In India, most of us wouldlook at the reduction (减少) of textbooks as a way out. But in a country like America,there are always more choices. A company called goReader has created a “schoolbag” which is the size of a laptop computer, weighing about 2.5 kg. The goReader hasa color screen and can “hold” all the textbooks that student may need, says a report inTheAsian Agenewspaper.The company plans to work closely with the publishers(出版商) of textbooks sothat these books can be supplied on the Internet. All the students will have to do is todownload their textbooks. Making notes and marking important parts of a lesson canbe done just as lots of students have done on their textbooks before.At present, the plan is being tested out in university. Richard Katzmann, theowner of the company is having his creation tested at Chicagos DePaul University,where he studied. Does that mean it is goodbye to the new paper, and the smell of theblack ink?44. What does the underlined word “bulky” in the first line mean?A. lightB. smallC. big and heavyD. old45. The writer may think that Americans have a _ way to solve the problem.A. more stupidB. worseC. betterD. quicker46. The goReader may be a machine _.A. that can work as a teacherB. that can be used as textbooksC. that can cheat studentsD. that can hurt students747. When the new machine is used, it is possible that _.A. students might study harderB. students might study at homeC. students might not need teachersD. students might study without paper textbooksCWhenever you walk past a cafe, you might walk into it because of the smell offreshly made coffee. But the minute you try this dark drink you will regret(后悔) it,because it tastes like bitter Chinese medicine.Why does something that smells so good taste so bad? Many people want toknow the reason for it. Now scientists say they find the answer-it lies in our “secondsense of smell.”“We have two senses of smell,” explained Barry Smith, professor of theUniversity of London.“One is when you breathe( 呼 吸 ) in things from theenvironment, and the other is when the air comes up the nose and is breathed outthrough the nose”.When we drink coffee, for example, the act of swallowing (吞咽) sends burst ofsmell up the back of our nose from inside the mouth. This wakes up the second senseof smell in our brain. But it is weaker and less sensitive to flavors (味道) .So it givesus a completely different feeling.In fact, the second sense of smell plays an important part in our eatingexperience. Many people believe that we smell through our nose and taste using ourtongue(舌头). But the truth is 80 percent of what we think of as taste actually reachesus through smell. Just hold your nose while eating and you will notice that yourtongue can only catch a very small part of the flavor.48. Why does something that smells so good taste so bad?A. Because we have two senses of smell.B. Because our “second sense of smell” works.C. Because different people have different tastes.8D. Because people have both tongues and noses.49. Which of the following is NOT true?A. We have two senses of smell.B. The tongue can only catch a small part of the flavor.C. The first sense of smell is weaker and less sensitive to flavors.D. We usually think we smell through our nose and taste using our tongue.50. The underlined word “sensitive” in the fourth paragraph means _.A. 敏感的B. 迟钝的C. 强烈的D. 虚弱的51. The best title for this story is _.A. Smell good or taste bad.B. Second sense of smellC. Coffee tastes like bitter Chinese medicine.D. Our tongue and noseDHow important is shopping to you? How much time do you spend buying things?In the future, how much time will you spend in movie theaters, at shopping malls, orat convenience stores(便利店)? When you add it all up, you will probably see youspend a lot of your life consuming(消费) things. Consuming products is not bad.However, if we spend too much time doing it, we should look at it carefully.Imagine(想象) that you have a week off from school. However, in this week, youcannot spend any money - no shopping, no movies, no eating out. How would youspend your time? What things would bring you happiness? Perhaps you would take awalk with your best friend. Perhaps you would help a child read. Or you might spendtime with your family.When we look back, it is likely that non-consuming experiences(经历) like thesewill be our most important memories( 记忆). Why? Non-consuming activities areactive. They dont come in a package(包裹). You make the experience yourself. Forexample, each person who reads to a child will have different experience. Theexperience changes with the reader, the child, and the book. However, if you watch amovie with friend, you will each have a packaged experience.Now we have lots of such packaged experiences. We feel that we must consume9because we believe that buying is doing. However, we can start a personalrevolution(变革) against consumerism(消费主义). How? By consuming less. We canask ourselves what experiences bring us the greatest satisfaction. Then we canorganize(组织) our lives so that we have more of those kinds of experiences.52.According to the passage, the writer believes that _.A. we can say no to consumerism by consuming lessB. buying things can bring us the greatest satisfactionC. the environment seldom influences our shopping choicesD. consuming experiences will be our most important memories53.

To introduce some ways of enjoying our spare time.D. To share his personal experience in consuming products.55. Which may be the best title of this article?A. Buying is doing?B. How to consume lessB. Consume experiencesD. How can we spend our life?第第卷卷非非选选择择题题(共共 45 分分)(请将答案填写在答题卷上)五五、填填空空（共共 15 小小题题；每每小小题题 1 分分，满满分分 15 分分）A）根根据据括括号号中中所所给给的的汉汉语语写写出出单单词词，使使句句子子意意思思完完整整正正确确。56.
