10、读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AWhen youre on the go, your best friend and resource can be your phone. In the age of smart phones, apps are like guiding stars: They can point you in the right direction for a hotel, list expenses, send post
11、cards, 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. NewsTravelhas picked the essential travel apps, known for their utility and reliability. Best of all, they cost absolutely
12、nothing.Trip ItYour Personal Travel AgentBe your own travel agent and plan every detail of your tripfrom car rental to accommodating restaurantswithTrip 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.
13、Weather FreeYour Go-To Meteorologist(气象学者)Stop trying to explain the weather forecast on the evening news (particularly when its in a foreign language). TheWeather Freeapp informs you (in English) of the climate in various locations. It features the local weather, and other key factors that will inf

This app pinpoints(定位) the neighborhood hot spots (including museums, hotels, eateries, and more) in your nei
15、ghborhood. But its true value comes in finding nearby events. Youll discover concerts, plays, and more right around the corner.21. What is the advantage of using travel apps picked by the U.S. NewsTravel? A. They can solve any problem you come across.B. They reduce your travel budget. C. They exerci
16、se 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 car B. decide what to wear C. look for a friend while traveling D. find the nearby museums 23. Where are the readers likely to read
17、the passage above? A. In a geography textbook B. In a science and technology magazine C. On a popular website D. In a business reportBWe live in a judgment world where people are quick to point out the faults and imperfections of others yet seem unaware of their own. Some misguided souls believe the
18、y have a civil duty to help you to be a better person by telling you what a failure you really are first and then offering suggestions as to how you can improve.So what is the solution to criticism? If you are the one forcing others to feel ashamed of themselves, STOP. Make a conscious decision that
19、 rather than focus on the negative aspect of a persons performance or attitudes, youll offer helpful suggestions from the get-go. If Im painting out living room and making a mess in doing so, I would like my husband to say to me, “This is a tough job. Can I offer a suggestion that might make it easi
20、er for you?” rather than having him point out what a sloppy painter I am and tell me how I should be doing it.If you are on the receiving end of criticism, the “OK” response is a perfect solution. When someone comments negatively on a task you are doing or a personality issue, a natural response is
21、to defend and attack. However, this approach is rarely effective as it puts both parties on the defensive. Instead, simply reply with “OK”. This brief one-word response acknowledges the other persons comment without agreeing with it or feeling necessary to engage in a debate about it.It is important
22、 to remain emotionally attached to what the other person is saying, to listen without feeling, to be an objective observer. There is much that one can learn from a negative review. You can ask yourself: Did I make a mistake? Could I have done better? Did I give 100% of myself to the task at hand? If
23、 so, how can I improve? As for chronic(习惯性的）criticizers: It is important to set strict boundaries with them. Remove yourself from their presence when necessary.In any event, one can learn to be “OK” with criticism and not allow it to negatively impact their life or relationship with the other party.
24、 Examine it for any potential truths, and then let it go and just be “OK”.24. What does the underlined word “sloppy” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Lazy.B. Creative. C. Careless.D. Energetic.25. What does the author want to show by using the example of painting?.A. Nobody is perfect.B. The art of criticizin
25、g.C. The value of suggestions.D. Her husband cared about her.26. What is the best way to respond when yu are criticized by a person?A. Just say “OK”.B. Defend yourself.C. Ignore the comment.D. Simply say “Thank you”.27. You are told to ask yourself some questions in Paragraph 4 so as to _.A. take cr
26、iticism objectivelyB. learn from others mistakesC. better present negative reviewsD. have more confidence in yourselfC Windows 8, apart from Windows 95, is the biggest surprise and the only version of Microsofts operating system that has been changed from the core（核心）when compared to its former one.
