parents house in tunstall went up in flames. several months on, were still trying to find out exactly what happened, but my parents john and carole were out when more than half the house was burned to the ground. what was left behind needed to be pulled down and most of the things that werent actually destroyed were so smoke-damaged that they would have to be thrown away.my parents were both teachers and not the kind of people to fill their house with expensive furniture, so most of their belongings were memories including photos and the tracksuit that dad was given when he carried the olympic torch. but what really upset me was not the loss of these things.dad had an album for every occasion. once his car got broken into and he was more upset that his cassettes had been nicked than about all the rest of the damage. so when i was considering doing something to help after the fire, i immediately thought about his music. we couldnt get the old photos back, but we could replace his cds and records. then i started a little page about my dad on the blogging site tumblr.within a few days, news of what had happened spread by word of mouth, and i was getting messages from friends id not spoken to in years. i also heard from dads mates and even from people neither of us had ever met. soon packages arrived from all over the country. i expected 100 cds if we were lucky, but his new collection would now run into the thousands!on christmas day, all the records, tapes and cds were packed into a beautiful box, which, of course, was for my dad, a lot of them came from his previous students and he was touched to realize what an effect hed had on their lives. eventually, he told me, “what could have been a bad christmas has been a very good one.”21. last summer, the authors parents _. a. rebuilt their house in tunstallb. lost their house due to a big fire c. got burned while putting out a fired. found their house was broken into22. which of the following things does john care about most? a. his tracksuit.b. the olympic torch.c. the old photos.d. his music collection.23. we can infer from the text that john _. a. was a very popular teacherb. had a hard time last christmas c. sang a lot for various occasionsd. lost interest in all things after the firebchildren are quick to ask “why” and “how” when it comes to new things, but research suggests that they learn more when teachers turn the questions back on them. “when children explain events, they learn more than when just getting the results,” said cristine h. legare, a professor at the university of texas.ms. legare brought in 96 children aged 3 to 5 and set before them a complex toy made up of colorful, interlocking gears(齿轮). with the first group, the researchers asked, “can you explain this to me?” with the second one, they simply said, “look, isnt this interesting?”the two groups of children focused on different things, researchers found. children who were asked to observe noticed the colors of the toy, while those asked to explain focused on the chain of gears working on each other.children who had explained the toy were better at re-creating it and not being disturbed by decorative gears, and they were better able to use what they had learned about how gears work to do new tasks. the children who had observed the toy outperformed the children in the explanation group on a memory task focused on the toys colors.dedre gentner, the director of the cognitive science program at northwestern university, said that teacher introducing a concept can improve students understanding by giving examples of close comparisons, and then asking children to explain how concepts are related.in a series of experiments with 3-to7-year-olds, she found children can be confused by comparisons that focus on a relationship rather than a direct-object match.for example, a 3-year-old shown a picture of two rabbits facing each other and told “this is a toma” and then asked to find another “toma” will choose a picture of a rabbit over one of two cats facing each other 98 percent of the time. a 7-year-old is more likely to recognize the more abstract comparison of relationship.however, ms, gentner found that 3-year-olds can think more like 7-year-olds if they are given more examples. when shown a “toma” with rabbits and another with cats, and then asked, “can you say why both of these are tomas?” most of the children can give a good explanation.32. as for the gear toy, the first group _. a. learned more about its historyb. focused on the design of the toy c. had a clear memory of its colorsd. found it hard to create the toy again33. the underlined word “outperformed” in paragraph 4 probably means “_”. a. equaledb. were better thanc. challengedd. matched34. when introducing a concept, teachers should _.a. provide more examples of close comparisons b. ask children to draw some pictures of animalsc. ask children to talk about what a toma means d. show a picture of two rabbits facing each other35. where can we most probably read this text? a. in a health report.b. in a history paper.c. in a travel magazine.d. on an education website.cmedecins sans frontieres (doctors without borders) executive director paul mcphun has told news corp he wont accept the $2.5 million prime minister tony abbott announced would go to his group.“we have been very clear with the government for two weeks now we are not asking for financial support, we are asking the government to evaluate australias emergency medical capacity and mobilise it on the ground in west africa,” he said.foreign minister julie bishop said the national security committee of cabinet had considered at length the option of sending australian troops and doctors to west africa to help control ebola.however, she said the government had been advised it would be impossible to evacuate any australians who contracted the virus back to australia in time for treatment.