7.One day when I was 12,my mother gave me an order:I was to walk to the public library,and borrow at least one book for the summer.This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem-inability to read.
In the library,I found my way into the"Children's Room."I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random.The cover of a book caught my eye.It presented a picture of a beagle.I had recently had a beagle,the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child.He was my secret sharer,but one morning,he was gone,given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him.I never forgot my beagle.
There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked like my dog.I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover.My eyes ran across the title,Amos,the Beagle with a Plan.Unknowingly,I had read the title.Without opening the book,I borrowed it from the library for the summer.
Under the shade of a bush,I started to read about Amos.I read very,very slowly with difficulty.Though pages were turned slowly,I got the main idea of the story about a dog who,like mine,had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home.That dog was my dog,and I was the little boy in the book.At the end of the story,my mind continued the final scene of reunion,on and on,until my own lost dog and I were,in my mind,running together.
My mother's call returned me to the real world.I suddenly realized something:I had read a book,and I had loved reading that book.Everyone knew I could not read.But I had read it.Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.
I never told my mother about my amazing experience that summer,but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year.And years later,she was proud that her son had read thousands of books,was awarded a PhD in literature,and authored his own books,articles,poetry and fiction.The power of the words has held.
24.The author's mother told him to borrow a book in order toC.
A.encourage him to do more walking    
B.let him spend a meaningful summer
C.help cure him of his reading problem    
D.make him learn more about weapons

B.it reminded him of his own dog
C.he found its title easy to understand      
D.he liked children's stories very much

A.The author has become a successful writer.
B.The author's mother read the same book.
C.The author's mother rewarded him with books.

C.Reunion with My Beagle

分析 本文属于记叙文,介绍了自己是一个不愿意读书的孩子,被妈妈逼着到图书馆去借书,结果因为看到了一本关于与自己所丢失的狗相似的狗的书,从此对阅读产生了兴趣,最终我成为了一个著名的作家.充分说明了书的魅力.

解答 24.C.推理判断题.根据第一段最后一句This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem-inability to read.因为我以前不喜欢阅读,妈妈让我去借书读,这是希望让我培养起读书的兴趣.故C正确.
25.B.推理判断题.根据第三段前三句There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked identical(相同的) to my dog.I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover.My eyes ran acrossthe title,Amos,the Beagle with a Plan.Unknowingly,I had read the title.可知这本书里描述的狗和我之前养的狗是一样的,这让我想起了自己所养的那支比格犬.所以我情不自禁地读了下去.故B正确.
26.A.推理判断题.根据文章最后两句And years later,she was proud that her son had read thousands of books,was awarded a PhD in the literature,and authored his own books,articles,poetry and fiction.The power of the words has held.说明后来母亲为我自豪,因为我获得了文学博士,也写了自己的书、诗歌和小说.我从一个不愿意读书的人成为一个著名的作家.故A正确.
27.A.标题概括题.本文叙述了自己从一个不愿意读书的孩子被妈妈逼着到图书馆去借书,结果因为看到了一本书,这本书里介绍了与自己丢失的狗相似的狗,最终我成为了一个著名的作家.充分说明了书的魅力.故A正确.

17.Last year I ruined my summer vacation by bringing along a modern convenience that was too convenient for my own good:the iPad.Instead of looking at nature,I checked my e-mail.Instead of paddling a small boat,I followed my Twitter feed(推特简讯).Instead of reading great novels,I stuck to reading four newspapers each morning.I was behaving as if I were still in the office.My body was on vacation,but my head wasn't.
So this year I made up my mind to try something different:withdrawal(退出)from the Internet.I knew it wouldn't be easy,since I'm bad at self-control.But I was determined.I started by giving the iPad to my wife.
The cellphone signal at our house was worse than in the past,making my attempts at cheating an experience in frustration (沮丧).I was trapped,forced to go through with my plan.Largely cut off from e-mail,Twitter and my favorite newspaper websites,I had few ways to connect to the world except for the radio-and how much radio can one listen to,really?I had to do what I had planned to do all along:read books.
This experience has had a happy ending.With determination and the strong support of my wife,I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet,realizing finally that it was I,not the iPad,that was the problem.I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi."I don't need it,"I said.
However,as we return to post-vacation life,a harder test begins:Can I continue when I'm back at work?
There are times when the need to know what's being said right now is great.I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely.But I hope to resist the temptation (诱惑)to check my e-mail every five minutes,which leads to checking my Twitter feed and a website or two
I think a vacation is supposed to help you reset your brain to become more productive.Here I hope this one worked.

18.How fit are your teeth?Are you lazy about brushing them?Never fear:An inventor is on the case.An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush,and it lets you track(跟踪) your performance on your phone.
The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week.It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection.
The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right (don't forget the insides of the teeth!) and make sure you're brushing long enough."It's kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,"says Thomas Serval,the French inventor.
The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone,so developers could,for example,create a game controlled by your toothbrush.You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth."We try to make it smart and fun,"Serval says.
Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father.He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth.They said"yes,"but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry.He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed.
The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer,from 99to199,and the U.S.is the first target market.

B.You should see your dentist on a day-to-day basis.
C.You'd like a dentist to watch you brush your teeth every day.
D.You can brush with the Kolibree as if guided by a dentist.
31.What can we infer about Serval's children?A
A.They were unwilling to brush their teeth
B.They often failed to clean their toothbrushes.

