Former Irish President Mary Robinson was just making a polite conversation with an Ethiopian（埃塞俄比亚的）teenager about her wedding day. The 16-year-old had already been married for a year．"She looked at me with the saddest eyes and said, 'I had to drop out of school,'" Robinson said in a telephone interview．"That conveyed to me the reality, "said Robinson, the first woman to serve as Ireland's president and former U．N．high commissioner for human rights．"Her life, as far as she is concerned, had more or less ended．"Robinson said keeping girls in school was one of the most important things policymakers could do to address the coming challenges of an ever-increasing population, predicted by the United Nations to reach 7 billion soon．"European countries are concerned about aging populations as is Japan, but this is much less of an issue than the huge number of people which we are going to see over the next 40 years when the population goes from 7 billion to 9 billion, "she said．"Almost all of that increase will be in poor developing countries, so that we have a very big challenge．"Family planning experts worry in particular about the future population explosion in sub-Saharan Africa．In May, the United Nations projected the world population would reach 9.3 billion in 2050 and 10.1 billion by 2100. Much of that growth will come from Africa, where the population is growing at 2.3 percent a year—more than double Asia' s 1 percent growth rate. If that rate stays consistent, which is not certain, Africa's population will reach 3.6 billion by 2100 from the present 1 billion．Joel Cohen, a professor of population studies at Rockefeller University and Columbia University in New York, said universal secondary education offered a way to reduce population in high birth-rate regions. In addition to providing information about birth control, a secondary education teaches women to reduce their own fertility（生育力）, improve the health of their children and allows them to move from a mind-set of having many children, in the hopes that some will survive to improving the quality of each child's life, Cohen wrote in the journal Nature.59. In the first paragraph, the author introduces his topic by_____．A. explaining the author's opinionsB. giving an exampleC. describing the poor education systemD. coming straight to the topic60. What can we learn from the passage?A. Robinson is happy after talking to the Ethiopian girl.B. Robinson is a successful expert in population studies.C. Robinson is worried about population growth.D. Robinson encourages female education.61. What is Joel Cohen's view about secondary education?A. It provides basic knowledge of health.B. It improves the health of children.C. It makes people pay more attention to education.D. It can change people's parenting ideas.62. According to the passage, the most important way to control high population growth is .A. keeping girls in schoolB. letting girls go away from AfricaC. letting young girls remain singleD. keeping girls in families2.阅读下列短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、 B、 C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

2014届高三英语二轮专题强化训练任务型阅读(真题+模拟)

2014届高三二轮专题强化训练：任务型阅读〔真题+模拟〕(一)(2013·江苏)Quiet Virtue: The ConscientiousThe everyday signs of conscientiousness (认真尽责)—being punctual, careful in doing work, selfdisciplined, and scrupulous (一丝不苟的) in attending to responsibilities—are typical characteristics of the model organizational citizen, the people who keep things running as they should. They follow the rules, help out, and are concerned about the people they work with. It's the conscientious worker who helps newcomers or updates people who return after an absence, who gets to work on time and never abuses stick leaves, who always gets things done on deadline.Conscientiousness is a key to success in any field. In studies of job performance, outstanding effectiveness for almost all jobs，from semiskilled labor to sales and management, depends on conscientiousness. It is particularly important for outstanding performance in jobs at the lower levels of an organization: the secretary whose message taking is perfect, the delivery truck driver who is always on time.Among sales representatives for a large American car manufacture, those who were most conscientious had the largest volume of sales. Conscientiousness also offers a buffer (缓冲) against the threat of job loss in today's constantly changing market, because employees with this quality are among the most valued. For the sales representatives, their level of conscientiousness mattered almost as much as their sales in determining who stayed on.There is an air around highly conscientious people that makes them seem even better than they actually are. Their reputation for dependability influences managers' evaluations of their work, giving them higher evaluations than objective measures of their performance would predict.But conscientiousness in the absence of social skills can lead to problems. Since conscientious people demand so much of themselves, they can hold other people to their own standards, and so be overly judgmental when others don't show the same high levels of model behavior. Factory workers in Great Britain and the United States who were extremely conscientious, for example, tended to criticize coworkers evenabout failures that seemed unimportant to those they criticized, which damaged their relationships.When conscientiousness takes the form of living up to expectations, it can discourage creativity. In creative professions like art or advertising, openness to wild ideas and spontaneity (自发性) are scarce and in demand. Success in such occupations calls for a balance, however, without enough conscientiousness to follow through, people become mere dreamers, with nothing to show for their imaginativeness.