14．NASA will be hosting a huge face-to-face Angry Birds exhibit at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral，Florida for the next year and a half in an effort to help get kids interested in physics and space!
The exhibit is called Angry Birds Space Dating．It has 1.2-metre-high （3.9-foot-high） slingshots（弹弓） that kids can use to fire mini Angry Birds at the green pigs，and there is also a laser-beam obstacle course!The exhibit lets kids make their own personalized Angry Birds games while they learn about gravity's effect on an object's track．
"Gravity will attract an object if it's moving in a straight line，and it will no longer move in a straight line because it gets bent and it goes in a curved track，"astronaut Donald Pettit explains in the video below．
"Astronauts have to worry about these thing  s because if you're in a rocket and you're trying to get from one orbit and arrive at a targeted space station，you end up going in curved tracks and you need to know how to fire your rocket engines so that you can go exactly from where you are to where you want to be．"
Pettit said that the exhibit is a great opportunity for kids who are fans of the game to learn some science，math，and physics while playing instead of just playing an"empty brain-draining video game that crowds out the creativity from the minds of young people．"
 
41．NASA holds the Angry Birds exhibit toA
A．interest kids in science
B．help kids get interests
C．get kids interested in a gamev

分析 本文讲述到NASA将举办一场别开生面的、以愤怒的小鸟为主题的展览，意在通过与游戏的结合来鼓励更多的孩子学习自然科学．

解答 41．A．细节理解题．根据文章第一段"a half in an effort to help get kids interested in physics and space!"可知，NASA举行这个活动是为了吸引孩子们，培养他们对物理和空间的兴趣．故选A．
42．B．细节理解题．根据第二段"fire mini Angry Birds at the green pigs"排除A．根据"The exhibit lets kids make their own personalized Angry Birds games"排除C．根据"while they learn about gravity's effect on an object's track"排除D．故选B．
43．A．词义猜测题．根据前文"it will no longer move in a straight line"它再不会沿直线行驶，可猜测，curved意为"弯曲的"，故选A．
44．C．细节理解题．根据while they learn about gravity's effect on an object's track排除A；根据Astronauts have to worry about these thing--Gravity will attract an object if it's moving in a straight line…排除B；根据while playing instead of just playing an"empty brain-draining video game that crowds out the creativity from the minds of young people排除D；关于C选项的描述在文中是这样的the exhibit is a great opportunity for kids who are fans of the game to learn some science，math..该展览对于想利用该游戏来学习自然科学、数学等的孩子而言是极大的机会，而并非像选项描述的只是该游戏的粉丝，因此C是错误的．

4．Teen drivers，be careful：Mum and Dad will soon know exactly how fast and how far you drove their car．And if you don't use the seat belt，don't even think about turning on the stereo，which allows you to listen to the music in your car．
At the 2015New Year International Auto Show，American car maker Chevrolet gives your parents the power to check on your driving．
The"Teen Driver"feature（特征）appears with the 2016Chevrolet Malibu，a new type of mid-size car．
The system is very user-friendly．Parents with a private code（密码）can pull up a dashboard（仪表板）display，including highest speeds reached and distance driven．
Chevrolet isn't the first car maker to offer such technology．For example，Ford has a similar system called MyKey．But"the industry is moving toward highly developed controls over a teen's driving，"said Andy Gryc，a car technology expert．
Chevrolet said it is a safety need．"Teens are more likely to be involved in a car accident，so many parents were asking us to bring something to market that can teach safe driving habits，"said Chevrolet communications manager Chad Lyons．
Teens are three times more likely to die in traffic accidents than grown-ups，according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety （IIHS）．
Lyons thinks that a big problem is distracted（注意力分散）driving，such as texting or listening to music．
Teens with their friends in the car like to listen to loud music．"If the driver and the front passenger aren't wearing their seat belts，the stereo won't turn on，"said Lyons．"Parents can also control the level of sound．"
If a teen driver goes beyond a certain speed，the car can speak to the driver，warning them of their speed．
"It's a way for parents to feel safe while they're not in the car with their teen，"Lyons said．

