一、阅读理解（共33小题，计45分）阅读下面3篇短文，并按短文后的要求作答。
AEmma and Ryan, a married couple, were driving to a friend’s house when Emma turne d to Ryan and asked, “Would you like to stop for lunch?”Ryan replied, “No, I’m not hungry yet.” and continued driving. Meanwhile, Emma sat quietly fuming in the passenger seat. 1 He had thought she was asking if he was hungry, but in reality, Emma was telling him that she was hungry and wanted to stop for lunch.2 Deborah Tannen, professor of linguistics at Georgetown University in the United States, has studied conversational differences between men and women, and believes that some problems occur because men and women may grow up with different conversational rules.In Emma and Ryan’s situation, Emma was making a request in the form of a question. 3 She needed Ryan to agree they were both hungry. So, Emma asked Ryan what he wanted. She was really telling Ryan what she wanted, however, Ryan did not understand this. If he had been hungry, he would have said something more direct, such as “I’m hungry. L et’s have lunch.”Tannen believes that most women grow up in a world where talk is used to express feelings, to stay emotionally close to friends and partners, and to reach agreement. However, she believes that most men are raised differently and they tend to keep their feelings to themselves.4 Every day they meet for lunch and Alana sees this as an opportunity to talk and become close. However, she usually gets frustrated because Oliver does not start much of the conversation, and instead, is happy to eat in silence.Tannen says, for men like Oliver, talk is often used as a contest, to be used outside the home to gain respect, to entertain and get attention, and exchange information. 5 These men do not always feel it is necessary to talk to feel close or to express their feelings. Women, on the other hand, are encouraged to speak about their feelings since this is a way to build relationships.It is no wonder that misunderstandings occur between men and women and as a result, relationships become strained. Even though we might be speaking the same language, our conversational differences sometimes make it difficult to communicate effectively.从Ａ、B、C、D、E五个选项中选出合适的选项填入文中1~5五个空白处，使短文意思通顺、连贯。

Some of us even make lists of them. One survey recently named the toilet as the world’s greatest ever invention, while another named the bicycle. Anyway, t hey’re the past, but what about the future? What inventions will shape our lives? J.B.S Haldance, a British scientist warned that whatever hadn’t happened would happen and no one would be safe from it. Whether you agree or not, one thing is beyond doubt: human beings need to invent a few things pretty quickly. Here is our own list.Number one is a new source of power. Oil is running out. It would take millions of years to produce fresh oil. Once our oil is gone, it’s gone forever. We have about 50 years’ wo rth left, less if rates of industrialization accelerate. A hundred million new cars will need lots of oil. At a recentconference about the world’s future, scientist Hilary Craft said we had already found the answer: solar power. She suggested that we could expect enormous mirrors in the sky that would reflect sunlight and provide the world’s electricity. We wait with bated breath.Number two on our list is a waste processor. Throughout most of history we just threw the rubbish out the back door. If the ju ngle didn’t swallow it, wild animals would get it. Once the jungles disappeared, we started burying our waste underground or chucking it into the sea. Now we’re running out of space. If we want to avoid choking the Earth, we’d better find a way to recycle more effectively. According to inventor Ray Kurzweill, tiny self-replicating microscopic robots will convert rubbish into new sources of energy. Another inventor, Clara Petrovic, said she was working on the prototype that would convert waste into bricks and other building material.Number three on our list is biological ID. Criminal investigator Alexis Smithson said that in the past, thieves had always taken objects. Now they steal your identity. ID theft is the fastest-growing type of crime. So how will we stop it? You can expect to have tiny microchips injected into your body; scanners will read your genetic information to check your ID. Or worse, you may need to provide skin cells whenever you go shopping. Imagine scratching yourself at the checkout every time you buy the groceries. Supermarkets will never be the same.Finally, medicine. In the past, a cold killed you.In 1374—1350, the Black Death killed half of Europe’s population. Now we are examining people’s genes for signs of future illness. Find t he disease early enough and you can prevent it. Glen Hiemastra of the recently claimed that somewhere on planet Earth there is a young child who will be the first person to live forever. If that happens we’ll need another invention: a new pens ions system.根据短文，在下面表格中填入恰当的内容完成摘记，每空不超过4个单词。
