11．Imagine someone has crossed the seas joining five continents by swimming．It is a major success for anyone．But it is an even greater success for Philippe Croizon，who has no arms，and no legs!His achievements show that we can all achieve great things-no matter who we are．
Philippe Croizon was 26years old when he had an accident．The doctors had to remove both of his arms and legs．"When they cut off my last leg I wanted to die．I suffered great depression and my spirit was as low as you can get．But you have to choose-and I chose to live!"said Croizon．
While he was recovering in hospital，Croizon saw a television programme about a woman who had been swimming across the English Channel．After watching the programme Croizon decided to do it．He began to exercise every day to make him strong and it took him two years to prepare．
Finally in 2010，Croizon was ready．He entered the cold，grey sea of the English Channel．He was now 42years old．It took him from early morning until night to swim the distance．He felt a lot of pain．But he had become the first person without arms and legs to swim between France and England．Croizon had achieved his dream，but he did not stop there．He looked for a new goal．
Early in 2012he planned to swim across the seas that join five major continents．During the next few months he swam between the four continents of Australia，Asia，Africa and Europe and finally in the cold waters of the Bering Strait between the continents of Asia and the Americas．
"We want to show people something．If disabled people have courage and a lot of training they can do the same things as those who are not disabled，"said Croizon．

解答 26．B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段的"PhilippeCroizon was 26 years old when he had an accident．The doctors had to removeboth of his arms and legs．"可知Croizon在26歲時(shí)因?yàn)橐粓?chǎng)事故而失去了胳膊和腿，所以這次事故讓他遭受了很多痛苦． 故選B．
27．D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第三段的"He began toexercise every day to make him strong and it took him two years to prepare．"可知，他為了這次橫渡準(zhǔn)備了兩年．所以他準(zhǔn)備了很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間．故選D．
28．B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的"During thenext few months he swam between the four continents of Australia，Asia，Africaand Europe and finally in the cold waters of the Bering Strait between thecontinents of Asia and the Americas．"可知，Croizon 最后是在亞洲和美洲大陸之間的白令海峽結(jié)束了自己的旅程．故選B．
29．B 推理判斷題．Croizon雖然身陷殘疾，但是他堅(jiān)持不放棄生活的希望，堅(jiān)持鍛煉自己并不斷追求自我挑戰(zhàn)的目標(biāo)，最終成功橫渡英吉利海峽．所以是Wherethere's a will，there's a way．有志者，事竟成．故選B．
30．D 主旨大意題．文章講述了一個(gè)名為Croizon的人雖然殘疾但是仍然堅(jiān)持游泳渡海的故事，他的事跡很具有激勵(lì)意義．故選D．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是新聞報(bào)道類閱讀，主要考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題和推理判斷題．在做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)，首先根據(jù)題目要求迅速在文章里找出相應(yīng)的段落、句子或短語．認(rèn)真比較選項(xiàng)和文中細(xì)節(jié)的區(qū)別，在做推理判斷題時(shí)不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí)，要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．

2．Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street？Perhaps they were busy talking，texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them．As the number of this new"species"of human has kept rising，they have been given a new name-phubbers（低頭族）．
Recently，a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight．In the short film，phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones．A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die，a pretty woman takes selfie（自拍） in front of a car accident site，and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone．A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of theworld．
Although the ending sounds overstated，the damage phubbing can bring is real．
Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it．"Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck，"Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying．"the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching．"Also，staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually，according to the report．
But that's not all．Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family．At reunions with family or friends，many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere，Qilu Evening News reported．
It can also cost you your life．There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death，suffered accidents，and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight．

28．For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Para.2？B
A．To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients．
B．To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing．
C．To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers．
D．To advertise the cartoon made by students．
29．Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have？A
A．He will cause the destruction of the world．
B．His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed．
C．He might get separated from his friends and family．
D．His social skills could be affected．
30．Which of the following may be the author's attitude towards phubbing？B
A．Supportive．
B．Optimistic．
C．Opposed．
D．Objective．
31．What may the passage talk about next？D
A．Advice on how to use a cell phone．
B．People addicted to phubbing．
C．Consequences of phubbing．
D．Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing．

