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.

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.

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。

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.

Although time and experience are the best teachers, we also suffer from experiences such as our sacrifices, suffering and the hardships. Good judgmentdevelops only when we truly learn from our mistakes. However, many people keep repeating the same mistakes before learning their lessons because as they say, they are just humans who are subject to making mistakes.Our weaknesses in life can be turned into our strengths if we immediately acknowledge and recognize the fact that we mess up and learn from them. Our good or bad experiences help us learn better judgment in life. Yet, too many people are in denial and place the blame on others without realizing that the minute they take responsibility for their action is when the learning process begins. Aside from learning from our own experience, we can also learn valuable lessons from the experience of others. It allows us to observe our behavior from another angle. When we recognize our mistakes and prevent them from happening again, we are, therefore, learning.Quickly identifying our mistakes and changing behavior accordingly requires less time and energy than denying mistakes. However, acknowledgement of mistakes requires belief in the idea that the perfection is not possible.It is easier to analyze our mistakes especially when we talk to others, which can help people to sort out comments or criticisms after a mistake is made. Despite our tendency to avoid mistakes, timely acknowledgement is one of the best ways to prevent them from repeating.24. What does learning from the experience of others help us do?A. Re-evaluate our behavior differently.B. Realize that mistakes are part of life.C. Recognize the results of mistakes.D. Learn better judgment in life.25. What should we keep in mind to admit our mistakes?A. Every man has his faults.B. Mistakes are great teacher.C. Behind bad luck comes good luck.D. As you make your bed, so you must lie in it.26. According to the author, how should we avoid repeating mistakes?A. Think twice before acting.B. Learn carefully from others’ comments.C. Have a timely talk with others for advice.D. Admit the existence of mistakes in time.27. Which of the following opinions does the author intend to convey the most?A. Never be afraid of making mistakes.B. Learn wisdom from our mistakes.C. Learn from others to see our mistakes.D. Stop being ashamed of making mistakes.CI first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Su ndance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film - it wanted somebody as well known as Paul―he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft （技艺）and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other―but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core（核心）of our relationship off the screen.We shared the brief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back―he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival.Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.28.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first?A. Paul Newman wanted it.B. The stud io powers didn’t like his agent.C. He wasn’t famous enough.D.The director recommended someone else29.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?A. They were of the same age.B. They worked in the same theater.C. They were both good actors.D. They have similar characteristics.30.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?A.
