A

I live in a city, and I like quiet life. I hate nosy (爱管闲事的) neighbors but it’s very unlucky that I had one for myself. They moved in a couple of months ago and although I never felt that they were a strange family, I’ve always hated the way they get “too close” to me, my house, my garden, and even my garbage cans.

One day, my neighbors were mowing their lawn (草坪). My garbage cans were near their lawn. For some strange reason, I found the wife looking through my garbage cans. I felt angry but since they were from a different culture, I thought that maybe it was “normal” from their ideas.

That afternoon, the couple knocked on my front door. When I opened, they gave me a plastic bag. Inside were my old daily bills, credit cards and bank statements, and an old birthday card that my old uncle sent. They said that they were returning them to me because these documents contained very private information that may be used by others.

I’ve heard of it before. I asked them how those documents can be used by others and they started

telling me their very own experience, which forced them to leave their home and move next door to us. The wife told me that she never destroyed the bills. They also had a “nosy neighbour” who looked through their garbage cans which they actually thought was pretty strange. Little did they know that this “nosy neighbor” was collecting their personal information from their rubbish. Then all their money was taken out from the bank by their neighbor.

It was a very painful experience for all of them and they wanted to leave it all behind so they left. I was very thankful. They were not nosy neighbors. They simply didn’t want us to experience the same thing that they did.

What can you imagine the life 100 years from now? In fact, no one can know it from now, but scientists studying the evolution of the society, human life and the world in general make such kind of predictions based on scientific data. According to their publications in scientific journals, let’s see how the world might look like in 100 years from now.

Embedded computers

According to predictions by Ian Pearson and Patrick Tucker, by 2050 the human body will be embedded2 with computers, at least in a big part of the population, and by 2075 most of the citizens of the developed world will have some kind of chips built in their brains to make them work faster and share thoughts in the form of computer data.

Superhuman geniuses

Developments in genetic engineering will create human geniuses who will live forever. Does it sound unbelievable? It is sure that there will be a way to influence the brain to increase the intelligence level and with the help of genetics it will be possible to maintain human body for many years.

Global currency

According to futurists, it is very likely that a global electronic currency will be created. They say that the local and national currencies will be few until mid-century and will gradually disappear, let alone metal currencies.

Three world languages

There will be only three world languages: English, Spanish and Chinese. Other languages will have no chance to survive through time. Futurists say that many minority languages are already extinct and the fact that all educated people in the world speak at least one of these languages will help in this way.

Oceans as a food source

It is one of the most “confident” future developments, according to scientists, because if the world population continues growing at the same rate, it will reach ten billion. So the food will not be enough. Thus the oceans will be used to raise fish and to provide populations with fresh water taken from the sea plants.

Journeys into space

Most futurists agree on this and believe that some kind of tourist attractions will be created in space, although they will be affordable only for wealthy people.

5. Why will there be only English, Spanish and Chinese according to the passage?

A. Because other languages won’t be important.

B. Because people who speak minority languages won’t be willing to speak their native languages.

C. Because more and more educated people speak English, Spanish and Chinese, which will cause many minority languages extinct

D. Because in the whole world all the people must not speak other languages.

6. What currency can we use to buy goods in the future from the passage?

A. local currencyB. metal currency

C. national currency D. global electronic currency

7. The main idea about the passage is about .

A. what the people look like 100 years from now .

B. what the life of people is like 100 years from now.

C. what the environment is like 100 years from now.

D. what the culture is like100 years from now.

C

Exams appeared long time ago and it is a way of picking out excellent ones .All taking exams want to win. So exam cheatings always go hand in hand. Taking exams in a large group setting can be stressful for students and for the staff members who are watching over them. When classrooms are crowded and desks are close together, cheating might be tempting.

Many organizations took measures to stop cheating. Not long ago one university in Thailand came up with an anti-cheating hat that makes it almost impossible for students to see other students’ papers. The hats were made by stapling two pieces of paper onto a headband, one to each side of the head.

This caused many students annoyed. A photo of the students wearing the anti-cheating hats made its way to the internet, and the university was also criticized for making students wear those ridiculous looking homemade hats.

