A
Larry was on another of his underwater expeditions(探险)but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.
Larry first began diving when he was his daughter’s age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive.
After the first expedition, Larry’s later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.
Larry’s first expedition with out his father was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them. Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around the different spots for free. Larry did not even know what the time was, how many spots he dived into or how many
photographs he had taken. The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.
Larry looked at his daughter. She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age.He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition. Already, she looked like she was much braver than Larry had been then. This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.

How fit are your teeth?Are you lazy about brushing them?Never fear:An inventor is on the case.An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush,and it lets you track your performance on your phone.
The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week.It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection.
The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right(don’t forget the insides of the teeth!)and mak e sure you’re brushing long enough.“It’s kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,”says Thomas Serval,the French inventor.
The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone,so developers could,for instance,create a game controlled by your toothbrush.You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth.“We try to make it smart but also fun,”Serval says.
Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father.He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth.They said“yes,”but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry.He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed.
The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer,for $99 to $199,depending on features.The U.S.is the first target market.
Serval says that one day,it’ll be possible to replace the brush on the handle
with a brushing unit that also has a camera.The camera can even examine holes in your teeth while you brush.
29.Which is one of the features of the Kolibree toothbrush?
A.It can sense how users brush their teeth.
B.It can track users’ school performance.
C.It can detect users’ fear of seeing a dentist.
D.It can help users find their phones.
30.What can we learn from Serval’s words in Paragraph 3?
A.You will find it enjoyable to see a dentist.
B.You should see your dentist on a day-to-day basis.
C.You can brush with the Kolibree as if guided by a dentist.
D.You’d like a dentist to watch you brush your teeth every day.
31.Which of the following might make the Kolibree toothbrush fun?
A.It can be used to update mobile phones.
B.It can be used to play mobile phone games.
C.It can send messages to other users.
D.It can talk to its developers.
32.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A.How Serval found out his kids lied to him.
B.Why Serval thought brushing teeth was necessary.
C.How Serval taught his kids to brush their teeth.
D.What inspired Serval to invent the toothbrush.

A new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops(笔记本电脑).
Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度).But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.
Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes“mindlessly”by taking down word for word what
the professors said.
In the first experiment,students were given either a laptop or pen and paper.They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills.Thirty minutes after the talk,they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.
The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand.However,the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts.Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.
The researchers’ report said,“While more notes are beneficial,if the notes are taken mindlessly,as is more likely the case on a laptop,the benefit disappears.”
In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory,students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture.This time,the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.
These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding,but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.
33.More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can .
A.write more notes
B.digest concepts better
C.get higher scores
D.understand lectures better
34.While taking notes,laptop users tend to be .
A.skillful
B.mindless
C.thoughtful
D.tireless
35.The passage is likely to appear in .
A.a newspaper advertisement
B.a computer textbook
C.a science magazine
D.a finance report

Money Matters
Parents should help their children understand money. 36 So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.
1. The basic function of money
Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It is important to show your child how money is traded for the things he wants to have. If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier(收银员). 37 When your child grows a bit olde r and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more ways of using money.
2. Money lessons
Approach money lessons with openness and honesty. 38 If you must say no to a child’s request to spend money, explain, “You have to make a choice between this and that toy.”
3. 39
Begin at the grocery store. Pick out two similar brands of a product –a name-brand butter and a generic(无商标产品), for example.You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money. 40 If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the money saved. Later, you may explain how more expensive choice leaves less money for other purchases.
A. Wise decision
B. The value of money
C. Permit the child to choose between them.
D. Tell your child why he can –or cannot –have certain things.
E. Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you.
F. Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store.
G. The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest. 第三部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)

Good morning, everyone! It is my honor to be here to share with you my opinions on what to learn in senior high school.
In the coming three years, your school life will be challenging. Firstly, you should learn to learn efficiently. Personally, I used to try effective methods to achieve my academic goals. Developing a good habit is also of importance. It really benefited me a lot to preview lessons, get actively involved in class and review what had been taught after class.
In addition, you should learn how to get along with others in school. I respected teachers and was friendly with classmates. It was with sincerity and faithfulness that we created a harmonious atmosphere.
Finally, you should take part in sports and other outdoor activities frequently. They are very helpful to build up your body and enrich your school life.
No pains, no gains. I am sure that with your great efforts, you will enjoy a
colorful and fruitful life here.
Thank you!。
