AWhat Is Self-tracking All aboutHave you ever monitored something about yourself? Perhaps you’ve tracked how many kilometers you’ve run, how many hours you’ve slept or how many calories you’ve eaten in a day.If so, you’ve taken part in a movement called the “Quantified Self Movement.” Individuals gather information about their daily activities in this popular movement, also called self-tracking. This may sound difficult, but technology is making the process easier.Perhaps you’ve wanted to change a bad habit but couldn’t. Self-tracking may be your answer. The idea is to take information about your everyday activities and analyze them to help form a healthier lifestyle.Recently, tools such as smart phones, journals and apps, along with newly published wearable things, are making self-tracking extremely easy. Today, one can use Fit bit, the Jawbone Up, Google Glass or a smart watch to record personal data including sleeping hours, stress levels, heart rate and mood.So why does a person self-track? Someone may be trying to lose weight or improve their sleep patterns. Another person feels tired after eating. Self-tracking could help him to know what foods make him sleepy and watch his diet.Monitoring daily activities isn’t a new concept. In years past, athletes and their coaches kept notes detailing nutrition, training and sleep patterns in order to achieve an athletic goal. Similarly, doctors have also helped patients to record parts of their lifestyles and eating habits to help fight allergies, headaches and other health problems. However, it wasn’t until 2007 that magazine editors Gary Wolf and Kim Kelly, who started tracking every move they made, coined the term “Quantified Self.” Wolf says that the new tools will change our sense of self with the purpose of making us more effective in the world.Although self-tracking has many advantages, Dennis Nash, president of Data Speaks Health Solutions, says self-tracking has its drawbacks. Once people start tracking their daily activities, it can become an addition people like to do often. Also, they might begin to worry too much about their health.While self-tracking doesn’t guarantee that one’s qua lity of life will improve, it can highlight the importance of eating well and exercising daily. After all, the Quantified Self Movement’s focus is motivating people to apply enough energy to make healthier choices.1. People choose self-tracking because _______.A. it collects personal data and leads to self-improvementsB. it records how many hours you sleep a dayC. it watches your eating habitsD. it increases your movement2. The writer mentions tools such as smart phones and apps in Paragraph 4 to show _______.A. we depend too much on themB. it is easier to do self-trackingC. they do harm to people’s healthD. equipment is necessary to do self-tracking3. Self-tracking was firstly put forward by _______.A. scientists of Data Speaks Health SolutionsB. athletes and their coachesC. doctors and their patientsD. two magazine editors4.

Once a major American colonial city, it is the home of America’s first library, its first hospital, and its first zoo. Now it is also the first US city to be named a World Heritage City. On November 6,2015, Philadelphia joined more than 260 other cities that have been recognized for their influence on the world. These cities include Paris, France, Florence, Italy, and Cairo, Egypt.“Today marks the start of a new and exciting chapter in the history f Philadelphia,” remarked Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter when the announcement was made. “As a World Heritage City, Philadelphia is being officially recognized on the global stage for its wealth of contributions to the world.To be named w World Heritage City, a city must be home to UNESCO World Heritage site. UNESCO World Heritage sites are selected for their universal value and significance. For Philadelphia, the site is Independence Hall.Independence Hall is where two of the most important documents in US history---the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution—were adopted. The Declaration ofIndependence, approved on July 4,1776, united the 13 former British colonies and declared them independent from British rule. The US Constitution, signed in 1787, established the American democratic system of government. A democracy is a system of government in which the people elect their leaders. The Constitution later spelled out the basic freedoms American citizens have.Philadelphia Deputy Mayor Alan Greenberger says the city’s selection as a World Heritage City also reflects its educational, cultural, and economic achievements. The city is home to dozens of colleges and universities, and many museums, such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art. “Philadelphia has rightfully earned its place as one of the greatest cities in the world.”Greenberger says.9. We can learn from Paragraph 1 that Philadelphia _______.A. is known for many American’s firstsB. has been famous as a World Heritage CityC. has the best American hospitalD. has contributed a lot to the global economy10. What opinion does Alan Greenberger hold?A. It’s easy for the city to win the honorB. The honor will bring the city a better futureC. It won’t be long before the city takes offD. The city really deserves the honor11. What could be the best title for the next?A. Philadelphia Makes a