He told the local newspaper the US traditional way of adding“Junior”or “II”after a boys name was too common. So, when his son was born last week, he decided on the name John Blake 2.0, as if he were a software programmer. Mr. Blake admitted that it took months to persuade his wife, Jamie, to accept the idea. Mrs. Blake said she asked several friends whether they could accept this name or not. “All the men,” she said, “felt the name was cool.” However，her women friends did not think so.“I think the women end up like it，”she said. Mr. Blake told the local newspaper he got the idea from a film called The Legend of 1900，in which an abandoned baby is given the name 1900 to remember the year of its birth. “I thought that if they can do it , why cant we?” he said. After little John version 2.0 was born, Mr. Blake even sent a celebratory e-mail to the family and friends, which was designed to look as if he and his wife had created a new software. “I wrote things like there are a lot of new features from Version 1.0 with additional features from Jamie,” he said.

By the year 2050,you might actually get your wish-if you are willing to leave your biological body and live in silicon circuits (半导体电路). But long before then, perhaps as early as 2020,some measures will begin offering a semblance of immortality (虚的永生). Researchers are confident that the technology will soon be able to track every waking moment of your life? Whatever you see and hear, all that you say and write, can be recorded, analyzed and added to your personal chronicles (履历). By the year 2030, it may be possible to catch your nervous systems through electrical activities, which would also keep your thoughts and emotions.Researchers at the laboratories of British Telecommunications have given the name of this idea as Soul Catcher. Small electronic equipment will make preparation for Soul Catcher. It would use a wearablesupercomputer, perhaps in a wristwatch, with wireless links to microseosors under your scalp (头皮) and in the nerves that carry all five sensory signals. So wearing a video camera would no longer be required.At first, the Soul Catchers companion system-the Soul Reader-might have trouble copying your thoughts in complete details. Even in 2030, we may still be struggling to understand how the brain is working inside, so reading your thoughts and understanding your emotions might not be possible. But these signals could be kept for the day when they can be transferred to silicon circuits to revitalize minds everlasting entities (永生实体). Researchers can only wonder what it will be like to wake up one day and find yourself alive inside a machine.For people who choose not to live in silicon, semblance of immortal it would not be as useless as they thought. People would know their lives would not be forgotten, but would be kept a record of the humanrace forever. And future generations would have a much fuller understanding of the past. History would not be controlled by just the rich and powerful, Hollywood stars, and a few thinkers in the upper society.38.The main idea of this passage is that_ .A. human beings long for living foreverB. there are many difficulties in making the Soul CatcherC. people can live forever as technology developsD. the invention of Soul Catcher has great importance39. According to this passage, a Soul Catcher will be_ .A. a new machine on which research measures have already been madeB. a new invention in order to catch and keep humans thoughtsC. made by British scientists to offer something that looks like living foreverD. made of silicon circuits which can catch peoples nervous activity40.We can infer from the passage that semblance of immortality is_.A. to be a reality sooner or laterB. far from certainC. just an idea that couldnt be realized at allD. a fading hope41.The meaning of the underlined word revitalize, in the fourth paragraph is close to_.A. make dead B. make famous C. make known D. make activeDResearchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90 percent of a strangers personality simply by looking at the persons shoes.“Shoes convey useful information about their wearers”, the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style, cost, color and condition of someones shoes. In the study, 63 University of Kansas researchers looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the studys participants. Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes, and then filled out a personality questionnaire. Some of the results were expected: People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes, and flashier shoes were typically worn by outgoing people. However，some of the more specific results are strange enough. For example, “practical and functionalshoes were generally worn by more“pleasant people, while ankle boots were more linked with “aggressive” personalities. The strangest of all may be that those who wore “uncomfortable looking” shoes tend to have “calm” personalities. And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take extreme care of them, you may suffer from“attachment anxiety, spending lots of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance. There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal (主张变革的) types wearing“shabbier and less expensive” shoes. The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personalities, but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were showing the deep side of their personalities. 42What does this text mainly tell us?AShoes Call hide peoples real personalitiesBShoes convey false information about the wearerCPeoples personalities call be judged by their shoesDPeople know little about their personalities43Which of the results is beyond peoples expectation?AWealthy people often wear expensive shoesBPleasant people like wearing uncomfortable shoesCAggressive people are likely to weal ankle bootsDFlashier shoes are typically worn by outgoing people44People suffering from“attachment anxiety” tend toAwear strange shoes Bworry about their appearanceChave a calm character Dbecome a political leader45The author wrote the text in order toAinform us of a new study Bintroduce a research methodCteach how to choose shoes Ddescribe different personalities第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分。满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Our mood may change suddenly like a storm with lightning and thunderbolts that comes without notice.
