The glasses can record short video clips that can be shared with Snapchat users. Snap Inc. has started selling its sunglasses online.

When I was 8 years old, I decided to run away from home after a quarrel with my mother. With my suitcase packed and some sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door.
My mom asked where I was going. “I’m leaving home,” I said.
“What’s that you’re carrying?” she asked.
“Some clothes and food,” I replied.
“If you want to run away, that’s all right,” she said. “But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way.”
I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor and started for the door again.
“Wait a minute,” Mom said. “You didn’t have any clothes on when you arrived, and I want them back.”
This infuriated me. I tore my clothes off — shoes, socks, underwear and all — and shouted, “Can I go now?”
“Yes,” my mom answered, “but once you close that door, don’t expect to come back.”
I was so angry that I shut the door forcefully and stepped out of my home. Then I noticed down the street two neighbor girls walking toward our house. I was so shy that I saw the big spruce (云杉) tree in our yard and jumped under the low-hanging branches (树枝). A pile of dried-up brown needles (针状物) were beneath the tree, and you can’t imagine the pain those sharp needles caused to my body.
After I was sure the girls had passed by, I ran to the front door and knocked at it loudly.
“It’s Billy! Let me in!”
The voice behind the door answered, “Billy doesn’t live here anymore. He ran away from home.”
Looking behind me to see if anyone else was coming down the street, I said, “Mom! I’m sorry. I’m still your son. Let me in!”
The door opened and Mom’s smiling face appeared. “Did you change your mind about running away?” she asked.
“What’s for supper?” I smiled back.
24. When the author was leaving home, his mother ordered him to _____.
A stay at home B. take some sandwiches
C. leave everything behind D. check his suitcase carefully
25. The underlined word “infuriated” probably means “_____”.
A. surprised B. warned
C. encouraged D. angered
26. Why did the author jump under the low-hanging branches?
A. To avoid being seen. B. To find some needles.
C. To play a joke on the two girls. D. To attract the two girls’ attention.
27. The last sentence “What’s for supper?” mainly shows that the author _____.
A. changed his plan to leave home
B. felt very hungry at that time
C. wished to eat something before leaving
D. wanted to know what his mother prepared for supper
C
Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.
Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating for people are often less selfconscious (难为情) when they’re in poorly lit places—and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.
Don’t forget the clock—or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories (卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12inch plate instead of a 10inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake (摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.
28. The text is especially helpful for those who care about ____________.
A. their home comforts B. their body shape
C. house buying D. healthy diets
29. A home environment in blue can help people ______________.
A. digest food better B. reduce food intake
C. burn more calories D. regain their appetites
30. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?
A. Eat quickly. B. Play fast music.
C. Use smaller spoons. D. Turn down the lights.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Is Your House Making You Fat? B. Ways of Serving Dinner
C. Effects of SelfConsciousness D. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?
D
The common cold is the world’s most widespread illness, which is probably why there are more myths about it than any of the other illnesses.
The most widespread mistake of all is that colds are caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated Arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected (感染的) people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.
At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in Experiments. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be doused (浸入) with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty (通风的) rooms. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.
If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.
No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors (止痛片) such as aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms.
32. What does the fact that the Eskimos don’t suffer colds show?
A. Colds are really full of myths.
B. Viruses are the factors causing colds.
C. Colds are more severe than other illnesses.
D. The idea that cold leads to colds doesn’t stand up.
33. What did the experiments mentioned in Paragraph 3 prove?
A. Being doused with cold water did harm to one’s body.
B. Taking hot baths made the volunteers easy to be tired.
C. It was viruses not wet and cold that made people have colds.
D. People who would like to exercise in the rain got colds more easily.
34. Why are colds commonly seen in winter, according to the passage?
A. Staying together indoors makes it easier for viruses to pass on.
B. People are usually weak because of the extreme cold in winter.
C. Viruses can go into people’s warm bodies more easily in winter.
D. There is great difference between indoor and outdoor temperature.
35. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The myths about colds. B. The experiments on colds.
C. The continued spread of common colds. D. The reason and the way people catch colds.