答案：1．strict2．helpful/good3．Functions/Roles/Importance/Significance4．running/working/going/operating/functioning5．performance(s)6．fired/dismissed/jobless7．problems/troubles8．higher/subjective/unfair/prejudiced9．tense/damaged/poor/bad10．discourage/affect/damage(二)(2012·安徽)Traveling to all corners of the world gets easier and easier. We live in a global village，but this doesn't mean that we all behave in the same way.How should you behave when you meet someone for the first time? An American shakes your hand firmly while looking you straight in the eye. In many parts of Asia, there is no physical contact (接触)at all. In Japan, you should bow, and the more respect you want to show, the deeper you should bow. In Thailand, people greet each other by pressing both hands together at the chest. In both countries, eye contact is avoided as a sign of respect.Many countries have rules about what you should and shouldn't wear. In Muslim countries, you shouldn't reveal (显露)the body, especially women, who should wear long blouses and skirts.In Korea, you should take off your shoes when entering a house. Remember to place them neatly together where you came in.In Spain, lunch is often the biggest meal of the day, and can last two or three hours. For this reason many people eat a light breakfast and a late dinner. In Mexico, lunch is the time to relax，and many people prefer not to discuss business as they eat. In Britain, it's not unusual to have a business meeting over breakfast.In most countries, an exchange of business cards is necessary for all introductions. You should include your company name and your position. If you are going to a country where your language is not widely spoken, you can get the backside of your card printed in the local language. In China，you may present your card with the writing facing the person you are giving it to.答案：1. behavior2. Greeting3. Bowing4. Muslim/Moslem5. door/entrance6. lunch7.

The latest sevenpart d ocumentary (纪录片) offers insights into the geographical, historical and cultural aspects of what Chinese eat.Made by Chen Xiaoqing, an awardwinning documentary maker, ChinaatYourTongueTips is filled with varieties of food, which tells us the beautiful pro cess of foodmaking. The program is sure to attract both food experts and ordinary audiences.Television is filled with food programs these days, especially introductions of top chefs and close looks at the complicated and refined (精制的) cooking processes of a feast (盛宴), but how to create dishes is only one aspect of food culture, according to Chen.“The program tries to bring something new by presenting more cultural elements related to dishes, like eating habits of eating.〞The surprise is that the show is not only about dishes. Every part focuses on different people, who tell stories about their adventures with food.“As a saying goes, ‘You are what you eat.’〞Chen says. “Food is always connected with people. Behind the documentary, they are stories that reflect people's living situations and attitudes. That's another section which makes it special.〞To get enough good stories, the production team spent three months doing researches and interviews in about 60 cities before they started shooting in last July. Filming lasted about nine months.ChinaatYourTongueTips shows social changes while presenting food culture, such as showing the elderly are in their hometowns while other members of this family work outside. In those cases, food serves as reminders of happy times and centerpieces of reunions.Title: A Hit about Chinese Food1．Introduction(s) 2.geography 3.attracted 4.full 5.Cultural 6.attention 7.reflect 8.research 9.Filming10．changes(四)(2013·合肥市第三次质检)Relationships make or break us. From the quality of our family time to our interactions at work, our relationships are largely responsible for our career success or failure. Here are some guidelines.People who focus on themselves when interacting with others rarely build positive lasting relationships. Instead，they should become good listeners and encourage ot hers to talk about themselves.All the skills and education in the world will never impress anyone as much as sincere, heartfelt care for them. Plus, few things have a more positive effect on others than finding out and remembering things about them. Knowing a lot about people is a real display of your care for them，and it creates a lasting bond.Give your relationship something positive when you meet，such as ideas，opportunities，and resources. Besides giving, be willing to receive from the other person. In fact, one of the best ways to start a relationship is to ask for advice or a favor. Everyone loves to show his expert knowledge and authority on a subject, because it makes him feel honored and respected.Try to use conflict as a tool，not a weapon. The presence of conflict in a relationship is natural and healthy. Damage only occurs when we react inappropriately to it. To learn more about the other person and find a solution that serves both of you, relationships could become stronger and deeper.Relationships break up quickly when others can't count on you, so say what you mean and stick to your word. Few things damage a friendship more severely than breaking a trust.If people know more about the value of good relationships, they can achieve both personal satisfaction and professional success. If you aren't naturally gifted in this area, don't worry. You can learn to improve them in your life and career.1．