11．Back those photos up
The images were striking．Homes on the East Coast were washed away by Superstorm Sandy．People were in tears，picking up faded photographs，among their only remaining possessions．
If that doesn't move you to get serious about safekeeping your lifetime of memories，what will？The digital age offers tools never imaginable before-including one-click access to a lifetime of family photos．
Here is a brochure on how to back up （存） your photos and save them online，where they can live forever and be accessible in good times and bad．
Scanning
The first step for those old photos is to scan them and save them to a digital format．Most printers come with scanners these days，so that's an easy but extremely time-consuming step．
Storing the photos
With your scans in place，import the photos into your computer，and back them up．
You could make multiple copies of the disks and spread them to loved ones．Or you could choose external（外接的） hard drives or USB thumb drive，and add your photo and video collection from your computer．
Online backup
If you need lots of space，look at a pure online backup service，Caronite．
Caronite backs up 300million files daily．Once you sign up，it starts to pick up everything you have on your hard drive．But photo collection on your computer's main hard drive charges for﹩59a year．
Cloud Storage
For folks who don't need automatic backup，but instead want to take a more active approach，Dropbox，Google Drive and Microsoft's SkyDrive let you store files online by yourself，share and instantly access them．All offer free options-2GB of free storage for Dropbox，5GB for Google and 7GB for SkyDrive．But if you want more，you need to pay．
Bottom Line
The hard drive or flash drive is the cheapest and easiest．But drives can fail．Online services are more expensive，but more secure．With more of us switching back and forth between our computers，such services are the best way to get access to our data from wherever we are．

59．Why does the author mention Superstorm Sandy？B
A．To tell the background of the scanning photos．
B．To attract the readers'interest in the backups．
C．To describe a severe natural disaster．
D．To win the readers'sympathy．
60．What can we know from the passage？B
A．Scanning photos takes little time but costs a lot．
B．Caronite charges for backing up photos from hard drive．
C．Google Drive offers unlimited free photo storage on line．
D．The hard drive or flash drive is the cheapest and safest．
61．Which of the following allows storing files automatically？A
A．Caronite．B．Dropbox．
C．SkyDrive．D．Flash drive．
62．The main purpose of the passage is toB．
A．tell real stories about storage services
B．introduce some of the storage services
C．describe the functions of storage services
D．a(chǎn)rgue about the advantage of storage services．

7．Very mobile ears help many animals direct their attention to the rustle of a possible attacker．Researchers say these mobile ears have become a useful communication tool．Their studies of animal behaviour build up a picture of how communication and social skills developed．
"We're interested in how they communicate，"said lead researcher Jennifer Wathan．"And being sensitive to what another individual is thinking is a fundamental skill from which other more complex skills develop．"
Ms Wathan and her colleague Prof Karen McComb set up a behavioural experiment where 72individual horses had to use visual cues from another horse in order to choose where to feed．They led each horse to a point where it had to select one of two buckets．On a wall behind this decision-making spot was a life-sized photograph of a horse's head facing either to left or right．In some of the trials，the horses'ears or eyes were covered．
If the ears and eyes of the horse in the picture were visible，the horses being tested would choose the bucket towards which its gaze-and its ears-were directed．If the horse in the picture had either its eyes or its ears covered，the horse being tested would just choose a feed bucket at random．
Like many mammals that are hunted by predators（捕食者），horses can rotate（旋轉(zhuǎn)）their ears through almost 180degrees-but Ms Wathan said that in our"human-centric"view of the world，we had overlooked the importance of these very mobile ears in animal communication．
"It seems there's something in the visual cues-from both the eyes and the ears-that are really important，"she told BBC News．"Horses have quite rich social lives and relationships with other horses，so they're a good species to look at this in．"And the more we look at communication across different species，the more we can consider what might have promoted the evolution of sophisticated communication and social skills．"

24．Why does a horse rotate its ears？C
A．To tell each other where they can go for the buckets．
B．To be curious about what the other horse is thinking．
C．To warn the other horse when an attacker is coming closer．
D．To express its hope to build up social relations with others．
25．Why did the researchers use the life-sized photograph of a horse in the experiment？D
A．To help develop horses'complex skills．
B．To lead other horses to feed themselves．
C．To make the horses in the experiment excited．
D．To provide clues for the horses in the experiment．
26．Why are ears and eyes important to horses？C
A．They can find the feeding buckets more easily with ears and eyes．
B．With ears and eyes they can escape from dangers more easily．
C．With ears and eyes they can communicate with other horses．
D．Horses have quite rich social lives with ears and eyes．
27．What can be the best title of the passage？A
A．Rotary Ears Serve as Communication Tools．
B．Horses Have More Social Skills than Other Species．
C．Experiments with Horses'Ears．
D．Fundamental Skills of Horses．

