8.Use phones respectfully
You probably spend more time with your smart phone than any other possession.You take it everywhere-to school,to meals,and even to the bathroom,(36)E But we have to learn to use our phones respectfully or at least without offending(冒犯) others around us.Here are some tips for smart phone usage.Take a look.
Use"do not disturb"instead of"vibrate(振动)"
Loud vibrations in your trousers are disturbing.People can hear your phone vibrate,depending on how severely it vibrates.(37)B
Tell others what you're doing
Sometimes,you will be in a situation in which you need to use your smart phone.(38)G If you don't,people will think that you're either communicating with someone else or just getting bored.
(39)A
Respect others'privacy(隐私) as text and e-mail senders by not letting what they type appear on the home screen of your phone when you receive a new message.While you're at it,use a password to make sure the information you share with others stays between you.
Ask permission to swipe(滑动)
When someone hands you their phone to look at a photo,this doesn't mean you can swipe through all of their photo albums.(40)D

A.Don't use the text preview feature(以…为主要内容) on your home screen.
B.It is difficult to ignore and distracts(使分散注意力) people from whatever they are doing.
C.You should use your smart phone secretly.
D.They probably want you to see the one photo they hand to you,not every photo they have taken.
E.Of course,a smart phone is a great way to keep in touch and share life events.
F.So it's thrilling to look through all their photos.
G.Just tell people what you're doing and why you're doing it.

分析 本文主要介绍了在使用手机时需要注意的事项:1、使用"请勿打扰"而不是"振动";2、告诉别人你正在做什么;3、不要在主屏幕上使用文本预览功能;4、当有人让你看他们的手机照片时,这并不意味着你可以浏览所有的相册.

解答 36-40 EBGAD
36.E联系上下文.根据前句You take it everywhere-to school,to meals,and even to the bathroom.可知你把它带到学校,吃饭也带着,甚至在浴室.根据后句But we have to learn to use our phones respectfully or at least without offending(冒犯) others around us.可知但我们要学会恭敬地使用手机或至少不冒犯我们周围的人.由此可知,此处表达的意思是:智能手机是一个用以保持联系和分享生活事件的很好的方式.故选E.
37.B语境辨析题.根据前句Loud vibrations in your trousers are disturbing.People can hear your phone vibrate,depending on how severely it vibrates.可知你裤子里的巨大振动令人不安,人们可以听到你的手机振动,这取决于振动的严重程度.由此可知,此处表达的意思是:人们很难忽略和从他们正在做的事情上分散注意力.故选B.
38.G联系上下文.根据本段小标题Tell others what you're doing告诉别人你正在做什么.由此可知,此处表达的意思是:告诉别人你在做什么,为什么要这样做.故选G.
39.A小标题选择题.根据本段主要介绍了要尊重他人的隐私,当你收到一个新的信息时,不要让它们的内容出现在你的手机主屏幕上.由此可知,此处表达的意思是:不要在主屏幕上使用文本预览功能.故选A.
40.D语境辨析题.根据前句When someone hands you their phone to look at a photo,this doesn't mean you can swipe through all of their photo albums.可知当有人让你看他们的手机照片时,这并不意味着你可以浏览所有的相册.由此可知,此处表达的意思是:他们可能希望你看到他们给你的一张照片,而不是他们拍的每一张照片.故选D.

点评 完成七选五阅读时,我们可以从关联词上查找答案.由于英语的句段之间经常会运用关联词表示衔接和过渡,使文章逻辑更清楚和连贯,因此文章中和选项中表示各种逻辑关系的路标性信号词在选择答案时都是很重要的线索.在做题时可将这三个层面的线索很好地结合起来.

