       One day I woke up and smelled fire. I got back and ran out of the

apartment immediate. Outside I see a woman in the second-floor

window holding out a newborn baby. He asked me to catch. Without

the second thought, I rushed over and held out my arms. After I knew

it, the baby had landed in my arms. I was so much happy that it was

fine. The mother had to jump out of the window, either. Later, she

thanked me for save her baby. It felt greatly to be a good neighbor.

In January, British actor Eddie Redmayne made headlines around the world as he became the latest member of smartphone refuser. “It was a reaction against being glued permanently to my iPhone during waking hours,” he explained, turning instead to an old-fashioned “dumb phone” handset that could only make and take calls.

    He is not alone. There is a small but busy market for phones that are simple and cheap at a time when smartphones are becoming ever more complex and expensive. Basic phones — handsets with some basic functions such as playing music and accessing the Internet — are gradually being replaced by low cost smartphones, according to Francisco Jeronimo, research director for European mobile devices at IDC, the research group. But there is still a significant demand for older-style phones.

Strategy Analytics, a research group, estimates that 44,000,000 basic phones were sold in 2015, accounting for 2 percent of the global market. Some phonemakers, such as Sony and LG, have already turned their back on the market. But others like Microsoft and Samsung are still producing devices every year aimed at the basic phone market.

Many smartphone users beef about having to buy devices that are easily broken, require daily recharging and which will be replaced by a new, better version within a year. Even basic smartphones offer more functions that not many people need.

Some users buy phones with limited or no Internet connections in a conscious attempt to keep away from the modern digital world. Analysts say that there is a growing number of “second phoneys” who use an expensive smartphone during the day, but turn to cheaper, pocket-sized devices when they go out in the evening.

Light Phone founder Joe Hollier falls into this camp. He has developed a credit card-sized phone without a data connection and no extra functions other than to make calls. He describes a feeling of huge relief when the ability to check emails or status updates is removed. Light Phone functions as a companion device to a smartphone but Mr Hollier hopes it will also encourage people to unplug from the modern Internet world.

32. What is the function of paragraph 1?

   A. To lead to the topic.                    B. To summarize the whole passage.

   C. To analyze the situation of phone usage.   D. To deepen the theme.

33. The expression “beef about” may be replaced by “________” in the passage.[KS5UKS5U]

   A. care about      B. approve of       C. complain of       D. think over

34. Joe Hollier developed the new card-sized phone to ________.

   A. save money     B. relax the mind    C. save time         D. keep healthy

35. What is the main idea of this passage?

   A. Some people prefer basic phones to smart phones.

   B. What are the functions of basic phones.

   C. The old-fashioned phones have many advantages.

   D. The future of smartphones is gloomy.

The plan was that the two companies should first reach an agreement on the basic principle, the details    

later.

A young woman sits alone in a café drinking tea and reading a book. She pauses briefly to write in a nearby notepad before showing her words to a passing waiter: “Where are the toilets please?” This is a familiar scene in Tokyo’s so-called “silent cafes”, spaces which appear at first glance to be conventional café but where customers are not allowed to produce sounds, communicating instead by writing in notepads.

The concept is becoming more and more popular due to rising desires among young Japanese to be alone, a situation fuelled by economic uncertainty, a shift in traditional family support structures and growing social isolation. The phenomenon is not confined (限制) to coffee shops but covers everything from silent discos, where participants dance alone wearing wireless headphones connected to the DJ, to products such as small desk tents designed for conversation-free privacy in the office. The trend has its own media expression “botchi-zoku”, referring to individuals who consciously choose to do things completely on their own.

One recent weekday afternoon, Chihiro Higashikokubaru, a 23-year-old nurse, traveled 90 minutes from her home to a silent café in Tokyo on her day off in order to enjoy some time alone. At the entrance of the café, Miss Higashikokubaru said quietly, “I heard about this place in magazines, and I like the idea of coming here. I work as a nurse and it’s always very busy. There are very few quiet places in Tokyo. It’s a big busy city. I just wanted to come and sit somewhere quietly on my own. I’m going to drink a cup of tea and maybe do some drawings.”

While visitors may be banned from talking, electronic devices such as phones (without speaking) are generally permitted, reflecting how the concept is as much about avoiding the stresses of human interaction as switching off.

The desire to be alone is not a new concept in Japan, a nation with about 3.6 million “hikikomori”—a more extreme example of social recluses (隐居者) who withdraw completely from society.

32. According to Paragraph 1, why does the young woman write in a notepad?

A. Because she doesn’t like the waiter.       B. Because the waiter cannot hear her.

C. Because she is not allowed to speak.      D. Because the waiter needs her handwriting.

33. What does the underlined part “The trend” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. People like dancing together.             B. People want to do things alone.

