The first "mobile phone sidewalk in China" has appeared at a scenic spot in Chongqing. The sidewalk—3 meters wide and 50 meters long—was built in the Yangrenjie Scenic Spot. It separates pedestrians along two pathways. One is for cell phone users to walk on ; the other is for those without cell phones.
A warning sign shows: Cell phones walk in this lane at your own risk. "In my mind, these sidewalks help a lot in minimizing security risks for mobile phone addicts," said Wang Li, a local resident who doesn't use a mobile phone often. Cases of mobile phone users being injured while using their phones and ignoring their surroundings have been reported by the media. Tourists who were attracted to the sidewalk took photos of it. But many did not comply with the regulation, and someone even parked a car on the sidewalk.
Li Zhijiang, a 20-year-old college student from Guizhou, regarded the sidewalk as great progress. "I knew there were such sidewalks in Washington's central business district, which are very necessary for the addicts, especially in the busy streets," Li said. Anthony Edwards, a 28-year-old actor from England, was enthusiastic, saying it was an improvement over his home country. However, his Chinese colleague, Xing Xing, thought the sidewalk was "pointless" , but added a grudging(勉强的)acknowledgement: "Setting up special sidewalks could be a solution to reducing security problems in particular situations. But this kind of sidewalk is not a fundamental solution and could be an indulgence(嗜好)for mobile phone addicts in the long run in my mind and this could even lead to more problems in the future."
With the increasing popularity of smartphones, more young people in China are glued to them, a phenomenon that worries many experts. It is estimated that the number of smartphone users in China will be more than 500 million this year.
24. What is the initial purpose of the mobile phone sidewalk?
A. To avoid being crowded. B. To reduce the security risks.
C. To regulate the people's behavior. D. To make it convenient to walk in the street.
25. What can be used to replace the underlined phrase "comply with” in paragraph 2?
A. Ignore. B. Consider.
C. Explain. D. Observe.
26. What is the third paragraph mainly talking about?
A. The mixed reactions to the mobile phone sidewalk.
B. The necessity of building the mobile phone sidewalk.
C. The problems of the mobile phone sidewalk in the future.
D. The safety measures to protect the mobile phone sidewalk.
27. What do many experts worry about?
A. The increasing popularity of smartphones.
B. Cars being parked on the mobile phone sidewalk.
C. More young people being addicted to cell phones.
D. The mobile phone sidewalk being ruined in the future.
C
A human can't easily enter another species' social group to examine and influence what makes the animals tick. But the right robot can open up a clever way in.
Scientists have developed a robotic "fish" called SoFi in the hope of getting closer to marine life than ever before. The fish, which was developed by researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, can independently swim alongside real fish in the ocean. Fittingly, the robot has a fisheye lens(鱼眼镜头)on board that can take photos and videos of the marine it sees. Robert Katzschmann, lead author of the study, said: "We are all in an aroused state at the thought of the possibility of being able to use a system like this to get closer to marine life than humans can get on their own."
While most underwater robots are tied to boats, SoFi has a much simpler and lightweight system that's
found in smartphones. To swim, the motor causes water to flow into two balloon-like chamber in the fish's tail. As one chamber (室)expands, it bends to one side, and then when the motors push water to the other channel, that one bends in the other direction. Together, these actions create a side — to — side motion, just like a real fish. The researchers hope that these realistic movements will help to ensure the robot is as safe in its environment as possible.
Daniela Rus, who also worked on the study, said: "The robot is able to closely observe marine life and appears not to be disturbing to real fish. '' So far the robot has been tested in the Rainbow Reef in Fiji, where it swims at depths of more than 50 feet for 40 minutes.
28. Why have scientists developed the robotic fish?
A. To get close to observe marine life. B. To prove the progress in robot technology.
C. To make the field of marine life interesting. D. To test the intelligence of fishes in the ocean.
29. How did Robert Katzschmann feel about their study of SoFi?
A. Curious. B. Excited.
C. Nervous. D. Worried.
30. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?
