【题目】阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
In South Korea smartphone cases come with rings fixed on the back 【1】 (prevent) clumsy owners from dropping them. This makes people look like they are married to their phones. In lots of Seoul’s coffee 【2】 (shop), couples on dates spend much more time looking at their screens 【3】 at each other. The results go beyond the 【4】 (potential) terrible consequences for romance.
Walk around the streets of Seoul, and there is 【5】 real risk of bumping into people 【6】 eyes are glued to their smartphone screens. According to the statistics, around 370 traffic accidents annually 【7】 (cause) by pedestrians using smartphones.
The government initially tried to fight the “smombie” (手机僵尸) phenomenon by distributing hundreds of stickers (贴纸) around cities, 【8】 (beg) people to “be safe” and look up. This seems to have had little effect even though, in Seoul at least, it recently replaced the stickers with stronger plastic boards.
Instead 【9】 appealing to people’s good sense, the authorities have therefore turned to trying to save them from being run over. Early last year, they 【10】 (begin) to test floor-level traffic lights in smombie hotspots in central Seoul. Since then, the experiment has been extended around and beyond the capital. For the moment, the government is keeping old-fashioned eye-level pedestrian lights as well. But in future, the way to look at a South Korea crossroads may be down.
【答案】
【1】to prevent
【2】shops
【3】than
【4】potentially
【5】a
【6】whose
【7】are caused
【8】begging
【9】of
【10】began
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章说明了韩国人的手机依赖症以及政府对这一现象已经采取的一些措施。
【1】考查不定式。句意:在韩国,智能手机外壳背面装有指环,以防止手机从笨拙的用户手中脱落。这句话中谓语动词为come with,所以空格处填非谓语动词。这里用来表达手机外壳装有指环的目的,故用不定式做目的状语。故填to prevent。
【2】考查名词的复数形式。句意:在首尔的很多咖啡店里,情侣看手机的时间远远超过看约会对象的时间。空格前有lots of与名词所有格修饰,所以空格处应填名词。shop(商店)为可数名词,lots of修饰名词时,应用名词的复数形式。故填shops。
【3】考查连词。句意同上。由much more time可知,这是一个比较句式。故填than。
【4】考查副词。句意:这一行为除了可能会破坏浪漫气氛,还有其他后果。空格位于形容词前,需用副词修饰。故填potentially。
【5】考查冠词。句意:走在首尔的街头上,你很有可能会撞到其他人,因为他们的注意力都在手机屏幕上了。空格后的名词为risk(风险),为单数形式,所以空格处应填冠词。real是以辅音音素开始的,故填a。
【6】考查非限制性定语从句。句意同上。这是一个定语从句,先行词为people,指人,且在从句中作eyes的定语,所以选用关系词whose,故填whose。
【7】考查一般现在时的被动语态与主谓一致。句意:据统计,每年大约370例交通事故是由用手机的行人引起的。这句话缺少谓语,由annually可知,这句话使用一般现在时。主语traffic accidents与cause之间是被动关系,所以使用被动语态。且由于主语traffic accidents是复数形式,所以谓语动词使用复数形式。故填are caused。
【8】考查现在分词。句意:政府最初试图通过在城市中分发数百个贴纸来恳求人们“注意安全”并抬头看,以此来应对“手机僵尸”现象。这句话的谓语动词为tried to,所以空格处填非谓语动词。主语The government与beg之间是主动关系,且分发贴纸与beg这两个动作是同时发生的,所以使用现在分词作状语。故填begging。
【9】考查介词。句意:政府当局没有诉诸于人们抬头看路的良好意识,而是试图挽救他们免于被车辆碾压。空格后为动名词形式,所以空格中填介词。“instead of”意为“代替; 作为……的替换”,符合句意。故填of。
【10】考查一般过去时。句意:去年年初,他们开始在首尔市中心的手机僵尸热点区域试点路面交通信号灯。这句话缺少谓语动词,且由early last year可知,这句话应使用一般过去时。故填began。

【题目】A company has designed a water bottle, the Memobottle, which is ideal for the office worker’s bag, because it’s completely flat. With the same shape as a piece of paper, the Memobottle is a reusable water bottle that slides into your bag to lie next to books and laptops. The bottle, which can also be washed in a dishwasher, is designed to help reduce the number of plastic bottles in landfills(填埋).
Two creative people Jesse Leeworthy and Jonathan Byrt, both 28,designed the bottle to be convenient to carry and environmentally friendly. It is made from a durable and dishwasher-friendly“green” plastic.
Leeworthy and Byrt,from Australia, say more than 600 billion single-use bottles were sold globally last year. In America alone, studies show that around 1,500 single-use water bottle are consumed every second—only 20 percent of these are recycled. And the cost of buying more and more plastic bottles adds to— the pair say that bottled water costs approximately 1,400 times more than tap water.
“We’ve always been passionate about the environment,” said Leeworthy.“For years we have been focused on creative design that provides environmental remedy while improving social convenience. The Memobottle was designed to overcome two problems that we see in our society: our attachment to the outdoors,and our inability to fit water bottles in laptop bags.”
The bottle will be available in three different sizes— A5 which holds 750 ml,A4 which holds 1.25 litres and letter size which stores 1.25 litres. The product is seeking funding on Kickstarter and has already soared(飙升)past its primary goal of raising 8,310 ($13,500),reaching it in just 36 hours. Jonathan Byrt said, “The feedback we’ve received has been overwhelmingly positive! The emails of support and interest, and social media comments have been amazing!”
The product is expected to be on the market by Christmas and will be available for global delivery.
【1】What is the main character of the newly-designed water bottle?
A. Clean and easy to wash.
B. Practical and friendly to environment.
C. Flat and popular with housewives.
D. Cheap and convenient to carry in bags.
【2】What are the two designers most concerned about?
A. Materials and shape. B. Price and production.
C. Comments and popularity. D. Environment and convenience.
【3】What is people’s attitude towards the water bottle?