DifferenceB. Philadelphia Develops a LotC. Philadelphia Makes HistoryD. Philadelphia Wins Global RespectDRecognized as the largest desert in the world, the Sahara Desert runs across North Africa, covering over 3 million square miles from the Atlantic Coast to the Nile River Valley. Except for an occasional oasis, this vast land is mainly made up of sand, stones, and worn out mountains. The burning sun causes daytime temperatures to rise to nearly 70 degrees in the shade, and days without rain commonly last for years.Paintings found on the walls of caves in the Sahara Desert suggest that a few thousand years ago, large quantities of plants grew there and covered the desert floor. Many curious and unusual insects, birds and animals got enough food that allowed them to grow and reproduce. At that time,huge river systems and many oases supported growing communities where a large number of people lived.Research scientists believe that the land became a desert for several reasons. For centuries people there have wandered from place to place in search of food, water, and grazing (吃草) land for their animals. These people have always considered the number of animals they have as a sign of wealth. It is considered more important to have 100 sick and starving animals than 15 healthy ones. The large herds (群) have been allowed to go freely and graze on desert plants and grass. Over time, large sections of land have been left uncovered. In addition to allowing overgrazing, these people cut down whatever trees they could find and used them for firewood. The sand was unable to hold on to the great heat of the day, so nighttime temperatures often drop below freezing and nothing was left to hold the soil together.Scientists have been studying different ways to bring back the green desert. Through research and experiments, they hope to be able to produce plants that will once again support the life there. Huge holes filled with much water lie under the desert surface. Scientists believe this rainwater simply flew down through the sand over hundreds of years and collected in the big, rocky holding tanks. By making use of the sun’s power, scientists in the Sahara have made experiments in which they got huge amount of electricity. This electricity was then used to operate drilling machines and pumps to pull the rainwater from the underground tanks. By drilling the hole one mile deep into the floor of the desert, one machine was able to recover more than 80 gallons of ice-cold water each second, or 288,000 gallons per hour.Scientists have had some success turning this wasteland into useful farmland. Today the desert is dotted with huge wheat fields watered by a system of pipes that carry water from the underground tanks. Farmers have also learnt that plants grow better if seeds are planted next to stones. Studies show that stones provide protection from the sun, allowing seeds to grow in a shady and cool environment. In addition to that, greenhouses have been built to protect plants from the sunshine so that less water is needed. Another idea is to grow plants that can live on a diet of salt water, since the ocean is so near to the desert.12. What will probably happen if the local people continue their customs and traditions?A. The desert will continue to be enlarged.B. Tourists will begin traveling to North Africa.C. More oases will begin to appear across the desert.D. The number of healthy animals will become larger.13. Which of the following statements is a fact presented in the passage?A. The desert is rich in beautiful color and scenery.B. Camels can go for days without drinking any water.C. The Sahara will one day become a beautiful garden.D. Large river systems once supported many communities.14. The author of the passage provides evidence that scientists are _____.A. pleased by the progress but do not have the money to continueB. discouraged by the poor results of their experimentsC. hopeful about the chances of life coming back to the desertD. troubled by the lack of water found underground15. Which of the following is the best summary of this passage?A. Drilling machines help to water the desert floor and make plants and animals alive.B. Scientists have been able to turn this large wasteland into a successful farming community.C. So much soil has become sand that the desert will never be able to support life as it once did.D. The desert no longer supports plenty of life, but researchers hope to change it with new scientific techniques.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。

The one who can use English to communicateBPeople who have lost the ability to understan d or use words due to brain damage are called aphasics（失语症患者）.Such patients can be extremely good at something else.From the changing expressions on speakers' faces and the tones of their voices,they can tell lies from truths.Doctors studying the human brain have given a number of examples of this amazing power of aphasics.Some have even compared this power to that of a dog with an ability to find out the drugs hidden in the baggage.Recently,scientists carried out tests to see if all that was said about aphasics was true.They studied a mixed group of people.Some were normal;others were aphasics.It was proved that the aphasics wer e far ahead of the normal people in recognizing false speeches —in most cases,the normal people were fooled by words,but