27、 However, a recent study has shown that under 20% of business owners would be willing to upgrade to the new version of Windows. The reason for this remains to be discussed and debated, and we will try to throw light on this research by providing you with some of the most common advantages and disadv
28、antages of Windows 8.Generally speaking, there are a great number of plus sides related to upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8. SpeedThis is the biggest advantage to mention. Boot time has been reported to be up to nine times shorter than that with Windows 7.New passwordsInstead of typing your pas
29、swords, Windows 8 will let you use gestures on your favorite photos to enter your password. This is not only practical but also extremely cool!Windows 8 experienceApart from computers, Windows 8 will be used on all devices, including smart phones, tablet PCs and so on. Also, owing to the fact that i
30、t has been specifically designed with touch screen users in mind, Windows 8, besides using keyboard and mouse, will offer a whole new user experience.However, there are still some disadvantages.The first one that has to be mentioned is that there is no Start Menu from Windows. Yes, there is no Start
31、 button in the lower left corner, and this might be a real puzzle of many Windows users. Also, many users have had a problem to get used to the new interface（界面）introduced by Windows 8. The biggest problem that is worth noticing is that Windows 8 was originally designed for touch screen users, and t
32、his may have a bad effect on desktop users who have gotten used to doing everything with the help of their keyboard and mouse.28. What does “plus sides” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to? A. Math symbols. B. New rules. C. Strengths. D. Messages.29. According to the text the greatest advantage of Wind
33、ows 8 is its _.A. high speedB. complex passwordsC. unique experienceD. new interface30. From the text we can learn that Windows 8 _.A. no longer requires a passwordB. can be used on more than computers C. will be popular with desktop usersD. was upgraded from windows 9531. Many Windows 8 users face
34、the problem that _.A. Start Menu is hidden in the lower left cornerB. they dont get accustomed to the new interface C. keyboard and mouse cant be used any longerD. they have to use fingerprints instead of buttonD A years-long effort to reproduce 100 studies published in three leading psychology jour
35、nals has found that more than half of the findings were not entirely convincing when retested. The analysis was done by research psychologists and their conclusions were reported Thursday in the journal Science. The study shows that what scientists were afraid of is true. They have long worried that
36、 the field needed a strong correction.The project began in 2011 with University of Virginia psychology professor Brian Nosek and his team working with more than 250 researchers. They strictly redid the experiments of the 100 studies published in 2008, with the help from the original authors.More tha
37、n 60 studies did not hold up. But the new analysis found no evidence of fraud(欺骗）or that any original study was completely false. Rather, it concluded that the evidence for most published findings was not nearly as strong as originally claimed.Nosek said the study is a reminder that a single study r
38、arely provides final answers and why scientists often greet new findings by saying,”More research is needed.”“Any one study is not going to be the last word. Each study has some evidence. It offers some information towards a conclusion. But the real conclusion, when you can say confidently that some
39、thing is true or false, is based on enough evidence over many studies,” said Nosek.And yes, he said at a news conference in New York: “Even this project itself is not a conclusive word.”The highly-competitive culture across science now favors novel results and provides little incentive（刺激）for resear
40、chers to replicate（复证）findings of others， or for journals to publish studies that fail to find a big and attractive result. “We see this as a call to action, both to the research community to do more replication, and to funders and journals to address the incentives,” said Nosek.The act of double-ch
41、ecking another scientists work has been divisive. Many senior researchers feel bitter about the fact that an outsider with less expert knowledge would evaluate work that often has taken years of study to complete.32. What can we learn about the study published Thursday? A. It was completed in three
42、years. B. It has confirmed scientists fears. C. It has involved 250 original authors. D. Its findings were reported in three journals.33. What did Nosek find out about the 100 studies? A. More than half of the studies evidence was weak. B. Some researchers have been involved in fraud. C. A large par
43、t of the studies were reliable. D. Many conclusions were totally false.34.Why did Nosek say the underlined sentence “Even this.conclusive word”?A. He thought the project would find more answers.B. He thought new findings would support the project.C.he thought the project had led to a wrong conclusio
44、n.D. He thought final answers should be from enough research,35. What was the senior researchers attitude to Noseks project? A. Tolerant.B. Disapproving. C. Uncaring. D. Doubtful. 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。It was the First day of school，1961. Five-year-old Mae Ca