A. Add more information to their study. B. Convey the researchers5 satisfaction.
C. Compare different underwater robots. D. Explain how the robotic fish works safely.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Robotic "Fish" that Can Record Marine Life in Detail
B. MIT's Researchers who Have Developed Robotic Fish
C. Underwater robots that Influence Species in the Ocean
D. Rainbow Reef where the Robotic Fish Has Been Tested

Earth Hour is the world's biggest event, usually held annually on the last Saturday evening in March. It was inspired by a movement in Sydney, Australia, on March 31 , 2007, when more than 2. 2 million Sydney citizens and more than 2100 business switched off lights and electrical appliances for an hour to support controlling the leading cause of global warming: coal-fired electricity.
Just one year later, in 2008, Earth Hour became a global movement, with more than 50 million people in 35 countries taking part. Global landmarks such as New York's Empire State Building, Egypt's pyramids, London's Big Ben, Sydney's Opera House, the Eiffel Tower and Shanghai Tower stood as silent, darkened symbols of hope and sustainability (可持续发展).The 13th edition of Earth Hour, organized by green group World Wide Fund for Nature, or WWF, saw millions of people across 180 countries turn off their lights at 8 : 30 p. m. to highlight energy use and the need for conservation. Last year, Earth Hour was observed in more than 7 ,000 towns and cities in 187 countries.
In 2011 , Earth Hour added something new to the annual event, urging people to “go beyond the hour" by committing to at least one environmental action they could continue all year long to help to make the world a better place. The goal, of course, is to inspire people to reduce their energy consumption every day,
not by sitting in the dark for an hour each night, but by taking simple steps that can have a great effect.
WWF -Australia CEO Dermot O’Gorman said, “While the lights — off event is a symbolic gesture, Earth Hour has led successful campaigns over the past decade to ban plastics in the Galapagos Islands and plant 17 million trees in Kazakhstan."
32. What do we know about Earth Hour?
A. It takes places on the last day of March.
B. It aims to control the coal-fired electricity.
C. It helps solve the problem of climate change.
D. It inspires people to reduce energy consumption.
33. How did the author describe the development of Earth Hour?
A. By listing numbers. B. By analyzing causes.
C. By using famous sayings. D. By making comparisons.
34. What can we infer from the third paragraph?
A. It was the first time that Earth Hour event had been held in 2011.
B. People are called on to do more besides switching off the electricity.
C. Earth Hour inspires people to turn off their lights for more than an hour.
D. No energy will be consumed every day by sitting in the dark for an hour.
35. What's Dermot O'Gorman's attitude towards Earth Hour event?
A. Skeptical. B. Concerned.
C. Supportive. D. Uninterested.

Success is so much more than just money or fame. 36 This allows you to be true to who you really are. If you want to create a life that makes you feel passionate to be alive, what do you need to focus on?
37 If you don't believe in yourself, how do you expect other people to? If you don't believe that you can have the life you desire, it is going to be very difficult to create a successful life. When you believe in yourself, it fuels your creativity, your ambitions and your motivation to do things.
Another way is to know your intention. If your intention is simply rooted in money and fame, chances are that you are never going to truly feel successful. 38 And it is not enough to maintain a long-term feeling of fulfillment and happiness. For a truly successful life, your intention has to be rooted in your purpose, in your passions and in what feels good to you. When your intention is to serve your purpose and express your talents, you will feel true success and satisfaction.
Realize you are already successful. 39 The more you can welcome that into your life, the more you will start to feel it. Being grateful for the tiniest successes in life will also help you to create more and more success. This is a powerful mindset shift. It will help you to be with your ambitions and dreams. 40
A. Have faith in yourself.
B. Success is always after the rain and wind.
C. Success is all around you and flows through you.
D. Once you realize this, there is no slopping what you can do.
E. Success is about being able to live a happy and satisfactory life.
F. Thanking for the biggest failure will help you achieve greater success.
G. The feeling of success that is given through money and fame is only temporary.
