【1】D 计算题。根据第一则广告中Admission is ＄1 for children up to 13, ＄2.50 for senior citizens, and ＄5 for others.可知入场费成年人每人5美元，13岁以下的儿童1美元，老人2.5美元。高中生算是成年人了，和他的父母一起算3个成年人，共15美元，5岁的小弟弟1美元。所以一共是16美元。故D正确。

【2】B 细节题。根据第三则广告的最后一句About one milion people per year come to the top of the Arch, where there is an observation platform providing a great view of the city.可知人们可以登到the Arch的顶上刊登美丽的风景。故B正确。

【3】A 细节题。根据文章最后一段第一句The Zoo is open every day but Christmas and New Year, with summer hours of 8 AM to 7 PM, and hours the rest of the year of 9 AM to 5 PM.可知在夏天这家动物园早上8点到晚上7点都开放。所以A项中上午8点半是可以进入动物园参观的。其余三项的时间都不符合。故A正确。

【题目】As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night,it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is necessary for a healthy mind and body.

Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact,it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.

The amount of stress a person can bear depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress and such characters are obviously important material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress in whatever form we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choices between “fight” and “flight” and in more ancient days the choice made the difference between life and death. The crises (危机）we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme,but however little the stress,it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long,through continued exposure to stress that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives(it would be unwise to do so even if we could),we need to find ways to deal with it.

【1】People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because_________.

A. they are travelling fast all the time

B. they are becoming busier with their work

C. they do not know how to enjoy themselves

D. they do not believe that relaxation is important for health

【2】In Paragraph 3,” such a reaction” refers to “___________”.

A. responding to crises quickly

B. losing heart on seeing difficulties

C. making a choice between ‘flight' and ‘fight'

D. reacting to stress both chemically and physically

【3】We can learn from the text that _______.

A. stress is always harmful to people

B. we can find some ways to avoid stress

C. different people can bear different amounts of stress

D. it is easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work

【4】What would the passage deal with,if it were to continue?

A.How to keep mentally fit.

B.Why we have a tight schedule.

C.How to handle stress correctly.

D.How we can benefit from stress.

【题目】If you have a bad habit of losing things, a new device that can be connected to any item that you might lose may be the way to solve your problem. The Tile, a small square linked up to your iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth, lets you see how close you are to the missing item, within a 50-to 150-foot range . If the item goes out of your phone’s 150-foot range, it can still be detected (发现) on other smartphones with the same app.

When you log into the app on your phone, it shows you, with green bars that increase or decrease, how far away you are from the Tile. You can also program it to make a sound when you get close to the Tile. And you can link up your phone with up to ten Tiles. And if your lost item — a dog, for example, or a stolen bike — goes out of your own phone’s 150-foot Bluetooth range, you can set it as a “lost item”. If any of the phones with the Tile app comes within the range of your lost item, a message will be sent to your own phone, reminding you of its position. The Tile app also has the function to remember where it last saw your Tile, so that you can easily find where you left it.

Since the Tiles use Bluetooth rather than GPS, they never run out of battery or need to be charged, and they last for one year before needing to be replaced. The app, which will come into the market this winter, works with iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, iPad Mini, iPad 3rd and 4th generation, and iPod 5th generation.

【1】The Tile app can help you .

A. find your missing items

B. use your phone more wisely

C. save your phone’s battery power

D. connect something to your phone

【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The Tile needs to be charged after a year of use.

B. One smart phone can only be linked up to one Tile.

C. The Tile cannot work when linked up to a phone without Bluetooth.

D. A missing item can’t be found if it goes out of the needed range.

【3】What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?

A. What the Tile app is.

B. How the Tile app works.

C. The advantages of the Tile app.

D. Why the Tile app was invented.

【4】Where does this passage probably come from?

A. A science fiction novel. B. An advertisement.

C. A personal diary. D. A news report.

【题目】Selfies (自拍) have become an increasingly common way to capture memorable moments. When it comes to taking selfies , knowing the following tips can directly affect the quality of your final product. .

The use of light is vital to improving image quality. Lights can help avoid shadows and create soft features on your face, so turn your face toward the main light. source. If you want to be creative, play with light angles by turning your body, but make sure the photo is properly exposed and your face is lit from the front or the side. Besides, avoid taking selfies against the main light source or with overhead lighting. Additionally, natural light possesses a warmth that makes you look like you're glowing.（发光）

When taking selfies, angles also matter a lot. Hold the camera away from your face, and try to take photos both horizontally（水平地） and vertically. If not, your face might look bigger than usual. Ideally, the universal selfie angle is 45 degrees above your head. But you should study your face at different angles because finding your best angle requires you having seen all of them.

One problem with selfies is that most have distracting backgrounds. You can always do more to show others your best side. Try to simplify the background by taking selfies outdoors or in spacious areas. Document yourself engaging in interesting activities-hiking with family members, visiting landmarks, or working out with friends. At least, you can make the photo appealing by getting rid of your utstretched arm or a background that's too busy.

You can also download some photo apps that allow you to adjust the lighting and contrast. Some apps offer useful filters（滤光器）, which can change your skin tone and eliminate pimples (粉刺) on your face.

【1】To get an image of high quality, you need to _______.

A. be under the light source

B. be against the main light

C. face the main light source

D. have the photo fully exposed

【2】How can you find the angle that suits you most?

A. Study your face at different angles.

B. Hold the camera far enough from you.

C. Keep the camera lower than your face.

D. Place the camera 45 degrees above your head.

【3】Which of the following should be avoided when taking selfies?

A. The use of natural light.

B. A landmark as a background.

C. Changes of the skin tone.

D. A busy background.
