Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat (微信) without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name — phubbers (低头族).
Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie (自拍) in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.
Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “The neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.
But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.
It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.
1.For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Para. 2?
A. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.
B. To advertise the cartoon made by students.
C. To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.
D. To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.
2.Which of the following is NOT a risk(危险)a phubber may have?
A. His social skills could be affected.
B. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.
C. He will cause the destruction of the world.
D. He might get separated from his friends and family.
3.Which of the following may be the author’s attitude towards phubbing?
A. Supportive.B. Opposed.C. Optimistic.D. Objective.
4.What may the passage talk about next?
A. Advice on how to use WeChat.
B. People addicted to phubbing.
C. Measures to reduce the risks(危害) of phubbing.
D. Results of phubbing.

What's the most important thing in life?
People's answers vary greatly. For British scientist Robert Edwards, the answer is having a child. "Nothing is more special than a child," he told the BBC.
Edwards, the inventor of the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) technology—more commonly known as "test-tube (试管) baby" technology—passed away on April 10, 2013 at the age of 87.
"Edwards changed the lives of millions of ordinary people who now rejoice (高兴) in the gift of their own child," said Peter Braude, a professor at King's College London. "He leaves the world a much better place."
Edwards started his experiments as early as the 1950s, when he had just finished his PhD in genetics. At that time, much of the public viewed test-tube babies as "scary", according to Mark Sauer, a professor at Columbia University, US.
Edwards and his colleague Patrick Steptoe faced opposition from churches, governments and media, not to mention attacks from many of their fellow scientists. "People said that we should not play God and we should not interfere with nature," Edwards once told Times. He said that he felt "quite alone" at the time.
"But Edwards was a fighter, and he believed in what he was doing," said Sauer. Without support from the government, the two struggled to raise funds to carry on. And in 1968 they finally developed a method to successfully fertilize human eggs outside the body.
The first test-tube baby was born on July 25, 1978. Her name was Is Louise Brown. Despite people's safety concerns, Brown was just as healthy as other children.
"IVF had moved from vision to reality and a new era in medicine had begun," BBC commented.
Ever since then, public opinion has evolved considerably. Couples who were unable to have babies began thronging (拥向) to Edwards' clinic. Nowadays, Reuters reports, some 4.3 million other "test-tube" children exist. Edwards received a Nobel Prize in 2010 and was knighted (封为爵士) by Queen Elizabeth in the following year.
Before his death, Edwards was still in touch with Louise. "He is like a granddad to me," she said in an interview with the Daily Mail.
He is a granddad to millions, in fact.
1.What’s the article mainly about?
A. The first test-tube baby.
B. A new era in medicine.
C. The inventor of IVF technology.
D. The changes IVF technology has brought.
2.The writer mentioned Peter Braude to ________.
A. show how difficult it was for Edwards to do his work
B. describe what kind of person Edwards was
C. explain why he is loved by all children
D. comment on his achievement
3.The underlined word "opposition" in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to "________"
A. attackB. supportC. testD. influence
4.What is the correct order of events in Edwards' life?
a. He received a Nobel Prize.
b. He struggled to raise funds.
c. The first test-tube baby was born.
d. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II.
e. He succeeded in fertilizing human eggs outside body.
f. He started his experiments on IVF technology.
A. f-e-b-c-a- d B. f-b-e-c-d-a

Lost in the Post
How would you feel if the letter you penned carefully and posted to your favorite star ended up in the recycling bin? That's where unopened fan mail sent to singer Taylor Swift was found in Nashville. ___1.___
Swift’s management said it was an accident, but dealing with piles of letters is a burden for most public figures. According to the BBC reporter Jon Kelly, at the height of his fame, Johnny Depp was said to receive up to 10,000 letters a week. ___2.___
The dawn of the digital age in which public figures with a Twitter account can be messaged directly has made the process easier. The White House says it deals with 20,000 messages addressed to President Barack Obama each day.
Some celebrities don’t want letters. In 2008, Beatles drummer Ringo Starr said that he would throw them out because he was too busy. ___3._ Robert Pattinson, star of the Twilight films, claims that he reads tonnes and tonnes of letters from fans, which takes up almost all his free time.
Many artists, however, outsource(外包) the task of opening, reading and replying. Sylvia “Spanky” Taylor, 58, has run a service in California that does just that since 1987. __4.__ Most letters are simply declarations of affection and admiration, she says. A few ask for money. A small number contain threats which require her to contact the celebrity’s security team and law enforcement.
The biggest problem for Taylor is working out how to deal with the correspondence(通信). Presents such as soft toys are sent to local hospitals, and most of the letters just get shredded and recycled.
__5.___ For some, this is enough, according to Lynn Zubernis, an expert at West Chester University. She says that the relationship between fan and celebrity may exist only in the mind of the former but it comes from a deeply-rooted human need for community.
A. This incident has caused a wide public concern about how the public figures deal with the letters or mails from the fans.
B. She and her staff deal with up to 20,000 items of mail a month on behalf of 26 celebrities
C. Accordingly, the correspondence problem has been difficult for the computer to automate.
D. Typically, correspondence is acknowledged by a photo with a printed “signature”.
E. How could he have enough time to skim through these letters one by one?
F. In fact, there is no alternative to deal with the problem.
G. Others do attempt to get through it themselves.

