A．is buildingB．been builtC．is being builtD．be building

分析 在街角有一座新房子正在被建造，下一个月完工．

解答 答案：C．根据will be completed next month可以知道新房子正在被建造，所以用现在进行时态的被动语态，因此答案是Cis being built．其他选项的时态不对，A是选择进行时；B和D没有这种形式．

点评 考查现在进行时态的被动语态．语境是时态选择的重要依据，因此要仔细审题，注意前后的关系．

13．It is surprising that eating three meals a day--breakfast，lunch and dinner--has been a custom only since 1890．Before this time，they only had two meals a day--breakfast and dinner．
In the 16th century，breakfast was only to break one's fast （随便吃一点）．But 200years later it had became a large meal，not just for family，but for numbers guests as well．It was a social event．It began at 10a．m．and lasted until 1p．m．Then breakfast began to be less popular．It became，instead，a lighter meal and was taken at a much earlier hour．By 1850it had been pushed back to 8a．m．and became a family meal．
Dinner，however，went to the other way．In the 16th century it was eaten at 11p．m．Years later，it had moved to the early afternoon，then to 5p．m．By 1850dinner time had reached 7p．m．Lunch is a recent idea．It first appeared as a snack to fill the gap（间隙）between breakfast and dinner．

31．English people did not have lunchB．
A．after 1890   B．until 1890      C．in 1890    D．by 1850
32．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3means thatC．
A．dinner didn't go there with breakfast
B．dinner is the same with breakfast
C．dinner is different from breakfast
D．dinner took the same way with breakfast

10．Every day we are exposed to images，videos，music and news．In this age of visual and aural hyper-stimulation，the medium of radio is making a great comeback．
"We're at the beginning of a golden age of audio，"said US-based podcaster Alex Blumberg in an article in The Sydney Morning Herald．In the last month alone，15 percent of US adults listened to a radio podcast （播客）．These statistics，released by Edison Research，show the successful evolution of traditional radio broadcasts to the present day's digital podcast format．The term"podcast"was invented in 2004，but the trend only started gaining mainstream popularity in recent years．With the sharp increase in consumer demand for smartphones and tablets，podcast sales have jumped．
The appeal of the podcast partly lies in its multiplatform delivery and on-demand capabilities （功能）．You can listen during those extra minutes of the day when you're walking to the shops，waiting in a queue or riding the subway．Similar to television shows，podcasts are generally free to download and most offer new content every week．
Donna Jackson，22，Sydney University media graduate，listens to podcasts two or three times a week，via iTurns．"I listen while I'm wandering around the house doing something else．It makes completing a boring task much more enjoyable…And it's an easy way of keeping in touch with what's going on in the rest of the world，"she said，"I mainly listen to BBC podcasts，but recently I've also been listening to This American Life and Serial．They have a special skill to really draw you in．"
Unlike television and music，the audio format has the potential to create a deep impression on readers．Blumberg says this owes to the podcast's ability"to create close relationship and emotional connection．"Sydney University undergraduate Hazel Proust，majoring in social work and arts，agrees．"When you're listening，it feels as if the voice of the podcast's storyteller is talking directly to you．It's comforting，"said Proust．
It seems the age-old tradition of verbal storytelling is very much alive and well．

67．From the first two paragraphs，we can learn thatC．
A．traditional broadcast has come back
B．Americans love listening to the radio
C．podcasts have become very popular today
D．smartphones sell well because of podcasts

B．the advantage of podcasts

D．people's reaction to the medium

A．Return of Radio

C．Features of Radio

17．When Jeff Sparkman draws his cartoon superheroes with colored pencils，he often has to ask other people to tell him what color his masked men turned out to be because he's color-blind．Now，a new smart phone application （app） can help him figure out what colors he's using and how the picture looks to most everyone else．
The DanKam app，available for iPhone and Android for 2.99dollars，is an application that turns the vague colors that one percent of the population with color-blindness sees into the"true"colors as everyone else sees them．In America，an estimated 32 million color-blind Americans-95% are males-can soon have their life improved．
"DanKam takes the stream of data coming in through the phone's camera and changes the colors slightly so they fall within the range that people who are color-blind see，"developer Dan Kaminsky told CNET．He came up with the idea after watching the 2009film Star Trek with a color-blind friend．
It was then that he got to know more about colorblindness like its varying types and degrees．A vast majority，for instance，have trouble seeing red or green due to a genetic defect（遗传缺陷）．Blue-yellow colorblindness，however，is rarer and develops later in life because of aging，illness or head injuries，etc．He started experimenting with one of the most common representations of points in the RGB color model．What the DanKam app attempts to do is to clean up the color space of the image or video signal so that colors can be visible to those suffering from viewing problems．"You can adjust the app to fit your needs．There is a range and not everyone who is color-blind sees things the same．"Says Kaminsky．
Sparkman，a copy editor at CNET，tried out the app and was pleased with the results．"It would be useful for dressing for a job interview，"he said．But using it for his art is"the most practical application．"It worked well on LED and other lights on electronic gadgets，which means Sparkman can now identify the power light on his computer display as green．

61．According to the first two paragraphs，we can know that DanKamA．
A．is designed to help people with colorblindness
B．can turn vague colors into real ones
C．is a phone used to help drawing pictures  
D．appeared in the movie Star Trek
62．How does DanKam's app work？D
A．It puts LED and other lights on electronic gadgets．
B．It shows common representations of points in the RGB color model
C．It checks color-blind people's types of degrees of colorblindness．
D．It changes the colors so that color-blind people can see them．
63．It can be inferred from the passage that colorblindnessB．
A．cannot be cured by any methods   
B．is not necessarily inborn disease
C．is more commonly seen in women  
D．makes people unable to tell any colors

A．recognizable    
B．enjoyable    
C．adjustable

65．Which of the following is NOT included in the things that DanKam helps Sparkman with？B
A．Choosing clothes．
B．Playing computer games
C．Drawing his pictures．
D．Handling electronic gadgets．
7．Do you want to love what you do for a living？Follow your passion （激情）．This piece of advice provides the foundation for modern thinking on career satisfaction．But this can be a problem．
I've spent the past several years researching and writing about the different strategies （策略） we use to seek happiness in our work．It became clear early in the process that the suggestion to"follow your passion"had some mistakes，for it lacks scientific evidence．However，it doesn't mean you should abandon the goal of feeling passionate about your work．The reality emphasizes that things are quite complicated．
Passion is earned．Different people are looking for different things in their work，but generally，people with satisfying careers enjoy some combination of the following features：autonomy，respect，competence，creativity，and a sense of impact．In other words，if you want to feel passionate about your livelihood，don't seek the perfect job，but seek to get more of these features in the job you already have．
Passion is elusive．Many people develop the rare and valuable skills leading to passion，but still end up unhappy in their work．The problem is that the features leading you to love your work are more likely to be useful to you than your organization．As you become increasingly"valuable"，for example，your boss might push you toward traditional promotions that come with more pay and more responsibility，as this is what is most useful to your company．However，you might find more passion by applying your value to gain autonomy in your schedule or project selection．
Passion is dangerous．I've watched too many of my peers fall into anxiety and constant job-hopping due to the"follow your passion"advice．The issue is expectations．If you believe we all have a pre-existing passion，and that matching it to a job will lead to instant workplace happiness，reality will always pale in comparison．Work is hard．Not every day is fun．If you're seeking a dream job，you'll end up disappointed，again and again．Don't set out to discover passion．Instead，set out to develop it．This path might be longer and more complicated than what most cheerful career guides might support，but it's a path much more likely to lead you somewhere worth going．
