第二部分 阅读理解（共两节， 满分40分） A
If you need to spend time on the road，it’s important to find ways to keep safe on your feet. Don’t suppose it's your right of way. Yes, you might be crossing at the right place, at the right time, within the crosswalk area, but you are still exposed to danger. It could be a distracted driver, or a cyclist with a loose sense of traffic rules, so you could still get hurt. You can be in the right legally, but that won’t be much help when you're in the hospital.
Follow pedestrian signals. Just as drivers aren’t supposed to speed up to beat a light when crossing through an intersection, pedestrians need to take the same care when obeying their own signals. If the hand is flashing and the countdown is into single digits (数字），stay where you are. Trying to outrun the flashing hand is unsafe，especially as cars try to clear the intersection before the light turns red.
Give drivers enough time to stop when crossing. Don’t suppose that drivers will jam on their brakes when you hit the crosswalk signals. Some provinces, such as Alberta, issue (发出）a ticket if you don’t give drivers enough time to brake.
Cross quickly. Once you’ve followed all of the other rules, and it is safe to cross the street, don’t then just wander along in front of six lanes (车道）of traffic. There’s no need to run or jog, but respect the drivers who respected you enough to stop for you.
21. Who is the text intended for?
A. Drivers. B. Cyclists. C. Police. D. Pedestrians.
22. What does the underlined word “distracted” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Considerate. B. Strange. C. Kind-hearted. D. Absent-minded.
23. In what case would pedestrians in Alberta be fined?
A. Racing against time with drivers.
B. Following crosswalk signals.
C. Crossing the crosswalk area.
D. Walking outside six lanes.
24. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Rules for Traffic Police
B. Tips to Keep Safe on Your Feet
C. Things Every Driver Should Know
D. Signals for Both Pedestrians and Drivers
B At primary school in New Zealand, I was introduced to a school savings account run by one of the local banks. When our money box was full, we took it to the bank and watched with pride as our coins flowed across the counter. As a reward，we could choose our next money box from a small variety, and start the whole savings routine again. Every week I watched my parents sort out the housekeeping and “make ends meet”. Sometimes it was annoying to wait for things we really felt we needed.
Later, as a university student, I managed on an extremely small student allowance. Students were ignored by banks then, because we were so poor, and there was no way I could have gotten credit, even if I had tried. We collected our allowance three times each year, deposited it to the best advantage and withdrew it little by little to last until the next payout of the allowance.
When our daughter, Sophie, began to walk, we made a purposeful choice to encourage her to use money wisely. We often comment when the TV tells us “You owe it to yourself to borrow our money"—to whom do we really owe it? And what would happen if our income were reduced or dried up? Now, as a 12-year-old child, it’s almost embarrassing to see her tight “financial policy”，and wait for the unavoidable holiday sales to buy what she wants.
I agree that financial education in schools is very important. But the root of the problem lies with us and the way we behave as role models to those who follow.
25. What did the author learn from her parents?
A. How to become a banker. B. Where to open a savings account. C. Where to choose a money box. D. How to make ends meet.
A. He applied for a credit card.
B. He spent it three times a year. C. He put it in the bank. D. He seldom withdrew it.
A. Reducing her savings.
C. Canceling holiday plans.
28. What’s the text mainly about?
A. Parents，money problems.
C. Children’s saving behavior. B.Students' school performance. D. Children’s financial education. B. Buying things on sales. D. Borrowing money from banks. 26. How did the author manage the student allowance? 27. What reflects Sophie’s tight “financial policy”？
In the past, friendships were greatly limited by time, space and attention； increasing home and workplace mobility has made it even harder to keep social relations over time. Through a combination of user controls, new technologies and changing standards of social behavior, Facebook is freeing us from these limitations, making friendships more accessible, pleasant and diverse than ever before.
First, Facebook allows you to find and rediscover friends and then reminds you of these connections, so that you are less likely to fall out of touch with the long-lost school friend, or the family member in a different country. 'Second, Facebook creates an environment that allows you to interact easily with others ： you can share your photos，videos，links and thoughts with your friends， and respond to what they share in turn. Third, Facebook’s unique technical system helps you to discover your friends，most valuable stories. These technologies allow people to keep and enrich friendships that they might otherwise have been unable to keep.
