11.Your mobile is now much more than just a communication device-more like a remote control for your life.You still call it a"mobile"from habit,but it is an organizer,entertainment device,payment device and security(安全) center,all developed and manufactured by engineers.
What we do need is better mobiles and more intelligence.Because it knows your travel timetable it can check for problems on the roads or with the trains,giving you the best route into work.It can control your home,reprogramming the central heating if you need to get up earlier and keeping an eye on your home by connecting your mobile with the home security system.It is your payment system-you can pay for tickets for journeys or buy items in shops by placing the phone near a sensor(感應(yīng)器).With an understanding of location,the mobile can also provide directions,or even tell you if your friends or family are nearby.
Usually it will start work even before you wake.It will work with your home entertainment system while you sleep to find programmes that will interest you and download them as a podcast to watch on the train or in other spare moments.It will intelligently work out what to do with incoming phone calls and messages.Because it knows your diary it will also know,for example,to direct voice calls to voicemail when you are in a meeting,perhaps providing a discrete text summary of the caller and the nature of their call.
With its understanding of almost all aspects of your life; many new services become possible.For example,a"Good Food"meal planning service could send daily suggestions for your evening meal based on learned preferences,previous selections made and the likely contents of your refrigerator.
Ten years ago the mobile was purely a device for making voice calls.Now it is a camera,MP3player,and texting device.This is only the start of an evolution that will turn it into our trusted and indispensable companion in life.

6.Hoverboards(電動(dòng)滑板)were among the most popular Christmas gifts of 2015.They may have also been most dangerous gifts of 2015.
A truehoverboard looks like a skateboard without wheels.To"hover"means to flat in the air without moving much in any direction.The popularity of hoverboards began in the 1980s,with the"Back to the Future"movies.Characters in the second and third films used hoverboards as transportation.
This year's popular hoverboards,however,do not actually hover.They have wheels.And?as it turns out,they are not easy to use.
Adults and children around the world suffered hoverboard-related injuries over the weekend.Many posted pictures of the damage on social media.Twitter user David Douglas posted a photo of both him and a young girl with the broken arms they suffered on Christmas Day.And another user Erin Rafferty uploaded a video of her mother falling off a hoverboard,with the caption,"Who let mom on the hoverboard?"
Falling is not the only risk with some hoverboards.They are also a fire risk.At one store in Texas,an employee tried to fix a hoverboard a customer brought in.The hoverboard then caught fire.
Studies suggest that some hoverboard brands have defective batteries or plugs.
Many major airlines worldwide have banned hoverboards because of the fire risk.But some passengers did not hear the news.Australian actor Russell Crowesaid on Monday about his disappointment that Virgin Australia Airlines did not permit his children to take their hoverboards on the plane.
Major retailers (零售商)are also taking steps to improve the safety of the hoverboards they sell.Amazon in the United States now only sells hoverboards from brands that have submitted safety standrd documents.The UK's Amazon no longer sells hoverboards.It has also advised customers who bought unsafe brands of hoverboards to throw them away.

12.What's the problem with this year's hoverboards?C
A.They don't havewheels.
B.They catch fire in the sun.
C.They are difficult to handle.
D.They can't move in any direction.
13.We can infer from the passage that.C
A.the number of hoverboard-related injuries is declining.
B.hoverboards are still enjoying equal popularity as before.
C.hoverboards are still sold on Amazon in the United States.
D.passengers are forbidden to get on planes with hoverboards.
14.The underlined word"defective"in the sixth paragraph probably means.A
A.faulty  B.spare  C.dead  D.dry
15.We can probably read this passage in aA.

32.Why is there a smile on the author's face in the morning?D

I used to believe courtesy(禮貌) was a thing of the past. Very seldom have I encountered a courteous human being in this modem era of the so called Generation X.

Recently, I had to change my thinking, when I came face to face with just such a human being. I had gone to a happening coffee place, with two of my grown up daughters. The place was crowded with the usual loud crowd and we had to climb a sleep flight of stairs in order to find an empty table. After enjoying coffee and snacks, we were at the steep descent down the stairs, where the narrow space made climbing down only possible in a single file, with hardly any space for another person to either climb up or come down.

Just as I was in the middle of my descent, a gentleman entered the main entrance of the restaurant which right in front of the staircase. I was sure I would be pushed roughly by this man who will want to go up in a hurry. I kept coming down as fast as I could, holding on to the banister (欄桿), instead of my advanced years. My agile daughters were already down, looking up at me worriedly, hoping I would reach them before the stranger strange started up the stairs, knowing I was a nervous sort.

Nearly reaching them, I noticed the man still standing near the door. I reached my daughters and passed the stranger at the entrance door which he kept holding open. I looked back thinking he was still at the door, deciding whether to go in or find another less crowded place. I saw him going up the stairs, two at a time. I told my daughters about it and all three of us felt had that we did not even thank the courteous gentleman who was actually holding the door open for us ladies to pass through before going up.

1.What happened after the writer saw the young man?

A. The young man pushed the writer roughly and went upstairs.

B. The writer’s daughters helped her down the stairs as fast possible.

C. The young man stood at the door deciding whether to go in or not.

D. The writer caught hold of the bannister to walk as fast as she can.

2.What do you think caused the writer’s nervousness?

A. The stairs were too narrow and sleep.

B. Her two daughters had been down already.

C. She was afraid of being pushed roughly.

D. She could not walk fast because of old age.

3.What can be the best title?

A. A polite young man B. Generation X

C. The coffee place D. A family get-together
