Is the universe unendingor are there boundaries? Are there other dimensions in space? What will happen whenit all ends? It is one of Stephen Hawkings bestsellers and a popular-science book on cosmology (宇宙学).Hawking first published the book with the intention to explain difficult theoretical ideas to people who are not expert at cosmology.Because Hawking wrote A Brief History of Time for non-expert readers with no previous knowledge of scientific theories, he used non-technical words about the structure, origin, development and possible ending of the universe, which is the goal of study of astronomy and modern physics.Throughout the chapters of the book, Hawking explains basic ideas like space and time, basic building blocks that make up the universe and the fundamental forces that govern it (such as gravity). He also writes about cosmological phenomena such as the Big Bang and black holes. Professor Hawking also discusses two major theories that modern scientists use to describe the universe, namely general relativity and quantum mechanics. Finally, the book also discusses the search for a uniting theory that describeseverything in the universe in a consistent way. Recent advances in science have confirmed many of ProfessorHawkings theoretical predictions in the first edition of this book.The book became a bestseller and sold more than 10 million copies in 30 years. It was also on theLondon Sunday Times bestseller list for more than five years and was translated into 35 languages by xx.24. What do we know about A Brief History of Time?A.

A science websiteC. A research paperD. A physics textbookCImagine you are living in a city a few decades from now. An average morning might look something like this:There will be no alarm clock at your wake-up time at least, not in the traditional form. Instead, youll be waken by the smell of freshly brewed coffee, by light entering your room as curtains open automatically,and by a gentle back massage (按摩) administered by your hi-tech bed. Youre more likely to awakerefreshed, because on your bed theres a special sensor that monitors your sleeping condition, determining concisely when to wake you so as not to interrupt your normal sleeping.Your apartment is an electronic orchestra and you are the conductor. With simple gestures and spoken instructions, you can control temperature, music and lighting. You are able to skim through the days news on a screen while a newly cleaned suit is delivered from your wardrobe. You head to the kitchen forbreakfast and the translucent (透明的) news display follows, as a digital image hovering just in front of you.You take a cup of coffee and some fresh bread, baked to perfection in your puter-controlled oven, and read through new emails on a screen in front of you. Your central puter system suggests a list of housework your robots should deal with today, all of which you approve.You take up notes for a presentation youll give later that day to important new colleagues abroad. All of your data from your personal and professional life is stored in the cloud, a remote digital-storagesystem. You own a few different digital devices (设备); one is the size of a tablet, another the size of apocket watch, while others might also be convenient to take with you. All will be lightweight, extremely fast and will use more powerful processors than anything available today.28. According to the text, what might wake you up in a future morning?A. A traditional alarm clockB. The taste of freshly brewed coffee C. A massage from your hi-tech bed D. The light switched on in the room29. What is the meaning of the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?A. You can control things in your apartment with simple instructions. B. Your apartment is a good place to conduct the orchestra.C. You can instruct an orchestra to do housework.D. Your apartment can instruct you to control many things.30. What will you do in a future morning?A. Deliver the newly cleaned suit from the wardrobe. B. Check a list of housework the robots will do.C. Control the oven to bake the bread. D. Make breakfast while reading news.31. What are the proper words to describe future digital devices?A. Personal and professionalB. Remote and systematicC. Light and convenientD. Powerful and availableDWhen I first came to Katine with the mission to assess the efficiency of Amrefs work, I was not weled by the Amref staff (员工). Amref is an African nonprofit organization which aims to help peoplein East Africa live a better life with the donations from the readers of The Gardian, the newspaper I work for. Amref staff knew I was a journalist and they were understandably nervous that any shortings might be reported in a way which would damage the organization.Over time, my relationship with the Amref team changed into normal condition. There were tensions, however, especially during the second year when, with my colleague Joseph Malinga, we started examining the effect of Amrefs work.We wrote true stories about the high costs of building Amorikot school. We questioned claims made in Amrefs reports and pointed out the poor condition of some of the new water sources. Unavoidably, this made Amref staff unfortable. It was clear some did not want these things reported. Sometimes we had to wait for days or weeks for a ment or explanation from the Amref staff about all the problems. Occasionally, the answers had not e by the time the story was published on the website. It was clearly difficult for Amref staff in the field to be under such pressure from the news.But as I leave Katine, my thoughts are of the people who used to drink dirty water but now have efficient pumps; of students who used to sit on the earth in shabby classrooms but now sit at desks in modern classrooms and have a chance to read a textbook; of farmers who benefited from loans and can now afford to send their children to better schools. All this has been thanks to generous donations from readers of the Guardian.Of course, many villages still have no safe water. Amorikot primary school still has too few teachers, and I carry with me the image of a mother wailing beside her baby, Winnie, who had just died partly because of a lack of malaria drugs in the health centre. Clearly Katine needs more support, but who will provide it?32. Why were the Amref staff nervous when the author first came to Katine?A. They couldnt help the people in East Africa.B. They received donations from readers of the Guardian. C. They are worried the journalist will report their faults. D. Their work efficiency was pretty low.33. How did the Amref staff react to the authors report?A. They explained thoroughly about the problems in the report. B. They denied the problems in the report.C. They were not influenced by the report.D. They were unwilling to explain or answer about the report.34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A. Peoples life has been improved.B. People finally got efficient pumps.C. Readers of the Guardians are very generous. D. Students could receive better education.35. How does the author feel at the end of the passage?A. OptimisticB. CuriousC. DelightedD.Worried 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。How to Do Basic First AidFirst aid is emergency care for a victim of sudden illness or injure until more skillful medical treatment is available. First aid may save a life or improve certain vital signs including pulse, temperature, and breathing.
