AWhen you’re on the go, your best friend and resource can be your phone. In the age of smart phones, apps are like guiding stars: They can point you in the right direction for a hotel, lis t expenses, send postcards, and much more. When used tog ether, these apps can be the basic travel tool, placing a wealt h of information at your fingertips no matter where you are on the planet. U.S. News Travel has picked the essential travel a pps, known for their utility and reliability. Best of all, they cost absolutely nothing.Trip ItYour Personal Travel AgentBe your own travel agent and plan every detail of your trip—from car rental to accommodating restaurants—with Trip It. You can make travel schedule by hand, or simply forward the email confirmations of your flight, rental car, train t ickets, and hotels to plans.Weather FreeYour Go-To Meteorologist(气象学者)Stop trying to explain the weather forecast on the evening ne ws (particularly when it’s in a foreign language). The Weather Free app informs you (in English) of the climate in various loc ations. It features the local weather, and other key factors thatwill inform your decision about what to wear before stepping outside.GobyYour Event GuruWhen you're in a foreign city, you sometimes look around and ask: Where are all the people? Goby has the answer. This ap p pinpoints the neighborhood hot spots (including museums, hotels, eateries, and more) in your neighborhood. But its true value comes in finding nearby events. You'll discover concerts , plays, and more right around the corner.1. What is the advantage of using travel apps picked by the U. S. News Travel?A. They can solve any problem you come across.B. They reduce your travel budget.C. They exercise your fingertips.D. They are reliable and free of charge.2. With the help of the travel apps used together, travelers ca n do the following things EXCEPT .A. rent a carB. decide what to wearC. look for a friend while travelingD. find the nearby museums3. Where are the readers likely to read the passage above?A. In a geography textbookB. In a scienc e and technology magazineC. On a popular websiteD. In a business rep ortBTim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York – he in computers, she in special edu cation. “Teaching means everything to us,” Tim would say. In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It wa s the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about lif e’s purpose.Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Ima gination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton’s foundatio n (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to ag e five in the singer’s hometown of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thoug ht, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we r etire,” Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, “as a r eminder.”Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on thedesk, Tim clicked on . The program ha d been opened up to partners who could take advantage of b ook and postage discounts.The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see. “We didn’t want to give the children rubbish,” says Linda. The books – reviewed each year by teachers, literacy speciali sts and Dollywood board members – included classics such a s Ezra Jack Keats’s The Snowy Day and newer books like An na Dewdney’s Llama Llama series.Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mot her of four, is more than grateful: “This program introduces us to books I’ve never heard of.”The Richters spend about ＄400 a month sending books to 2 00 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die,” says Tim.“Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Libr ary?A. Give out brochures.B. Do something similar.C. Write books for childrenD. Retire from being a teacher.According to the text, Dollly Parton is .A. a well-known surgeonB. a mother of a four-year-oldC. a singer born in TennesseeD. a best-selling authorWhy did the Richters go to Dollywood?A. To avoid signing up online.B. To meet Dollywood board members.C. To make sure the books were the newest.D. To see if the books were of good quality.What can we learn from Tim’s words in the last paragraph?A. He needs more money to help the children.B. He wonders why some people are so busy.C. He tries to save those waiting to die.D. He considers his efforts worthwhile.CHave you ever found yourself in this situation: You hear a son g you used to sing when you were a child – a bit of nostalgia(怀旧) or “blast from the past,” as we say. But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago.Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the rela tionship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults and rand omly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of “listen-and-repeat” learning conditions. Researchers had one group simpl y speak the words. They had the second group speak the wor ds to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words.All three groups studied words from the Hungarian languag e for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language t ests to see what they remembered.Why Hungarian, you ask? Researchers said they chose Hu ngarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, s uch as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singer s came out on top. The people who learned these new Hunga rian words by singing them showed a higher overall performa nce. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learned t he words by speaking them.Dr. Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to lear n a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things whe n they are contained in a catchy 3, or memorable 4, tune 5. Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to l earn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburgh’s web site Dr. Ludke writes, “This study provides the first experiment al evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.”8. The “song” mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to .A. recall the pastB. attract the readersC. introduce the topicD. compare the childh ood with the present9. According to the passage which language doesn’t share the same root with Germanic or Romance languages?A. HungarianB. SpanishC. ItalianD. English10. Based on the last two paragraphs, we can conclude thatA. singing is the best way to learn a language.B. the brain probably works best when the foreign language le arners sing the words.C. a listen-repeat method is very effective for any language learner.D. Dr. Katie Overy and Dr. Ludke disagree with each other.11. In which situation can the finding of the research be applie d?A. A mother is going to teach her baby how to speak.B. A child is going to have his first music lesson.C. A student is going to learn a new English song.D. An American is going to learn some Chinese.DIn my generation, most people assume. We assume that after getting a driver’s license, we should see a brand new car sitti ng in our driveway. We assume that the latest iPhone product should be in our hands as soon as something goes wrong wit h our old one. We also assume that college, being as expensi ve as it is, is given. However, what we don’t realize is that all of these things are very special privileges.New cars, the latest technology and college fees are somethi ng that most people have in the place where I live. I’m not necessarily complaining about this. I live in a very fortunate area, and I try to remind myself of that every day.Getting nice things is great, but sometimes, the competition th at rules our lives gets too fierce. When someone else gets so mething great, you begin to think, “Why can’t I have that?” Wh en everyone around you goes to college, you think that one d ay you will obviously do the same, because who doesn’t? Even now, being almost done with my first year of college, I c onstantly see people who forget why we’re here, and how luc ky we are to be on this campus. All of the distractions can sur ely keep you from doing your best, and they can easily make you forget your real purpose at college. The parties, friends, e vents, and overall social life can move you into a never-ending whirlpool (旋涡）of not doing schoolwork. Having fun is a part of life, but balan ce is the key when it comes to college.Appreciation nowadays is slowly fading into a distant thought. We constantly forget how lucky we are to have the things and the life that we do. Surely, who doesn’t dream of a new car w aiting for them, or that brand new iPhone that you see in all of the commercials? But wanting something is different from ex pecting it. Setting yourself up with an “I should get this” attitud e will only push appreciation further away.Appreciate what you have, but don’t expect what you don’t ha ve. Say thank you to those who help and support you, and rea lize that whoever you are, you’re lucky in a great way.12. Which of the following may the author agree with?A. Assuming should be forbidden.B. People of his generation are lazy.C. What we have may be privileges.D. College education shouldn’t be expensive.13. What do we know about the author?A. He is too poor to afford a new car.B. He is sure that everyone can go to college.C. He is a fortunate second-year student.D. He is grateful for his college education.14. What does the author think of the social activities at colleg e?A. They should be balanced in students’ life.B. They are totally a waste of time and money.C. They make students confused about their life.D. They are useful for students after graduation.15. According to the fifth paragraph, people nowadays .A. don’t expect new cars or cell phonesB. don’t seem to appreciate what they haveC. always set up big goals in lifeD. often complain they are unlucky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。

After getting a bachelor’s degree of Philosophy at Fudan University in 1992, she settled in Hongkong in 1995. Two years later she joined Phoenix Television and became one of the first experienced TV journalists.

