An infected person can cough or sneeze on someone nearby, or they can spread germs through a handshake. But sometimes we pick up germs indirectly. A sick person might leave behind bacteria or viruses when they touch a door handle, for example. But what if those surfaces could clean themselves?Two teenagers from Hong Kong asked themselves the same question. Now they’ve developed a door handle that can kill germs on contact.The idea is simple: Every time the door is opened, the movement creates power that starts a germ-killing reaction on the handle. In lab tests, their system killed about 99.8percent of the germs that they spread onto lab dishes covered with their material.Research by others has shown that door handles in public areas are often home to lots of bacteria and viruses, notes 17-y ear-old Sum Ming(“Simon”) Wong. He and schoolmate Kin Pong(“Michael”) Li, 18, wanted to design a covering for door handles that would kill germs.After doing some research, they learned that a mineral called titanium dioxide is known to kill bacteria. It’s already used in m any products, from paints to desserts. To make their covering, the teenagers made the mineral into a very fine powder.Titanium dioxide kills bacteria best when lit by ultraviolet light, says Simon. UV light is found in sunlight. But UV light does not naturally shine on indoor handles or any used at night, so the teenagers light their door handle from within.To make sure the light reaches the coated surface, the teenagers made their door handle out of clear glass, Each end fits into a bracket(托架). Inside one of the brackets is a strong light-emitting diode(LED). From it comes UV light.And here’s the interesting part: The power th at makes the UV light shine comes from opening and closing the door. The power from the door is then carried by wire to the LED inside the door handle.The door handle system, Michael and Simon say, might cost no more than about $13(about 81yuan) to build. 24.The ways diseases spread are mentioned at the beginning of the text to ________.A.demonstrate how most diseases are spread indirectlyB.remind readers of the importance of cleaning their handsC.explain how to kill bacteria or viruses effectivelyD.help to describe a new invention that prevents diseases from spreading25.Michael and Simon’s door handle __________.A.is too expensive for ordinary familiesB.is powered by the movement of its usersC.works better at night than in the daytimeD.is made of a metal that can take in UV light26.The LED is placed inside the brackets to _______.A.supply enough power to the handle systemB.produce titanium dioxide to kill bacteriaC.provide UV light to help titanium dioxide work betterD.direct the UV light in sunlight to the coated surface27.What is the author’s attitude toward Michael and Simon’s door handle system?A.Cautious B.Critical C.Enthusiastic D.DisappointedCCalifornia Condor’s Shocking RecoveryCalifornia condors are North America’s large st birds, with wing-length ofup to 3meters. In the 1980s, electrical lines and lead poisoning(铅中毒) nearlydrove them to dying out. Now, electric shock training and medical treatment arehelping to rescue these big birds.In the late 1980s, the last few condors were taken from the wild, and there are now more than 150 flying over California and nearby Arizona, Utah and Baja in Mexico.Electrical lines have been killing them off. “As they go in to rest for the night, they just don’t see the power lines,” s ays Bruce Rideout of San Diego Zoo. Their wings can bridge the gap between lines, resulting in electrocution(电死) if they touch two lines at once.So scientists have come up with a shocking idea. Tall poles, placed in large training areas, teach the birds to stay clear of electrical lines by giving them a painful but undeadly electric shock. Before the training was introduced, 66% of set-freed condors died of electrocution. This has now dropped to 18%.Lead poisonous has proved more difficult to deal with. When condors eat dead bodies of other animals containing lead, they absorb large quantities of lead. This affects their nervous systems and ability to produce baby birds, and can lead to kidney(肾) failures and death. So condors with high levels of lead are sent to Los Angeles Zoo, where they are treated with calcium EDTA, a chemical that removes lead from the blood over several days. This work is starting to pay off. The annual death rate for adult condors has dropped from 38% in 2 000 to 5.4% in 2011.Rideo ut’s team thinks that the California condors’ average survival time in the wild is now just under eight years. “Although these measures are not effective forever, they are vital for now,” he says. “They are truly good birds that are worth every effort we p ut into recovering them.”28.California condors attract research ers’ interest because they ________.A.are active at night B.had to be bred in the wildC.are found on in California D.almost died out in the 