i come to new york tell him front of his boss.” and so i turned to the stockbroker again, “i cant tolerate any more excuse. if i dont receive the check immediately , i am going to have to speak to your manager when i am in new york next week.”the next week we ended up in new york. while i was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real mrs. tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken english. w_w w.k*s*5 u.co m when i was a teenager, my mothers broken english embarrassed me. but now, i see it differently. to me, my mothers english is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. it is my mother tongue. her language, as i hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. it was the language that helped shape the way i saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.36from paragorph 2, we know that the author was .a. good at pretendingb. rude to the stockbrokerc. unwilling to phone for her mother d. ready to help her mother 37after the author made the phone call, .a. they forgave the stockbroker b. they went to new york immediatelyc .they failed to get the check d. they spoke to their boss at once38what does the author think of her mothers english now? w_w w.k*s*5 u.co ma. it confuses her. b. it embarrasses her.c .it helps her tolerate rude people. d. it helps her understand the world.39we can inter from the passage that chinese english . w_w w. k#s5_u.c o*ma. is clear and natural to non-native speakersb. is vivid and direct to non-native speakersc. may bring inconvenience in america w_w w.k*s*5 u.co md. has a very bad reputation in america the huge florida wetland known as the everglades is a slow-moving river 80 kilometres wide but only a few centimeters deep. people call the everglades a “river of grass” because sawgrass covers most of it. sawgrass is not really grass. it is a plant that has leaves edged with tiny sharp teeth that can easily cut through clothesand skin! travel in the everglades is difficult. you cannot walk through shallow water because the sawgrass will cut you. the water is too shallow for regular boats. so, we use an airboat. an airboat is a flat, open boat. like an airplane, it has a big propeller to move it. the propeller is fixed on the rear of the boat. it makes a tremendous noise, but it does the job. the boat skims along the waters surface. although we can still get lost in an airboat, at least we are above the alligators(短吻鳄). while hundreds of different kinds of animals live in the everglades, the most famous is surely the alligator. once endangered, alligators are now protected within everglades national park. visitors are likely to see them both on land and in water. for a long time, dangers have threatened the everglades. around 1900, some people felt this precious wetland should be drained (排干). they said it was just a big swamp and not good for anything. in the 1920s, there was a land boom in florida. people wanted to build homes everywhere, including in the everglades. they built canals, levees (防洪堤) , and other water systems that stopped the rivers flowing into the everglades. factories were built near rivers that flowed into the wetland. these factories dumped poisonous waste that damaged the everglades ecosystem. people are now working to preserve the everglades national park for the future. right now, one big problem is the paperbark tree. this tree is an invader from australia. paperbark trees soak up a lot of water. in the early 1900s, people brought them to florida because they thought they would help drain the everglades. however, the invaders adapted too well. paperbark trees have taken over hundreds of thousands of acres of the everglades and killed other trees. scientists are cutting down these invaders or spraying them with herbicides (除草剂) to kill them. 40which helps to explain why it is difficult to travel in everglades? a. airboats may make a very big noise. b. you may get lost when passing through. c. paperbark trees soak up too much water there. d. many different kinds of animals are to be protected.41why do people use airboats instead of normal boats? a. they have big propellers to move them faster than alligators. b. the propeller makes loud noise so as to scare alligators. c. their flat bottom can skim along the water surface. d. they can watch alligators without hurting them. 42the following measures were taken to drain the everglades except that people_. a. built canals and levees to stop the rivers flowing into everglades b. built factories near rivers that flowed into the wetland c. brought paperbark to soak up water in everglades d. are cutting down these paperbark trees43the underlined word invader probably means something_. a. that moves in from another placeb. that enters and takes control c. that has been brought ind. that is in dangerkelly reeves was getting ready for a trip when her phone slipped into a sink full of water. panic moment! she quickly picked up the wet phone and tried to turn it on, but nothing worked. her first reaction? she got dressed, drove to the nearest store, and bought a new model at full price. a new study finds that fear of losing your phone is a common illness. about 66 percent of those surveyed suffer from nomophobia or “no mobile phone phobia”. interestingly, more women worry about losing their phone than men. fortunately, theres a solution. the first step is to figure out if you have nomophobia. checking your phone too often is one thing, but the true sign of