10、 he will talk about it 19 . Some people argue that it is because the British weather 20 follows forecast and thus becomes a source of interest to everyone. This may be so.

Very often traditional greetings are 25 by comments on the weather. “Nice day, isnt it?” “Be

12、autiful day!” may well be heard instead of “Good morning, how are you?”. 26 the foreigner may consider this exaggerated (夸大) and comic, it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used to his 27 . If he wants to start a conversation with a British but is 28 to know where to begin, he could do wel

There is a piece of good news that a technology company is developing a lie detector app for smart phones that coul

25、d be used by parents, teachers and Internet daters. The app measures blood flow in the face to assess whether or not you are telling the truth. Its developers say that it could be used for Internet daters wanting to see if somebody really is interested in them. Parents could use it on their children

26、 to see if they are lying, and teachers could work out which pupils are truthful.The app is being developed by Toronto startup NuraLogix and the app is called Transdermal Optical Imaging. The idea is that different human feelings create different facial blood flow patterns that we have no control ov

27、er. These patterns change if we are telling the truth or telling a lie, using footage（一组镜头） from the smart phone camera, the app will see the changes in skin colour and compare them to standardized results.A study finds that anger is connected with more facial blood flow and redness while sadness is

28、 connected with less of both.Kang Lee, who has been researching the field for 20 years, said that the lie detector test will let you find out the truth remotely and secretly. He said: “It could be very useful, for example, for teachers. A lot of our students have math anxiety, but they do not want t

29、o tell us because thats embarrassing.”Lee added that the technology would not replace lie detectors used in a court of law. He said: They want the accuracy to be extremely high, like genetic tests-a one-in-a-million error rate. Our technique wont be able to achieve an extremely high accuracy level,

30、so because of that, I dont think its useful for the courts. He added that it will be a few years before the dating app is available to consumers.34. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The operation process of the app. B. The history of a technology company.C. The functions and applications

31、of the app. D. The origin and development of the new technology.35. What do we know about the app?A. Its accuracy is the same as genetic tests. B. It can help teachers pick out the honest pupils.C. It will help see the structures of human skin. D. It has been already on the market for a few years.36

32、. What can we learn from the text?A. The technology will be applied to the medical field.B. The technology will replace lie detectors in the court of law,C. Different human feelings have nothing to do with facial blood flow patterns.D. Sadness is related to less facial blood flow and redness when co

33、mpared with anger.37. What is the best title for the text?A. The Story about Kang Lee B. The Disadvantages of New TechnologyC. Various Smart Phones D. A Developing App for Smart PhonesCWe know the famous ones the Thomas Edisons and the Alexander Graham Bells but what about the less famous inventors?

34、 What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper（雨刮器）? Shouldnt we know who they are?Joan Mclean thinks so. In fact, Mclean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so strongly about this matter that shes developed a course on the topic. In additio

35、n to learning “who” invented “what”, however, Mclean also likes her students to learn the answers to the “why” and “how” questions. According to Mclean, “When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give i

36、nventing a try.”Her students agree. One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of Mclean statement. “If I had not heard the story of the windshield wipers invention,” said Tommy Lee, a senior physics major, “I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during

37、 a rainstorm into something so constructive.” Lee is currently negotiating to sell his patent（专利）to an umbrella producer.So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson

38、 still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldnt be a built-in device for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to

39、 Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started drafting out solutions. One of her ideas, a lever（操作杆）on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiper.Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations. Its hard to imagine driving without Garrett

40、A. Morgans traffic light. Its equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J. Blodgetts innovation that makes glass invisible. Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?38. By mentioning “traffic light” and “windshield wiper”, the author indicates that countless inventions

41、 are _.A. beneficial, because their inventors are famousB. beneficial, though their inventors are less famousC. not useful, because their inventors are less famousD. not useful, though their inventors are famous39. Professor Joan Mcleans course aims to _.A. add colour and variety to students campus

42、lifeB. inform students of the windshield wipers inventionC. carry out the requirements by Mountain UniversityD. prepare students to try their own invention40. Tommy Lees invention of the unbreakable umbrella was _.A. not eventually accepted by the umbrella producerB. inspired by the story behind the

43、 windshield wiperC. due to his dream of being caught in a rainstormD. not related to Professor Joan McLeans lectures41. Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?A. How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers?B. How to Design a Built-in Device for Cleaning the