1980s29.Researchers have found electrical lines are _______.A.blocking condors’ journey home B.big killers of California CondorsC.rest places for condors at night D.used to keep condors away30.According to Paragraph 5, lead poisoning ________.A.makes condors too nervous to flyB.has little effect on condors’ kidneysC.can hardly be gotten rid of from condors’ bloodD.makes it difficult for condors to produce baby birds31.The passage shows that ________.A.the average survival time of condors is satisfactoryB.Rideout’s research interest lies in electric engineeringC.the efforts to protect condors have brought good resultsD.researchers have found the final answers to the problemDA 2-mile-wide tornado tore through the Oklahoma City suburb of Moore on Monday, killing at least 51people including 20 children, destroying entire tracts of homes and trapping two dozen school children beneath rubble.Rescue teams raced against the setting sun and worked into the darkness in search of survivors as the dangerous storm system threatened several southern Plains states with more twisters.The Oklahoma medical examiner confirmed 51deaths including 20 children, making it the deadliest U. S. tornado since one killed 161people in Joplin, Missouri. Area hospitals reported at least 230 people injured, including at least 45children.Emergency crews searched the rubble of Plaza Towers Elementary School to look for two dozen missing children, Oklahoma Lieutenant Governor Todd Lamb said. The school took a direct hit from the tornado, Lamb told CNN.Police and fire crews pulled some school children from the devastation, a KFOR television reporter said from the scene.The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center provided the town with a warning 16minutes before the tornado touched down at 3:01p. m. local time(4:01p. m. EDT), which is greater than the average eight to ten minutes of warning, said Keli Pirtle, a spokeswoman for the center in Norman, Oklahoma.The U. S. Federal Aviation Administration(FAA) imposed a temporary flight restriction that allowed only relief aircraft in the area, saying it was at the request of local police who wanted quiet to search for buried survivors.Oklahoma activated the National Guard, and the U. S. Federal Emergency Management Agency activated teams to support recovery operations and coordinate responses for multiple agencies.Briarwood Elementary School, which also stood in the storm's path, was all but destroyed. On the first floor, sections of walls had been peeled away, affording clear views into the building, while in other areas, cars hurled by the storm winds were lodged in the walls.While the school was a wreck, nearby playground clear equipment stood undamaged, though littered with rubble. Across the street, people picked through the remains of their homes, looking for any possessions they might salvage.The number of injured as reported by several hospitals rose rapidly throughout the afternoon.32.From this passage we can infer that _____.A.this tornado is the most serious in history in the USAB.this tornado led to 20 school children deaths in OklahomaC.this tornado isn't the deadliest one in history in the USAD.this tornado hit entire tracts of homes and schools badly33.What does the author want to show us in the 6th paragraph? _____A.The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center didn't provide the exact time for people.B.The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center had warned people of the tornado ahead of time. C.The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center should warn people of the tornado ahead of eight to ten minutes.D.The Na tional Weather Service Storm Prediction Center had warned people of the tornado at 3:01p. m. 34.Why did the FAA impose a temporary flight restriction in Oklahoma? _____A.The weather there was not suitable for flight.B.The flights weren't allowed to pass over Oklahoma.C.People wanted quiet to search for buried survivors.D.The injured wanted quiet to have a good rest in hospitals.35.Where may we see this article? _____A.In a story book B.In a government reportC.In a victim’s memoirs(回忆录) D.In a newspaper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.Tips to Increase Your ProductivityWant to get more done in your day?

He reminded how my father had sent me to the best college in our city. Did I want to fulfill father's dream or did I want to be called a failure?

His calming, voice did wonders and I decided to study harder and complete my graduation.【解析】第一处:where改为when.考查连词.my father passed away是I was in college的时间状语从句,故用when引导.第二处:asks改为asked.考查时态.本文叙述过去发生的事,应用一般过去时态,故将ask改为asked.第三处:去掉college前面的the.考查冠词.go to college表示“上大学”,college前用零冠词,故去掉the.第四处:reminded和how中间加me.考查动词短语.remind sb. what/ how/ when/…S V是固定结构,表示“提醒某人……”,故应在remind后加宾语;结合句意此处应是“提醒我”,故加me.第五处:his改为my.考查代词.根据句意,应是“实现我父亲的梦想”,故将his改为my.第六处:do改为did.考查时态. 叙述过去的事情,应用一般过去时态,将do改为did.第七处:and改为but.考查连词.

Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website Book turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. Book Crossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managing director of Book Crossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. Book Crossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the Book Crossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.Book Crossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.21.Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph? ________A.To explain what they are. B.To introduce Book Crossing.C.To stress the importance of reading. D.To encourage readers to share their ideas. 22.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2refer to? ________A.The book. B.An adventure.C.A public place. D.The identification number.23.What will a Book Crosser do with a book after reading it? ________A.Meet other readers to discuss it. B.Keep it safe in his bookcase.C.Pass it on to another reader. D.Mail it back to its owner.24.What is the best title for the text? ________A.Online Reading: A Virtual Tour B.Electronic Books: A new TrendC.A Book Group Brings Tradition Back D.A Website Links People through BooksBWhen John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier.Far happier.These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence(能力)and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,” said George Valliant, the psychologist(心理学家)who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”Valliant’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47.Under Valliant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out. Working—at any age—is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence—the underpinnings(基础)of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.”25.What do we know about John? ________A.He enjoyed his career and marriage.B.He had few childhood playmates.C.He received little love from his family.D.He was envied by others in his childhood.26.V alliant’s words in Paragraph 2 serve as ________A.a description of personal values and social valuesB.an analysis of how work was related to competenceC.an example for parents’ expectations of their childrenD.an explanation why some boys grew into happy men27.V alliant’s team obtained their findings by ________A.recording the boys’ effort in schoolB.evaluating the men’s mental healthC.comparing different sets of scoresD.measuring the men’s problem solving ability28.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? ________A.competent adults know more about love than work.B.Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.C.Love brings more joy to people than work does.D.Independence is the key to one’s success.COne early morning, I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again. My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word “Poems” appeared in big, hot pink letters.“Is it good?” I asked her.“Yeah,” she answered. “There’s one I really like and you’ll like it, too.” I leaned forward.“Patty Poem,” she read the title. Who is Patty? I wondered. The poem began:She never puts her toys away,Just leaves them scattered①where they lay,①散乱的The poem was just three short sections. The final one came quickly:When she grows and gathers poise②,②稳重I’ll miss her harum-scarum③noise,③莽撞的And look in vain④for scattered toys.④徒劳地And I’ll be sad.A terrible sorrow washed over me. Whoever Patty was, she was a mean girl. Then, the shock.“It’s you, honey,” My mother said sadly.To my mother, the poem revealed a parent’s affection when her child grows up and leaves. To me, the “she” in the poem was horror. It was my mama who would be sad. It was so terrible I burst out crying.“What’s wrong?” my mother asked.“Oh Mama,” I cried. “I don’t want to grow up ever!”She smiled. “Honey, it’s okay. You’re not growing up anytime soon. And when you do, I’ll still love you, okay?”“Okay,” I was still weeping. My panic has gone. But I could not help thinking about that silly poem. After what seemed like a safe amount of time, I read the poem again and was confused. It all fit so well together, like a puzzle. The language was simple, so simple I could plainly understand its meaning, yet it was still beautiful. I was now fascinated by the idea of poetry, words that had the power to make or break a person’s world.I have since fallen in love with other poems, but “Patty Poem” remains my poem. After all, “Patty Poem” gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one that hurt me the most.29.Why was the writer attracted by the book Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again? ________A.It was a thick enough book.B.Something on its cover caught her eye.C.Her mother was reading it with interest.D.It has a meaningful title.30.After her mother read the poem to her, the writer felt ________ at first.A.sad B.excited C.horrified D.confused31.The writer’s mother liked to read “Patty Poem” probably because ________A.it reflected her own childhoodB.it was written in simple languageC.it was composed by a famous poetD.it gave her a hint of what would happen32.It can be concluded from the passage that “Patty Poem” leads the writer to ________A.discover the power of poetryB.recognize her love for puzzlesC.find her eagerness to grow upD.experience great homesicknessDA warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.33.According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk ________A.started sleep more easily B.were more anxious C.were less active D.woke up later 34.Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text? ________A.It’s been tested on mice for ten yearsB.It can make people more energeticC.It exists in milk in great amountD.It’s used in sleeping drugs35.How does the author support the theme of the text? ________A.By giving examples.B.By stating arguments.C.By explaining statistical data.D.By providing research results.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.Have you heard about Leap year? Leap year is a year that has 366days instead of the usual 365. It normally occurs every four years, always on an even-numbered year. The extra day is added to our shortest month. That is the second month of the year, which in non-leap years has 28days, two fewer than any other month. 36 We also call Leap year the bissextile year(闰年). 37 In our calendar system there is a need for a leap year because the solar year (the time it takes the earth to go around the sun once)is actually slightly more than 365days long. That extra day—Feb 29every four years—helps correct the difference between our calendar and the solar calendar.It is said that Leap year was first made part of the calendar by the ancient Roman leader Julius Caesar. His astronomers had calculated the length of the solar year to be 365days and six hours. So Caesar declared that an extra day be added to the calendar. 38However, Caesar’s adjustment was not completely accurate because his astronomers’ year exceeded the true solar year by eleven minutes and fourteen seconds. By 1582, a difference of ten days had developed between the calendar year and the true solar year. To correct this error, Pope Gregory XIII ruled that every fourth year would continue to be a leap year except for century years that could not be divided evenly by 400. By this system, century years such as 1700, 1800, and 1900 were not leap years, but the year 2000 was a leap year. 39 People born on Feb 29celebrate their growing up a little differently from the rest of us.40 But if they go strictly by the calendar, they have only one-fourth as many birthday celebrations as most people.A.They acknowledge that they get older each year.B.When you see Feb 29on a calendar, you know that year is a leap year.C.This is its formal, or scientific title.D.This may seem complicated, but it works.E.This is done every four years.F.The leap year was introduced in the Julian calendar in 46 BC.G.In a leap year, the extra day is added to the second month, giving it 29instead of the usual 28days第三节完形填空(共20小题;每题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.Years ago, a critical event occurred in my life that would change it forever. I met Kurt Kamp Meir of SuccessMotivation Incorporation for breakfast.

Kurt 46 patiently, but then he 47 smiled and said, “You don’t have a personal plan for growth, do you?”“No, I 48 .”“You know,” Kurt said simply, “growth is not an 49 process.”And that’s when it 50 me. I wasn’t doing anything 51 to make myself better.

Usually, an ossuary is just a site where bones are kept, but this one is very different. It is an ossuary 62 (rich)decorated with bones of mote than 40, 000 human skeletons (骨架), a strange fact that led to its nickname—the Bone Church.The current location of the Sidle Ossuary was originally a cemetery. In 1278, the headmaster of Sidle paid a visit to the Holy Land, and 63 his return, he brought back a handful of earth from Golgotha, the area where Jesus is thought to have been crucified(钉在十字架上). The headmaster 64 (spread)the soil in the cemetery and word went around that the place was blessed. Soon, people from all over Europe wanted to be buried there. In the 15thcentury, the cemetery was nearly out of place, so to make room for newcomers, some of the older bones 65 (remove)from the cemetery and stored in an ossuary they built. At the time, however, the bones were merely piled up and not carefully arranged.It was Frantisek Rant, a wood carver, 66 rearranged the 67 (bury)site and transformed it into the magnificent Bone Church. In 1870, he cleaned up thousands of bones and carefully pieced 68 together in various shapes. The designs include two chalices, several candleholders, a noble family crest, a splendid chandelier, and much more 69 (include). Equally astonishing 70 (be)the six bell-shaped pyramids of bones in the four corners of the ossuary. Together, they express the short life of human beings. To this day, tourists can’t help but feel small after a visit to the Bone Church.第二节短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文.文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处.每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改.增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧),并在其下面写出该加的词.删除:把多余的词用斜线(\)划掉.修改:在错的词下划一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词.注意:1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词;2.只允许修改10处,多者(从第11处起)不计分.The book I’m reading of talks about afternoon tea in Britain.

