14．People are being lured （引诱）onto Facebook with the promise of a fun，free service without realizing they're paying for it by giving up large amounts of personal information．Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages．
Most Facebook users don't realize this is happening．Even if they know what the company is up to，they still have no idea what they're paying for Facebook because people don't really know what their personal data is worth．
The biggest problem，however，is that the company keeps changing the rules．Early on，you keep everything private．That was the great thing about facebook-you could create your own little private network．Last year，the company changed its privacy rules so that many things-your city，your photo，your friends'names-were set，by default （默认）to be shared with everyone on the Internet．
According to Facebook's vice-president Elliot Schrage，the company is simply making changes to improve its service，and if people don't share information，they have a"less satisfying experience"．
Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money．Its original business model，which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page，totally failed．Who wants to look at ads when they're online connecting with their friends？
The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington．In April．Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy．He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites．"I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them，"Schrage admits．
I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy，it's only the beginning，which is why I'm considering deactivating（撤销）my account．Facebook is a handy site，but I'm upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don't know．That's too high a price to pay．

66．What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph？C
A．It is a website that sends messages to targeted users．
B．It makes money by putting on advertisements．
C．It profits by selling its users'personal data．
D．It provides loads of information to its users．
67．What does the author say about most Facebook users？B
A．They are reluctant to give up their personal information．
B．They don't know their personal data enriches Facebook．
C．They don't identify themselves when using the website．
D．They care very little about their personal information．
68．Why does Senator Charles Schumer propose？C
A．Setting guidelines for advertising on websites．
B．Banning the sharing of users'personal information．
C．Working out regulations for social-networking sites．
D．Removing ads from all social-networking sites．
69．Why does the author plan to cancel his Facebook account？C
A．He is dissatisfied with its current service．
B．He finds many of its users untrustworthy．
C．He doesn't want his personal data to be used in a wrong way．
D．He is upset by its frequent rule changes．

1．If you're like most students，you probably read both at home and outside your home：perhaps somewhere on your schoolyard and maybe even at work during your breaks．Your reading environment can have a great effect on your understanding，so give some thought to how you can create or choose the right reading environments．The right environment allows you to stay alert（专注的）and to keep all of your attention on the text，especially when it is both interesting and difficult．
When you're at home，you can usually create effective conditions for reading．You might want to choose a particular place-a desk or table，for example-where you always read．Make sure the place you choose is well lighted，and sit in a chair that requires you to sit straight．Reading in a chair that's too soft and comfortable is likely to make you sleepy!Keep your active reading tools（pens，markers，notebooks or paper）and a dictionary close at hand．
Before you sit down for a reading period，try to reduce all possible interruptions．Turn off your phone，the television，and the radio．Tell your family members or roommates that you'll be busy for a while．If necessary，put a"Do not disturb"sign on your door!The more interruptions you must deal with while you read，the harder it will be to keep your attention on the task at hand．