Lvqiu was the first Chinese female reporter to cover the Iraq war in 2003, which was even spoken highly of by President Hu Jintao.听力文本Conversation 1M: Hello. Matt Ellis speaking.W: Hello, Dr. Ellis, my name’s Pan Johnson. My roommate, Janet Holmes, wanted me to call you. M: Janet Holmes? Oh,that’s right. She’s in my Shakespearean English class. Has anyt hing happened to her?W: Nothing, it’s just that she submitted a job application yesterday and the company asked her in for an interview today. She’s afraid she won’t be able to attend your class this afternoon though. I’m calling to see whether it would be OK if I gave you her essay. Janet said it’s due today.M: Certainly, that would be fine. Uh, you can either drop it off at my class or bring it to my office. W: Would it be all right to come by your office around 4:00? I’m afraid I can’t come any earli er because I have three classes this afternoon.M: Uh, I won’t be here when you come. I’m supposed to be at a meeting from 3:00 to 6:00, but how about leaving it with my secretary? She usually stays until 5:00.W: Fine, please tell her I’ll be there at 4:00. And Dr. Ellis, one more thing, could you tell me where your office is? Janet told me where your class is, but she didn’t give me directions to your office.M: Well, I’m in Room 302 of the Gregory Building. I’ll tell my secretary to put the paper in m y mail box, and I’ll get it when I return.W: I sure appreciate it. Goodbye, Dr. Ellis.M: Goodbye, Ms. Johnson.Conversation 2W: Hi, Eric. How was your weekend?M: Great! I met Maria’s parents. And we told them we want to be engaged.W: Eric, that’s wonderful. Congratulations!M: Thanks, Alice. I really like her parents too. They're very nice. Mrs. Carmona speaks four languages, and Mr. Carmona is a diplomat. In fact, he gave a speech at the law school on Saturday morning.W: Oh, that was Maria’s father? I heard his speech.M: You did?W: Well, I heard part of it. I listened to it for ten minutes and then I fell asleep. I thought I was inclass. Anyway, tell me about your weekend.M: Saturday evening we saw a play. And Sunday afternoon, we watched a soccer game. Then Sunday night we all went out for dinner, Maria, her parents and me. That was the first chance we had to talk.W: Were you nervous?M: At first I was. We didn’t say much. Mr. Carmona told us some good stories about his experiences as a diplomat. And he asked me about my hobbies.W: And what did you say?M: Well, I didn’t tell him about my flying lessons. I told him about my chess playing and my classical music collection.W: Good idea. Her parents really approve of you, don’t they?M: I guess so. Maria called this morning and said: “My father told me he’d like you for a son-in-law right now.”W: That’s great.M: Not exactly. I want to get married after graduate school in about three years.Conversation 3M: You're going to wear out the computer’s keyboard.W: Oh. Hi.M: Do you have any idea what time it is? W: About 10:00 or 10:30?M: It’s nearly midnight. W: Really? I didn’t know it was so late.M: Don’t you have an early class to teach tomorrow morning?W: Yes, at 7:00. My commuter class—the students who go to work right after their lesson.M: Then you ought to go to bed. What are you writing anyway?W: An article I hope I can sell.M: Oh, another of your newspaper pieces. What’s this one about?W: Do you remember that trip I took last month? M: The one up to the Amazon?W: Well, that’s what I’m writing about. The new highway and the changes it’s making in the Amazon valley.M: It should be interesting.W: It is. I guess that’s why I forgot all about the time.M: How many articles have you sold now?W: About a dozen so far.M: What kind of newspapers buy them?W: The papers that carry a lot of foreign news. They usually appear in the big Sunday editions where they need a lot of background stories to help fill up the space between the ads.M: Is there any future in it?W: I hope so. There's a chance I may sell this article to a news service.M: Then your story would be published in several papers, wouldn't it?W: That’s the idea. And it might even be able to do other stories on a regular basis.M: That would be great.LectureAmong the kinds of social gestures most significant for second-language teachers are thosewhich are identical in form but different in meaning in the two cultures. For example, a Colombian who wants someone to approach him often signals with a hand movement in which all the fingers of one hand, cupped, point downward as they move rapidly back and forth. Speakers of English have a similar gesture though the hand may not be cupped and the fingers may be held more loosely, but for them the gesture means goodbye or go away, quite the opposite of the Colombian gesture. Again, in Colombia, a speaker of English would have to know that when he indicates height he must choose between different gestures depending on whether he is referring to a human being or an animal. If he keeps the palm of the hand parallel to the floor, as he would in his own culture when making known the height of a child, for example, he will very likely be greeted by laughter; in Colombia this gesture is reserved for the description of animals. In order to describe human beings he should keep the palm of his hand at a right angle to the floor. Substitutions of one gesture for the other often create not only humorous but also embarrassing moments. In both of the examples above, speakers from two different cultures have the same gesture, physically, but its meaning differs sharply.。

