【題目】On Jan 15th, 2015, Justin Valdez, a college student, was shot in a subway station in San Francisco. The surveillance video(監(jiān)控錄像) showed that before Justin was killed, the killer pulled out his gun several times, and even wiped his nose with it. However, nobody noticed the killer. The surrounding passengers all focused on their cell phones.

We may see the same scene everywhere in our life: in subway stations, restaurants, elevators and so on, people are watching their cell phones. From a family reunion to a date with a friend, people couldn’t stop checking their twitter and facebook on the cell phones, ignoring the persons in front completely. Phubbing(低頭癥) not only involves young people, but also the elderly and kids.

“Phubbing” is a new term which comes from the words “phone’’ and “snub(冷落)”. It describes the habit of snubbing someone in favor of a cell phone. The word “phubbing” was included in the Australian National Dictionary in 2012. Obviously, the indifference(冷漠) and rudeness of the information age are spreading globally. A Stop Phubbing campaign website has been set up. You can find the slogan of the website as follows: “stop twittering, stop posting photos…enjoy your food, enjoy the music and respect others.”

Phubbing appears harmless. However, it does influence our life. Jimmy, an epicure(美食家), wrote in his blog: “I can no longer focus on what I am eating since I started twittering. My skill of food photography has improved very fast, while my interest in food drops as a result.”

Let us put down our cell phones and re-enjoy the real taste of our food and the warmth of interpersonal communication.

【1】The case of Justin Valdez is given in the first paragraph to show

A. gun violence happens easily in the US

B. phubbing may lead to terrible disasters

C. the killer didn’t mean to kill him

D. the killer had made a careful plan

【2】Jimmy’s words suggest that

A. phubbing is actually harmless

B. phubbing stops people enjoying their life

C. phubbing affects people’s eating habits the most

D. phubbing helps people improve their photographic skills

【3】What is the text mainly about?

A. How the word “phubbing” came into being.

B. The popular campaign of stop phubbing.

C. The meaning of the word “phubbing”.

D. The great harm of phubbing.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】B

【3】D

【解析】

試題分析： 本文通過講述因為專心于看手機而沒有注意到周圍潛在的危險導致被槍殺的示例告訴人們，低頭族們應該放下手機享受生活。

【1】B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段中的“The surveillance video(監(jiān)控錄像) showed that before Justin was killed, the killer pulled out his gun several times, and even wiped his nose with it. However, nobody noticed the killer. The surrounding passengers all focused on their cell phones”，可知監(jiān)控錄像顯示，就在賈斯汀被殺之前，兇手曾數(shù)次拿出手槍，甚至還用它蹭了鼻子�？墒�，沒有人注意到這個兇手。因為周圍的乘客都把注意力集中在自己的手機上了。故選B。

【2】B推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Let us put down our cell phones and re-enjoy the real taste of our food and the warmth of interpersonal communication”，可知吉米建議我們，放下手機重新體驗食物的美味，并感受交流的溫馨時刻。選B。

【3】D 主旨大意題。第一段講到了由于乘客們只是低頭看手機，造成一場本該避免的悲劇發(fā)生；下文又提到低頭癥者很冷漠，倡議大家抵制低頭癥。因此本文主要講述了低頭癥的危害。選D。

【題目】In a movie, a woman reads a storybook to her friend’s daughter. As they approach the last page, she reads, “...and Cinderella and the prince lived happily together ever after.” She closes the book and looks at the young girl, adding, “You know, things don’t always happen like this in real life. I just think you should know that now.”

We were all raised on fairy tales with glass slippers, brave princes and magic! It didn’t take too long to realize that stories like that aren’t necessarily true. In the life, you learned that glass slippers are really uncomfortable, no prince is perfect and magic doesn’t always work.

So what do you do when the way you planned things is not the way they turned out?

Know that parts of your fairy tale have already been written, and sadly, there’s not a whole lot you can do about those first few chapters.You didn’t get the best start.Your trust was unexpectedly betrayed. You didn’t get the job. Whatever falls and failures that happened in your past are just that in your past. There’s still more to the story.

While your life has a lot of contributors(投稿者), you are the editor-in-chief. You take what’s there and create the masterpiece. All the good pages and the bad can come together to make a beautiful adventure.

When you find yourself wishing your life was more like the fairy tales, remember that in some ways it already is. There will be dragons, bad witches, great romances, winding roads and friends to help you along the way. So, keep rewriting your story every day that you’re alive. Whether it’s a comedy, tragedy or a little of both, the pen is in your hand. How it all ends is up to you.

【1】What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A. To help the readers to live a good life.

B. To encourage the readers to write their own stories.

C. To advise parents to tell the fairy tale to their kids.

D. To describe the difficulties in today’s education.

【2】Which of the following may NOT often appear in the fairy tale?

A. Glass slipper. B. Winding roads.

C. Sad ending. D. Bad witches.

【3】According to the fires paragraph, we know the woman is ________.

A. wise B. cruel C. brave D. stupid

【4】Why does the author mention the question in Paragraph 3?

A. To express the doubt to life

B. To compare different ideas.

C. To introduce a point for discussion.

D. To describe the conditions in life.

【題目】閱讀下面的文章，從每題后面所給的四個選項中選出正確的一項。

Telemedicine is the name for when doctors give advice to patients by telephone or the Internet, or when health care providers in rural areas connect with specialists in big cities.

