You may think there are no differences between British and American people. After all, they speak the same language, don’t they? If you ask a British or an American person, he will probably tell you that there are differences. And the differences are quite great.
What do British people think American people are like? The British think American people are very strange. They make a lot of noise and they laugh too loudly. They are rich, and they only think about money. But the British do say that American people are kind, and friendly people. They’re happy to help you if you are in trouble.
What do Americans think of the British? Well, they think the British are cold and very unfriendly. They are not interested in success or in making lots of money. They think British is the best country in the world. They look down on other countries. But Americans say that the British are quite hard workers. They are brave and honest. And in time of trouble they face difficulties happily.
You can see that these ideas can cause misunderstanding between the British and Americans. But when American and British people become friends, they usually find things are not as bad as they expected.
4. Are there any differences between British and American people?
A. Yes, but the differences are very small.
B. Yes, and the differences are quite great.
C. No, there isn’t any difference between them.
D. Some people think there are, but some people don’t think so.

Many of us live with a roommate at some stage. Sometimes, there can be problems. Who hasn’t had an argument about whose turn it is to take out the rubbish or who should be the one to clear up after dinner? However, living with another person also comes with many benefits.
You know that there’s always someone else around, which can help you feel safer. There is always someone to talk to, so you never feel lonely. Besides these obvious benefits, there are some you may not notice. For example, we’re actually more likely to eat healthier food when living with others.
To examine the effect of living alone, Australian university researchers did much research and found that people living alone tended to eat less fresh food, which can have a significant negative effect on long-term health. However, those living with others generally benefited from a more varied diet compared to those living alone.
What could explain these findings? The researchers believe the social and cultural roles played by cooking, food preparation and eating may be important considerations. For example, those living with friends have someone else to go shopping with, and thus are likely to buy higher-quality fresh food regularly.
Cooking skills may be another factor. If people living alone find they do not have the knowledge required to prepare a particular dish or cook a certain food,they may fall back on ready-made, less healthy food. However, if they live with at least one other person, they may be able to ask for help.
In addition, people living alone can eat whatever they want at any time of the day or night. However, it’s helpful to have someone around who questions your decision to eat frozen pizza at 3 am. In other words, roommates can draw your attention to unhealthy routines.
So,if you now live alone and find yourself fighting a losing battle against poor eating habits, why not consider sharing a home with someone else? You could encourage one another on to greater health and well-being.
8. The author uses the first paragraph to ______.
A. introduce the topic of the text B. remind readers of their roommates

9. The second paragraph is mainly about _______.

C. the way of dealing with a roommate D. the importance of communicating with others
10. The underlined phrase”fall back on” in Paragraph 5 means________.
A. hunt for B. cut down on
C. depend on D. give up
11. What is the main purpose of this text?
A. To explain why roommate have arguments.
B. To tell readers every coin has two sides.
C. To encourage people to have a roommate.
D. To persuade people to develop healthy eating habits.
D
Over the last seven years, most states have banned texting by drivers, and public service campaigns have tried a wide range of methods to persuade people to put down their phones when they are behind the wheel.
Yet the problem, by just about any measure, appears to be getting worse. Americans are still texting while driving, as well as using social networks and taking photos. Road accidents, which had fallen for years, are now rising sharply.
That is partly because people are driving more, but Mark Rosekind, the chief of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, said distracted(分心)driving was "only increasing, unfortunately."
"Big change requires big ideas." he said in a speech last month, referring broadly to the need to improve road safety. So to try to change a distinctly modern behavior, lawmakers and public health experts are reaching back to an old approach: They want to treat distracted driving like drunk driving.
An idea from lawmakers in New York is to give police officers a new device called the Textalyzer. It would work like this: An officer arriving at the scene of a crash could ask for the phones of the drivers and use the Textalyzer to check in the operating system for recent activity. The technology could determine whether a driver had just texted, emailed or done anything else that is not allowed under New York's hands-free driving laws.
"We need something on the books that can change people's behavior,” said Félix W. Ortiz, who pushed for the state's 2001 ban on hand-held devices by drivers. If the Textalyzer bill becomes law, he said, "people are going to be more afraid to put their hands on the cell phone."
12. Which of the following best describes the ban on drivers' texting in the US?
A. Ineffective. B. Unnecessary.
C. Inconsistent. D. Unfair.
13. What can the Textalyzer help a police officer find out?
A. Where a driver came from. B. Whether a driver used their phone.
C. How fast a driver was going. D. When a driver arrived at the scene.
14. What does the underlined word "something" in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Advice. B. Data. C. Tests. D. Laws.
15. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. To Drive or Not to Drive? Think Before You Start
B. Texting and Driving? Watch Out for the Textalyzer
C. New York Banning Hand-Held Devices by Drivers.
D. The Next Generation Cell Phone: The Textalyzer.
二、七选五(共1小题:每小题3分,满分15分)