15.It can be rude to talk politics over dinner…explicitly at least.But subtle linguistic cues might reveal more than you think about your political views,whether at the dinner table-or on Twitter."There's a lot of information in the details of our language."Matthew Purver,a computational linguist at Queen Mary University of London."The little words we use,the way we join together our sentences,and the kind of interactional patterns,where we react to other people."
Purver's research team used Twitter as their communications forum,randomly selecting 28,000 users,half of whom clearly followed one political party's Twitter feeds,for example,@GOP,but not the other,for a more or less even split among Republicans and Democrats.Then they analyzed the words in those users'timelines during a two-week period in June 2014.
As you might expect,the tweets of users who followed Republican accounts were a lot more likely to contain words like"obamacare"and"benghazi,"whereas"bridge gate"came up more among Democratic followers.
But the researchers also found that the left-leaners were much more likely to use words like sh#& and fu@$ than were the righties.And whereas Republican followers preferred plural pronouns like"we"or"us,"Democratic followers used more singular pronouns,like"I"or"me.".
That pronoun use could reflect previous work on how people on the right and left forge their political views."People on the right end of the political spectrum are more likely to be concerned with group conformity.Whereas people who tend to be on the left are perhaps more likely to see their morals or their values deriving from individualistic ideas,if you like."The study is in the journal PLoS ONE.
Of course,just following a political account is not proof of political belief.But these findings suggest that algorithms may increasingly be able to read between the lines,detecting nuances in human communication that even we humans can't perceive.
 
29.What is the meaning of"There's a lot of information in the details of our language."?A
A.Information can be conveyed through the way of word combination,sentence pattern,etc.explicitly or implicitly.
 B.We convey our meaning directly through language.
C.People say what they want.
D.Language is the only way we convey our meaning.
30.What result does Purver's research team find?C
A.Republican followers used more singular pronouns.
B.Democratic followers preferred plural pronouns like"we"or"us".
C.Republican followers are more likely to be concerned with group conformity.
D.Democratic followers did not care about government issues because they value individuality
31.What preference can pronoun use reflect?B
A.That pronoun use could not reflect people's political views.
B.Democratic followers are more likely to see their morals or their values deriving from individualistic ideas.
C.Either Democratic or Republican followers choose the pronouns at random.
D.Republican followers'political views are on the left because they like to use the word conformity.
32.Which of the following is true?C
A.It's right to talk about politics over dinner.
B.People use Twitter to express their political views explicitly.
C.Humans may not perceive what we convey through language.
D.Linguistics has nothing to do with algorithms.
2."Eat local."It's one way to reduce human effect on the planet.Eating local means to try to buy and consume(消耗) foods that are grown in places close to home.However,most of the food sold at supermarkets is not locally grown or produced.Trucks and planes deliver these foods from hundreds or thousands of miles away.During the transportation,greenhouse gases are produced,causing global warming.So the shorter the distance your foods must travel,the less the harm is done to the environment.
But how do you get local food if you live in a large city,hundreds of miles away from farms?Environmental health scientist Dickson Despommier and his students came up with the idea of a"vertical(垂直的) farm".
A vertical farm is a glasswalled structure that could be built as tall as a skyscraper(摩天大楼).Since the garden is built upwards,rather than outwards,it requires much less space than an ordinary farm.The world is quickly running out of room for ordinary farming.Vertical farms could be a key to this situation.Despommier imagines a 30story building with a greenhouse on every floor.The walls of the building would be clear,to allow crops to get as much sunlight as possible.Depending on a city's water resources,Despommier thinks hydroponic(水培) farming is another method for the vertical farm which needs no soil to grow plants.
Despommier says the hydroponic greenhouses would use a system that would use a city's waste water and fill it with nutrition to make the crops grow.If this method works,it would provide food to a city and save millions of tons of water.
The idea of a vertical farm has attracted the attention of government officials around the world.Scott Stringer,a government official from New York City,thinks the city is suitable for the vertical farming."Obviously we don't have much land left for us,"Stringer said,"But the sky is the limit in Manhattan."
Despommier admits that there is still a lot of work to do to make vertical farms a reality."But I think vertical farming is an idea that can work in a big way."he says.
8.Why are people advised to eat local?C
A.Because it means convenience to people.
B.Because it can help people save a lot of money.
C.Because it is environmentally friendly.
D.Because local food has more nutrition.
9.Which is one of the vertical farm's benefits when compared with ordinary farming?B
A.It produces healthier food.
B.It needs less space of the city.
C.It consumes more energy of the city.
D.It does less harm to the cities.
10.From Stringer'words we can conclude thatD.
A.Manhattan has a great potential(潜力) for development
B.there is a limit for using empty land in Manhattan
C.the height of buildings in Manhattan is limited
D.people can make full use of vertical space of Manhattan
11.What can we infer about the vertical farming in the passage?B
A.It has solved the problem of the food shortage in a big way.
B.In a vertical farm,soil may not be needed to grow plants.
C.It is a 30story building with a greenhouse on every floor.
D.Crops are mainly grown in the rainwater in a vertical farm.
2.A dog named Ace is being praised as a hero for licking (舔) the face of a sleeping,deaf 13-year-old Indianapolis boy to warn him that the house was on fire.Indianapolis Fire Department Officer Rita Reith said Nick Lamb was home alone and sleeping without his hearing aids (助听器) when the fire began Wednesday.
"My dog licked my face and woke me up,"Lamb said."I was like,‘Stop it!What?You want to be fed?'I thought he wanted to be fed or go outside."The dog didn't stop licking Lamb until the teen got up.That's when he realized the house was full of smoke."I couldn't hear anything because I had my hearing aids off.My dog Ace smelled it,"Lamb said."I just wanted to get out."Without his shoes but with Ace by his side,he covered his nose and mouth with his T-shirt,and rushed out of the back door,catching one of his hearing aids along the way.He then called his mother and 911.
Lindsay Bernard,Lamb's mother,praised Ace for saving her son's life."It's amazing,because if Ace hadn't been there,Lamb prob ably wouldn't have even woken up,"Bernard said.