Chinese car makers have narrowed the quality gap with their foreign rivals in the world’s largest vehicle market to the smallest level in seven years, according to research.
But the improvements have not been enough to see an obvious drop in the market share for local car companies this year, raising questions about their ability to be global competitors.
The annual quality survey of China’s car market by J.D. Power, a Californian market research company, tracks the number of mechanical and design problems reported per 100 vehicles by more than 21,000 Chinese drivers.
It documented 131 problems per 100 domestic(国内的) vehicles, compared with 95 per 100 foreign vehicles. The 36-point gap was the narrowest in the study’s seven-year history. When China overtook the US as the world’s largest car maker in the 2009, the gap between domestic and foreign cars was 145 points. “It’s evidence to the improvements that domestic brands have been making,” said Geoff Broderick, head of J.D. Power’s operations. “By 2018 the domestic and the global brands will be equal in terms of quality.”
Despite the steady improvement in quality, local vehicle makers have been performing poorly this year. According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, domestic brand’s share of the market for cars—not including SUVs—has fallen from about 25 percent to 20 percent.
“Chinese customers are very picky in the world because they have been trained to distrust products,” said Mr Broderick, citing scandals(丑闻) affecting baby milk powder and toys.
“They go into a situation expecting there could be quality issues, whereas in the West we trust the brands.
1.What was the gap between Chinese vehicles and foreign vehicles in 2016?
A. 131 points.B. 145 points.C. 95 points.D. 36 points.
2.The data in the fourth paragraph shows that ________.
A. the market share of the domestic cars has dropped
B. the quality of domestic vehicles have been improved
C. China’s cars have many mechanical and design problems
D. J.D. Power has done many surveys in the past seven years
3.J.D. Power is ________.
A. a name of a company
B. a car maker
C. a head of an association
D. a milk brand
4.According to what Mr. Broderick said in the last two paragraphs, we can learn that ________.
A. Chinese car market will be optimistic as is expected
B. Chinese and western consumers have different attitudes to products
C. he doesn’t like Chinese customers because they don’t trust products
D. it is easier for China’s car companies to sell cars to the West

科目:高中英语 来源:2017届河南豫南九校高三上期末质量考评英语试卷(解析版) 题型:阅读理解
Children grow quickly, especially their feet, but many families cannot buy new shoes each time a child needs them. As a result, about 300 million children around the world go barefoot. Those children risk picking up diseases and parasites from the soil.
An American man may have a solution for those barefoot kids — a shoe that grows with the child. Kenton Lee is the creator of The Shoe That Grows. He explains how the shoe works and how it is able to last so long.
“It grows in three places: the front; it can also grow on the side with Velcro; and on the back with our buckle. It can last up to five years. The bottom is compressed rubber like tire rubber. The top is just high-quality leather.” The shoe comes in two sizes: small that fits children aged 4 to 9 and large for children aged 9 to 14.
Lee says he got the idea for the shoe while working as a volunteer in an orphanage in Kenya. “… and there was a little girl in a white dress walking next to me. And I just remember looking down and seeing how small her shoes were. They were just way too small for her feet. They were so small that she had to cut open the front of her shoes to let her toes stick out. And I just remember thinking, wouldn't it be nice if there were a pair of shoes that could grow with her feet?”
However, Lee says it was not easy to turn his idea into a reality. “I kept writing down I should do this because of this or because of that. All these reasons why it really was important for me to try to make the shoes that could grow and try to help.” Finally, in 2009 Lee founded a non-profit organization called Because International. In the office of Because International, Lee keeps a pair of his own shoes to help him remember his promise. “I told myself I would not get new shoes until the idea was done. So, those are the shoes that I wore for a little over five years.”
1.Which of the following is the characteristic of the newly invented shoes?
A. They are more expensive.
B. They are not so comfortable.
C. They can grow with a child.
D. They come in different sizes.
2.Who is this kind of newly invented shoes intended for?
A. All the teenagers.
B. Children aged 4 to 14.
C. Middle-aged women in Africa.
D. Senior citizens with low income.
3.What does Para. 4 mainly talk about?
A. How the shoes work.
B. How Lee got his inspiration.
C. How to make the new shoes.
D. Where to order this kind of shoes.
4.Why does Kenton Lee keep a pair of his own shoes in the office?
A. To remind him of his promise.
B. To copy the design of them.
C. To get a change conveniently.
D. To use them as an example.