M: Well, for some reason, the wireless signal isn’t very good in the bedrooms here, so we usually advise guests to go to the reception area without any fees. Besides, there are PCs in the hotel’s business center on the 4th floor for a small charge.

【答案】17. B 18. C 19. A 20. A
【解析】
【原文】W: Today we have a special speaker who is twelve years old, but you may have already used some of his apps. Now, everyone, meet Thomas Suarez.
M: Thank you. A lot of kids these days like to play computer games. But if they want to make them, it’s difficult because not many kids know where to go to find out how to make a program. I mean, for soccer, you could go to a soccer team. For violin, you could get violin lessons. But what if you want to make an app? And not many parents have written apps. Well, this is how I approached it. First of all, I’ve been programming in several other programming languages to get the basics down, and then the iPhone software development kit opened up a whole new world of possibilities for me. It is a set of tools for creating and programming an iPhone app. After playing with it a little bit, I made a couple of apps and I’ve started an App Club at school. Any student at my school can come and learn how to design an app. In the future, I’d like to get into android programming and development. I’d like to create more apps. I’m working with a third party company to make an app.

When I was 8 years old, I decided to run away from home after a quarrel with my mother. With my suitcase packed and some sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door.
My mom asked where I was going. “I’m leaving home,” I said.
“What’s that you’re carrying?” she asked.
“Some clothes and food,” I replied.
“If you want to run away, that’s all right,” she said. “But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way.”
I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor and started for the door again.
“Wait a minute,” Mom said. “You didn’t have any clothes on when you arrived, and I want them back.”
This infuriated me. I tore my clothes off — shoes, socks, underwear and all — and shouted, “Can I go now?”
“Yes,” my mom answered, “but once you close that door, don’t expect to come back.”
I was so angry that I shut the door forcefully and stepped out of my home. Then I noticed down the street two neighbor girls walking toward our house. I was so shy that I saw the big spruce (云杉) tree in our yard and jumped under the low-hanging branches (树枝). A pile of dried-up brown needles (针状物) were beneath the tree, and you can’t imagine the pain those sharp needles caused to my body.
After I was sure the girls had passed by, I ran to the front door and knocked at it loudly.
“It’s Billy! Let me in!”
The voice behind the door answered, “Billy doesn’t live here anymore. He ran away from home.”
Looking behind me to see if anyone else was coming down the street, I said, “Mom! I’m sorry. I’m still your son. Let me in!”
The door opened and Mom’s smiling face appeared. “Did you change your mind about running away?” she asked.
“What’s for supper?” I smiled back.

Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.
Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less selfconscious (难为情) when they’re in poorly lit places—and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.
Don’t forget the clock—or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories (卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12inch plate instead of a 10inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake (摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.
28. The text is especially helpful for those who care about ____________.
A. their home comforts B. their body shape
C. house buying D. healthy diets
29. A home environment in blue can help people ______________.
A. digest food better B. reduce food intake
C. burn more calories D. regain their appetites
30. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?
A. Eat quickly. B. Play fast music.
C. Use smaller spoons. D. Turn down the lights.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Is Your House Making You Fat? B. Ways of Serving Dinner
C. Effects of SelfConsciousness D. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?
【答案】28. B 29. B 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【分析】试题分析:想要减肥,除了少吃外,还和房间有关系。建议有4条:1.房间要明亮;2.用冷色系会减少食欲;3.放一些舒缓的音乐就餐;4. 用小的碗碟。
【28题详解】
B 推理判断题。根据全文第一段Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.可知,这篇文章更可能是对那些在乎自己的体型的人有帮助。故选B。
【29题详解】
B 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句话in one study,…可知在蓝色的房间内人吃的相对较少。故选B。
【30题详解】
C 推理判断题。最后一段介绍,要想少吃,要用小碗小勺,前面介绍说到,吃得快,房间暗会增加饮食,放舒缓的音乐有助于减少饮食的速度和进食量。故选C。
【31题详解】
A主旨大意题。根据开头的后文Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.可知,本文就房间的布置给那些想减肥的人士提了一些建议。所以选A可以更好地概括全文。
考点:科普类短文阅读
D
The common cold is the world’s most widespread illness, which is probably why there are more myths about it than any of the other illnesses.
The most widespread mistake of all is that colds are caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated Arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected (感染的) people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.
At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in Experiments. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be doused (浸入) with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty (通风的) rooms. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.
If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.
No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors (止痛片) such as aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms.
32. What does the fact that the Eskimos don’t suffer colds show?
A. Colds are really full of myths.
B. Viruses are the factors causing colds.
C. Colds are more severe than other illnesses.
D. The idea that cold leads to colds doesn’t stand up.
33. What did the experiments mentioned in Paragraph 3 prove?
A. Being doused with cold water did harm to one’s body.
B. Taking hot baths made the volunteers easy to be tired.
C. It was viruses not wet and cold that made people have colds.
D. People who would like to exercise in the rain got colds more easily.
34. Why are colds commonly seen in winter, according to the passage?
A. Staying together indoors makes it easier for viruses to pass on.
B. People are usually weak because of the extreme cold in winter.
C. Viruses can go into people’s warm bodies more easily in winter.
D. There is great difference between indoor and outdoor temperature.
35. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The myths about colds. B. The experiments on colds.
C. The continued spread of common colds. D. The reason and the way people catch colds.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文通过大量实验和实例来证明,普通的感冒不是由寒冷引起的,而是由病毒感染引起的。冷会让很多人在室内的时间更长,更容易传播病菌。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第五句If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever.可知,如果感冒是寒冷引起的话,那么有理由认为爱斯基摩人将永远遭受感冒之苦。根据常识可知,爱斯基摩人并没有永远得感冒,这说明感冒不是因为寒冷引起的。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.可知,没有一个志愿者患感冒,除非感冒病毒真的被滴进了他的鼻子里。由此可知,实验证明是病毒而不是湿冷的空气让人感冒。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第二句One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.可知,科学家给出的一种解释是,与其他时候相比,人们在寒冷的天气里更倾向于呆在室内,这使得感冒病毒更容易传播。由此可知,人们在冷天更容易得感冒是因为经常一起待在室内,病毒更容易传播。故选A。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。阅读全文可知,本文通过大量实验和实例来证明,普通的感冒不是由寒冷引起的,而是由病毒感染引起的。由此可知,The reason and the way people catch colds.(人们感染感冒的原因和方式)能够概括本文主旨。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,强调了狗作为人类最好的朋友所具有的忠诚、勇敢和多功能性。
【56题详解】
考查冠词的用法。句意:狗身上最吸引人的一个特质就是它对主人的忠诚。根据most attractive quality以及句意可以判断,这个句子使用了最高级,most attractive前用定冠词the限定。故填The。
【57题详解】
考查介词的用法。句意:当它们处于危险中时,它们永远不会离开我们。be in danger是固定搭配,表示“处于危险中”。故填in。
【58题详解】
考查时态。句意:例如,有一个非常生病的人,他的狗不停地叫,直到救援队到达。arrive在until引导的时间状语从句中充当谓语,根据主句was和barked判断,句子时态为一般过去时,故arrive也应该变成过去式,故填arrived。
【59题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:此外,狗是强壮的动物,它们会保护我们。空格处引导定语从句修饰先行词animals,在从句中充当主语,可以使用that或which引导。故填that/which。
【60题详解】
考查形容词的比较级。句意:有狗的房子被认为比那些有防盗警报器的房子更安全。根据than以及句意可知,此处需要使用形容词的比较级,safe的比较级是safer。故填safer。
【61题详解】
考查并列连词的用法。句意:它们不仅会阻止小偷,而且还会防范火灾。此处需要填入一个并列连词来连接两个并列的分句,根据上文的not only判断,这里应该填入but,就可以构成not only…but (also)…的固定句型,其中also可以省略。故填but。
【62题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:例如,发生了一场严重的火灾,一只狗设法将其主人拉出来。横线前有manage,其用法是manage to do,意思是“设法做成……”,故填to pull。
【63题详解】
考查副词的用法。句意:最后,狗可以被人训练。finally是副词,表示“最后”,在这里修饰整个句子。故填finally。
【64题详解】
考查物主代词的用法。句意:例如,它们可以用鼻子找到毒品、尸体、非法DVDs,并追踪逃犯。此处需要填入一个形容词性物主代词来修饰名词nose,their是they的形容词性物主代词,符合句意。故填their。
【65题详解】
考查复数。句意:总之,狗真的很友好、文明和忠诚。伙伴。句子的主语是dogs,复数形式,横线在句中充当表语,也应该使用复数形式。故填partners。