The advertisement is intended for.A. a science centerB. a summer campC. a travel organizationD. a TV programBAlthough Ripton Rosen was a white boy living in a luxurious penthouse, he liked to play baseball with hisblack teammates of the same street. Ripton sometimes invited the boys to his home to play video games. As timewent on, several of them became frequent visitors to the 16th-floor penthouse. In time, the group developed into five regulars: Will and Kindu, Philippe Medina, Juan Carlos Robinson and Carlos Suarez.“In the beginning, it was just a lot of kids moving all over the place,"says Michael, Ripton’s father. Thingsthen began changing in small ways. When the Rosens realized Carlos wasn’t attending school because he didn't have suitable clothes, they bought him some. Then one night, they took the group to a bookstore after a Chinese dinner and realized there were other needs. “The boys had no interest in books at all,”Michael says. Back at the penthouse, he insisted they sit down to read aloud and start a half-hour reading period before video games or television ever day.Slowly the five black boys became a necessary part of the Rosen family. Housework was assigned, including cleaning, loading the dishwasher and walking Mr Jenkins, the family dog.The boys’own families were puzzled by what was happening.“My mom didn’t believe me when I told her aboutthe penthouse,”says Kindu.“She thoug ht I was involved with something bad.”Juan Carlos’ mother, Esther Ruiz,wondered,"Why would the Rosens be doing this?"But as time went on, she noticed changes in her son. “He was getting responsible. The Rosens are the best".5. The Rosens bought Carlos some clothes so that.A. he would study harderB. he would feel comfortableC. he could go to schoolD. he could serve the family6. The underlined words“other needs”in Paragraph 2 probably refer to the need of.A. knowledgeB. textbooksC. cataloguesD.paperwork7. We learn from the passage that the Rosens.A. devoted themselves to fighting discriminationB. knew a lot about how to encourage childrenC. regarded friendship as the most important thingD. treated the black boys with great kindness8. The passage is constructed to confirm the fact that.A. parents are expected to treat other children as generously as possibleB. children ought to be encouraged to make friends with each otherC. all men are created equal, and there should be no racial divisionD. everyone is likely to be grateful for whatever kindness others have shownCIn some ways, the United States has made some progress. Fires no longer destroy 18,000 buildings as they did in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, or kill half a town of 2,400 people, as they did the sa me night in Peshtigo, Wisc onsin. Other than the Beverly Hill Supper Club fire in Kentucky in 1977, it has been four decades since more than 100 Americans died in a fire.But even with such successes, the United States still has one of the worst fire death rates in the world. Safety experts say the problem is neither money nor technology, but the indifference of a country that just will not take fires seriously enough.American fire departments are some of the world's fastest and best-equipped. They have to be. The United States has twice Japan's population, and 40 times as many fires. It spends far less on preventing fires than on fighting them. And American fire -safety lessons are aimed almost entirely at children, who die in large numbers in fires but who, against popular beliefs, start very few of them.Experts say the error is an opinion that fires are not really anyone's fault. That is not so in other countries, where both public education and the law treat fires as either a personal failing or a crime. Japan has many wood houses; of the 48 fires in world history that burned more than 10,000 buildings, Japan has had 27. Punishment for causing a big fire can be as severe as life imprisonment.In the United States, most education dollars are spent in elementary schools. But, the lessons are aimed at too limited a number of people; just 9 percent of all fire deaths are caused by children playing with matches.The United States continues to depend more on technology than laws or social pressure. There are smoke detectors in 85 percent of all homes. Some local building laws now require home sprinklers (喷水装置). New heaters and irons shut themselves off if they are tipped.9. The reason why so many Americans die in fires is that _____.A. they took no interest in new technologyB. they did not pay great attention to preventing firesC. they showed indifference to fighting firesD. they did not spend enough money on fire equipment10. It can be inferred from the passage that______.A. fire safety lessons should not be aimed only at American childrenB. American children have not received enough education of fire safety lessonsC. Japan is better equipped with fire equipment than the United StatesD. America's large population leads to more fires11. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. There has been no great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that leads to high death rate.B. There have been several great fires in the USA in recent 40 years that lead to high death rate.C. There has been only one great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that led to high death rate.D. The fire in Kentucky in 1977 made only a few people killed.DThere are many people you are well advi sed to treat kindly: Your child’s teacher, your husband or wife, your boss and so on.Until now, that best-behavior-required list has not included your Uber driver, or for that matter, taxi drivers. Old thinking: Hey, they’re here to serve me. I don’t have to make a special effort to be nice to them.Dangerously wrong.A recent New York Times story told the instructive tale of a Uber passenger, Hussein Kanji, who says he’s really not sure how he made his driver angry. All he knows is that his driver-generated rating went way down and the wait for a Uber car became hours instead ofminutes.Beware, Uberians: If you’re feeling angry when you slide into the back seat and you give your driver the silent treatment, your reputation may get damaged in the driver-generated ratings. If you’re among the people one Uber driver described as “generally negative”, watch out.Uber isn’t the only front on this battlefield. The ability to rate someone’s service is one of the successes of the Internet. It helps everyo ne weed out people with bad attitudes and worse habits.These ratings should cut both ways. A while back, the auction site eBay made many of its sellers