18.Saving the planet one plateful at a time does not mean cutting back on meat,according to new research:the trick may be to switch our diet to insects.
The raising of livestock such as cows,pigs and sheep occupies two thirds of the world's farmland and produces 20% of all the greenhouse gases driving global warming.As a result,the United Nations wants to reduce the amount of meat we eat and the search is on for alternatives.
Professor Arnold van Huis says eating insects(昆虫) has advantages(优势)."There is a meat crisis,"he said."The world population will grow from six billion now to nine billion by 2050 and we know people are consuming more meat.Twenty years ago the average was 20kg,it is now 50kg,and will be 80kg in 20 years.If we continue like this we will need another Earth."
"Most of the world already eats insects,"he points out."It is only in the western world that we don't.Psychologically(心理上的) we have a problem with it.I don't know why,as we eat shrimps,which are very comparable."
The advantages of this diet include insects'high levels of protein,vitamin and mineral content.Being coldblooded,insects change plant matter into protein extremely efficiently.In addition,the health risks are lower.He acknowledges that in the west eating insects is a hard sell,"It is very important how you prepare them,you have to do it very nicely,to overcome the yuk factor."
Durst helped set up an insect farming project FAO project in Laos.This involves transferring the skills of the 15,000 household locust farmers in Thailand across the border."There were some supporters of a bigger dairy industry in Laos to improve a calcium(钙) deficiency,"says Durst."But this is crazy when most Asians are lactose (乳糖) intolerant(不耐受)."Locusts and crickets are calciumrich and 90% of people in Laos have eaten insects at some point.Durst says the project will be to increase the eating of insects where this is already accepted but has been in decline due to western cultural influence.

25.According to Van Huis,westerners don't eat insects becauseB.
A.there are fewer nutriments in insects
B.they can't overcome a mental barrier(精神障碍)
C.insects aren't as delicious as shrimps
D.insects don't have much meat themselves
26.It can be inferred from what Durst said thatD.
A.Laos is where locusts and cricket are eaten most
B.people in Laos are good at cooking eating insects
C.eating insects in Laos is much more popular at presen t
D.milk isn't suitable for most Asian people to increase calcium
27.What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A
A.Insects Are the Future of Protein
B.Insects Are Rich in Calcium
C.Insects Are the Target of Eating
D.Insects Are the Alternative for Food.
3.You often find somebody who works around you complaining all the time,don't you?(36)BAbout 70% of Americans say being around non-stop complainers sometimes has a bad influence on them.Luckily,here are 4tips to help form positive patterns.
1.Form self-awareness
When a negative thought pops into your mind,immediately correct it.Instead of telling"That's a nice shirt,but I can't afford it",change the message into"That will look great with my black pants when I can afford it".(37)G
2.Distance yourself
(38)EExcuse yourself and go somewhere quiet,somewhere outdoors in the fresh air.Think of something pleasant before returning.You have to take this seriously because negative people can and will pull you into the quicksand(困境).
3.Don't try to change complainers
If you find yourself trapped in a group of complainers in a meeting or at a social event,simply choose silence.Let their words bounce off you while you think of something else.Attempting to stop the complaining can make you a target.(39)F If someone says,"I hate Mondays,weekends are too short,"try to think,"I'm glad that I rested up over the weekend,so I'm really ready to make some improvement on that big project."
(40)C
When someone is shouting at you angrily,throw the responsibility back at them by asking,"So what do you intend to do about it?"In most cases,complainers don't really want a solution.They just want to speak it out.If you make them aware that they themselves have to find the solution,they will leave you alone and find someone else to complain to.If so,you will be happy.

A.Find solutions
B.You are not alone in this case.
C.Change responsibility
D.You will never know what they are going to talk about.
E.Whenever possible,escape from negative conversations.
F.But you can redirect the discussion in your own mind.
G.By doing this,it will lead to positive behaviors.
13.While you are online there are plenty of perfectly legal sites where you can listen to music for free.This gives you the chance to listen to music before buying it,discover new music,and create great online playlists that you can share with others.

