If a ten-year old boy goes to the park with his parents, they will have to pay atleast _A. $22 B. $37 C. $28 D. $45BOwning a smart phone may not be as smart as you think. They may let you surf the Internet,listen to music and snap photos wherever you are, but they also turn you into a workaholic (工作狂) , it seems.A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, the smart phone addsas much as two hours to your working day. Researchers found that Britons work an additional460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles. The studyshows the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours, but a further 2 hours is spentresponding to or sending work emails, or making work calls.Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working daychecking work emails. Some workers confess they are on call almost 24 hours a day. Nearlytwo - thirds say they often check work emails just before they go to bed and as soon as theywake up, while over a third have replied to one in the middle of the night. The average timefor first checking emails is between 6 a. m. and 7 a. m. , with more than a third checking theirfirst email in this period, and a quarter checking them between 11p. m. and midnight.Ghadi Hobeika, marketing director of Pixmania, said: The ability to access millions of Apps, keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and callhas made smart phones valuable for many people. However, there are drawbacks. Manycompanies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smartphones mean that people cannot get away from work. The more constantly in contact we be-come, the more is expected of us in a work capacity. ( ) 24. With a smart phone the average UK working day is _A. 9 to 10 hours B. 11 to 12 hours C. 8 hours D. 2 hours( ) 25. It could be inferred from the text that the British people _A. prefer to check emails in the afternoonB. are crazy about different smart phonesC. shorten their normal working hoursD. work extra hours with smart phones( ) 26. The underlined word “ drawbacks in the last paragraph probably meansA. mistakes B. faultsC. disadvantages D. features( ) 27. What can we conclude from the text?A. All that glitters is not gold. B. Every coin has two sides.C. It never rains but pours. D. Its no good crying over spilt milk.CWhen I arrived at the hospital kitchen at 6 am, Rose was already checking name tags(标签) on the trays (托盘). Hi, Im Janet, I tried to sound cheerful, although I already knew Roses reputation for being impossible to work with. Im scheduled to work with you this week. Rose, a middle - aged woman, stopped what she was doing and looked closely over herreading glasses. I could tell from her expression she wasnt pleased to see a student worker.What do you want me to do? Start the coffee? I asked.Rose nodded and went back to check name tags.I filled the 40 - cup pot with cold water and began making coffee when Rose yelled,Thats not the way to make coffee ! She stepped in and took over. Nothing that I did pleasedher.Back at home, I stayed alone in my room, fighting back tears. I thought, Maybe shedidnt feel well. Maybe she had some trouble. I decided to forgive her and try to get alongwith her.The next morning, I ignored (忽视) Roses hurtful remarks and did things in her way asmuch as possible.Over the next few days an amazing thing began to happen. My focus shifted from what shewas doing to me, and I started seeing Rose as the person she was hurting. The icy tension be-gan to melt away.Throughout the rest of the summer, we had a lot of opportunities to work together. Eachtime she seemed happy to see me. As I worked with this lonely woman, I listened to her-something no one else had done. I learned that she was burdened by elderly parents who nee-ded her care and her own health problems.That summer I learned a lesson Ive never forgotten. The world is full of people like Rose- annoying, demanding, unlovable-yet hurting inside. Ive found that love is the best wayto turn an enemy into a friend.( ) 28. What was Roses attitude towards the author the first day they met?A. Dissatisfied. B. Curious.C. Polite. D. Sad.( ) 29. After getting home from work, the authorA. was very tired B. felt quite unwellC. was very lonely D. felt quite upset( ) 30. What did the author do after her first day of working with Rose?A.

The author has the same family background as Rose.C. Misfortunes test the sincerity of friends.D. Man is his own greatest enemy.DYoull probably never go to the Mars or sing on the stage with pop stars. But with the helpof virtual reality (VR), you might be able to do all these things without even leaving yourhome. Unlike real reality, VR means simulating (模拟) bits of our world. Besides gamesand entertainment, its been long used for training airlines pilots and doctors and for helpingscientists to figure out complex problems such as the structure of protein molecules. Thenwhats the working principle (原理) ?Close your eyes and think of VR and you probably picture something like this: a manwearing a headset and data gloves wired (用线连接) into a powerful workstation or supercom-puter. What makes VR different from an ordinary computer experience is the nature of the in-put (输入) and output. Where an ordinary computer uses things like a keyboard, mouse, or speech recognition for input, VR uses sensors (传器) that find out how your body is mov-ing. And where a PC displays output on a screen, VR uses two screens ( one for each eye) ,surround - sound speakers, and maybe some forms of touch and body feedback as well.VR has been generally applied （运用) by scientists, doctors, dentists, engineers, ar-chitects, archaeologists, and the army for about the last 30 years. Difficult and dangerousjobs are hard to train for. How can you safely practice taking a trip to space, making a jumpfrom an airplane, or carrying out a brain operation? All these things are obvious applications ofVR.Like other technologies in the world, from radio and TV to computer games and the Inter-net, VR has both good and bad points. Thus, VR takes little or nothing away from the realworld: you dont have to use it if you dont want to.( ) 32. According to the passage, which of the following is a kind of virtual reality?A. Flying high in the sky in your dream.B. Working out a math problem by yourself.C. Practicing swimming in a pool.D. Traveling in space by spaceship in a lab.( ) 33. What equipment does virtual reality use for input?A. A keyboard. B. Sensors. C. A screen. D. A speaker.( ) 34. TV is mentioned in the last paragraph toA. advise us to make use of virtual realityB. show the difference between virtual reality and other technologiesC. prove that technology has advantages and disadvantagesD. warn people not to be addicted to it( ) 35. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The importance of virtual reality.B. The difference between real reality and virtual reality.C. The equipment needed for virtual reality.D. The principles and applications of virtual reality.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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Best Way to Save MoneyThough the best way to save money can vary from person to person, depending on age,family size and other characteristics, there are still some easy things that all shoppers can do tokeep more money in their bank accounts.Avoid impulse（冲动的）purchases.When you shop, a best way to save money is to have a plan in mind to help you avoid im-pulse purchases. 36 And you only carry the exact amount of cash （现金）that you willneed for your planned purchase.
