AWhen you're on the go, your best friend and resource can be your phone. In the age of smart phones, apps arelike guiding stars: They can point you in the right direction for a hotel, list expenses, send postcards, and much more. When used together, these apps can be the basic travel tool, placing a wealth of information at your fingertips no matter where you are on the planet. U.S. News Travel has picked the essential travel apps, known for their utility and reliability. Best of all, they cost absolutely nothing.Trip ItYour Personal Travel AgentBe your own travel agent and plan every detail of your trip —from car rental to accomadating restaurants —with Trip It. You can make travel schedule by hand, or simply forward the email confirmations of your flight, rental car, train tickets, and hotels to plans.Weather FreeYour Go-To Meteorologist(气象学者)Stop trying to explain the weather forecast on the evening news (particularly when it's in a foreign language). The Weather Free app informs you (in English) of the climate in various locations. It features the local weather, and other key factors that will inform your decision about what to wear before stepping outside.GobyYour Event GuruWhen you're in a foreign city, you sometimes look around and ask: Where are all the people? Goby has the answer. This app pinpoints the neighborhood hot spots (including museums, hotels, eateries, and more) in your neighborhood. But its true value comes in finding nearby events. You'll discover concerts, plays, and more right around the corner.21. What is the advantage of using travel apps picked by the U.S. News Travel?A. They can solve any problem you come across.B. They reduce your travel budget.C. They exercise your fingertips.D. They are reliable and free of charge.22. With the help of the travel apps used together, travelers can do the following things EXCEPT__________.A. rent a carB. decide what to wear 湖北省 华师一附中 黄冈中学 黄石二中 荆州中学襄阳四中 襄阳五中 孝感高中 鄂南高中 八校C. look for a friend while travelingD. find the nearby museums23. Where are the readers likely to read the passage above?A. In a geography textbookB. In a science and technology magazineC. On a popular websiteD. In a business reportBBorn in the State of New York on May 14th, 1984, Mark Zuckerberg was an instant success. In his high school years, he was considered one of top students in the classics, before moving into the arts, sciences, and literature, again picking up high marks and receiving academic praise. It earned him admission to Harvard University.As a rebellious yet relatively quiet student, he created a website called Facemash in the university–an instantly controversial website that encouraged students to rate each other based on appearance.The site was controversial for several reasons. The first was its illegal use of photographs, which the university and students took issue with. The second was its controversial nature –not every student like being ranked based on their appearance. The third was its huge resource use – while it was hosted on Harvard servers, it was the most popular page in the university’s en tire network.Zuckerberg was soon forced to shut the site down, but its popularity and controversy had made him consider its future potential. He soon turned the simple site into a personal one for Harvard students, encouraging them to network with their peers at the college. It was then, together with his two friends, that they launched “The Facebook‖, which immediately spread to other colleges and grew into a public service that anyone could access in the United States, whether to network with friends and family, or to play games.The company has been criticized frequently, nevertheless, Zuckerberg has remained true to his initial vision –to create a website that the entire world can use to communicate openly and easily with one another and to keep the user experience clean and pure. The end result is one of the world’s biggest online businesses.Although its true value is debatable, it’s safe to say that Facebook, and its creator Mark Zuckerberg, are two of the twenty-first century’s most infl uential, controversial, and potentially powerful figures.24. When Mark Zuckerberg was a student, he_____________________.A. was often praised by teachers for the website he createdB. had good academic performanceC. alone created a website called FacebookD. encouraged students to set up business like him25. The reason why Zuckerberg shut the site down was probably that__________.A. his website was not popularB. he was doubted for the way he used photographsC. he needed time to reconsider his choiceD. he stole resource on Harvard server26.Which words can best describe Zuckerberg?A. easy-going and smart.B. quiet and shy.C. talented and outgoing.D. rebellious and creative.27. The best title of the passage should be________________.A. Mark Zuckerberg and his FacebookB. The Foundation of FacebookC. A Talent from Harvard UniversityD. The Development of FacebookCHave you ever found yourself in this situation: You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child – a bit of nostalgia(怀旧) or ―blast from the past,‖ as we say. But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago.Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of ―listen-and-repeat‖ learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply speak the words. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words.All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered.Why Hungarian, you ask? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them.Dr. Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3, or memorable 4, tune 5.Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburgh’s website Dr. Ludke writes, ―This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.‖28. The ―song‖ mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to__________.A. recall the pastB. attract the readersC. introduce the topicD. compare the childhood with the present29. According to the passage which language doesn’t share the same root with Germanic or Romance languages?A. HungarianB. SpanishC. ItalianD. English30. Based on the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that __________A. singing is the best way to learn a language.B. the brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the words.C. a listen-repeat method is very effective for any language learner.D. Dr. Katie Overy and Dr. Ludke disagree with each other.31. In which situation can the finding of the research be applied?A. A mother is going to teach her baby how to speak.B. A child is going to have his first music lesson.C. A student is going to learn a new English song.D. An American is going to learn some Chinese.DWalt Disney World is banning selfie-sticks from its theme parks because selfie-sticks have become a growing safety concern for both our guests and cast," Disney World spokeswoman Kim Prunty said.Under a new policy, which takes effect Tuesday, the poles won’t make it past the bag check at any Disney World theme park. The sticks also won't be allowed in Disney World water parks or Disney Quest, a gaming attraction at Downtown Disney. Selfie-sticks will also become forbidden at Disneyland Resort in California on June 30. The prohibition begins at Disney's parks in Paris and Hong Kong on July 1.Guests will be checked for the equipment during the routine bag check that happens near the parks' entrances. They will have an option of turning in their selfie-sticks for pick-up later or to go back to their cars or hotel rooms to keep them. Visitors will be told of the policy in locations such as the parking lots and at the resort's hotels. The prohibition will be added to the park rules post on Disney World's website.The issue has been building at Disney. Previously, the sticks were prohibited from its rides, and "no selfie-sticks" signs were at select rides, such as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Magic Kingdom. Cast members have given oral warnings to rule breakers.Selfie-stick users put smartphones and cameras on the ends of poles to extend their reach, frequently capturing theme-park moments through self-portraits. The tools have been banned in public places –including some museums and stadiums – worldwide for obstructing views or causing safety issues.Disney World already prohibits items such as skateboards, inline skates, wagon, folding chairs and glass containers, according to its o fficial website, which also lists ―other items that we determine may be harmful .‖Universal Orlando has banned selfie-sticks and other loose items from certain thrill rides at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure theme parks, but it has not set parkwide bans.32.Which of the following objects has already been banned in Disney theme parks before the new policy takes effect?A. smart phonesB. folding chairsC. camerasD. containers33. According to the ban, if the guests are found carrying selfie-sticks during the routine bagcheck, they may __________.A. abandon them at the bag checkB. get fined and pick them up laterC. turn them in to the policeD. put them in the trunk of their cars34. The underlined word in the fifth paragraph probably means__________.A. changingB. broadeningC. blockingD. narrowing35. According to the passage, it can be inferred that__________A. the ban on the use of selfie-sticks is aimed at ensuring security.B. previously guests can take photos with selfie-sticks on thrill rides.C. the staff in Disneyland will inform visitors of the ban only orally.D. Universal Orlando has banned selfie-sticks parkwide.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

