For no reason your car would crash twice a day.2. Every time they repaired the lines on the road you would have to buy a new car.3. Sometimes your car would die on the free way for no reason and you would just accept this, restart and drive on.4. Only one person at a time could use the car, unless you bought “Car95” or Car NT”.

People would get excited about the “ new” features in Microsoft cars, forgetting completely they had been available in other cars for many years.7. The airbag system would say: “Are you sure?” before going off.8. Every time GM introduced a new model car, buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.9.

But in fact, an unknown citizen who lived in Rome in 52 wrote it.We all love new inventions. They are exciting , amazing and can even change our lives.But have all these developments really improved the quality of our lives?Picture this: Youre rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings, a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes empty and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How calm and happy do you feel?Inventions have speeded up(加速)our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed(壓力) and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no cars, not even electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they simpler lives.On e family in the UK went “back in time” to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10, and Thomas,7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones.The grandmother, Lyn, said, “It was hard physically, but not mentally.” She believed life was less materialistic. “The more things you have , the more difficult life becomes.” She said. The boys said they found less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a trendy, beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things.Here are some simple ways to beat the stress often caused by our inventions!Dont be available all the time. Turn off your mobile phone at certain times of the day.Dont check your e-mail every day.Dont reply to somebody as son as they leave a text message just because you can. It may be fun at first, but it soon gets boring.50. The passage is mainly about_. A. problems with technology B. improvements of our life with technology C. the important roles technology plays in our everyday life D. major changes which will be likely to happen to technology51. The writer quoted( 引用) what a citizen in ancient Rome said at the beginning of the story in order to _. A. share a truth about life B. tell us what life was like long time ago C. make us wonder what causes such a thing to happen D. point out that you experience some big problems and they may be the same52. The family chose to spend some time in a 1940s house because _. A. they liked to live simple lives B. they were curious about how people lived without modern inventions C. they were troubled by modern inventions D. living in a different time would be a lot of fun for them53. What do you think the underlined word “available” in the first suggestion offered by the writter means? A. Busy on line B. Free C. Able to be used D. Able to be found by others CTo be sure, only children experienced some things differently from those with sisters and brothers. Many feel more pressure to succeed. They also tend to look only to their parents as role models in the absence of brothers and sisters.In India, 10-year-old Saviraj Sankpal founded a support group for the tiny minority of only children. Among other things, the group does volunteer work to counter(反對) the myth that they are not responsible. “People think were treated too kindly and ruined,” says Sankpal, a computer engineering students. “But Id like to remind them how lonely it can get.”Most only children, however, say they wish for sisters or brothers only when it comes to caring for aging, unhealthy parents. Britains David Emerson, co-author of the book The Only Child, says that such a person bears terrible burden in having to make all the decisions alone. Emerson knows from experience: After his father died, he chose to move his elder mother from their family home, where she was vulnerable(易受攻擊的)to house breakers, to a new one with more security. “The move was quite hard on her, and she might feel that I pushed her into it,” he says. “After all, I am left with that responsibility.”In the future, more and more only children will likely face similar choices. With working mothers increasing, many families are finding they simply dont have the time, money or energy to have more than one child. As only children become common, perhaps the world will realize that the charge made against them is unjust.54. it can be inferred from the passage that the authors attitude towards only children is _. A. objective B. subjective C. ironic D. humorous55. It can be inferred from the passage that only childrens parents should_. A. do volunteer work to help their only children B. let their only children make all the decisions alone C. set good examples for their only children D. found a support group for their only children56. Emerson decided to move his elderly mother to a new house because he _. A. is the only who cares about her B. doesnt want to leave her alone C. wants to share the responsibility with her D. is worried about her safety57. It is quite usual now for a working mother to_. A. spend all her time and money on her only child B. be responsible for bringing up her only child C. have and bring up only one child D. devote all her energy to her job58. The main idea of the passage is that_. A. only children have to face many challenges B. only children are ruined and irresponsible C. most only children want to share their responsibility with their parents D. most only children have no brothers and sistersIV. 短文改錯 Dear Alice,  I have just got some good mews to tell to you.     59. _ I win a national prize for painting last week.           60. _ My father was so pleasing that he suggested          61. _ I go to England for a holiday. Id like to staying        62. _ There for half a month, visiting place of interest        63. _ Or practicing my English as well. Weve been          64. _ Writing to each for nearly a year now. I have          65. _ often dreamed of talk face to with you.               66. _ I imagine youll be at vacation yourself by that        67. _ Time. Perhaps we could go out to do some           10. _ sightseeing together.                             Best,                                    Lily V. 第二節(jié) 書面表達(dá) 假定你是李華，從小喜愛大熊貓（panda）,一直通過有關(guān)網(wǎng)站(website)關(guān)注三年前在美國圣迭哥動物園出生的大熊貓“蘇琳”和她的母親“白云”。現(xiàn)在蘇琳即將三歲。請根據(jù)以下要點(diǎn)給動物園工作人員寫一封信： 1、 自我介紹； 2、 祝賀蘇琳生日； 3、 感謝工作人員； 4、 索取蘇琳三歲生日照。 注意：1、詞數(shù)100左右；       2、可以適當(dāng)增加細(xì)節(jié)，以使行文連貫；       3、開頭語已為你寫好。 Dear Sir/Madam, Greetings from China! _ _ _                                                           Yours truly,                                                             Li Hua Unit three答案:I. 單項(xiàng)選擇:1-5CDBAD 6-10 CDCBD 11-15CCACB 16-20BCBBB 21-25 BABBBII. 完形填空:26-30ACADA 31-35CCBDA 36-40CCAAD 41-45BDBABIII. 閱讀理解:46-49DBAC 50-53 AABD 54-58 ACDCAIV. 短文改錯參考答案：59.   去掉to  60.  won   61. pleased/happy 62.   stay    63.   places   64.    and     65.   other   66.   talking 67.    on    68.        V. 書面表達(dá)參考答案： One Possible Version Dear Sir/ Madam, Greetings from Chian!