C. People like to use wireless headphones.   D. People often use popular media expressions.

34. We can know from the text that many Japanese _________.

A. enjoy reading     B. prefer coffee to tea    C. trend to avoid others   D. like electronic devices

35. The author writes the text mainly __________.

A. to advertise    B. to introduce       C. to persuade      D. to encourage

One night recently, I was driving down a two-lane highway at about 60 miles an hour．A car approached from the opposite direction at about the same speed. As we passed each other, I caught the other driver’s eye for only a second .I wondered whether he might be drinking as I was．How dependent we were on each other at that moment .I was relying on him not to fall asleep, not to be put off by a phone conversation, not to cross over into my lane and bring my life to a sudden end. Though we had never spoken a word to each other，he relied on me in just the same way.

Multiplied a million times over，I believe that is the way the world works. At some level，we all depend on one another. Sometimes that dependence requires us simply not to do something like crossing over the double yellow line. And sometimes it requires us to act cooperatively, with friends or even with strangers.

As technology shrinks our world，the need increases for cooperative action among nations. In 2003, doctors in five nations were quickly organized to identify the SARS virus，which saved thousands of lives. The threat of international terrorism has shown itself to be a similar problem，one requiring team action by police and intelligence forces across the world. We must recognize that our fates are not ours alone to control.

In my own life, I’ve put great stock in personal responsibility. But, as time has passed, I’ ve also come to believe that there are moments when one must rely upon the good faith and judgment of others．So, while each of us faces the case of driving alone down a dark road，what we must learn is that the approaching light may not be a threat, but a shared moment of trust.

29．Why did the author say they depended on each other in the same way?

A．Because the approaching car was very dangerous

B．Because they both drove their car at a terrific speed

C．Because he might be killed out of the other’s careless driving

D．Because it was dark and the road was not wide enough

30．The author considers it very important_____________

A．to drive with a company                 B．to have personal independence

C．to gain certain responsibility            D．to share trust and cooperation   

31．From the second paragraph we know the author drew the important lesson from_______

A．only one experience         B．many similar experiences

C．a driver on a dark road      D．many friends and strangers

32．What do the underlined words“put great stock in ” in the last paragraph most probably mean?

A．to have little trust in          B．to feel good about    C．to lose faith in      D．to have belief in

 _______ a good result, the professor decided to do the experiment once more.

   A. Not getting             B. Getting not       C. Not having got     D. Having not got

Welcome to your future life!

You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging(抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age !

You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change your clothes’ color or pattern.

You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says, “You shouldn’t drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk , and it knows the milk is old . In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.

It’s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve(袖子). Such “smart technology” is all around you.

So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed,” says scientist Andrew Zolli , “it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one example --what will be the next?

33．We can learn from the text that in the future__________.

A. people will never get old

B. everyone will look the same

C. red will be the most popular color

D. clothes will be able to change their pattern

A. Milk will be harmful to health.

B. More drinks will be available for sale.

C. Food in the grocery store will carry electronic information.

D. Milk in the grocery store will stay fresh much longer.

35．What is the text mainly about?

A. Food and clothing in 2035.

B. Future technology in everyday life.

C. Medical treatments of the future.

D. The reason for the success of new technology.

I was successful at my job. It was not easy, but it   41   me and my family a wonderful lifestyle. I’d worked for the same company for twenty years.   42  , one afternoon last May, I was called to the office, and it was   43   explained to me that they were letting me go. I just sat there   44   they talked on and all I could think was, “I’ve   45  .” I’d been so well respected;   46   I was of no value.

For six weeks, I was in a very   47   place. I wandered around my house like a zombie（僵尸）. I could    48   things needed doing, but would not do anything. My beliefs in looking forward and seeing the positive in everything   49   me.

Then, in late June, my youngest son’s football team made the city cup final. The year before, he’d been very sad when I   50   the same final, so he was   51   when I told him I’d go. Not only did they win, but the look on his face as he saw me   52   him on was unbelievable.

My life had been so much devoted to    55   for so long, and I felt   56   that my sons were happy to welcome me into their world.

  57  , being unemployed gave me back a sense of purpose — I was someone’s mum! I felt a sense of being    58   again. Now I feel more positive about my professional   59   and I’m getting on better with my family than I ever have. Losing my job has made me realize just how   60   it is to achieve real balance in life.

  The oceans are unique to our planet. No other planet in our solar system has liquid water. The oceans cover about 70% of the earth's surface.  They contain about 97% of the earth's water supply. Life on earth originated in the seas. The oceans continue to be home to an incredible number of plants and animals.

  We know very little about the oceans. Because they are so deep and dark, they are hard to study. But scientists are discovering new strange creatures all the time. We are learning more by using satellites to look at the oceans' surfaces and by using buoys (航标 ) to measure temperature and saltiness. Special vehicles can now travel deep into the dark oceans to see what mysteries can be discovered.

  More of the sun's heat is assimilated by water along the equator than at the poles. This means the water at the equator is warmer than water at the poles. These different water temperatures cause the water in the oceans to move. This is called an ocean current.

  The air above ocean currents also moves. The warm or cold ocean air moves over the land as wind. Oceans are also a really important part of the water cycle. Evaporation（蒸发） from oceans creates most of the world's rainfall. Plants on land need the rain to absorb nutrients from the soil.

  The oceans are also home to all kinds of sea life. These include fish, whales, dolphins, octopi, lobsters, crabs and shrimps. There are also jellyfish and starfish.Many kinds of plants, such as plankton, kelp and sea grass are part of the "forest of the seafloor."

