Have you ever walked on the road while playing with your mobile phone? Be careful! It might 21 accidents, like hitting a tree. Now, thanks to the development of science and technology, we have a new invention to solve this 22 . It is called a transparent(透明的) screen.
The Android app called Transparent Screen Pro uses the 23 on your mobile phone. When you are using your phone, this app captures an instant image(捕捉实时图像) and uses it as the background of your screen. In this way it makes your phone look transparent. You can see the road and the street view 24 as you are texting or reading novels on your phone. You can also make your screen look semi-transparent by changing the settings of the app.
A .waiting for B. popular C. screen D. turning on E. worry
However, this useful app also has its side effect. Many users 25 that it may be used to peep at(偷窥) others without being noticed. “Imagine you are 26 the bus at a bus stop,” said a female user, “and the man staring at his phone could be secretly peeping at you!”
As the app becomes more and more 27 , it also draws some criticism(批评). Nowadays mobile phones have already taken up too much of our time. Maybe we should move our eyes away from the 28 sometimes, and take a good look at the real world.

Clyde, a small-clawed otter (水獭), was moved from Auckland Zoo to Wellington Zoo two months ago. The zookeepers hoped he and the other otter Bonnie might start a family together.
But only two days after he arrived, Clyde went missing. He had dug his way under one of the walls and was nowhere to be seen.
The zookeepers set up cages inside the z oo, with plate of Clyde’s favorite fish in them, hoping to catch him.
Two days went by and still there was no sign of Clyde’s.
At last a couple saw Clyde at their house—a whole kilometer away in Newtown. Clyde was hiding in an out-of-reach hole outside their laundry.
The zookeeper arrived and set up some more traps to try to catch him. But Clyde is a pretty smart otter. Twice he managed to get the fish out of a trap without being caught.
Five days after he’s escaped, Clyde’s days on the run came to an end when he was finally caught in one of the traps.
It was no good putting Clyde back in his old home—he’d only dig his way out again. So he and Bonnie were put into the zoo hospital. There was no chance of their escaping from there. Meanwhile, the zookeepers were working hard to make Clyde’s old home safer. They put an iron barrier underground to stop him digging their way out. Then Bonnie and Clyde went home again.
But a month after his first escape, Clyde was out again. Once more the zookeepers came hurrying to catch Clyde. They found him by following the bubbles he made in the river nearby.
Nobody knew how Clyde had escaped. But this time he was only out for an hour. So, he went back to the hospital again.
Poor Clyde. It seemed that he wasn’t happy at Wellington Zoo, even though he and Bonnie were getting on well together. The keepers didn’t like seeing him unhappy, so they planned to look for a home for him somewhere else.
44. Where was Clyde found after his first escape?
A．Back in Auckland Zoo. B．In a river nearby.
C．At a house a kilometer away. D．In the Zoo hospital.
45. How long did his first run-away from the zoo last?
A．2 days B．5 days C．1 hour D．1 month
46. How did the zookeepers catch Clyde after his second escape?
A．They set up cages in the zoo. B．They attracted Clyde with fish.
C．They dug a hole outside his home. D．They followed the bubbles in the water.
47. What do we know about Clyde?
A．He didn’t get on well with Bonnie. B．He was good at digging.
C．He was happy in Wellington Zoo. D．He escaped to meet Bonnie.
48. Why was Clyde sent to the hospital after being found?
A．Because he was injured in his escape.
B．Because Bonnie was waiting for him in the hospital.
C．Because there was an iron barrier underground in his old home.
D．Because there was no chance for Clyde to escape from the hospital.
49. Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?

Kids are born for science. This idea may surprise you because science seems d 56 to learn. Yet it really holds water and science learning is likely to make a great d 57 in kids’ lives.
The most important part of science is a mixture of t 58 and experiment called the scientific method. It’s where you start with an idea, create a way to explain your idea, and show what you learned based on facts. Learning to follow this process helps you think logically (逻辑地) and carefully. One of the greatest thing we can teach our children is to love learning. Learning science is a great way to do so. Children are a 59 by science because much of science is hands-on. Nothing draws a child to sitting up and taking notice like science experiments.
Science opens doors to many s 60 at school. Building love for science can be helpful in other areas of study. For example, one cannot love science for very long without becoming good at its language — math! So, science encourage children to study math. An interest in science is an interest in how things were once understood compared to how they are understood now. As a result, studying science leads itself easily to studying history.
Science is the b 61 thing for much of our life. The science of famring shows how our food is produced; biomedical (生物医学的) science keeps us healthy; e 62 our beds these days are designed according to scientific facts. We almost eat, sleep and breath with the help of science!
Read the passage below and answer the following questions (根据文章内容回答下列问题)
Children in the US are active about community service and regard it as a necessary part of their lives. Some schools make community service a requirement for grad uation. Let’s look at what students abroad have been doing for their communities.
Shi Siyao, 17, an 11th grader in the US
I chose to attend a programme for handicapped (残疾的) kids in my neighbourhood. The kid I worked with most was a six-year-old boy named Ryan. I had been told that he was always the child who made the teachers crazy. However, my time with Ryan went surprisingly well. It did not take
long for me to discover that he was actually a smart little guy, with extraordinary ideas in mind. Sometimes he is naughty just because he is eager to make friends.
Chen Tuo, 17, a 12th grader in the US
Winston Churchill once said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” I am willing to agree with him. I have been volunteering at the Boston Children’s Hospital every year since I was 13. At the beginning, I only wanted to go because I would get credit (学分) for something as simple as entertaining children at the hospital. After giving my time for 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for two months, my opinion changed completely.
Zheng Chenyu, 17, an 11th grader in the US
Last Wednesday, I had my first painting job as a member of Habitat for Humanity, an organization that helps build and rebuild home for people in need. I remember that, back when my family was decorating our new house, I was so eager to help with the painting of the wall. Unfortunately, I was never allowed to touch the brushes. “You would just ruin the wall and your clothes.” My mum shouted. I felt overjoyed when the school bus carried ten of us to the shelter. I would finally have a chance to paint the wall myself.
