These drivers know all too well how bad the traffic can be. “Therere too many cars, and you cant move around a lot.”Professor Cyrus Shahabi also knows about traffic jams. He lives more than 65 kilometers from his office at the University of Southern California, in Los Angeles. He is always late even with the help of a navigation (导航) system.He decided to develop a program called ClearPath for that. He says his program uses historical data to predict traffic conditions even before the driver leaves the house.“Whats unique is that we use a lot of data thats currently become available including traffic data, weather data, and we analyze that so that we can predict whats going to happen in front of you when you leave home.”Professor Shahabi says his system does more than just respond to current traffic conditions. With ClearPath, he says, a driver can decide what time he wants to leave, and ClearPath will give the fastest route. It looks at the entire road network, including surface streets as well as highways, before the driver hits the road. Professor Shahabi hopes to have ClearPath available nationwide and overseas once they can collect traffic data from other cities.“I always thought that Los Angeles had the worst traffic, but now I know that Shanghai, Beijing, Seoul, Tokyo, believe it or not, Singapore, Hong Kong certainly are examples that can immediately use this. ”Professor Shahabi hopes to share this new technology with companies that already have navigation systems, such as Google and Apple.1.Drivers in Los Angeles were mentioned in order to_.

Putting a smile on someones face when you know they are feeling down in the dumps ( 处于沮丧中), as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my heart. How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-worker, neighbor, close friend, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I dont know the person Im joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is common courtesy (礼貌) to speak to others that are around you. I know of a few people that dont have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They dont get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke? Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to bypass the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.【小题1】According to the author, humor is useful in the aspect that _. Ait makes people more confidentBit can pick up people s spiritsCit can help rid the cruelty in the worldDit can help people get on well with others【小题2】The phrase “busting a gut in the third paragraph can be replaced by _.

APositive.BCritical.CSatisfied.DIndifferent. 【浙江省2014高考英语模拟冲刺卷】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项标号涂黑。Change is everything in the case of mobile phones. Recent research indicates that the mobile phone is changing not only our culture, but our very bodies as well. First, lets talk about culture. The difference between the mobile phone and its parent, the fixed-line phone, is that a mobile number corresponds to a person, while a landline goes to a place. If you call my mobile, you get me. If you call my fixed-line phone, you get whoever answers it. This has several implications（含义）. The most common one, however, and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture forever, is the “meeting” influence. People no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet. Twenty years ago, a Friday night would need to be arranged in advance. You needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of work to the first meeting place. Now, however, a night out can be arranged on the run. It is no longer “see you there at 8”,but “text me around 8 and well see where we all are.” Texting changes people as well. In their paper, “Insights into the Social and Psychological Effects of SMS (Short Message Service) Text Messaging, two British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users: the “talkers” and the “texters”those who prefer voice to text messages and those who prefer text to voice. They found that the mobile phones individuality and privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole new outer personality. Texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were to read their texts. This suggests that texting allowed texters to present a self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well. Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language. There are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone. There is the “speakeasy”: the head is held high, in a self-confident way, chatting away. And there is the “spacemaker”: these people focus on themselves and keep out other people. Who can blame them? Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera- phones intrude（侵入）on peoples privacy. So, it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous. But perhaps you neednt worry so much. After all, it is good to talk.41. The “meeting” influence of a mobile phone refers to the fact that _.A. people can arrange their meeting place and time more flexiblyB. people have to make a firm plan about when and where to meetC. people are able to meet someone at any place and any timeD. people have to attend phone meetings than ever before42. According to the two British researchers, the Social and Psychological Effects are most likely to be seen on _. A. talkersB. the “speakeasy”C. the “spacemaker” D. texters43.Wecaninferfromthepassagethatthetextssentbytextersare_. A. showing or making known B.wellwrittenC.unacceptablebyothersD.shockingtoothers44. According to the passage, who is afraid of being heard while talking on the mobile?A. talkersB. the “speakeasy”C. the “spacemaker” D. texters45. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. The Influence of Short Message ServiceB. Changes Caused by Mobile Phone UseC. Changes in the Use of the MobileD.