66. 50岁时,她发现自己失业了,困在家里,只有电脑相伴。(汉译英)
______________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】At age 50, she found herself out of work and stuck at home with only her computer to keep her company.
【解析】
【详解】考查介词短语、动词短语和时态。根据句意以及句子结构可知,表示“50岁时”应为介词短语At age 50,表示“发现”为动词find,后接介词短语表示“失业”out of work为宾语补足语;表示“困在家里”应为动词短语stick at home;表示“只有电脑相伴”应为介词短语with only her computer to keep her company;结合句意可知,该句应为陈述过去发生的事情,为一般过去时。故翻译为:At age 50, she found herself out of work and stuck at home with only her computer to keep her company.

________________________________________________
【答案】The peaceful landscape of the “Emerald Isle” and its many green counties is a true feast for the eyes, with its rolling green hills dotted with sheep and cattle.
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查形容词、名词和with复合结构和动词时态。“绿宝石岛”可以翻译为Emerald Isle,“风光宁静秀美”表示为the peaceful landscape,用形容词修饰名词,“郡县草木葱茏”表示为its many green counties,many修饰名词复数,和前面的风光是并列主语,“堪称一场名副其实的视觉盛宴”表示事实用一般现在时,翻译为is a feast for the eyes,true作定语修饰feast,“青山连绵起伏,牛羊点缀其中”用with+宾语+宾补表示,宾语是its rolling hills,宾补是“点缀着”dotted with,表示状态,介词后用sheep and cattle做宾语,故翻译为The peaceful landscape of the “Emerald Isle” and its many green counties is a true feast for the eyes, with its rolling green hills dotted with sheep and cattle。
68. 非常荣幸来到这里与大家分享音乐是如何影响了我的人生。(汉译英)
【答案】It’s an honor to be here and share with you how music has influenced my life.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型、非谓语动词、宾语从句和时态。“非常荣幸……”用固定句型It’s an honor to do...表示,其中it是形式主语,不定式作真正的主语;“来到这里”和“与大家分享音乐是如何影响了我的人生”是并列关系,用并列连词and连接,分别用不定式to be here和to share with you how music has influenced my life表示;“to share with you how music has influenced my life”中不定式符号可以省略,其中“how music has influenced my life”是宾语从句,表示过去的事情对现在的影响,使用了现在完成时态。故翻译为It’s an honor to be here and share with you how music has influenced my life.
69. 即使在她的弥留之际,她最后惦念的仍然是他人。(汉译英)
________________________________________________
【答案】Even as she lay dying, her final thoughts were for others.
【解析】
【详解】考查动词、形容词、状语从句和名词。根据句意,该句描述的是过去发生的事情,所以使用一般过去时,表示“即使”应为even,位于句首,首字母需大写,“在她弥留之际”为as引导的时间状语从句,表示“弥留”也就是“躺着处于将死的状态”,应为 lie dying,其中dying为形容词作状语,与主语she之间为主动关系,用于一般过去时,所以,“即使在她的弥留之际”应译为Even as she lay dying,表示“她最后惦念”应为her final thoughts作主语,表示“是”应为be动词,用于一般过去时,主语是名词复数,所以谓语为were,表示“他人”应为others,所以,主句应译为her final thoughts were for others。故翻译为Even as she lay dying, her final thoughts were for others.
70. 对于一个人来说,没有什么比他们的生命更加珍贵了。(汉译英)
【答案】To a person, nothing is more precious than their life.