the aphasics were not.Some years ago,Dr.Oliver Sacks wrote in his book about his experiences with aphasics.He mentioned a particular case in a hospital.Some aphasics were watching the president giving a speech on TV.Since the president had been an actor earlier,making a good speech was no problem for him.He was trying to put his feelings into every word of his speech.But his way of speaking had the opposite effect on the patients.They didn't seem to believe him.Instead,they burst into laughter.The aphasics knew that the president did not mean a word of what he was saying.He was lying!Many doctors see aphasics as people who are not completely normal because they lack the ability to understand words.However,according to Dr.Sacks,they are more gifted than normal people.Normal people may get carried away by words.Aphasics seem to understand human expressions better,though they cannot understand words.4.What is so surprising about aphasics?A.They can fool other people.B.They can tell whether people are lying.C.They can understand language better.D.They can find out the hidden drugs.5.How did the scientists study aphasics?A.By asking them to watch TV together.B.By organizing them into acting groups.C.By comparing them with normal people.D.By giving them chances to speak on TV.6.What do we learn from this text?A.What ones says reflects how one feels.B. Aphasics have richer feelings than others.C.Normal people often tell lies in their speeches.D. People poor at one thing can be good at another.CSix years ago at the age of 35,I suddenly decided I wanted to learn the cello（大提琴）.Straight away I rented an instrument and appeared before Wendell Margrave,professor of musical instruction."You can be as good as you want to be,"Margrave said rather mysteriously.On a piece of paper he drew the notes E and F.He showed me where to put my fingers on the neck of the cello and how to draw the bow.Then he entered my name in his book: 10 am,Tuesday.Tuesday followed Tuesday,and soon it was spring.Thus began my voyage out of ignorance and into the dream.E-F,E-F,we played together —and moved on to G.It was a ha ppy time.I was again becoming something new,and no longer trapped as the same person.Surely the most terrible recognition of middle life is that we are past changing.We do what we can already do.The cello was something I couldn't do.Yeteach Tuesday this became less and less true.Riding home on the bus one snowy night and learning the score of Mozart's C-Major Quintet(莫扎特的C大调五重奏),I felt the page burst into music in my hands.I could by then more or less read a score,and was humming（哼唱）the cello line,when suddenly all five parts came together harmonically（和谐地） in my head.The fellow sitting opposite stared.I met his glance with tears,actually hearing the music in my head for the first time.Could he hear it too, perhaps?No,he got off at the next stop. As the years slipped by,my daughter grew up,playing the piano well.My goal was that she and I would one day perform together.I also wanted to perform in public with and for my peers,and to be secretly envied.I continued to play,to perform,but it is not the same.Before,when I heard a cello,it was all beauty and light.Now,as the TV camera gets close to Rostropovich's face,I recognize that his smile shows his incredible determination.Even for him,the cello is a difficult instrument that doesn't respect your ambitions.I picked up my cello and practiced.As good as I wanted to be,I am as good as I'm going to get.It is good enough.7.From the first two paragraphs,we can learn that_______ . .A.the author already knew some cello basicsB.the author went to a cello lesson every TuesdayC.the author bought a cello after he decided to learn itD.Wendell Margrave was a famous but mysterious professor8.The author writes that "it was a happy time" in Paragraph 3 mainly because .A.he felt very bored with his new lifeB.it was beautiful to be able to hear the music in his mindC.Professor Margrave made learning the cello very easy for himD.he enjoyed the feelings of growth and getting closer to his dream9.From the last paragraph,it can be inferred that the author .A.put on shows with his daughterB.was determined to catch up with RostropovichC.is happy to have kept up his personal developmentD.was confident that his peers would envy him for his cello playing ability10.The purpose of the article is mainly to .A.show his deep gratitude to his cello tutorB.advise readers on how to improve their cello skillsC.describe his incredible efforts to overcome difficultiesD.encourage readers that it's never too late to pursue their dreams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。

AThe Five Best Countries TO Move To For Retirement Retiring in a different country is gaming popularity. Below are five of the best countries to seek retirement.Costa RicaMild climate, breathtaking landscapes and beaches draw retirees(退休人员)to Costa Rica. The country readily welcomes immigrants and offers a simple residency process. With a monthly income of at least $ 1,000 per month from Social Security or a similar source, people enjoy a high standard of living at a much lower cost than the U. S. MalaysiaRetirees who choose to make Malaysia home will appreciate its rich culture and attractive scenery. Moreover, the country offers modern facilities at modest prices. Immigrants enjoy convenience and comfort in their daily life.

