17.James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves.His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9.There,a school teacher asked the youth his name."J.C.,"he replied.
She thought he had said"Jesse",and he had a new name.
Owens ran his first race at age 13-After high school,he went to Ohio State University.He had to work part time so as to pay for his education.As a second year student,in the Big Ten games in 1935,he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.
A week before the Big Ten meet,Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs.His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week,and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet.He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try,event by event.He did try,and the results are in the record book.
The stage was set for Owens'victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year,and his success wou.ld come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political.Hitler did not congratulate any of the African American winners."It was all right with me,"he said years later."I didn't go to Berlin to shake hands with him,anyway."
Having returned from Berlin,he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country,either.In fact,he was not honored by the United States until 1976,four years before his death.
Owens'Olympic victories made little difference to him.He earned his living by looking after a school playground,and accepted money to race against cars,trucks,motorcycles and dogs.
"Sure,it bothered me,"he said later."But at least it was an honest living.I had to eat."
In time,however,his gold medals changed his life."They have kept me alive over the years,"he once said."Time has stood still for me.That golden moment dies hard."

A.he went to Ohio State University        
B.his teacher made fun of him
C.his teacher took"J.C."for"Jesse"

B.he was the son of a poor farmer
C.he didn't shake hands with Hitler      
D.he didn't talk to the US president on the phone

A.have been changed for money to help him live on
B.have made him famous in the US
C.have encouraged him to overcome difficulties in life

17.An increase in students applying to study economics at university is being attributed to (归因于)the global economic crisis (危机) awakening a public thirst for knowledge about how the financial system works.
Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 15% this January,according to UCAS,the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service.A spokesman for the Royal Economic Society said applications to do economics at A-level were also up.
Professor John Beath,the president of the society and a leading lecturer at St Andrews University,said his first-year lectures-which are open to students from all departments-were drawing crowds of 400,rather than the usual 250.
"There are a large number of students who are not economics majors,who would like to learn something about it.One of the things I have done this year is to relate my teaching to contemporary events in a way that one hasn't traditionally done."He said.
University applications rose 7% last year,but there were rises above average in several subjects.Nursing saw a 15% jump,with people's renewed interest in careers in the public sector(部门),which are seen as more secure in economic crisis.
A recent study showed almost two thirds of parents believed schools should do more to teach pupils about financial matters,and almost half said their children had asked them what was going on,although a minority of parents felt they did not understand it themselves well enough to explain.
Zack Hocking,the head of Child Trust Funds,said:"It's possible that one good thing to arise from the downturn will be a generation that's financially wiser and better equipped to manage their money through times of economic uncertainty."

5.We sometimes think global warming or climate change is a problem very far away from our lives,and that only the government needs to worry about it.But it's hardly possible to completely stay out of it-scientists are now 95percent sure that humans have been the"dominant cause"of global warming trends since the 1950s.
One of the conclusions of a report released on Sept 27by the United Nations says that human activities have caused global temperatures to rise by 0.89 0C between 1901and 2012.That might not seem like a lot,but the truth is that a major part of that heat has been absorbed into the oceans,which is not surprising given that they cover two thirds of Earth's surface.Also,water has a much greater capacity (容量) to absorb heat than the air does,according to The Economist.
While many greenhouse gases occur naturally and are needed to keep the Earth warm enough to support life,humans'use of fossil fuels is the main source of excess (多余的) greenhouse gases.According to CNN,by driving cars,using electricity produced by burning coal and oil or heating our homes with coal or natural gas,we release a large amount of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
Your body can barely feel a difference of 0.89 0C,but the Earth's ecosystems are so sensitive that even small changes can disturb them.It often starts with the smallest creatures at the bottom of the food chain,eventually affecting bigger animals,many of which could end up becoming extinct.
Global warming is also linked to an increase in extreme weather.A larger amount of carbon dioxide traps more energy inside the atmosphere.This changes the patterns of storms and rainfall in many regions and can lead to droughts and floods.Worse still,melting sea ice in warmer oceans is causing sea levels to rise at a speed of more than three millimeters per year,according to The Guardian,which also increases the risk of flooding.
"The report should serve as another wake-up call that our activities today have a profound impact on society,not only for us,but for many generations to come,"French Michel Jarraud,secretary-general of the World Meteorological Organization,said at a news conference.

