13．Have you ever studied a subject or brainstormed an idea，only to find yourself with pages of information，but no clear view of how it fits together？This is where Mind Mapping can help you．
Mind Mapping is a useful technique that helps you learn more effectively，improves the way that you record information，and supports and enhances creative problem solving．By using Mind Maps，you can quickly identify and understand the structure of a subject．You can see the way that pieces of information fit together，as well as recording the raw facts contained in normal notes．（36）F，as they help your mind recall and review．
Popularized by Tony Buzan，Mind Maps abandon the list format of conventional note taking．They do this in favor of a two-dimensional structure．A good Mind Map shows the'shape'of the subject，the relative importance of individual points，and the way in which facts relate to one another．（37）A．
1．Write the title of the subject you're exploring in the center of the page，and draw a circle around it．
2．As you come across major subdivisions or subheadings of the topic （or important facts that relate to the subject） draw lines out from this circle．Label these lines with these subdivisions or subheadings．
3．As you"burrow"into （挖掘） the subject and uncover another level of information （further subheadings，or individual facts） belonging to the subheadings，draw these as lines linked to the subheading lines．
4．（38）E．
5．As you come across new information，link it in to the Mind Map appropriately．
（39）D．Sub-topics and facts will branch off these，like branches and twigs from the trunk of a tree．You don't need to worry about the structure you produce，as this will evolve of its own accord．
（40）B．If you do any form of research or note taking，try experimenting with Mind Maps．You will find them surprisingly effective!

A．To draw a Mind Map，follow these steps：
B．More than this，Mind Maps help you remember information
C．Mind Mapping is an extremely effective method of taking notes．
D．When created using colors and images or drawings，a Mind Map can even resemble a work of art!
E．Then，for individual facts or ideas，draw lines out from the appropriate heading line and label them．
F．They help you to ssociate ideas and make connections that you might not otherwise make．
G．A complete Mind Map may have main topic lines radiating（发射） in all directions from the center．

12．Tired of walking？An American inventor has designed a pair of motorized shoes．The battery powered high-tech footware called"spnKiX"resemble a cross between a ski boot and a roller skate with oversized wheels and are among the inventions on display at the Consumer Electronics Show （CES） in Las Vegas．
A user fixes the motorized skates on to their shoes，and then you can go at the speed of up to 16 kilometers per hour．The futuristic（未来派的） shoes are the brainchild of Peter Treadway，a Los Angeles-based industrial designer．Treadway holds degrees in industrial design，including one from the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design，but he said his interest in fashion contributed to the development of the motorized shoes．
"I've been developing some form of wearable transportation since the 1990s．I was going to lunch one day and couldn't find a place to park，"he said．"I thought‘Why don't I make something that could get me from home to someplace really close by？'"
Treadway said each shoe has a battery and a motor and they can work together as"sort of mirrors of each other"．The rechargeable battery allows the wearer to go about three to five kilometers on a single charge and needs about two to three hours to fully juice up again．
A handheld wireless remote controller which is smaller than a deck of cards controls the speed of shoes．"It's very simple，"Treadway said．
Not everyone finds the shoes easy to use at first，however．Training wheels are provided to take the pain out of the learning process．
"To achieve some skills could take you anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours，"Treadway said，depending on the individual．
Some of the money for the spnKiX was raised on Kickstarter，a website which collects donations for creative projects．With the help of Kickstarter，Treadway said，the shoes were made by his Los Angeles-based company，Acton Inc．，which will begin shipping in March and will sell for $649a pair．

A．It is motorized shoes with oversized wheels．
B．It is a kind of shoes for people to carry easily．
C．People can go everywhere by wearing spnKiX．
D．People wearing it can go faster than any device．
65．What can we learn about Kickstarter？D
A．It organizes people to follow the trend of fashion．
B．It helps to raise money for the poor people．
C．It encourages people to sell the new products．
D．It offers assistance to the projects with creation．
66．Why does the author mention the lunch experience of Treadway？C
A．To introduce how Treadway deals with the embarrassing situation．
B．To tell us how lazy and foolish Treadway is．
C．To introduce the motivation of his invention about spnKiX．
D．To introduce how Treadway operates his company well．
67．It can be inferred from the passage thatB．
A．treadway is the manager of Kickstarter
B．motorized shoes are ready to roll into stores
C．everyone finds it hard to use spnKiX at first
D．the speed of spnKiX is determined by its battery．

11．February 8，1922，was a big day at the White House．On this day President Harding had a radio installed．At the time，radio was the hottest technology there was．The White House was on the cutting edge．Almost two years later，Calvin Coolidge，who followed Harding，was the first president to broadcast from the White House．
Before that historic broadcast，radio had played a big role in Coolidge's victory in the 1924presidential election．The night before the election，Coolidge made history when the largest radio audience ever tuned into the broadcast of his final campaign speech．Coolidge won the election easily，and in March，Americans listened for the first time to their president take the oath of office on the radio．
Back in the 1920s，radio was in what is now called its"golden age"．Broadcasting was more than a business or a job-it was considered to be a very attractive profession．Many local stations had a staff orchestra，and some had their own dramatic groups．Each station had its own group of fans who tuned in each week to listen to their favorite programs．Radio was at its peak then，and its influence is much like that of TV or the Internet today．
Starting in the 1920s，people gathered around the radio to listen to programs or the news，much like we gather around the TV．With its new popularity，radio became a powerful communication tool in politics．Franklin Delano Roosevelt，who became president in 1933，used the radio to deliver regular updates to the American public．In his first address，he explained his plan for fighting the Great Depression．
Today，although we still have radio addresses by the president，more people see the president speak on television than listen to him on the radio．In 1939，Roosevelt was the first US president to deliver a televised speech．The"golden age"of radio was about to fade as television entered its"golden age"．