relationship2．focus/concentration/center3．impress4．Displaying/Showing5．positive6．Turning/Referring7．appropriate8．strengthen/improve/enhance9．reliable/honest10．professionally(五)(2013·马鞍山市第三次质检)Ask any group of teenagers in the UK what they most like to eat, and foods like pizzas, hamburgers and chips are sure to get a mention. But what teenagers like to eat is not necessarily what they should be eating. According to the National Diet and Nutrition Survey, far too many young people in the UK between the ages of 4 and 18 consume too much fat, sugar and salt in their diet. Meanwhile, their intake of fibre, iron and calcium (钙) is too low.For a growing body, eating foods containing plenty of calcium, such as milk, yogurt and cheese, is important as calcium is completely necessary for the development of healthy, strong bones. Similarly, foods that are rich in iron are good for young, rapidly developing bodies, so red meat, bread, green vegetables, and dried fruit are also recommended.It is during our teenage years that lifestyle habits can be formed, so it is vital that young people are educated about what foods are good for them. In 2005, and in an attempt to change eating habits and open teenagers' minds to new tastes, t he famous chef, Jamie Oliver started a “Feed Me Better〞 campaign. He worked with teachers and cooks in a number of schools across the UK to provide more healthy, nutritious school meal choices. Although some teenagers and parents resisted it,the campaign was in general believed as a huge success and helped to influence governmental policy on nutritional standards for school meals.No one expects to end the teenage love affair with fast and junk food but, hopefully, if projects like “Feed Me Better〞 continue to give out the right messages, more young people will understand the importance of balancing several treats with healthier food choices.1．Problems 2.diet/food 3.take 4.contain/have 5.rapid6．education 7.attempted 8.provided 9.generally10．balance(六)(2013·黄山市二模)When a customer finds that a purchased item is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the producer's claim for it, the first step is to give the warranty，or any other records which might help, to the store of purchase. This action will often produce results. However, if not, there are various means to gain satisfaction.A simple and common method is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the “higher up〞 the consumer takes their complaint, the faster they can expect a settlement. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer's favor, assuming they have a just claim.Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the store, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.Complaining is usually most effective when done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate the problem with the item. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statem ents. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound is unclear〞is better than “This stereo does not work.〞The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the producer. If so, the consumer should state the complaint as politely and firmly as possible.If a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. They can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to an organization responsible for protecting consumers' rights.答案：1．satisfied 2.helpful/useful 3.seriously 4.faster/sooner 5.phone/telephone 6.effectively7.demonstrating/showing/explaining8.Take9.threatening 10.charge(七)(2013·安徽名校联盟最后一卷)Family structure had changed dramatically over the last 50 years. The following are the types of families existing today.Nuclear FamilyThe nuclear family is a traditional type of family structure. This family type consists of mother, father and children. The nuclear family was long held in esteem by society as being the ideal in which to raise children because children in nuclear families receive strength and stability from the twoparent structure.Single Parent FamilyThe single parent family consists of one parent raising one or more children on his own. When only one parent is at home, it may be a struggle to find childcare, as there is only one parent working. This limits income and opportunities in many cases, although many single parent families have help from relatives and friends.Extended FamilyThe extended family structure consists of two or more adults who are related, either by blood or marriage, living in the same home. This family includes many relatives living together and working toward common goals. This type of family structure may be formed due to financial difficulties or because older relatives are unable to care for themselves alone.Childless FamilyWhile most people think of family as including children, there are couples who either cannot or choose not to have children. Many childless families take on the responsibility of pet ownership or have extensive contact with their nieces and nephews as a substitute for having their own children.StepfamilyOver half of all marriages end in divorce, and many of these individuals choose to get remarried. This creates the stepfamily, which involves two separate familiesmerging into one new unit. Stepfamilies tend to have more problems, such as adjustment periods and discipline issues.There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to what is the best type of family structure.