Live Below Your MeansThere will always be temptation to give up the future for immediate pleasure. We all want to buy that new piece of technology, treat ourselves to an expensive night on the town, or take out a loan for the flashy car we cant afford. It might feel great at the time but unwise spending hurts a lot later on. Enjoy lifes simple pleasures and save as much as you can. Expensive things dont create lasting happiness and security. Careful spending will bring you greater leisure and enjoyment in the long run.2. Put Your Money to WorkSaving is great, but to make the most of your money you need to put it to work. Good investments can be the difference between retiring in your 40s or in your 60s. A post today at The Simple Dollar really got me thinking. According to Trents estimates, if a person in their early 20s invests 20% of their income in an S&P index fund, the interest they earn will equal their current salary when they reach their early 40s. They could retire without a drop in income! Wise investing is the surest path to financial independence and its something everyone can work on. Its definitely an area Ill be devoting more attention to in my personal life.3. Educate YourselfTo be happy we need continuous growth. The best way to grow is life-long education. This doesnt mean you need to pursue a doctorate or spend 2 hours reading every day. Self-education can be anything that takes you out of your comfort zone. The important part is keeping an open mind and searching for fresh ideas and perspectives. Education builds over time. It might feel like the bits of wisdom you acquire dont mean much, but over the years they add up to form a wiser, kinder, more interesting person.4. Develop Lasting Personal RelationshipsSuppose you had everything you wanted. Would you be happy without anyone to share it with? The personal relationships we develop with friends and family members are the greatest source of happiness in our lives. Dont forget about them. Taking the time to cultivate and enjoy personal relationships is essential to long-term happiness. Without the people you care about youll probably be miserable, no matter how successful you become.46.According to the passage, in order to achieve financial independence after retirement, wed better _.A. get along well with our family and friendsB. bring ourselves leisure as well as enjoymentC. invest our money wisely when we are youngD. learn some new skills and try to find a new job47.From the passage we can infer that some people try to _.A. gain happiness by buying themselves expensive thingsB. save everything they can to help those in needC. devote more attention to their personal lifeD. take out a loan to promote technology48.The author of the passage may agree that the key to self-education is _.A. gaining as many degrees as possibleB. being open to new ideas and viewsC. only focusing on very big eventsD. creating long-term happiness49.The above passage is written in order to _.A. explain what true happiness is aboutB. offer ways to achieve a happy and successful lifeC. introduce different definitions about happinessD. persuade readers to find out the meaning of life46.C 根据文章第二段Trent的估计内容，以及后面两个句子的内容可以知道。 47.A 根据文章的第一段倒数第二句话（昂贵的物品并不能带来持久的幸福和安全）可知。48.B 根据文章第三段The important part is keeping an open mind and searching for fresh ideas and perspectives可知。 49.B 本题考查对文章写作意图的把握，文章的四个段落都是用来向读者介绍一些创造美好生活的技巧和方法的，所以应该选B。2016高考英语阅读理解-政治经济文化类CANYOUMAGINEHOWHARDITWOULDBETOREADSENTENCESLIKES? Every one of us gets so used to punctuation marks that not many of us give them a secondthoughtActually，the ancient Greeks wrote this wayThe lack of punctuation marks probably didnt bother good readers，thoughAs they read，they just put pauses where they fit best. Also at this time，sentences switched directionsA sentence read from leftto rightThe next one read right to left，and then left to right again，etcThe ancient Romans sometimes punctuatedlike this：They put somethingthat can separate words in a sentenceThe wordpunctuationactually comes from this idea andthe Latin word“punctum”which means a lot. When the 5th century arrived，there were just twopunctuation marks：spaces and pointsThe spaces separated words while the points showed pauses in readingThen in the 13th century，a printer named Aldus Manutius tried to standardize punctuationHe always used a period for a complete stop at the end of a sentenceHe used a slash()toindicate a short pauseOver timethat slash was shortened and curled，and it became the modern comma(逗号) Since that time，other marks have enlarged the punctuation familyThe exclamation mark(