“it would be negligent of the government to go against that advice,” she said. “the united states has the capacity to treat any of its infected workers on site in west africa in hospitals on board aircraft, an option not available to australia,” she said.the world health organisations (who) consolidated regional response to ebola will get $2.5 million from the australian government.an additional $2 million will be provided to the united kingdom to support their delivery of frontline medical services in sierra leone.prime minister tony abbott said today the ebola outbreak had become a “very serious health situation.” if the infection rate of the ebola virus in west africa continued to rise, mr abbott said australia could give more money.australia has already contributed $1 million to the world health organization to help combat the virus ,but with more than 5,000 people now infected us president obama says the world needs to do more.mr mcphun said there were already 12 australian doctors working to fight ebola in west africa with medecins sans frontieres and more were needed. “australian politicians were taking a purely political position by protecting australias borders rather than putting resources into fighting the virus on the ground in africa.” he said.“its like sticking your head in the sand , the problem is only going to get bigger,” he said.australian medical association president professor biran owler today urged the australian government to “step up its efforts” and send medical support teams to west africa to help contain the virus. “i think were so willing to jump in with a military exercise with the us in iraq but dont understand why we wouldnt be looking at a humanitarian crisis that is just as big in west africa,” he said.28. the international medical group will reject the money from the australian government because_.a. more money is needed b. they demand australian doctors be sent to africa insteadc. theres no need for financial support in africa d. australian government has donated enough 29. according to the passage, the money australia donate to fight ebola in west africa willreach as much as _.a. $ 2.5 million b. $ 5 million c. $ 7 million d. $ 8 million30. what can we know according to the passage ?a. no australian doctors have helped out in west africa.b. the australian government are ready to send his medical team to west africa.c. biran owler srongly criticized australia for so willingly involved in a military exercise with the us in iraq.d. julie bishop insisted australia had no capacity to deal with its infected workers on site.31. by saying sticking your head in the sand, paul mcphun means _.a. australia will worsen the situation in west africa.b. australia acts quickly in response to the ebola virus.c. australia is actually trying to ignore the bad need for medical support teams with ebola in west africa.d. australia makes no response to ebola in west africa. dthe newest fitness tracker from jawbone has the ability to measure your heart rate on demand, tell if youre dehydrated(脱水的), take your temperature, and detect if youre stressed or tired.unfortunately, it cant do all those things right now.jawbone is adding two new fitness trackers to its lineup, including the new $179 jawbone up 3 wristband. the devices key new ingredient is something called a bioimpedance(生物电阻) sensor. the hardware can be bulky, which is why many entry-level fitness trackers dont do heart rates.according to jawbone, its bioimpedance sensor detects the physical resistance of body tissue to get more accurate readings for a wider range of metrics. for example, if you have more salt or liquid in your body, that slows down the resistance.out of the box, the $179 up 3 will automatically read your resting heart rate. it will track sleep cycles and know when youre working out, in addition to the usual step and activity tracking.jawbones other new product is the up move, a small $50 modular fitness and sleep tracker aimed at wooing the many first timers who arent counting their steps yet.after years of success with audio devices, the company branched into consumer wearables in 2011 with the first jawbone up. unfortunately, there were massive product failures, most notably bricking (when a device shuts down and cant be restarted). the ceo issued a public apology and offered full refunds to unhappy customers.a year later, jawbone released a far better version of up, going up against competitors nike and fitbit. jawbone is focusing on lifestyle devices that people wear 24 hours a day. that means they cant be too big, too power hungry, or too unfashionable.to stay competitive, jawbone needed to bring something fresh to the wearables party. in 2013, jawbone acquired wearable fitness company bodymedia for more than $100 million. some of that technology is in the new up 3.the power that technology adds to the up could be a huge hit for jawbone. when it actually makes it to consumers wrists.32. the purpose of this passage is to _. a. explain the company-jawboneb. compare jawbones device with other companiesc. call on people to buy jawbones productsd. introduce a new device produced by jawbone33. how many jawbones devices on the market mentioned in this passage? a. 2b. 3c. 4d. 534. jawbones new up3 _. a. focuses on lifestyle usage.b. can slow down the blood flow c. uses a kind of technology from bodymediad. cant do heart rates35. which of the following is not true about jawbone? a. jawbone has never produced audio devices before. b. jawbones first up is a failure. c. jawbone views nike and fitbit as its competitors. d. jawbone purchased body media for more than $100 million.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。 spring