a problem is that you cant conduct business or go about your routine when the fear becomes so severe. do you go to unusual lengths to make sure you have your phone? thats another sign of a problem. if you find you check your phone plenty of times per hour, or a total of an hour per day, there may be a problem. some of the treatments are similar to those for treating anxiety attacks: leaving the phone behind and not checking e-mail or text messages, and then learning to tolerate the after anxiety. even if this leads to a high level of worry and stress, the solution is to push through the fear and learn to deal with not having your phone. of course, there are also technological alternatives. luis levy, a co-founder at novy pr, says he uses an application called cerberus that can automatically track the location of his phone. to find it, he can just go to a web site and see the phones location. he also insures his phone through a service called asurion. the companys description of its product reads like a prescription for anxiety: “60 million phones are lost, stolen or damaged each year. youll have complete peace of mind knowing that your phone is protected and you can quickly reconnect with family, friends and work, as soon as the very next day!”44why does the author mention kellys experience in the first paragraph?a. to inform us that mobile phones are useful. b. to introduce the topic for discussion.c. to tell us we should get phones ready for a trip. d.to warn us that we should be careful.45the underlined word “nomophobia” in paragraph 2 means _.a. fear of losing mobile phones. b. habits of using mobile phones c. independence of mobile phones. d. eagerness for new mobile phones.46which of the following is a way to treat nomophobia?a. learning more about modern technology. b. avoiding using phone for some time c. not using a mobile phone in ones daily work. d. protecting ones phone against any damage.47why can the service called asurion help to treat nomophobia?a. it will give you a new phone through insurance.b. it lets you know other people also lose their phones. c. it gives you a prescription to treat nomophobia.d. it enables you to reconnect with your acquaintance.48what is the passage mainly about? a. new mobile phone technology. b. attitude toward mobile phone.c. solutions to nomophobia d. disadvantages of mobile phone with the tesla roadster and other plugin (插入式) electric vehicles hitting the road，demand is growing for accessible refueling points to recharge them. carbon day automotive, a chicagobased company，has now demonstrated a solarpowered recharging point, known as the solar plugin station，which lets motorists easily charge their cars using electricity that has been produced without any environmental damage.the solar plugin station has gone on show in chicago as part of the citys bid to host the 2016 olympic games. according to carbon day automotive，the solar plugin station on show in chicago is part of the vital infrastructure(基础设施) required for electric vehicles in chicago and was the focus of a recent visit by the international olympic committee.these solarpowered electricity points will be used daily to fuel the citys electric vehicles with power from the sun. by producing the electricity from pollutionfree solar cell, the co2 emissions are reduced to zero.“solar energy and electric vehicles are a partnership that is one more step to reducing our dependence on foreign oil,” says richard lowenthal, ceo of coulomb technologies.coulomb technologies recently developed the components (部件) required for individual recharging stations，marketed as chargepoint networked charging stations.carbon day automotive is the midwest distributor for the chargepoint stations. the solar plugin station consists of giant solar panels (电池板) that shade the tiny chargepoint networked charging station.the solar panel is connected to an underground battery pack，ready for everyday refueling.“without these stations it would be like driving around in a traditional car without the availability of gas stations，” says scott emalfarb，ceo at carbon day.“the day of true plugin electric vehicles will be here sooner than most people realize and the world needs to be ready to accommodate them.”49the solar plugin station is used as part of the bid to host the olympics mainly because _.a. its environmentally friendly b. it makes up for the lack of electricityc. its a new idea and attracts peoples attention d. it brings convenience to electric vehicle users50we can learn from the passage that _.a. to recharge the electric vehicles takes a long timeb. the solar plugin station will come into use in 2016c. the solar plugin station has gone on show internationallyd. chicago is promoting the use of electric vehicles51according to the passage，how many of the following statements are true?a. tesla roadster is a kind of plugin electric vehicle.b. the solar plugin station uses solar power to charge all of the cars.c. chicago is a city，which is rich in oil.d. the solar plugin station consists of underground battery packs.e. scott emalfarb is optimistic about the future of plugin electric vehicles.a2. b3. c4. d5.52the passage implies that when the solar plugin station becomes popular，_.a. more visitors will come to chicagob. the citizens of chicago will be able to go to work fasterc. more space for electric vehicles will be neededd. the cost of electric vehicles will be lower than traditional cars53what would be the best title for the
