　　IMAGINE that you’re taking a tour of Beijing and you stop at Tian’anmen Square.You want to know more about the history of the Square.You want to know where you can get a cup of tea.And you need to find out where the subway is，when you’re ready to go somewhere else.

　　Forget your guidebook and the tourist information office.Your mobile phone can help.If you hold the phone’s camera up to Tian’anmen Square，you can see all of this information on the screen.You can click on links(链接)for more information or check a map on your screen.

　　This is just one example of “augmented(增强的)reality”．The program uses information from the Internet to work with pictures of places in the real world.

　　The idea for this kind of program has existed for years，but new mobile phones have helped to make it a reality.Now，many phones have GPS,3G mobile Internet access and other programs that could make augmented reality possible.

　　For example，in the future，iPhone users can use a program called Wikitude.It shows information based on where the user points the phone’s camera.Simply by turning on the phone’s camera mode(模式)and focusing on nearby buildings，Wikitude will send information about the place where the user is standing.

　　Layar is another similar program.It connects(联系)real-world images(影像)to reviews and comments about nearby cafes and restaurants.

　　Locations aren’t the only thing that can be “augmented” with this kind of program；it may even work with people.A Swedish company is working on Augmented ID.Focusing a phone’s camera on someone’s face could bring up details of their social networking profiles(个人简介)，or even their business card.

　　So next time，be careful when your friends point their mobile phone cameras at you.They may find out all of your secrets!

　　Ⅱ.简答题

　　Tornadoes(龙卷风)are one of the most violent weather events on Earth.Each year，the severe winds of tornadoes kill many people.The storms have been known to carry homes，cars and trees from one place to another.And they can also destroy anything in their path.

　　A tornado is a violently turning tube of air suspended from a thick cloud.It extends from a thunderstorm in the sky down to the ground.The shape is like a funnel：wide at the top，narrower at the bottom.

　　Tornadoes form when winds blowing in different directions meet in the cloud and begin to turn in circles.Warm air rising from below causes the wind tube to reach toward the ground.Because of their circular movement，these severe windstorms are also known as twisters.

　　Tornadoes have been observed on every continent except Antarctica.But weather experts say they are most common in the United States.Each year，the United States has more than one thousand tornadoes.

　　These storms can happen at any time of the year.But most happen from late winter to the middle of summer.There is a second high season in November.

　　During spring，warm air moves north and mixes with cold air remaining from winter.In November，the opposite happens.Cold weather moves south and combines with the last of the warm air from summer.

　　Tornadoes can strike with little or no warning.Weather experts operate warning systems to tell people about possible tornadoes.But the storms often move too fast for people to flee.Last year，tornadoes killed more than one hundred people in the United States.

　　Most injuries happen when flying objects hit people.Experts say the best place to be is in a small room，without windows，in the middle of the lowest part of a building.

　　Last month，American scientists began work on a project aimed at improving the ability to predict tornadoes.The project is said to be the largest tornado study in history.It is called Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment Two.The shorter name is VORTEX2.

　　VORTEX2 involves a team of nearly one hundred people，many of them scientists.They are using radars and other equipment to learn more about how，why and where tornadoes form.The team is using forty cars and trucks to chase tornadoes，dropping measuring instruments in their paths.In addition，unmanned aircraft are collecting information from inside storms.

　　The first Vortex project took place in nineteen ninety-four and nineteen ninety-five.The results helped scientists better understand super-cells.They are the severe thunderstorms that produce the most deadly and destructive tornadoes.This time，scientists hope to learn more about the formation，wind speed and shape of tornadoes.

　　American office workers spend an average of 52 hours a week at their desks，according to a statistic survey.Some might argue that not all that time is spent working，but still all those hours in windowless offices with artificial light can have an influence.

　　A few green additions could have a large effect on worker happiness，according to the survey led by Tina Cade from Texas State University.　

　　“We pretty much found out that if you had windows and plants or even if you just had plants in your office，you were more satisfied with your job，” Cade told LiveScience.“We thought it was important for offices because a lot of times people are looking for ways to keep employees happy and do all these expensive things like building a gym.Maybe for less investment they could put in a few plants in important places.”

　　The team surveyed 450 office workers in Texas and the Midwest，asking questions about job satisfaction and the work environments.When asked about their overall life quality,82 said they felt“content” or “very happpy”．Only 69 percent of those who work with plants but without windows，and 60 percent of those who have windows but no plants，said they felt this way.

　　The group of people who work without plants or windows were

　　the most dissatisfied，with only 58 percent of them saying that overall they were “content” or “very happy”．While no one who works with plants，windows，or both reported they felt“miserable”，0.8 percent of those who work in offices without either said they were “miserable”．“I was really surprised that having a plant in your office appeared to be more beneficial than having a window in your office，”Cade said.“Everybody says，‘I need a window！’but actually it seemed like a plant could be a suitable alternative.”

　　【解题导语】 调查研究发现，在办公室的关键位置摆放绿色植物有助于提高文员的工作快乐指数，相比花费巨资建设健身场馆和活动室，这不失为一剂良方。

　　1．解析：主旨考查题。通篇是围绕在办公室里摆放绿色植物可增加工作快乐指数而展开的。

　　答案：A

　　2．解析：细节辨认题。第四段的头两句说：接受调查的有450人，其中82人满意。其他的数据都不是根据450这个数字计算出来的。室内有植物但没窗户的人，69%满意，有窗户没植物的满意率是60%；第五段中，既没窗户又没植物的环境下的人，有0.8%说 “糟糕”。

　　答案：D

　　3．解析：细节辨认题。倒数第一段已经说的很明确，在接受调查的人群中，办公室没有窗子或室内没有植物的感到最不满意。

　　答案：D

　　4．解析：细节归纳题。根据第三段的后半部分的 “好多次人们想方设法让雇员满意，不惜花费巨资修建健身房。抑或，少投点资，在重要位置摆放点植物就可以” 以及文章的最后的 “……事实上，一株植物就是合适的替代” 可归纳出：要增加文员工作的幸福指数，有时不必花费巨资。

　　答案：B

　　5．解析：体裁判断题。从通篇所使用的语言来看，里面既没有深奥的科技术语，也没有官方的规定等，因此该文属于一般科普文章。
