2．The first thing that Valoy saw when she put on color-blind corrective glasses was green - the vibrancy（活力） of the grass and tree - and later，the brilliance of red in stop signs and flowers.Valoy says it's unbelievable and she has struggled with certain topics，especially the painting class in school and she would even paint the ocean purple before that.
Valoy wasn't diagnosed with red-green color blindness until the fourth grade. "For the past 17 years，I've lived in a 'black and white movie'，" the recent Louis E.Dieruff High School graduate says.But not anymore.The transformative moment all started with a public speaking class Valoy took.After she made an informative speech about growing up with her color deficiency （缺陷），her teacher，Sandy Kile，was inspired to teach the class a more important life lesson.
Kile made a suggestion that the class should reach out to companies that produced corrective glasses to see if they would donate a pair to Valoy.While Kile encouraged Valoy to write a description of living in a world with mostly shades of grey and brown，her classmates wrote accompanying statements about why she needed the glasses. "I didn't expect much for that，" Valoy says. "Professor Kile truly believed it was going to happen but we were not sure."
It wasn't so surprising when the first company turned down their request.Then，the class received reply from the founder of Pilestone Inc.，offering Valoy and six other community members his glasses for free. "We started this business by trying to make some difference to people，" founder Ben Zhuang says.
Valoy is grateful to Kile and her classmates for their efforts.But Kile says that she is very glad the students have the chance to realize the significance of lending a hand to those in need，and that being able to aid Valoy in changing her life is something she will never forget the rest of her life.
（1）Why is Valoy's painting class mentioned？
A．To stress her serious attitude to study.
B．To give an instance of her sufferings.
C．To support wearing collective glasses.
D．To stop people from having color blindness.
（2）How did Valoy feel when Kile offered the advice？
A．Satisfied.
B．Thankful.
C．Negative.
D．Uncertain.
（3）What do we know about Valoy？
A．She delivered a speech to call for donation.
B．She only understood black and white movies.
C．She wasn't the only one to get the glasses.
D．She didn't know her problem until she was 17.

3．If you could live forever，would you want to？The challenge of keeping your body alive seems impossible，but some scientists are working on an alternative.They want to create a digital copy of your "self" and keep that copy "alive" long after your physical body has stopped functioning.
In effect，their plan is to clone a person electronically.Unlike ordinary physical clones-which have identical features as their parents，but which are independent organisms，each with a different conscious self-your electronic clone would believe itself to be you.
One plan relies on the development of nanotechnology（納米技術(shù)）.Ray Kurzweil，a leading futurist，predicts that within two or three decades we will have tiny transmitters that can be injected into the brain.Once there they would line up alongside neurons and monitor the details of the brain's activity.They would then be able to transmit that information to receivers inside a special helmet，allowing us to map the brain.
As a further step，Kurzweil foresees using these tiny transmitters to connect you to a world of virtual reality.With the transmitters in place，you could think your way onto the Internet.Instead of seeing pictures on a screen，you would see them in your mind.Rather than send emails to your friends，you could meet them on some virtual tropical beach and exchange messages in "virtual person".
For a futurist like Ray，this would be heaven，a virtual heaven.Once you upload the brain onto the Internet and log on to that virtual world，your body can be left to decompose（腐爛） while your virtual self can play games for as long as you wish.
However，there is still a problem.To exist on the net，your virtual self will have to live on the computer of a web-hosting company.These companies want to be paid real money，or they will delete your "self" and sell the space to someone else.With your body long gone，how will you pay？
（1）What do the scientists intend to do？
A．To clone an ordinary person.
B．To create a digital copy of a person.
C．To making a man live longer.
D．To produce independent organisms.
（2）What might happen once you upload your brain onto the Internet？
A．You can map the brain.
B．You can play computer games.
C．You can keep your virtual self alive.
D．You can become conscious.
（3）What does "heaven" refer to in this passage？
A．The deepest part of their imagination.
B．Somewhere high above the atmosphere.
C．The place of God and external happiness.
D．The virtual world on the Internet.
（4）What benefit may digital technologies bring according to the author？
A．Extending your "existence".
B．Eventually replacing physical human beings.
C．Enriching your lives with more spare time.
D．Lengthening your physical body.組卷：3引用：2難度：0.5

9．閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)所給情節(jié)進(jìn)行續(xù)寫，使之構(gòu)成一個(gè)完整的故事。
The event that stands out in Tom's memory happened one morning when Tom was only ten years old.He was at home with his elder sister Jane.Tom was doing his homework when he heard raised voices.At first he thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop directly below their flat often became loud，but he soon realized this time it was different.
"Quick!Quick!Remove the motorcycles from the shop." someone yelled.
Then a thick burning smell filled the air.When Tom opened the front door of their flat to investigate，a thick cloud of smoke greeted him.The motorcycle shop had caught fire and people were running and crying.
Jane，who had been playing the violin in her room，hurried to the living room.They rushed out of the door and along the corridor（走廊） through the smoke.
They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Jane stopped in her track.She turned around and headed back the way they came.Tom had no idea what she was doing，but he followed her.
Jane had suddenly remembered the lady in her 70s who lived next door to them，who they called Makcik，Malay for auntie.Jane began banging on Makcik's door，but got no answer.As the smoke thickened around them，Tom could see many of their neighbors-some still in their pyjamas-running for safety.The thought of fear crossed his mind.
"She would have run for safety like everyone else!" Tom cried.However，Jane refused to give up. "I know Makcik's still inside." She said she was familiar with Makcik's daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping.She pounded the door. "Go downstairs.Go now!Go!"
