16．

IBM，the technology company has released its latest"5in 5"report．The expert think five development will become reality within the next five years．Scientists at IBM and other companies are researching ways to make the predictions come true．
They say people will soon have a way to just think about calling or e-mailing someone in order to make it happen．It's a simple ability to command a system to do something for you without actually doing or saying anything，literally thinking and having something happen as a result that's accurate．Something with really deep capability so that a person，for instance，a quadriplegic，a paraplegic can actually utilize brainwaves to make things happen and basically run their own lives independently．
Another prediction is a way for people to power their homes and offices using energy from activities like walking or running．For example，you can see somebody in the third world who has access to a phone or a smart phone but doesn't have access to the power grid（电力网），and literally a shoe can help gain energy from walking and can charge the battery to enable that person to actually become a connected with the rest of the world．
Passwords could soon become a thing of the past．Some of the most common biometrics used to identify people are fingerprints，face and voice recognition，and iris scans．The iris is the colored part of the eye．Dr．Bernie Myerson says this technology will soon be more widely used by money machines and other devices．
Another prediction is from the experts at EBM：better technology to prevent unwanted e-mail．"The device，as you act upon it，as you eliminate mail，you don't read it，you just look at it and kill it，after a while it learns your habits and works for you as your assistant by eliminating stuff you never wanted anyway，"says Dr．Bernie Myerson．
The last on IBM's 5in 5list is an end to the"digital divide"between those who have technology and those who do not．Dr．Bernie Myerson says，"Think about the digital divide today：the haves and the have-nots，people who are and are not connected．We expect within five years，better than80% coverage of the world's populations by cellular to smartphones．At that point，imagine having，for instance，the ability to speak openly with anybody anywhere，anytime and any language--real time translation．

47．In the first prediction，people will soon have a way to make things happen byA．
A．using brainwaves
B．e-mailing somebody
C．making a call
D．talking to somebody
48．from the example in Para.3，we can learn that in the third worldA．
A．people may have no access to electricity
B．more people are possessing smart phones
C．people can gain energy merely from shoes
D．scientists are trying to set up the power grid
49．The"device"mentioned in Para.5can help you toD．
A．from your e-mail reading habit
B．read e-mail as your assistant
C．send e-mail much more freely
D．delete your unwanted e-mail
50．What can be inferred from the last paragraph？C
A．The problem with the digital divide has been dealt with．
B．Only 20% of people still have no access to hi-tech phones．
C．There may be no language barriers among people using smart phones．
D．People from every corner of the world can be connected by the Internet．

3．Sometimes you'll hear people say that you can't love others until you love yourself．Sometimes you'll hear people say that you can't expect someone else to love you until you love yourself．Either way，you've got to love yourself first and this can be tricky．Sure we all know that we're the apple of our parent's eyes，and that our Grandmas think we're great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics．But sometimes it's a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves．If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge，it is time you built a positive self-image and learn to love yourself．
Self-image is your own mind's picture of yourself．This image includes the way you look，the way you act，the way you talk and the way you think．Interestingly，our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us．Unfortunately，most of these images are more negative than they should be．Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world．
The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes．That is，make a list of you need to，but write down all of the great things you do every day．Don't allow doubts to occur in it．
It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can't move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself．Well，roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task．If you think you're silly because you aren't good at math，find a tutor．If you think you're weak because you can't run a mile，get to the track and practice．If you think you're dull because you don't wear the latest trends，buy a few new clothes．
The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective，and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities．Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image．When you can pat yourself on the back，you'll know you're well on your way．Good luck!

C．are unconfident about yourself D．have a high opinion of yourself
59．How should you change your self-image according to the passage？D
A．To keep a different image of others．
B．To accept your weaknesses．
C．To understand your own world．
D．To change the way you think．
60．What is the passage mainly about？C

13．遛狗时，你那么不小心，以致狗被车撞了．
Whilewalkingthedog，you were so careless that it was hit by a car．

20．All that hard work，all that hardship，all the time spent underground，it was all for the families．It was all for you．For a car in the driveway，a roof overhead．For a chance to give their kids opportunities that they would never know，and enjoy retirement with their loves and lovers．It was all in the hopes of something better．And so these miners lived-as they died-dreaming of the American Dream．
There，in the mines，for their families，they became a family themselves--sharing birthdays，relaxing together，watching Mountaineers football or basketball together，spending days off together，hunting or fishing．They may not have always loved what they did，said a sister，but they loved doing it together．They loved doing it as a family．They loved doing it as a community．
That community was showed for all to see in the minutes，and hours，and days after the tragedy．Rescuers，risking their own safety，searching for narrow tunnels filled with methane（甲烷） and carbon monoxide（一氧化碳），hoping against hope they might find a survivor．Friends keeping porch lights on in a nightly vigil（守夜）； hanging up homemade signs that read，"Pray for our miners，and their families．"Neighbors consoling each other，and supporting each other and leaning on one another．
I've seen it，the strength of that community．In the days that followed the disaster，emails and letters poured into the White House．Postmarked from different places across the country，they often began the same way："I am proud to be from a family of miners．""I am the son of a coal miner．""I am proud to be a coal miner's daughter．"（Applause．） They were always proud，and they asked me to keep our miners in my thoughts，in my prayers．Never forget，they say，miners keep America's lights on．（Applause．） And then in these letters，they make a simple plea：Don't let this happen again．（Applause．） Don't let this happen again．
How can we fail them？How can a nation that relies on its miners not do everything in its power to protect them？How can we let anyone in this country put their lives at risk by simply showing up to work； by simply pursuing the American Dream？
We cannot bring back the 29men we lost．They are with the Lord now．Our task，here on Earth，is to save lives from being lost in another such tragedy； to do what must do，individually and collectively，to assure safe conditions underground--（applause）--to treat our miners like they treat each other--like a family．（Applause．） Because we are all family and we are all Americans．（Applause．） And we have to lean on one another，and look out for one another，and love one another，and pray for one another．
God bless our miners．（Applause．） God bless their families．God bless West Virginia．（Applause．） And God bless the United States of America．（Applause．）
