parents most. but as soon as carmen went to school, she seemed to grow up and grow apart from her family, and any father finds it difficult with a teenage daughter. she was very moody and had an odd group of friends. there was an endless stream of strange young men coming to our house. i remember once got annoyed with her in front of her friends and she didnt talk to me for days. ive always

someone has received a text message. but nowadays there are so many different ways of messaging someone that it could spell the death of the traditional text as we know it. text messaging, or texting, is the art of sending a short, electronic message between two mobile phones or tablets(平板电脑) but in the last few years, messaging in this manner has been on the decline. the rise of smartphones and tablets has seen an increase in the use of instant messaging apps(应用程序)， which offer a cheap alternative to conventional texts. using wireless internet connections or mobile data networks, people can send limitless numbers of instant messages to their friends for very little cost. unlike traditional mobile texts, the user usually only has to pay to download the app once, after which each message they send is free. web developers soon got the message. instant messaging apps have become popular all over the world. whatsapp in america and europe, wechat in china and kakaotalk in south korea are but a few which have attracted hundreds of millions of people, who use the apps to chat to their friends in real time. these apps allow people to send picture messages for free-something which previously was quite costly. research firm informa said that almost 19 billion messages were sent per day using chat apps in 2012, compared with 17.6 billion sms(short message service) texts. and it expects the chat app market to grow t0 50 billion per day by 2014. so does this really mean the end for communication by text? pamela clark-dickson from informa doesnt think so. she says that there are a considerable number of people who use normal mobile phones, particularly in developing countries, who prefer the sms messaging tool: they dont have mobile data plans, so there is an awfully big base of mobile phone users who are still going to find that sms is the best messaging experience for them for a while.31. when you hear a mobile phone beeping, it means that _. a. you will be forgiven for your mistakes b. someone has got a text message c. the traditional text has disappeared d. someone has got some kind of message32. why has text messaging been on the decline in recent years? a. because sending text messages is an art. b. because there are too many tablets nowadays. c. because instant messaging is much cheaper. d. because it doesnt need internet connections.33. what does the underlined part got the message probably mean? a. knew what people liked b. received instant messages c. became very popular d. used the apps to chat34. what can be inferred from the last paragraph? a. people wont use communication by text someday. b. people in developing countries are considerate. c. people dont use smart phones in developing countries. d. people can use sms without any mobile data plans.35. what is best title for the passage? a. sms texts b. smart phones c. trends in messaging d. instant message apps【参考答案】dcadc【2014高考英语河南省内黄一中一模】bif it really is whats on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.some doctors now think that the internal(内部的) fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.“being thin doesnt surely mean you are not fat,” said dr jimmy bell at imperial college. since 1994, bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with mri machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.according to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.even people with normal body mass index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal bmi scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.according to bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. they eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes(糖尿病). they want to prove that internal fat damages the bodys communication systems.the good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “if you want to be healthy, there is no shortcut. exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle.” bell said.60. what is the passage mainly about?a. thin people may be fat inside.b. internal fat is of no importance.c. internal fat leads to many diseases.d. thin people dont have diabetes.61. according to the passage, which of the following is wrong?aexercise can help to reduce the internal fat.bpeople can get rid of internal fat by improving diet. cmen are more likely to have too much internal fat. dpeople with heart disease all have internal fat.62. from the last paragraph, we can find that _.ainternal fat leading to disease has been proved bexercise plays an important role in peoples life for keeping healthy cthin people usually have internal fat even if they are slim dit is easier to burn off internal fat than external fat 63. the underlined part in the last paragraph means _.aa long road ba clear difference can easy way da short distance 【参考答案】6063、adbc 【2014高考英语江西省景德镇质量检测】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的a、b、c、d四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 italys highest court has upheld（支持） the

times and yet judges have now decided that he is guilty of tax fraud and should go to jail. its the first time in all his many court cases that he has been definitively convicted（定罪）. there can be no

reports from washington. the white house says granting edward snowden asylum undermines (暗中破坏) cooperation between the u.s. and russia. and they insist he is not a whistle blower, not a dissident. hes been charged with criminal offenses. they openly admit that the relationship with russia is already difficult with many points of conflict. up until now, a most serious was over the approach to syria

of a planned summit between the two leaders. share prices in the u.s. reached all time highs, the dow jones index set a new record while the wider index of the u.s. market the s&p 500 went over 1700 points for the first time. heres andrew walker. the share price gains partly reflect some upbeat(乐观的) news about the u.s economy, the survey of manufactures showed stronger activity last month. there has also been a decline in the number of people applying for unemployment benefits, but the exceptional policies of the federal reserve are also an important and persistent factor driving the stock

【2014高考英语江西省景德镇质量检测】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的a、b、c、d四个选项中，选出最佳选项。a new study suggests that middle-class teenagers are less intelligent than a generation ago due to the dumbing down (简化)of youth culture and school tests.iq tests show that scores for the average 14-year-old have dropped by more than two points between 1984 and 2012. for those in the upper half of the intelligence scale-a group typically dominated(支配) by the children of middle-class families-average iq scores were six points down on 28 years ago. their leisure time is increasingly taken up with playing computer games and watching tv instead of reading and holding conversations.education experts said a growing tendency in schools to teach to the test was affecting youngsters ability to think laterally.for the study, professor james flynn, of the university of otago in new zealand, analysed uk childrens scores in iq tests over time. he found a regular pattern that iqs increased among children aged between 5 and 10 over the 28-year-period, at the rate of up to half a point a year. he believes these gains are linked to changes to the home environment children experienced when they were young, with parents increasingly providing stimulating activities.but professor flynn also found that teenagers scores had dipped slightly over the past generation. it is the first time iq scores have fallen for any age group during