60．What can we learn from Paragraph 1？C
A．The White House was at the edge of disaster．
B．The White House was in the Great Depression．
C．Radio was a most advanced technology in the 1920s．

B．Working on radio was the most attractive job．
C．The effect of radio was stronger than TV and the Internet．
D．Using radio to communicate in politics was very popular．
62．Who was the first president to deliver his speech on TV according to the passage？D
A．President Harding．
B．President Cleveland．
C．President Coolidge．
D．President Roosevelt．
63．What is the passage mainly about？B

8．For centuries the Atlantic Ocean kept the Americans from being discovered by the people of Europe．It is more than 4，000 miles（6，400km） wide where Columbus crossed it．（71）BThis narrowest place is between the bulge （鼓起） of South America and the bulge of Africa．
One of the longest mountain ranges of the world rises from the floor of the Atlantic．（72）GThe tops of a few of the mountains reach up above the sea and make islands．The Azores are the tops of peaks in the mid-Atlantic mountain range．
Ocean currents （流） are sometimes called"rivers in the sea"．One of these"rivers"in the Atlantic is called the Gulf Stream．It is a current of warm water．Another is the Labrador Current-cold water coming down from the Arctic．（73）EToday the Atlantic is a great highway．（74）AStorms sweep across it and pile up great waves．Icebergs float down from the far north across the paths of ships．
The modern fast ways of traveling make the big ocean seem smaller．Columbus sailed for more than two months to cross it．（75）DAirplanes fly from New York to London in only eight hours and from South America to Africa in four!

A．It is not，however，always a smooth and safe one．
B．Even at its narrowest it is about 2，000 miles （3，200km） wide．
C．The Atlantic furnishes much food for the people on its shores．
D．A fast modern steamship can make the trip in less than four days．
E．Ocean currents affect the climates of the land near which they flow．
F．This big Atlantic Ocean is also home to a variety of animals．
G．This mountain range runs north and south down the middle of the ocean．

7．Green invaders （侵略者） are taking over America．No，not invaders from space．Plants．You might not think of plants as dangerous，but in this case they are threatening nature's delicate food web．
The invaders are plants from other countries brought here to make gardens and yards look pretty．Ever since people started to arrive on America's shores，they've carried along trees，flowers，and vegetables from other places．Now there are so many of those plants，they are crowding out the native plants that have lived here since before human settlers arrived．
And that's a problem，says Dr Doug Tallamy．He's an entomologist （an insect expert）at the University of Delaware．He explains that almost all the plant-eating insects in the United States-90% of them-are specialized．That means they eat only certain plants．Monarch butterfly caterpillars （毛毛虫），for example，feed on milkweed．If people cut down milkweed and replace it with another plant，the butterflies will not have the food source that they need to survive．
But the trouble doesn't stop there，it goes right across the food web．When insects can?t get the right plants to eat and they die off，then the birds don't have enough bugs for their meals．Tallamy points out that almost all migrating birds depend on insects to feed their young．"We cannot let the plants and animals around us disappear，"says Tallamy．"The way to preserve them is to give them food to eat．But when we plant non-native plants，we are clobbering the food web，because then we don't have the insects the birds need to live．"
Fewer of the right plants mean fewer bugs，and fewer bugs mean fewer birds．And that's bad for the Earth，because we need a variety of living things to keep the planet healthy and beautiful．The good news is，gardeners everywhere are working hard to protect native plants and get rid of the invaders．Many local garden centers sell native plants．Planting the right things makes a real difference，and fast．

4．Twenty years ago I discovered I was unexpectedly pregnant．I was on my own and in an extremely limited financial situation．So I worked at a pet shop．Having little money，I started losing weight instead of gaining it．
There was a neighbor woman I had visited with a couple of times，and she started working at the pet shop too．Every day，for lunch，she would produce large，organic salads and other very healthy meals．To my surprise she insisted that I have some of her lunch．I tried to refuse，but she was determined．Puzzled，I managed to eat，and when I admitted to everyone at work that I was pregnant，she was very excited，and kept on feeding me，despite the fact that I couldn't hold it down for very long．
She told me that the body very efficiently directed the nutrition to my developing baby．All through my pregnancy she was a guardian angel，looking after me．We became very close friends，and she and her husband even attended my daughter's birth．They ended up taking us into their home and we became part of their family．
One day I mentioned how much I appreciated how she had shared her lunch with me when we worked at the pet shop．She smiled a secretive smile．She told me"I just knew you were part of our family!"I was stunned （不知所措） as I considered this new information．Here I had been alone and pregnant and poor，only to be taken under wing by this woman．
