10、 it because we had nothing to do, living in a small town.” “Id check different websites for the hottest songs, and Id record my own videos,” he explains. “Thats how people began to find me online.”His videos got millions of hits and he signed with a record company. The result was the release of Aust
11、ins first album, Junior Year. While it seems like a sudden rise for the teenager, Austin admits the early days were not always fun. He says a lot of people thought badly of him for posting his videos online. Yet this didnt put him off.“I kept working hard. ”And the hits on his videos kept coming. Au
12、stins achievement and spirit make him a perfect fit for the message of We Day. After all, Free the Children, the creator of the event, was founded to “enable youth to make changes.” Even Austins unusual rise by way of the Internet fits with the way Free The children works and raises money. Because o
13、f Austin, his four million followers will learn about Free the Children. While Austins presence certainly helps We Day, its good for him, too.

17、n.No matter what your vacation destination is, you will need to take the climate into consideration. If you are visiting a tropical location, you will need to bring along the appropriate clothing. While you may be expecting warm and sunny weather, it is still advised that you prepare for the worst.
18、Raincoats and an umbrella may be a great addition to your summer clothing.Perhaps, the most popular summer vacation destination is the beach.

24、 part of your body? A global survey has found that most people cant live without their mobiles, never leave home without them and, if given a choice, would rather lose their wallet.Calling mobile phones the remote control for life, market research firm Synovates poll said cell phones are so ubiquito
25、us that by last year more humans owned one than did not.Three-quarters of the more than 8,000 respondents polled online in 11 countries said they take their phone with them everywhere, with Russians and Singaporeans the most attached.More than a third also said they couldnt live without their phone,
26、 topped by Taiwanese and again Singaporeans, while one in four would find it harder to replace the mobile than their purse.Some two-thirds of respondents go to bed with their phones nearby and cant switch them off, even though they want to, because theyre afraid theyll miss something.Mobiles give us
27、 safety, security and instant access to information. They are the number one tool of communication for us, sometimes even surpassing face-to-face communication. They are our connections to our lives, Jenny Chang, Synovates managing director in Taiwan, said in a statement.Mobiles have also changed th
28、e nature of relationships, with the survey finding nearly half of all respondents use text messages to flirt, a fifth set up first-dates via text and almost the same number use the same method to end a love affair.Apart from the obvious calling and texting, the top three features people use regularl
29、y on their mobile phones globally are the alarm clock, the camera and the games.As for email and Internet access, 17 percent of respondents said they checked their inboxes or surfed the Web on their phones, led by those in the United States and Britain. One in 10 respondents log onto social networki
30、ng websites such as Facebook and MySpace regularly via mobile, again led by Britain and the United States. As the mobile becomes more and more an all-in-one device, many other businesses are facing challenging times. The opportunities for mobile manufacturers and networks however are enormous, said
31、Synovates global head of media, Steve Garton.Not everyone is tech savvy, however: 37 percent of respondents said they dont know how to use all the functions on their phone.28. According to the passage, the top two regular functions of mobile phones may be .A. camera and game B. calling and texting C
32、. email and callingD. surfing and texting29. According to Jenny Chang, why is cell phone important for people?A. There are many functions on their phones.B.

34、e phones as the “remote control” for life.31.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean?A. rare B. special C. interesting D. common D Square dancing is a form of entertainment and physical exercise, which is a good thing. However, a group of senior Chinese ladies dancing in New Yorks Sunset P
35、ark were recently faced with noise complaints from nearby residents. The local court even served a summons (传票) related to a certain Ms. Wang.The news soon caused heated discussion across China, with many believing the incident to involve a cultural conflict between the East and West,while others vi
36、ew it as a form of discrimination against Chinese in the United States.The United States is a diverse society, and in many cases, Chinese dancers are tolerated and even appreciated.Meanwhile, the United States is a society based on the rule of law, and due to cultural differences, local regulations
37、seem to be very different from those in China. As a result, some old Chinese ladies dancing in New Yorks Sunset Park found themselves caught in an embarrassing situation. Locals and immigrants from other nations view such noise as a violation of their right to enjoy tranquility. Calling the police i
38、s regarded as the most efficient way to solve such a problem.Before, these ladies probably did not understand local customs and rules. However, since the incident took place, they should perhaps know a little better next time and keep the noise to a minimum. People from different nations are often s
39、upposed to reach compromises, respecting and tolerating each other. Whatever your choice of entertainment, it is important not to affect other peoples lives. Square dancing is only one of many activities during which people should mind their behavior.As for U.S. police practice, there might still be
40、 some room for improvement. Some were said to be rather rude, leading to the so-called “racial discrimination,” which is a sensitive topic in U.S. society.If the involved parties could be more tolerant, and solve such problems without involving the court, perhaps immigrants would mix more.32.The wri
41、ter mentions the incident in Paragraph 1 to _.

Keep the noise lower.35.Whats the writers attitude towards senior Chinese ladies dancing in New Yorks Sunset Park? A. He thinks all parties involved should be more tolerant. B. H
43、e strongly supports the action of the local police. C. He considers it a shame for senior Chinese ladies to do so. D. He suggests such kind of problem should be solved in the court. 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。Be an inventor The biggest secret about inventing is th
44、at anybody can do it! Perhaps this sounds crazy, but its true. Maybe you have the wrong idea about inventing, so read on to discover the truth. Wrong idea number 1: 36 Well, inventing means creating something “new”, but the idea could come from something that already exists. 37 Wrong idea number 2:
45、Inventors are born, not made. There are a lot of factors that make invention possible. Take Mozart, for example. He was born with a special talent for music. 38 His father was a music teacher, and Mozart practiced for hours every day, from the time he was in kindergarten . 39 Very successful creator
46、s dont give up when they get something wrong. As one inventor said, “A failure is the right answer to the wrong question!” Wrong idea number 3: Inventors are always old people. 40 Here is an example of a young inventor: Louis Braille went blind when he was a child.