Even our mother was afraid of him. As children, my sister and I thought every f amily was like that—that every family had an unpredictable dad who was impossibl e to please and a praying mom who was there to protect the children. We were good children. Mom was always telling us w e were, even if daddy couldn’t see it.Then came the day we found something new and fun to do. We discovered we could draw pictures with chalk on our woo den front door. We could have lots of fun, so we set to work dr awing and making lots of pretty pictures all over it. We had a great time. We decided to finish our pictures, knowing Mom w ould just love them.The praise we expected did not come. We did not understand why, but we knew our parents were angry, and that we were i n big trouble！Off we ran to find a place to hide. In our wooded yard it was n ot hard for two small children to find safety. Together, we hid behind a tree and did not move. Soon we heard the frightened voices of Mom and our neighbors calling out to us. We were afraid we would be found. The sun set, and it began to get dar k, we heard another voice, one we recognized with great fear: our daddy. But there was something strangely different about it. In it we heard something we had never heard before: fear and despair. Our daddy with tears running down his face, pra yed to God for the safe return of his girls.[]Things were different after that. We had a new daddy; it was a s if the old one had been buried that day in the yard. Our whole family had been changed by one piece of chalk.4.

Do birthdays really make people happy? Of c ourse they do. Birthdays celebrate the day we were born. Bes ides, that extra candle on the cake suggests another year of g rowth and maturity—or so we hope. We all like to imagine that we’re getting wiser and not just older. Most of us enjoy seeing the miracle of grow th in others, as well. For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud. For Americans, lik e people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process. But growing old? That’s a different story.Growing old is not exactly pleasant for people in youth-oriented American culture. Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young. As the old saying goes, “You’re as young as you feel.” Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old. People in so me countries value the aged as a source of experience and wi sdom. But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least “young at heart”.Many older Americans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden. Economically, “senior citizens” often struggle just t o get by. Retirement at age 65 brings a sharp decrease in per sonal income. Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference. Older people may suffer from poor nutrition, m edical care and housing. Some even experience age discrimi nation (歧视). In 1987, American sociologist Pat Moore dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets. She was often tre ated rudely—even cheated and robbed. However, dressed as a young pers on, she received much more respect.Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing f ast. Why? People are living together. Fewer babies are being born. And middle-aged “baby boomers” are rapidly entering the groups of the el derly. America may soon be a place where wrinkles (皱纹) are “in”. Marketing experts are already noticing this group of consumers (消费者).8. The main ideaof the third paragraph is________.A. the golden years can make the old earn lots of moneyB. many old people in America are leading a hard lifeC. the old in America have to retire at the age of 65D. American social security benefits are not good9. From the last paragraph we know that the underlined word “in” can be replaced by________.A. seriousB. badC. disappearing slowlyD. growing fast10. From this passage we can know________.A. in America, growing up is not a wonderful processB. in America, growing up is as wonderful a process as gro wing oldC. in America, growing up is a wonderful process, while gro wing old is notD. in America, growing old is a wonderful process, while gro wing up is not11. What should be mentioned in the following paragraph?A. The public will change their attitudes towards old people.B. People will provide more services to the old in their com munities.C. Companies will soon produce more goods for old Americ ans.D. The government will pass laws to ensure the benefits of t he people.DNothing is more tiresome