At 6:15 the next morning, my alarm clock rang. Unwilling to rise from my bed, I turned it off and went back to sleep. However, 5 minutes later, I struggled to get up. After washing and brushing, I had my sneakers on and went out.Wow! The air was so fresh that I couldn’t help breathing it deeply. I stretched (伸展)my arms and legs, then started to run. I found all things around me were so attractive. Look, the branches were waving, as if they were welcoming me; the blossoming flowers were bowing, with shyness, just like girls. Listen, the wind was whispering, as if to say “come on, girl”. What’s more interesting was those two birds, perching in the tree. They were scared and flew away when I passed them. “Hey, chaps, relax.” I shouted without stopping running. “Let’s enjoy the beautiful morning together!” Then miracle（奇迹）happened. The two little creatures seemed to understand what I said. They turned back and twittered（吱吱叫）around me. “Are you singing for me?” I asked. They twittered again and again, sounded like “Yes”. I was delighted to hear that. Ah, what a wonderful morning and how beautiful life is!Actually, there are a lot of charming things around us. Helen Keller wrote in her famous article Three Days to See, “The seeing see little”. Indeed, many of us ignore the beauty around us, just because we are familiar with them. They always complain that life is boring. But, I just want to say, if you live each day with appreciation of things around, you’ll find life is very charming. So, let’s enjoy life from now on.56. According to the passage, the writer went running with the purpose of ___________. A. talking with birds B. breathing fresh airC. making herself more active D. seeing the beauty of nature57. When did the writer get up? A. At 6:15. B. At 6:20. C. Before daybreak. D. In the late morning.58. What does the underlined sentence “The seeing see little” in the last paragraph mean?A. People who can see hardly find the beauty of nature.B. Those who can see enjoy nature much more than the blind.C. People who go sight-seeing can see little.D. Those who go out only see little things.59. The purpose of the writer in writing this passage is to tell us that ____________. A. fresh air is beneficial B. the nature in the morning is very beautifulC. physical exercise is useful D. we should appreciate the beautiful things in lifeBInventors are always looking for ways to make our lives easier, greener and a whole lot more fun. Take a look at the following breakthroughs in science and technology. What in the world will inventors dream up next?Superhero SuitHave you ever dreamed of becoming a superhero? Dream no more. There’s a real Iron Man suit, XOS 2, which instantly transforms the person wearing it. The suit provides the power to lift 200 pounds with ease and break slabs（厚片）of wood with a single karate chop. It was designed to help the military with heavy lifting. One person in the suit could do the work of three soldiers.Up, Up and Away!It took him 30 years to develop it, and now Glen Martin’s invention is ready to take off. The Martin Jetpack allows its operator to fly 8,000 feet into the air. Unfortunately, you can’t soar through the skies too long. The jetpack holds only 30 minutes’ worth of fuel. The aircraft will sell for $100,000.Hardworking RobotThe EMIEW2 robot is the perfect office helper. Need a document delivered? No problem! It can also guide visitors to their destinations. The three-foot-tall robot can identify different human voices and respond to commands. One day, it may serve as a receptionist or a security guard.Green MachineSay goodbye to gasoline! The AirPod car runs on air power. That means this car won’t pollute the environment. A high-pressure air tank can fill the car in minutes. The three-wheeler can travel about 130 miles between fill-ups.Beef PowerAll aboard the beef train! Amtrak’s Heartland Flyer runs partly on fuel that is made from cow fat. The goal is to reduce carbon emissions by 10%. The train travels between Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and Fort Worth, Texas.Robo-GuardEMILY is a robotic, four-foot-long buoy (救生圈). She can swim through riptides (激流) at up to 24 miles per hour. Her inventor, Tony Mulligan, says that’s 15 times as fast as human lifeguards! EMILY is powered by a tiny electric pump and operated by remote control.60. What is the disadvantage of Glen Martin’s invention?A. It uses large amounts of fuel. B. It only flies at low altitudes.C. It needs a big landing field. D. It has a small gas tank.61. Which of the following inventions may be popular with modern companies?A. The EMIEW2 robot. B. EMILY. C. XOS 2. D. The Martin Jetpack.62. How many environment-friendly inventions are mentioned in the passage?A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.63. From the passage we learn that __________.A. the Superhero Suit is designed for fun B. the EMIEW2 robot can tell different human voicesC. Robo-Guard may serve as a security guardD. the AirPod car travels far with a little gasCMicroblogging is a broadcast medium in the form of blogging. A microblog differs from a traditional blog in that its content is typically much smaller, in both actual size and aggregate file size. Microblogs “allow users to exchange small elements of content such as short sentences, individual images, or video links”.As with traditional blogging, microbloggers post about topics ranging from the simple, such as “what I’m doing right now,” to the thematic (主题的), such as “sports cars”. Commercial microblogs also exist, to promote websites, services and/or products, and to promote collaboration within an organization.Some microblogging services offer features such as privacy settings, which allow users to control who can read their microblogs, or other ways of publishing rights besides entering the web-based interface (界面). These may include text messaging, instant messaging, E-mail, or digital audio.The first microblogs were known as tumblelogs. The term was invented in a blog post on April 12, 2005. However, by 2006 and 2007, the term microblog came into greater usage for such services provided by Tumblr and Twitter. Other leading social networking websites Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, and XING also have their own microblogging features, better known as status updates.Several studies, especially by Harvard Business School have tried to analyze the usage behavior of Microblogging services. Many of these studies show that for services such as Twitter, there is a small group of active users contributing to most of the activity. Twitter, Facebook and other microblogging services are also becoming a platform for marketing and public relations, with a sharp growth in the number of social media marketers. The Sysomos study shows that this specific group of marketers on Twitter is much more active than general user population, with 15% following more than 2,000 people. 