Clara Daly was seated on an Alaska Airlines flight from Boston to Los Angeles when a flight attendant asked an urgent(紧急的) question over the loudspeaker: “Does anyone on board know American Body Language?” She knew she needed to help.
Clara, 15 at the time, pressed the call button. The flight attendant came by and explained the situation. “We have a passenger on the plane who’s blind and deaf,” she said. The passenger seemed to want something, but he was traveling alone and the flight attendants couldn’t understand what he needed, according to PEOPLE magazine.
Clara had been studying ASL for the past year to help with her dyslexia (阅读障碍) and knew she’d be able to spell on the man’s palm(手掌) by finger. So she unbuckled her seat belt, walked toward the front of the plane, and knelt by the aisle seat of Tim Cook, then 64. Gently taking his hand, she wrote, “How are you? Are you OK?” Cook asked for some water. When it arrived, Clara returned to her seat. She came by again a bit later because he wanted to know the time. On her third visit, she stopped and stayed for a while.
“He didn’t need anything. He was lonely and wanted to talk,” Clara said. So for the next hour, that was what they did. She talked about her family and her plans for the future (she wants to be a politician). Cook told Clara how he had gradually become blind over time and shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman. Even though he couldn’t see her, she “looked attentively at his face with such kindness”, a passenger reported.
“Clara was amazing,” a flight attendant told Alaska Airlines in a blog interview. “You could tell Cook was very excited to have someone he could speak to, and she was such a warm-hearted girl.” Cook’s reaction: “Best trip I’ve ever had.”
Looking for ways to offer help? Start with this random(随时的) act of kindness that can change someone’s life right now.
4. The flight attendant asked an urgent question because ________.
A. the passenger was traveling alone
B. the plane was in a dangerous situation
C. the passenger asked for something suddenly
D. none of the flight attendants could communicate with the passenger
5. Why did Clara talk about her plans for the future?
A. Because the flight attendant asked her to do so.
B. Because she needed topics to go on talking with Cook.
C. Because Cook hoped to understand teenagers better.
D. Because she wanted to show her dream for the future.
6. Which of the following words can best describe Clara?

After years of releasing e-readers that compete directly with Amazon’s Kindle, Rakuten Kobo’s latest device offers something totally different: theability to draw and write directly on the screen.
With a large 10.3-inch E-ink display, the Kobo Elipsa looks more like an electronic clipboard than the standard paperpack-sized e-reader. Although the ability to write on the screen is no big deal — especially given its high price tag of $ 600 — the overall package is impressively functional.
In terms of reading, the Elipsa packs just about everything you’d expect in a Kobo. You can purchase and download books from the store, read web articles you’ve saved online via Pocket, and connect to your local library to borrow e-books and magazines. It’s known that Kindle basically requires you to buy books from Amazon. Unlike Kindles, Kobos are pretty open with the formats they support; you can connect the Elipsa to a computer and transfer over any PDF books you have bought or downloaded from stores like Booktopia or Google Books.
You can fill your virtual notepads with notes using brush and pen types, and export them as PDFs or images to a PC. There’s also an “advanced” notebook that can turn your writing into typed and editable text for exporting to Microsoft Word format. You can also write directly onto documents themselves, with all your word circling and
underlining saved as you go to review later. This is especially handy when it comes to PDFs, as changes you make are synced（同步）automatically when you have Wi-Fi, so you can move between your Elipsa, PC and phone and keep your notes.
With all that said, we can see it really appealing to e-reader fans who also tend to do a lot of work on paper. If you ever print things out to mark them up, fill notepads with writing or drawing that you later have to transcribe or scan, or just wish you could write all over your library books, this could be the device for you.
8. Which of the following best describes the Elipsa?
A. Automatic.
B. Traditional.
C. Useful.
D. Standard.
9. How is a Kobo different from a Kindle in reading?
A. A Kindle has a larger screen.
B. A Kindle can support more formats.
C. A Kobo supports books from various sources.
D. A Kobo should be connected to local libraries.
10. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about Kobos?
A Their function in syncing. B. Their function in typing.
C. Their function in writing.
D. Their function in reading.
11. In which section of a newspaper can the text probably be found?
A. Education.
B. Technology.
C. Lifestyle.
D. Business.
D

内容自拟。

Dear Peter,
Recently, troubled by the painful conflict between my parents and me, I’m writing to seek for your advice.
First, they take it for granted that they could read my diary and interfere with（干涉）my social life just to protect me, making it impossible for me to make friends, though. Besides, on my entering senior high, my parents care too much for my study as if I were a robot deprived of（剥夺）any entertainment. Every time I surfed the Internet, they would shoot me angry eyes. I wonder why they are so hard on a teenager and find fault with my behavior.
Your prompt reply would be highly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Li Hua 注意：1.词数100左右；