Increasing immigrant communities enjoy seaside living andconversations with friendly. English speaking locals. Plus, legal residents over the age of 60 receive airline, grocery, and restaurant discounts.PanamaGentle ocean wind takes the heat out of hot year-round temperatures, which has been the chief attraction to foreign retirees. Beautiful beaches and a booming economy also attract retirees to Panama. An income of $2,000 per month covers modest living costs. Furthermore, the country offers discounts to retirees with a special visa. EcuadorLazy coastal towns, sun-shining hot spots, and nature-filled views wait for immigrants seeking a carefree lifestyle. Public transportation costs in Ecuador make owning a vehicle unnecessary. A bus ride only costs 25 cents and taxi rides will run about $3.1. What do Costa Rica and Malaysia have in common?A. Convenient shoppingB. Relatively low living costC. Various cultural activitiesD. Simple immigration procedures2. Which country’s location specially attracts retirees from the U. S.?A. Malaysia’s B .Mexico’s c. Panama’s D. Ecuador’s3. What is the main reason for retirees to choose Panama?A. Beautiful beachesB. A booming economyC .A pleasant climate D. Discounts for retireesBSummertime has always been my absolute favorite time of the year. When I was in school, I just lived for the long summer holidays when I could play with my friend and my sister all day at our ease. Everyone has different associations of, summer. For some, they think of the smell of freshly cut grass, for others it's lying on a beach reading a book and for some it might be the taste of lemonade or ice cream.I am so happy to be spending this summer with my family and childhood friends here in the Highlands of Scotland after a year away in France.One of my favorite things to do in summer is go to see the Highland. These events happen all across the Highlands and Islands of Scotland over the summer and are a great chance for friends and family to get together and support the local community.A Highland Games event is a big gathering with food stalls(小摊), fair games for children and sports and athleties competitions. Many of the sports are very specific to Scottish tradition such as “tossing caber". This is a competition in which the competitors attempt to lift a full-length tree log and to toss it up in the air. The oldest Highland Games of Scotland date back, to AD 1344 and they are now an iconic part of the Scottish summer.Summer just would not be complete for me without my favorite fruit-strawberries Here in the Highlands, strawberries are grown as one of our best-sellers over the summer months and one thing I love to do on a warm summer afternoon is to pick some strawberries to eat, with cream at the end of the day. If you come here, I think you will fall in love with them..4. Why did the author treasured summertime as a child?A It was along hot holiday for him. B. He could see his brother every dayC. He was able to feel quite relaxed.D. It was the best time to live a life5. What can we learn according to the first paragraph?A. The author was born and raised in France.B. The author spent one year out of his countryC. The author moved to Scotland with his familyD. The author devoted much time to reading books.6. What will you see at a Highland Games event?A. People giving a hand to those in needB. Kinds of delicious food and happy childrenC. A cultural display of Scottish traditionD. Some extreme sports competitions.7. Why does the author refer to strawberries?A. To show he only takes interest in this fruit.B. To prove Highlands is best for summerC. To attract readers to buy strawberriesD. To suggest strawberries are the best for you. .CStudents should be able to show what they know. Many folks take this as a self-evident truth. But I think it demands closer examination.Possessing a skill or piece of knowledge is not the same thing as being able to show it. This is why many smart young people hate school. Understanding, figuring out, and getting a handle on a piece of knowledge are really exciting, but having to prove to somebody else that you understand is a big fat pain in the neck.Finding proof of student learning is a huge part of the teacher's job, and whether it is done poorly or not makes all the difference in that teacher's effectiveness. There is a huge difference between "How do I figure out if this student understands" and "How do I make this student prove to me he gets it." The first is a valuable approach; the second is the first step on the road toward wasting everybody's time.And the re’s the problem. If we start with the assumption that a student who knows must be able to show his knowledge to our satisfaction, we will be traveling down the wrong road. The more we demand that students prove to us that they know the stuff, the more we will design artificial tasks that demand a set of skills and knowledge entirely different from the skills and knowledge we really want to measure.As a classroom teacher, I have to remember that the burden is on me to find a way to see what my students know; the burden is not on them to put on whatever trained monkey show I design for my own ease and convenience.It may not be the worst thing ever to say "Students should be able to show what they know." But I think it's far more useful to say, "Teachers should be able to discover what students know”.8.What does the underlined phrase in the second paragraph mean?A. Very dangerous.B. Very annoying. C Very difficult. D Vary frequent.9. According to the third paragraph, a teacher should have the ability to_______________A. discover whether his students knowB. avoid wasting the precious time in classC. apply various approaches while teachingD. give students the chance to prove themselves10. What does the author think of the artificial tasks designed to test students' learning?A. They should be limited in number.B. They are a huge burden on teachersC. They should mainly focus on effectiveness.D. They slide away from their original purpose11. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Students should be able to show what they know.B. There are many ways to find proof of student leaning.C. Teachers should be able to discover what students knowD. There should be better understanding between teachers and studentDA new keyboard can tell whether you are its owner. The keyboard records information about the typing pattern and sends it to a computer program. The program then checks to see if the pattern matches the night user. If not, an alarm sounds, and the computer locks the typist out. It locks out anyone else, even if the person knows password. Wh at’s more, this device needs no batteries. It harvests all the energy it needs from the action of your typing. Besides, the keyboard is also self-cleaning and the keys are free of damage from water, oil and dirt.The keys of the new keyboard are made of the same inexpensive plastic that might be found on any other standard keyboard. But instead of being smooth, the keys have millions of tiny plastic nanowires(纳米线) on their surface area to every key, increasing the effective contact area between the plastics and fingers. This ensures that there's enough power to run the keyboard as someone types.Liming Dai, a scientist, did not work on the new keyboard, but he thinks the design could be important in getting better performance from a variety of devices. "It couldalso be applied to a touch screen, for instance, "Dai says. "Then smart phones and notepads could harvest energy from the action of someone typing or drawing.”"Future work might make the keyboard even more useful, "Dai adds. "A later design might build tiny capacitors (电容器)onto the nanowires, " he suggests Capacitors are little deices that temporarily store electric charges. Those might then LEDS to light a Keyboard in the dark.Zhonglin Wang is a co-designer of the new keyboard. His team has built a working model of the keyboard. "If a company decides to fund(投资) its production, this keyboard could be in stores in as little as two years, "says Wang.12. How does the new keyboard tell whether you are its owner?A. By matching the typing pattern to the right userB. By sending alarms to a computer programC. By checking the right user’s passwords.D. By recording information about the typing pattern13. Why are there many nanowires on the surface of the keys?A. To increase the effective contact areaB. To improve the speed of typingC. To make the keys smooth.D To help produce power14. what's Dai's attitude to the new keyboard?A Unconcerned.B Doubtful.C Positive.D Critical15. What is the best title for the text?A. A New Keyboard Made of NanowiresB. A New Keyboard Entirely Owned by youC. A New keyboard's FutureD Anew Keyboard Powered by Typing第二节(共5个小题；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。

Atickets online at Additional information: Please Click Here1. This advertisement is mainly about_______.A. some unmissable films this winterB. a way of booking film ticketsC. the company of CineworldD. a certain Clubcard2. Which of the following is true?A. This advertisement is probably taken from a magazine.B. For every adult tickTet you will have to pay £4.50 in cash.C. You will receive two emails after you place your order using the basket.D. Cineworld encourages viewers to be involved in its management for experience.BThe government of Norway is planning to build an unusual storage center on an island in the Arctic Ocean. The place would be large enough to hold about two million seeds. The goal is to present all crops known to scientists. The British magazine New Scientist published details of the plan last month. The structure will be designed to protect the world’s food supply against nuclear war, climate change and other possible threats. It will be built in a mountain on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen. The mountain is less than one thousand kilometers from the North Pole, the northernmost position on earth.An international group called the Global Crop Diversity Trust is working on the project. The director of the group, Cary Fowler, spoke to New Scientist. He said the project would let the world rebuild agriculture if, in his word, ‚the worst came to the worst‛. Norway is expected to start work next year. The project is expected to cost three million dollars. Workers will drill deep in the side of a sandstone mountain. Temperatures in the area never rise above 0ºC. The seedswill be protected behind walls a meter thick and high-security door.The magazine report says the collection will represent the products of ten thousand years of farming. Most of the seeds at first will come from collections at seed banks in Africa, Asia and Latin America. To last a long time, seeds need to be kept in very low temperatures. Workers will not be present all the time. But they plan to replace the air inside the storage space each winter. Winter temperatures on the island are about eighteen degrees below 0ºC. The cold weather would protect the seeds even if the air could not be replaced.Mr. Fowler says the proposed structure will be the world’s most reliable gene bank. He says the plant seeds would only be used when all other seeds are gone for some reason. Norway first proposed the idea in the 1980s. But security concerns delayed the plan. At that time, the Soviet Union was meeting in Rome of the Food and Agriculture Organization.3.The project is meant to ______.A．