The smartphones that can take selfies （自拍照） have set us free．We can now document every moment of our life and instantly share it with the world through the Internet．However，some believe that it's also causing people to take （41）Irisks that sometimes prove to be deadly!
According to recent reports，the（42）Cto take a breathtaking selfie killed 12 people last year．Though that may not seem like a lot，it's 33% more than the death from shark attacks．
While the（43）Ahas been known for a while，it came to a head on September 21，2015，following the （44）Edeath of Hideto Ueda at the Taj Mahal in New Delhi．It turned out that the 66-year-old Japanese and his companion were trying to take a selfie with the Royal Gate as the background when they fell down some stairs．
Other fatal accidents this year include a 21-year-old Russian woman who fell off a bridge while trying to （45）Gan exciting selfie．Three Indian students （46）Fa similar fate after they were run over by a train while taking a selfie on the railway tracks．
The rising number of injuries is forcing officials to take measures．Russia has begun a nationwide（47）Dprogram to make its young citizens realize the dangers of this hobby．The campaign's slogan is：Even a million"likes"on social media are not worth your life and well-being．
Though no other country has followed their lead，many are banning the selfie sticks!The Museum of Modem Art in New York and the Getty Center in Los Angeles are among those to have （48）Ba ban on the selfie sticks，claiming concerns over the safety of their artwork as well as visitors．
While these measures may help reduce the incidents，the only way to stop selfie-related injuries and deaths is to take（49）Jnot just for themselves but for their friends．So next time you decide to take a selfie that appears a little （50）H，be sure to stop and ask yourself：is it worth it？

分析 本文敘述了智能手機(jī)的自拍功能帶來(lái)的許多意外傷亡事件，許多人忙于自拍而丟掉生命或者受傷的例子比比皆是；因此俄羅斯以及美國(guó)的政府及一些部門(mén)頒布措施或者法令來(lái)禁止一些公共場(chǎng)合的自拍，尤其是面臨危險(xiǎn)時(shí)要提高人們的自我防范意識(shí)．

解答 ICAEGFDBJH
41．I．unnecessary．考查形容詞，結(jié)合However可知，接下來(lái)要敘述的是智能手機(jī)的負(fù)面影響，即有時(shí)會(huì)帶來(lái)致命的不必要的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)；故選I．
42．C．desire．考查名詞．根據(jù)后面的描述可知，去年這種行為（take a breathtaking selfie 驚心動(dòng)魄的自拍）導(dǎo)致了12人死亡．由此可知，應(yīng)該是自拍的這種欲望、想法導(dǎo)致了這一結(jié)果的發(fā)生；故選C．
43．A．issue．考查名詞．后面描述的是2015年9月21日，在新德里泰姬陵的皇家大門(mén)有一名日本游客Hideto Ueda自拍時(shí)不慎跌落階梯而死這一事件；故選A．
44．E．a(chǎn)ccidental．考查形容詞．根據(jù)后面的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句when they fell down some stairs可知，這是一起意外事故；故選E．
45．G．capture．考查動(dòng)詞．此處描述的另外一起致命事故，一位21歲俄羅斯女孩在自拍時(shí)為了捕捉一個(gè)美麗的風(fēng)景而掉到橋下的事故；try to do意為"努力做某事"，前面的to為不定式的符號(hào)；故選G．
46．F．suffered．考查動(dòng)詞．根據(jù)后面的a similar fate可知，這里還是描述的自拍時(shí)的意外事故，理應(yīng)是遭受的這樣的一種災(zāi)難，即在跟火車(chē)合影時(shí)遭遇不幸；故選F．
47．D．a(chǎn)wareness．考查名詞．由后面的動(dòng)詞不定式to make its young citizens realize the dangers of this hobby可知，政府的目的是使年輕的市民意識(shí)到這一愛(ài)好的危險(xiǎn)，那么政府組織的是一項(xiàng)在全國(guó)范圍內(nèi)提高市民意識(shí)的運(yùn)動(dòng)；故選D．
48．B．imposed．考查動(dòng)詞．此處是各部門(mén)采取措施防止這一現(xiàn)象的惡化，即強(qiáng)力推行自拍的禁令；故選B．
49．J．responsibility．考查名詞．根據(jù)前面的主語(yǔ)the only way to stop selfie-related injuries and deaths可知阻止因自拍而帶來(lái)的傷亡的唯一方法就是要承擔(dān)起責(zé)任來(lái)；故選J．
50．H．risky．考查形容詞．由后面的疑問(wèn)句be sure to stop and ask yourself：is it worth it？可知，這是提醒讀者在下次自拍時(shí)當(dāng)遇到危險(xiǎn)時(shí)，一定要三思：?jiǎn)枂?wèn)自己是否值得為了自拍而去冒生命危險(xiǎn)？故選H．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文屬于10選9閱讀題型．該題型選詞填空的選項(xiàng)詞義互不關(guān)聯(lián)，詞性也不同，而且還有干擾項(xiàng)，一定要先了解文章大意，帶著文章脈絡(luò)去找選項(xiàng)．務(wù)必先沉著地把文章讀一遍，尤其注意橫線前后的位置，為尋找正確選項(xiàng)打下鋪墊．通讀時(shí)要根據(jù)首段原則以及首末句原則，迅速抓出文章的主題．判定文章主題對(duì)于篇章的整體把握具有很大的積極意義．