If the answer is yes, then have you ever thought about why? You may maintain that traveling can help you expand your scope of knowledge, especially geographical and historical learning. It will provide more chances for you to enjoy food and try on clothes that you otherwise cannot possibly have. A famous English author Francis Bacon (1561－1626) makes a point when he says that, “Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience.〞Evidence of leisure travel can be traced (追溯) as far back as ancient Babylon. This year, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council, the 1 billionth tourist will cross an international boundary before the end of this month. That means that one in seven people on the planet traveled this year, something that would not have been possible a few decades ago. Around 20 years ago only the rich could travel.While the US and France remain the two largest destinations for world travel, experts say much of the explosive growth in tourism has been to countries like Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, and the Ivory Coast, which weren't even on the world tourism map a decade ago. The top five destinations in the world, according to the United Nations World Tourism Organization, are Paris, London, New York, the Mediterranean, Turkey.Several factors have led to the boom in world travel. The prosperity (富裕) of people in Asia is one factor. People in Asian developing countries have lifted their incomes above middleclass levels in the past few years. And a lot of them have used their new wealth to travel. In addition, travel costs have been reduced thanks to the rapid development of transportation, and competition between airlines to give customers the best prices.1．geography 2.food(s) 3.Dating 4.decades 5.reach6．destinations 7.explosively/quickly/rapidly/fast 8.resulting9．richer/wealthier 10.spent(九)(2013·皖北协作区联考)In 2000, the world's first mobile phones with cameras were put on the market in Japan. Two years later, these phones were released in Australia, Europe and the United States. A market research shows that there has been a sharp rise in worldwide sales from 80 million mobile camera phones in 2003 to 1.14 billion by 2013.Camera phones have not only been used for entertainment. In Sweden, a grocer snapped a shot of a robber and downloaded the photograph to his computer, which allowed the police to catch the suspect. In Italy, the same thing was done when a shop owner snapped pictures of two robbers. In Wales, doctors send photos of Xrays to consult a more experienced specialist about medical treatment for their patients.In Japan, the police have set up a website for citizens to send pictures of suspicious activities.Now, newspaper reporters can use camera phones to take pictures of important events. They can then send the pictures to their newspaper office. As the quality of camera phone pictures increases, we can expect to see camera phones used more and normal cameras used less. More people are using their camera phones to take pictures of their trips, or just small unexpected things that happen in their daily lives. They can then send these pictures to friends anywhere.However, camera phones have also been used to commit crimes. To prevent spying, these phones are not allowed in government buildings in the United Kingdom. Some car companies don't allow their employees to use their phones because they want to prevent some employees watching new car models and sensitive information secretly. In Italy, to prevent dishonest voting, people are not allowed to use mobile phones while they vote.

Experts suggest you start seeds indoors if the ground is still cold. For best results with the least risk, they say, plant when the soil is warm, soon af ter the frostfree date for your area.Small plants may be placed a third of a meter apart in rows. If you grow staked plants, set the sticks in the ground about half a meter apart. Some larger varieties of tomatoes may need about a meter between plants and at least a meter and a half between rows. The idea is to leave enough space for harvesting.Work the soil to remove weeds(杂草). But do not work the soil too deeply or you could damage the tomato plants. Water the plants regularly during long dry periods. Give them plenty of water. Plants in containers may need water daily or even more than once a day. Besides, do give the tomato plants complete organic fertilizers(肥料)．Some gardeners train tomato plants to grow on supporting materials. Whatever you choose, make sure the supports are tall enough. Most modern tomato plants grow about a meter tall. Others reach almost two meters.Tomatoes started from seed take fortyfive to ninety days till harvest. The average air temperature should be about 24℃. In that case, you can pick the tomatoes when they are firm and fully colored. But if the weather is very hot, pick the tomatoes every day or two. Let them soften and develop their full color indoors.There was a time when people thought tomatoes were poisonous. In fact, they are just the opposite. Tomatoes are good for you. But are they a fruit or a vegetable?Technically, a tomato is a fruit—the fruit of the tomato plant. But some fruits, including tomatoes, may be called “vegetables〞 because they are used in tasty foods instead of sweet cooking.1．Grow/Growing 2.frost 3.distance/space 4.Managing 5.damaging 6.Feed/Fertilize/Fertilise 7.supports 8.earlier9．poison 10.vegetable(十一)(2013·蚌埠市一模)Trash removal(去除垃圾)is something every person needs to think about for their residence(住宅) because organizing a cleanup event can make the community more beautiful and be good for the environment. This is a good opportunity to bring families together and get them outdoors and helping each other to beautify (美化)the community.Organizing a trash removal event is easy if you know how to prepare for it. Getready to improve the place where you live to make it cleaner for everyone!You need to choose a day for the trash removal event. Select a date that is about two to four months away. Planning as far in advance as possible is always smart. Choose a second date as a backup (候补)in the event of rain or other bad weather conditions.Your best situation is to select an area in your community that is often used and tends to interest people on a regular basis. Parks are a good example of an area that might nee d a good cleanup. Lakes, beaches and areas that are found along roads that are traveled frequently could get some help in the trash removal event. Just make sure you make plans to clean up an area that will not be dangerous to everyone involved.It is strongly recommended that you ask for permission from the county, city or town before you start making serious plans to round up the garbage in an organized event. Doing so makes you responsible citizen of the community.Once you receive permission to hold a trash removal event you can then move forward with your plans.

