Semi-retired advertising agency owner Stephen Thomas，58，has been investing on and off for the past 30 years．He made money in the dotcom boom but got his fingers burned when the bubble burst in March 2000．When he got access to his pension he decided to start investing again，this time with the help of his son Sam．
Now the two meet up most afternoons at Stephen’s home in Sandbach，Cheshire to talk about investments．The day starts at 7 am when Sam looks at company announcements online．These regulatory announcements can include a firm’s accounts，general updates or news of mergers(合开)or acquisitions．Sam flags companies that he thinks look interesting to his dad who then does some more research．
Each has an ISA(Individual Savings Account)with AJ Bell，which they use to buy individual stocks and shares．It is a risky way to invest but the two like doing their own research on companies and Stephen makes an effort to go to investor presentations and try to meet the CEOs and directors of the firms they invest in and to speak to other investors in the companies．
They have invested in oil companies and pet care businesses，to name just a few．But while the investments of the two men are similar，they do have different approaches．While Sam likes to hold shares for the long term as he is saving money for his future retirement，Stephen likes to buy with any profits he makes．
Sam says，“We do not argue because we have separate ISAs．It means finally we make our own decisions about which shares to invest in．The only time we might have a disagreement is when we both want to use the login for the news service at the same time．”

A. He gave away all his pensions.

Today we talk about a time when half the world is waking from the dark，cold winter months．Spring! We often describe “spring”as a time of rebirth，renewal and awakening．Many trees are blossoming and early flowers are pushing through the earth. Things are coming to life!
But the word“spring”is not just a season．It is also a verb that means something going on or coming out quickly．When you put“spring”and“life”together，you will get“spring to life”．This expression means something suddenly becomes very active or perhaps seems more alive! You may“spring to life”after hearing that a distant friend will be visiting you．Or maybe your favorite soccer team finally“sprang to life”in the second half，played well and won the match．
Now，besides being a season and a verb，the noun“spring”refers to a metal coil(线圈)that is wound tightly．When the coil unwinds，it often jumps．So，we often say a person“has a spring in his step”if he is lively and active．He might even appear to jump，or bounce a little when he walks．
There is another way we use“spring”as a description．In the case of a“spring chicken”．“spring”means young．However，“spring chicken”is also an informal，humorous way to refer to someone who isn’t young at a11．So，we use this expression in the negative form，as in“no spring chicken”．For example，let’s say you know an 85-year-old man who decides to run a marathon，even though he has never exercised before．You could say，“That’s amazing! After all，he’s no spring chicken．”
But be careful when using this expression．It could be a little disrespectful．Let’s say your boss shows you a picture of his wife，and you say，“Wow，she’s no spring chicken．”That response would be disrespectful and a bad career move．
28. What does“spring”mean in the expression“spring to life”?
高三上学期阶段性考试（二） 英语试题第 16 页 共 16 页
A．The season after winter.
B．A tightly wound metal coil.
C．To occur or appear suddenly.
D．Being young and healthy.
29. How does someone feel when he“has a spring in his step”?
A．Angry． B．Surprised．
C．Excited． D．Frightened．
30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Women may feel offended when described as“no spring chicken”.
B．Being young is a great advantage in career development.
C．Using“spring-related”expressions in conversations seems impolite.
D．Expressions with the word“spring”are always disrespectful to others.
31. What is the passage mainly about?
A．The origin of the word“spring”.
B．Some characteristics of the season“spring”.
C．The meaning of the season“spring”.
D．Some expressions with the word“spring”.
D
You’ll probably never go to Mars or sing on the stage with the Rolling Stones．But if virtual reality(VR)ever lives up to its promise，you might be able to do all these things—and many more—without even leaving your home．Unlike real reality，virtual reality means simulating(模仿)bits of our world．Apart from games and entertainment，it’s long been used for training airline pilots and surgeons and for helping scientists to figure out complex problems such as the structure of protein molecules(分子)．Then how does it work?
Close your eyes and think of virtual reality and you probably picture something like this：a man wearing a wrap-around headset and data gloves wired into a powerful workstation or supercomputer．What distinguishes VR from an ordinary computer experience is the nature of the input and output．Where an ordinary computer uses things like a keyboard，a mouse，or speech recognition for input，VR uses sensors that detect how your body is moving．And where a PC displays output on a screen，VR uses two screens(one for each eye)，surround—sound speakers，and maybe some forms of touch and body feedback as well．
VR has been routinely used by scientists，doctors，dentists，engineers，architects，archaeologists，and the military for about the last 30 years．Difficult and dangerous jobs are hard to train for．How can you safely practice taking a trip to space，making a
高三上学期阶段性考试（二） 英语试题第 16 页 共 16 页
parachute jump，or carrying out brain surgery? All these things are obvious candidates for virtual reality applications．
Like any technology，virtual reality has both good and bad points．Critics always raise the risk that people may be addicted to alternative reality to the point of ignoring their real—world lives—but that criticism has been leveled on everything from radio and TV to computer games and the Internet．Like many technologies，VR takes little or nothing away from the real world：you don’t have to use it if you don’t want to.
32．What equipment do we probably need for virtual reality?
A．A keyboard，a headset and a supercomputer．
B．A headset，data gloves and a supercomputer．
C．A keyboard，a mouse and speech recognition．
D．A headset，data gloves and speech recognition．
33．Paragraph 3 is mainly about___________．
A．the history of virtual reality
B．the principles of virtual reality
C．the applications of virtual reality
D．the influences of virtual reality
34．According to the passage，virtual reality means_______．
A．imagining beautiful things in our mind
B．creating something that doesn’t exist
C．cloning something that has died out
D．experiencing things that don’t really exist
35．What is the writer’s attitude towards VR?
A．Appreciative． B．Cautious．
C．Skeptical． D．Indifferent．

