题目内容

5．We areconducting（实施）a survey of consumers'attitudes towards organic food．

分析我们正在实施一项消费者对有机食品的态度的调查．

解答 conduct考查时态．conduct是动词"实施"，根据句意：我们正在实施一项消费者对有机食品的态度的调查．可见要用现在进行时，所以答案填conducting．

点评动词时态的考点是近几年高考试题考查的重中之重．各地高考试题对动词时态的考查越来越侧重于语境化、交际化的理解，这加大了试题的难度，没有明确的时间状语，这就要求考生对句子的语境进行正确的判断，从而选出正确的时态．

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．

10．Most people think about donating blood．However，very few actually do it．Even the most consistent ones donate an average of just three to four times during their lifetime．Now the officials in Sweden are trying to change the trend with the help of modern-day technology．
The encouragement to donate again begins shortly after the donor leaves the clinic when he/she receives a"thank you"text．Though that certainly helps them feel appreciated，what is even more pleasing is the text they receive each time their blood is used to help someone in need．
Karolina Wiberg，manager of the Stockholm blood service，believes this small gesture not only results in repeat donors，but helps bring in new ones．The programthat was started in Stockholm has received such positive feedback that it is now being rolled out across the country．
However，Swedish officials are not stopping there．They are also encouraging local clinics to publish the exact levels of the different blood groups they have at any given time on their websites．This allows potential donors to realize that their blood can make a difference in saving someone's life．
While all these outreach（外展服务） programs are great，busy citizens，even the ones with the best intentions have to be occasionally reminded．In order to jog their memories，officials ask people for authorization（授权） to send them text，Facebook，and e-mail reminders．Though that may sound disturbing，the citizens do not seem to mind，given that the messages are light-hearted and fun-things like"We won't give up until you bleed．"
Though Sweden is currently the only country using modern technology to urge more donations，don't be surprised if more join in，especially if the Nordic country's blood banks start to overflow!
28．Why is another text sent to blood donors after a"thank you"one？B
A．To ask them for authorization．
B．To inform them their blood is used．
C．To remind them to donate blood immediately．
D．To tell them the levels of blood groups．
29．What does"The program"in Paragraph 3 refer to？C
A．Publishing information about blood donation．
B．Giving Facebook reminders to citizens．
C．Sending text messages to blood donors．
D．Providing people with blood service．
30．What do people think of blood donation reminders？D
A．Disturbing．
B．Memorable．
C．Boring．
D．Acceptable．
31．What can we infer from the last paragraph？C
A．Sweden will stop urging blood donation．
B．Sweden has benefited little from its program．
C．More countries may follow Sweden's example．
D．Nordic blood banks are in great need of blood．

17．When times get hard，we all look for ways to cut back．When we're hungry，we eat at home instead of going out．We take buses instead of taxis．And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer．With college expenses at all-time highs，high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education．
One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelor's degree in three years instead of four．Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient．But there's a question：Would the quality of undergraduate（本科生）education suffer？Few US universities have formally supported a"three-year degree"model．
I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum（课程）any time soon．For one thing，most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits（学分）．In addition，at famous universities，the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly"throw out"one quarter of the required credits．Professors will resist"diluting（稀释）"the quality of the education they offer．
In my opinion，a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education．A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major．If we want to help students find their way through university，we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation．We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible．We should give them a chance to earn money as interns（实习生）in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies，such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University．

29．We can learn from the passage thatA．
A．most American universities have not accepted the"three-year degree"model
B．many famous US universities are considering adopting the"three-year degree"model
C．professors are willing to accept the"three-year degree"model
D．the"three-year degree"model can make college learning more efficient
30．We can infer thatC．
A．the author is a college professor
B．the author thinks the cost of a university education is too high for people to afford
C．the author considers the university education quality very important
D．the author pays special attention to the all-round development of college students
31．Which of the following can be the best title？B
A．It's time to shorten the learning process
B．Best learning takes place over time
C．University education should be watered down
D．College education calls for reform．

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．

15．It's thrilling to imagine how future humans will have solved the problems we have now，or what amazing new inventions will make our lives more convenient and interesting．We asked top scientists to share their predictions on what the world will be like in a century．If they're right，the year 2114is going to be really cool．
*Robots will do your chores and more
Robots will be doing most of our jobs，from building homes to teaching math．There are already robots that clean floors and pump gas．In the future they will be more complicated and useful．Unfortunately，with robots taking all the jobs，unemployment will be high．
*You will read minds．
Speaking of being social，we will communicate in an entirely different way．Forget texts and emails．Mind-reading technology will allow us to send thoughts to each other without speaking a word．We will also be able to send thoughts to objects around us．（Instead of pressing"start"on the microwave，you could just think"start．"） Meanwhile，chips implanted（植入）in our brains will improve memory and intelligence．
*Your car will drive you
Today，around 30，000Americans die in car accidents each year．One hundred years form now，accidents will be a thing of the past．According to Mark Safford，consultant or the U．S．Department of Transportation，future cars will drive themselves．These electric cars will communicate with other cars on the road to travel safely in close formation at high speeds．
*You will eat fake meat．
Raising animals is not an efficient way to produce food，and it harms the environment：Cows，chickens，and pigs eat a lot，and then we have to deal with all that poop（粪便）．What's more，that poop can end up poisoning lakes，rivers，and streams．Today，scientists can"grow"meat in a lab from animal cells，but it's expensive and not very delicious．In the future，they will have perfected the process．You'll order hamburgers that come from factories，not cows．Scientists may even find ways to make lab-grown meat tastier and healthier than the real thing．