25．MyKey is similar to the"Teen Driver"feature because of  itsA．
A．purpose           B．shape        C．quality         D．type
26．How can the feature prevent distracted driving？C
A．By telling teens about their speed．
B．By stopping drivers from texting．
C．By avoiding loud music in the car．
D．By asking people to use seat belts．
27．What is the text mainly about？A
A．A new technology for road safety．
B．An international car show for teens．
C．An unusual kind of stereo safety system．
D．A new type of fast-speed car．
5．It's 10p．m．You may not know where your child is，but the chip does．
The chip will also know if your child has fallen and needs immediate help．Once doctors arrive，the chip will also be able to tell them which drugs are not suitable for little Jonny or Janie．At the hospital，the chip will tell doctors his or her complete medical history．And of course，when you arrive to pick up your child，setting the hospital bill with your health insurance policy will be a simple matter of waving your own chip  the one embedded（植入） in your hand．
To some，this may sound unbelievable．But the technology for such chips is no longer the stuff of science fiction．And it may soon offer many other benefits besides locating lost children or elderly patients．It could be used as credit cards and people won't have to carry wallets anymore．
On the other hand，some are already wondering what this sort of technology may do to the sense of personal privacy and liberty．
"Any technology of this kind could result in abuse of personal privacy，"says Lee Tien，senior staff lawyer for the Electronic Frontier Foundation．"If a kid can be tracked，do you want other people to be able to track your kid？It's a double-edged sword．"
Applied Digital Solutions，Inc．in Palm Beach，Florida，says it has recently applied to the Food and Drug Admission for permission to begin testing its device in humans．About the size of a grain of rice，the microchip can be coded with bits of information and embedded in humans under a layer of skin．When scanned by a nearby reader，the embedded chip gives the data．
Most embedded chip designs are so-called passive chips，which give information only when scanned by a nearby reader．But active chips such as the proposed Digital Angel of the future  will give out information all the time．And that means designers will have to develop some sort of power source that can provide a continuous source of energy，yet be small enough to be embedded with the chips．
In addition to technical problems，many suspect that all sorts of legal and privacy issues would have to be cleared as well．

68．By using the example in the first two paragraphs，the author wants to tell us thatC．
A．chips are usually used to locate lost children
B．chips are more convenient than credit cards
C．chips will soon be useful in many aspects of daily lives
D．chips will bring out the issue of abuse of personal privacy
69．What is the attitude of Lee Tien towards the chips？D
A．Negative      B．Positive      C．Indifferent  D．Concerned
70．Which of the following statements about Digital Angel is NOT true？B
A．It will include a chip and a power source．
B．It will be produced and replace passive chips．
C．It will be embedded in humans under a layer of skin．
D．It will give information without being scanned by a reader．
71．It is indicated in the passage that chip producers have to consider the following issues EXCEPTA．
A．financial problems             B．technical problems
C．legal problems                 D．privacy problem．
2．Two new electronic book products （the SoftBook and the PocketBook） have gathered extensive press coverage，including articles in ABC News，the New York Times，San Jose Mercury News，and WIRED．
An electronic book （e-book） is a book-length publication in digital form，consisting of text，images，or both，and produced on，published through，and readable on computers or other electronic devices．Different from a traditional printed book，e-books are born digital．
Being a firm believer in tablet computers for many tasks not involving heavy data entry，I applaud these new designs of the products．In particular，the SoftBook has nice leather binding （封皮），going far beyond the traditional （and boring） industrial design used for other portable computers．The PocketBook has a more traditional industrial design，typical of leading electronic gadgets （小配件）．
Unfortunately，neither company mentions their product's screen resolution （分辨率）．Low-resolution monitors （including all computer screens until now） have poor readability：people read about 25% slower from computer screens than from printed paper．Scientists believe that only the screen with 300dpi displays has the same reading speed as print．So unless they have much better screens，electronic books will have a problem．
A project called"the last book"is getting much attention，which aims at producing a computer in the form of a folio （对开本）：a set of pages using"digital ink"．Users would move forward in the information by turning pages just as they do in a printed book．Hopefully，the scientists will eventually invent a way to make the"digital ink"display characters at a high enough resolution to gain the same reading speed as print．
Even when e-books gain the same reading speed as print，they will still be a bad idea．Page turning remains a bad interface （界面），even when it can be done more conveniently than by clicking the mouse on a"next page"button．
Another problem is that most e-book publishers do not warn their customers about the real meaning of the digital rights management （DRM） tied to their products．Generally they claim that it is meant to prevent copying of the e-book．However，in many cases it is also possible that it will result in the complete denial of access by the purchaser to the e-book．The e-book is tied to a specific computer or device．In these cases，the DRM will usually let the purchaser move the book a limited number of times after which they cannot use it on any additional devices．If the purchaser upgrades or replaces their devices，they may lose access to their purchase．Some forms of the DRM depend on the existence of online services to authenticate （认证） the purchasers．When the company that provides the service goes out of business or decides to stop providing the service，the purchaser will no longer be able to access the e-book．

