【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
I am a volunteer. I set out to help clean up the beach after a violent storm a year ago. The sight I saw was heartbreaking. The broken houses seemed to be crying. I couldn't describe how I felt. But something special among the debris (廢墟) turned my day around.
I joined a club to clean up the beach after the storm last November. As I removed the debris from the beach, I noticed an object with shiny buttons in the wet sand. It was a jacket,and I was excited since Halloween(萬圣節(jié)) was coming and I thought I had found a great costume(戲服). After picking it up, I was able to see that the jacket was from West Point (西點(diǎn)軍校), the United States Military Academy, and it had the name “deGavre” written inside. I realized the jacket might be important to someone. I decided to find the jacket's owner and return it.
I called the West Point Museum, considering that if the family couldn't be found, the jacket should go there. The museum connected me with Kim McDermott, Director of Communications for the Academy's Association of Graduates. Kim soon ensured that the jacket had belonged to Chester Braddock deGavre, who was a 1933 graduate and a war hero, but passed away in 1993.
I sent Kim a photo of the jacket and she posted it to the West Point Association of Graduates Facebook Page, asking if anyone could help us find the family. In less than two hours, someone had found and called the hero's wife, Teresa. Soon I started to receive personal messages from members of the deGavre family, their friends and others who were touched by the story and they found me on Facebook.
Finding Chester deGavre's jacket and connecting to his family with the help of Facebook have been so meaningful to me. I've formed a bond(紐帶) with amazing people I might have never met.

(1)A
(2)B
(3)D

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容的理解,選擇正確答案。 On the first day of school I brought my camera to school. I gave the students a piece of 8 ×11 cardboard(紙板), and asked them to write their names on both sides. As they finished, I asked them to get into groups of three to four students and took photographs of them holding their name cards.
After school, I developed the film and printed two sets of photos. That evening, I started to match the names with the faces. I kept one set of pictures at home for about a week so that I could review their names each night. On the second day of school, I put up the other set of photos as a bulletin board, with a title such as "Presenting Room 108, ……"
The kids loved it! After I had learned all of their names I brought the second set back to school and stuck them onto an 8 ×11 sheet of paper. I placed it in the classroom for other teachers.
The cardboard name cards that were made on the first day were collected and put on a shelf. From time to time, they were given back to the students and placed on their desks so that guests or supply teachers could identify all of the students.
I've been doing this with my grade 7 students for the last nine years and they liked it. It's fun to bring the photos out again at the end of the school year to see how much they have all changed in ten months.
(1)The cardboards were used to ________.
A.play some kind of game
B.decorate the classroom
C.identify the students
D.print the photos on
(2)The writer of the passage might be a ________.

A.To memorize the students' names at home.
B.To make cardboard name cards for supply teachers.
C.To make a bulletin board in the classroom.
D.To match the students' names with their faces
(4)Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The students didn't have to use the cardboard name cards to identify each other.
B.Other teachers couldn't identify the students without the cardboard name cards.
C.The writer kept the cardboard name cards as a souvenir for nine years.

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
Jayson McCarthy, 12, was born without fingers on his left hand. That didn't stop him from being able to do many tasks. But Jayson could not grasp more than one object at a time. So Jayson 's father, Paul, created a Prosthesis(假肢), using a 3D printer. Now Jayson has fingers that open and close. “It was a do-it-yourself, father-and-son adventure,” says Paul.
When Jayson was a baby, his doctor advised his parents not to give him a prosthetic hand until he was in his early teens. “The doctor said Jayson should first learn to get full use out of the hand he was born with,” says Paul. As Jayson got older, his father looked into purchasing a prosthetic hand, which can cost as much as $30,000. Paul found a more affordable solution.
One day, Paul discovered a video on the Internet about Robohand, a prosthesis created with a 3D printer. He downloaded the free instructions and called Robohand's creators for advice. They told him all he needed was a 3D printer—which costs around $2,000—and some materials.
Luckily, Jayson 's school had recently purchased a 3D printer and it offered to help Paul build the hand for Jayson n. “We used a soccer shinguard(護(hù)脛), cardboard(硬紙板), and tape. They cost about $10,” says paul.
With his new hand, Jayson can do things better. “I can help my mom more, because now I can carry two grocery bags,” he says.
Jayson 's father has already built several hands for Jayson. Jayson helps design each one. He says there's one thing in particular that he wants to do with a future prosthesis. “The goal,” he says, “is to be able to tie my shoelaces(鞋帶).”
(1)Why did Jayson 's doctor disapprove of(不贊成) his using a prosthesis in his childhood?
A.The prosthetic technology was underdeveloped then.
B.A prosthesis was very expensive at that time.
C.To use the disabled hand was important.
D.The original hand could do many tasks.
(2)Jayson 's father managed to get Jayson a new hand by ________.
A.collecting money on the Internet
B.buying a prosthetic hand
C.buying a 3D printer
D.printing a hand
(3)The underlined word in paragraph 2 can be replaced by ________.
A.buying
B.borrowing
C.renting
D.making
(4)What's the best title for the text?
A.A DIY Enthusiast
B.A Helping Hand
C.A Great Adventure
D.A Lucky Escape