33．The author believes that the right reading environmentB．
A．helps readers a little in their reading tasks
B．helps readers a lot in their reading tasks
C．can only be created at one's home
D．can only be created outside one's home
34．Which type of the following interruptions is mentioned in the text？D
A．Dictionaries．
B．Paper．
C．Notebooks    
D．Phone calls．
35．What would be the best title for the text？C
A．What to Read
B．The Ways to Reduce Possible Interruptions
C．Creating an Effective Reading Environment
D．How to read fast．
5．How do people traditionally manufacture （制造） things？They usually start with a sheet of metal，wood or other material and cut，drill （钻） and shave it to create a desired shape．Sometimes，they use a mold （模具） made of metal or sand，pour liquid plastic or metal into it and let it cool to create a solid part．
   Now，a completely different method is gaining popularity．
   On Oct.9，2013，London Science Museum kicked off its new exhibition，3-D：Printing the Future，with over 600 3-D printed objects on display，including space probes （探测器），toy dolls and even human organs-basically any product you can think of，reported Live Science．
   You might find it hard to believe that an object can actually be"printed out"like a picture．But it is not that hard to understand how it works．Just as a traditional printer sprays （喷洒） ink onto paper line by line，modern 3-D printers spread material onto a surface layer by layer，from the bottom to the top，gradually building up a shape．
   Instead of ink，the materials the 3-D printer uses are mainly plastic，resin （树脂） and certain metals．The thinner each layer is-from a millimeter to less than the width of a hair-the smoother and finer the object will be．And objects always come out in one piece，sparing you the trouble of putting different parts together afterward．
   For example，10 years ago a desktop 3-D printer might have cost￡20，000 （200，000 yuan），while now it costs only about￡1，000，according to the BBC．In fact，3-D printers have been around for some time，but until recently they hadn't been very popular since few people could afford them．Last year，though，saw a big decrease in the price of 3-D printers．
   However，as 3-D printing technology becomes more commonplace，it may trigger certain problems．One of them is piracy （盗版）．"Once you can download a coffee maker，or print out a new set of kitchen utensils （餐具） on your personal 3-D printer，who will visit a retail （零售的） store again？"an expert on 3-D printing told Forbes News．
   Even more frightening，the world's first 3-D printed gun was successfully fired in the US in May of this year，which means that 3-D printing could potentially give more people access to weapons．
64．According to the article，in the future，3-D printing technology will probablyA．
A．change the way people make products
B．be applied as widely in our daily lives as computers
C．forbid many countries to make purchases of weapons
D．take the place of normal printers and save lots of energy
65．What was the big event that happened in the 3-D printing industry last year？D
A．Over 600 3-D printed objects were on display in an exhibition．
B.3-D printing technology came to be used in various fields．
C．Th e world's first 3-D printed gun was successfully made．
D．The 3-D printer became more affordable for consumers．
66．What is the author's attitude toward 3-D printing technology？B
A．Amused．B．Objective．C．Supportive．D．Negative．
2．Wrong Reasons for Going to College
A college education can be priceless．（16）GIf any of these following factors had a big influence on your decision，you're probably right to second-guess yourself．
◆Because someone else expects it from you．
Perhaps you come from a family where everyone goes to college．Or maybe，you're the kid that everyone is proud to believe will be the first to get there．（17）E．It's become so much a part of the air you breathe that you've never stopped to consider whether you want to go or whether you're ready to go．
◆Because all your friends are going．
In only a few weeks'time，the whole friend group will be scattered to a half dozen different colleges in a half dozen different places．（18）BFriends would wonder what's wrong with you．Some would take it as a betrayal of the dreams you've dreamed together and the plans you've made．
◆（19）C
It's been tough to find even a summer job．You don't have an alternative plan．Everyone else is doing it （see above）．You think you might as well go to school．That is the lamest of reasons to spend $20，000or more in the next year．
◆Because you are afraid you'll regret it if you don't go．
Your uncle tells you that his one regret in life is that he didn't go to college．Others tell you that they could have gone so much farther in their career if only they had a college education．（20）F So this is not a persuasive reason for you to go to college．

A That's much too fine．
B Not to go would be set yourself apart．
C Because you don't know what else to do．
D Everyone seems more excited than you are．
E It seems that for years everyone has just assumed that of course you'll go．
F Whatever the story is，there are always people who regret decisions they've made．
G But maybe in your heart you know that you are going for the wrong reasons．
9．Welcome to your future life!
You get up in the morning and look into the mirror．Your face is firm and young-looking．In 2035，medical technology is better than ever．Many people your age could live to be 150，so at 40，you're not old at all．And your parents just had an anti-aging （抗衰老的） treatment．Now，all three of you look the same age!
You say to your shirt，"Turn red．"It changes from blue to red．In 2035，"smart clothes"contain particles （粒子） much smaller than the cells in your body．The particles can be programmed to change clothes'color or pattern．
You walk into the kitchen．You pick up the milk，but a voice says，"You shouldn't drink that!"Your fridge has read the chip （芯片） that contains information about the milk，and it knows the milk is old．In 2035，every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip．
It's time to go to work．In 2035，cars drive themselves．Just tell your"smart car"where to go．On the way，you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve．Such"smart technology"is all around you．
So will all these things come true？"For new technology to succeed，"says scientist Andrew Zolli，"it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already．"The Internet is one example---what will be the next？
21．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4？C
A．Milk will be harmful to health．
B．More drinks will be available for sale．
C．Food in the grocery store will carry electronic information．
D．Milk in the grocery store will stay fresh much longer．
22．Which of the following is mentioned in the text？D
A．Nothing can replace the Internet．
B．Fridges will know what people need．

