The new NoPhone might be just the thing you need. It looks and feels exactly like a smartphone, but it does nothing. Its just a piece of plastic that you can carry around in your hand to fool yourself.NoPhone is currently a prototype(手机模型) that will cost only $12 once it hits the market. Its makers are trying to raise $30,000 in order to cover the production and marketing costs.Dutch designer Ingmar Larsen, who helped create the NoPhone, said that he had the idea as a joke along with his friends Van Gould and Ben Langveld. To their great surprise, the idea received a lot of attention online and people from all over the world started placing requests for NoPhone of their own, so thats when the three friends decided to raise money for mass production.David H said,“ I used to sleep with my phone in my hand, but my night terrors would cause me to throw it across the room in an unconscious panic. With the NoPhone, I can still enjoy the comfort of holding a phone in my sleep, without waking up to a broken screen, thanks, NoPhone.”If youre interested in NoPhone, but concerned about not being able to take selfies anymore, dont worry. The makers do have an update at no extra chargethe mirror sticker. That way, they say, you can enjoy “real-time” selfies with your friends when theyre standing right behind you.1.

But how much do you really know about poison?An exhibition, The Power of Poison, opened last month at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, intended to give the audience a more vivid understanding of poison.The museum tour starts in a rainforest setting, where you can see live examples of some of the most poisonous animals: caterpillars(毛毛虫), frogs and spiders. Golden poison frogs, for instance, arent much bigger than a coin, but their skin is covered with a poison that can cut off the signaling power of your nerves, and a single frog has enough venom to kill 10 grown humans.Poisons can be bad for some things, Michael Novacek, senior vice president of the museum, told NBC News. Yet they can also be good for others.A poisonous chemical found in the yew tree is effective against cancer, which is what led to the invention of a cancer-fighting drug called Taxol.The benefits from natural poisons are not limited to just medicine. Believe it or not, many substances(物质)that we regularly ingest(摄入)-chili, coffee and chocolate-owe their special flavors or stimulating(提神的)effects to chemicals that plants make to poison insects.5.

A【解析】本文主要讲述了毒药的渊源，毒药在历史中的地位，以及纽约举办的毒药的力量的展览，该展览阐述了毒药真正的力量与实体存在形式，让人们对毒药有更深入的了解。【5题详解】词义猜测题。根据“some ancient Chinese emperors took pellets（药丸）that contained mercury（水银）,believing that it would make them immortal, but they died afterward”根据but表转折，故与前句意思相反，结合they died afterward（他们之后就死了），推知他们认为这些药丸可以让他们长命百岁。故选C。【6题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“An exhibition, The Power of Poison, opened last month at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, intended to give the audience a more vivid understanding of poison”可知，这个展览的目的是让人们对毒药有更深入的了解。故选A。【7题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段“Golden poison frogs, for instance, arent much bigger than a coin”可知，金毒蛙大概有硬币大小。故选B。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段的表述可知，咖啡的刺激性来自于植物自然产生的毒性。故选A。CDr. Michael Prager, a leading Botox expert, said that a growing number of women are developing something called “computer face”. He also mentioned that professionals who worked long hours in front of a screen were ending up with saggy jowls(颚骨下垂),“turkey neck” and deep-set wrinkles(皱纹)on their forehead and around their eyes.The Botox expert said that, of all his clients, office workers were most likely to show premature (过早的)signs of aging. “ If you are one of the unfortunate people who frown(皱眉)while you are concentrating on the screen then, over time, you will inevitably(不可避免地)end up with frown lines. Dr. Prager said. “What is perhaps more surprising is the number of women with saggy jowls because they are sitting in one position for so long. If you spend most of the time looking down then the neck muscles shorten and go saggy, eventually giving you a second neck.”Dr. Prager, who has a practice near Harley Street in London, said