2．Do I exist？
Obviously!
Until Descartes came along in the seventeenth century，everyone assumed that we exited．Obviously．The fact seemed so mind-blowingly obvious that it wasn't really discussed．We could see ourselves in the mirror，we could feel pain and pleasure，we could think thoughts for ourselves and，more importantly，perhaps，all the world's main religions assumed that we do exist．So we exist．

No you don't it!
You don't exist．That's because it's impossible to show once and for all that you do．There's no proof．You might think you exist-that you are sitting at a table reading this book，for instance-but how could you show with 100percent certainty that this is true？There's no experiment that could prove it．Although Descartes said just you could prove your own existence by the fact that you are able to think，this isn't actually，according to the British philosopher A．J．Ayer．Just because we know that we are thinking，this doesn't mean that there is a"you"doing the thinking．It just shows that the thoughts are happening，not that anyone is having them．Thoughts exists，"You"don't．

______!
What a waste of time this question is．Although you can argue until the end of time whether you exist or not，it doesn't get you anywhere．Unless you forget about this unanswerable question，you'll be stuck thinking about it forever，and that isn't of any use to anyone．Move on．Think about something more important!This very roughly，is the view of almost all philosophers，who prefer to answer other，apparently more useful，questions．

Yes，but…
You exist，but not in the way you might think．According to the great French philosopher Ren Descartes，you can't show that anything exists-apart from your own self．The existence of the entire world can be doubted in one way or another，but the facts you're having thoughts shows that there might be something （that's you） having them．This let Descartes to write the famous philosophical phrase，"I think before I am"．

60．Which of the following can be the missing heading？D
A．Forget about it            
B．What a ridiculous point
C．Think about it             
D．What a pointless question
61．This passage is anything but a（n）A．
A．comment   
B．discussion    
C．a(chǎn)rgument   
D．debate
62．The famous answer to the question"Do I exist？"isB．
A．No，you don't exist．
B．I think，therefore，I am．
C．Yes，you do exist．
D．It won't get you anywhere．

We often learn important lesson during sad times．So when we feel sad，we should try to think about that we might learn from the experience．

7．It took 100years，but finally，scientists proved Albert Einstein's theory that gravitational waves exist．
The waves were predicted as part of Einstein's general theory of relativity nearly 100years ago．It was the theory of the physics behind the workings of our world and the universe．
The idea was that the waves are like ripples in space，caused by some of the violent and energetic processes in the universe．For example，two black holes crashing into each other．
Now a group of scientists，including ones from Caltech，MIT and the LIGO Scientific，Collaboration finally found the gravitational waves．
David Reitze is the executive director of the LIGO observatory at Caltech．
"We have detected gravitational waves．We did it!"
What are these gravitational waves？
Well，imagine throwing a rock into a pond．When the rock hits the flat surface of the water，it creates ripples or waves．Space-time is like the surface of the water．So that means gravitational waves are like the ripples moving out from where the rock hits the water．
It might be hard to understand，but those gravitational waves expand and contract space and time as they move through space．And when they get to the Earth，the waves pass through，and they contract and expand the planet as the waves go by．
It was Einstein who said these gravitational waves should be observable．
But these are not huge waves．They are very，very small，which is why it took so long to find them．You cannot see them with your eyes．They are smaller than the size of an atom．
How did the scientists find them？
They used a giant scientific tool called LIGO，which stands for the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory．The billion-dollar LIGO project is two L-shaped observatories．One is in Louisiana and the other in Washington state．
For years，scientists have been watching two black holes in another faraway galaxy．The two were spinning around each other，moving closer and closer together．When they finally crashed into each other，it was with such power and force that gravitational waves rang throughout the universe，like a giant bell．
Those waves，traveling at the speed of light，finally reached the Earth，some l.3billion years later．They are the same waves that the scientists announced this past week．
So，what does this discovery mean？
Our understanding of the heavens changed dramatically．