D．Cars will be able to drive automatically．
23．What is the text mainly about？B
A．Food and clothing in 2035．
B．Future technology in everyday life．
C．Medical treatments of the future．
D．The reason for the success of new technology．
19．Kids don't have to pay bills，cook dinners，or manage car polls （合伙使用汽车）．But-just like adults-they have their share of daily demands and things that don't go smoothly．If frustrations and disappointments pile up，kids can get worried．
It's natural for all kids to worry at times，and because of personality differences，some may worry more than others．Luckily，parents can help kids manage worry and deal with everyday problems with ease．Kids who can do that develop a sense of confidence and optimism that will help them master life's challenges，big and small．
What kids worry about is often related to the age and stage they're at．Kids and preteens typically worry about things like grades，tests，their changing bodies，fitting in with friends，a goal they missed at the soccer game，or whether they'll  make the team．They may worry about social troubles like cliques （派系，小圈子），peer （同龄人） pressure，or whether they'll be bullied （欺负），laughed at，or left out．Because they're beginning to feel more a part of the larger world around them，preteens also may worry about world events or issues they hear about on the news or at school．Things like terrorism，war，pollution，global warming，endangered animals，and natural disasters can all become a source of worry．

52．From the passage，we learn thatB．
A．not kids but adults may get worried about something
B．the worries that kids experience vary from one to another

6．Every week in China，millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers compete for the title Character Hero，which is a Chinese-style spelling bee（拼写大赛）．In this challenge，young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand．To prepare for the competition，the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries．
Perhaps the show's popularity should not be a surprise．Along with gunpowder and paper，many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy（书法）to be one of their primary contributions to civilization．Unfortunately，all over the country，Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help．Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet．The correct character is chosen from a list．The result？It's possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them．
But there's still hope for the paint brush．China's Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write．
In one Beijing primary school we visited，students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls．Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink．They look up at the blackboard often to study their teacher's examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper．"If adults can survive without using handwriting，why bother to teach it now？"we ask the calligraphy teacher，Shen Bin．"The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture，"she reasons．"Students must learn now so they don't forget when they grow up．"says the teacher．

28．What can we learn about the Character Hero？B
A．It's open to people of all ages and all walks．
B．It draws great public attention across the country．
C．It aims to spread Chinese culture to the world．
D．It's the most-viewed TV programs in China．
29．Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the characters？C
A．Chinese people don't refer to dictionaries very often．
B．Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practice calligraphy．
C．Chinese people needn't write by hand as often with the help of technology．
D．Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters．
30．According to Shen Bin，being able to write characters by hand isC．
A．necessary for adults to survive in China
B．a requirement made by the Education Ministry
C．helpful to keep Chinese tradition and culture alive
D．an ability to be developed only when you are students
31．Where does this text probably come from？D
A．A science report．B．Children's literature．C．An advertisement．D．A news report．
3．Dear Alcohol，
You've been around forever．I can remember all the pain you've caused for me．
Do you remember the night you almost took my father's life？I do．He loves you．Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me．He's addicted to you，to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them．You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street，crashing into two other cars．He wasn't the only one hurt by you that night．
Do you remember the night of my first high school party？You were there．My friends were intrigued by
you．They treated you as if they were never going to see you again，drinking all of you that they could．I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely．"I'm so embarrassed，"they said as I held their hair back so that they could vomit （呕吐）．"I'm sorry，"they said when I called taxis for them，walking them out and paying the driver in advance．"is won't happen again，"they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped．Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you．
Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons？Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car？He died the next morning too．His sister walked home from her dance lesson，and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two bloc away from the dance studio．She didn't realize her brother was in the midst of it all．She never saw him again．And it's all your fault．
I wih you'd walk out of my life forever．I don't want anything to do with you．Look at all the pain you've caused．Sure，you've made people happy too from time to time．But the damage you've caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable．Stop luring （引诱） in the people I love．Stop hurting me，please．
Sincerely，

4．True happiness lies in rewarding relationships，not material wealth，according to new research．Scientists have said that a close circle of friends and family is most important for happiness，and that owning things such as iPhones，computers，being wealthy and owning a sports ear do not provide the same level of satisfaction．
The study was done by psychologists at the Sahlgrenska Academy and Lund University，in Sweden．The experts analyzed articles in Swedish newspapers published in 2016and recorded which words most often occurred in the same articles as the Swedish word for happiness．In this way，they could know our common happiness．
Co-author Dr Danilo Garcia，a researcher at the Sahlgrenska Academy's Center for Ethics，Law and Mental Health，said，"It's relationships that are most important，not material things that we possess，and this is in line with other findings in happiness research．"
The study，which contained more than l.5 million words，showed that terms such as"grandmother"and personal pronouns such as"you"，"me"，"us"and"them"often emerge in the same article as the Swedish word for happiness．Researchers found that words such as"iPhone"，"millions"and"Google"almost never appear with the word"happiness"．
