【题目】 It was just a normal day for Ruth Miller, a 63-year-old woman until everything went horribly wrong. She was walking to her car after shopping when the unthinkable happened.
Right as she was unlocking her car, a man quickly came up behind her and tried to wrestle her purse away. She was in shock. Luckily she remembered she had her Safe Personal Alarm (SPA) on her purse, and since she was too scared to scream for help, she quickly reached for the alarm and pulled the pin (保险栓). Immediately her SPA started just screaming. The man didn't know what to do! He froze for a second, and then ran away like a bat out of hell!
SPA is a safety device capable of creating a 125db sound that attracts attention and scares away potential attackers. To compare, it's the same volume as a military jet during takeoff.
Paul Davidson, the inventor of SPA, knows all too well the type of situation that Ruth found herself in. But that's not the only type of situation that SPA helps protect against. Parents can give it to their kids as an extra means of protection. Teenagers can use it so they can feel safe walking home. Women can know it's there when they have to use the parking lot at night. “My mother, who is 76 years old, carries it around in case she falls and needs to ask people for help. I only wish I'd have thought of it earlier,” said Paul.
The police have been recommending SPA since it first hit the market. In fact, since its launch, SPA has been in a state, shifting between in stock to sold out nearly every other week, and it's also got tons of loyal followers worldwide.
【1】What does the underlined part “the unthinkable” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.An attempted robbery.B.A wrestling match.
C.An angry argument.D.A car accident.
【2】How did Ruth react to the unexpected situation?
A.She fought violently.B.She froze in great fear.
C.She cried desperately for help.D.She sounded her safety device.
【3】Why does Paul mention his mother?
A.To imply the elderly need more care.B.To suggest he cares about his mother.
C.To show SPA can be widely used.D.To make an advertisement for SPA.
【4】What can be learned from the text?
A.SPA is well received in the market.B.People hesitate to pay for security.
C.SPA was sold out in the first two weeks.D.SPA is not important in life.
【答案】
【1】A
【2】D
【3】C
【4】A
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章以Ruth差点被人抢劫为例子，介绍了SPA这种安全装置，可以发出125分贝的声音，吸引注意力，吓跑潜在的攻击者。SPA可以广泛应用，而且非常受欢迎。
【1】词义猜测题。根据后文Right as she was unlocking her car, a man quickly came up behind her and tried to wrestle her purse away. She was in shock.可知，就在她打开车门的时候，一个男人迅速地从她后面过来，试图抢走她的钱包。她震惊了。后来Ruth按响了警报器，男人被吓跑了。由此可知，划线短语指的是“一次抢劫未遂”。故选A。
【2】细节理解题。根据第二段中Luckily she remembered she had her Safe Personal Alarm (SPA) on her purse, and since she was too scared to scream for help, she quickly reached for the alarm and pulled the pin.可知，幸运的是，她记得她的钱包上有她的安全个人警报器，由于她太害怕了，不敢大声呼救，她迅速伸手去拿警报器，拔下了保险栓。由此可知，对这个意外的情况，Ruth按响了她的安全装置。故选D。
【3】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Parents can give it to their kids as an extra means of protection. Teenagers can use it so they can feel safe walking home. Women can know it's there when they have to use the parking lot at night.可知，父母可以把它给孩子作为额外的保护手段。青少年可以使用它，这样他们在回家的路上会感到安全。女人在晚上不得不使用停车场的时候就知道它的存在。由此可推知，Paul提到他的母亲是为了说明SPA可以广泛应用。故选C。
【4】推理判断题。根据最后一段中In fact, since its launch, SPA has been in a state, shifting between in stock to sold out nearly every other week, and it’s also got tons of loyal followers worldwide.可知，事实上，自推出以来，SPA一直处于一种几乎每隔一周就会换一次货状态，而且它在世界各地也有大量的忠实粉丝。由此推知，SPA在市场上很受欢迎。故选A。

【题目】 If you’re anything like the average American, you probably check your smartphone more than50 times per day as a 2018 study found. 【1】 In fact, The University of Arizona found back in2012 that cell phones carry 10 times more bacteria than a toilet seat, largely because toilet seats are typically cleaned more frequently while personal electronics are largely overlooked.
As the novel corona virus (新型冠状病毒) continues to spread, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization are advising the general public to wash hands often and disinfect (消毒) frequently touched objects and surfaces. 【2】
But cleaning your phone can be tricky, considering many of the standard cleaning products you’d typically use for disinfection could potentially damage your mobile device. You may want to wipe down your phones screen with some rubbing alcohol or a disinfectant wipe. 【3】 These phones have a coating on then to prevent oil or grease from your hand from sticking on the phone. Using alcohol or those types of everyday solutions directly on a phone, on its glass can harm it. 【4】
That lines up with the advice Apple and Samsung offer which warn not to use cleaning products. 【5】 If you need to disinfect your smartphone, consider looking into a UV light to kill the bacteria.
A.Avoid using alcohol.
B.But in doing so, you risk damaging your devices screen.
C.That means keeping your phone clean is important as well.
D.You should still be cautious when exposing them to liquids.
E.Instead use a micro fiber cloth and dampen it lightly with soap and water.
F.And each time you do, your mobile device picks up more bacteria from your hands.
G.Both companies say wiping your phone down with a soft cloth is the best way to clean it.

【题目】 The world is a greener place than it was 20 years ago. Recent NASA satellites data(2000—2017) have shown that human activities in China and India dominate this greening of the planet, thanks to ambitious tree-planting programmes in China and intensive agriculture(集约农业) in both countries.
The researchers from Boston University found that global green leaf area has increased by 5 percent in the new century, an area equal to all of the Amazon rainforest. China alone accounts for 25% of the global net increase in leaf area with only 6.6% of global vegetated area. China's contribution comes in large part from its programmes to conserve and expand forests, taking up about 42 percent of the greening. The greening from farmlands in China is about 32%, but that in India is about 82%.
Rama Nemani, a research scientist at NASA's Ames Research Centre and a co-author of the study said, 'When the greening of the Earth was first observed, we thought it was due to a warmer, wetter climate and fertilisation from the added carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. But with data from NASA satellites, scientists realised that humans are also contributing, which was all against our expectations. '
Nemani sees a positive message in the new findings. 'Once people realise there is a problem, they tend to fix it, ' he said. 'In the 1970s and 1980s in India and China, the situation around vegetation loss was not good. In the 1990s, people realised it, and today things have improved. Humans are incredibly resilient. That is what we see in the satellite data. '
However, the researchers rang bells as well. They said that the gain in global greenness did not necessarily make up for the loss of natural vegetation in regions like Brazil and Indonesia.
【1】What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.The decreasing size of the Amazon rainforest.
B.China's bigger contribution to global greening.
C.Total global green leaf area in the new century.
D.China's programmes to conserve and expand forests.
【2】What surprised scientists regarding global greening?
A.Human activities.B.The level of fertilisation.
C.A warmer and wetter climate.D.Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
【3】What does the underlined word 'resilient' probably mean?
A.Good at making programmes.B.Suitable for analysing data.
C.Able to make corrections.D.Active in planting trees.
【4】What does the last paragraph imply?
A.It is urgent to protect global natural resources.
B.Much remains to be done for global greenness.
C.Brazil and Indonesia lose most of their vegetation.
D.Global greenness needs all countries to work together.
