Passage 2 (2015江蘇南京玄武區(qū)一模,c) 

    April will bring a new product — the Apple Watch—into the market.     Last week,the watch was firstly introduced ^WATCH by Tim Cook,Apple's CEO.The price of the watch will differ from $ 349 to$ 1,099,depending on its size,strap and whether it is a sports or regular version.

    Apple engineers and designers have put in a lot of thoughts and hard work into creating this“small screen”on your wrist (手腕) .The “sensor”on the screen not only detects your finger,but knows the difference between when you are tapping,and when you are pressing harder.

    The watch also has “ haptic feedback (觸覺(jué)反饋) ”.You can send personal messages to your friend—such as drawing a star or a special sign with your fingers,or tapping the watch,say 3 times,and your friend will receive those taps on their wrist.

    Besides telling the time,the watch will use “bluetooth” to connect to your iPhone and show calls or text messages that come in.

    According to Tim Cook,the watch may open up a whole new area of applications that we had never thought of. Some car factories like BMW have developed an app that allows its car owners to open their cars with the watch. A “Hotels ”app may allow you to open the door to your hotel room without worrying about losing the smart card.And finally,even airlines are jumping in—passengers may be able to simply wave their wrist to check into their flight.

    The biggest use of the watch,however,is as your personal fitness coach.The watch can measure your pulse ( heartbeat) using a sensor at the bottom of the watch.lt also has the same” accelerometer  as your iPhone,so it knows when you are moving,and also how much you are walking or running.lt will remind you if you have been sitting for too long without much activity. Many stores are planning to stop selling the Nike,Jawbone and FitBit devices ( 設(shè)備) to welcome ihe Apple Watch.Will the Apple Watch really replace these devices and make fitness much more fun?

Passage 7(2014 江蘇鎮(zhèn)江，C)

    “In my day,we had to walk a mile to school—uphill,both ways." That may sound like an old joke.Today,only 13  percent of kids walk to school,down from 66 percent 30  years ago.

    Studies show that fewer children are walking and biking to school,and more children are at risk of becoming overweight. Changing behaviors of children and parents requires creative ways that are safe and fun.

    A walking school bus can be both.

    It works like a bus,picking up  passengers along the way at designated (指定的) “bus stops” except everyone is walking!

    The Walking School Bus works as a supervised group of children walking to and from school along a safe and enjoyable set route.There are at least two parents in a group.One parent “drives” at the front of the bus,while the other parent supervises at the back. The different supervisors go with the children to and from school. Ad- ditional (增加的) parents may be needed depending on the walking environment.

    The “bus” can go as often as parents want to “ drive” it and children want to use it.This means that it can even work as little as one morning or afternoon each week. All children are welcome to join the bus even if their parents cannot be drivers. And the service is free.

    Socially,it's great because the children meet other children;oth?erwise they would only know by sight.

    “ My children have formed some good friendships because of the Walking Bus.The parents get to know other parents too!" a parent said From our experience of the Walking Bus,it has only been a meaningful thing.lt gets all of us walking more and the children do not complain about walking like they used to.

    Some kids said compared to the Walking School Bus,it's boring in a car when they were asked why not get into a car.

    Besides these,it might have a good effect on heavy traffic.

1. How many students walked to school 30 years ago?

   A. 66 percent. B. 13 percent.

   C. 30 percent.  D.53 percent.

2. What does the underlined word “supervised” mean in the pas?sage?

   C. required   D. improved 

3. What can the Walking School Bus NOT do to help the children    .

  A. make more friends 

  B. reduce the risk of being overweight 

  C. exercise more

Passage 4 ( 2015江蘇泰州靖江，C)

     Text messaging, or “texting ”，which allows people to send and receive messages on mobile phones, becomes very popular today.

    The advantages of texting are obvious. Texting helps to save money. If you have a few words to greet your family and friends on their birthdays or on some important festivals,sending messages can be cheaper than phone calling. Texting helps to save time.ICven if you want to send a message to 100 people,you can do il in one second.Texting helps you to ^talk^ to someone when he is too busy to answer the phone.Texting can also help you to “talk” to someone secretly if you don^ want others to hear what you are talking on the phone.These advantages are so amazing that many people are crazy about it. They hold mobile phones in hands all day long,send dozens of messages each day,and even text while driving or walking. However,texting has its disadvantage.Junk messages may come into your mobile phone box now and then. When your phone box gets too lull,you can't receive any more messages. You may therefore miss some important information.

    What's more,if you don't do texting properly,for example,texting while driving or walking,it can be dangerous.lt can cause in?juries and even death.lt was reported that about 6 ,000 people were killed and half a million were injured for this reason each year. In Fort Lee,a small town in New Jersey,theUSA. three people died be?cause they walked into traffic while texting in 2013.Two researchers at Stony Brook University,New York found that texters are 60% more probably to have an accident than others. When people are texting,they don^ notice other people or things around them.To reduce traffic accidents,all drivers of the UN are now not allowed to text while driving. About 32 countries have passed laws restricting (限制) the use of mobile phones while driving.

