根据下面材料,回答题。<br>Sleepless at Night<br>It was a normal summer night. Humidity (湿气) hung in the thick air. I couldn&39;t go to sleep,partly because of my cold and partly because of my expectations for the next day. My mum had said that tomorrow was going to be a surprise.<br>Sweat stuck to my aching body. Finally, I gathered enough strength to sit up. I looked out of my small window into the night. There was a big bright moon hanging in the sky, giving off a magic light.<br>I couldn&39;t stand the pressure anymore, so I did what I always do to make myself feel better. I went to the bathroom and picked up my toothbrush and toothpaste. I cleaned my teeth as if there was no tomorrow. Back and forth, up and down.<br>Then I walked downstairs to look for some signs of movement, some life. Gladiator, my cat frightened me as he meowed (喵喵地唱出) his sad song. He was on the old orange couch (长沙发),sitting up on his front legs, waiting for something to happen. He looked at me as if to show "I&39;m lonely, pet me. I need a good hug (紧抱)." Even the couch begged me to sit on it.<br>In one movement I settled down onto the soft couch. This couch represented my parents&39; marriage, my birth, and hundreds of other little events.<br>As I held Gladiator, my heart started beating heavily. My mind was flooded with questions:<br>What&39;s life? Am I really alive? Are you listening to me? Every time I moved my hand down Gladiator&39;s body, I had a new thought; each touch sang a different song.<br>I forgot all about the heat and the next day&39;s surprise. The atmosphere was so full of warmth and silence that I sank into its arms. Falling asleep with the big cat in my arms, I felt all my worries slowly move away.<br>The author of the passage could not go to sleep partly because__________. 查看材料

A. it was too cold

回答题。<br>Edward de Bone<br>Lateral thinking (迂回思维 ) , first described by Edward de Bone in 1967, is just a few years older than Edward&39;s son. You might imagine that Caspar was raised to be an adventurous thinker, but the de Bone was so famous, Caspar&39;s parents worried that any time he would say something bright at school, his teachers might snap, "Where do you get that idea from ? "<br>"We had to be careful and not overdo it,” Edward admits. Now Caspar is at Oxford--which once looked unlikely because he is also slightly dyslexic (诵读困难 ) . In fact, when he was applying to Oxford, none of his school teachers thought he had a chance. "So then we did several thinking sessions, " his father says, "using my techniques and, when he went up for the exam, he did extremely well." Soon after, Edward de Bone decided to write his latest book, "Teach Your Child How to Think" , in which he transforms the thinking skills he developed for brainstorming businessmen into informal exercises for parents and children to share.<br>Thinking is traditionally regarded as something executed in a logical sequence, and everybody knows that children aren&39;t very logical. So isn&39;t it an uphill battle, trying to teach them to think ? "You know, " Edward de Bone says, "if you examine people&39;s thinking, it is quite unusual to find faults of logic. But the faults of perception are huge! Often we think ineffectively because we take too limited a view." "Teach Your Child How to Think" offers lessons in perception improvement, of clearly seeing the implications of something you are saying and of exploring the alternatives.<br>What is TRUE about Caspar ? 查看材料

A. He is Edward"s son.
B. He is an adventurous thinker.
C. He first described lateral thinking.
D. He is often scolded by his teacher.

回答题。<br>Life at Home in the Year 2040<br>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 off and on again when you return. You will choose the temperature for each 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.<br>The sensors will work through the central computer, and they will do much more than just turn the 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 also 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 card--the one you use for shopping--maybe using a number known only to you.<br>It will be impossible to lose the key, and 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.<br>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 home. 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.<br>The author intends to tell us that__________ 查看材料

A. in 2040 we will live without the lights and heaters
B. in 2040 we will use much more lights and heaters
C. in 2040 lights and heaters will be on and off automatically
D. in 2040 there will be no switches of lights and heaters