These days when someone says a computer has a bug(小虫子)in it，usually they mean that there’s a problem with one of its programs．Maybe your computer crashed when you were in the middle of a game. 36
But back in the early days of computers，a woman named Grace Hopper was part of the team that discovered the very first computer bug．
37 She had been invited to help program a new computer，the job of which was to
高三上学期阶段性考试（二） 英语试题第 16 页 共 16 页
quickly deal with the math problems ships used to find their way． 38 Then it translated the patterns of holes into the math problems it was supposed to solve．
One afternoon in 1947 Hopper and her team were running a program．But the computer wasn’t giving them the right result. 39 They finally ended up taking the computer apart，looking for problems．What did they find? It was a dead moth(飞蛾)! The moth was blocking some of the holes in the paper—no wonder the computer didn't know what to do．
Hopper knew that the term“bug”had been used before when there were problems with machines．But this was the first time a computer had ever had a bug．40 Some people think Hopper was the first person to use the word“debug”to mean “get rid of the problems in a computer”．
A. What could be wrong?
B. Hopper was a hardworking scientist．
C. Or you got an error message when you tried to go to a website．
D. Hopper was a mathematician．
E. The computer worked by reading instructions from a long piece of paper with holes in it．
F. Who had operated the computer?
G. She thought it was funny that it was a real one．

Like all big cities，Paris has a traffic problem：lots of cars，traffic jams and pollution from exhaust fumes(废气)．So since 2007，the city 61 (begin)a plan to improve the situation．
Under the Velib scheme(公共自行车计划)，people can take a bicycle，use it as long as they want，and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station．The first half-hour is free， but if you don’t return it after 30 minutes，you have to pay．It's only € 1 a day or € 29 a year．The bicycles are as heavy as 25 kilograms，and they’re all grey and have 62 (basket)．There’re a large number of them in the city，and the bicycle stations are more than the subway stations!
Paris isn’t the first city 63 (operate)a scheme like this．Not everybody thinks it’s a great idea．One Parisian(巴黎人)said．“These bicycles are only suitable 64 short journeys． 65 people want to travel across the city，they won’t use a bicycle—they’ll still use their cars．”
A city spokesman said．“The bicycle scheme won’t solve all our traffic problems，but it might work in 66 (reduce) air pollution．Traffic，together with factory fumes， 67 (be) a big problem．Everyone knows about global warming and dramatic climate changes—we know this is partly because rainforests are 68 (gradual)disappearing．And it’s also because there’s so much pollution．There aren’t any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities，but the bicycles might help people lead a healthier life． 69 we do something now，there’ll be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise，so the problems in our environment will get even 70 (bad)．”