Pow Wow

20.When I was 12,all I wanted was a signet (图章) ring.They were the"in"thing and it seemed every girl except me had one.On my 13th birthday,my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials(姓名首字母) carved into it.I was in heaven.
What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn't being"replaced".We'd been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything-so most of the"new"stuff (东西) we got was really just to replace what we'd lost.But not my ring.My ring was new.
Then,only one month later,I lost it.I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning.I was sad and searched everywhere for it.But it seemed to have disappeared.Eventually,I gave up and stopped looking for it.And two years later,we sold the house and moved away.
Years passed,and a couple of moves later,I was visiting my parents'when Mum told me that she had something for me.It wasn't my birthday,nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other gift-giving occasion.Mum noticed my questioning look."You'll recognize this one,"she said,smiling.
Then she handed me a small ring box.I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside.The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations,which included replacing the carpets.When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom,they found the ring.As it had my initials carved into it,they realized who owned the ring.They'd had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother.And it still fits me.

17.Living near the beach may come with an extra advantage:better health.A new study analyzed information from more than 48million people in England and found that the nearer they lived to the coast,the more likely people were to report good health within the past year.
Living near the coast may be associated with better health because the seaside environment reduces stress,the researchers said.They pointed to another British study that found that people who took trips to the coast experienced more feelings of calmness and relaxation than those who visited urban parks or the countryside.
The difference from living near the coast was relatively small.But a small effect,when applied to an entire population can have a substantial impact on public health,said study researcher Ben Wheeler of Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry in Exeter,England.
However,it's too soon to advise people to hit the beach to improve health,Wheeler said.The study only found an association,not a cause-effect link,and it's possible that other factors could explain the results.For instance,it could be that people who are wealthier,and therefore healthier,are more able to move to desired locations such as the coast,Wheeler said,a phenomenon known as the migrant effect.But the study did find that the association between coastal living and better health was strongest for those living in the poorest areas,which perhaps indicates that wealth cannot explain the results,Wheeler said.
Because the study looked at only England-an island country in which everyone lives within 72miles of the coast,it's not clear whether the findings would apply to other populations.Far from England,a health expert not involved in the study said that while the British research certainly doesn't prove that people's health and the place they live are linked,it's possible that proximity to the seas does something for our bodies.
29.We can conclude from the passage thatA.
A.people living near the sea may be healthier
B.people pay increasingly attention to health
C.people are encouraged to move to the coast
D.people are worried about residential environment
30.According to the researchers,living near the seaC.
A.doesn't nearly affect the British population
B.can cure some difficult diseases in a way
C.can help get over one's stress
D.means freeing from sadness or troubles
31What does the underlined word"proximity"in the passage mean?D
A.being distant      
B.being opposite     
C.being similar     
D.being close.
15.The Ramayana tells the story of a battle between the Hindu (印度教的) god Vishnu and a demon (魔鬼) called Ravana.None of the gods could fight Ravana because of a promise they had foolishly made earlier.So Vishnu decided to be reborn as a man,and then he would be able to fight Ravana.
So Vishnu was born as the prince Rama.Rama was supposed to be king when his father died,but at the last minute his father decided to make his brother king instead.Rama and his other brother Lakshmana and Rama's wife Sita went away to live a simple life in the forest,where the demon Ravana's sister fell in love with Rama and tried to get Rama to leave Sita.When Rama said no,Ravana's sister attacked him,but Rama and his brother Lakshmana fought her off.
The demon went back to her brother Ravana on the island of Lanka and complained to him that Rama had attacked her.Also,Ravana's sister told him how beautiful Rama's wife Sita was.So he went to the forest to see for himself.
When Ravana got to the forest,he found itwas true.So he took Sita back to Lanka.Sita was very sad there and missed Rama very much.
Rama and his brother Lakshmana needed help to rescue Sita,so they went to see the king of the monkeys,Hanuman,who had the magic power to make himself bigger or smaller.Hanuman found Sita on the island of Lanka and told her that Rama was coming to save her.Sita was very happy,but then the demon Ravana caught Hanuman and set his tail on fire!In the end,however,Hanuman escaped and set fire to the whole island of Lanka.
Hanuman went back to the forest and got Rama and Lakshmana,and they all went together with the whole monkey army to attack the island of Lanka.The monkeys made a bridge over to the island.There was a terrible battle,but finally Rama killed the demon Ravana.