he encourages his clients to put a mirror next to their computer so they can see if they are frowning at the screen. “When people are stressed or thinking hard about something, then they will often put on a grumpy(脾气暴躁的)face without even knowing what they are doing. When my clients put a mirror next to their desk, they are often shocked by the angry, frowning face which stares back at them.”He said, “The women I am seeing at the moment have only been using computers at work for the last decade or so. But women in their 20s have grown up with them and use them for every single task. I think the problem is going to become much, much worse. In another ten years, they could be looking quite awful.”Dr. Prager said there were several simple steps which could avoid “computer face” such as regular screen breaks and stretching the neck muscles. And, of course, there was always Botox(肉毒杆菌). He said that, after a couple of sessions of Botox, the habit of “grumpy face” could be broken.9. According to the passage, which of the following are signs of aging?A. Saggy jowls and short necksB. Turkey neck and frown linesC. Deep-set wrinkles and angry facesD. Second neck and stressed muscles10. Why does Dr. Prager suggest a mirror for his clients?A. To be aware of their “computer face”B. To see if they have got a second neckC. To make sure their make-up is perfectD. To find more signs of premature aging11. From the last 2 paragraphs, we can know that_A. “computer face” is avoidableB. we should give up using computersC. we should break the habit of “grumpy faceD. the younger generation is worse at computers【答案】9. B 10. A 11. A【解析】DrMichael Prager通过研究发现了长时间使用电脑对现代人的影响。 【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段可知长时间使用电脑导致过早出现衰老迹象包括Turkey neck 和 frown lines，故选B。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段he encourages his clients（客户） to put a mirror next to their computer so they can see if they are frowning at the screen.可知放一面镜子可知自己是否皱眉，是否生气，再根据第一段对于computer face 的解释可知A正确。【11题详解】根据最后一段中DrPrager said there were several simple steps which could avoid “computer face” such as regular screen breaks and stretching the neck muscles一句可知通过一些措施可以避免形成“电脑脸”。可知答案A正确。DWhile the U.S. is still debating about getting rid of the penny, Sweden is rapidly moving towards abolishing currency(货币) altogether. Though this may sound radical(过激的), it is a natural evolution in this digital society.Sweden, which was the first European country to introduce banknotes in 1661, has just been working harder to convince its residents that digital payments are a safer alternative to carrying cash.Over the years, the idea has gained popularity with residents, especially the younger generation that is much more comfortable with technology. Today many banks dont even have ATMs and some have stopped handling cash altogether!Tickets to ride public buses in most Swedish cities can only be purchased via cell phones. Numerous businesses are also moving towards accepting only digital payments. Even the homeless that sell street paper to make ends meet have to start accepting this mode of payment!But despite its growing popularity, some people dont like this radical idea. They include the homeless, elderly people as well as those living in rural areas who are still uncomfortable with mobile phones and computers. But the officials are confident that in the very near future, they will be able to convince everyone to move this safe and more cost-effective payment system.Sweden is not the only country trying to abolish paper currency and coins. The movement is rapidly gaining ground in Denmark and Finland as well. In 2014, Israel announced a three-step plan to go cashless and just last week the vendors(小贩)of a popular street in Sydney declared they would stop accepting currency from customers. Whether this phenomenon spreads remains to be seen. But one thing is for sureWith increasingly advanced payment systems being introduced every day, pulling out cash is rapidly becoming “uncool”.12. What can we infer from Paragraph 3 and 4?A. Many banks in Sweden dont have ATMs.B. You dont have to buy tickets when riding buses.C. People dont give the homeless money but food.D. People can just take cell phones when shopping.13. According to the passage, which information is RIGHT?A. Sweden was the first country to get the idea to abolish currency.B. The younger generation is opposed to the measures.C. Bus fare can only be purchased via cell phones in most Swedish cities.D. Banks in Sweden have stopped dealing with cash completely.14. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. An Advanced Country SwedenB. A Controversial Government PolicyC. Sweden to Influence the Worlds Cash PaymentD. Sweden to Become the Cashless Society15. Which of the following categories does this passage belong to?A. Education.B. Economy.C. Travel.D. Insurance.【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. B【解析】本文是类科普文，本文主要讲瑞典等国家开始实行废除货币，开始实行数字支付，数字支付在年轻人之间很受欢迎，但也有一部分人如乞丐，老年人，农村居民等不愿意，但政府表明人们会慢慢接受这一改革。【12题详解】细节理解题，根据文中“Today many banks dont even have ATMs ”意思是几天很多银行没有自助取款机，但没有特指瑞典，故A错误，根据“Tickets to ride public buses in most Swedish cities can only be purchased via cell phones.”购买车票只能通过手机，但不是说不用买票。故B错误，根据“Even the homeless that sell street paper to make ends meet have to start accepting this mode of payment!”即使是无家可归的卖报人也得接受这一方式，故C错误，故选D。【13题详解】推理判断题，根据Tickets to ride public buses in most Swedish cities can only be purchased via cell phones.意思是购买车票只能通过手机，以及文中大意推测。故选C【14题详解】主旨大意题，文章主要讲废除货币，执行数字支付，以及文章第一句话“While the U.S. is still debating about getting rid of the penny, Sweden is rapidly moving towards abolishing currency altogether.”但美国正在谈论如何摆脱便士，瑞典已经在实行废除货币了，故选D。【15题详解】细节理解题，文章主要讲货币以及纸币的问题，如“paper currency and coins.”涉及的是经济问题，故选B。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。The art of growing dwarf(矮小的)trees, or bonsai(盆栽)as their Japanese planters call them, is increasing in popularity in the United States. Growing bonsai can make a fascinating hobby for anyone who enjoys plants and creating beautiful effects with them._16_In growing bonsai, in fact, one must be careful in choosing the type of tree, as the growing conditions are unusual._17_Varieties of pines with small needles and hardwood trunks are especially suitable._18_This is necessary because the major growth of bonsai is kept confined(被限制) to the trees trunk and leaves, not its root system-a process quite unlike what is done with other plants.Another thing the bonsai-grower must do is to trim(修整)the roots and branches of the tree periodically (定期地). Unless this is done, the plants will not have the proper proportions(比例) and will look unnatural. _19_The last thing one must do is to be careful to keep the tree well-watered. Because bonsai are grown in smaller-than-usual containers, they often need more water than ordinary houseplants do.As can be seen from the above, the art of bonsai-growing is one which requires a certain amount of time and effort. _20_Imagine having such a tree in your living room and passing it down through several generations of your family. That is exactly what bonsai-growing is all about: establishing a tradition of beauty which lasts for years and years and is a symbol of the beauties of the natural world.A. Then one must be careful in choosing the size of the container.B. How can we meet the goal of making such a kind of art?C. Why do so many people take a fancy to the art of bonsai-growing.D. But one must get well prepared before starting bonsai-growing.E. The satisfactions that growing bonsai brings can be great, however.F. The ideal for bonsai plants are trees just like normal trees in everything but size.G. Not all species of trees can be made into bonsai.【答案】16. B 17. G 18. A 19. F 20. E【解析】本文讲述了种植盆栽是一种很有益的活动，但有几个注意事项，并且盆栽艺术需要花费一定的时间和努力。【16题详解】B根据上句：种植盆栽可以成为一个迷人的爱好，适用于任何一个喜欢植物和创造美丽的人。根据常识，可知下句要表达的意思是：我们怎样才能达到这样一种艺术的目标呢？故选B。【17题详解】G根据上句：在选择树的类型时一定要小心。可知：不是所有种类的树都能做成盆栽。故选G。【18题详解】A根据下句：这是必要的，因为盆栽的生长主要被限制在树的树干和叶子上，而不是根部。故上句的意思应该是：在选择容器的尺寸时一定要小心。故选A。【19题详解】F根据上两句：盆栽种植者必须要做的另外一件事是定期修整根和树枝，如果不这样做，植物没有适当的比例，这看起来会不自然。故此处的意思是：理想的盆栽植物是像所有的正常的树一样，除了尺寸。故选F。【20题详解】E 根据上句：盆栽艺术的成长需要一定的时间和努力。故下一句要表达的意思是：然而，盆栽生长可以带来极大的满足。故选E。考点：考查对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和把握完型填空：共两节（每题1.5分，共60分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AAfter 21 years of marriage, Bill Henrichs and Mary Ziegler concluded that they were no longer a good match.