67．From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3，we know that the writerB．
A．has bought the two new products before
B．likes the special designs of the new products
C．thinks it more convenient to use traditional computers
D．doesn't like the traditional design of portable computers
68．We can learn from the passage thatD．
A．born digital，e-books can only be read on computers
B．"digital ink"has gained the same reading speed as print
C．now all the computers are using the screens with 300dpi displays
D．e-books may have slower reading speed compared with printed books
69．Due to the digital rights management，C．
A．the e-book should be tied to a specific device
B．people should upgrade their devices regularly
C．readers are likely to lose access to their purchase
D．only purchasers can download the book without limit
70．This passage mainly talks aboutA．
A．the disadvantages of electronic books   B．the future of electronic books
C．the designs of electronic books         D．two new electronic books．
9．Several years ago，while attending a communication course，I experienced a most unusual process．The instructor asked us to list （36）B  in our past that we felt（37）A   of，regretted，or incomplete about and read our lists aloud．
This seemed like a very （38）A process，but there's always some （39）D soul in the crowd who will volunteer．The instructor then（40）B that we find ways to （41）C  people，or take some action to right any wrong doings．I was seriously wondering how this could ever（42）A  my communication．

"And I want you to know that I did it？"Paused．"I knew it!"he yelled back．We had a good laugh and a   （51）D discussion．His closing words were："Jimmy，I always felt bad for you   （52）D  your buddies got it off their chest，but you were carrying it  （53）A  all these years．I want to thank you for calling me for your sake．"

19．NEW YORK （Reuters）-The average number of monthly visitors to U．S．newspaper websites rose by nearly a third in the first half of 2006，a study released on Wednesday said，though print readership at some larger papers fell．
The study，released by the Newspaper Association of America，underlines the internet's importance to papers beset （围困）by failing circulation and advertising income in their print editions．
The average number of unique visitors to online newspaper sites in the first half was more than 55.5 million a month，the study said．That compares with 42.2 million a year earlier．"Newspaper websites have become a significant addition to the print product，and are driving large audience growth，"said John Kimball9 the association's chief marketing officer．The number of page views at newspaper sites rose by about 52 percent in the first half，the association added．
US Newspaper publishers have been fighting to hold on to advertisers as many of them lose readers to other media，including the Internet．
Key to the latest report is the finding that websites are bringing in more younger readers，the association said．
The Washington Post，s website increased its audience reach among readers aged 25 to 34 by more than 60 percent，the report said．Audience reach^combines the average weekly print audience and the net 30-day website audience．
Overall，newspaper websites helped drive a 15 percent increase in the total newspaper audience for 25-to-34-year olds and a 10-percent increase for 18-to 24-year olds，the association said．
It did not provide comparisons to the same period last year for total print newspaper readership．Readership numbers，which were provided by Scarborough Research，include circulation，shared copies and any other way that someone could end up reading a newspaper．
Print readership fell，according to a comparison of figures from the two periods conducted by Renter，．‘
The New York Times readership dropped 5.8 percent，while the largest U．S．paper，USA Today，fell 3 percent．The Wall Street Journal saw readership remain nearly the same．
39．Which would be the best title for the passage？A
A．Online Newspaper Readership Grows
B．Convenient Way to Read Newspapers
C．rThe Internet Is Taking over in the World
D．Print Newspapers Have Lost Their Advantages
40．Why have US Newspaper publishers been fighting？C
A．Because they want to earn more money．
B．Because they feel they have been out of date．
C．Because many readers are lost to other media．
D，Because people don，t like print newspapers any more．
41． The reason why online newspaper readership increase is thatD•
A．print newspapers are expensive to buy
B．surfing the Internet is a sign of fashion
C．online newspapers cover much more information
D．more and more younger readers prefer to visit newspaper websites
42． From paragraph 6，we can learn that audience reach includes the usualD
A．TV viewers and radio listeners
B．TV viewers and print newspaper readers
C．radio listeners and online newspaper readers
D．online newspaper readers and print newspaper readers．
6．In today's American society，background checks have become a routine part of hiring process．employers use them to（50）Bpotential workers，judging whether they are qualified for the posts．Through background checks，employers can also make sure that the information applicants provide is truthful，which（51）Dthe applicants'moral quality．

4．"Fire!Fire!"what terrible words to hear when one wakes up in a strange house in the middle of the night!
It was a large old wooden house and my room was on the top floor．I jumped out of the bed，opened the door and （61）stepped  （step） outside of the house．There was thick smoke everywhere．
I began to run，but as I was only half-awake，instead of going towards the stairs，I went in the opposite direction．The smoke grew （62）thicker （thick） and I could see fire all around．The floor became hot under my bare （63）feet （foot）．
I found an open door and ran into a room to get to the window．But（64）before I could reach it，one of my feet caught something soft and I fell down．What I had fallen over felt like a bundle of clothes，and I picked it up（65）to protect（protect） my face from the smoke and heat．I crashed to the floor below with pieces of （66）burning（burn） wood all around me．
As I reached the cold air outside，the bundle of clothes gave out a thin cry．I nearly dropped it（67）in surprise．Then I was in a crowd gathering in the street．A woman （68）dressed  （dress） in a borrowed man's coat screamed as she saw me and ran towards me（69）madly （mad）．
It turned out（70）that she was the Mayor's wife，and I had saved her baby．
