The chances are that you’ve walked past a QR Code(二維碼) or come into contact with one recently, possibly without noticing. Even if you haven’t seen one before, here are some examples for you.

But what exactly are QR Codes? Very simply, they are bar-codes, not too dissimilar to the bar-codes you saw on the package of almost every product you bought. QR Codes are combined with multiple rows and columns(列), which allows QR Code to stone its data.

QR Codes started out in the East but their popularity exploded worldwide within a few years. They are flexible, cheap, easy to read by scanners as simple as an App on your smart phone and easy for anybody to create. The direction of reading the QR codes is not limited. Even when damaged there is a chance that they are still readable. Unlike traditional bar-codes which are 1 dimensional （using 1 row of lines）, QR Codes use 2 dimensions, which allows them to store a lot more data in the same area of space.

But can a picture or music be stored in a QR Code? Images and sounds consume much more data than text and a QR Code is limited to storing 3kb of data. The size of an image will need to be made so small to be stored that it will be impractical to do so. So it is with songs. In fact if you have a need to present the user with an image or kick off a music stream when they scan your QR Code, why not look to host it somewhere and then have your QR code simply linked to the content?

Not only have QR Codes surely brought us great convenience, but also security concerns at the same time. For example, a QR Code may be covered by one designed by a cheater on purpose, without being recognized. You sign up entering all your account details only to find the following day someone has gained access to your account because of the information you entered in that website.

1.What do we know about QR Codes?

A. They can be scanned from any direction

B. They use 1 row of lines to store data.

C. They are readable when damaged.

D. They are flexible but not cheap.

2.Which is one big drawback of QR Codes?

A. A QR Code can be linked to somewhere else.

B. QR Codes cannot be used to present a picture.

C. A QR Code can store data of no more than 3kb.

D. QR Codes can only be read with an app on your smart phone.

3.From the text we can infer that _______.

A. traditional bar-codes have an advantage over QR codes in storing data

B. we had better pay attention to the security when using QR codes

C. it makes sense to store a song of a picture in a QR code

D. QR Codes are so dangerous that they are not worth using

4.The text mainly talks about______.

A. the use of QR Codes

B. the disadvantages of QR Codes

C. the advantages of QR Codes

D. the formation of QR Codes

12．Believe it or not，optical illusion（錯(cuò)覺） can cut highway crashes．
Japan is a case in point．It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75percent using a simple optical illusion．But stripes，called chevrons（人字形），painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are，and thus drivers slow down．
Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D．C．is planning to repeat Japan's success．Starting next year，the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes．
Excessive （too great） speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents，according to the foundation．To help reduce those accidents，the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related hazards （danger） are the greatest curves （曲線），exit slopes，traffic circles，and bridges．
Some studies suggest that straight，horizontal bars painted across roads can initially（最初） cut the average speed of drivers in half．However，traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars．
Chevrons，scientists say，not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower．The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents．

51．The passage mainly discussesA．
A．a(chǎn) new way of highway speed control
B．a(chǎn) new pattern for painting highways
C．a(chǎn) new way of training drivers
D．a(chǎn) new type of optical illusion
52．On roads painted with chevrons，drivers tend to feel thatC．
A．they should avoid speed-related hazards
B．they are driving in the wrong lane
C．they should slow down their speed
D．they are coming near to the speed limit
53．The advantage of chevrons over straight，horizontal bars is that the formerD．
A．can keep drivers awake     
B．can cut road accidents in half
C．will look more attractive    
D．will have a longer effect on drivers
54．The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans toA．
A．try out the Japanese method in certain areas
B．change the road signs across the country
C．replace straight，horizontal bars with chevrons
D．repeat the Japanese road patterns
55．What does the author say about straight，horizontal bars painted across roads？C
A．They are suitable only on broad roads．
B．They are falling out of use in the United States．
C．They are ignored in a long period of time．
D．They cannot be used successfully to traffic circles．

Hans Christian Andersen is a Danish writer famous for his fairy tales, many of which depict (描述) characters who gain happiness in life after suffering and conflict.

Andersen’s father was a poor shoemaker and his mother worked as a washerwoman. As a child he was highly emotional, suffering all kinds of fears and shame because of his unmanly interests. Encouraged by his parents, he composed his own fairy tales and arranged puppet (木偶) theater shows. At the age of 14, Andersen moved to Copenhagen to start a career as a singer—he had a beautiful voice. He succeeded in becoming associated with Royal Theater, but he had to leave it when his voice began to change. When casually referred to as a poet, he changed his plans and began to write plays, all of which were refused.

