14.It's Time to Put it Away
Your smart phone may have hurt you before you realize it.Don't be addicted to it.Put your phone away,OK?
1.Cyber Sickness
Also called"digital motion sickness",symptoms that range from headaches to woozy feelings can occur when you quickly scroll on your smart phone or watch action packed video on your screen.36.Your sense of balance is different from other senses in that it has lots of inputs.When those inputs don't agree,that's when you feel dizziness and sickness.
2.Text Claw
It is the unofficial term for soreness and muscle contraction felt in the finger,wrist and forearm after heavy smart phone use.(37)F.So if you're always on your phone,it makes sense to feel discomfort in your hands and forearms.
3.Eye Strain
Do you stare at a screen for hours on end?If you're reading this,you very well might.(38)G. Staring at your digital devices for a long time can lead to dry eyes,headaches and tiredness,which can decrease your productivity.Exper ts suggest taking screen breaks every 20 minutes.
4.Text Neck
Similar to the claw,text neck---discomfort in the neck and spine happens when you spend a long time looking down at your smart phone.(39)D.Being mindful of how far your neck bends when you're on your phone----and bending it back to an upright position can help reduce the risk of text neck.
5.Pedestrian safety
Pedestrian deaths are on the rise because too many smart phone users engage in distracted walking.While focused on the cyber world,many of us can lose reality of the physical one.Elemental pedestrian safety knowledge is compromised by technology,and the risks are scary.(40)E.
A.We should taking breaks for a while.
B.The sensation results from a mismatch between sensory inputs.
C.Remember that pedestrian safety is more important than smart phone.
D.The habit may lead to people requiring medical spine care at a younger age.
E.To avoid injury or worse,put your phone away until you've reached a safe spot.
F.Any specific motor activity can cause pain in the tendons (筋) and muscles when done repeatedly.
G.Any activity that requires active use of your eyes---driving and reading included---can cause eye tiredness.

解答 36.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)后文"Your sense of balance is different from other senses in that it has lots of inputs",你的平衡感是不同于其他的感官,它有很多的輸入,兩句都在講input因此應(yīng)為感覺與輸入信息不匹配造成人體不適;故選B.
37.F.推理判斷題.根據(jù)后文"So if you're always on your phone,it makes sense to feel discomfort in your hands and forearms",所以,如果你總是看你的手機,它就在你的手和前臂感到不適和when done repeatedly重復(fù)性的肌肉運動會造成手部不適相符;故選F.
38.G.推理判斷題.根據(jù)后文"Staring at your digital devices for a long time can lead to dry eyes",盯著你的數(shù)碼設(shè)備長時間會導(dǎo)致眼睛干澀、頭痛和疲勞,因此為任何需要積極使用你的眼睛的活動--包括駕駛和閱讀都會引起眼睛疲勞;故選G.
39.D.推理判斷題.根據(jù)后文"and bending it back to an upright position can help reduce the risk of text neck",并將其彎曲到一個直立的位置可以幫助減少文本頸部的風(fēng)險可知會導(dǎo)致年紀輕輕就需要醫(yī)療脊柱護理;故選D.
40.E.推理判斷題.根據(jù)本段的中心詞safety以及本段"Pedestrian deaths are on the rise because too many smart phone users engage in distracted walking",行人死亡人數(shù)的上升,是因為太多的智能手機用戶從事分散的步行,而專注于網(wǎng)絡(luò)世界;故選E.

點評 考察學(xué)生的推理判斷能力和聯(lián)系上下文的能力,在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.此類的填空題一定要聯(lián)系上下文,根據(jù)上下文的內(nèi)容加上自己的理解,再作出正確的判斷.

1.Here are some tips for applying to US colleges.
Why are American universities so expensive?
First of all,I'll say that American education is expensive for Americans but you're getting a high-quality education from some of the best professors in the world with some of the best resources and facilities in the world.American universities have state-of-the-art laboratories,computers,research systems,classrooms and all that is expensive.And also at many U.S.universities,you're learning from leading researchers and people who are at the top of the line in their field so it's also expensive for universities to have those people as professors.So,you're paying for a quality product-that's why it's very expensive.
What kind of financial aid is available?
It really depends on the university what kind of financial aid is available.There are a lot of opportunities out there for international students.There are some universities that have merit-based scholarships.Many have scholarships in general for international students.There are athletic scholarships,scholarships based on a specific talent.
Are school rankings important?
I know that rankings matter to a lot of parents and students worldwide,but here in the U.S.we pay very little attention to rankings.The rankings that are produced are actually the opinion of several different magazines.The official government doesn't have a universal ranking system.With that said,we know that for many families abroad and outside the United States,rankings are very important.So as a university,we try to make that information available so that students can see our rankings.
How can I prepare for the visa interview?
As long as you are a genuine student,it's likely that you will receive your visa.When you go for the interview they're looking for generally three things.
One,of course,when you go into that visa interview,you should really know things about the university that you're going to,why you're going there,why you want to study,what you want to study-that's how you show that you're a genuine student.
The second thing that they're looking for is to be sure that you have the finances to cover your educational program.You'll have to submit the same bank documentation you used in order to get your I-20to the U.S.Embassy as part of your interview to prove that you are able to pay for your education in the U.S.
The next thing that they're mainly looking for is to be sure that you're a legitimate student and that you're not looking to move to the United States,that you have a reason to return to your home country,prospective employment.