increase the world’s food output in the futureB．carry out some scientific experiments on plant genesC．protect crop seeds from dying out in case of possible disastersD．build an ex hibition centre of the world’s plant seeds4.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the above passage?A．The government of Norway will perform the project alone.B．Seeds to be collected there were produced ten thousands years ago.C．Spitsbergen is chosen because it is free of the threat unclear war forever.D．Temperature is a major consideration when choosing the storage place.5.We can infer from the text that _______.A．People will get newly-developed seeds from the center every year.B．The storage center will greatly promote world agricultureC．Norway had meant to build the storage centre about30 years before.D．There haven’t been any seed storage centers in the world before.6.What is probably the best title of the passage? A．The Best Place to Store Seeds B．Noah’s Ark（诺亚方舟）of PlantSeeds in Plan C．Concerns of World Food Supply D．A New Way to Feed the WorldCHe has his own stereo. He has a great many toys. He even has cable TV as well. From what Patrick Lavery said . Tommy has it pretty good. "We've devoted our lives to taking care of these chimps which have no place to go, " says Lavery.Right now. Tommy lives with the Laverys' . But if some animalrights activists get their way. he will soon be living in a chimp shelter. And he will be considered a person.'Tommy has the right as well as self-determination that is enough for him to be a legal person ." said Steven Wise. a lawyer for a group called the NonhumanRights Project. He also said that Tommy should be removed from the Laverys' home. He argued that Tommy's rights were being violated(冒犯) because he lived in a cage all on his own. And he asked the court to make Tommy a personin order to free the chimp from his current living condition. The court is now deciding whether they are going to declare Tommy a person.At the hearing, some of the justices were skeptical-especially when Wise compared Tommy's situation to slavery. His argument was that slaves were once considered property instead of persons. just as Tommy is now. "I have to tell you, I keep having a difficult time with your using slavery as an analogy (比喻) for this situation." said Presiding Justice Karen Peters. "You might want to pursue another argument. " But Lavery said that he considers the concept of making Tommy a person absurd. Tommy works in the entertainment industry before retiring, so he is not used to being around other chimps. " We would place himin the shelter if we had the opportunity to." Lavery said. " But he has his special needs. He can't go just anywhere as other people say. More importantly. he hasnever been associated with other chimps. And he could get hurt if he went in the wrong atmosphere. "Wise disagrees. "Tommy does not want to be imprisoned for his life in a cage. He's an extraordinarily complex being. He can understand the past. He can look forward to the future. And he suffers in solitary confinement(单独监禁) as much as a human being. "7. The argument between Lavery and Wise isA. whether Tommy should he considered a person with rightsB. whether Tommy should be removed from the Lavervs' homeC. whether people should protect Tommy against being misusedD. whether people should take good care of those chimps in cages8. It is implied in the fourth paragraph that____A. Wise was not good at organizing his speechB. some justices were not interested in animals' rightsC. Tommy lived in such a had situation as slaves oncedidD. Wise's argument was too unreasonable to convince others9. Lavery hasn't placed Tommy in an animal shelter mainly becauseA. Tommy is in great need of special careB. Lavery hasn't found a proper shelter so farC. Lavery has been living in harmony with TommyD. Tommy may not get used to living with other chimps10. The purpose of Wise's words in the last paragraph is to____A. fight against Lavery's behaviorB. conclude his attitude towards TommyC. win more support for Tommy.D. praise Tommy for his wisdomDIs gun play good or bad for children? For many years I emphasized its harmlessness. When concerned parents expressed doubt about letting their children have toy guns, because they didn’t want to encourage them in the slightest degree to become criminals, I would explain how little connection there was. In the course of growingup, children have a natural tendency to bring their aggressiveness more and more under control if their parents encourage this. One- to two-year-olds, when they are angry with an other child, may bite the child’s arm without hesitation. But by 3 or 4 they have already learned that aggression is not right. However, they may pretend to shoot their mother or father, but smiling to assure them that the gun and the aggressive behaviour aren’t to be taken seriously.In the 6- to 12-year-old period, children will play an earnest game of war, but it has lots of rules. There may be arguments, but real fights are relatively rare. At this age children don’t shoot at their mother or father, eve n in fun. It’s not that the parents have turned stricter; the children’s own conscience has. In adolescence aggressive feelings become much stronger, but well brought-up children can turn them into athletics and other competition or into kidding their friends.In other words, I’d explain that playing at war is a natural step in the disciplining of the aggression of young children; that a cautious parent doesn’t reallyneed to worry about producing a criminal.But nowadays I’d give parents much more encouragement to guide their child away from violence.A number of incidents have convinced me of the importance of this.One of the first things that made me change my mind, several years ago, was an observation that an experienced nursery school teacher told me about. Her children were hitting each other much more than previously, without reason. When she talked to them, they would protest, ‚But that’s what the Three Stooges do.