In 1822, Jonas Collin, the director of the Royal Theater, gave Andersen a grant to enter the grammar school at Slagelse. In 1827, Andersen gained admission to Copenhagen University, where he completed his education. In 1828 he wrote a shot story on travel, a fantastic tale in the style of the German Romantic writer, E. T. A. Hofmann. He traveled widely in Europe and remained a passionate traveler all his life.

As a novelist, Andersen made his breakthrough with The Improvisatore. The story described a poor boy’s integration (融合) into society, an Ugly Duckling theme of self-discovery. The book gained international success and remains the most widely read of all his works.

In his early collections, Andersen returned to the stories that he had heard as a child, but gradually he started to create his own tales. Most of Andersen’s works were original. Only 12 of his 156 known fairy stories drew on folktales.

The ugliness of the hero or heroine in his stories often conceals (隱藏) great beauty，which is revealed (揭示) after misfortune. Some of Andersen’s tales reveal a positive belief in the victory of the good, among them, The Snow Queen and The Ugly Duckling, and some end unhappily, like the Little Match Girl. In The Little Mermaid the author expressed a longing for the ordinary life that he had never had. Andersen never married, and he died in his home in Rolighed in 1875.

1.Why did Andersen leave the Royal Theater?

A. He no longer had a beautiful voice.

B. He would rather become a poet than a singer.

C. He wanted to travel abroad instead.

D. He had to go to school to study.

2.Which of the following statements is TRUE about Andersen?

A. Most of his works came from folktales he had heard.

B. The early plays he wrote achieved great success.

C. He had an unhappy life in childhood.

D. His parents were against his effort to compose fairy tales.

3.What did Andersen try to express in The Little Mermaid?

A. Happiness gained after suffering and conflict.

B. The desire for an ordinary life.

C. The failure to fit into society.

D. Great beauty concealed by ugliness.

4.What is the text mainly about?

A. How Andersen led his childhood.

B. How Andersen’s works finally became well-known.

C. The excellent works of Andersen.

D. An introduction to Andersen’s life and works.

3．The literal meaning of philosophy is"love of wisdom"．But this meaning does not tell us very much．Unlike the other disciplines，philosophy cannot be defined by what you study，because it is actually unlimited．Anything can be the subject matter of philsophy：history，law，language，literature，mathematics，and in fact，the other academic disciplines are directly related to philosophy．For this reason you get a Doctorate of Philosophy （Ph．D．） in biochemistry，or computer science，or psychology．
Two broad sub-fields of philosophy are logic and the history of philosophy．Logic is the science of agument and critical thinking．It provides sound methods for distinguishing good from bad reasoning．The history of philosophy involves the study of major philosophers and periods in the development of philosophy．
Of what use is philosophy？First it is useful in educational advancement．It is necessary for understanding other disciplines．Only philosophy questions the nature of the concepts used in a discipline，and its relation to other disciplines．And through the study of philosophy，one develops sound methods of research and analysis that can be applied to any field．
There are a number of general uses of philosophy．It strengthens one's ability to solve problems，to communicate，to organize ideas and issues，to persuade，and to take what is the most important from a large quantity of data．These general uses are of great benefit in the career field，not necessarily for obtaining one's first job after graduation，but for preparing for positions of responsibility，management and leadership later on．It is very short-sighted after all，to take a course of studies only for the purpose of getting one's first job．The useful skills developed through the study of philosophy have significant long-term benefits in career advancement．No other discipline systematically follows the ideals of wisdom，leadership，and capacty to resolve human conflict．

36．According to paragraph 1，philosophy can best be described as the study ofC
A．social sciences                
B．natural sciences
C．both social and natural sciences    
D．the subject matter of politics
37．What does"discipline"mean in the first paragraph？A
A．subject
B．science
C．literature
D．occupation
38．With the study of philosophy，you canD
A．become a great leader 
B．succeed in everything
C．find a good job soon after graduation
D．make progress in your career development
39．According to the passage，which of the following statements is TRUE？B
A．Philosophy is an independent discipline．
B．Logic helps you to become a better thinker．
C．The study of philosophy brings you immediate benefits．
D．The meaning of philosophy is too limited to define．
40．From the passage，we can conclude．C
A．not all the subjects have to do with philosophy
B．a(chǎn) person will get a Ph．D．if he/she studies philosophy
C．philosophy can be helpful for the study of any other subjects
D．philosophy is the only solution to all the problems in the world．
