小题1:C
解析 本段第一句话句意为:在这个数字世界,独处几乎是不存在的。所以本句表达的意思是有了电子邮件、社会网络等这些通讯工具,信息意味着被互相分享(share)。update更新;receive得到,收到;collect收集。
小题2: C
解析 一旦你放弃了独处,那么就很难再找回来。此处用连词once引导条件状语从句,符合语境。though尽管,引导让步状语从句;until直到,引导时间状语从句;before在……之前,引导时间状语从句,均不符合上下文语境。
小题3: B
解析 新技术应是塑造(shape)而不是尊重(respect)、忽视(ignore)或保护(preserve)我们的文化。
小题4: C
解析 既然想与他人有联系,那自然就会结束独处的境地。bring sth.to an end使……结束,为固定表达。
小题5: D
解析 在这个网络相连的世界,找到一个人是如此容易。此处用reachable(可获得的,可达到的)来表示人很容易被找到。sensitive敏感的;intelligent聪明的,有才智的;considerate体贴的体谅的。
小题6: A
解析 由空格前的one can often be contacted(一个人经常会被联系到)与空格后的they’d rather not be可知,空格处应表示“即使,尽管”(even if)。
小题7: B
解析 我们能交谈、发短信、发电子邮件、聊天和写博客,除了能用手机做到之外,当然就是电脑(computer)了。
小题8: D
解析 既然大多数发达国家习惯了这种数字技术,所以人们就变得依赖它们。become dependent on为固定搭配,意为“变得依赖/依靠”。
小题9: B
解析 在这种情况下,不使用(using)数字技术则使他们显得像旁观者、局外人。本处为动名词短语作主语。
小题10: A
解析 除了上文提到的人们已经习惯了数字技术外,许多工作和职业也(also)需要人们互相联系。
小题11:A
解析 许多工作和职业也需要人们互相联系(to be connected)。其他选项用在此处句意不通顺。
小题12: C
解析 空格后提到的是那些不想被联系到的人,所以being reachable对他们来说自然就是一种负担(burden)。
小题13: D
解析 独处仍然是可能的自然是对那些真正(really)想要独处的人来说的。slightly稍微地,hardly几乎不,merely仅仅。
小题14: B
解析 想要独处,可把电脑关掉,手机也可关掉。shut down关闭,符合语境。shut out不让……进入;shut up住口;监禁;shut in把……关在房内。
小题15: C
解析 由空格后的关键词as well as disadvantages可知,应填advantages(有利条件)。
小题16: B
解析 游客们在山中迷路(lost),正是手机救了他们的命。如果说是游客们藏(hidden)在或被抛弃(deserted)在山中,则不合常理。
小题17: A
解析 本段提到“被联系上”既有有利条件又有不利条件,上句“手机救了很多人的命”是有利条件,此处指不利条件,当人们被逼无奈回电话或回复信息时,他们会感到陷入困境。trapped陷入困境的,受到限制的。
小题18: D
解析 由上题解析可知此处表示“回复信息”。reply to为固定搭配,意为“回复”。
小题19: A
7解析 根据后面的Some...Others...可知人们对待“被联系”的态度不同。vary变化。
小题20: D
解析 此处表示尽管人们的态度不同,但是很难想象没有(without)科技进步的生活会是什么样子。

Maybe you love them and want to pet every one you see.Or maybe you’re afraid of them and want to move to a dog­free neighborhood.Either way,dogs are a part of life.Millions of people have dogs as pets.You’ll see them all over town,in the city,country,and even when you’re on vacation.
Like many kinds of pets—no matter how small or cute they are—dogs need to be respected as animals that,under certain conditions,could hurt you.Nearly 5 million dog bites happen every year in the United States.No one wants a dog bite,but how do you prevent one?
One dog expert has come up with an easy way for kids to remember some tips to prevent dog bites.It spells “DOG SAFE”.
Don’t tease,please:Teasing a dog can make it angry enough to bite.For instance,if a dog has food or a toy,never try to take it away.You wouldn’t like it if someone took your snack(点心) while you were eating it!
Only pet with permission:Never pet a dog without asking the owner if it’s OK.Some dogs don’t like to be touched by strangers.
Give space:Little kids especially might run right up to a lovely dog and try to pet it or give it a hug.But dogs need space.Crowding a dog can frighten or anger the dog.
Slow down:Some dogs like to chase(追逐) and bite.Of course,you don’t want to be chased or bitten!The way to avoid it is to go slow around dogs.Never run toward them or away from them.If a dog you don’t know runs toward you,freeze.If you need to get away,back up slowly.
Always get help:You may want to bring home a dog that seems lost or injured.But animals who are lost or injured may be very frightened or in pain.Find a grown­up instead who can decide how to care for the animal.
Fingers together:When feeding a dog a treat,put the treat in the palm of your hand and keep your fingers and thumb close together.Why?The dog is less likely to get confused about which is the treat—the doggie snack or your finger!
Even good dogs can bite:Some people are very surprised when their dog bites someone,but all dogs can bite.Avoid doing things that make dogs scared or angry,such as backing them into a corner or bothering them when they are sleeping.
小题1:The purpose of the text is to ________.
A.help kids avoid being bitten by dogs

