the good students' desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness.可知有sense of hopelessness的感觉,说明学生们觉得自己不会获奖,故选D。
(4)C推理判断题。根据倒数第二段和最后一段第一句I was still sitting at my desk, thinking, What poster?可知我并没有想到自己会获奖,对于获奖我感到很意外,故选C。

【题目】Leading experts on the Internet, technology and policy have shared the same opinion on what we can expect in the next decade when it comes to connectivity and its effects on society.

The Pew Research Center report asked thousands of experts and members of the public for opinions on “the most significant overall influences of our uses of the Internet on humanity” — and some had a rosier outlook than others.

“The smartest person in the world nowadays could well be stuck behind a plough in India or China,” said Hal, Google's chief economist.“Enabling that person — and the millions like him or her — will have a strong effect on the development of the human race.”

Early Internet pioneer David Hughes agreed: “When every person on this planet can communicate twoway with every other person on this planet, the power of nation states to control every human inside its geographic boundaries may start to disappear.”

Wearables (electronic equipment that people can wear) could monitor more than just steps, predicted UC Berkeley's Aron Roberts — or do more than just monitor: “We may literally be able to adjust both medications and lifestyle changes on a daybyday basis or even an hourbyhour basis.”

Microsoft Research's Jonathan Grudin is more pessimistic (悲观的): “By making so much activity visible, it exposes the gap between the way people behave and the way we think they ought to behave.Adjusting to this will be an unending, difficult task.”

And the difference between the rich and the poor will have a new aspect: “Only the welloff (and welleducated) will know how to preserve their privacy,” warned one expert.“Will the Internet make it possible for our entire civilization to fall down together, in one big awful step? Possibly,” admitted Harvard's Doctor Searles.“But the Internet has already made it possible for us to use one of our unique advantages — the ability to share knowledge — to a degree higher than ever before.”

1According to Hal, in the future, those who will influence the development of human race are________.

A. Google's economists B. Chinese and Indians

C. the educated persons D. world leading experts

2People will be able to change their lifestyles at any time according to________.

A. the development of communication skills

B. the suggestions made by computer experts

C. the prediction made by the home computers

D. the data recorded by the computers worn on body

3The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 6 refers to________.

A. the visible activities mentioned above

B. the way we thought they ought to behave

C. the way people really behave in life

D. the rule people ought to obey in life

4Which of the following can best express the meaning of the last paragraph?

A. Advantages and disadvantages of the Internet.

B. Development of the Internet and human beings.

C. Knowledge and civilization of human beings.

D. Possibilities of the Internet for the future users.