The effect of this is very great. A recent study by Keith Hampton for the Pew Internet and American Life Project discovered that users of social networking websites have larger, more diverse social circles, online and offline. This outcome comes at no cost to one’s closest relationships, which are kept in person and over the phone. Instead, the hour that the average user spends each day socializing on Facebook comes at the expense of less social activities, such as the three or so hours a day the average person spends watching television.
Time may limit our ability to keep social ties, but our desire for social communication is limitless. Just as boats have allowed us to cross oceans and vehicles have allowed us to move mountains, Facebook is a tool that allows us to stay more deeply connected with a larger and more diverse set of friends.
29. What can you do with the help of Facebook according to the text?
A. Protect the environment.
B. Find a new house or workplace.
C. Rediscover long-lost classmates.
D. Change the behavior towards your friends.
30. What will social networking websites do?
A. Increase the diversity of social relations.
B. Share the hours of watching television.
C. Restrict personal friendship.
D. Limit social activities.
31. What is the author's attitude towards Facebook?
A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Approving. D. Curious.
The World Health Organization (WHO) said that processed meat may be carcipogenic(致癌). Do you still dare eat cancer-linked processed meat ? Here are some comments on the website.
Bill (Australia) I’d rather live a short, pleasant life than a long, unhappy one, denying(拒绝给予) myself tasty food just because some experts say it’s not healthy. We should all enjoy the one life we have ---if I had listened to every piece of health advice I would never go anywhere, eat anything or enjoy life in any way. So, I won’t change my habit. I am going to have bacon sandwich, glass of wine, burger, can of coke whenever I fell like it.
Tim (America) Is meat really as bad as smoking: I don’t think so. According to the WHO 34,000 people die worldwide per year because they eat processed meat. In 2012, 8.2 million people died of cancer worldwide. That means if you eat a lot of processed meat you have a chance of being among the 0.41 percent of people dying of cancer because of processed meat. I’ll take the chance.
Helen (Switzerland) The WHO doesn’t say that just one bite of meat causes cancer, it is rather saying that people should vary their diet. People who eat more meat often have other unhealthy habits. They usually eat fewer fruits and vegetables and they also often exercise less.
Van (China) Perhaps this report will make people consider becoming vegetarians ( 素食者). So for your health, the environment and future generations, it is not difficult; it just needs a change of attitude. There is a vast variety of other delicious food available to enjoy.
32. What if Bill has to change his habit ?
A. He’ll feel unhappy.
C. He’ll go on a diet.
A. Too risky.
B. He’ll live a pleasant life. D. He’ll become a vegetarian. B. Fairly safe. D. Very unhealthy. B. Eating whatever she likes. 33. What does Tim think about eating processed meat ? C. Popular worldwide. A. Caring little about it. 34. What may be Helen a response to WHO’s warning ?
C. Varying the diet and doing exercise. D. Taking a diet without meat.
35. Who have the most similar viewpoints ?
A. Bill and Tim.
B. Tim and Helen. D. Bill and Van. C. Helen and Van.

When you’re in high school, it can be difficult to find a job. You may not have much, or any, formal work experience and there aren’t many jobs available for teenagers. However, if you’re looking for a job, there are things you can do to help get your application noticed and help yourself get hired.
Don’t be shy.
Tell everyone you know you are looking for a job. Many jobs aren’t advertised and you may be able to get a good job lead from a friend or family member.
One good way to get experience is to start by working for friends and neighbors. Babysitting, garden work, doing cleaning, and pet sitting all can be included on your resume(简历).
Keep an open mind.
This is a tough market and you may not be able to find a job doing what you want to do. The more flexibility you have, the more opportunities you’ll be able to apply for. Plus, even if the job wasn’t your first choice, it may turn out to be better than you expected.
Check the rules.
There are only certain jobs you can do and hours you can work. The minimum age you can work at paid non-agricultural employment is 14.
Write a resume.
A resume may not be required by employers. Even though you may not have much information to include, a resume shows that you’re serious about your job search.
A. Start close to home.
B. Be always optimistic.
C. You can count on the following chance.
D. Don’t limit yourself to certain types of jobs.
E. But it can help you stand out from the competition.
F. These job search tips will help you get your job search started.
G. Check the Child Labor Law regulations to see how they apply to you.

A
They are the fashion statement loved by hip hop stars and rappers.But now it seems that grilles(金属网罩)—teeth jewellery loved by rappers such as Nelly—are not just about the way you look—you can use them to listen to music，too.