With limited pocket money in hand,many Chinese college students are increasingly opting to live life “low cost”.One way to save money is team­buying.Online team­buying offers huge discounts and becomes popular on campus.
Li Jing,a student at China Youth University for Political Sciences,for example,says she often buys movie tickets on team­buying websites.But while they offer a good opportunity to save money,Li said she would “think twice before buying them from online stores”.Because many of them are “a bit chaotic (混乱的)”,and have fake goods mixed among them.Then why don’t the students just earn more pocket money by taking up part­time jobs?Guo Na,a teacher at the Communication University of China,said most college students were unlikely to choose work­study programs to earn pocket money because of their intensive study schedules.
A kind of card called “VELO” has become another ideal choice for many money savers.It provides all­round discounts while dining out or shopping in general.Cao Zuyang,a student at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China,often searches for sales online and buys things together with friends to cut down on costs.Cao once wanted to buy an electro­magnetic oven (电磁炉),which was on sale at a shopping website.He then asked five dormitory roommates to pitch in for the oven.Each student only paid 25 yuan.
Most students find it difficult to deal with the expense of accommodation while traveling.So they choose to travel to cities where they have friends and live in their dorms.For instance,Ge Rui,a student at the Hebei University of Technology,has been to many cities where he has friends.“Friends can act as free guides,offer me free accommodation,give me valuable tour information,and broaden my mind at the same time,” he said.He also had friends from other cities coming over and living with him when they visited his city.
小题1:What does the writer mainly tell us?
A.The ways of saving money on campus.

D.How to choose a city to travel.
小题2:Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Li Jing is a student from China Youth University for Electronic Sciences.
B.Most college students earn more pocket money by taking up part­time jobs.
C.It’s not a good idea to ask five roommates to buy one oven together.
D.You should think twice before buying something from online stores.

Three engineers and three accountants (会计) are traveling by train to a conference.At the station,the three accountants each buy tickets and watch as the three engineers buy only a single ticket.
“How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?” asks an accountant.“Watch and you’ll see,” answers an engineer.They all board the train.The accountants take their respective seats but all three engineers cram into a restroom and close the door behind them.
Shortly after the train has departed,the conductor comes around collecting tickets.He knocks on the restroom door and says,“Ticket,please.” The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand.The conductor takes it and moves on.
The accountants see this and agree it is quite a clever idea.So after the conference,the accountants decide to copy the engineers on the return trip and save some money.When they get to the station they buy a single ticket for the return trip.

If you want to see climate change, head north and keep going until you run out of globe. That is easier said than done. The Arctic (北极) is home to few people and covered in ice much of the year. But those who make their way to the icy seas of the Arctic Ocean will see a part of the planet that is warming and changing faster than anywhere else.
In September, scientists announced at the National Snow and Ice Data (数据) Center that Arctic summer sea ice had fallen to its second lowest level since 1979, and probably long before that. The Arctic has lost an area of ice greater than the area of all U.S. states east of the Mississippi River. And what ice remains appears to be getting thinner and weaker.
Nick Toberg and Till Wagner are polar ice scientists who are doing sea ice fieldwork. “There is plenty of data to suggest that the ice is becoming thinner as well as smaller in area,” they say.
The changes happening in the Arctic are a warning for the entire world .  As polar expert Walt
Meier puts it, “What happens in the Arctic doesn’t stay in the Arctic.”
Some scientists worry that Arctic sea ice may be going from a downward spiral (螺旋线) to a “death spiral”, one from which there is no escape. As more ice melts (融化), more dark open water appears. The darkness absorbs (吸收) more heat, which speeds up the pace of melting.
Until recently, many scientists thought it might take until the end of the century for the North Pole to become completely ice free during the summer. Now some believe it could happen by 2030 or even earlier. “The melting is happening faster in the real world than it has in the models,” says Nick Toberg.
小题1:The purpose of the first paragraph is to tell readers __________.
A.it’s difficult to arrive at the Arctic
B.it is too cold for people to live in the Arctic
C.what caused the climate change in the Arctic
D.we can see the most obvious climate change in the Arctic
小题2:From the second paragraph we can learn Arctic summer sea ice __________.
A.is still decreasing
B.began reducing in 1979
C.fell to its lowest level in September
D.is equal to the Mississippi River
小题3:What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.The changes don’t affect the Arctic at all.
B.The changes will only happen in the Arctic.
C.The changes happening in the Arctic will stop.
D.The changes will also affect other parts of the world.
小题4:Nick Toberg may agree that __________.
A.the ice in the North Pole will stop melting
B.the ice in the North Pole is melting faster than expected
C.the ice in the North Pole will melt before 2030 or even earlier
D.the ice in the North Pole will not disappear until the end of the century

