閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A，B，C和D）中選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

If you have made an agreement to go out to eat with someone, you should be clear who is paying. If the other suggests you have lunch with him or her, you might simply say something like this:“I'm afraid it'll have to be some place inexpensive as I have very little money.”The other person may say,“OK, I'll meet you at McDonald's.”This means it is agreed that each person pays for his own meal, i. e. that you “go Dutch”. If the person says,“Oh, no. I'll take you to lunch in a little restaurant I like very much,”it means that the person wants to pay the bill for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this person, there's no reason why you should not accept this invitation by simply saying “Thank you. That would be very nice.”If a person invites you to his or her home for a meal, it's understood that person is paying. If you invite someone to your home, it's understood that you are buying the food. If you want to invite someone out for lunch, you must also make yourself clear by saying, perhaps,“I'd like to take you to lunch tomorrow at the Hostess Inn Coffee Shop”(meaning you plan to buy the food) or“l(fā)et's have lunch together tomorrow at Burger King. It's on me.”American women used to expect men to pay for all meals, but today most women will pay for themselves. However, you should always make your position clear. Being clear is the polite thing to do. It is lack of clarity (明了) that causes loss of face in this situation.

1．According to the passage, if someone asks you to go out to eat, ________.

[　　]

A．it shows he wants to pay for you

B．it doesn't necessarily meant that he wants to pay for you

C．you should ask him to go out to eat next time

D．you should refuse him if you don't like him

2．The underlined part“go Dutch”means ________.

[　　]

A．each paying for himself

B．buying the food at a store

C．paying for the two of you

D．going to some inexpensive place

3．Which of the following is true according to the passage?

[　　]

A．Men are expected to pay for women when they are eating out.

B．One should accept another person's invitation if he isn't one's good friend.

C．“It's on me.”means“I'll pay for the meal.”

D．If you are invited to someone's house for a meal, you should bring some gifts.

3．In order not to lose face, ________.

[　　]

A．one should try to pay for others

B．one should not eat out without carrying a lot of money

C．one shouldn't let a woman pay for him

D．one should make oneself clear and understood

Microwaves may be great at warming up food, but what about warming people?
Using microwaves to directly heat owners of a room would save much of the energy wasted by heating walls and furniture. And despite popular ideas about microwaves, this technique would be safe, according to Charles R. Burlier of the Microwave Research Center in Marlborough, New Hampshire. Low-power microwaves only penetrate (貫穿) the skin (low-power microwave penetration in a ham is about 0.2 inches, for example) and with no negative effects.
To test this idea, Buffler subjected himself to microwaves in a special room using a standard 500-watt, 2459 MHz magnetron (磁控管). He found that a person will start to feel warmth at about 20 milliwatts per square centimeter (mw. / sq. cm. ) ; a satisfactory feeling of warmth occurs between 35 and 50mw. / sq. cm. By comparison, a person standing in noonday summer sun feels the amount of 85 mw. / sq. cm. And a frozen meat pie in your microwave oven receives about 1000 mw. / sq. cm.
In houses of the future, each room could be provided with its own magnetron, says Buffler. When you stepped into the living room, for example, a motion detector (運(yùn)動(dòng)感應(yīng)器)would turn on the magnetron, filling the room with low-power microwaves. In the same way that a microwave oven heats up a hamburger, but not the plate it’s on, you would feel warmth from the microwaves without changing the temperature of your coffee table. (You could, however, make your favorite easy chair even more comfortable by treating it with a radiation-absorbing chemical.)
While it might be some time before homeowners are comfortable enough with the idea to set up whole-body microwave heaters in houses, Buffler says microwaves may attract livestock(家畜) farmers. Lambs that are born outdoors in winter, for example, are frequently lost to cold. Microwaves could warm the lambs safely and quickly.
【小題1】Which of the following can tell the main idea of the passage?

A．A new heating system.B．A new microwave oven.
C．A popular technique. D．The magnetron.
【小題2】According to Paragraph 2, which of the following does not describe the characteristics of a microwave heater?
A．It directly heats people in a room.
B．It heats walls and furniture in a room.
C．It is safe.
D．It saves energy.
【小題3】The test conducted by Buffler shows that when a person feels comfortable warmth, he receives about ________________.
A．20 mw. / sq. cm.B．40 mw. / sq. cm.C．60 mw. / sq. cm. D．85 mw. / sq. cm.
【小題4】According to Paragraph 4, which of the following fills the room with low-power microwaves?
A．The magnetron.B．The motion detector.
C．The microwave oven.D．The radiation-absorbing chemical.
【小題5】Which of the following statements about microwave heaters would Buffler most probably agree with?
A．Microwave heaters will soon be widely used by homeowners.
B．Microwave heaters sometimes make people feel uncomfortable.
C．Perhaps microwave heaters will be first used by livestock farmers, who wish to protect their lambs in winter.
D．Microwave heaters cannot be accepted by the public because they are somewhat unsafe.