than being stuck in a boring class. E very second takes ages to tick by. A recent survey of America n kids revealed that 91 percent experience boredom. In fact, a dolescence is considered a peak period for the problem. One study showed that roughly one in three teenagers was bored at school.Peter Stromberg, professor at the University of Tulsa says, “O ur brains adapt really quickly to certain levels of stimulation(刺激). We get used to the media providing levels of highly emoti onal stimulation, and when we’re not getting them we feel bor ed. As our society develops various ways of keeping us entert ained, we may discover that rather than getting rid of boredo m, we’re increasing it.” Luckily, new research is implying a wa y that we can battle the trend.Professor John D. Eastwood of the University of York develop ed a new theory of boredom, which links it to the brain’s attent ion system—the part of the brain that we use to focus. Anything the attenti on system in your brain locks onto will be automatically sucke d up into your conscious awareness—it might be a bird outside the window, the pleasant smell of lunch, or even someone sleeping in the back of the class.The problem is that your attention system doesn’t like being to ld what to do. It wants to focus on stuff that you find fun and in teresting. For the parts of school that you enjoy, this isn’t a pr oblem. But for those classes that don’t interest you, or present too much or too little challenge, the story is very different. In t hose situations, you’re going to have to spend a lot of effort c onstantly redirecting your attention system to focus on things i t would rather ignore. And the effort is going to wear you out. Eastwood describes it as “wanting, but being unable, to be inv olved in a satisfying activity.”It’s like a block in the system. An d it’s the awareness of that block combined with a sense that t he environment is to blame that leads to feelings of boredom. When we’re bored we blame the world around us, but Eastwo od’s theory challenges this assumption: Boredom doesn’t exis t out there; it exists inside your brain. What that means is—hard as it may be to hear—boring lessons aren’t only the fault of your teacher or the subj ect, they’re your fault, too.12. According to Peter Stromberg, ________.A. teenagers are victims of boredomB. our brains demand much stimulationC. we’ve grown dependent on media for funD. the way we have fun makes us become bored13. According to Paragraph 4, the attention system ________.A. doesn’t like challengesB. enjoys interesting thingsC. does what you want it to doD. can make our efforts fruitle ss14. What might the author suggest about a boring class?A. Focusing more attention on it.B. Changing the way we look at it.C. Employing various teaching methods.D. Challenging the disturbing environment.15. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Escape Your BoredomB. Battle Your AttentionC. Fun or Boredom?D. Who Is to Blame?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AIn a nation with a one-child policy it’s understandablefor parents to worry over whether they are petting their children. Are the children as truly weak as expected?The concern has been broughtinto a hit reality TV series —Hunan TV’s Dad!Where Are We Going? and Zhejiang TV’s First Time In Life. In both children as young as three have become new public figures(人物). In the show First Time In Life，children chosen from ordinary families are given small tasks t o finish by themselves；the ongoing Dad show centers on five fathers and their childr en who are forced to live a sim ple life in poor villages far outs ide their comfortable city life. Though they have different fa mily backgrounds how they be have in the new environments has drawn the attention of the public.In Dad! Where Are We Going? the five-year-old daughter of former Olympi c diving champion Tian Liang cries and hides behind her fat her when they arrive at a rural village. In First Time In Life a y oung girl in Tianjin cries after being asked by her father to go out alone to buy eggs and a p ancake.In the eyes of some people th ese kids always depend on ot hers and the reason is that the ir parents give them too much love. But television viewers an d parents were encouraged w hen the crying Tianjin girl finall y returned holding the pancak e and Tian’s daughter finally b egan to take care of her young er friends and learned to ask f or help from people she didn’t know.The father of the Tianjin girl fel t “delightfully shocked” and sai d. “She used tobe well taken care of by her m other or grandmother. Now sh e has the courage to do it all b y herself. ”The shows have led many par ents to change how they raise their children. Shanghai mothe r Liang Jing said she would try to “give some training” to her shy son asking him to tidy up his toys. Lin Yi a parenting exp ert in Beijing said giving kids a chance to do things for thems elves helps to raise their sens e of success which carries ben efits