Dear Tony,
I’m sorry to learn that you have been suffering headaches, which prevents you from performing well in your work. Worse still, you haven’t got better after taking medicine. Therefore I suggest you try Chinese medicine.
From my perspective, Chinese medicine is superior to western medicine in a sense. Producing fewer side effects is typical of Chinese medicine. If time permits, patients can

recover completely. In addition, Chinese medicine is less expensive, so you don’t need to worry about your budget. I believe the treatment appeals greatly to you.
Hope you will recover soon. If there is anything you need me to do, don’t hesitate to inform me.
Yours,
Li Hua

W: Mr. Cooper! I tried to make my own colors based on what you taught us in class yesterday. It wasn’t easy, though.
W: Can you see it here? I wanted to make purple, but I didn’t use quite enough blue. It turned out just kind of gray and boring.
M: Well, I think it turned out great anyway! This is part of the fun of painting — discovering what you can do with a little imagination, taking some risks, and trying to do new things.
W: Thanks for the encouragement.
M: Sometimes the most beautiful things result from artistic accidents. And I’d say the same is true of almost all interesting things.

W: Jeremy, your mom just called. Her flight was canceled. They’re putting her on another plane, but not until the morning. It looks like you’re stuck with us for one more night.

W: Well, that sounds very creative! Where’s your sister?
M: She’s still doing her homework. I think she’s almost done, though. Where is Uncle Buck?
W: Oh, he went out to pick up some Chinese takeout for dinner. I hope that’s OK with you.

M: Dr. Cardano, I woke up in the middle of the night with a terrible pain in my right foot.
W: Did you cut yourself or knock it against something?
M: No. It just started hurting all of a sudden.
W: Can you describe the pain for me? Is it a sharp pain that comes and goes? Or is it a constant, dull pain that doesn’t really ever go away?
M: I suppose it’s more like the first one. But it’s definitely difficult to walk, so it’s not really going away, either.
W: Let me see those feet, Bobby.
M: Do you want me to take off both socks?
W: Yes, I’d like to compare your right and left foot. Ah, the right foot is pretty red, and it looks bigger than the left one. It also feels warmer.
M: What does it mean, doctor?
W: Well, I don’t know for sure. It could be one of a couple of things. I’m going to send you up to the lab to get some blood tests. Check in to the lab on the third floor. I’m sending them some instructions. Come back down here as soon as it’s finished.
M: OK. I need to use the restroom first. Can you tell me where that is?
W: Go downstairs to the first floor. It’s right next to the elevators.
M: Thanks.

The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is an amusement park with rides and games located right on the edge of the Pacific Ocean. Santa Cruz has been known as a university town and a surfing community since at least 1960. Founded in 1907, it was the first theme park of its kind in California. The most famous ride is called the Giant Dipper, a fast ride made of wood that climbs to 70 feet in the air. Many newer rides have bright lights and modern sound effects, but ever since it was finished in 1924, the Giant Dipper has been the symbol of the park. Other popular attractions include a castle, water rides, and little cars that kids can drive on a special electric track. There is also a mini golf course, sports games, and a huge video game area that looks like a palace in the sky. Hot dogs, hamburgers, ice cream, and cakes of all shapes and sizes give the boardwalk a special feel all year round. Although the park is free to enter, the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk does charge for rides and nearby parking.