Back then, racing around the playground or skipping rope for hours, you weren’t thinking fitness, you were thinking entertain ment. But in this age of high-tech home equipment and underused gym memberships, the si mple joy of jumping rope has been forgotten. Rediscovering it w ill give you a total-body exercise you can find.Although considered an excellent form of exercise, jumpingrope has never gained widespread acceptance because of two fundamental reasons. First, most people recognize jumping rop e as an excellent form of cardiovascular (心血管的) exercise, but they also believe that it is simply too difficult. I n other words, they don’t think they’ll be able to continue jumpin g for the near 20 minutes that it takes to achieve a beneficial ph ysical outcome. Second, many view it as somewhat boring and overly repetitive—not as something fun or enjoyable.As a matter of fact, jumping rope can be great fun if you fin d a proper way to practice it. Instead of doing the usual two-foot bounce over and over again, people good at rope-jumping often change their pattern every 10 or 20 jumps. A sing le bounce, a double–bounce, a skip, a knee-up, side swings, as well as a variety of other easy-to-learn free-style rope-jumping.Now researchers are learning that jumping rope also prepa res the brain for learning. It is an exercise allowing both brain h emispheres to perform in parallel to each other. In short , jumpi ng rope can be a life-long activity requiring little equipment, time and space, yet leadi ng to a much healthier life.44. From the first paragraph we learn that .A．jumping rope has faded from people’s memoriesB．people now have more advanced equipmentC．racing around the playground was preferredD．people now like to have exercise in a gym45. Rope jumping has not spread widely because .A．it benefits the cardiovascular system B．it is neither ea sy nor enjoyableC．it is considered boring and repetitiveD．it requires little equipment, time and space46. The first sentence in the 3rd paragraph implies . A．there is only one proper way to follow B．the usual w ay should not be usedC．the easiest way is always the best D．there are many ways to follow47.What is the author’s attitude towards rope jumping?A．He is arguing against it. B．He is in favor of it.C．He is sitting on the fence of it. D．He is not cle ar about it.参考答案 44-47ABDB*************************************************************结束完形填空Words：332 难度系数：★★★建议用时：16分钟“Two books per visit per week，”said the unsmiling librarian as she handed a library card.Neither the limits nor her attitude __1 __ me，a 9yearold Jewish girl growing up in Berlin in the 1950s.I neede d those visits.The books were filled with stories in which，however __2__ things seemed，everything __3__ well in the end，__4__ justice，bravery，and wisdom－a striking contrast(对比)to my everyday experiences.Thirty years later，I，a recent immigrant to the US with a daughter aged 13，stood in front of another librarian.This librarian was __5__.“What did she say？”I asked my daughter，who already knew a little English and often __6__ as my interpr eter.“She said，‘Can I help you？’”“Ask if they have any books in __7__，”I requested.“No，they don’t.”translated my daughter.While hunting for a job，I was told that the library needed people to __8__ books.The interview was short－the job didn’t require much English，just a __9__ of the alphabet.I started the next day.Every day，I handled hundreds of books whose meaning was __10__ from me，mentally dividing them by size and color.One day，while shelving，I found English for Beginners and began studying it on my own. __11__ English letters started forming words I could __12__，words combined into phrases，and－oh，__13__！—I was reading.It was a slow process，supported by dictionaries and __14__by tears，but it was progress.Afterwards I got promoted to the front desk －__15__books in and out and answering simple questions.