After being criticized, senior academic staff at Kasetsart University in Bangkok, Thailand, released a statement saying that the hats idea came from students. They said that in a bid to prevent cheating they asked the students for ideas on how to prevent cheating in the upcoming exam, which was being taken by almost one hundred students. Students came up with different ideas, then the paper hat idea was

selected by them as the most fit. The university claims that no-one was forced to use the hat, but they all chose to do so. “When wearing the hat during the exam, students felt more relaxed,” a lecturer at the university ,Nattadon Rungruangkitkrai, said. “It was not meant to indicate that Kasetsart students often cheat on exams. I apologize if the photo makes other people look at my students in a negative way,’ Rungruangkitkrai added.

8. That the university was criticized on the Internet is because?

A. The homemade anti-cheating hat looked too simple.

B. Wearing the anti-cheating hat made students look ridiculous.

C.Wearing the anti-cheating hats couldn’t prevent students from cheating in the exam.

D. The university forced students to wear the anti-cheating hat.

9. What’s most of the Kasetsart University students’ attitude towards the cheating hat?

A. careless B. objective C. negative D. supportive

10. From the passage we can infer that_______.

A. Wearing the anti-cheating hat is effective in some degree.

B. Some students are forced to wear the anti-cheating hat.

C. It’s useless wearing the anti-cheating hat in the exam.

D. Kasetsart students are often caught cheating in the exam.

11. What is the best title of the passage?

A. influence about anti-cheating hats of Kasetsart University, Thailand B. pressure about anti-cheating hats of Kasetsart University, Thailand

C. measures about anti-cheating hats of Kasetsart University, Thailand

D. supports of anti-cheating hats of Kasetsart University, Thailand

The World Wide Web is so common and popular that not a day goes by when we don?t use the World Wide Web. Today it has become almost as important to every family as food and water! This year, the World Wide Web has turned 25 years old. What many people don?t know is that the web was at first created to improve communication between thousands of scientists in Switzerland.

In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee was a 34-year-old British physicist working as a software engineer at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Switzerland. Since CERN was a huge organization with thousands of scientists, communication between them was becoming increasingly difficult.

Berners-Lee wanted to develop a system to solve the problem. His paper suggested an information system, where a page on one computer could have a link to another page on another computer (connected through the Internet), allowing scientists to read lots of information quickly. However, Berners-Lee?s boss said that it sounded exciting but impossible.

Even though there were many difficulties and few supporters, Berners-Lee went on to develop the World Wide Web. He came up with ideas such as Hyper-text Transfer Protocol (超文本传输协议) to allow computers to talk to each other, Hyper-text Markup Language (HTML) to create the pages, a server to serve the pages, and a browser (浏览器) to see them.

In December 1990, the World Wide Web was demonstrated (展示) and in 1991, the WWW project was made public, so that other programmers could develop their own browsers. Berners-Lee believed that it could be used for more than scientific purposes. He wanted the Internet to be easy for anyone to use — a free open

software. His wishes soon came true.

Although the World Wide Web has today turned into a completely different thing from what it meant at first, it has become necessary and important to our lives, powering our mobile technologies and the way we get information.

4. The World Wide Web was created to _____.

A. help people get information easily and quickly

B. support the development of mobile technologies

C. improve communication between scientists at CERN.

D. make it easier for British scientists to communicate

5. As for Berners-Lee?s paper, his boss _____.

A. felt puzzled about it B. showed no interest in it

C. was certain about it D. had no confidence in it

6. According to the text, Berners-Lee _____.

A. doesn?t give up easily when in trouble

B. is a 55-year-old Swiss physicist

C. has worked at CERN for 25 years

D. knows little about the Internet

7. What would be the best title for the text?

A. The popularity of the web.

B. Interview with Tim Berners-Lee.

C. Tips on improving the website.

D. World Wide Web turns 25!

C

As was often the case, if you saw another kid ride her bike too fast around a corner and fall down, you might ride your bike more slowly on that turn. Yes, we humans are very sensitive to others? mistakes. And the same is true for other animals. Animals mess up all the time. They might eat poisonous leaves, fall off a tree or let their prey(猎物) slip away. By watching others fail, an animal can avoid making the same mistakes, thus improving its chance of survival.

Scientists suspected that one part of the brain helps animals process information about

others? errors. Cells in that part appear to become more active when a person sees someone else making a mistake. But researchers didn?t know whether individual cells in this part of the brain play different roles in detecting errors.

To investigate the brain?s response to errors in more detail, the researchers taught a game to two macaques, a type of monkey. One monkey could press a yellow or green button while the other watched. If the first monkey pressed the right button, the team gave both animals a treat. Every couple of rounds, the two monkeys switched roles. Meanwhile, the scientists monitored individual cells in the animal?s brains.

