But its not because of any physical obstruction. Its usually because the PC monitor in her ref

25、rigerators door has informed her that a new email message has arrived.Rikke and her husband are taking part in a six-month trial sponsored by a Danish firm and two Swedish partners. They hope to show that computers can be put to much more practical daily use than most people think. Fifty families an

26、d singles were provided with a free model known as the “Screenfridge” for the duration of trial.“Its really very clever”, says Rikke. She can call up email, news reports, sales items at the supermarket or addressed out of the endless ocean Internet possibilities. “Im not the type who wants to sit in

27、 front of the computer and wait 10 minutes for the modem to connect,” she says.The creators of the Screenfridge aim at this type of buyer. They think the machine should attract people who have limited time to solve technical problems or surf online.The PC that is built into the door is very small. I

28、t is only two centimeters wide, and completely silent.“Everything moves quickly”, as Rikke admits. “Well, the whole thing is really just an amusement”, she says. “But when the thing is gone after the test, it will be pain to have to go down in the basement again to download my email”.The Screenfridg

40、h periods, and they keep getting longer and longer.”Mac Lean was describing Chicagos 235 miles of expressway. But the same might be said about almost any of the expressways that have become an important part of American city lifeand about the heavy traffic that often blocks them. In Chicago, a compu

41、terized system has been developed that controls traffic on the citys seven expressways. Now one mana controllercan follow the movement of Chicagos traffic by looking at a set of lights. The system uses electronic sensors that are built into each expressway, half a mile apart. Several times a second,

42、 the computer receives information from each sensor and translates it into green, yellow, or red lights on a map in the control room. A green light means the traffic is moving forty-five miles an hour, yellow means thirty to forty-five miles an hour and red means heavy trafficcars standing still or

43、moving less than thirty miles an hour.“See that red light near Austin Avenue?” the controller asked a visitor. “Thats a repair truck fixing the road, and the traffic has to go around it”.At the Roosevelt Road entrance to the expressway, the light kept changing from green to red and back to green aga

44、in. “A lot of trucks get on the expressway there,” the controller explained. “They cant speed up as fast as cars.”The sensors show immediately where an accident or a stopped car is blocking traffic, and a truck is sent by radio to clear the road. The system has lowered the number of accidents by 18

45、percent. There are now 1.4 deaths on Chicagos expressways for each one hundred million miles traveled, while in other parts of the country there are 2.6.Traffic experts say that the Chicago system is the “coming thing”. Systems like Chicagos are already in use on some expressways in Los Angeles and

46、Houston. “Chicago has taken the lead,” says New York Citys traffic director; and he adds, “We are far behind”63. How does the controller follow Chicagos traffic? A. By controlling the traffic lights.B. By operating a computer in the control room.C. By sending a truck to clear the roads.D. By looking

What might be the best title for this passage? A. Computerized Traffic Control System B. Rush Periods Getting

49、LongerC. No Rush Hours Any More D. Sensors on ExpresswaysDThe Underground Railroad wasnt underground and it wasnt a railroad. But it was real just the same. And it was one of the brightest chapters in American history.The Underground Railroad was a secret network of people who helped slaves flee to

50、freedom before the Civil War. The slaves were black people from families who had been brought from Africa in chains. They were owned by their white masters and forced to work without pay.The first slaves arrived in Jamestown, Virginia in 1619. Two hundred years later, there were nearly four million

51、slaves in the United States. Most worked in large plantations in the South. By then, slavery had been outlawed in most northern states.Many slaves were treated cruelly. Some were not. All could be bought and sold. Some slaves bought their own freedom by earning money during time off from work at the

52、 plantation. There were free black people in both the North and South during slavery days.Thousands of slaves ran away each year. Some fled to get away from harsh masters. Others wanted to enjoy liberty. The Underground Railroad was started to help them.The “station” of the Underground Railroad were

53、 homes, shops, and churches where runaway slaves were hidden and fed. The “agents” or “stationmasters” were people - both black and white - who hated slavery. They wanted to help slaves get free.“Conductors” on the Underground Railroad led or transported fugitives（逃跑者）from station to station on thei

54、r way to free states. They had to watch for slave catchers, who were paid to capture runaways and return them. Some conductors guided slaves all the way to Canada.The most famous conductor was Harriet Tubman. She was a strong, determined woman. Before she became a conductor, Mrs. Tubman had been a p

55、assenger on a dangerous journey on the Underground Railroad.She lived as a slave on the plantation in Maryland. One day in 1849, Mrs. Tubman heard that she was going to be sold. She decided to escape instead.Harriet Tubman walked away from the plantation that night. She followed the North Star towar

56、d the free state of Pennsylvania 90 miles away. Sometimes she hiked all night, from station to station on the Underground Railroad. Once she was hidden under blankets and vegetables in a farm wagon, and she rode through the night. Another time she was carried in a rowboat for miles.She got to Pennsy

57、lvania one morning just at sunrise.67. Slaves could buy their own freedom through _.A. overtime workB. the Underground RailroadC. a secret networkD. working on the plantation68.

59、plantation70. This story is mainly about _.A. Harriet Tubman, the most famous conductor on the Underground RailroadB.

60、一部分：任务型阅读（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）The family sphere (范围) used to be defined by its isolation from the public realm（领域）. There was the public male realm of reasonable accomplishment and cruel competition, and the private female and child-rearing sphere of home, intuition（直觉）and emotion. The private realm w

61、as supposed to be isolated from the realities of adult life. For both better and worse, television and other electronic media tend to break down the difference between those two worlds. The membrane（膜）around the family sphere is much more permeable (可渗透的). TV takes public events and transforms them

62、into dramas that are played out in the privacy of our living rooms, kitchens and bedrooms. Parents used to be the channel through which children learned about the outside world. They could decide what to tell their children and when to tell it to them. Since children learn to read in stages, books p

63、rovide a kind of natural screening process, where adults can decide what to tell and not tell children of different reading abilities. Television destroyed the system that separated adult from child knowledge and separated information into year-by-year slices for children of different ages. Instead,

64、 it presents the same information directly to children of all ages, without going through adult filters（过滤）. So television presents a real challenge to adults. While a parent can read a newspaper without sharing it with children in the same room, television is accessible to everyone in that space. A

65、nd unlike books, television doesnt allow us to flip（翻转）through it and see whats coming up. We may think were giving our children a lesson in science by having them watch the Challenger take off, and then suddenly they learn about death, disaster and adult mistakes. Books allow adults to discuss priv

66、ately what to tell or not tell children. This also allows parents to keep adult material secret from children. Take that same material and put it on The Today Show and you have 800,000 children hearing the very things the adults are trying to keep from them. Television takes our kids across the glob

67、e before parents give them permission to cross the street. More importantly, children gradually learn that adults are worried and anxious about being parents. Actually, television has also places families under a lot of stress. How Television Changes Childhood?Main comparisonsContextsDistance betwee
