19、e really did look like a tourist, with a camera around his neck and a bottle of sunscreen cream sticking out of his bag. The fat man sat on the terrace（平台）, sipping lemonade and pretending to look at a tourism brochure. His sunglasses masked his eyes, but I knew he wasnt looking at the brochure: he
20、hadnt turned a page for the last ten minutes. As I brought him his dishes, he coughed up a “thank you” and looked at me briefly. I tried not to stare at the tiny scar across his left eyebrow. I walked back inside with my empty tray, shaking my head. He looked familiar, but I couldnt quite place him.
21、 Then it hit me. The car accident. The mysterious stranger who helped me out of my crashed car, just before it exploded. I rushed back to his table. He was gone. I moved his saucer and found his tip, along with a card: I am deeply grateful to you. The night of your car accident, I was on my way to r
22、ob a jewelry store. Saving your life brought things back in a right way. I now live an honest life, thanks to you. God bless you! Mr. D. I shivered（震颤）. The night of my car accident, I was heading for an interview in an illegal dance club. Seeing human kindness through his heroic gesture turned my l
23、ife around and brought faith back into my life. I unfolded the tip he left. Among the singles was a grand（一千块）with a pen mark underlining “In God We Trust”. I said a silent prayer for him and got back to work, smiling. 24. Why did the fat man look like a tourist? A. Because he used money not the sam
24、e as the locals. B. Because he carried what tourists usually have on. C. Because he didnt look like a native citizen. D. Because he ordered strange food and drinks. 25. How did the writer know the man didnt read the brochure? A. He was drinking all the time. B. He sat still with his sunglasses. C. T
25、he page remained unturned. D. He was staring at the writer. 26. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. They kept in touch with each other since then. B. The writer had been searching for the man. C. The man became a rich man years later. D. The writer didnt go to that interview. 27. What is t
26、heir attitude towards each other? A. Sympathetic. B. Grateful. C. Worried. D. Trusty. CEvery time we get on a plane, were asked to either turn off our phones or change them to flight mode its for “security reasons”. But according to The Conversation website, having to turn our phones off on a plane
27、is “a service issue, not a safety one”. When we speak on our phones in the air, they can cause interference to the aircrafts radios and pilots can hear this interference in their headphones. “Its the same noise youll be familiar with, if you put your mobile too close to a speaker,“ the Mirror noted.
28、 “It is not safety-critical, but is annoying for sure. ” Though speaking on a phone during a flight isnt dangerous, from the viewpoint of service, it isnt still a good idea. When we make or receive a call on the ground, we connect to a cell tower that deals with all calls within an 80-kilometer radi
29、us（半径）. As we move from place to place we are “handed on” to different cell towers. As US scientist Sven Bilen explains, for this system to work, there are “built-in” expectations: There shouldnt be too many “handoffs” and people shouldnt be traveling faster than car speeds. “Of course, phone users
30、should be close to the ground. ”he added. If we were to make phone calls while we flew, however, none of these expectations would be met. And even worse, our cellphones would stop working. But now things are beginning to change. If we still cant speak during a flight, we can use other phone function
31、s. For example, Airbus A330 of Emirates Airlines has inflight WiFi to make passengers send and receive short messages in the air. In the future, as Bilen points out, it may be possible for air travelers to make and receive calls freely. The breakthrough could be “pico cells“, which are small cell to
32、wers on the plane itself. There would no longer be connections made between phones and the ground and therefore there would be no danger of disturbance of phone service. One day, perhaps, we will be chatting in the air as much as we chat on the ground. 28. Why is making a phone call NOT allowed on a
33、 plane? A. Because it will pose a threat to their safety. B. Because it can guarantee a better service. C. Because it fails to be connected to the cell tower. D. Because it may cause annoying noise to pilots. 29. How many ”built-in“ expectations are mentioned to help make a call? A. One. B. Two. C.
34、Three. D. Four. 30. What can we infer from the passage? A. People need to travel slower than airplane speeds while phoning. B. Pico cells may contribute to free phone calls on a plane. C. Undisturbed phone service has been provided by airlines. D. Passengers can receive calls on Airbus A330 through
35、inflight WiFi. 31. Where is the text most likely from? A. A newspaper. B. An official document. C. A guidebook. D. A science fiction story. DAs every mobile-phone owner knows, after a year or so the battery starts to fade and the beast needs recharging more frequently. That is troublesome, but a pho
36、nes batteries can be replaced fairly cheaply or the whole device traded in for the latest model. An electric car, though, is a much bigger investment. And batteries are its priciest component, representing around 30% of an average mid-size vehicle. To provide buyers with some peace of mind, carmaker
37、s guarantee their batteries, typically for eight years or around 200, 000km. Producers, planning to go much further than that, though, are racing to launch “million mile”（1. 6m kilometers）batteries. Contemporary Amperex Technology, a giant Chinese firm which produces batteries for a number of carmak
38、ers, was said to be ready to start producing batteries which would last for 16 years or 2m kilometres. Elon Musk has suggested that Tesla, a Californian maker of electric vehicles, has a million-mile battery in the works. And over in Detroit, General Motors is in the final stages of developing an ad
39、vanced battery which it says has similar longevity（寿命）. Regular fast-charging reduces battery life, as do overcharging and deep discharging. Driving in extremely hot or cold weather does not help either. And battery life will diminish even if you just leave the car in the garage. The real point of a
40、 million-mile battery is that the technological advances required to make it possible will deal with these things as well. Battery technology is improving all the time, and by no means are million-mile batteries the limit of engineers ambition. The next objective is to replace Li-ions liquid electro
41、lytes（电解质）with solid ones. That would allow even longer driving ranges, which could make a two-million-mile battery an achievable objective. If that day comes, the tables would have been turned. From being the first part of a car to fail, its battery will have become the last. 32. The battery proble
42、m of mobile phones is mentioned to _.A. show electrical devices may have drawbacksB. stress the disturbing battery problem of carsC. call for investment in battery developmentD. compare the function of battery in devices33. What do we know about the million-mile battery plan? A. It is eagerly antici
43、pated by car consumers. B. It is aimed to save repair cost for customers. C. It targets the longevity of 8 years and above. D. It has drawn the interest of many enterprises. 34. What does the author think is the focus of developing the million-mile battery? A. Exploring new materials to construct ba
44、tteries. B. Guiding users on how to maintain the battery. C. Addressing factors that decrease battery life. D. Researching the principle of battering aging. 35. What does the author think of the future of car batteries? A. Promising. B. Unpredictable. C. Concerning. D. Unlimited. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分

We all know shopping is torturing men, who painfully stand behind their girlfriends or wives until they are done with their shopping, and affecting the bank balance. 36 The next time you go to a mall, an

When we go shopping, we feel good about ourselves and the place. 37 And it literally is a way to release stress for most women. Shopping releases hormone

64、the cooking supplies in the shiny steel kitchen. Her family had just moved here from San Francisco, having bought a small restaurant, which was set to open in the next few days. “Moving here was a dumb idea,” Sophia grumbled（嘟囔）, mostly to herself. The girl had been joyless about the move, but her p
65、arents had made the decision and were now too busy getting ready for the grand opening to listen to her complaints. The first few days at her new school hadnt been easy, either. She found it hard to talk to people she didnt know, and it seemed like the students hadnt even noticed her. Sophia sighed
66、and got back to washing dishes. On the day of the grand opening, Sophias parents were all smiling, welcoming customers into the restaurant, brightly decorated in gold and red. Even Sophia was in a good mood as she rushed around, seating guests, handing out menus, and pouring tall glasses of water. T