He was regarded as “an old manalways telling the truth”. Living across two centuries, he experienced many periods of danger and suffering but never lost his beliefs. His name was Ba Jin.As the 101-year-old legendary (传奇的) writer passed away in Shanghai after a six-year battle with disease, millions of Chinese were deeply sad. People in Shanghai and Chengdu gathered around his old house and literature museum to mournfor the great man.“My school held a series of ceremonies to express our deep sorrow,” said Zuo Shang, a 17-year-old girl in Shanghai, who appreciates many of Ba‟s works. “He is a great writer who wrote so many masterpieces, but what I admire about him the most is his courage to tell the truth.” “…Telling the truth, being an honest man‟. That‟s what I learned from him,” explained Zuo.Ba Jin was born in 1904 in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. A son of a wealthy family, Ba helped the poor ever since he was a child. It was they who taught him a strong yet down-to-earth way of living.Ba finished his first novel, “Destruction” in 1929 during his travels to France.

The books encouraged Chinese people not to give in to fate and to be their own masters.“Ba Jin told the true story of his country and his people. His great love and service to them meant he was thinking about what he could do for them,” said Bing Xin, a well-known writer and also his good friend.“It really hurts to recall my past mistakes, but I have to,” said the respectable man. “Always tell the truth.

After all, with exercise, you can burn off the calories from that can of Coke anyway. If this is your way of thinking, then congratulat ions! You are Big Soda‟s ideal consumer.The term “Big Soda” refers to two soft drink companies: Coca-Cola and Pepsi. American soda consumption has experienced a sustained decline. In China, however, it‟s a different story. According to a Xinhua News Agenc y report, Coca-Cola‟s soda sales went up 10 percent in the second quarter this year compared to the same time last year.Increases in soda consumption can be worrisome to health experts. In her recent book Soda Politics: Taking on Big Soda (and Winning), New York University nutrition professor Marion Nestle makes a fiery case against the soda industry. She says it‟s all right if you drink sweet drinks occasionally. But drinking it every day is “plainly unhealthy”.According to The Economist, one large study cited in Nestle‟s book “found that for each [12-ounce] can added to a person‟s daily diet, the risk of diabetes(糖尿病) jumped by 22 percent. There are also links between sugar and heart disease, obesity, stroke and cancer”. Unlike fruits or even a Big Mac, sweet drinks have no nutritional value. A 12-ounce (340-gram) can of Coke, for example, has 140 calories and 39 grams of sugar but no protein or fiber.Nestle also points out that drinking a lot of soda has a broader cost. Chronic diseases caused by unhealthy diets can create a burden for a country‟s healthcare system.Increased health awareness has turned a lot of US consumers against soda. On a political level, lawmakers are also waging a war against Big Soda. Thirty-three US states are taxing soda or sugar-sweetened drinks, while some are considering introducing warning labels for soda ads and soda products.But soda companies won‟t just sit quietly and let their profits drop. “Soda companies spend billions on marketing,” writes The Economist. Thanks to celebrity endorsers(代言人), advertising campaigns have helped Coca-Cola and Pepsi become some of the world‟s best-loved brands.According to The New York Times,soda companies also use “armies of lobbyists to persuade cities, states and Congress not to crack down on sugary drinks”.The Times points to Philadelphia as an example. When the mayor sought to impose a new tax on sugary sodas in 2011, the soda lobby offered a big donation to the city‟s children‟s hospital and “successfully lobbied(游说) the City Council to let the proposal die”.28.We can learn from the first paragraph that_____________.A.drinking Coke does little harm as long aswetake exercise on a regular basis.B. just one bottle of Coke everyday would not affect our health condition.C. a person who drinks Coke everyday will be welcomed byBig Soda.D. the consumption of Coke should be controlled since too much sugar is harmful for our health.29.What can we infer from the study cited in Nestle‟s book?A.

Your conscience forces you to help someone in danger. But many Chinese are discovering that some of these injured people are scammers. They accuse good Samaritans(好心人) of having knocked them over in the first place, and they file complaints in hopes of receiving large amounts of compensation.There are frequent reports on such incidents and following disputes. On Sept 8, a new case happened in Huainan, Anhui province. Yuan Chen, a 20-year-old college student from Huainan Normal University, claimed that she helped an injured elderly woman on the street. But the woman‟s family has demanded that Yuan take full responsibilities for the injuries.Since the incident happen ed in the security cameras‟ blind spot, both sides are looking for witnesses to clear their names. The local police department is also investigating the case. But how can you possibly solve a case like this, where the only evidence comes from two conflicting viewpoints?“This kind of cases should follow the principle of …the burden of proof lies with the person making the claim‟,” Ye Lin, a law professor from Renmin University of China, told China Central Television. The burden of proof means the collection of proof or evidence. In civil cases, “if you accuse someone of causing you harm or losses, you should collect convincing proof to back your claim,” said Ye. “If you cannot do that, the law will not be able to support your claim.”The law may not resolve all the problems, however. Some elderly people choose to blackmail(敲诈) their helpers because they do not have health insurance. To prevent this, the country needs to put in place a better social security net.32. Which of the following statements is true according to the first paragraph?A.Conscience is troublesome because it compels you to help someone who will set you up in return.B.There‟s no doubt that the elderly usually fell down on purpose to claim compensation.C.It is advisable for Chinese people to turn a blind eye to someone in danger.D.Sometimes the warm-hearted are wrongly accused of having knocked others over.33.

Both sides are in search of evidence that can clarify their opinions.C. Both sides are in search of someone who can prove they are telling the truth.D. Both sides are in search of evidence that can wash away their crimes.34. What can we infer from Ye Lin, the law professor‟s words?A.The principle regards the accused as innocent until convincing proof can be provided.B. In civil cases, the accused should collect proof as well to reject the claim.C.Ye Lin thinks it is Yuan Chen who is responsible for gathering proof .D. Since it is hard to collect convincing proof, both sides should take on the responsibility.35. What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?A. To analyze deep causes of the elderlyblackmailing their helpers.B. To illustrate the impact brought about by the blackmail on our society.C. To emphasize the necessity of an improved social security system.D. To make comments on this hot social phenomenon.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
