14.Instagram is a fast,beautiful and fun way to share your life with friends and family.Take a picture or video,choose a filter to transform its look and feel,and then post to Instagram-it's that easy.You can even share to FaceBook,Twitter and more.It's a new way to see the world.So many photos of food are contained on Instagram-now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks.
I always thought people's taking pictures of their food was kind of silly,but at this new pop-up restaurant in the UK,I'd probably do it too."The Picture House"is the world's first pay-by-photo restaurant.You order,click a photo of the food,share on Instagram and eat for free!
The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant Birds Eye,who came up with the idea to cash in on people's addiction with photographing food and sharing the pictures online.They conducted a survey and found out that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals.So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range.
The pop-up diner was open in SOHO,London for three days in May,and is now moving to other major UK cities.They serve two-course meals that customers don't have to pay for,if they photo and Instagram it.
The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye's"Food for Life"campaign,a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food."Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments-from the everyday to the special,"said marketing director Margaret Jobling.
The reaction to the Picture House has been great so far.And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way.Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses.Last year in a cafe in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there,not by what they eat.

2.Michael Phelps has broken a 2,000-year-old Olympic record by winning more individual titles than Leonidas of Rhodes.Who was this athlete whose record (12 individual titles) has taken 2000 years to beat?
Phelps has a total of 22 Olympic gold medals,but in terms of individual titles he has only just passed the greatest athlete of the ancient world.Leonidas of Rhodes competed in four Olympiads in 164 BC,160 BC,156 BC and 152 BC and in each of these he won three different foot races.
The three events at which he won were the stadion,a sprint(短跑)of roughly 200m;the diaulos,which was twice the distance of the stadion; and the race in armour(盔甲).
Unlike most races,the race in armour required competitors to wear heavy armour,possibly including a helmet,a breastplate,shin armour and a shield made from bronze and wood.
"He broke through the distinction between sprinters and endurance(耐力)athletes,"says Paul Cartledge,professor of classics at the University of Cambridge.The race in armour had not previously been considered suitable for sprinters."They were running in armour,the temperature would be 40℃.You can imagine how it would be in that race.It required completely different muscles and gymnastic skills."
"There is very little biographical information about Leonidas,and no images of him survive,"says Cartledge.But his name-coming from the Greek word for lion-suggests he was a man of distinction.After his death,"he was respected as a local god in Rhodes,"says Swaddling,the director of a museum.He was also venerated in ancient Greek literature.Pausanias described him as"the most famous runner".In the 3rd Century,Philostratus the Athenian wrote in his Gymnastikos that Leonidas's achievement proved that not all received wisdom about athletic training and body types was true.
A statue of him in Rhodes displayed the legend:"He had the speed of a God."Quite a reputation for Phelps to live up to.

28.How many individual titles has Phelps won in the Olympics?B
A.22.
B.13.
C.12.
D.9.
29.What can be inferred from the text?A
 A.The conditions of race in armour were unpleasant.
 B.Leonidas was a swimmer with speed and endurance.
 C.Leonidas didn't have his picture drawn in his day.
 D.Phelps owed his success to the influence of Leonidas.
30.The underlined word"venerated"is closest in meaning toD.
A.accepted      
B.collected     
C.shaped      
D.honoured
31.What question does the author mainly discuss?C
A.Who was Philostratus the Athenian?
B.Who is Michael Phelps?

9.Royale is surrounded by deep blue waters of Lake Superior,the largest freshwater lake on Earth.The only way to get there is by boat or sea plane.The National Park Service operates shuttle boats that take visitors to Isle Royale.The boats leave from two Michigan ports.A boat trip to Isle Royale takes three to five hours.Waters are often extremely rough.
    Modern copper mining began in the late 1800s,resulting in large areas of the island being burned.This led to settlement development.Soon,Isle Royale became popular for summer homes.It became a national park on April 3,1940.In 1980,officials named it an International Biosphere Reserve(生物圈保护区)because of its unique ecosystem.
    Isle Royale offers hiking,camping,boating,and even scuba diving.The National Park Service protects 11sunken(沉没的)boats for divers to explore.They are reminders of Lake Superior's commercial shipping history.The sunken wooden ship called The America is one of the most popular dive sites.The America carried passengers,mail,and supplies to many towns along the shores of Lake Superior.It first launched in 1898,and was used until 1928,when it was damaged.It sank to the bottom of the lake soon after.
    Visitors to Isle Royale share the trails with a well-studied population of wolves.Scientists believe wolves walked there during a freeze of the lake sometime in the 1940s.Researchers closely record their population numbers.Much of the research takes place during the winter,when the trees are bare.The researchers fly over the island to observe the animals from above.
    Animal research is the only winter activity going on at Isle Royale.The national park is closed each year in late October because of the terrible weather conditions and reopens in spring time the next year.
    But for the other months of the year,Isle Royale offers green forests,and clear blue waters.Its excellent scenery and unusual location keep visitors returning year after year.