19．Nowadays more and more traditional businessmen feel worried that growing e-commerce will decrease their share of the market．
     According to a survey，90% of some people's purchases are made on the computer．As they find that by being able to go shopping online and choose the things that they need，and have them delivered right to their doorsteps，they could no longer be bothered with driving，the crowds，the noise of that，and they usually get a better selection．But sometimes they are cheated only to get the things they hate．
     Cornell University Marketing Professor Edward McLaughlin says traditional stores can keep their customers by offering goods  like clothing，which customers may want to see and try on before purchasing，as well as items that are difficult to transport．He says some traditional stores are also pleasing pleasing customers with services such as setting up or repairing computers and other electronic  equipment．
     Traditional stores also offer social experiences that some shoppers enjoy．There is still a lot of emotion in the buying decision that takes place．Oftentimes，you need that last sense of"this is exactly what I want"before you part with money．And you can't al-ways get that online．It's a rather cold process．
      As more and more people have Internet access and smart phones，online commerce is likely to continue its growth here in the United States and in other countries．

A．people like to have their goods taken good care of

16．A new study says one part of the human brain may become smaller as the result of a condition known as jet lag．Jet lag results from flying long distances in an airplane．Jet lag interferes with a person's normal times for sleeping and waking．People with jet lag may feel extremely tired for several days．They also may have problems thinking clearly and remembering．
Kwangwook Cho is a researcher at the University of Bristol in Britain．He reported the findings of his jet lag study in the publication Nature Neuroscience．
The study involved twenty young women who worked for international airlines．The women had served passengers on airplanes for five years．These flight attendants flew across many countries and at least seven time zones．In the study，the flight attendants had different amounts of time to recover from jet lag．Half the women spent five days or fewer in their home areas between long flights．The other half spent more than fourteen days in their home areas．
Mister Cho took some fluid from the women's mouths to measure levels of a hormone that increases during stress．He tested them to see if they could remember where black spots appeared on a computer screen．And he took pictures of their brains using magnetic resonance imaging．This is a way to measure the size of the brain's temporal lobes（顳葉）．
It was found that the women who had less time between flights had smaller right temporal lobes．This area of the brain deals with recognizing and remembering what is seen．The same group performed worse and had slower reaction times on the visual memory test．And their saliva samples showed higher levels of stress hormones．
Mister Cho says he believes the brain needs at least ten days to recover after a long trip．He says airline workers told him their ability to remember got worse after working on planes for about four years．Other studies have shown that increased feelings of stress can cause a loss of cells in the part of the brain that controls memory．
Scientists say more tests are needed to study the effects of jet lag on the brain．They want to find out if too much jet lag could permanently affect memory．
72．According to the text，jet lagD．
A．can cause difficulties in speaking
B．can make people feel tired for a few weeks
C．is the illness only found in people who work on the airplanes
D．can be caused by flying over several time zones in an airplane
73．It is inferred that more tests need to be done becauseC．
A．the conclusion was questioned by many scientists
B．scientists fear that his research is not done properly
C．every scientific conclusion needs the support from many tests
D．the woman who were studied in the research were not healthy
74．Which of the following statements is TRUE about the research results？A
A．Women who have a longer rest at home show better memory．
B．Women who fly in short time had smaller right temporal lobes．
C．Women who have longer flights failed the memory test．
D．Women who rest more than 14 days produced less hormones．
75．What is the subject discussed in the test？C
A．The cause of jet lag．
B．A story of a group of flight attendance．
C．A research about the effects of jet lag on the brain．
D．The importance of having enough rest after long flights．