64. Why is a microblog different from a traditional blog? A. Because a microblog doesn’t include pictures, but a traditional blog does. B. Because a microblog doesn’t include videos, but a traditional blog does. C. Because a microblog has smaller contents than a traditional blog in actual and total file size. D. Because a microblog can only be written on the cell-phones.65. What is the meaning of the underlined word “collaboration” in the second paragraph? A. Competition. B. Discussion. C. Tradition. D. Cooperation 66. Microblogging can protect the following privacy（隐私）EXCEPT_______. A. deciding the readers of the microblogs B. allowing readers to publish their views C. readers’ deleting what a microblog says D. deciding whether readers can enter it67. We can infer from the passage that ____________. A. microbloggers always post about the thematic topics instead of the simple ones B. microblogging has developed so quickly and brought the owners more and more benefits. C. microblogging protects both the owners’ and the readers’ privacy D. the studies by Harward Business School have analyzed the usage of microblogging servicesDYou wake up in the morning, the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings, you say hello, and the drama starts. The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think, but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time. Life brings ups and downs, but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect. When you communicate with positive people, your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted. When the dagger (匕首) of a negative person is put in you, you feel the heavy feeling that all in all, brings you down. Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people. This could be a co-worker, or a relative. In this case, say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person, but all this is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that. Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized. The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to (附着) you throughout the rest of your day, which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short to feel negative. Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.68. The purpose of the first paragraph is to ______.A. make a comparison B. introduce a topic C. offer an evidence D. describe a daily scene69. Some negative people base their happiness on _______.A. other people’s pity for them B. other people’s respect for themC. building up a positive attitude D. making other people unhappy70. According to the text, to reduce negative people’s influence on us, we are advised to ________. A. show our dissatisfaction to negative people B. communicate with negative people as little as possibleC. make negative people feel ashamed of themselves D. change negative people’s attitudes to life71. What is the author’s attitude towards negative people?A. Favorable. B. Disappointed. C. Critical. D. Supportive.EHealth and climate scientists have mapped how climate change affects different parts of the world in different ways. The scientists point to evidence that changes in the past thirty years may already be affecting human health. Temperature changes may also influence the spread of disease. For example, warmer weather speeds the growth of organisms that cause diseases like malaria and dengue fever.The work by scientists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the World Health Organization appeared in the journal Nature. Jonathan Patz, professor of the Gaylord Nelson Institute, led the study. He notes that climate scientists linked global warming to the heat that killed thousands in Europe in August of 2003. He says poor countries are least responsible for the warming yet are most at risk from the health effects of higher temperatures. He says areas at greatest risk include Southern and Eastern Africa and coastlines along the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Also, large cities experience what scientists call a “heat island” effect that can intensify conditions.Professor Patz says average temperatures worldwide have increased about one-third of a degree Celsius in the last thirty years. But he tells us even that can make a difference with a disease like malaria. The report says average temperatures could increase by as much as six degrees Celsius by the end of the century.Representatives from about 200 nations have been meeting in Montreal, Canada, to discuss climate change. The ten-day conference ends December 9th. It is the first such United Nations meeting since the Kyoto Protocol（《京都议定书》）took effect earlier this year. The protocol seeks to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases released as pollution into the air.72. The text mainly talks about _________.A. the spread of malaria B. effects of human activities on climateC. a ten-day conference in Montreal D. health effects caused by climate change73. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the text?A. Some diseases spread faster in hot weather.B. Human activities contribute to the climate change.C. Poor countries suffer least from the effects of higher temperatures.D. Even a slight change in temperature may affect the spread of some diseases.74. The underlined word “intensify” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.A. strengthen B. prevent C. lessen D. reflect75. According to the text, the Kyoto Protocol aims at __________.A. limiting the release of greenhouse gases B. preventing the spread of malaria and dengue feverC. studying how climate change affect human healthD. organizing representatives to meet regularly in Montreal
