　　Theodor Seuss Geisel was born in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1904. He was famous because of the books he wrote for children. They combine funny words, pictures, and social opinion.

　　Dr Seuss wrote his first book for children in 1937. It is called And to Think I Saw It on Mulberry Street. A number of publishers refused to publish it. They said it was too different. A friend finally published(出版) it. Soon other successful books followed. Over the years, he wrote more than forty children’s books. They were fun to read. Yet his books sometimes dealt with serious subjects.

　　By the middle 1940s, Dr Seuss had become one of the best-loved and most successful writers of children’s books. He had a strong desire to help children.

Dr Seuss decided to write books that were interesting and easy to read.

　　Welcome to your future life!

　　You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young­looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people your age could live to be 150，so at 40, you're not old at all. And your parents just had an anti­aging(抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!

　　You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change your clothes' color or pattern.

　　You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says，“ You shouldn't drink that！” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk, and it knows the milk is old. In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.

　　It's time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all around you.

　　So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed，” says scientist Andrew Zolli ，“it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one example—what will be the next?

　　72. We can learn from the text that in the future ________.

　　A. people will never get old

　　B. everyone will look the same

　　C. red will be the most popular color

　　(2011·宁德质检，D)

　　With fears of a possible nuclear meltdown(核反应堆堆芯的熔毁) in Japan building up, evidence has come to light that the nation received warnings over the stability of its power plants from an international watchdog more than two years ago.

　　As the Telegraph is reporting, an official from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in December 2008 that safety rules were out of date, and strong earthquakes would cause a “serious problem” for the power stations.

　　A U．S. embassy document, by quoting(引用)an unnamed expert, states: “He (the IAEA official) explained that safety guides for earthquakes have only been updated three times in the last 35 years and that the IAEA is now re­examining them. Also, the presenter noted recent earthquakes in some cases have gone beyond the design basis for some nuclear plants, and that this is a serious problem that is now driving earthquake safety work.”

　　The Telegraph also reports that the government responded to the warnings by building an emergency response center at the Fukushima Daiichi plant designed to resist magnitude­7.0 earthquakes. Friday's earthquake, originally named a magnitude­8.9 shock, has since been upgraded to magnitude­9.0.

　　Other nuclear experts state IAEA officials had willingly ignored lessons from the Chernobyl disaster to protect the nuclear industry's expansion, reports Bloomberg. “After Chernobyl, all the force of the nuclear industry was directed to hide this event, for not creating damage to their reputation，”Russian nuclear accident specialist Iouli Andreyev tells Reuters, before noting that radiation from spent fuel rods(棒)stored close to reactors at Fukushima looked like an example of putting profit before safety. “The Japanese were very greedy, and they used every square inch of the space. But when you have a dense(密集的) placing of spent fuel in the basin, you have a high possibility of fire if the water is removed from the basin.”

　　日本核泄漏事故已经尘埃落定，但是人们应该从这一事故中汲取教训。

　　13. From the passage, we know that________.

　　A. people fear that the nuclear meltdown will possibly become more and more serious in Japan

　　B. people are becoming more and more afraid of a possible nuclear meltdown in Japan

　　C. Japan made no response to the warnings over the safety of its power plants

　　D. Iouli Andreyev warned Japan not to store spent fuel rods close to reactors

　　答案：B。细节理解题。由第一段第一句话“With fears of a possible nuclear meltdown(核反应堆堆芯的熔毁) in Japan building up”可知，人们日益担心核反应堆堆芯的熔毁。

　　14. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A. Japan was warned of the stability of its power plants when they were built over 2 years ago.

　　B. Safety guides for earthquakes should be updated three times in 35 years.

　　C. The emergency response centre at the Fukushima Daiichi plant can not resist Friday's earthquake.

　　D. IAEA officials advised Japan to ignore lessons from the Chernobyl disaster.

　　答案：C。细节理解题。由第四段可知，福岛核电站的抗震级别是七级，而周五的地震级别最终修正为九级，所以核电站的紧急应对措施不能抵抗周五的强震。

　　15．IAEA officials were willing to ignore lessons from the Chernobyl disaster because they want ________.

　　A. to put profit before safety B. the nuclear industry to develop

　　C. to protect the reputation of Japan D. every inch of land to be made good use of

　　答案：B。细节理解题。由最后一段第一句话“...to protect the nuclear industry's expansion”可知，切尔诺贝利核事故后，国际原子能机构愿意忽视不理该事故的教训是因为保护核工业的扩展。

　　16．The writer develops this passage mainly by ________.

　　(2011·海淀第二学期期末，A)

　　My father was a keen baseball fan. Whenever he could, Dad took me out to the park and pitched balls for me to hit.

　　One day at the park, a woman pushing a young boy in a wheelchair stopped to watch us play. My dad was over to them in a flash to ask if the child could join our game. The woman explained that her son had polio(小儿麻痹症)and wouldn't be able to get out of the chair. That didn't stop my dad. He placed the bat in the youngster's hand，pushed him out to home plate and assisted him in holding the bat. Then he yelled out to me, “Anne, pitch one in to us.”

　　I saw the delight in the boy's eyes, so I aimed at the bat and let the ball fly. The ball made contact with the bat with an assist from my dad and the child screamed with joy. As I turned, I heard my dad singing Take Me Out to the Ball Game.

　　An hour later we all left the field, very tired but very happy. Dad told the mother to bring the boy back next Saturday and we would play another game.

　　Dad and I were at the field the next Saturday but the mother and son never came. Twenty years passed，with my dad gone, I had very mixed emotions about leaving the neighborhood. Before moving I decided to take one last walk around the park where Dad and I had spent so many happy moments. Two Little League teams were on the field just about to start a game. I felt the sting of tears in my eyes as I watched the children play the game.

　　“Jeff, protect your base，”one coach yelled. I cheered the runner on when the ball was hit far into the outfield. The coach turned and smiled，“I never thought I'd ever be a coach playing on this field. You see, I had polio as a child and was restricted to a wheelchair. Thanks to a man's assistance，I was able to hit the ball and hear him singing the song Take Me out to the Ball Game. I believe that experience gave me the desire to walk again. I hope that some day I'll look up in the stands and see that man and his daughter again. I sure would like to thank him.”