Unfortunately, no one paid attention to her, and she rarely sold anything. Jim wanted to help her, and one day he got his chance. His aunt would retire, and he thought a bouquet (花束) would be a great gift.
“Hello, could you please make me a bouquet of roses?” Jim said as he approached the girl.
The girl didn’t raise her head and just stared at the same spot on the ground. “I’m Cassy. Thank you for buying flowers from me,” she said. “Could you please select the flowers by yourself and give them to me? I will tie them together for you. I can’t see. ”
“Oh, I’m sorry,” Jim said as he picked the flowers and handed them to her. Within several seconds, the girl made a lovely bouquet for Jim.
“Here,” she said, holding the bouquet. “That’ll be $5.”
“Thanks. They’re beautiful,” Jim said and walked away after placing the money in the hat beside Cassy.
The next day, Jim went to work and he decided to have a quick talk with Cassy on the way. However, he didn’t see Cassy where she used to be that morning. He thought she might be late and decided to meet her the next day, but she didn’t show up for the next few days in a row (连续地).

The technology could determine whether a driver had just texted, emailed or done anything else that is not allowed under New York's hands-free driving laws.
"We need something on the books that can change people's behavior,” said Félix W. Ortiz, who pushed for the state's 2001 ban on hand-held devices by drivers. If the Textalyzer bill becomes law, he said, "people are going to be more afraid to put their hands on the cell phone."
12. Which of the following best describes the ban on drivers' texting in the US?
A. Ineffective. B. Unnecessary.
C. Inconsistent. D. Unfair.
13. What can the Textalyzer help a police officer find out?
A. Where a driver came from. B. Whether a driver used their phone.
C. How fast a driver was going. D. When a driver arrived at the scene.
14. What does the underlined word "something" in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Advice. B. Data. C. Tests. D. Laws.
15. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. To Drive or Not to Drive? Think Before You Start
B. Texting and Driving? Watch Out for the Textalyzer
C. New York Banning Hand-Held Devices by Drivers.
D. The Next Generation Cell Phone: The Textalyzer.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文一篇说明文。为解决司机在开车时使用手机造成“分神”,引发交通事故的问题,纽约的一名立法者提出使用Textalyzer(短信监控器)的技术来监控司机在开车的时候是否使用了手机。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Over the last seven years, most states have banned texting by drivers, and public service campaigns have tried a wide range of methods to persuade people to put down their phones when they are behind the wheel.”(在过去的七年里,大多数州都禁止司机发短信,公共服务活动也尝试了各种各样的方法来说服人们在开车时放下手机。)以及第二段中“Yet the problem, by just about any measure, appears to be getting worse.”(然而,无论以何种标准衡量,这个问题似乎都在恶化。)