Carbon dioxide in-oxygen out! Oceans help to capture and store carbon dioxide(C02). They are the largest natural "carbon sinks" in the world. Oceans trap about1/4of the CO2 that humans put into the air. Oceans also release oxygen. Half of the world's oxygen is produced by these tiny plants!

32.What does the author think of oceans?

A. They are amazing.     B. They are common.

C. They are boundless.    D. They are unimaginable.

33.What does the underlined word "assimilated" mean in the passage?

A. Taken in    B. Given off.    C. Cut down.    D. Held back.

35.It can be inferred from the passage that____111]

A. oceans produce much carbon dioxide

B. it is not safe to live by the oceans

C. oceans provide humans with rich resources

D. humans can only depend on oceans for water 

IN the famous fairy tale, Snow White eats the Queen’s apple and falls victim to a curse; in Shakespeare’s novel, Romeo drinks the poison and dies; some ancient Chinese emperors took pills that contained mercury, believing that it would make them immortal, but they died afterward.
   Poison has long been an important ingredient in literature and history, and it seems to always be associated with evil, danger and death. But how much do you really know about poison?
   An exhibition, The Power of Poison, opened last month at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, intended to give the audience a more vivid understanding of poison. The exhibition will continue until Aug 2014, reported The New York Times.
   The museum tour starts in a rainforest setting, where you can see live examples of some of the most poisonous animals: caterpillars, frogs and spiders. Golden poison frogs, for instance, aren’t much bigger than a coin, but their skin is covered in a poison that can cut off the signaling power of your nerves, and a single frog has enough venom to kill 10 grown humans.
   The exhibition also features interactive activities. In an iPad-based game, visitors are presented with three puzzling illnesses and asked to identify the poisons based on symptoms. In one case, for example, a pet dog is found sick in a backyard and visitors have to figure out whether it was the toad (蟾蜍), the leaky batteries in the trash or the dirty pond water that did it.
   “Poisons can be bad for some things,” Michael Novacek, senior vice president of the museum, told NBC News. “Yet they can also be good for others.”
   This is what visitors learn from the last part of the exhibition, which displays how poisons can be used favorably by humans, including for medical treatment.
   The blood toxins of vampire bats, for example, can prevent blood from clotting (凝结), which may protect against strokes. A poisonous chemical found in the yew tree is effective against cancer, which is what led to the invention of a cancer-fighting drug called Taxol. One chemical in the venom of Gila monsters can lower the blood sugar of its victims, so it has been used to treat diabetes.
   The benefits from natural poisons are not limited to just medicine. Believe it or not, many substances that we regularly take in – chili, coffee and chocolate, etc. – owe their special flavors or stimulating effects to chemicals that plants make to poison insects.

68.  By mentioning Snow White and Romeo at the beginning of the story, the author intends to ____________.

A.  show that poison has long been involved in literature

B.  show that poison is always linked with evil and death
C.  draw readers’ attention to the topic of the article

D.  get readers to think of more examples of the use of poison in stories

69.  What is the main purpose of the exhibition The Power of Poison?

A.  To give people more in-depth knowledge about poison.
B.  To teach people how to handle poisonous animals.
C.  To inform people about which animals are the most poisonous.
D.  To show how poison has been used for medical treatment.

70.  Which of the following statements about the exhibition is TRUE according to the article?
A.  The exhibition will lead visitors to a real rainforest .
B.  Golden poison frogs are the most poisonous animals on display.
C.  Those who visit the exhibition can join in some iPad-based interactive games.
D.  Visitors can listen to lectures on recent studies of poisonous animals.

       That morning, I got on the train as always. I was a publishing director and was reading my newspaper   41  . But that day, I read it very   42  . I thought I must be tired. At the office, I sat down, turned on my    43   and found I couldn’t read the message on the screen.

       Eventually, worried  44   drove me to hospital. There, confirmation came that I suffered from aphasia(失语症), a condition that  45   it’s difficult or impossible to receive and produce language.

       I was back at home a week later, and my  46  was to get better and return to work in a couple of months. I started  47  a speech therapist(治疗专家) three times a week, and was given homework to help 48  my vocabulary and grammar. After a month, my own speech became   49  —“Could you pass the salt?” “Shall we go for a walk?” — but I couldn’t have a conversation. I couldn’t read the newspaper.

       For 25 years, I was used to a(n)   50   day of meetings, and bringing three manuscripts home with me each night. I didn’t feel   51   to say goodbye to my old self.

       In the darkest months, I devoted myself to  52  . I would spend hours writing a description of something   53   like a pencil. I couldn’t   54  novels or newspapers, so I tried reading poetry, and found the shorter lines easier to   55  . My speech came back, and I learned how to read again,   56   much more slowly. I spent more time with my family, and   57  myself to slow down.

       Now, 10 years later, my relationship with my   58  is deeper than ever. We have  59   to be very patient with each other. I’m no longer a high-achieving publisher or someone who  60  10 books a week. I’m a family man with aphasia, and if I read 10 books a year, that’s good.
