【题目】 As technology in the security field advances, so does the intelligence of the burglars in prevailing over this technology. Gone are the days when a simple alarm system, connected to your phone line, was enough to protect you from potential security risks.

Cellular alarm systems (蜂窝报警系统)are a replacement of the traditional wired phone line security networks. These systems work just like your cell phone. A cellular module is placed in the main control panel and it sends signals, without the use of wires, to the monitoring station. The cellular signal is sent via the data part of a cellular signal, much like a text message.

Sensors can be placed anywhere in your house. Whenever there is an emergency, the relevant sensor picks up the unusual activity and sends a cellular signal to the main control panel. The control panel serves more than one purpose, which sends a cellular signal at the same time to the monitoring service at the back end. The monitoring service later informs the relevant authorities in the form of high-pitched sirens (高音警笛声). Typically it takes a few minutes for emergency services to arrive at the scene. Depending on the efficiency of your monitoring service and the local authorities, help should arrive soon and deal with the potential threats.

It allows you to monitor your house remotely. All you have to do is simply access the cameras from your phone and keep a check for any unusual activities while you are not around. With cellular technology securing your house, you don’t have to worry about the power failure or even burglars cutting your phone lines.

Since these systems operate on batteries, you should be careful about when the batteries die out. There might be other appliances including microwave ovens and WiFi in the house that can cause disruption (干扰). Ensure that your cellular alarm system's range is not affected by the presence of these appliances. Many homeowners tend to go for wireless systems due to the ease of installation (安装)factor. Howeverkeep in mind that a non-professional installation might actually leave the system easy to damage.

1What do the underlined words 'prevailing over' mean in Paragraph 1?

A.Improving.B.Defeating.

C.Worrying about.D.Looking into.

2How can the authorities know an emergency is happening?

A.They hear high-pitched sirens.

B.They read the cellular signal.

C.They check the control panel online.

D.They notice the unusual activity via sensors.

3What can we know about the cellular alarm system?

A.It looks like a phone.B.It is energy-saving.

C.It needs to be improved.D.It is wireless.

4What's the purpose of the last paragraph?

A.To give cautions about the system.

B.To introduce the benefits of the system.

C.To call on people to watch out for security risks.

D.To teach people to install the system correctly.

【题目】请阅读下面文字,并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

As the art of writing Chinese characters, Chinese calligraphy, or shufa, is boasting as long a history as that of China itself. It is one of the highest forms of Chinese art, serving the purpose of conveying thoughts while also showcasing abstract beauty of lines.

According to the new curriculum recently issued by the Ministry of Education, calligraphy education is required in primary and middle schools. Calligraphy education will not only focus on developing students’ ability to write Chinese characters, but also involve traditional Chinese culture and calligraphy appreciation.

Many people support this practice. The primary and middle schools should attach importance to the art of producing beautiful handwriting using pens or brushes. At the same time, provided with appropriate calligraphy education, students can understand the rich connotation (内涵) and cultural value of Chinese calligraphy.

However, some people think it is out of fashion for students to practise calligraphy, because in many cases, we don't have to write Chinese characters thanks to the invention of computers.

【题目】 People express their personalities in their clothes, their cars, and their homes. Because we might choose certain foods to 'tell' people something about us, our diets can also be an expression of our personalities. For example, some people eat mainly gourmet foods, such as caviar (鱼子酱) and lobster (龙虾), and they eat only in expensive restaurants. 1

Human beings can eat many different kinds of foods, but some people choose not to eat meat. 2Their personalities might be similar too. For example, vegetarians in the United States and Canada may be creative people, and they might not enjoy competitive sports or jobs. They worry about the health of the world, and they are probably strongly opposed to war.

3 One study shows that many fast food eaters have a lot in common with one another, but they are very different from vegetarians. They are competitive and good at business. 4 Many fast food eaters might not agree with this description of their personalities, but it is common picture of them.

Some people also believe that people of the same astrological sign (星座) have similar food personalities. Aries (born under the sign of Aries, between March 21 and April 20) usually like spicy foods, with a lot of onions and pepper. People with the sign of Taurus (April 21 to May 22) prefer healthful fruits and vegetables, but they often eat too much. 5 Aquarius (January 21 to February 19) can eat as much meat and fish as they want, but sugar and cholesterol (胆固醇) are sometimes problems for them.

A.They are also usually in a hurry.

B.Some people eat mostly fast food.

C.They know about the “better things in life”.

D.Vegetarians often have more in common than just their diet.

E.People's personalities have something to do with their parents.

F.Many people avoid alcohol, which makes the body lose too much water.

G.Sagittarius (November 22 to December 22) like ethnic foods from many different countries.

【题目】 For most students, writing more clearly persuasively presents a great challenge. 1Few of them, though, focus on filling their essays with necessary information and details, let alone organizing the information.

In order to make an essay convincing, students should know how to select the necessary information and details. 2 Information that can help students clarify and better convey their ideas is certainly important. To figure out what this is, you should make sure you understand the theme of the essay. 3

Suppose you were asked to write an essay describing a memorable event in your life. You should start off by thinking about the events you’ve experienced, and why a particular event is especially memorable to you. 4 While writing the essay, you should constantly remind yourself that since the event must be a memorable one, you should pay attention to describing the details that make it so special.

5 Indeed, before you include any information in your essay, you should think about how to link reasons, examples and details together before you start writing. Only then will you be able to produce a strong and coherent (连贯的) essay.

A.But how do you know what to include?

B.Good writing is sure to leave a deep impression on the readers.

C.Through this process, you can choose a meaningful experience.

D.You can begin with a question, such as why I’m writing this essay.

E.Many can write grammatically correct sentences and choose proper words.

F.However, even if you think of good reasons and examples, you must try to organize your essay well.

G.Only after clearly understanding the topic can you choose proper reasons and examples to support your ideas.

【题目】Do you feel sad? Happy? Angry? You may think that the way you show these emotions is unique. Well, think again. Even the expression of the most personal feelings can be classified, according to Mind Reading, a DVD exhibiting every possible human emotion1

In the mid 1800s, Darwin divided the emotions into six types—anger, fear, sadness, disgust, surprise and enjoymentMore complex expressions of emotion were probably learned and therefore more specific to each cultureBut now it is believed that many more facial expressions are shared worldwide2The Mind Reading DVD is a systematic visual record of these expressions

The project was designed by a Cambridge professorHis research team first had to define an "emotion"3Using this definition, 412 emotion terms were identified and discussed, from "afraid" to "wanting"

Then each expression is acted out by six different actors"It was really clear when the actors had got it right," says Cathy Collis, who directed the DVD"Although they were given some direction, the actors were not told which facial muscles they should move4

Someone who has tried to set such rules is the American, Professor Paul Ekman, who built database of how the face moves for every emotionThe face can make 43 distinct muscle movementsEkman has also found that it may not be possible for people to reproduce them artificiallyThe most difficult expression to reproduce is the smileIt isn't only about stretching the lips, but tightening the tiny muscles around the eyes5If we learnt to recognize whether someone was using their eye muscle when they smiled, we would be able to distinguish true enjoyment from false.

A.It shows 412 distinct ways we feel

B.These can be combined into more than 10,000 facial shapes

C.These particular muscles are difficult to control, and few people can do it

D.They decided that it was a mental state that could be introduced by "I feel" or "he looks "or "she sounds"

E.He said the expression of these feelings was universal and recognizable by anyone, from any culture

F.It is as if they are programmed into the brains of "normal humans" wherever they are and whatever their races

G.We thought of trying to describe each emotion, but it would have been almost impossible to make clear rules for this