可知,大多数州使用了各种各样的方法说服司机们在开车的时候放下手机,可是情况却越来越糟糕。所以各种方法是无效的。A选项ineffective意为“无效的”,与此相符。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The technology could determine whether a driver had just texted, emailed or done anything else that is not allowed under New York's hands-free driving laws.”(这项技术可以确定司机是否发了短信、发了邮件,或者做了纽约免提驾驶法不允许的其他事情。)可知,Textalyzer能够确定的是司机是否使用了手机发短信、邮件以及其他驾驶法不允许的行为。B 选项意为“是否司机使用了手机。”与此相符,故选B。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据句中的“We need something on the books that can change people's behavior.”(我们需要一些能改变人们行为的东西,)可知,something是能够改变人们的行为的事情。根据下文的“If the Textalyzer bill becomes law, he said, "people are going to be more afraid to put their hands on the cell phone.”(他说,如果Textalyzer法案成为法律,“人们会更害怕拿起手机。)可知,人们的行为会改变的条件是当Textalyzer法案成为法律。受到法律的约束和惩罚,司机们才不会在开车的时候使用手机。故something指代的是法律。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。纵观全文,第一段和第二段阐述的是“虽然大多数州已经尝试了各种各样的方法来说服人们在开车时放下手机。可是问题却越来越严重”。第三段中“That is partly because people are driving more.”(部分原因是开车的人越来越多)可知,解释了该行为产生的部分原因。第四段至第五段讲述的是为了解决该问题是纽约立法者提出了一个新的想法即利用Textalyzer技术,来监控司机在开车的时候是否使用了手机。最后一段讲述的是:相关人士呼吁该项技术能够成为真正的法案由此才能真正地改变人们的行为。故B选项Texting and Driving? Watch Out for the Textalyzer(发短信还是在开车?防范短信监控器。)适合文章的标题。故选B。
二、七选五(共1小题:每小题3分,满分15分)
You’re running late and need to text the friend you’re meeting, or you’re just about to scan your digital airplane boarding pass and suddenly you realize that you have no phone power left. But there’s good news: ___16___ Here’s how.
Adjust (调整) your brightness. Rather than remembering to dim and brighten your phone (found in the Settings menu) in different cases, most phones let you select “auto﹣brightness”, which means it will sense the lighting conditions you’re in and adjust the screen’s brightness up and down automatically (自动地). On iPhones, you’ll find this setting under “Accessibility.” ___17___
Keep your WiFi turned on.___18___But if you connect to WiFi, performing those same tasks will use less power——so it’s always better to join a WiFi network when you can. In Settings, you can choose to keep your WiFi turned on, which will automatically join known WiFi networks, or remind you when WiFi is near you.
___19___ Forgetting to charge your phone before bed can mean waking up the next day to a low battery. For some, it’s easier to keep a wireless charging pad on your nightstand because all you’ll need to do is put your phone on it.
Change modes when you’re running low.___20___Turning it on will limit some energy-consuming (消耗电量的) apps and features. But you’ll still be able to make and receive calls, texts, and email.
A. Make at﹣home charging easier.
B. Frequent charging will shorten the battery life.
C. On Androids, you’ll typically find it under “Display”.
D. Turning off your phone at night will extend battery life.
E. Browsing the web over your network can run down your battery.