Love is a telephone which always keeps silent when you are longing for a call, but rings when you are not ready for it. As a result, we often miss the sweetness from the other end.
Love is a telephone which is seldom program-controlled or directly dialed. You cannot get an immediate answer by a mere "hello", let alone go deep into your lover's heart by one call. Usually it had to be relayed by an operator, and you have to be patient in waiting. Destiny(命运) is the operator of this phone, who is always irresponsible and fond of playing practical jokes to which she may make you a lifelong victim intentionally or unintentionally.
Love is a telephone which is always busy, When you are ready to die for love, you only find, to your disappointment, the line is already occupied by someone else, and you are greeted only by a busy line. This is an eternal regret handed down from generation to generation and you are only one of those who languish for(因…受煎熬) followers.
Love is telephone, but it is difficult to seize the center time for dialing, and you will let the opportunity slip if your call is either too early or too late.
Love is a telephone which is not always associated with happiness. Honeyed words are transmitted by sound waves, but when the lovers are brought together, the phone serves no purpose that many lovers observe that marriage is the doom of love.
Love is a telephone which, when you use it for the first time, makes you so nervous and excited that you either hold the receiver upside down or dial the wrong number. By the time you've calmed down, you will beat a loss to whom you should make the call.
Love is a telephone which often has crossed lines. And this usually happens to you unexpectedly. Your time will either cross or be crossed. Both cases are referred to as "triangle". Fortunately, all such occurrences are transient(转瞬即逝的).
小题1:What is the best title of the passage?
A.Love is transient
B.Love is permanent
C.Love is a telephone
D.What’s love in life

Police fired tear gas and arrested more than 5,000 passively resisting protestors Friday in an attempt to break up the largest antinuclear demonstration ever staged in the United States. More than 135,000 demonstrators confronted police on the construction site of a 1,000-megawatt nuclear power plant scheduled to provide power to most of southern New Hampshire. Organizers of the huge demonstration said, the protest was continuing despite the police actions. More demonstrators were arriving to keep up the pressure on state authorities to cancel the project. The demonstrator had charged that the project was unsafe in the densely populated area, would create thermal pollution in the bay, and had no acceptable means for disposing of its radioactive wasters. The demonstrations would go on until the jails and the courts were so overloaded that the state judicial system would collapse.
Governor Stanforth Thumper insisted that there would be no reconsideration of the power project and no delay in its construction set for completion in three years. “This project will begin on time and the people of this state will begin to receive its benefits on schedule. Those who break the law in misguided attempts to sabotage the project will be dealt with according to the law,” he said. And police called in reinforcements from all over the state to handle the disturbances.
The protests began before dawn Friday when several thousand demonstrators broke through police lines around the cordoned-off construction site. They carried placards that read “No Nukes is Good Nukes,” “Sunpower, Not Nuclear Power,” and “Stop Private Profits from Public Peril.” They defied police order to move from the area. Tear gas canisters fired by police failed to dislodge the protestors who had come prepared with their own gas masks or facecloths. Finally gas-masked and helmeted police charged into the crowd to drag off the demonstrators one by one. The protestors did not resist police, but refused to walk away under their own power. Those arrested would be charged with unlawful assembly, trespassing, and disturbing the peace.
小题1:What were the demonstrators protesting about?
[A] Private profits.
[B]Nuclear Power Station.
[C] The project of nuclear power construction.
[D] Public peril.
小题2:Who had gas-masks?
[A] Everybody.
[B]A part of the protestors.
[C] Policemen.
[D] Both B and C.
小题3:.Which of the following was NOT mentioned as a reason for the demonstration?
[A] Public transportation.
[B]Public peril.
[C] Pollution.
[D] Disposal of wastes.
小题4:.With whom were the jails and courts overloaded?
[A] With prisoners.
[B]With arrested demonstrators.
[C] With criminals.
[D] With protestors.
小题5:What is the attitude of Governor Stanforth Thumper toward the power project and the demonstration?
