27、ose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. 30 Do you forget to turn off the lights and heaters when you go out of a room? In 2040 it will not matter. They will turn themselves offand on again when you return. You will choose the temperature for e
28、ach room, the lighting and the humidity. A sensor will detect the presence of a human (and, with luck, ignore the dog!) and turn the systems on, and when the humans leave it will turn them off again. The sensors will work through the central home computer, and they will do much more than just turn t
29、he fires and lights on and off for you. They will detect faulty electrical appliances, plugs or switches, isolate them so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the fire brigade. It will als
30、o call the police should the sensors detect an intruder. This will not be too difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic. You will open them using your personal cardthe one you use for shoppingmaybe using a number known only to you. It will be impossible to lose the key, and
31、 a housebreaker will have to tamper (拨弄 ) with the lock or with a window. It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal to the computer. The computer will be more than a fireman policeman servant. It will be an entertainer, and most of your entertainment will come right into your hom
32、e. It does now, of course, but by 2040 “entertainment“ will mean much more. For one thing, you will be able to take part actively, rather than just watching. 31 The author intends to tell us that_. （ A） in 2040 we will live without the lights and heaters （ B） in 2040 we will use much more lights and

The Olympian athletic festival held every four years in honour of Zeus, king of the Olympian G
37、ods, eventually lost its local character, became first a national event and then, after the rules against foreign competitors had been abolished, international. No one knows exactly how far back the Olympic Games go, but some official records date from 776 B. C. The games took place in August on the
38、 plain by Mount Olympus. Many thousands of spectators gathered from all parts of Greece, but no married woman was admitted even as a spectator. Slaves, women and dishonored persons were not allowed to compete. The exact sequence of events is uncertain, but events included boys gymnastics, boxing, wr
39、estling, horse racing and field events, though there were fewer sports involved than in the modern Olympic Games. On the last day of the Games, all the winners were honored by having a ring of holy olive leaves placed on their heads. So great was the honour that the winner of the foot race gave his
40、name to the year of his victory. Although Olympic winners received no prize money, they were, in fact, richly rewarded by their state authorities. How their results compared with modern standards, we unfortunately have no means of telling. After an uninterrupted history of almost 1 200 years, the Ga
41、mes were suspended by the Romans in 394 A. D. They continued for such a long time because people believed in the philosophy behind the Olympics: the idea that a healthy body produced a healthy mind, and that the spirit of competition in sports and games was preferable to the competition that caused
42、wars. It was over 1 500 years before another such international athletic gathering took place in Athens in 1896. Nowadays, the Games are held in different countries in turn. The host country provides vast facilities, including a stadium, swimming pools and living accommodation, but competing countri
43、es pay their own athletes expenses. The Olympics start with the arrival in the stadium of a torch, lighted on Mount Olympus by the suns rays. It is carried by a succession of runners to the stadium. The torch symbolized the continuation of the ancient Greek athletic ideals, and it burns throughout t
44、he games until the closing ceremony. The well-known Olympic flag, however, is a modern conception, the five interlocking rings symbolize the uniting of all five continents participating in the Games. 36 In ancient Greece, the Olympic Games_. （ A） were merely national athletic festivals （ B） were in
45、the nature of a national event with a strong religious colour （ C） had rules which put foreign participants in a disadvantageous position （ D） were primarily national events with few foreign participants 37 In the early days of ancient Olympic Games_. （ A） only male Greek athletes were allowed to pa
46、rticipate in the games （ B） all Greeks, irrespective of sex, religion or social status, were allowed to take part （ C） all Greeks, with the exception of women, were allowed to compete in the Games （ D） all male Greeks were qualified to compete in the Games 38 The order of athletic events at the anci
47、ent Olympics_. （ A） has not definitely been established （ B） varied according to the number of foreign competitors （ C） was decided by Zeus, in whose honour the Games were held （ D） was considered unimportant 39 Modern athletes results cannot be compared with those of ancient runners because_. （ A）
48、the Greeks had no means of recording the results （ B） they are much better （ C） details such as the time were not recorded in the past （ D） they are much worse 40 Nowadays, the athletes expenses are paid for_. （ A） out of the prize money of the winners （ B） out of the funds raised by the competing n
49、ations （ C） by the athletes themselves （ D） by contributions 41 You wouldnt expect an Information Age company like Intel to get on the wrong side of environmentalists, but the companys recent 42 billion expansion at Rio Rancho, New Mexico, plunged the worlds largest semiconductor maker into an age-old Western problem., water rights.