46.The passage mainly talks about some tips for applying to US colleges exceptA.
A.high-quality education 
B.financial aid
C.school rankings                                                              
D.visa interview
47.Why are American universities so expensiveB?
A.Because there are so many international students aims at applying to US colleges.
B.Because Americans are getting a high-quality education.
C.Because state-of-the-art laboratories,computers,research systems,classrooms are
all expensive.
D.Because leading researchers and top professors are expensive for universities
48.What kind of financial aid is availableD?
A.merit-based scholarships
B.a(chǎn)thletic scholarships
C.scholarships based on a specific talent.
D.It depends on the university
49.Why do American universities try to make the school rankings availableC?
A.Rankings matter to a lot of parents and students in the U.S.
B.They want to let students get whole information so that they can see their rankings clear.
C.Many families abroad and outside the United States pay great attention to school rankings
D.The rankings that are produced are actually the opinion of several different magazines.
50.Which of the following statement is trueD?
A.American universities have the best professors in the world.
B.Universities have merit-based scholarships for every international student.

5.Adding math talk to story time at home is a winning equation for children's math achievement,according to a new research from the University of Chicago.The study from psychologists Sian Beilock and Susan Levine shows a marked increase in math achievement among children whose families used Bedtime Math,an iPad app that delivers engaging math story problems for parents and children to solve together.
  Even children who used the app with their parents as little as once a week saw gains in math achievement by the end of the school year.The app's effect was especially strong for children whose parents tend to be anxious or uncomfortable with math.
Previous research from this group has demonstrated the importance of adults'attitudes about math for children's math success.For example,a recent study found that math-anxious parents who help their children with math homework actually weaken their children's math achievement.
  The new findings demonstrate that structured,positive interactions around math at home can cut the link between parents'uneasiness about math and children's low math achievement.
"Many Americans experience high levels of anxiety when they have to solve a math problem,with a majority of adults feeling at least some worries about math,"said Beilock,professor in Psychology and author of Choke,a book about stress and performance."These math-anxious parents are probably less likely to talk about math at home,which affects how competent their children are in math.Bedtime Math encourages a dialogue between parents and kids about math,and offers a way to engage in high-quality math interactions in a low-effort,high-impact way."
  Study participants included 587 first-grade students and their parents.Families were given an iPad installed with a version of the Bedtime Math app,with which parents and their children read stories and answer questions involving math,including topics like counting,shapes and problem-solving.A control group received a reading app that had similar stories without the math content and questions related to reading comprehension instead.Children's math achievement was assessed at the beginning and end of the school year.Parents completed a questionnaire about their nervousness with math.
  The more times parents and children in the math group used the app,the higher children's achievement on a math assessment at the end of the school year.Indeed,children who frequently used the math app with their parents outperformed similar students in the reading group by almost three months in math achievement at year's end.

74.Bedtime Math is an iPad app thatD.
A.requires parents and children to answer reading comprehension questions
B.a(chǎn)ssesses children's math achievement and parents'nervousness with math
C.teaches children how to count,recognize shapes and solve practical problems
D.encourages children together with their parents to solve math story problems
75.The previous study found thatB.
A.help from math-anxious parents improves children's math achievement
B.children'math achievement is related to parents'attitude about math
C.interactions around math at home will cut off the family relationship
D.children can achieve more success if they see the importance of math
76.We can infer from the passage thatC.
A.children using app for three months can see gains in math achievement
B.children whose parents are uneasy about math outperform other students
C.it is the math problems related to the stories that make the great difference 
D.the frequency of using the app has nothing to do with children's achievement.
77.Which is the best title for the passage?A
A.High-quality math interactions improve performance.
B.Frequent use of app can develop problem solving ability.
C.Low-effort activities create good parent-child relationship.
D.High-anxiety parents influence children's attitude about math.

