19.It seems the more time we have,the longer we put off living the life we see in our heads,because we feel like we've got some time to kill.
I know where you think I'm going with this,and I also know you've heard it all before:seize the day,make the most of it,live life to its fullest,and so on.But that's the problem.You've heard it all before.These ideas have their impact and have become a cliché.Luckily,that's not my thing.
The real answers wake something up inside you.They make you think.That's what I want to give you today,the story of Bobby Darin,which wakes you up to the truth.
If you haven't heard of the man,I know you've heard his songs.Among his many hits are Mack the Knife,Beyond the Sea,Dream Lover,and Splish Splash.
If seven years,Darin had several top ten hit songs,was nominated(提名) for four Grammy Awards (winning two),nominated for four Golden Globes (winning one),and even nominated for an Oscar.
So what was his secret?
All his life,Darin had a heart condition that developed from a childhood illness.The doctors at the time said he would be lucky to live to 16.In other words,his time was limited.And this was secret.He knew the truth.He knew that we all have such a hard time accepting:Life is short.You can't just say it; you can't just hear it.You have to know it,believe it,and feel it.Because Darin knew his time was limited,he packed as much life as he could into the time he had.But he had an unfair advantage.He knew,without a doubt,his time was limited.
There was no fooling himself,no putting it off.It was now or never.

2.The underlined word"cliché"in the second paragraph probably meansC.
A.motto
B.legend
C.often-made remark
D.long-lost verse
3.What can we know about Bobby Darin from the passage?D
A.He was nominated and won the Oscar Reward.
B.He committed suicide at home at last.
C.He got involved I not only music field but directing.

3.An app that does nothing but send a simple notification(提醒) of"Yo"to recipients is the most popular app right now in the US.
The app,named Yo,reached No.1on the Apple App Store in the US last week,after The Financial Times broke the story on June 18that the app has received﹩1 million (6.23 million yuan)in investment funding.
Created in just eight hours by Arbel,a 32-year-old app development from Tel Aviv,Israel,Yo claims to be the"simplest and most efficient communication tool in the world".With a single tap,users can send the word"Yo"to one another in a voice notification-and nothing else.
Arbel said about his app in an interview with The New Yorker that,"It's a whole new way of communication.A hundred and forty characters is way too much these day…It's lightweight,easy,you don't have to open a message-the notification itself is everything you need."
When Yo was launched on April Fools'Day this year,the Apple App Store at first rejected on the grounds that it lacked substance.Many people still see the app as a joke.
Arbel calls Yo"context-based(基于语境的) communication"and some people are beginning to"get it".Jordan Crook,from Tech Crunch,explains why the context of a"Yo"says much more than two little letters:As with anything,a"Yo"can just be a"Yo".But you'll feel a very real difference between a"Yo"get in the morning from a friend and a"Yo"you get in the evening from a board friend.Trust me.And that's the magic.
But people don't always want to load their"Yos"with meaning.David Shapiro,from The New Yorker,says now when he thinks about someone,he just"Yos"them instead of spending time starting and carrying on a conversation.He says it's a great way of saying:"I'm thinking about you but I don't have anything in particular to say."Social media constantly demands our time and attention.Not responding to text message and e-mail can hurt relationships.But,Shapiro says a"Yo"doesn't seem to demand a reply,"What a relief,"he says.

62.Which of the following is TRUE about the app Yo?D
A.It is a better type of social media than micro-blogging.
B.It was launched on April Fools'Day this year as a joke.
C.Because it is simple to use,it has become an instant success.
D.Though it enjoys great popularity in the US,opinions on it are still divided.
63.The underlined word"substance"in Paragraph 5 probably meansC.
A.adequate investment
B.necessary technique support
C.the quality of being meaningful
D.the quality of being fashionable
64.According to David Shapiro,YoB.
A.has more meanings than two letters.
B.is an efficient way to connect with others.
C.is the best way to indicate that you're missing someone.
D.is useful when you want to start a conversation but don't know what to say.
65.The main purpose of the article is toC.
A.tell the story of how Yo was created
B.present people's opinions of Yo
C.give a brief introduction of Yo
D.attract potential customers to Yo.
14.Easter (复活节) is still a great day for worship,candy in baskets and running around the yard finding eggs,but every year it gets quite a bit worse for bunnies.And no,not because the kids like to pull their ears.The culprit is climate change,and some researchers found that rising temperatures are having harmful effects on at least five species of rabbits in the US.
Take the Lower Keys Marsh rabbit for example.An endangered species that lives in the Lower Florida Keys,this species of cottontail is a great swimmer--it lives on the islands!--but it is already severely affected by development and now by rising sea levels.According to the Center for Biological Diversity,an ocean level rise of only 0.6 meters will send these guys jumping to higher ground and a 0.9-meter rise would wipe out their habitat (栖息地) completely.
The snowshoe hare,on the other hand,has a color issue.Most of these rabbits change their fur color from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer,each designed to give them better cover from predators 捕食者).As the number of days with snow decreases all across the country,however,more and more bunnies are being left in white fur during brown dirt days of both fall and spring,making them an easier mark for predators.Researchers know that the color change is controlled by the number of hours of sunlight,but whether the rabbit will be able to adapt quick enough to survive is a big question.The National Wildlife Federation has reported that hunters have noticed their numbers are already markedly down.
American pikas or rock rabbits,a relative of rabbits and hares,might be the first of these species to go extinct due to climate change.About 7-8 inches long,pikas live high in the cool,damp mountains west of the Rocky Mountains.As global temperatures rise,they would naturally migrate to higher ground--but they already occupy the mountaintops.They can't go any higher.The National Wildlife Federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their habitat heats up.
The volcano rabbit has the same problem.These rabbits live on the slopes of volcanoes in Mexico,and recent studies have shown that the lower range of their habitat has already shifted upward about 700 meters,but there are not suitable plants for them to move higher,so they are stuck in the middle.Scientists are concerned about their populations.
Native to the US,pygnty rabbits weigh less than 1 pound and live in the American West.They are belie ved to be the smallest rabbits in the world.Their habitats have been destroyed by development.Several populations,such as the Columbia Basin pygmy,almost went extinct and were saved by zoo breeding programs.Pygmy rabbits also rely on winter cover by digging tunnels through the snow to escape predators,but lesser snowfall is leaving them exposed.
All of this gives new meaning to dressing up in a giant bunny costume this Easter.
32.The writer mentions Easter at the beginning of the passage in order toB
A.show the importance of Easter Day
B.introduce the issue about bunnies
C.remind people of Easter traditions
D.discuss the relationship between Easter and bunnies
33.The word"culprit"(paragraph 2)is closest in meaning toA
A.criminal          B.judge             C.victim         D.producer
34.The problem faced by volcano rabbits and rock rabbits is thatD
A.both are affected by less snow     
B.both are affected by rising sea levels
C.neither can find enough food      
D.neither can migrate to higher places
35.Which best describes the writer's tone in the passage?B
A.Approving.B.Concerned.C.Enthusiastic.D.Doubtful.