28.What is mainly talked about in the first paragraph?A
A.The access to the island.B.The island's location.
C.The island's natural environment.D.The island's basic information.
29.How long is the history of the National Park?B
A.More than two centuries.B.Over seventy years.
C.Less than forty years.D.Over one hundred years.
30.The sunken boats and ship are considered asD.
A.a site where people seek pleasure and wealth
B.a lesson that reminds people to remember the disasters
C.an underwater museum where people can see many relics
D.a history book that shows the commercial shipping in the area
31.The researchers fly over the island in winter becauseB.
A.there are more animals then
B.they can have a clear look at the animals there
C.they don't intend to disturb the animals
D.the island can't be reached with the lake frozen.
19.For humans,climbing Mount Qomolangma is seen as a great impressive achievement.People make movies,write books,and have essentially developed a whole industry surrounding the challenge that is this mountain.While we consider climbing the mountain as an athletic achievement,there is one animal,the bar-headed goose,does not think so.
    As the species migrates (迁徙)from Central Asia to Southeast Asia every autumn,it must cross over the Himalayan range.These mountains force the bar-headed goose to fly at around 30,000feet above sea level,which is the highest altitude for migratory birds.
    These geese have special adaptions that allow them to survive at the altitude.For example,a special protein (蛋白质)in blood cells that transports oxygen throughout the body allows their blood cells to combine with oxygen.Their circulatory system provides a constant supply of fresh,oxygenated blood to their wing muscles (肌肉).They have much larger lungs than other birds,which give them the ability to take in more air.
    Scientists initially believe that the geese flow at an extremely high altitude for the full length of their migration.But later the data suggests that the birds use a much more effective way of travel.Instead of remaining at an extremely high altitude to fly over the mountain range,the geese hug the mountains,flying up and down depending on the obstacles (障碍物)in their way.This works better for them because they don't have to use all their energy flying in an area with low oxygen; they can spend time flying at lower altitudes.
The geese also make use of nature to make this work easier.To fly down,they simply allow gravity to pull them.To fly back up,they make use of orographic (地形的)lift,which happens when flowing air meets an obstacle,such as a mountain.The mountain forces the air up,creating an upward draft.The birds take advantage of this draft,expending less of their own energy to fly up the mountain.
The way these birds have adapted to flying across the Asian continent during their annual migration is certainly an amazing way to see nature at work.

33.What does the underlined part"this work"in Paragraph 5 most probably refer to?C
A.To fly down.
B.To fly back up.
C.To fly over the mountain.
D.To fly at lower altitudes.
34.How do the geese behave while crossing over the Himalayan range?B
A.By flowing at an extremely high altitude all the way.
B.By taking advantage of the orographic lift.
C.By smoothing the obstacles in their way.
D.By forcing the air up,creating an upward draft.
35.What's the main idea of this passage?A
A.The geese's amazing migration.
B.The highest flying record of geese.
C.The flying mystery of geese.
D.Mount Qomolangma and its geese.

1.Noise is one of the problems that have come with industrial advancement and progress in urban environments.It has significantly increased with the invasion (侵入)of social media websites and modern technology in homes,streets,schools and the workplace.
While many people are unaware of the effects of noise pollution,experts say there are many psychological,health and mental effects of noise on human beings.Dr Maher Yaqoub,ear,nose and throat specialist,said,"When we go home to relax,we hear noise coming from modern devices such as smart phones and tablets that exist in nearly all houses.At the workplace,we hear noise produced by devices used at the workplace.On the way home,we are affected by the car horns and the like.All these sources of noise can have negative effects on human beings."
Recent studies on the issue have shown that many people suffer from increasing hearing loss due to exposure to constant noise.Infants and the elderly are more easily affected by noise-related damage than others."In fact,noise can destroy a child's hearing ability and have impact on his health as well,"Yaqoub said.
Dr Alaa AL-Tabee,psychological and neurological (神经学的)disease specialist,said noise has negative impact on the psychological and health conditions of humans.It influences their performance at work or school as well as the way they communicate with others.Being exposed long to noise affects nerves and makes one feel dissatisfied and frightened because it harms the brain and reduces its activity.The end result is always discomfort and confusion.
Noise can cause mental stress and leave the mind unable to understand and process information.A person's level of alertness and ability to calculate are influenced as well.Sensitive children feel frightened if exposed to too much noise and such a feeling may get worse in the future and lead to depression,exhaustion and anxiety.

32.From Dr Maher Yaqoub's words,we can learn thatD.
A.our home is not a place to relax any longer
B.the modern devices should be improved
C.human health is going from bad to worse
D.noise pollution exists everywhere
33.When it comes to noise pollution,C.
A.the majority can tell what bad effect it has
B.it has caused mental problems to most people
C.it is more necessary to protect the young and the old
D.it has made most people lose their hearing in a way
34.If a person is exposed to constant noises,B.
A.he will lose his ability to speak and hear
B.he perhaps will be in a poor mood
C.he is sure to have a poor relationship with others
D.he will become more sensitive and stressed
35.What does the author mainly discuss in the text?A
A.Noise pollution is destroying calmness of nature.
B.Human beings are being threatened by pollution.
C.Advanced technology is doing harm to humans
