2、focuses on stammering along with other speech-related problems. The movie tells the story of Britains King George VI, who became king after his brother Edward VIII gave up the crown to marry an American woman. As a result of British actor Colin Firths performance, people are starting to realize that

3、 stammering can damage a persons self-confidence and cause him or her to escape from life. “The serious problem is unseen and unheard,” said Norbert Lieckfeldt, an expert at the British Stammering Association, in an interview with a news reporter. “Stammering masks your ability,” he said. “Its a ser

4、ious disability.”Most stammerers face bullying (欺负) in school, something that is “usually carried over into the workplace”. George VIs stammer took away his confidence as a speaker. But Samantha Mesango, a speech coach based in the UK, believes that speech problems are more common than most people r

5、ealize. “Some simply dont like the sound of their own voice; others are scared of speaking in public,” she said. Travis Treats from StLouis University praised The Kings Speech.

10、t forty with a rather serious, unsmiling face. He didnt speak much to the customers or to his helpers, but when he did he spoke slowly and quietly, as if to himself. He believed in efficiency, not conversation. and this was how the office workers, rushing to catch their trains, preferred it.It had b

11、een a good day. Lunch-time had been warm and sunny, and many people had bought magazines to read outside with their sandwiches. Now it was cold rainy, and people wanted an evening paper for a cheerless joyless journey ahead and a dull evening indoors.At 6:30, with the main rush over, he started to c

12、ollect the money together and count it. Then he left the stand and went home.

His large white Mercedes was in the private car park of a large government building. Hed parked there

13、for six months, pretending to be part of a heating firm working in the building. They would find out about him soon, and hed have to park in a garage again, which was annoying.

A woman marrying at the end of t

18、he nineteenth century would probably have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old and up. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which chance and health ma

19、de it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a womans youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until sixty.This important change in womens life has

20、 only recently begun to have its full effect on women economic (经济的) position. Even a few years ago most girls left school and took a full-time job.

21、women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to fuller part-time work.

25、urn off the lights and heaters when you go out of a room? In 2040 it will not matter. They will turn themselves offand on again when you return. You will choose the temperature for each room, the lighting and the humidity. A sensor(传感器) will find the presence of a human (and, with luck, ignore the d

26、og!) and turn the systems on, and when the humans leave it will turn them off again.The sensors will work through the central home computer, and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off for you. They will find faulty electrical appliances, plugs or switches, separate the

27、m so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect(发现) fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the fire brigade.

32、 home50.The best title for the passage might be _. A. Sensors and Computers B. Life at Home in the Year 2040C. The Development of Science and TechnologyD. Lights and Heaters in the Year 2040参考答案Just as the worlds most respected scientific bodies have confirmed that the world is getting hotter, they

33、have also stated that there is strong evidence that humans are driving the warming. Countless recent reports from the worlds leading scientific bodies have said the same thing. For example, a 2022 summary of climate science by the Royal Society stated that: “There is strong evidence that the warming

34、 of the Earth over the last half-century has been caused largely by human activity.”The idea that humans could change the planets climate may be counter-intuitive(与直觉不符的), but the basic science is well understood. Each year, human activity causes billions of tons of greenhouse gases to be released i

35、nto the atmosphere. As scientists have known for years, these gases hold heat that would otherwise escape to space, wrapping the planet in an invisible blanket.Of course, the planets climate has always been changing thanks to “natural” factors such as changes in solar or volcanic activity, or cycles

36、 relating the Earths going around the sun. According to the scientific literature, however, the warming recorded to date matches the pattern of warming we would expect from a build-up of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere not the warming we would expect from other possible causes.Even if scientists di

37、d discover another reasonable explanation for the warming observed so far, that would beg a difficult question. As Robert Henson puts it in The Rough Guide to Climate Change: “If some newly discovered factor can account for the climate change, then why arent carbon dioxide and the other greenhouse g

38、ases producing the warming that basic physics tells us they should be?”The only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming would be to run an experiment with two identical Earths one with human influence and one without. That obviously isnt possible, and so most

39、scientists are careful not to state human influence as an absolute certainty. 68In most scientists opinion, the global warming is mainly caused by _.Asolar activity Bvolcanic activity Cthe Earths going around the sun Dhuman activity69The underline word “identical” means _. Atotally different Bexactl