Here are some tips that will help you get rid of anxiety over being phoneless or reduce your risk of phone addiction.
Disable the Internet connection. Take up your courage to disable the Internet connection on your smartphone. Needless to say, you will save o lot of cash on it.
Find your passion. Find your dream job and you will leave your “best friend” at least for a while. If you have nothing to do at home, try a new hobby that will distract you from all those apps and social media.
Purchase an ordinary phone. No smartphones. No iphones. Remember those times when we used phones in emergency situations only or when we wanted to invite someone to a party.
Don't let the fear control you. Claim your joy. I can only speak for myself here, but I think that a smartphone is one of the worst inventions. It's useful and helpful at times, but it has ruined many happy lives and relationships. That's because we allow our phones to control us.
The fear of being phoneless is a serious problem. It's like drug or cigarette addiction. If you want to change your life, sell your expensive smartphone, buy an ordinary one, and become a sociable person. There are so many wonderful people that can bring joy into our life. Chatting online is great, but chatting in real life is best.
A. Free your mind.
B. Choose other electronic devices.
C. Keep your mind sharp and alert.
D. Beat your social butterfly wings.
E. Those who love their jobs never feel exhausted and bored.
F. Thus, you'll spend less time with your phone and more time in real life.
G. I bet some of you remember times when few people had a phone at home.

【題目】閱讀理解
A new concept vehicle, Pod was introduced by Toyota and Sony at the Tokyo motor show. The car is intended as a four-wheeled friend. It aims to provide affection, sympathy and encouragement. Like a dog welcoming its master, the car sits up, wags its tail and acknowledges its owner's presence using hydraulics(液壓裝置) and a multi-colored LED display panel(引擎) across the front.
While on the road, the car constantly monitors the driver's mood with pulse and sweat sensors on the joystick(操縱桿). Cameras focused on the eyes keep watch for any sigh of drowsiness. If a driver appears to be losing his or her cool, Pod will display warnings, play soft music and blow cold air at the face. Drivers are shaken awake with loud music and a shaking chair.
To improve driving skills, pod compares acceleration, braking and steering with the best performance recorded by professionals. It uses this comparison to score drivers, offer advice and rank all Pod owners. Toyota claims that the car will eventually be able to learn its owner's likes and dislikes by monitoring passenger conversations. If the car hears a favorite song being discussed, it will download the track from the Internet and play it without being asked. It will also recommend restaurants that might suit the driver's taste and take photographs of passengers when they sound particularly happy.
In keep with the moodiness that is the car's main selling point, Pod expresses a form of road anger. If a driver brakes or swerves(轉(zhuǎn)向) suddenly, the LED panel shows an angry red and the tail rises at the back.
Anger is one of the car's ten “emotional states”. Another is sadness — a blue front with tear-shaped lights seemingly dropping from headlights — which appears after a flat tire or when gas is low.
“We wanted to show that the cars can be cheerful and entertaining,” said Yasunori Sakamoto, part of the Toyota design team. Mr Sakamoto said Toyota has no plans to put Pod on the market. Sad, really.
(1)The underlined word “drowsiness” in Paragraph 2 means _________.
A.fear
B.boredom
C.excitement
D.sleepiness
(2)According to the text, Pod can ___________.
A.rank the restaurant nearby
B.test the driver's driving skills
C.have a conversation with drivers
D.recommend a song to passenger
(3)If the new concept vehicle is running out of gas, __________.
A.the Led panel turns red
B.the tail rises at the back of the car
C.the front light turn blue and look like tears
D.the car stops and shake with loud music
(4)What is the author's attitude towards Pod?
A.Supportive.
B.Doubtful.
C.Pessimistic.
D.Tolerant.