When the first monkey messed up the game by pressing the wrong button, a group of cells in the second monkey?s brain fired. But if the second monkey also made the wrong choice during its turn, some of the cells in that group didn?t respond. Those uesponsive cells reacted specifically to mistakes made by others, not to the monkey?s own mistakes.

Scientists believe other parts of the brain also might help people process information about another?s errors. “You start to think about this other person and see things from his angle.” Ellen de Bruijn told Science News. She studies the brain at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands.

8. According to Paragraph l, animals? ability to learn from others? mistakes _____.

A. used to be ignored by humans

B. helps them to survive better

C. is being lost because of humans

D. ensures that they will never fail

9. From the game the scientists taught to two macaques, we can see _______.

A. animals can avoid the same mistakes

B. which part of the brain is more active

C. how the brain responds to mistakes

D. how the brain processes information

10. In the experiment mentioned, those uesponsive cells are only sensitive to ___.

A. others? mistakes B. the same buttons

C. one?s own mistakesD. the monkey?s brain

11. What?s the main idea of the passage?

A. Animals can learn from mistakes like human beings.

B. An interesting experiment by scientists surprised us.

C. Monkeys can avoid making mistakes by learning from us.

D. The brain cells are always sensitive to others? information.

D

Recently,the word ??selfie” often appears in our life and some articles

state that the word ??selfie” has become one of the most annoying words.

But I?d like to offer that maybe it is not so bad. The “selfie” is used to

describe the self-taken photo, often from a smartphone. Women and men

decorate their Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts with these

pictures, sometimes with puckered (翘起) lips or large smiles. In fact, the selfie has become so widely known that over 31 million photos on Instagram are taken with the selfie.

Let?s think about it. Someone takes about 10 selfies each time they do, and they only end up posting one or two of those. They pick the one that makes them look the best. Isn?t that beautiful? In that one picture, someone has given himself or herself confidence. Self-image is important. In society today, we are so often consumed with what society tells us is perfect. But maybe, with that one selfie, we feel that we fit that bill. We feel handsome, beautiful, confident, smart, happy and content. For that moment, everything bad or terrible that has ever happened to us is erased, because that smile or that pucker is what gives us the determination to love ourselves.

I saw a spoken word poem recently and the young man said: If I ask you what you love, the answers will most likely roll off your tongue. You love to read. You love to write. You love birds, music, your mom, your brother, your sister, your daughter, your best friend, your dog. How long do you think you could go on and on before you said “I love myself”?

That statement hit me like a ton of bricks. I?ve struggled with confidence all of my life. I still do. And in no way am I saying that taking a selfie is a gateway to that

confidence.

Hoverboards are quite convient for people to carry or ride on the busy street, especially in college camps, more and more students choose to ride a hoverboard to class.

So hoverboards(电动滑板)were among the most popular Christmas gifts of 2015. They may have also been most dangerous gifts of 2015.

A true hoverboard looks like a skateboard without wheels. To “hover” means to float 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 standard 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?

’A. They dont have wheels.B.They are difficult to handle.

’C. They catch fire in the sun. D.They cant move in any direction.

13.We can infer from the passage that _____ .

A. hoverboards are still enjoying equal popularity as before.

B. hoverboards are still sold on Amazon in the United States.

C. passengers are forbidden to get on planes with hoverboards.

D. the number of hoverboard-related injuries is declining.

14.The underlined word “defective” in the sixth paragraph probably means _____.

A. dead B. faulty C. dryD. spare

15.We can probably read this passage in a ____ .

A. science fiction B. magazine C.newspaper D.moviereview

Everyone has his idol, so do I. I admire my father. He was a highly educated, intelligent gentleman. He could debate or discuss for hours on almost any topic and hold your21in the process. I thought there was nothing he wasn’t22to do.

A few days before my younger brother’s 7th birthday, Dad planned to assemble(装配)a new 23as a special birthday surprise. After nearly an hour of24the instructions, Dad was still unable to25the new bike together. Later he26the paper of instructions,27 up his tool box, and decided to take the bike back to the local toy store and pay extra28 to have it correctly assembled there.29an idea came to him, as he called out to Lovett, the quiet little man who cut our grassland.

“Lovett, have you ever assembled a boy’s bicycle?” As Lovett walked towards the bike, Dad handed him the30 . Lovett handed it back to him, saying, “No, thanks. I can’t read.
