Now, when you go to a certain shopping mall, you can enjoy its free Wi-Fi there. When you want to take a taxi, you can book one with your phone. In fact, all these can be seen as the basic parts of a smart city. The idea of a smart city was brought up by US company IBM in xx. Generally, a smart city is a city that uses digital technologies such as the Internet to improve city planning, save money and resources, and make our life convenient. How smart can a city be? Here are great examples that we can learn from. In xx, Dubuque became the first smart city in the US. The city used smart water meters to take the place of traditional water meters. They can detect（探测）water waste and leakage（泄漏）and send data to let the house owner know. The same system is used for other city resources like electricity and natural gas. This way, people know how they use their resources and are glad to help reduce waste. Santander in Spain also gives us a look at the future. If people point a phone toward a nearby bus stop, the phone immediately shows all bus lines that serve the stop as well as their arrival times. The government organized a research team and provided an App that collects data on almost everything: light, temperature, and the movements of cars and people. Opening the App near a supermarket provides immediate information on special offers.( ) 36. According to the passage, which of the following is RIGHT?A.

Spain and the US take the leading position in building smart cities.CThere is an old saying in English, “Laughter is the best medicine”. Until recently, few people took the saying very seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to study laughter and the effects (作用) it has on the human body. They have found evidence that laughter really can improve peoples health. Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate of breathing. It also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be helpful. Other tests have shown that laughter appears to make the effect of pain on the body less. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group which could bear the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can make pain less seems to be that it helps to produce endorphins (内啡肽) in the brain. These are natural chemicals which make both stress and pain less. There is also some evidence to suggest that laughter helps the bodys immune system that is the system which fights infection (感染). In an experiment, one group of students watched a funny video while another group served as the control group in other words, a group with which to compare the first group. Doctors checked the blood of the students in both groups and found that the people in the group that watched the video had an increase in the activity of their white blood cells that is the cells which fight infection. As a result of these discoveries, some doctors and psychiatrists (精神病学) in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they try to improve their patients condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce good effects similar to those caused by laughter.( ) 41. We learn from the first paragraph that laughter _ . A. is good for ones health B. has something to do with some illness C. has been studied long since D. has no effect on the body( ) 42. Doctors have found that laughter _ . A. keeps down blood pressure B. has similar effects to physical exercise C. decreases the heart rate D. increases stress( ) 43. Which of the following statements is NOT true of laughter according to the passage? A. It makes pain less. B. It exercises the body. C. It improves the bodys immune system. D. It can cure cancer.( ) 44. Smiling can produce _. A. about the same effects as laughter B. more effects than laughter C. fewer effects on the human body D. no effects on the human body( ) 45. The main idea of this passage is that _. A. the doctors should learn how to make people laugh B. there are several ways of studying the advantages of laughter C. tests show that laughter can produce active effects on human body D. laughter and physical exercise have the same effects on human body第二部分非选择题（共60分）四、阅读表达。（每小题2分，共10分）Different countries have different customs. When you are in different countries, you should follow their customs. Very often people who travel to the United States forget to tip (付小费). It is usual to tip porters who help carry your bags, taxi drivers and waiters. Waiters expect to get a 15% tip on the cost of your meal. Taxi drivers expect the same amount. In England, make sure to stand in line even if there are only two of you. Its important to respect lines there. Its a good idea to talk about the weather. Its a favourite subject of conversation with the British. In Spain, its a good idea to have a light meal in the afternoon if someone invites you for dinner. People have dinner very late, and restaurants do not generally open until after 9 pm. In Saudi Arabia(沙特阿拉伯), men kiss each other on the cheek (脸颊). Your host may welcome you with a kiss on both cheeks. It is polite of you to do the same. In Japan, people usually give personal or business cards to each other when they meet for the first time. When a person gives you a card, dont put it into your pocket right away. The person expects you to read it first.Dont forget to be careful of your body language to express something in conversation. After all, body languages mean differently in different countries. A kind of body language that is acceptable(可接受的) in one culture may be impolite in another. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过8个词。 46. How many countries are mentioned in the passage? 47. In Which country do people think its important to stand in line? 48. When can people have dinner in Spain? 49. What should you do first when you receive a personal or business card in Japan? 50. Why should people be careful of their body languages in conversation? 五、任务型阅读根据短文内容完成表格中所缺信息，每空一词（每小题1分，共10分）In England, many people are angry that drivers park their cars on the pavements(人行道). Cars that are on the pavement block(堵) people from walking safely down the street. They have to walk into the road to get around the cars. The charity for the blind, Guide Dogs, said blocking the pavement is “inconsiderate and dangerous”. It says its a lot more difficult for blind people to walk around the town if cars are in their way. A spokesman for the charity told the BBC, “It can be frightening for anyone who is forced to step into a road because the pavement is blocked by a truck, a car or other badly parked vehicle. Imagine you have to step into a road where you cant see oncoming traffic.” A survey on parking in Britain found that 70 percent of people want a ban(禁令) on parking on pavement. A town south of London has already started a system to get drivers to park on the road or in a proper car park. Any motorist who parks on the pavement gets a $115 fine. However, many people say the fines do not work. Local people say car owners dont mind the fine and park where they want. People pushing their children in baby cars and people in wheelchairs are afraid to walk on busy roads where there is heavy traffic. She wants her town to be like London, which has strict rules against pavement parking.The pavement 51 problems Attitudes(态度)In Englandl People are 52 with the drivers who park their cars on the pavements.In 53l 70 percent of people want a ban on parking on pavement. 54 results l Cars on the pavement block people from walking safely down the street.l Blind people cannot walk 55 around the town because the cars are in their way.l People can be 56 when they have to step into a road where they cannot see the oncoming traffic.Problem solvingl A town in the 57 of London has already started a system to get drivers to park on the road or in a proper car park.l Any motorist who parks on the pavement has to 58 for fine.l There are strict rules 59 pavement parking in London.Worriesl Many people say the fines do not work. 60 people say car owners dont mind the fine and park where they want.l People pushing their children in baby cars and people in wheelchairs are afraid to walk on busy roads.51._ 52._ 53._54._ 55._56._ 57._ 58._ 59._ 60._六、词汇运用（每题1分，共10分）A.根据句意和汉语提示在空白处填入一个适当的单词。61.