【答案】16. F 17. C 18. E 19. A 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文为说明文。文章主要介绍了一些延长手机电池的寿命的方法。
【16题详解】
根据上文“You’re running late and need to text the friend you’re meeting, or you’re just about to scan your digital airplane boarding pass and suddenly you realize that you have no phone power left. But there’s good news: (你要迟到了,需要给你要见面的朋友发短信,或者你正要扫描你的数字登机牌,突然意识到你的电话没电了。但有一个好消息: )并结合下文内容介绍了如何延长电池寿命的策略,可推断接下来介绍如何延长手机电池的寿命。所以F选项“对日常生活进行一些调整可以延长手机的电池寿命。”符合语境,承上启下。故选F。
【17题详解】
根据上文“On iPhones, you’ll find this setting under “ Accessibility.” (在iPhone上,您可以在“辅助功能”下找到此设置)可知,上文介绍了iPhone上的操作,接下来介绍在安卓手机上如何操作。所以C选项“在Android上,你通常会在显示下找到它。”符合语境,故选C。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Keep your WiFi turned on. (把无线网打开)”和下文“But if you connect to WiFi, performing those same tasks will use less power——so it’s always better to join a WiFi network when you can.(但如果你连接到WiFi,执行同样的任务会消耗更少的电量——所以最好在可能的时候加入WiFi网络。)”可知,空格介绍打开无线网会耗电。所以E选项“通过网络浏览网页可能会耗尽电池电量。”符合语境,承接上文,与下文是转折关系,故选E。
【19题详解】
空处为段落标题。根据下文“For some, it’s easier to keep a wireless charging pad on your nightstand because all you’ll need to do is put your phone on it. (对一些人来说,在床头柜上放一个无线充电板更容易,因为你只需要把手机放在上面。)可知,本段主要介绍了如何在家里充电。所以A选项“让在家充电更容易。”符合语境,故选A。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Change modes when you're running low. (在电量不足时更改模式。)和下文“Turning it on will limit some energy-consuming (消耗电量的) apps and features. But you’ll still be able to make and receive calls,texts, and email.(打开它会限制一些耗能的应用程序和功能。但你仍然可以拨打和接收电话、短信和电子邮件。)”可知,空处介绍了给手机设置什么样的模式。所以G选项“大多数手机在电池设置下都有“低功耗”或“省电”模式”符合语境承上启下。故选G。

Every time Jim crossed the street on his way to work, he would see a little girl selling flowers on the street. She sat by a large green board with the names of the flowers and their prices on it. Unfortunately, no one paid attention to her, and she rarely sold anything. Jim wanted to help her, and one day he got his chance. His aunt would retire, and he thought a bouquet (花束) would be a great gift.
“Hello, could you please make me a bouquet of roses?” Jim said as he approached the girl.
The girl didn’t raise her head and just stared at the same spot on the ground. “I’m Cassy. Thank you for buying flowers from me,” she said. “Could you please select the flowers by yourself and give them to me? I will tie them together for you. I can’t see. ”
“Oh, I’m sorry,” Jim said as he picked the flowers and handed them to her. Within several seconds, the girl made a lovely bouquet for Jim.
“Here,” she said, holding the bouquet. “That’ll be $5.”
“Thanks. They’re beautiful,” Jim said and walked away after placing the money in the hat beside Cassy.
The next day, Jim went to work and he decided to have a quick talk with Cassy on the way. However, he didn’t see Cassy where she used to be that morning. He thought she might be late and decided to meet her the next day, but she didn’t show up for the next few days in a row (连续地).
Jim was concerned about Cassy, wondering if something bad had happened to Cassy. Surprisingly, he finally met Cassy again on the street with her flowers.
Paragraph 1:
Jim was so delighted to see Cassy that he ran to her at once.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Jim then drove Cassy to her home, where he met her sick mother, Jade.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Jim was so delighted to see Cassy that he ran to her at once. However, to his shock, Cassy seemed tired and pale. He approached her worriedly. “Cassy, what happened to you? Do you still remember me?” “The one who bought roses?” “Yes, that’s me. I’m worried about you. You haven’t been here for days.” “Well, I am okay,” she said. “Mom suffered from an illness, and I had to look after her. She needs surgery (手术), so I have to work harder to earn more money.” Jim listened, and tears welled up in his eyes. He told Cassy that he wanted to visit her mother, and Cassy agreed.
Jim then drove to her home, where he met her sick mother, Jade. Jim noticed the poor conditions they were living in and decided to do something to help them. He posted their story online and many people offered help. Thanks to Jim and those kind-hearted people, Cassy’s mother underwent surgery and finally recovered. On the day Jade was discharged from hospital, Jim bought a bouquet for her from Cassy. Jim hoped they could live a happy life with love.
