閱讀下面的短文，并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題（請(qǐng)注意問題后的字?jǐn)?shù)要求）。
[1] I was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his cell phone rang, interrupting our conversation. There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day. But I became invisible, absent from the conversation.
[2] The telephone used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent. Recently I was in a car with three friends. The driver told us to be quiet because he could not hear the person on the other end of his cell phone. There we were, four friends going down the highway, unable to talk to one another because of a tool designed to make communication easier.
[3]Why is it that the more connected we get, ________________________ ? Every advance in communications technology is a hurt to the closeness of human interaction (互動(dòng)). With e-mail and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone.
[4] More and more, l find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation. Or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn’t really have time to talk. The industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier.
[5] So I've put myself on technology restriction: no instant messaging with people who live near me, no cell-phoning in the presence of friends, no letting the voice mail pick up when I' m home.

A lazy Susan is an addition to a table, which is designed to assist in moving food from one person to another while dining. This is accomplished through the use of a turntable(轉(zhuǎn)盤), which usually moves the food in a circle when pushed by those at table. In this way, the food never has to be picked up and passed around the table. Instead, it remains in place as the lazy Susan is turned about.
A lazy Susan may also be a part of a kitchen cabinet. One may spin the lazy Susan in order to find certain goods stored in it. From the outside, a lazy Susan appears to be two cabinets. When one of these cabinets is pushed, however, both doors move and the lazy Susan is revealed inside.
Whether the lazy Susan is on a tabletop or within a cabinet, it can be made of a variety of materials. Most commonly, a lazy Susan is made of either plastic, wood or glass. Some people believe that Thomas Jefferson invented the lazy Susan, though it was referred to as a dumb waiter(上菜升降架) at that time. It is said that Jefferson invented the lazy Susan because his daughter complained she was always served last at table and, as a result, never found herself full when leaving the table. Others believe that Thomas Edison was the inventor, as he is believed to have invented the turntable for his phonograph(留聲機(jī)), which later developed into the lazy Susan.
Regardless of who invented it, it wasn’t until 1917 that the term lazy Susan was created in an advertisement for the invention. In Britain, however, the term dumb waiter is still used rather than the term lazy Susan. The reason for the name lazy Susan remains a mystery. One theory is that it was named after either Jefferson’s or Edison’s daughter, both of whom were named Susan.
小題1: According to the passage, a lazy Susan _____.
A．is a person who serves food at table
B．is a waitress who helps move dinner tables
C．is an additional round table in a dining room
D．is a turntable that passes food around the table
小題2:Which of the following is NOT true of the lazy Susan?
A．On a tabletop, it is convenient for people to have dinner.
B．Within a cupboard, it is easy for people to see what is inside.
C．The turntable was invented in 1917.
D．It can be made of many kinds of materials.
小題3:Why did Jefferson’s daughter complain she was served last when having meals?
A．Because she was too lazy.
B．Because she was the youngest.
C．Because the table was too tall for her.
D．Because the table couldn’t move food for her.
小題4: From the passage, we can know that _____.
A．the lazy Susan was invented earlier than the phonograph
B．Susan was the name of Jefferson’s and Edison’s daughter
C．Jefferson and Edison invented the lazy Susan at the same time
D．When people talk about a lazy waitress they use the term “Susan”
小題5:What is the main idea of the passage?
A．What is a lazy Susan?
B．When was the lazy Susan created?
C．Why do inventions come from the daily life?
D．How was “dumb waiter” replaced by “l(fā)azy Susan”?

Scientists have created a “ human-like robot” that can dance and do the housework.
“ Mahru” has been developed to imitate humans and can move its lips, eyebrows and pupils(瞳孔). The machine can also move its upper and lower body freely and automatically stop itself when walking.
In addition, it has been programmed to give out two kinds of pleasant smells to match its emotions.
The 1.5 tall robot was produced by researchers at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) and is the first South Korean- developed machine of its kind.
“‘Mahru’ will open the way for the commercial use of humanoid robots doing housework,” You Bum-Jae, leader of the development research team ,said. “‘Mahru’ can dance while walking on its legs and is able to work in place of a human.”
Through an advanced motion capture (捕獲) system, “Mahru” can follow a variety of human movements and move its hands freely enough to deal with any obstacles that may get in its way when walking.
State-funded KIST showed the robot during a presentation at its head office in Seoul.
People here were treated to an entertaining demonstration which saw the robot show off the full range of its skills, most notably s series of dance moves.
The research team added that they had designed another “ Mahru”, this time with sensors(傳感器) allowing it to distinguish(分辨) between faces and objects.
The showing of “ Mahru” came a week after researcher in Japan said they had created the “most human-like” robot in the world. A team at robotics department of Osaka University in Japan claimed that “ robogirl”, Repliee R-1, “ looks, moves and interacts (相互作用) like a human, and has silicone(硅膠) skin that feels almost human to the touch.”
小題1: “Mahru” made by KIST can do the following things EXCEPT____________
A．dance with other human –like robotsB．move its body freely
C．stop automatically when walkingD．express certain feelings through smells
小題2: According to what You Bum- Jae said in Paragraph 5, his research team wants to ________.