19.I was desperately nervous about becoming car-free.But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed.No problem,I thought:we'll buy another.But the insurance payout didn't even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car-I worked out that,with the loan (貸款) we'd need plus petrol,insurance,parking permits and tax,we would make a payment as much as£600a month.
And that's when I had my fancy idea.Why not just give up having a car at all?I live in London.We have a railway station behind our house,a tube station 10minutes'walk away,and a bus stop at the end of the street.A new car club had just opened in our area,and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby.If any family in Britain could live without a car,I reasoned,then surely we were that family.
But my new car-free idea,sadly,wasn't shared by my family.My teenage daughters were horrified.What would their friends think about our family being"too poor to afford a car"?(I wasn't that bothered what they thought,and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)
My friends,too,were astonished at our plan.What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital?(an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events?(buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas,before saying they were sure I'd soon realize that a car was a necessity.
Eight months on,I wonder whether we'll ever own a car again.The idea that you"have to"own a car,especially if you live in a city,is all in the mind.I live-and many other citizens do too-in a place that has never been better served by public transport,and yet car ownership has never been higher.We worry about rising car costs,but we'd be better off asking something much more basic:do I really need a car?Certainly the answer is no,and I'm a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.

59.The author decided to live a car-free life partly becauseC.
A.most families chose to go car-free
B.he was hurt in a terrible car accident
C.the cost of a new car was too much
D.the traffic jam was unbearable for him
60.What is the attitude of the author's family toward his plan?B
A.Supportive.
B.Disapproving.
C.Optimistic.
D.Unconcerned.
61.What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends'opinion?D
A.Argue against it.
B.Take their advice.
C.Think it over.
D.Leave it alone.
62.What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?C
A.Life cannot go without a car.
B.Life without a car is a little bit hard.
C.His life gets improved without a car.
D.A car-free life does not suit everyone.

17.American Way of Life
Throughout their history,Americans have been people on the move.The early immigrants had to travel to get to the New World.Once they arrived,they settled along the East Coast.But they weren't content to stay there.(71)C Later,settlers moved west to develop these new areas.As a result of this westward migration,Americans eventually occupied the whole continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific.Even today,Americans seem unable to stay in one place.Research says that the average American
moves every five years.
Besides their habit of changing addresses,Americans are used to traveling.Some people go to work daily in long-distance places.(72)FMost companies provide an annual vacation for their employees,and people often use that time to travel.Some people just visit friends or relatives in distant states.Others go on low-budget weekend outings and stay in economy motels.Those with more expensive tastes choose fancy resorts and hotels.(73)GSome travel in vehicles to camp out in comfort while others"rough it"by sleeping in tents.
(74)BWhy?For one thing,it's cheaper than traveling abroad and there's no language problem.Besides,America offers plenty of tourist attractions._75_ Nature lovers can enjoy beaches,mountains,canyons,lakes and a wealth of natural wonders.As it is,the convenience of modern freeways,railways and airplanes makes travel in America as easy as pie.

18.Old people are easy to feel lonely because their children are busy with their work and have little time to spend with them.Most of them have to be companied by pet dogs.However,it is sometimes impossible for some old people to keep pet dogs because they are too old or ill to take care of pet dogs.
Experts are studying the influence of robotic dogs on old people's depression(憂郁癥),physical activity,and life satisfaction.Researchers are placing robotic dogs in the homes of lonely old people to see whether they can improve the quality of life for old people.Alan Beck,an expert in human-animal relationship,said,"Old people should be more active,challenged,excited.The problem is how we promote that,especially for those without friends or help.A robotic dog could be a solution."
In the study,the robot,called AIBO,is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone.These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activities before and after AIBO.Researchers will collect basic data for six weeks.Then,the researchers will review the data to decide if there are any changes in the life of its owner.
"I talk to him all the time,and he responds to my voice,"says a 70-year-old lady."When I'm watching TV,he'll stay in my arms until he wants down.He has a mind of his own."
The AIBOs respond to certain orders.The researchers say they have some advantages over real dogs,especially for old people.Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it.A robotic dog needn't any exercise and feeding concerns.
"At the beginning,it was believed that no one would prefer the robotic dog because it was metal and not furry (毛茸茸的),"Beck says."But it's amazing how quickly we have given up that belief."
Hopefully,these robotic pets could become a more valuable health helper.They will record their masters'blood pressure,oxygen levels,or heart rhythms.AIBOs may even one day have games that can help exciting older people's minds.
63.From the passage we can learn that old people can easily feel lonely becauseC.
 A.their children don't like to stay with them
B.they don't have pet dogs
C.their children are too busy to stay with them
D.they don't have robotic dogs
64.The underlined word"note"in the third paragraph means"C".
A.to give notice   B.to pay attention   C.to write down   D.to talk about
65.The author may believe that the future robotic dogs canB.
A.help excit old people's minds   
B.take the place of real dogs
C.cure a lot of serious diseases   
D.change people's beliefs
66.Which is the best title for the passage?B
A.Pet Dogs Need Robotic Dogs   
B.Old People Need Robotic Dogs
C.All People Need Robotic Dogs   
D.Researchers Need Robotic Dogs.