As I write this, I have half an eye on an old James Bond film that is showing on my computer. But this is a story about how I stopped watching TV and began reading again for pleasure, after ten years in which I hardly turned a page.
I suppose I was an enthusiastic reader of "literature" between the ages of nine and fourteen. I had enough time to be White Fang, Robinson Crusoe, and Bilbo Baggins and Jeeves. Of course there was room in the schoolboy's imagination for some real historical figures: Scott of the Antarctic, all of the Vikings, and Benjamin Franklin were good friends of mine.
Then, in adolescence, I began a long search for strange and radical (激進(jìn)的) ideas. I wanted to challenge my elders and betters, and shock my fellow students with amazing points of view. Of course, the only place to look was in books. I hunted out the longest titles and the authors with the funniest names; I searched the library for completely unread books. Then I found one which became my bible for the whole of 1982, it had a title composed of eleven long words and an author whose name I didn't know how to pronounce. It was really thick and looked dead serious. Even better, it put forward a whole world-view that would take days to explain. Perfect. I took it out of the library three times, proud to see the date-stamps lined up on the empty library insert.
Later, I went to university. Expecting to spend long evenings in learned discussion with clever people, I started reading philosophy. For some reason I never found the deep-thinking intellectuals I hoped to meet. Anyway, I was ready to impress with my profound (深?yuàn)W的) knowledge of post-structuralism, existentialism and situationism. These things are usually explained in rather short books, but they take a long time to get through. They were the end of my youthful reading.
Working life was hard to get used to after so much theory. It was the end of books for me. There didn't seem to be much in books that would actually get things done. To do things you had to answer the telephone and work a computer. You had to travel about and speak to people who weren't at all interested in philosophy. I didn't stop reading, you can't avoid that. I read all day. But no books came my way, only manuals (操作手冊(cè)) and contracts and documents. Maybe most people satisfy their need for stories and ideas with TV and, to tell the truth, it was all I needed for ten years. In those days I only had a book "on the go" for the duration of aeroplane flights. At first I would come home and watch TV over dinner. Then, I moved the TV so I could watch it from bed. I even got a switch so I could turn it off without getting out of bed. Then, one fateful day, my TV broke and my landlady took it away.
My new TV is an extra circuit board (電路板) inside my computer. It's on a desk in front of a working chair and I can't see it from the bed. I still use it for the weather forecasts and it's nice to have it on while I'm typing this… but what to do last thing at night? Well, have another go with books.
Now, I just like books. I have a pile of nice ones by my bed and I'm reading about six at the same time. I don't want to be any of the characters. I don't care if a thousand people have already read them. I don't have to search through libraries. There are books everywhere and all of them have something to read in them. I have the strange feeling that they've been there all along, waiting for me to pick them up.
【小題1】The writer enjoyed reading “l(fā)iterature” between the ages of nine and fourteen because ________.

A．he thought it was important for a schoolboy to do so
B．he was still too young to understand other books
C．he believed all the real historical figures were his friends
D．he could imagine himself being the characters in the books
【小題2】“Existentialism” (in paragraph 4) is probably ________.
A．a(chǎn) library intended for teenagersB．a(chǎn) kind of books on traditions
C．a(chǎn) philosophy theoryD．a(chǎn) kind of reading skill
【小題3】The main reason the writer stopped reading books was that ________.
A．he found watching TV was more interesting
B．he became too busy to read any books
C．he found books were of little use to his work
D．he had to read a lot of manuals, contracts and documents
【小題4】Now the writer starts to read books again ________.
A．to find back his youth in booksB．for the pure pleasure of reading
C．so as to help kill his spare timeD．for only business purposes
【小題5】Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A．The Years with BooksB．Books and TV Programs
C．Don’t Judge a Book by Its CoverD．Reading Makes One Excellent

A Battery’s Worst Nightmare(噩夢(mèng))

     Portable electronics that can be carried about easily are only as good as their batteries and, let’s face it, batteries aren’t very good, especially when compared with, say, petrol, which packs 100 times a battery’s energy into an equal space. That’s why a large group of mechanical engineers (centered at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but with partners at other universities and companies) are hard at work in an effort to replace batteries with a tiny engine that runs on fuel. Imagine a battery-free life!When the fuel runs out in your laptop or mobile phone, you just fill up and go.

    The engine, about the size of a ten-cent coin, starts with a combustion chamber (燃燒室) that burns hydrogen (氫). Its tiny parts are etched onto silicon wafers (硅片) in the same manner that computer parts are imprinted onto integrated circuits (集成電路). The first engine is made up of five wafers. And since these wafers could be produced in much the same way as computer chips, they could probably be produced quite cheaply.

     But the devil in all this nice detail is efficiency(效率). Tiny engine parts don’t always behave like their scaled-up parts of the first engine. Something between the parts can slow down the work, according to Columbia University professor Luc Frechette, one of the engine’s designers. Extreme heat from the combustion chamber is also a problem, often leaking to other parts of the engine.

    The scientists’ goal is to create an engine that will operate 10 times better than batteries do. Frechette says that a complete system, with all parts in place and working, will be set up in the next couple of years, but commercial models aren’t available until at least the end of the next ten years. 

1..

. According to the passage, the title suggests that ________.

    A. batteries should be greatly improved           B. petrol will be used instead of batteries

    C. the time of batteries will be gone forever    D. pollution caused by batteries must be prevented

2..

 What’s the meaning of the underlined word “devil” (In Paragraph 3)?

     A. Problem.　           B. Advantage.　        C. Invention.　                 D. Technique.

3..

 What can we infer from the passage?

A. The new invention doesn’t need any fuel. 

B. The new engine has been produced in quantity.

    C. The new invention is much cheaper than the battery.

    D. The new engine needs to be improved before it’s on sale.

4..

. What is the main purpose of this passage?

    A. To introduce a new invention to readers.        B. To persuade readers not to use batteries.

    C. To show us how the new invention works. 　　D. To declare when the engine will be on sale.