all through their lives. ”21. What draws the people’s a ttention in the programs?A. How the children behave in the new environments.B. Where the children are from .C. What the kids’ family backg round is like .D. How old the children are.22. What is Tian Liang’s daug hter expected to do in the show?A. Go out to buy something al one.B. Live in a poor village with h er father.C. Make friends with strange p eople.D. Hide in a safe place out of danger.23. It can be known from the u nderlined words “delightfully s hocked” that ___.A. father is more important tha n mother in a familyB. children should be given a c hance to depend on themselv es.C. parents should give the chil d a safe environmentD. the children are as weak as parents expected24.The shows are bound to raise a wave of discussion that _______A. protecting good tradition B. the social societyC. approaches to parentingD. the influence of TV programmesBCassandra Feeley finds it hard to manage on her husband's i ncome.So this year she did something more than a hobby(业余爱好):She planted vegetables in her yard.For her first garden,Ms .Feeley has put in 15 tomato plants,and five rows of a variety of vegetables.The family's old farm house has become a chic ken house,its residents arriving next st year, Ms.Rita Gartin kept a small garden.This year she has made it much l arger because,she said,"The cost of everything is going up and I was looking to lose a few pounds,too；so it's a winwin situation all around."They are among the growing number of Americans who,dri ven by higher living costs and a falling economy(经济),have taken up vegetable gardening for the first time.Other s have increased the size of their existing gardens.Seed com panies and garden shops say that not since the 1970s has th ere been such an increase in interest in growing food at home .Now many gardens across the country have been sold out fo r several months.In Austin,Tex.,some of the gardens have a t hree year waiting list.George C．Ball Jr.,owner of a company,said sales of veget able seeds and plants are up by 40%over last year,double the average growth of the last five years.Mr.Ball argues that som e of the reasons have been building for the last few years.The big one is the striking rise in the cost of food like bread and m ilk, together with the increases in the price of fruits and vegeta bles.Food prices have increased because of higher oil prices. People are now driving less,taking fewervacations,so there is more time to garden.25．What does the word "residents" in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?A．chickens B．tomatoes C．gardens D．people26. By saying "a winwin situation all around",Ms.Gartin means that________.A．she is happier and her garden biggerB．she may spend less and lose weightC．she is selling more and buying lessD．she has grown more varieties of vegetables27.Why is vegetable gardening becoming increasingly popula r?A．More Americans are doing it for fun.B．The price of oil is lower than before.C．There's a growing need for fruits.D．The cost of living is on the rise.CWhile astronauts in space get to do many exciting things, they miss out on ordinary things that we all take for granted—being able to walk on firm ground, hanging out with family and digging into a slice of hot steaming pizza. Though not much c an be done about the first two things, there may soon be a sol ution to the third one, thanks to this cool 3-D pizza printer! About a year ago, NASA offered $125 ,000 to Anjan Contract or, a 3-D technology expert, to build a device (设备) that would allow astronauts to make pizza on demand. The mechanical engineer promised that his invention would prod uce pies in large quantities that looked, tasted and even smell ed like pizza made in common ovens.Late last year, the engineer presented a video of his first proto type (原型) that begins by creating a single slice of dough (面团) that is cooked and printed at the same time. Then comes t he tomato “sauce”— a mix of tomato powder, oil and water a nd finally, a protein slice that resembles cheese. While the vid eo doesn’t show the baking process, the inventor says that on ce the pizza is printed, it can be ready to be consumed in 7 se conds.While the pie in the video looks delicious enough to attract an y pizza lover, Anjan Contractor is far from ready for astronaut s. That’s because he still has to find a solution to make the fo od container in the printer last for 30 years. Though that may sound unrealistic, actually it is not.Anjan Contractor believes that the only way that is possible is that the water is removed from all the ingredients (配料) and then they are reduced to the powder form. This, as yo u can imagine, will not be so easy. But, while the printer may not be ready for space, it certainly looks ready enough for peo ple on earth. Hopefully, NASA and Contractor will consider sel ling it to those not fortunate enough to go to Mars!28. Why does the author mention the things that astronauts in space cannot do?A. To ask us not to take