3．Blind photography sounds strange．But a striking exhibition of photographs in California argues that it develops as a result of the contemporary art．The show"Sight Unseen"，at the California Museum of Photography until Aug．29，includes everything：underwater scenes，landscapes，abstracts and everything else you might expect from a"sighted"photographer．
    How do the blind take their photographs？Some rely on assistants to set up and then describe the shots （鏡頭），and others just point and shoot in the right place．"Just like any good artists，"says McCulloh．"They have their unique ways of operating．"One participating photographer is Pete Eckert，an artist with multiple degrees in design and sculpture who only turned to photography after losing his vision in the mid-1990s．He opens the shutter （快門） on his camera and then uses flashlights，lights，and candies to paint his scene on film．A former fashion photographer in Chicago，Weston，lost his vision due to AIDS in 1996 and focuses on images of destruction and disability．His photos are also a star of the show．
    What do gallery-goers say？"I was very impressed by it．The technique and experience was amazingly different，"says John Hesketh，a printmaker in Anaheim．"You never have a sense of feeling sorry for these people because they've worked very hard to prove their value．"
    Beyond the praise，however，the exhibition also makes a great example for disabled people everywhere．That point was explained in early May during a discussion on the TV show．At the very end of the talk，one attendee expressed his opinion．"This exhibition is extraordinary and revolutionary for many reasons．I think that by being an artist with a disability，you are continuing the work of those people who fought for basic civil rights to gain access and to have a voice．In that way，it's so wonderful that your photographs say it all．"
63．From the passage we know that some blind people take photos byB
A．describing the things to their assistants
B．holding the camera and shooting randomly
C．opening the shutter with the help of others
D．using special equipment designed for them
64．We can learn from the passage that blind photographersC
A．were not born blind
B．do jobs related to art
C．focus on different subjects
D．like photos of destruction
65．What is people's reaction to the blind photography show？A
A．They admire the blind photographers'hard work．
B．They feel really sorry for those blind photographers．
C．They think some have good techniques while others not．
D．They can understand （lie real meaning of each photograph．
66．The significance of the exhibition lies in the fact thatD．
A．the California Museum of Photography receives praises for holding the show
B．the public have a chance to know what the blind people are concerned about
C．the blind photographers have a good place to show their works
D．the exhibition can be very inspiring to the blind in the world．

1．When kids hit puberty（青春期），their bodies and minds go through tons of changes，including the larynx，the voice box in the throat．The larynx is what gives you your voice．You can find your larynx by touching the front of your throat and humming．When you feel vibrations（震動(dòng)） under your fingers，you've found it!
When the larynx grows larger during puberty，it sticks out at the front of the throat．This is what's called an Adam's apple．Everyone's larynx grows during puberty，but a girl's larynx doesn't grow as much as a boy's does．That's why boys have Adam's apples．Most girls don't have Adam's apples，but some do．
But why is it called an Adam's apple？If you think it's called that after the story of the Garden of Eden where Adam ate a piece of the forbidden fruit that got stuck in his throat，you're right．An Adam's apple sometimes looks like a small，rounded apple just under the skin in the front of the throat．
This larger larynx also gives boys deeper voices．Actually，girls'voices get a little bit deeper as their larynxes get larger，too．But because boys'larynxes grow so much more，it makes their voices deeper than girls'voices．
The larynx doesn't grow to its new size overnight，though．If you've ever heard a teenage boy's voice sound squeaky（發(fā)短促尖叫聲的），you've heard a larynx trying to get adjusted to its new size!
28．Who has Adam's apples after puberty？D
A．All kids．
B．Most girls．
C．Most boys．
D．Boys．
29．What makes a person's voice deeper？A
A．The size of the larynx．
B．The length of puberty．
C．The amount of body changes．
D．The shape of one's throat．
30．Which of the following is true about the larynx？B
A．The larynx comes after Adam's apples．
B．The larynx grows gradually in one's teens．
C．The larynx grows the moment a person is born．
D．The larynx is a piece of apple stuck in the throat．
31．What's mainly talked about in the text？B
A．Where an Adam's apple exists．
B．What an Adam's apple is．
C．When teenagers have their puberty．
D．How squeaky a teenage boy's voice sounds．