A design student has created a way of using the jewellery mouthpiece to hear songs by means of “bone conduction” through your skull.Aisen Chacin，of Parsons The New School for Design in New York，attached a vibrating(振动)motor to a digital music player and connected it to a mold(模子)of her upper teeth.She also placed controls on the underside so users can change songs or increase the volume by pushing up with your tongue.When the music starts，the vibration is strong enough that the music can be heard clearly—without the need for headphones.If the sound being played is loud enough，others can even hear it apparently coming out of your teeth.A video posted on YouTube shows one of Chacin's friends sitting down with the motor in his mouth and his hands in his ears.He didn't believe his eyes when he heard the music.
Grilles were made popular by the song by rapper Nelly even though dentists have made warnings against them.They say jewellery materials like gold or diamonds can wear down the enamel(牙釉质)on your teeth and that grilles should not be worn. Chacin showed her device，called Play-A-Grill，at the New Interfaces for Musical Expression conference last week.She said，“Grilles are almost always made of precious metal.They are completely removable，and almost used as a grill.Because the grill is worn over the teeth，sound can be spread using bone conduction hearing 1

卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Do successful businessmen need an office? Increasingly the answer seems to be no.
Chris Ward, author of the book Out of Office explains how President Barack Obama’s first
inauguration (就职) speech was written by 27-year-old Jon Favreau sitting in Starbucks (星巴克);
how Richard Tait, creator of Cranium, started the board game in a coffee shop; how Michael Acton
Smith invented the children’s virtual world Moshi Monsters in his local Caffè Nero; and how JK
Rowling, the novelist behind Harry Potter, believes a café is the best place to write.
It is a convincing view, and for basic start-ups it makes much more sense to work from home
and public spaces such as cafés than renting an expensive office. Offices are hard to find, costly to
decorate and involve much tiring administration. Moreover, by staying independent you avoid the
misery（痛苦） of a daily commute(往返上下班), which for many is the worst part of a job.
Thanks to mobile communications, WiFi and cloud storage, together with the increasing
heavy-duty equipment such as photocopiers, fax machines and desktop PCs, the traditional office is
becoming redundant(多余的) for many sorts of organizations and workers. Of course, factory
managers, surgeons, chefs and industrial chemists are still tied to special locations. But many of us –
from software engineers and copywriters to architects and fashion designers – can operate almost
anywhere. That freedom, and a willingness to adapt, can make one’s career more enjoyable and,
sometimes, more efficient.
21. The second paragraph mainly wants to tell us__________.
A. Obama didn’t write his inauguration speech by himself
B. People don’t have to work in an office
C. A café is the best place to write
D. Many writers like to write in a coffee shop
22. Which of the following careers is tied to special locations?
A. Software engineers. B. Copywriters. C. Surgeons. D. Fashion designers.
23. The traditional office is becoming redundant due to the following EXCEPT_____.
A. mobile communications
B. WiFi and cloud storage
C. heavy-duty equipment
D. the misery of a daily commute
24. What can we infer from the text?
A. Many people hate commuting daily.
B. The tradition office will no longer exist.
C. Working in public places will reduce efficiency.
D. Chefs can work anywhere.
B
The ruins of Moore, Oklahoma, a town destructed for the fourth time in 14 years by a major
tornado（龙卷风）, are a reminder that current building codes(规范) can’t do much to prevent
property destruction and loss of life, especially when a powerful tornado cuts through town. But
the total death number can be reduced when people take shelter in underground storm bunkers（碉
堡）and hardened safe rooms.
The tornado that carved a path of destruction through Moore took 24 lives. Its winds were
clocked at 400 kilometers per hour. With only 15 minutes’ warning, residents fled town or took
refuge（避难）in the firmest corners of their homes. The luckiest were able to climb into shelters or
move to safe rooms.
In Moore those rooms saved lives. But at two schools destroyed by Monday's tornado, no such
shelter was available. Leslie Chapman Henderson is CEO of a non-profit group called the Federal
Alliance for Safe Homes. She's an advocate for tornado safe rooms.
