The 4G mobile phones have been made available for some time and are now on hot sale. Quite a few customers are attracted by the much quicker access to the Internet
and some new fancy features or functions and some people just want to keep pace with fashion.
By today's standards, my mobile phone is pretty rubbish. It's a Nokia 1616. If
that doesn't mean much to you (it's not the kind of phone you see advertised on television), all you need to know is that it's a small, not very heavy device with
which you can send and receive telephone calls and text messages. It also has a very handy f lashlight o n t he t op f or w hen y ou c an't f ind y our k eys, o r w hen y ou d rop s omething
on the floor in the cinema. Other than that, my phone doesn't do much. Well, it has
an alarm, and it probably has a calculator and things like that, but it's nothing compared to a smartphone. Why would I want one of those?
I have often been told that the big advantage of having a smartphone is that "you
can do everything with them!" But when was the last time you saw someone doing "everything" with a smartphone? Okay, so they may have an endless list of functions, but generally they are used for checking social networking sites, playing games, and receiving and replying to emails. I'm happy just doing all of those things at home
on my laptop.
As far as I can tell, the best thing about having a smartphone is that you can
be connected to the internet all the time. Don't get me wrong. I love the internet,
but I just don't see the point of constantly being online. I can't remember the last
time I received a Facebook update which was so urgent that I had to read it as soon
as it appeared, and I can't imagine ever having a job which was so important that I would need to read work-related emails immediately. I would think that if someone needed me urgently, they would just ring me rather than send an email. And my trusty Nokia can manage that.
One of the most peculiar effects of the smartphone is, in my opinion, the newly-found addiction to maps and navigation (导航) systems. Is there anything more boring than knowing exactly where you are all of the time? How do you get to know an area if you don't get lost there a few times? And if you are dependant on online maps, what happens to those great places you find just by chance? You can't exactly find
out from Google maps the journey from “here”to “that hidden cafe with the
tasty-looking cakes", or to "that pond next to the church which looks really pretty
in t he e vening s un. "I t i s, o f c ourse, t rue t hat w e a ll o ccasionally n eed t o b e p ointed
in the right direction, but I find that there are often real life humans you can ask.
There are many benefits of having a very basic mobil e phone, like the fact that it cost me about twenty pounds, and that I don't have to worry too much about it being stolen. But the main benefit has to be the fact that it provides me with the word “greatest excuse for my bad habits”. Whether it's turning up late to events, or getting l ost on a trip, or missing buses or trains, or forgetting about an appointment
at w ork, I'm p retty s ure I'm c overed w ith t he f ollowing e xplanation "I'm r eally, s orry
I don't have a smartphone."
29. The writer uses his Nokia 1616 mainly to __________.
A. play online games
B. do calculating work
C. make calls and text messages
D. check social network sites
30. It can be inferred from the above passage that__________.
A. work-related emails should be answered immediately
B. a Facebook update is usually very important
C. smartphones should always be connected to the net
D. a laptop and a smartphone share many functions
31. According to the passage, if you use navigation systems, you may __________.
A. find a boring trip actually exciting
B. miss some really wonderful places
C. be persuaded to eat in a certain cafe
D. be misled to a totally wrong place
32. To the writer, one benefit of having a basic mobile phone is that__________.
A. it can be used as an excuse for his bad habits
B. it can often be found back after it is stolen
C. it can remind him of important appointments
D. it can save him the trouble of catching trains
D
Work is of great significance to individuals’ lives in America and people hold serious attitudes to work. When the early Protestant immigrants came to this country, they brought the idea that work was the way to God and heaven. This attitude, the
Protestant Work Ethic(道德规范), still influences America today. Work is not only important for economic benefits, the salary, but also for social and psychological needs, the feeling of doing something for the good of the society. Americans spend most of their lives working, being productive.
For most Americans, their work defines them: they are what they do. What happens then, when a person can no longer work? Almost all Americans stop working at age sixty-five or seventy and retire. Because work is such an important part of life in
this culture, retirement can be very difficult. Retirees often feel that they are
useless and unproductive. Of course, some people are happy to retire; but leaving one’s job, whatever it is, is a difficult change, even for those who look forward
to retiring. Many retirees do not know how to use their time or they feel lost without
their jobs. Retirements can also bring financial problems. Many people rely on Social Security checks every month. During their working years, employees contribute a certain percentage of their salaries to the government. Each employer also gives a certain percentage to the government. When people retire, they receive this money as income. These checks do not provide enough money to live on, however, because prices are increasing very rapidly. Senior citizens, those over sixty-five, have to have savings in the bank or other retirement plans to make ends meet. The rate of inflation
（通货膨胀）is forcing prices higher each year; Social Security checks alone cannot cover these growing expenses. The government offers some assistance(补助), Medicare(health care)and welfare(general assistance), but many senior citizens have
to change their life styles after retirement. They have to spend carefully to be sure
that they can afford to buy food, fuel and other necessities.
Of c ourse, m any s enior c itizens a re h appy w ith r etirement. T hey h ave t ime t o s pend with their families or enjoy their hobbies. Some continue to work part time, others
do voluntary work. Some, like those in the Retired Business Executives Association, even h elp y oung p eople t o g et s tarted i n n ew b usiness. M any r etired c itizens a lso b elong
to “Golden Age”groups. These organizations plan trips and social events. There are
many chances for retirees.
American society is only beginning to be concerned about the special physical and
emotional needs of its senior citizens. The government is taking steps to ease the problem o f l imited i ncome. T hey a re b uilding n ew h ousing, o ffering d iscounts i n s tores

33. The author believes that work first became important to Americans because of
_______.
A. economy
B. religion
C. psychology
D. family
34. The passage is mainly about _______.
A. money and check
B. senior and junior
C. Protestants and Americans
D. work and retirement
35. When Americans stop work, it’s difficult for them to _______.

第二节七选五（共五题，满分10分）
Before going outside in the morning, many of us check a window thermometer(温度计)for the temperature. This helps us decide what to wear. _____36___. We want our food to be a certain coldness in the refrigerator. We want it a certain hotness in
the oven. If we don’t feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We
keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer. Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. We use a system called the Fahrenheit scale. But most other countries use the Centigrade scale.
Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide._____37_____
.
The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury(水银)inside a clear glass tube. As mercury (or any other liquid ) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder,
it contracts(收缩). That is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass
tube._____38______.
First. Take a clear glass juice bottle that has a cap ; fill the bottle with coloured
water. Tap a hole in the center of the cap using a hammer and thick nail. Put the cap
on the jar. Then stick a plastic straw(吸管) through the nail hole.
______39_____.
Finally. Place a white card on the outside of the bottle and behind the straw. Now
you can see the water lever easily.
______40____.
As the temperature goes down, the water will contract, and the lever in the straw will
come down. Perhaps you will want to keep a record of the water lever in the straw each morning for a week.
A．We use and depend on thermometers to measure the temperature of many other things
in our daily lives.
B．Thermometers m easure t emperature, b y u sing m aterials t hat c hange i n t he s ame way
when they are heated or cooled.
C．Now that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own that will work.
D．The water will rise in the straw. As the temperature of the air goes up,
the water will
expand and rise even higher.
E．They label these in different ways. On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes
at 32 d egrees a nd b oils a t 212 d egrees. O n t he C elsius s cale w ater f reezes a t 0d egrees
and boils at 100degrees.
F．Take wax (you may use an old candle if you have one) and melt some of it right where the straw is struck into the cap to seal把..粘住) them together.
G．People u se t hermometers w hich a re m ade b y t hemselves w hen t ravelling a round the
world.