According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power.Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter.This is the area of the brain which processes information.It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found the effect is greater, the younger people learn a second language.A team led by Dr.Andrea Mechelli，from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English.They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density(密度)in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language.But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language，” said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales，has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills.“Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible，”he said.“You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34.Reading，writing, and comprehension were all tested.The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better.“Studying a language means you getan entrance to another world，” explained the scientists.5．The main subject talked about in this passage is________.A．science on learning a second languageB．man’s ability of learning a second languageC．language can help brain powerD．language learning and maths study解析：选C。

I have to stay up late in order to finish all my homework. I used to complain about all this pressure (25) school with my classmates. We did not appreciate our teachers for their hard work. We only (26) (know) that we got a lot of homework.After a few months, we did not complain about homework anymore (27) we knew that our teachers worked (28) (hard) than we did. We had no right to complain. Sometimes, we said, “I didn’t go to bed until 12:00 o’clock last night. Now I just want to sleep.”Our teacher would answer us, “I go to bed at 1:00 a.m. every day.”Since we knew how hard teachers work, we started to appreciate them. To give our thanks, we wrote a big card to the teachers (29) it was teachers’ day. When they got our card, they (30) (touch) because their students finally knew the teachers’ effort.After giving the card, I realized (31) powerful the sentence “thank you” is. When we give our thanks to somebody, the world is full of love. I say “thank you” to my friends, family, classmates, teachers, and even strangers. I like to see the smiles on their faces, so (32) (say) “thank you” every day is the way I make the world a better place.( B )The year before last, a new superhero landed on Earth to live among humans. When people needed help, Thor became their defender and saved (33) world. People loved Thor and the actor who played him — Chris Hemsworth.Hemsworth was born in Melbourne, Australia, in 1983.

Audiences (40) ____ seem to get enough of him! A second Thor film, Thor 2, is due out in 2013.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.The next time you’re riding a subway or bus, pay attention to your fellow passengers. Chances are you’ll see plenty of them with their heads down, tapping the screens of their tablets or41 on their smartphones. While these folks may be making good use of their time by staying42 , their bodies are paying a heavy price for such convenience.As hand-held devices such as smartphones and tablets are becoming more common, users are reporting some new 43 problems. Florida chiropractor (脊椎按摩师) Dean Fishman began noticing an increased number of his patients 44 of neck and shoulder pain. He traced these 45 to the overuse of hand-held devices, specifically the action of bending the neck, and created the term “Text Neck.” As if the painful symptoms weren’t bad enough, Fishman warns that an untreated case of Text Neck could lead to 46 spinal (脊柱的) damage. He founded the Text Neck Institute in an effort to treat and educate those suffering from Text Neck. Treatments offered there include chiropractic care, physical therapy, massage therapy and exercise planning.In order to avoid or reduce the possibility of getting Text Neck, use the following basic principles:●Avoid awkward positioning. Don’t strain (滥用) your neck, and stay aware of how your bodyis 47 in relation to the device.●Take frequent 48 when using any kind of mobile device.●When using a tablet, use a case that can back up the device at comfortable 49 angle.For those who 50 can’t take their eyes off their devices, there is an ironic twist –downloading a special app（应用程序）could help. Dr. Fishman has released an app called the Text Neck Indicator App, which measures the angle of your smartpphone. When the angle is appropriate, a green light appears in the upper corner of your screen. But when the angle puts you at risk for neck strain, the light turns red, obliging you to adjust your angle.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.More and more shoppers are buying things online these days, allowing them to avoid 51 salespeople and long lines at checkout counters. In spite of online convenience, 52 , there are some items — like clothes — that customers prefer to 53 before buying. In light of this, two companies are finding ways to modernize stores and 54 the gap between online and in-store retail (零售).A software company that also happens to sell designer jeans, Hointer has created a fast and painless shopping 55 for its customers.Shoppers walk into a Hointer store and select one of the many pairs of jeans 56 down from bars. Then they point their smartphones at the tag and 57 the Hointer app, after which they select the size and press “try on.” The app then directs them to a specific dressing room. German-made robots bring out the 58 jeans and deliver them through a chute (斜槽) to the dressing room in about 30 seconds. Immediately after 59 pairs of jeans are dropped through another chute, the “outbox,” they disappear from the list in the app.Purchases at Hointer are made with a swipe (刷卡) of a credit card. And interacting with a salesperson is optional! This allows Hointer to hire fewer people and focus on their ultimate goal:developing 60 that supports a retail revolution.Men’s clothing retailer Bonobos has 61 a more personalized shopping experience. Although it is —in fact —an online retailer, Bonobos has decided to open a handful of brick-and-mortar stores called Guideshops. Shoppers make a(n) 62 online before arriving at a Guideshop, where they receive one-on-one 63 from a fitting guide. Because these shops have limited inventories (存货), shoppers aren’t able to take home the outfits they select. But guides help shoppers make online purchases before they leave, after which the items will be 64 to customers in one or two days.While Hointer focuses on convenience, Bonobos Guideshops focus on customer service. But both efforts have one thing 65 : giving clothing retailers a new look for the 21st century.51. A. respectable B. considerate C. aggressive D. violent52.