44、 Window?C. Shouldnt We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper?D. Shouldnt We Develop Invention Courses in Universities?DWe live in a time when technology has enabled everyone to be a journalist, yet not everyone has the proper training. Whether out of ignorance or out of a sense of honor, some of th

45、e journalism online has done a better job of changing public opinion than showing the whole truth.Two recent stories are perfect reminders of the difference between the urge to change minds and basic journalism ethics（道德规范）.“A college kid took some birds from a nearby tree and was sentenced to 10 ye

46、ars in prison,” went a recent online headline from the Chinese Internet. The accompanying vote showed that 85 percent of respondents sided with the student. Some joked that most boys would be guilty of such a crime because everyone had stolen birds when they were children.Left out of the original re

47、port was the fact that the birds in question were falcons, which are on the nations list of protected, endangered species. Birdwatchers also said that it was unlikely Yan Xiaotian, the 21-year-old defendant, had found the 12 birds in one tree. For this particular species, he had to search a much lar

48、ger area. For me, the most important questions are: Did he know it was illegal before he took the birds and did he know that before he sold them?Follow-up reporting has found that the evidence showed that Yan knew what he was doing. The only point of uncertainty is the very first time he took the fi

49、rst birds when he could be unaware of their status and value. As a matter of fact, the prosecutor（检察官） started out asking for a light punishment, but took a U-turn when data from Yans cell phone clearly showed that he had stolen them.The punishment, while sounding harsh（残酷的）, followed the law almost

50、 to the letter. The court has since said it would review the case, a sign of giving in to public pressure.Lets look at the second story, which can be read as either “Elderly man had to walk in his shorts for hours in Sanya after his bike was taken by the citys quasi-police” or “Retired official ille

51、gally parked his bike for a swim and made the city apologize and fire a low-paid city management staff member”.Both played up different parts of the same story. For me, Bi Guochangs age and former official title are not relevant to the case. The key is whether he indeed parked his bike illegally and

52、 whether proper procedures were being followed by taking it away and making him get it back. Yet the reports focused on the image of an old man walking only in his shorts. He could have phoned his family for backup（支持）or taken a taxi home first before complaining, as most would do in that situation.

53、Such stories read like badly-written morality tales, with everything in black and white and a simple yes-or-no message. Real life is much more complicated. Reporters have to be neutral and avoid taking sides too early.42. Why was Yan Xiaotian sentenced to 10 years in prison?A. He took some birds fro

54、m a nearby tree. B. He searched a much larger area for birds.C. He illegally took some falcons and sold them. D. He took 12 birds without knowing they were falcons.43. According to the passage, the writer implied that _. .A. the judges should still follow the law strictly B. the punishment was too m

55、uch for the studentC. the student didnt get fair treatment from the judges D. the court will resentence the student44. The writer mentioned the second story to show that _. .A. the reports focused on the appearance of Bi Guochang rather than the truthB. the journalists expressed their sympathy for t

56、he elderly personC. the local officers didnt follow proper procedures when they dealt with Bis caseD. the citys quasi-police were to blame for Bis troubles45. What is the main idea of the passage?A. There is an urgent need to improve current journalism ethics.B. Everyone can be a good journalist eve

57、n without proper training in journalism.C. Journalists should remain neutral and have basic ethics.D. Journalists can change the publics opinions.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Exam taking is a tiring process. 46 Sometimes you have to pay much attention to

58、 the books and try to put everything into your brain. Other times, though, you just dont know what to do with the loads of lessons to study about. Here are some tips on better preparing for a test.MotivateFirst you should motivate yourself. 47 Give yourself some positive goals, like setting the mood

59、 (情绪)for it. After all, if you are not emotionally prepared, you wouldnt expect yourself to be mentally and physically prepared for the test as well.Memorize 48 Doing this can be useful especially if you have lots of concepts to remember. Every day make it a point to memorize at least ten terms or i

60、deas. As the days succeed, all ten concepts for every item you have mastered.Take NotesIf you have the materials, try to summarize them by listing down what you know in key points. 49 Reread your notes and try to recall(回忆起)how they were discussed by your professor. Look for a review partner because

61、 studying by yourself might eventually result in laziness.Remember that reviewing allows you to recount the lessons and process them more systematically. Give yourself enough time in studying, and beat the nervousness. 50 A. Reviewing is useless if your heart is not into it.B. It will help you find

62、test-taking techniques.C. Preparing for it is even more challengingD. After motivating yourself, check how reliable your memory is.E. You might find it more comfortable studying in the library than at your own home.F. When you know you have studied well, you wouldnt have to worry about taking the te