32．What are gravitational waves about？A
A．About the workings of the universe．
B．About how black holes form．
C．About how the universe began．
D．About how the ripples form on the surface of water．
33．The underlined sentence"two black holes crashing into each other"is intended to expressB．
A．how the universe begins to exist
B．how gravitational waves form
C．how new black holes appear
D．how the earth is affected
34．Why are gravitational waves difficult to detect？A
A．Because they are too small．
B．Because they are far away．
C．Because they seldom occur．
D．Because they have disappeared．
35．With the discovery of gravitational waves，we'llC．
A．create a new world
B．make full use of gravitational waves
C．view the universe in a new way
D．a(chǎn)void being hit by black holes．

4．Secret Santas
    On Christmas morning，Linda wakes up，and tries to imagine the wide-eyed surprise of children in another household as they unwrap the presents she carefully chose for them．Linda has never met the children，but that's all part of the joy of giving as secret Santas，she says．
"It's an amazing feeling to buy gifts on an anonymous （匿名的） basis，"says Linda．"It brings a whole new meaning to the holidays．"
     Linda and Tony are an American couple living in Toronto，Canada，and Linda did charitable work as a member of the American Women's Club of Toronto．As the name suggests，members are U．S．citizens living in Toronto，who join together for fellowship and community service．
    To find her"adopted"family，Linda goes to the local schools and requests a wish list for a family that's struggling to survive．Last year she helped a single mother with three children．The mother works as a cleaning lady in a nursing home．
"The list is always heartbreaking．They have an opportunity to ask for anything and do just the opposite，asking for basic clothes or simple toys，"she says．"We always buy the kids a new winter coat，hats，and gloves．"She also buys gifts for the parents．
    Last year Linda asked the mother for a second wish list--one that didn't include the basics．"Every child should have a Christmas that sticks with them for a lifetime．"She purchased iPods for the two older children and a video game system for the youngest．"I have learned a very valuable lesson in all of this，"says Linda．"Pay attention to what's going on in your own backyard--no matter where you live．"
The joy of giving as secret Santas is much sweeter when the gift is anonymous．

81．What reaction does Linda imagine the children will have？（No more than 5 words）They will feel greatly surprised．．
82．Why did Linda join the American Women's Club of Toronto？（No more than 10 words）
She joined it for fellowship and community service．．
83．Why did Linda ask for a second wish list？（No more than 15 words）She wanted to give children some other gifts rather than the basics．
84．What kind of people does"secret Santas"in the passage refer to？（No more than 12 words）It refers to people who give away anonymous gifts on Christmas．．

11．I am a thirty-year-old Asian woman and I work in my family's furniture business in Mombasa，Kenya．I have a disability caused by a spinal（脊柱的） injury．
I started school at the age of three but my physical activity was severely limited due to the nature of my disability．The word pity and the puzzle-horror look on people's faces as they stare at me have been my life's companion since those early days．
I had always dreamt of becoming a lawyer but I had to give up further education due to my health condition．But I still wanted to see whether there was some life out there beyond the narrow limits of my local community．Somehow I always hoped，still，I could find a means to overcome this limitedness．
However，I am very fortunate to have a positive family．They have also faced challenges having a disabled member in the family，but they have never made me feel different or treated me differently．
Having personally experienced a lot of discrimination，I decided that it was time to create awareness about disability in my community．I went to work at the Rotaract Club，an organization that assists the poor in society．However，I noticed that it runs on an easy charity model-food，clothes，sometimes cash．Even though this approach serves immediate needs，I knew that we needed to and could do more．
Being the only disabled member in the club made it difficult to express my views．So，as soon as I retired from the Rotaract Club I produced Dear Diary．It is a play which is based on my real life experiences as well as those with similar experiences．I insist that the Asian community need to look deeply into its beliefs towards persons with disabilities and establish structures of social support for them．Someone must teach them that an individual's inner self is even precious．

46．Why did the author give up her further educationA？
A．Because she was in a poor health condition．
B．Because she had to operate her family business．
C．Because she couldn't bear people's discrimination．
D．Because she wanted to help the poor in her community．
47．What does the author think of her familyC？
A．Fortunate and different．
B．Positive but Poor．
C．Positive and supportive．
D．Supportive but poor．
48．The author retired from the Rotaract Club becauseD．
A．it couldn't meet her immediate needs．
B．it ran on a total different charity model．
C．there wasn't any other disabled member．
D．the author couldn't express herself freely．
49．The purpose of the author's producing Dear Diary is toB．
A．record her life experiences of being disabled
B．call on people to care for the disabled
C．show the lives of her family members
D．express her beliefs towards the disabled
50．What can we learn from the passageA？
A．The author attaches great importance to the inner self．
B．The author overcame her limitedness to become a lawyer．
C．The author has faced difficulties creating a new club．
D．The author looks deeply into the real life of the Asian community．
