阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D) 中,选出最佳选项。

                                  A 

           Well,I finally decided to enter the digital (数字的) age. My kids have been annoying me; my book group made fun of me; and the last straw was when my car broke down,and I was stuck on the highway for an hour before someone stopped to help. But when I went to the cell phone store,I almost changed my mind. The phones are so small that I can't see the numbers. They all have cameras,computers and a Global Positioning System that's supposed to spot me from space. All I want to do is to be able to talk to my grand- kids!And the rate plans (资费套餐) !They were complex,confusing,and expensive!I'd almost given up when a friend told me about her new Jitterbug phone.

           Sometimes I think the people who designed this phone and the rate plans had me in mind. The phone fits easily in my pocket,but when it opens it reaches from my mouth to my ear. The display is large,so I can actually see who is calling. With a push of a button I can control the vo/wwe (音量) ,and if I don't know a number,I can simply push one for a friendly,helpful operator that will look it up and even dial it for me. The Jitterbug also reduces background noise,making the sound loud and clear. Theres even a dial tone,so I know the phone is ready to use.

          Call now and get a FREE GIFT — $24 in value!Try the Jitterbug for 30 days and if you don't love it,just return it. The phone comes preprogrammed with your favorite numbers,and if you aren't as happy with it as I am,you can return it for a refund(退款) of the purchase price.

   B. He was famous for his meanness.

   C. He didnt keep up with the times.

   D. His grandkids lost touch with him.

22. The author finally got a Jitterbug phone .

   A. because of its free gift

   B. because of its convenience

   C. because his friend sent it as a gift

   D. because its numbers were his favorite

23. What's the main purpose of this text? .

   A. To advertise the Jitterbug phone.

   B. To introduce how to enter the digital age.

   C. To describe the authors personal experi?ence.

                                       B 

                           

             For more than a century it was thought that a beautifol face was appealing because it was a co ection of average features. Using his computer system,Dr David Perrett of the University of St Andrews has challenged the theory. In a key experiment,photographs of women were ranked tor their attractiveness by a number of volunteers Two composite pictures were then created;

one,tile average of all the pictures,the other made lrom those rated most attractive. Although the faces looked very similar at first sight,most people said they preferred the composite of most attractive faces.

            “The conclusion I reached," said Dr Perrett was that the most attractive face was not average. If you look at famous film stars and supermodels,most of them have Wefl/ (理想的) features 一 larger than normal eyes,higher arched eyebrows,slightly smaller noses,and higher cheekbones  Even popular cartoon characters such as Betty Boop,Yasmin from Aladdin and Bambi have big eyes,small tumed-up noses,big mouths and small chins. And if these features are exaggerated,the attractiveness rating goes up even more. Julia Roberts is a good example of this." 

            But what do scientists make of mens faces? Do men with large eyes,high cheekbones and a small chin have the same appeal? Researchers were a bit shocked at the top-ranking male face. They expected it to have the classic square jaw and strong cheekbones,but instead,women seem to prefer men with gentle faces.

            Dr Perrett puts forward a reason to explain why so many women now go for baby-faced stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Jude Law. Women like a man with (女性化的) face because he is more likely to make a kinder and more trustworthy husband and father.

           But do these ideals of beauty manage to cross cultural boundaries? Are the same features considered to be attractive all over the world? A worldwide study carried out by Professor Cunningham of the University of Louisville,Kentucky concluded that there were only very subtle differences between different cultures. In other words,although there might be a little truth in the old saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder,by and large,we all seem to be attracted to the same things.

6. Dr Perrett reached his conclusion mainly by.

   A. telling true stories

   A. making comparisons

   B. setting down general rules

   C. following the order of importance

                                        B

                         

            An 18-year-old who just finished high school has developed a revolutionary device(装置) which allows visually impaired or blind people to be more mobile — after coming up with the idea when he was 12.

           “To be considered is a real honor. It means the work we’re doing is really valuable,”Alex Deans said.

            The teen,from Ontario in Canada,began creating the tool after becoming curious while helping a visually impaired lady cross the street one day.

           “She told me that all existing devices only let users see in one direction so they can't know whats going on around them,w he toki GOOD magazine,after seeing she only had a stick and guide dog — two things that are hard to come by.

            The device,known as iAid,uses GPS (Global Positioning System) and ultrasonic(超声波的) technology to help visually impaired people get around safely.

            The belt-like tool comes with a control handle and works by using sound waves to discover objects in the users’ path and show how close things are to them. The iAid works much like a bat uses sonar(声呐) .

             The teen's invention has been attracting attention and it won the 2015 Weston Youth Innovation Award in May for which Alex was awarded $2,000 at a ceremony at the Ontario Science Centre last month.

            “The entire group of judges was impressed by Alexs creativity,motivation and dedication (奉献) to building his design over a four-year period. We look forward to seeing future inventions from this outstanding young inventor,said Hooley McLaughlin,chief science officer at the Ontario Science Centre.

             Alex is now working closely with the team at the science centre to hold an exhibition for his invention. He was also given the opportunity to give a presentation at We Day 一 stadium-sized events where speakers lecture about global issues across the US,Canada,and the UK.

             Alex will be starting at Montreal's McGill University in the autumn,but hopes the iAid will be approved for US and Canadian rights so that,one day,the device will be available for those who really need it across the world.

6. What purpose does Alex’s  invention serve?

   A. To encourage the blind to live independently.

   B. To provide blind people with mobile phones.

   C. To make blind people's  life more colorful.

   D. To help the blind move around easily.

7.How did Alex come up with his idea?

   A. He got the idea from a magazine.

   B. He was inspired by a blind woman.

   C. He found it hard to use a guide dog.

   D. He noticed existing tools weaknesses.

8.The bat probably uses sonar to .

   A. keep its balance in flight

   B. block harmful sound waves

   C. communicate with other bats

   D. find out the position of objects

9.Which of the following is expressed in McLaughlin's words?

   A. Doubt. B. Surprise. C. Praise. D. Puzzle.

10.What is Alex preparing for at oresent?

   A. A show of his iAid.

   B. His college studies.

   C. An awards ceremony.

   D. The speech at We Day.