6．The Toyota Prius hybrids adapted by Google's engineers have covered 300，000 miles on the roads of California without a human at the wheel，but with only one accident by a human-controlled car．It's clear that driverless cars are much safer than human-controlled ones．40，000 people are killed every year in road accidents in the US，many of which are caused by human error．Besides，driverless vehicles could make better use of the road and reduce the size of car parks，too．
With technology，a machine can perform a complex task without human involvement This means our thought about what machines can and cannot do needs updating urgently．
However，ignore the beautiful words and think about what Google has done．This isn't just about care．Economists are increasingly puzzled by the fact that the rate of job-creation is much lower than expected and the length of time for which people are unemployed has rocketed to 40 weeks twice as long as that during any previous postwar recovery．Economic theory says that when companies begin to grow or become profitable again，they buy equipment and hire workers．But that isn't happening．Companies are still buying equipment，but they're not employing workers．
So where did the jobs go？Andrew McAfee explains his view in his new book Race Against the Machine．"Advances in self-driving car by Google represent the next wave of job-eliminating technology．Many skills （such as driving） may eventually become worthless，at least in the job market．"
And as for those thinking that driverless cars might appeal to most motorists，there is the uncomfortable fact that the car has peaked．We are driving less year on year．Traffic jams reduce the romance from driving．And young people no longer have the desire to own cars like they used to．
71．According to the first paragraph，driverless vehicles areD
A．faster                           B．lighter        
C．smaller                          D．safer
72．The underlined word"updating"in the second paragraph means"B"．
A．a(chǎn)bandoning                       B．renewing           
C．starting                         D．returning
73．The third paragraph suggests thatA
A．technology doesn't ease the pressure on employment
B．companies gain profit by employing more workers
C．it takes people less time to find a job than before
D．people will see another economic recovery in future
74．What will be the influence of driverless cars according to Andrew McAfee？D
A．The economic recovery is to be sped up．
B．Many companies may make higher profits．
C．Traditional skills will be improved．
D．More people may lose their jobs．
75．The last paragraph tells us that the car industryA．
A．will be given up by young people
B．is lo blame for traffic jams
C．is reaching the highest point
D．will expand in all directions．

3．SINCE it's home to a famous university，a lot of people think Oxford，an English city west of London，is very wealthy．In fact，that's not quite the case．Many neighborhoods in and around Oxford are quite poor Children in these areas often don't have the best opportunities  in life．Some of them never even get to go 0n holiday．
    While a student at university，I ran a charity called Vacproj   （short for"Vacation Project"）that helped such children go on holiday．Over a year，we raised money  by writing letters to businesses and standing in the street with buckets（桶），We managed to pay for 36 children to go on a holiday．They were aged from about 6 to 11 years old．Altogether，this cost more than 25，000 pounds  （232，100yuan）．
These holidays took place every summer a part of England called Sussex．Around 20 students from my university volunteered to help．Every day，we went on a different trip：one day it was ice-skating，another time we went to the zoo．One day，went on a trip to a castle．We told them old legends（傳說） of the ghosts who lived there and all the kings and queens who had passed through，All these trips required a lot of preparations．For example，on a climbing trip we had to teach the kids about safety and how to use  ropes．
    The holiday was by far the most tiring experience of my life．Every day，I had to wake up at 6 am，and  I didn't get to  bed until l am．The children never，ever ran out  of energy，and we were responsible for all of  them Some of the kids were very naughty； others refused to eat  certain kinds of  food．There were always problems to deal with．We had to be their parents for the week，and care for them as parents would．
Though the trip may have been very tiring，it was also the best I've ever been on．At every new tourist site，the kids eyes lit up with excitement．They were very funny，and weren't afraid of making fun of us． We left the holiday with a new perspectiveon life； children may be the most tiring people in the world，but they're also the most interesting．
46．According to the article，the purpose of Vacproj  is toB．
    A．promote tourism in the city of Oxford    B．help poor children go on holiday

20．Every student can learn rope jumping．
You can jump alone or with your classmate．You can also help turn a long rope for many others to jump over，one at a time．If you jump alone，you will need a short rope and it will be just enough for your height．Try ropes of different lengths until you find a right one for your size．
A rope should be turned slowly．It must also be turned high enough to let you jump freely and safely．Turning the rope freely and safely needs careful timing．In rope jumping，timing means turning the rope slowly enough for you to jump over at the right time without its striking your feet．
When you jump rope，your heart beats faster and your face has a healthy color．But if you jump too many times at first，you will get fired．You must learn when to stop for a rest before you jump again，If you practice，you can increase the number of times without resting．

1．You 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（附著）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．
55．The purpose of the first paragraph is toA．
A．introduce a topic               
B．make a comparison
C．offer an evidence               
D．describe a daily scene

A．show our dissatisfaction to negative people