“The safe room is an interior（内部）room of the home that has been reinforced（加固）and
high wind. In fact, we’ve already heard of stories of survival of people who were in safe rooms, either above or below ground,” she said.
Better storm forecasts give people more time to react. But they need someplace safe to go. Buildings can be built to resist strong winds, but not like those in the F-5 tornado that touched down in Moore. Chapman Henderson says even the building codes that do exist are not widely adopted or enforced.
As its residents prepare to rebuild, Moore’s mayor is pushing for an order to make safe rooms compulsory in all new construction. Similar proposals were made following each of the previous tornado strikes, but none were adopted.
25. According to Chapman Henderson, which of the following does she probably agree with?
A. Building codes make a difference in preventing property destruction.
B. If people take shelter in safe rooms, nobody will die.
C. It is urgent to build tornado safe rooms.
D. Safe rooms can be built only underground.
26. What can we infer from the text?
A. Moore has gone through tornado 4 times in total.
B. Chapman Henderson is Moore’s mayor.
C. Monday's tornado took 24 lives at two schools.
D. The Moore’s proposal might not be approved.
27. The underlined word “withstand ” in paragraph 4 probably means________.
A. oppose B. resist C. prevent D. defeat
C
Blind tasting is a very strange activity. Contrary to what many imagine, it has nothing to do with blindfolds. It involves tasting a wine without seeing the label and it can deliver shocking surprises. I tasted seven champagnes(香槟) blind with a group of professionals recently. There was a shock when they discovered the wine most of them preferred carried a label they regarded as their least favorite. That sort of result is especially common with champagne, the most image-driven rather than quality-driven wine of all. But it happens all the time when wine is tasted blind.
Because I’m interested in how wines really taste instead of how I think they should, I taste wine blind as often as I can, especially when assessing similar young wines. But blind tasting when you know absolutely nothing about the wine in front of you is something completely different. The most difficult Master of Wine exams include three sessions during which you have a dozen glasses in front of you and nothing more helpful than a printed exam paper asking you to identify (鉴定) each wine as closely as possible, and assess its quality.
Now that the MW is behind me, I taste wine completely blind only very rarely, and never in public. So my blind tastings these days are round the dinner table with good friends and once a year when I act as a judge, with Hugh Johnson, in the Oxford v Cambridge wine-tasting competition. This is the most extraordinary match, always held before the Boat Race but taken just as seriously nowadays. This year’s taste-off took place at the end of last month, as usual in the Oxford and Cambridge Club on Pall Mall in London.
28. Which of the following is true about Blind tasting?
A. Blind tasting is the professional way to identify a wine.
B. Blind tasting usually has the right result.
C. Blind tasting means tasting a wine with one’s eyes covered.
D. Blind tasting is tasting a wine without seeing the label.
29. Why did the professionals get shocked at the result of their blind tasting?
A. They got all the results correctly.
B. They didn’t recognize their favorite at all.
C. The writer made no mistakes.
D. Champagnes can not be tasted blind.
30. Which of the following interests the writer most?
A. Assessing young wines. B. Master of wine exams.
C. Tasting wine blind in public. D. Oxford v Cambridge wine-tasting competition.
31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The Boat Race is taken more seriously than the wine race.
B. The Oxford v Cambridge wine-tasting competition is held annually.
C. I didn’t act as a judge last year.
D. Pall Mall is chosen as the competition place for the first time.
D
Bangkok has become the world's top tourist destination, with 15.98 million visitors projected to visit Thailand's capital city this year, according to the third annual Global Destination Cities Index released by MasterCard on Monday. Based on data MasterCard collected from governments, central banks, related public agencies and airlines so far this year, the projection (预测) for the entire year says Bangkok is surpassing（超过）London, the previous holder of the top place, by a very narrow margin.
Monday's report marked the first time any Asian city has been projected to be the top-ranked tourist destination. London came in second, with 15.96 million visitors expected in 2013, and Paris, third, with 13.92 million visitors. MasterCard looked at 132 cities.
Other Asian cities that made it to the Top-20 Global Destination Cities in 2013 include Singapore at number four, with 11.75 million visitors; Kuala Lumpur at number eight, with 9.2 million visitors; Hong Kong at number nine, with 8.72 million visitors; Seoul at number 11, with 8.19 million visitors; Shanghai at number 14, with 6.5 million visitors, Tokyo at number 16, with 5.8 million visitors, and Taipei, with 5.19 million visitors.
