CK went on to explain to us that smartphones rob us of our ability to be （46）D．Kids use smartphones to （47）B their time：Must text!Must play game!Must look up more tiny American Girl socks online for Molly!!!After all，one of the joys of being human is allowing our minds to（48）B．With cell phones，kids are always preoccupied．They never daydream，（49）D in class．And here's something else we're （50）Cout on thanks to Steve Jobs's little device：our right to be  （51）C．This was a right I hadn't realized I desired until CK pointed out that it's yet another of the essential human emotions．
"Everybody's murdering each other with their cars"as they text，CK screamed，because they fear being alone．Too bad-they're missing out on a life affirming experience．
"I was in my car one time，and Bruce Springsteen's‘Jungleland'came on，"he said．"And he sounds so far away．It made me really sad．And I think，OK，I've got to get the phone and write hi to 50people．I was （52）D for the phone，and I thought，Don't!Just be sad．"So CK （53）Cover and allowed himself to sob like a little girl （54）C that brand-new four-poster bed for her American Girl doll．"It was beautiful．You're lucky to （55）Dsad moments，"he said．And because he didn't fight and push it away with that little phone，because he allowed himself to be miserable，his body released endorphins（内啡肽）．"And that's why I don't want to get phones for my kids．"CK said．And I suppose I don't either．

17．Beijing had its biggest snowfall since 1951．Britain is suffering through its longest cold snap （寒潮） since 1981．And freezing weather is hitting the Deep South，including Florida's orange groves and beaches．
    Whatever happened to global warming？
    Such weather doesn't seem to fit with warnings from scientists that the Earth is warming because of greenhouse gases．But experts say the cold snap doesn't contradict global warming at all-it's just a temporary phenomenon in the long-term heating trend．"It's part of natural variability，"said Gerald Meehl，a senior scientist．With global warming，he said，"we'll still have record cold temperatures．We'll just have fewer of them．"
    Scientists say man-made climate change does have the potential to cause more frequent and more severe weather extremes．But experts did not connect the current cold snap to climate change．
    So what is going on？
"We basically have seen just a big outbreak of Arctic air over populated areas of the Northern Hemisphere"，Arndt said．
In the atmosphere，large rivers of air travel roughly west to east around the globe between the Arctic and the tropics．This air flow acts like a fence to keep Arctic air restricted．But recently，this air flow has become bent into a zigzag （之字形） pattern，wandering north and south．If you live in a place where it brings air up from the south，you get warm weather．In fact，record highs were reported this week in Washington state and Alaska．
But in the eastern United States，like some other unlucky parts of the globe，Arctic air is coming from the north．And that's how you get a temperature of 3 degrees in Beijing，a reading of minus-42 in mainland Norway，and 18 inches of snow in parts of Britain．The zigzag pattern arises naturally from time to time，but it is not clear why it's so strong right now．
71．What is the best title of the text？D
A．Freezing weather is hitting the Deep South．
B．We'll still have record cold temperatures．
C．The air flow has become a zigzag pattern．
D．Cold snap doesn't contradict global warming．

A．suggests that the climate has changed greatly

C．shows that the climate will turn cold
D．is affected by global warming
74．Beijing had its biggest snowfall since 1951 because ofC．
A．a fence from the Arctic                  
B．a cooling trend in climate

D．its large population
75．We can conclude thatA．
A．not all the parts of the Northern Hemisphere are cold in face of the cold snap
B．the zigzag pattern arises naturally accidentally
C．Beijing will get cold weather next year
D．Washington state and Alaska will not face cold weather next year．

1．It seems to be no possibility that Li Hua can win the first prize in the 100meter race．It改为There．
11．It's natural to feel some stress about taking tests．In fact，sometimes a little stress is a good thing．Here are some tips：
（36）C
Your memory will be much better if you've had enough rest．In a scientific study，people who got enough sleep before taking a math test did better than those who stayed up all night studying．
Read the test through first．
Once you have the test paper in front of you，read over the entire test，checking out how long it is and all the parts you are expected to complete．This will allow you to estimate how much time you have for each section and ask the teacher any questions．（37）E
Focus on addressing each question individually．
As you take the test，if you don't know an answer，don't obsess（缠住） over it．（38）A Come back to it after you've answered other questions．
Relax．
（39）F Of course you can't get up and move around in the middle of a test，but you can wiggle（摇摆）your fingers and toes，take four or five deep breaths，or picture yourself on a beach or some other calm places．
Finished already？
Although most teachers will let you hand a test in early，it's usually a good idea to spend any extra time checking over your work．（40）G_On the other hand，if you have 5minutes until the bell rings and you're still writing，wind up whatever you're working on without panicking．

A．Instead，skip over the question．
B．Listen closely to any instructions．
C．Get enough sleep the night before the test．
D．But some can get serious test-taking terror．
E．If something seems unclear before you start，don't panic：ask．
F．If you're so nervous that you blank out，you might need a mini-break．
G．You can also add details that you may not have thought you'd have time for．

11．Eco City Farms（生态城市农场） are becoming more popular in cities and towns around the Unites States．
Eco City Farms in Edmonton，Maryland，is located near shopping centers，car repair shops and homes．The neighborhood is a working-class community（社区）．People do not have very much money．And they have limited access to fresh food in markets．
Over the past two years，the farm has attracted volunteers from the community like Marcy Clark．She schools her four children at home．On a recent day she brought them to Eco City Farms for a lesson．Her son Alston Clark thinks his experience is very valuable．"I like coming out here，"he says，"You know，you connect with the earth，where your food comes from．You appreciate the food a little bit more．"
Margaret Morgan started Eco City Farms．She thinks of it as a place where people can learn to live healthier lives．"Growing food in a community brings people together，"she continues，"Every piece of what we do here is a demonstration（示范） to show people everything about how to have an eco-friendly community．"she says．From the Eco City Farms people come to know that they are not only growing food and raising chickens and bees，but improving the soil with compost（肥料）made from food waste．
Eco City Farms is an experimental operation．The farm gets its power not from the local electricity networks，but from the sun with solar panels．In winter，the green house uses a geothermal（地热）system．
Vegetables can be grown all year．So once a week，all winter long，neighbors like Chris Moss and her three children bike to the farm to pick up a share of the harvest．
"I like eating the vegetables"，says five-year-old Owen Moss．