‛ (This was a children’s TV program full of violence which immediately became very popular.)What further shocked me into reconsidering my view was the assassination(暗杀）of the former President, and the fact that some school children cheered about this. (I didn’t so much blame the children as I blamed the kind of parents who will say about a President they dislike, ‚I’d shoot him if I got the chance!‛）These incidents made me think of other evidences that Americans often tolerate lawlessness and violence. We were hard on the Indians and the later waves ofimmigrants. At times we denied justice to groups with different religions or political views. And now a great percentage of our adult as well as our child population has been endlessly fascinated with dramas of Western violence and with cruel crime stories, in movies and on television. This d oesn’t necessarily mean that we Americans on the average have more aggressiveness inside us than the people of other nations. I think rather that the aggressiveness we have is less controlled, from childhood on.To me it seems very clear that in order to have a more stable and civilized national life we must bring up the next generation of Americans with a greater respect for law and for other people’s rights than in the past. There are many ways in which we could and should teach these attitudes. One simple opportunity we could seize in the first half of childhood is to show our disapproval of lawlessness and violence in television programs and in children’s gun play.I also believe that the survival of the world now depends on a much greater awareness of the need to avoid war and to actively seek peaceful agreements. There areenough nuclear arms to completely destroy all civilization. This terrifying situation demands a much greater stability and self-control on the part of national leaders and citizens than they have ever shown in the past. We owe it to our children to prepare them deliberately for this awesome responsibility.11. The underlined word ‚this‛ in Paragraph 1 refers to______.A. controlling their aggressivenessB. playing with toy gunsC. aggressive behaviourD. the course of growing up12. Based on the author’s view about the relationship between children’s aggressiveness and their age, which of the following is true?A. A 2-year old boy knows that it is not correct to behave aggressively.B. The older children become, the less aggressive they will be.C. 6- to 12-year-olds enjoy war games but develop them into argument and serious fights.D. Adolescents’ aggressiveness is often displayedin the form of competition.13. What conclusion does the author intend to draw from the story told by the nursery school teacher?A. Watching violence can lower a child’s standard of behaviour.B. Violent TV programs should be banned in nursery schools.C. Children are generally lawless or violent nowadays.D. It is acceptable to let children have toy guns.14. What does Paragraph 7 mainly talk about?A. Examples showing that Americans are more aggressive than other nations.B. Evidences proving that America has a long history of lawlessness and violence.C. The idea that children are less able to put their aggressiveness under control.D. More reasons why the author changed his view on the main issue of the article.15. What is a must if people intend to enjoy stability and civilized national life?A. To show disapproval of gun play in televisionprograms.B. To make people aware that there are already enough nuclear arms.C. To elect national leaders with greater stability and self-control.D. To bring up children who show more respect for the law and oth ers’ rights.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。

Most of us might think of crowds of teenagers in a 1950’s movie house watching Bwana Devil in 3-D. But 3-D technology made its first appearance on the scene in 1838 with the first stereoscope(体视镜). And the first actual 3-D movie was a 1903 film called Le Ariveed’un Train.Although it has such a long history, the technology has still remained based on one simple principle-----to make 3-D effects you must find a way to project two slightly different pictures to each eye. Modern 3-D technology works by rapidly flickering(闪动) two versions of the movie and projecting them onto each eye. The brain does the rest of the work, combining the two pictures together into one and giving the show the appearance of depth, the third dimension.But does this exposure, especially long exposures, ca use harm to the child’s developing brain and visual system? Unfortunately, long-term studies on new flicker digital 3-D technology and children aren’t yet available. We do not know if regular or daily 3-D viewing over years affects the developing visual system, although older 3-D methods basically do the same thing and are not considered harmful.The question of possible harm in modern 3-D use in TV is really based on two facts: the amount of time children will now be watching 3-D TV each day and the sensitivity some children show in reaction to 3-D viewing. It is difficult to make actual lab studies of longer term 3-D viewing in children because of the possible harm of the experiment. Researchers will have to wait until 3-D TV technology is already in the marketplace for a number of years, then