cigarettes as a safer smoking choice - safer than tobaccoalthough e-cigarettes contain the drug nicotine like cigarettes, they do not use tobacco and you do not light themthey are powered by battery （电池） however, if e-cigarettes are so safe, why has the united states center for disease control（cdc） seen an increase in telephone calls about e-cigarette poisonings? the answer is childrenmost of the calls are from people worried about children who have played with the devices, in the period of one month this year, the center said 215 people called the center with e-cigarette concerns more than half of these calls were for children aged five and younger the devices had made them sick tim mcafee is director of the centers office on smoking and health. he says the problem is regulation, meaning the usfederal government does not control e-cigarettes even though they contain liquid nicotinemr.mcafee adds that liquid nicotine is a well-known dangermrmcafee explains that nicotine poisoning happens when it gets into the skin, gets into the eyes or is swallowedit can cause stomach pain or a sense of unbalanceand too much nicotine can kill. tim mcafee says e-cigarettes do not create the level of risk to people that tobacco products dohe notes that almost 500,000 americans die each year from cigarettesso, cigarettes are the winner in that contest e-cigarettes do not contain hundreds of harmful chemicals that are found in real cigarettesso, the ussurgeon general boris d.lushniak has suggested that e-cigarettes may be a useful tool for adults trying to end their tobacco use but mcafee worries that teenagers may think electronic cigarettes are harmless they could become addicted to the nicotine and then start smoking real cigarettes in other words, he fears that for young people fake e-cigarettes could be a gateway to the real thing24what do the producers think of e-cigarettes?a dangerous b expensive c safer d cheaper25why did the cdc receive so many calls about e-cigarettes?a parents feared that their children might get poisoned,b parents found the device useless in quitting smokingc children swallowed the liquid nicotine from the deviced children might get addicted to playing with the device26it can be inferred from the passage that a the cdc wants to develop a better type of e-cigarettesb the government is in favor of the use of e-cigarettesc surgeon general boris lushniak is a heavy smokerd smokers most probably cant quit smoking using e-cigarettes27what is tim mcafees opinion about smoking?a adults should use harmless e-cigarettesb smoking e-cigarettes can make a person sickc regulations should be made to ban smokingd teens should not use e-cigarettescone night, pilar was in a deep sleep when she was woken by her cat inti. inti was meowing wildly outside pilars bedroom and throwing himself against the closed bedroom door. when pilar opened her eyes, she saw that her bedroom was filled with smoke. as she escaped her house with inti in her arms, she saw that a fire was burning in her kitchen. pilar could easily have lost her life, but inti would not let that happen. even though inti could have escaped the house through a cat door, he wouldnt leave pilar.as amazing as this story is, it is not as uncommon as you may think. take the example of charlotte lee and her horse, thunder. one summer night, the whole family was asleep with the windows open. it was normally very quiet where they lived. suddenly, there was a loud noise. charlotte woke up from her sweet dream, and the noise continued. then she heard a horse running fast towards the house. the next thing she saw was thunder standing outside her window, neighing(嘶叫) and shaking his head. she knew something was wrong. charlotte quickly got everyone out of the house before the earthquake hit. thunder has saved her life.there are also stories of wild animals coming to the rescue of humans. one animal known to be a friend of humans is the dolphin. once, todd endris was surfing with his friends when he was attacked by a 13-foot(4-meter) shark. in the middle of the attack, a group of dolphins came to his rescue by forming a protective ring around endris until he could get safely to shore. without the help of the dolphins, there is little chance that todd could have escaped.no one is sure why animals have so often come to our rescue. however, it is clear that humans and animals enjoy a close relationship. it is important that we care for them as much as we can.28. why did inti throw himself against the door?a. he was trying to wake up his ownerb. he wanted to get out of the roomc. he felt bored and was playing by himselfd. he couldnt find the way out because of smoke29. before the earthquake hit, charlotte .a. closed the windowsb. was sleeping deeplyc. ran to warn her neighborsd. got her horse out of the stable30. both inti and thunder .a. were shy and quiet b. used to make noise at nightc. were brave, smart and devoted d. saved their owners several times31. what might todd say to those dolphins?a. leave me alone b. thank you so muchc. why are you leaving d. what are you doing heredif you want to get something done, you might want to put your mobile phone back in your pocket. researchers have found that the mere presence of a phone is distracting(分心) even if it is not your own. and the devices(设备) are likely to distract you, even if they are not ringing or “pinging” with text messages. people asked to carry out electronic tests of their attention spans (持续时间) were found to perform worse when a mobile phone was present than other people performing in the presence of a paper notepad.scientists from hokkaido university in japan said that their findings show that it is harder to concentrate when one of the electronic devices is present. the effect was most marked on people who are not regular users of phones. in tests on 40 undergraduates, associate professor junichiro kawahara and a colleague divided the subjects into two groups one asked to carry out tests in the presence of an apple iphone next to a computer monitor, and the other in the presence of a notebook.the test involved asking the participant to search for a particular character among a mess of other characters on the screen. researchers measured the time it took to find the target. the results of the experiment found that those with the mobile phone took longer to find the character “indicating that participants were automatically distracted by the presence of the phone”. the researchers suggest that people are “drawn to the presence of a mobile phone” although there are individual differences in how one attempts to ignore it. in conclusion, professor kawahara said, “the mere presence of a mobile phone was a distraction among infrequent internet users.”another finding is that listening to one half of a mobile phone conversation also distracts people, and other studies have found that placing a mobile phone in view has a negative impact on the quality of face-to-face communications. holding a mobile phone makes you less likely to get a fair hearing from others.32. what is the first paragraph mainly about?a. a mobile phone wont distract people unless its ringing.b. people find it hard to concentrate if their phones are present.c. text messages distract people even if phones are power off.d. a paper notepad can help people record much information.33. who will be affected most according to the findings?a. people irregularly using phones. b. people regularly using phones.c. people usually using notepads. d. people always using computers.34. in a face-to-face communication, what is the effect of putting a mobile phone in sight?a. it makes listeners feel much awkward.b. it causes other people to lose respect for you.c. it reduces peoples attention to what they are listening to.d. it makes the air of the conversation more pleasant.35. what can we learn from the text?a. people perform worse with a mobile phone at hand.b. mobile phones do a lot of damage to peoples health.c. people working with mobile phones will do very well.d. phones should be banned in all schools and universities.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。how to make the world a better place when you think about people who have made the world a better place, you probably think
