【題目】You may have experienced the frustration(挫敗感)of being slapped with a parking fine(罰款)or finding your car held firmly in the place after leaving it parked precariously(不安全的) for a couple of minutes. But now a high-tech car sticker that's designed to be stuck to a car’s windscreen, could help motorists avoid such a situation by allowing a traffic warden（管理員）to get in touch with them.

The TowStop sticker sends a text message to a driver when it is touched by a traffic warden, to allow motorists to send a reply and give them time to move their car immediately. It’s designed to save drivers time and money by giving them a chance to move their car instead of having it towed(拖) away but relies on the good will of traffic wardens. Frankfurt-based IT consultant(顧問), Daniel Kalliontzis, came up with the idea and is raising funds on Indiegogo to put his 54 (43) sticker into production.

Car owners can buy the sticker and place it inside their car's windscreen, having set it up with important information, such as their phone number. The message will ask them to move their car immediately .The driver could then type a reply for the warden using their smartphone, which will appear on the sticker's screen. They may choose to write something along the lines of back in two minutes in a bid to avoid a fine.

The smart sticker system will rely on the good will of traffic wardens and critically, a German law. The law states: An officer has to choose the most efficient nd inexpensive way for the car owner to remove the vehicle. It could be cheaper for the authorities to contact the driver than to tow his car.

【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph?

A. To arouse readers’ interest in the new invention.

B. To tell readers some ways of parking cars.

C. To show drivers how to avoid parking fine.

D. To disclose(揭示)how traffic wardens fine drivers.

【2】Daniel Kalliontzis came up with the idea of the slicker so that______.

A. traffic can be smooth

B. drivers can avoid being fined

C. cars can be put in safe places

D. laws can be carried out

【3】If traffic warden wants to send a text message to the driver, he should_______.

A. slap the windscreen B. strike the wheel

C. use a smartphone D. touch the sticker

【4】From the passage we know that________.

A. a German traffic warden is required to remind car owners to move their cars

B. the TowStop sticker will cost drivers much time and money

C. not many drivers will mind being fined

D. car owners must buy the stickers by law

Dear Mandy，

I'm not doing well in my lessons at school，especial in maths. My dad says I must try hard because he wants me go to university. He thinks I'm lazy，but it's not true. I work really hard，often study late into the night! I've tried to talk to my mother，but she always said I have to work as hard like my brother does. My brother doesn't study very hard，and he always gets excellent grades. It's not fair!

The only thing I like it is art. My teacher says I'm the best student she's had for year. When I told my dad，all he said was，“ You mustn’t waste your time in art. You must focus your mind on your lessons! ”

I'm feeling quite puzzling as to what to do now. Would you please help me out?

Thanks a lot!

Yours sincerely， Lisa

【題目】People who are worried about bad breath often reach for a toothbrush or a gun. But in the future, personal breath monitoring may include far more than fresh breath.

In face, breath is so rich in chemical compounds that fully understanding it has proved challenging. Each breath contains gases like carbon dioxide, the volatile(揮發(fā)性的)remains of recent snacks, medicines and even compounds taken in from things like carpeting or various kinds of air pollution. But breath detectors(檢測(cè)器) can sort out these substances with increasing sensitivity(敏感性)。

Scientists are building electronic sniffers that examine the exhaled(呼氣)air for signs of cancer, asthma(哮喘), and other diseases.

“There are clear signatures in the breath for liver(肝)disease, kidney(腎)disease and heart disease. Breath is a rich mixture that can reflect out state of health and disease.” said Dr. Raed Dweik, director of the Cleveland Clinic, adding “Breath analysis is the future of medical testing.”

He and his partners are testing a desktop system called BreathLink for use in rapid identification of diseases. The system is designed to work wherever there is an Internet connection. To use BreathLink, a person breathes into a long tube, and a breath sample is collected and analyzed within the system. Then it can detail chemical concentrations(濃度)of the breath in graphics. Dr. Raed Dweik said, “If you examine patients of asthma, you will find they have higher levels of nitric oxide(一氧化碳) in their exhaled air. It reflects their abnormal symptoms in the lungs.” His tests have reached 85 percent accuracy(精確度)so far in spotting people with some illness.

But some trained dogs, he pointed out, can sniff out cancer with 99 percent accuracy—although without the ability to identify particular compounds the way some detectors can.

“We are getting better and better,” he said. “But whether we will ever approach the accuracy of the dog—we don’t know.”

【1】What is the breath detector used for?

A. To find what kind of disease a person has.

B. To identify substances from people’s breath.

C. To help a patient recover from disease.

D. To smell how bad the breath is.

【2】In the fifth paragraph, what Dr. Raed Dwik said is meant to______.

A. show how he and his partners treated patients

B. tell why a person has asthma

C. show how sensitive the device is

D. show how to diagnose a patient of asthma

【3】It can be inferred that_______

A. brushing teeth can improve one’s bad breath

B. there are leftovers like snacks and medicines in one’s breath

C. one can know exactly about his physical state through the breath

D. breath analysis can be helpful in medical diagnosis

【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of breath detectors?

A. Indifferent B. Positive

C. Doubtful. D. Critical.

【題目】The English writer Samuel Johnson famously said, “You find no man who is willing to leave London. No, sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life, for there is in London all that life can afford.” More than two centuries have passed since Johnson’s age, but his words still ring true. Here, you’ll find the historic Tower of London and the Tate Modern both considered must-sees. Shakespeare’s sonnets（十四行詩） are still being uttered by actors. Londoners most certainly still look up to the royals, but they also rock out to Coldplay and Lily Allen. And while they still sip tea, they now drink Starbucks, too.

How to Save Money in London

Find the free attractions. Many of London’s top things to do, including the National Gallery, Hyde Park and the Portobello Road Market, are absolutely free to enjoy.

Ride the Tube. Taking taxis will add up quickly, so buy a pay-as-you-go Oyster Card and travel on London’s underground system, nicknamed the “Tube”.

Dine smart. Corridors like Brick Lane offer fantastic cultural food for bargain prices; fish and chip shops are a cheap standby and takeaway food costs less than dine-in.

London Culture & Customs

London is one of the fashion capitals of the world, and its residents tend to reflect that. Practically, pack an umbrella for the rainy days and a scarf for the cold ones. As for tipping, restaurants and cafes will usually add a 10-to-15-percent service charge to the bill. If a service charge is not allotted（指定）, it’s customary to tip the same (between 10 and 15 percent). If you’re drinking at a pub or wine bar, tipping is flexible. And in a taxicab, tip the driver to the nearest pound or about 10 percent of the cost.

London Dining

London used to be highly criticized for its heavy and common menu items. Now, London is considered as one of the most gourmet cities in the world. And with its melting pot of cultures, it’s not difficult to see why. London offers everything from modern British to Malaysian. For Indian food, we suggest visiting the curry houses on Brick Lane. If you want a real high tea experience, book reservations at the Ritz, at Fortnum & Mason, or at the Dorchester — but be sure to dress the part. Pub culture is still alive and well, so if you have a hankering for fried fish and salty chips (or French fries), you’ll still find them here. And for a quick bite, exchange a few pounds for a kebab, a quick sandwich or some to go sushi, which can be found in restaurants throughout the city.

【1】What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. Life in London is exciting but tiring.

B. Londoners are traditional and fashion conscious.

C. Many well-known writers like to live in London.

D. Coffee is more popular with Londoners than tea.

【2】 The underlined word “hankering” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “________”.

A. desire B. respect C. preparation D. talent

【3】In which column of a newspaper can we find the passage?

A.Culture. B. Travel. C. Education. D. Entertainment.