check heavy 3-D TV watchers and compare them with non-watchers.With a 3-D television technology in the home, we will soon be able to answer the question of whether or not longer and more frequent periods of 3-D exposure cause more changes in the visual system. We may find that the bigger problem is the introduction of a new technology that leads to even more time spent on TV rather than playing outdoors.8. According to the text, 3-D technology ______A. was refused by people when it first appeared.B. will soon change the way we watch TV.C. does no good to our visual system.D. has a history of nearly 200 years.9. Paragraph 2 is mainly about________A. how 3-D technology works.B. why 3-D movies are popularC. the history of 3-D technology.D. the influence of 3-D technology.10. What’s the method suggested in paragraph 4?A. To wait and seeB. To carry out lab studiesC. To stop making 3-D moviesD. To improve 3-D technology11. The a uthor’s purpose in writing the text is to _______A. ask children not to watch 3-D moviesB. discuss if 3-D viewing is harmful to children.C. introduce the advantages of 3-D technology.D. predict the development of 3-D technology.DDeveloped and developing nations can learn from each other seeking a low carbon economy，a Chinese government official said in Shanghai yesterday.“China doesn't lag developed nations in terms of energy saving and green economy”，said Zhou Changyi，director of the energy saving department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.“While we can learn many aspects from developed nations，they also should learn something from us，such as water conservation，”Zhou said in a speech during the new Path of China's Industrialization forum at the ongoing China International Industry Fair 2009.He said industrialized nations and China are dealing with different issues to combat climate change. The United Kingdom，for example，is concerned about transport，buildings and new energy in reducing carbon emissions. For China，the most urgent task is how to realize new type of industrialization and avoid mistakes that other countries made when they industrialized.As such，overseas exhibitors at this year's fair are showing ways to help China achieve low carbon emissions in the industrial section.Swiss power and automation technology group ABB called for a stronger focus on product lifecycle assessment，or LCA，which is used to study the environmental impact of a product from the research and manufacturing stage through its usage and recycling.Tobias Becker，head of ABB's process automation division for North Asia and China，said LCA is an effective tool in helping manufacturing industries to reduce carbon emissions.LCA shows that industrial customers should focus on a product's environmental impact throughout its lifecycle instead of on its initial investment or ready to use stage. For example，a motor's initial investment accounts for only 3 percent of its lifecycle cost，while 94 percent goes to fuel consumption and the rest to maintenance.Richard Hausmann，North East Asia CEO of Siemens，said，“The color of future industrialization is green.”The Germany Company recently announces that it wants to receive orders worth more than 6 billion Euros (US 8.8 billion) for intelligent net power networks，Smart Grid，over the next five years. Siemens has set a 20 percent market share target for the global smart grid business.A smart grid delivers electricity from suppliers to consumers using digital technology，advanced sensors specialized computers that save energy，reduce costs and increase reliability. The United States and China are considered the two biggest markets for smart grid.12.“______”can replace the underlined word “lag”in paragraph 2．A. Fall behindB. Be superior toC. AttackD. Fear13. We can infer ______ from the last two paragraphs of this passage.A. Siemens has occupied 20 percent market share for the global smart grid businessB. Siemens received orders worth 6 billion Euros recentlyC. Siemens will earn $ 8.8 billion from intelligent power networksD. Siemens' plan about Smart Grid may come true in the future14. ______ about Smart Grid isn't mentioned in the passage.A. Energy savingB. Low costC. SecurityD. Small in size15. The best title for the passage ______.A. Developed and Developing Nations Can Learn From Each OtherB. Low carbon Economy—a Shared GoalC. Intelligent Power NetworksD.

Just possibly, she may be the wisest woman on this planet. Too many people put off something that brings them joyjust because they haven't thought about it. Don't have it on their schedule, and didn't know it was coming or they are too strict to depart from their routine.I can't count the times I called my sister and said, “How about going to lunch in half an hour?” She would gasp and stammer(结结巴巴地说), “I can't. I have clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known it yesterday, I had a late breakfast, and it looks like rain.” And my personal favorite response: “It's just Monday.” She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together. From then on, I've tried to be a little more flexible.Life has a way of going faster as we get older. The days get shorter, and the list of promises made to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we are awaken, and all have to show for our lives is repetition of “I'm going to”, “I plan on” and “Someday, when things are settled down a bit.”When anyone calls my “seize the moment” friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new mind on new ideas. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for a while, and you're ready to change your attitude to life.My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I love ice cream.