Telemedicine has existed for a long time, but the rise of smart phones, tablets and webcam-equipped computers is raising telemedicine to new levels. Some health care systems in the United States now offer Virtual Urgent Care, patients see a doctor by video chat without having to leave home.

Diana Rae is a nurse educator in the western state of Washington. She recently showed how Virtual Urgent Care works. She used an iPad tablet and skype — the video chat service.

Doctor Green has the patient describe her symptoms, then the doctor performs a physical exam by demonstrating what he wants her to do. Doctor Green decides that the problem is a silence infection. For medicine, he prescribes an antibiotic. He says about 3 out of 4 patients have health problems that can be treated like this —through Virtual Urgent Care, that means a video chat could replace a visit to the doctor's office.

The Franciscan Health System is based in Tacoma, Washington. Franciscan charges $35 for this kind of virtual house call, that is much less than the cost of going to an emergency room, a doctor's office or an urgent care clinic.

After trying the video conference, Diana Rae says, “I would've paid twice that for the convenience of getting taken care of without having to sit in a waiting room, wait, and get exposed to everyone else's germs.”

Franciscan has a deal with a company called Carena to add virtual urgent care by Skype or phone. Carena is one of several companies doing this kind of work around the country. But a company official says state rules have not kept progress with developments in telemedicine. The workers who provide virtual urgent care must be separately licensed in each state where the company does business. For now, that means Carena doctors can treat patients in Washington state and California for example, but not in neighboring Oregon or Idaho.

【1】The second paragraph is mainly used to show ________.

A. why telemedicine becomes popular

B. the advantages of telemedicine

C. many factors contribute to telemedicine

D. what telemedicine is

【2】Doctor Green decides that the problem is a silence infection ________.

A. through his observation of the patient

B. through a careful examination

C. by knowing what he wants her to do

D. by prescribing an antibiotic

【3】The major health problems, in Doctor Green’s opinion, ________.

A. are tough to deal with

B. can be treated through a video chat

C. should result from work pressure

D. nearly cost little to recover

【4】By mentioning what Diana Rae says, the author wants to show ________.

A. he finds it convenient to see a doctor by using a video chat

B. he sings high praise for this kind of treatment form

C. he must be tired of waiting too long in the hospital

D. it should be very unhealthy while staying in hospital

Dear Mr. President,

I am writing to express my concern about the sports facilities in campus. I have noticed that our school has very limited resources in term of students’ opportunities to do sports.

It is known to all what sports are very important to young people. If they have an access to good sports facilities, young people can adopt a healthy lifestyle and become more confident.

I suggest build a new playground, where should be designed for students with different interests. They should have a different section for each activity and available to students all year round. I believe so a sports area will meet our sporting needs.

Thanks for your reading.

Yours faithfully,

Li Ming

【題目】 Security—for the information on your smartphone, as well as for the phone itself---is a hot topic these days. The truth is that you’re packing a lot of sensitive information on your phone, and you should keep it safe.

When it comes to physical security, iPhone users would do well to download Find My iPhone, a free app from Apple that allows you to visit a website and see your (lost, stolen or misplaced) phone on the map. You can then sound an alarm, send a message that will pop up on its screen, lock the phone or erase all your data.

Android does not have an exact equivalent(等價物), but there are plenty of alternatives. A free app called Lookout offers the find-my-phone feature. The paid version allows you to wipe the data from your phone remotely.

Then there is your coffee shop’s WiFi network. Anyone with minimal technical expert skill can snoop on(窺視) people using shared wireless networks, harvesting passwords and other personal data. Lookout’s apps will caution you when you’ve logged on to an insecure network, but cannot protect you once you’re there.

In order to protect yourself on such networks, you can use a virtual private network, or V.P.N. This turns all your activity into nonsense to anyone trying to read along with you from across the Starbucks. It also keeps websites from tracking you and, if you’re traveling, allows you to get access to sites that may be blocked in other countries.

If you have an iPhone, the simplest V.P.N. app is probably Hotspot Shield, whose distinguishing feature is said to be that it automatically kicks in each time you start browsing (瀏覽), as opposed to other V.P.N. apps that require you to start them up manually(手動). This matters, because even if you decide you want a V.P.N. app, you want to spend approximately zero time thinking about it. For the most part, that was true of Hotspot Shield, though occasionally it took a while to connect or temporarily lost connection without warning. I found myself having to turn the app on and off sometimes, which involved setting my phone constantly.

If even reading about the setting on your phone drives you crazy, then it is probably best to stay away from a V.P.N. app. But if you’re the type who can’t resist checking your bank balance from your comer bar, the hassle (麻煩) may be preferable to the risk.

【1】 Which of the following can warn you against the insecure network?

A. Android B. V.P.N.

C. Lookout D. Find My iPhone

【2】By using V.P.N., users can ________.

A. find their lost phone on the Internet

B. remove all the data form the phone remotely

C. check the bank balance now and then

D. save their browsing from being tracked

【3】The underlined word “that” in Para.6 refers to the fact that _________.

A. a V.P.N. app kicks in automatically

B. the users starts V.P.N. apps manually

C. the app take a while to connect

D. users spend no time thinking about it