angry when it started preventing them from giving negative ratings to buyers. Until then, sellers and buyers had threatened each other with negative reviews. Too many negative reviews could get you thrown off.Then eBay shifted the balance of power to buyers. Sellers can still write a bad comment, but the overall rating cannot be anything but positive. Thus eBay has become a place where all is for the best. Think positive!We know that being nice to people all day can be exhausting. We’ve also seen people who shout at those who don’t measure up to their expectations for service.Uber is reportedly about to come to Chicago. It is a welcome competitor here because it fits the needs of customers in a new way. We know Uber is a two-way street. But drivers who get too picky may end up with no passengers.Everyone, behave.12. In general, people think of Uber drivers as people who ______.A. they can take advantage ofB. they don’t have to be nice toC. are required to be on their best behaviorD. need better treatment from customers13. Negative driver-generated ratings mean that ______.A. customers have to wait for a longer time when using Uber carsB. drivers are too slow to pick up customersC. Uber drivers can refuse to work for certain customersD. customers have done damage to Uber cars14. The example of eBay in the article is probably meant to show that ______.A. in the Internet age, buyers have always had the advantage of ratingsB. the power of ratings should be given to both sides of a serviceC. the main reason why eBay has become a successful auction siteD. controversy between customers and sellers has only come about recently15. The author has written this article to ______.A. show that when using services like Uber, your behavior directly affects the service you getB. prove that giving and receiving bad ratings can influence your lifeC. suggest that tools like Uber and eBay can reflect what kind of person you areD. stress that both customers and service providers should be generally respectful and positive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项。

AReading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the webs ite turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stic k inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it. Bruce Pederson, the managing directorof BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet andbooks you read. BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the siteand record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave ajournal entry describing what they thoughtof it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated aboutwhere their books have been found. Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not tobe selfish by keeping a book to gather duston a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend amongpeople who want to get back to the “real”and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now hasmore than one million members in more thanone hundred thirty-five countries.21. Why does the author mention book groupsin the first paragraph?A. To explain what they are.B.

A Book Group Brings Tradition BackD. A Website Links People through BooksBWhen John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those whohad worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not.“Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence (能力) and came to feelthey were worthwhile members of society,” said George Vaillant, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves,other s felt good about them.” Vaillant’s study followed these malesin great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researcherscompared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activityscoreswiththeirboyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boy hood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out. Working----at any age----isimportant. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence---the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this.Yet work isn’t everything.As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently in this world if one knows howto work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.”25.

Independence is the key to one’s success.COne early morning, I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again. My interest was aroused only bythe fact that the word “Poems” appeared in big, hot pink letters.“Is it good?” I asked her.“Yeah,” she answered. “There’s one I really like and you’ll like it, too.” I leaned forward.“‘Patty Poem,’” she read the title. Who is Patty? I wondered. The poem began:She never puts her toys away,Just leaves them scattered ①where they lay,… ①散乱的The poem was just three short sections. The final one came quickly:When she grows and gathers poise ②, ②稳重I’ll miss her harum-scarum ③ noise, ③莽撞的 And look in vain ④ for scattered toys. ④徒劳地And I’ll be sad. A terrible sorrow washed over me. Whoever Patty was, she was a mean girl. Then, the shock.“It’s you, honey,” My mother said sadly.To my mother, the poem revealed a parent’s affection when her child grows up and leaves. To me, the “she” in the poem was horror. It was my mama who would be sad. It was so terrible I burst out crying. “What’s wrong?” my mother asked. “Oh Mama,” I cried. “I don’t want to grow up ever!”She smiled. “Honey, it’s okay. You’re not growing up anytime soon. And when you do, I’ll still love you, okay?”“Okay,” I was still weeping. My panic has gone. But I could not help thinking about that silly poem. After what seemed like asafe amount of time, I read the poem again and was confused. It all fit so well together, like a puzzle. The language was simple, so simple I could plainly understand its meaning, yet it was still beautiful. I was now fascinated by the idea of poetry, words that had the power to make or break a person’s world.I have since fallen in love with other poems, but “Patty Poem” remains my po em.After all, “Patty Poem” gave me my love forpoetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one that hurt me the most.29.

But now a study has found it really does help people nod off —if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety. The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in TheJournal of Medicinal Food .Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer. While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested onhumans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are strugglingto fall asleep at night. Previous studies have also indicatedthat milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.
