(A)Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One time in the middle of the night, an old lady in her 80s took my taxi. She gave me an address, and then asked, "Could you drive through downtown?""It's not the shortest way," I answered quickly."Oh, I don't mind," she said. "I'm in no hurry. I'm on my way to a hospice (临终关怀医院）．I don't have any family left. The doctor says I don't have very long." I quietly shut off the meter. "What route would you like me to take?" I asked.For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived, the place where she danced as a girl. As the sun was rising, she asked me to go to the address she had given me. "How much do I owe you?" she asked, reaching into her purse."Nothing," I said."You have to make a living," she answered. "There are other passengers."―You gave an old woman a little moment of joy," she said. "Thank you."I drove into the fine morning light. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life. I drove aimlessly（漫无目的地），lost in thought. For the rest of that day, I could hardly talk. What if that woman had gotten an angry driver, or one who was impatient to end his shift? What if I had refused to take the run?26. What did the woman want to do that night?A.

Tu, born in 1930, shared the 2015 Nobel Prize forPhysiology or Medicine with Irish-born William Campbell and Japan’sSatoshi Omura for her discoveries about a therapy against malaria（疟疾）.She discovered Artemisinin（青蒿素）, a drug that has reduced the death rates for patients suffering from malaria. ―Artemisinin is a gift for the world people from the traditional Chinese medicine.It is of great importance for curing malaria and other infectious diseases and for protecting the health of the world people,‖ Tu said in Beijing. ―The discovery of Artemisinin is a successful example of collective research on traditional Chinese medicine. The prize winning is an honor for China’s science cause and traditional Chinese medicine in their course of reaching out to the world.‖―Tu’s winning the prize means China’s progress in scientific and technological field, marks a great contribution of traditional Chinese medicine to the cause of human health, and showcases China’s growing strengths and rising international standing,‖ Premier Li Keqiang said in a congratulatory letter Monday evening.In 2011, Tu became the first scientist on the mainland to win America’s respected Lasker Award for the anti-malaria therapy. Graduating from the Beijing Medical College in 1955, she is chief researcher and professor at the Beijing-based China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences.On China’s Sina Weibo, the breaking news has been forwarded（转载）by at least tens of thousands of users and received many ―thumb-ups.‖ Netizen（网民）―Shengxiaxohuiyi‖ wrote, ― Now I feel truly proud of being a medical student.‖29.

The breaking news makes at least tens of thousands of people excited（C）We cannot remember clearly since when we have started to take our mobiles (手机) to a dinner table. This happens a lot, especially when we eat out. Once a dish comes, instead of lifting our chopsticks(筷子), we take out our mobiles and click (咔哒). Later, we post the photos onto microblog or WeChat, waiting to be liked‖. Then we check o ur mobiles from time to time during the meal to see whether we get ―liked‖ or not. We just cannot leave our mobiles for only a meal.Is that sound familiar (熟悉的) to you? Do you do that often? If not, how do you feel when others do that when having dinner with you?A recent study suggests that what we are used to doing is not that good. Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less delicious. To test this, some researchers(研究人员) did an experiment(实验). Some people were asked to take photos before they could enjoy food. It showed that the more photos they took, the less delicious the food seemed to them. So, why not stop taking photos and just enjoy the food in front of you?Besides the scientific(科学的) result, there are also some other bad influences of taking photos of food before meals. After posting the photos onto the Internet, one will involuntarily (不自觉地) check his mobile many times. ― Does everyone like my photos? I hope a lot of people like them!‖ It seems like your mobile secretly calls your name all the time, even when you are with real people.So, next time you go out to have dinner with your family or friends, how about not taking photos of food? Let the food be delicious as it is and share your life with people around you. Trust me. It will be a wonderful time.33. What does the recent study tell us about taking photos of food?A. It makes people stay long.B. It makes food less deliciousC. It makes people want to leave.D. It makes people enjoy the food34. What does the fourth paragraph talk about?A. The reasons for checking your mobiles.B. The ways of posting the photos onto the internet.C. Other bad influences of taking photos before meals.D. The tips for making others like your photos on the microblog.35. What does the writer think of taking photos of food?A. FunnyB. HelpfulC. NecessaryD. Unacceptable36. What can we learn from the passage?A. Remember to have dinner with our family and friends at home.B. forget the photos and enjoy the life with people around us.C. take photos of delicious food and share them with othersD. Take photos of food in order to have a wonderful life.New Technology Revolutionizes(变革) LearningMore and more people believe that technologies are great for learning.Today, such teaching tools as iPads are used in a lot of courses, includinglanguage, history and science.Many teachers are supporters of using iPads in language learning. They say that students now have much mor e time for discussion in the classroom.Instead of spending valu able classtime listening to texts or watching teaching videos, students can do this on their own and come to class prepared for discussion.The teachers also say that iPads allow students to learn at their own pace. Some students might listen to a dialogue only once and understand it, so they can save time for doing other things. Other students, however, might need to listen to the same dialogue again and again to understand it. Using iPads is especially helpful to students who are learning a language at different paces.The students who are using the new tool in some courses are also happy. They believe that using iPads is a more enjoyable way to learn (such as listening to stories and watching movies). The class has become much more interesting and creative.There are other advantages for students. By using iPads, they can pay more attention to the material and learn more. Teaching notes are stored in their iPads and are easy to find .Some students spend more time studying now. ―I can listen to my language material or watch teaching videos on the bus, instead of having to wait until I get home,‖ a student explained.Many adults complain that technologies such as iPads are doing harm to students. They worry that students might use iPads to download teaching notes and use them to cheat during exams. Some believe that iPads may separate students from each other. If a student spends more time watching videos on an iPad, he will have fewer opportunities to have face-to-face communication with others.However, technologies are already a part of most students’ day-to-day lives. As for cheating, teachers can ask students to hand in their iPads when they take exams. Education needs to make changes with the times as technology is playing an important part. We should look forward to a wonderful future when iPads and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom.37.What does the expre ssion ―at their own pace‖ in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. According to their own timetable.B. Without their teachers’ help.C. Because of their wonderful goals.D. Against their parents’ hope.38. From the passage we can learn that____.A. students with iPads have less discussion in classB. students get more fun from learning with iPadsC. iPads help students save time waiting for busesD. iPads prevent students from cheating in exams39. The writer probably agrees that____.A. teachers can take control of students’ learningB. exam results depend a lot on now technologyC. technology in education has a bright futureD. note-taking is as helpful as video-watching40.Where does the passage possibly come from?A.