common things for granted.B. To show they live a difficult life there.C. To show their life is boring in space.D. To introduce the topic of the text.29.NASA offered $ 125, 000 to Anjan Contractor mainly to ___ ____.A. create some new type of 3-D printerB. attract more companies to work for NASAC. help astronauts in space enjoy fresh pizza one dayD. produce pizza in large quantities to earn great profits30.The biggest challenge that Anjan Contractor is faced with now is probably that _______.A. he has no money left to go on with his researchB. the pizza doesn’t seem appetizing to pizza loversC. he has no way to make pizza that can last for thirty yearsD. he cannot make the food container last for decades31. What’s the best title of the passage?A. NASA is trying its best to help astronauts eat betterB. Astronauts may soon be able to enjoy steaming hot pizzaC. NASA is working on making pizza for common peopleD. A 3-D pizza printer has been used to make pizzaDYou know how wonderful you are, and you know that others k now how wonderful you are, but what do you do when admirat ion crosses over the line into jealousy (嫉妒)? For most teens there will come a day when you realize th at one of your friends is jealous and that this jealousy is hurtin g your friendship. When this happens it can seem like there is nothing that you can do, but the good news is that there is. D on't let jealousy spoil your friendship. Deal with it confidently a nd you might be back to normal much sooner than you think. It can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the pr oblem is, but if you want to save your friendship you'll have to do just that. Don't approach them and ask why they are jealou s of you unless of course you want to appear totally conceited (逞能的), just take some time alone with them and let them know th at you've been feeling like there's been something coming bet ween you. If they refuse to respond, then use the opportunitie s to explain how you have been feeling. Chances are that so mething you say will strike a nerve and your friend will open u p as well.When you figure out what is annoying your friend, ask him or her what (s)he thinks would make the situation better. If, for e xample, (s)he says that (s)he feels like (s)he doesn't get to sp end any time with you because of your being off with your ne w friends from the swim team then maybe you could invite hi m or her along the next time or block off one day a week for ju st the two of you. Remember, though, that whatever solution y ou decide on should be a compromise. Don't limit your own tal ents or opportunities simply because your friend is unhappy. Try instead to include him or her in your new life and see how that works out.Even the best of friendships can be ruined by jealousy. This d estructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best frien ds into worst enemies. Before taking extreme action, chat with your jealous friend to see if the two of you can work out a co mpromise. If you can't, be prepared to know exactly how far y ou will go to keep your friend and how far you won't.32.According to the author, the jealousy emotion is ________.A.normalB.productiveC.destructiveD.ext reme33.What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 2?A.How to solve the problem of jealousy.B.Why we need to solve the problem of jealousy.C.How to explain your jealousy to your friends.D.Why it is hard to deal with the problem of jealousy.34.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A.There's always a solution to solve the problem of jealousy.B.Jealousy can turn best friends into worst enemies.C.You may lose a friend to keep your own gifts, chances or se lf development.D.You should go a long way with your friend to work out a sol ution.35.This passage is mainly intended for ________.A.female readersB.studentsC.teenagersD.b est friends阅读第二节（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。

As the meal drew to a close she asked how long I would be in Orlando. I had already told her that I hadn’t hired(租用)a car, and hadn’t realized how costly taking taxis would be. After a while she said, “My dear, don’t use any more taxis. It would be my pleasure to drive you wherever you wish. ”I told her that I couldn’t put he r to that trouble, but she insisted. She took details of where I was staying and the next morning she drove me to Disney World. She took me through the park’s gates and spent some time with me before leaving meto explore alone.

Soon our cell phones will be able to do things that we thought impossible or not even thought of at all.When picturing the future, there are quite a few things that we would love our cell phones to be able to do. Let’s take a look at the ones that are likely to be in the next generation of cell phones.

In the last 30 years we have gone from hardly knowing what a cell phone was to surfing the Internet with excellent cell phones.It is hard to believe that technology is advancing as quickly as it is, with no end in sight.