An Australian company, Smart Car Technologies, has developed a system that lets drivers know when they’re speeding. When the technology becomes commercially available, it could help lead-footed drivers avoid tickets and also save lives. The company that developed the product hopes to convince Australian government agencies to put the technology into use in their automobile fleets.
The product, called Speed Alert, links real-time location data and speed obtained with the help of GPS to a database of posted speed limits stored in a driver’s PDA or programmable mobile phone. The setup of the product does not need to be hooked up to a car’s speedometer. In fact, it is entirely portable. It will also work with newer phones and PDAs that have built-in GPS receivers. If a driver exceeds the speed limit, the speed is shown and an alert sounds.
Michael Paine, an Australian vehicle design engineer and traffic safety consultant, was hired to analyze the product. He told Live Science that his colleagues in the road safety field are “very enthusiastic” about what they’re now calling “intelligent speed alert.” Other research, according to Paine, shows that 40 percent of all traffic deaths involve speeding. There is also a potentially controversial future use: “Since the system is so portable, it would be easy to make it a requirement for teenage drivers to always use a speed alert device when driving,” Paine said. “The system even has the capability to record speeding violations, so parents can monitor their teenage drivers.”
The product will soon go on sale in Sydney.
小題1: What’s the purpose of the new product?
A．To inform us of the new car system.B．To introduce some improvement in cars.
C．To limit certain drivers to safe driving.D．To popularize the built-in car system.
小題2:The second paragraph mainly talks about        .
A．the project of the built-in productB．why the system becomes popular
C．the functions of GPS in carsD．how the product is programmed
小題3:Which of the following is true of Speed Alert according to Michael Paine?
A．Most of the traffic deaths can be avoided.B．Speeding violations can be easily found out.
C．The system will excite some teenage drivers. D．The product will not be available for adults.
小題4:What can be the best title of the passage?
A．Speed Alert and Its Future Use.B．Progress in Car-making Science.
C．Warning for Adventurous Drivers.D．New In-Car Device against Speeding.

In the future your automobile（汽車） will run on water instead of gas! You will be able to buy a supercomputer that fits in your pocket! You might even drive a flying car!
For each prediction that has come true today, several others have missed by a mile. Many of these predictions didn’t consider how people would want to use the technology, or if people really needed it in their lives or not. Let’s look at some predictions from the not-too-distant past.
Robot Helpers
Where’s the robot in my kitchen? Nowhere, of course. And he’s probably not coming anytime soon. Robots do exist today, but mostly in factories and other manufacturing environments.
Back in the 1950s, however, people said that by now personal robots would be in most people’s homes.
So why hasn’t it happened?  Probably because robots are still too expensive and clumsy. And maybe the idea of robots cooking our dinners and washing our clothes is just too weird. At home we seem to be doing fine without them.
Telephones of Tomorrow
In 1964 an American company introduced the video telephone. They said by the year 2000 most people would have a video phone in their homes. But of course the idea hasn’t caught on yet.
Why? The technology worked fine, but it over—looked something obvious: people’s desire for privacy（隱私）. Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just step out of the shower（淋�。�?  Probably not---it could be embarrassing! Just because a technology available doesn’t always mean people will want to use it.
And finally, how about that crazy prediction of the flying car? It’s not so crazy anymore! But a flying car remains one of the most fascinating technology ideas to capture our imagination. Keep watching the news, or perhaps the sky outside your window, to see what the future will bring.
小題1:
The whole passage is mainly about ________________.
A．predictions that have come true.B．predictions that haven’t come true.
C．why predictions don’t come true easily.D．what technology will bring about.
小題2:
The author of this passage won’t believe that _________________.
A．predictions needn’t consider people’s practical use of technology.
B．the future isn’t always easy to guess.
C．not all past predictions have come true.
D．many of the high—tech things our parents thought we’d be using by now
simply never appeared.
小題3:
The underlined word “weird” probably means __________.
A．wonderfulB．stupidC．practicalD．strange
小題4:
What does the author think of the flying car?
A．It is too difficult to imagine.B．It is too crazy an idea.
C．It is likely to be made.D．It is often reported in the news.