69.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?C
A.Greenhouse gases have been proven to harm merely the Earth.
B.There is little we can do to prevent global warming.
C.Global warming can increase the chances of droughts and floods.
D.The hugeness of oceans makes them better absorbers of heat than the air.
70.The rise in global temperatures between 1901 and 2012D.
A.is more harmful to smaller creatures than bigger ones
B.is not serious because most of the extra heat has been absorbed by the oceans
C.has made the Earth's ecosystems more sensitive to changes
D.is likely to cause many species to become extinct

2.I had the meanest mother in the whole world.While other kids ate candy for breakfast,I had to have cereal,eggs or toast.When others had cokes and candy for lunch,I had to eat a sandwich.As you can guess,my supper was different from the other kids'also.But at least,I wasn't alone in my sufferings.My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.
    My mother insisted upon knowing where we were at all times.You'd think we were on a chain gang.She had to know who our friends were and where we were going.She insisted if we said we'd be gone an hour,that we be gone one hour or less-not one hour and one minute.
    We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath everyday.The other kids always wore their clothes for days.We reached the height of insults because she made our clothes herself,just to save money.
    The worst is yet to come.We had to be in bed by nine each night and up at eight the next morning.We couldn't sleep till noon like our friends.So while they slept---my mother actually had the nerve to break the Child Labor Law.She made us work.We had to wash dishe s,make beds,learn to cook and all sorts of cruel things.I believe she laid awake at night thinking up mean things to do to us.
    Through the years,things didn't improve a bit.We could not lie in bed,"sick"like our friends did,and miss school.Our marks in school had to be up to par.Our friends'report cards had beautiful colors on them,black for passing,red for failing.My mother,being as different as she was,would settle for nothing less than ugly black marks.
    As the years rolled by,first one and then the other of us was put to shame.We were graduated from high school.With our mother behind us,talking,hitting and demanding respect,none of us was allowed the pleasure of being a drop-out.
    My mother was a complete failure as a mother.Out of four children,a couple of us attained some higher education.None of us have ever been arrested or divorced.Each of my brothers served his time in the service of this country.She forced us to grow up into God-fearing,educated,honest adults.Using this as a background,I am now trying to raise my three children.I am filled with pride when my children call me mean.Why?Because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the whole world.
21.What can we infer from the passage?D
A.The author is not happy to have such a mean mother.
B.The author's mother broke the Child Labor Law to make money.
C.The author's mother failed to educate her children to be honest adults

3.Kelly Reeves was getting ready for a trip when her phone slipped into a sink full of water.Panic moment!She quickly picked up the wet phone and tried to turn it on,but nothing worked.Her first reaction?She got dressed,drove to the nearest store,and bought a new model at full price.A new study finds that fear of losing your phone is a common illness.About 66percent of those surveyed suffer from (nomophobia) or"no mobile phone phobia".Interestingly,more women worry about losing their phone than men.Fortunately,there's a solution.The first step is to figure out if you have nomophobia.Checking your phone too often is one thing,but the true sign of a problem is that you can't conduct business or go about your routine when the fear becomes so severe.Do you go to unusual lengths to make sure you have your phone?That's another sign of a problem.If you find you check your phone plenty of times per hour,or a total of an hour per day,there may be a problem.Some of the treatments are similar to those for treating anxiety attacks:leaving the phone behind and not checking e-mail or text messages,and then learning to tolerate the after anxiety.Even if this leads to a high level of worry and stress,the solution is to push through the fear and learn to deal with not having your phone.Of course,there are also technological alternatives.Luis Levy,a co-founder at Novy PR,says he uses an application called Cerberus that can automatically track the location of his phone.To find it,he can just go to a Web site and see the phone's location.He also insures his phone through a service called Asurion.The company's description of its product reads like a prescription for anxiety:"60million phones are lost,stolen or damaged each year.You'll have complete peace of mind knowing that your phone is protected and you can quickly reconnect with family,friends and work,as soon as the very next day!"

26.Why does the author mention Kelly's experience in the first paragraph?A
A.To introduce the topic for discussion.
B.To inform us that mobile phones are useful.
C.To warn us that we should be careful.
D.To tell us to get phones ready for a trip.
27.The underlined word"nomophobia"in Paragraph 2meansB.
A.Habits of using mobile phones.
B.Fear of losing mobile phones.
C.Eagerness for new mobile phones.
D.Independence of mobile phones.
28.Which way is suggested by the writer to treat nomophobia?A
A.Avoiding using a phone for some time.
B.Learning more about modern technology.
C.Protecting one's phone against any damage.
D.Not using a mobile phone in one's daily work.
29.Why can the service called Asurion help to treat nomophobia?C
A.It lets you know other people also lose their phones.
B.It will give you a new phone through insurance.
C.It enables you to reconnect with your acquaintance.
D.It gives you a prescription to treat nomophobia.
30.What is the passage mainly about?D
A.Attitude toward mobile phone.   B.New mobile phone technology.
C.Disadvantages of mobile phone.  D.Solutions to nomophobia.