    Texting is a wonderful way of communication. However,only when we use it properly,can we fully enjoy the fun il brings.

1. How many advantages of texting are mentioned in the passage?

   A. Two. B. Three. C. Four.  D . Five.

2. What did the researchers at Stony Brook University find?

  A. Texters are easier to have an accident.

  B. Texting is a good way of communication.

  C. 6,000 people were killed and injured.

  D. Many people text to greet family and friends.

3. The umderlined word “injuries” probably means    .

   A. 事故   B. 傷害   C. 爭(zhēng)執(zhí)   D. 死亡

4. Which of the following statements is wrong according to the pas?sage?

  A. Texting while driving or walking is dangerous.

  B. To reduce traffic accidents,all drivers of the UN are now not al?lowed to text while driving.

  C. Texting has more advantages than disadvantages,so we can use it any time.

  D. If you don't want others to hear what you are talking on the phone,you can text.

5. The passage is written to tell us that    .

  A. we should do less texting 

  B. texting has many advantages

Passage 1 ( 2015 河北) 

    Many people believe that yellowing and wetness are the greatest enemy of stamps. In fact,stamps are afraid of not only wetness,but also light and dirty things.People protect their stamps in several different ways.

    To protect stamps,we should never touch the stamps with our hands.This avoids moving dirty things onto them.Stamp tweezers (懾 子) should be used in all conditions.

    Stamps are printed things.The colour will slowly disappear if the stamps are put in the light for a long time. So we should not put stamps in the light for long.Direct sunlight must be avoided as well.

    Wetness is an important problem for stamps.Some collectors will put stamps in separate plastic (塑料) bags. However,it is possible that some stamps have taken in some water from the air before they are put into the plastic bags.Stamps become yellow easily and rapidly after they take in wet air.To protect the stamps,some people also put the stamps into a special room which has a machine to keep the air cool and dry.However,not many people can afford that.

    To keep stamps,stamp collectors usually put them under plastic covers.lt is a common and simple way.This helps because the plastic cover keeps the stamps off the wet air. It also stops the fingers from touching the stamps.

    Some collectors prefer to store stamps inside a plastic box with desiccants (干燥劑) .However,we should take care not to let the stamps touch the desiccants.On top of that,don't take your stamps out on a wet day.

Passage 8 (2014 浙江杭州，B) 

      How quickly can you count from one to ten? Do you use ten dif?ferent words to do it? Can you do it in English,or do you have to use your first language? Do you count on your fingers? Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world.But sci?entists have discovered that it is not true.

    People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers.In the United States,people begin counting with their first finger,which they extend or stick out.They then extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb (梅指) to count to five.Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten. InChina,people count by using different finger positions. In this way,a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand.

    Besides ways of finger counting,scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers.Some langua?ges have only a few words for numbers,and others have no words for numbers.A group of scientists studied aboriginal (土著白勺) people in Australia.These people don't have haml movements to stand for numbers. They don’t even have words for numbers.However,they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers.

    In a similar study,researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discovered that people of the Pirahfi tribe (部落) in northwestern Brazil don't have words for numbers such as “ one ” or “three”.They are not able to say “five trees” or “ten trees” but can say“ some trees”，‘‘ more trees”，or“ many trees” . Professor Edward Gibson said that most people believe that everyone knows how to count but here is a group that does not count.They could learn,but it's not useful in their culture,so they’ve never picked it up."

    Although all humans are able to understand quantities (數(shù)量) ，not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting.Num?ber words in a certain language are a result of people needing num?bers in their daily lives. Now we know that people have different ideas about numbers and math,too.

1. The writer begins with the four questions in order to .

   A. make a survey   B. interest readers

   C. tell a story   D. solve math problems 

2. What do we learn from the difference in finger counting between theU.S.andChina?

  A. People fromChinacount much faster than people from theU.S.

  B. People fromChinaneed two hands to count from one to ten.

  C. People of different cultures may use different ways of finger counting.

  D. People of different cultures use the same way of finger counting.

3. Which of the following is true about aboriginal Australians?

  A. They have only a few words for numbers.

  B. They have hand movements to stand for numbers.

  C. They can only count to five on their fingers.

  D. They can understand different ideas about numbers.

4. The study of the Piraha tribe shows that .

  A. people all over the world know how to count 

  B. people of the tribe have words for numbers 

  C. some groups of people are not smart enough to count     D. counting is not useful in the culture of the tribe 

5. What is the main idea of the passage?

  A. People from different cultures have different ideas about numbers and math.

  B. Chinese people can count more easily on their fingers than Americans.

  C. In some aboriginal cultures,people don't even know how to count.

  D. Some languages don't have number words because people don't need numbers.