C. Supportive. D. Doubtful.
【4】What can be the best title of the text?

B. Round water bottles are out of date.
C. Seeking fund for an ideal water bottle.
D. Two creative Australian young designers.

【题目】 The negative (负面的) health effects of sleep shortages during the week can’t be changed by marathon weekend sleep sessions, according to a new study.
Researchers have long known that routine sleep deprivation (缺乏) can cause weight gain and increase other health risks, including diabetes. But there are still some people who hope that shutting off the alarm on Saturday and Sunday will repay the weekly sleep debt and remove any ill effects.
The research, published in Current Biology, ruins those hopes. Despite complete freedom to sleep in and nap during a weekend recovery period, participants in a sleep laboratory who were limited to five hours of sleep on weekdays gained nearly three pounds over two weeks and experienced metabolic disruption (代谢紊乱) that would increase their risk for diabetes over the long term. While weekend recovery sleep had some benefits after a single week of inadequate sleep, those gains were wiped out when people returned right to their same sleep schedule the next Monday.
“If there are benefits of catch-up sleep, they’re gone when you go back to your routine. It’s very short-lived,” said Kenneth Wright, who led the research. “These health effects are long-term. It’s kind of like smoking once was — people would smoke and wouldn’t see an immediate effect on their health, but people will say now that smoking is not a healthy lifestyle choice. I think sleep is in the early stage of where smoking used to be.”
Wright said that the study suggests people should prioritize sleep — cutting out the optional “sleep stealers” such as watching television shows or spending time on electronic equipment. Even when people don’t have a choice about losing sleep due to child-care responsibilities or job schedules, they should think about prioritizing sleep in the same way they would think about a healthy diet or exercise.
【1】What had the researchers already known before doing the new research?
A.The actual benefits of weekend recovery sleep.
B.Harm to health caused by the lack of routine sleep.
C.People’s habit of shutting off the alarm during holidays.
D.The relationship between body weight and sleep amount.
【2】Kenneth Wright mentioned smoking to _________.
A.call on smokers to completely abandon smoking
B.advise people to go to sleep when they want to smoke
C.show people have known the harm brought by smoking
D.show people will someday notice the bad effects of sleep deprivation
【3】What does the underlined word “prioritize” probably mean?
A.Have a low opinion of something.
B.Increase the amount of something.
C.Cut down something that isn’t necessary any more.
D.Treat something as being more important than others.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.Weekend Catch-up Sleep Is a Lie
B.Bad Sleep Habits Are Harmful to Health
C.A New Study Has an Unexpected Discovery
D.Advantages and Disadvantages of Catch-up Sleep

We all knew we can’t live on our own. A lot of things are very important in our lives, such as animals which are usual considered as one of the most essential part. They help us in many ways except providing their meat for us and making our diet variously. Moreover, people get much fun and pleasure when lived with them. In my opinion, how the animals give us may be more than the things we do for them, but they are our great and honest friends. So in the return, we should do our best protect them because we can not live without them.

【题目】From self-driving cars to care-bots(care+robots) for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses.
“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.
A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.
The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates.
But the report states: “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs — just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research.
“The growth of 20 to 40 person companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies,” it states.
A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create,” according to Aaron Smith, the report’s co-author.
“Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change,” Microsoft’s Jonathan Grudin told researchers.
【1】We can infer from the text that in the future _____.
A. people will face many difficulties
B. people will take up more creative jobs
C. artificial intelligence will threaten people's lives
D. most jobs will be done in traditional workplaces
【2】According to the report, _____.
A. people won't necessarily lose jobs
B. big companies will face fewer challenges
C. small companies will win against big companies
D. most people will become interested in technology
【3】What is the attitude of most experts in artificial intelligence and robotics to the future?
A. Mixed B. Worried.
C. Hopeful. D. Doubtful.
【4】Jonathan Grudin’s words in the last paragraph suggest that _____.
A. there will be enough jobs for people
B. things will change a lot in a few years
C. many people will become unemployed
D. technology will totally change future jobs