The study found that Bangkok is experiencing a large increase in its number of tourists in 2013, up 9.8% from 2009. That compares to New York's increase at 5.0% and London's at 3.8%. Paris, meanwhile, saw a small dip in its number of tourists (negative 0.7%).
Caroline Lledo, who was visiting Bangkok from France, said Thailand has many offerings. “We like culture and the people are so nice. We also love shopping here,” Ms. Lledo said. MasterCard Worldwide's global economic adviser Yuwa Hedrick-Wong cited（引用）overall value for money spent for why Bangkok is attractive. That is true for Thailand overall as well.
32. From the passage we can know that___________.
A. Bangkok defeated London by a wide margin

My 16-year-old son, Anton, had gone to the local swimming hole．Most of the kids swim there, and there are plenty of rocks for them to use as safe harbors, so I had no fears for his safety．
Still, the firefighter's first words "You need to come up here to the Stillwater River" made me catch my breath, and his follow-up words gave me relief: ― Your son is OK．‖
When I got to the river, I immediately saw the fire truck, ambulance and Anton, wrapped with a towel about his shoulders, sitting quietly on a low platform of the fire engine．
I hurried over to him. "You OK?"I asked．
―Yeah," was all he said．But my eyes begged for an explanation. I didn't get it from my son, The story was this: A woman was being swept under water. Hearing the cries, Anton and his friend Tyler, without hesitation, swam out to her, and brought her safely to shore．
In an age in which the word "hero" is broadcast with abandon and seemingly applied to anyone who make it through the day, I realized the real thing in my son．The teens are stubborn and self-centred, but that didn't mean they have no desire to do good．
Still shocked by my son's daring, I drove him home．Along the way, I tried to dig out some more information from him - but he had precious little to say．The only words he said were,
―What's for supper?"
I spent some time alone that evening, thinking about the tragedy that might have been. The next morning, when Anton got up, I half wanted him to tell me the story．But all he did was toast some bread, pull himself together, and head for the door to start a new day. Watching from the window, I was reminded that still water often runs deep．

The bed should be reserved as a place for sleep, but people tend to read an iPad a lot in bed before they go to sleep.
Charles Czeisler, a professor at Harvard Medical School, and his colleagues got a small group of people for an experiment. For five days in a row, the people read either a paper book or an iPad for four hours before sleep. Their sleep patterns were monitored all night. Before and after each trial period, the people took hourly blood tests to paint a day-long picture of just how much melatonin (褪黑激素) was in their blood at any given time.
When subjects read on the iPad as compared to the paper books, they reported feeling less sleepy at night and less active the following morning. People also took longer to fall asleep on the iPad nights, and the blood tests showed that their melatonin secretion (分泌) was delayed by an hour and a half.
The researchers conclude in today's journal article that given the rise of e-readers and the increasingly widespread use of e-things among children and adolescents, more research into the long-term consequences of these devices on health and safety is urgently needed. Czeisler and colleagues go on, in the research paper, to note：“Reading an iPad in bed may increase cancer risk.”
However, software has been developed that can reduce some of the blue light from the screens of phones and computers according to time of day, and there are also glasses that are made to filter (过滤) short wavelengths. While they seem like a logical solution for the nighttime tech users, it needs more research.
28. In Charles Czeislers experiment, all the subjects were asked to______.
A. sit in a row and receive the strict tests
B. have their sleep patterns observed all night
C. read a paper book and an iPad at the same time
D. have their blood tested per hour during the trial
29. The third paragraph tells us the iPad readers were likely to____________.
A. feel less sleepy and tired in the day
B. fall asleep more easily after reading
C. become less energetic the next morning
D. have a lot more melatonin secretion
30. The special software recently developed can______.
A. remove the blue light from your devices completely
B. help prevent eyes being harmed by short wavelength
C. weaken the harm done by doing nighttime e-reading
D. be used in all the e-things widely and safely
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. No e-reading in bed before sleep B. New software for night e-readers
C. Wrong behaviors before bedtime D. No games on iPad in bed
D
A bargain is something offered at a low and advantageous price. A more recent definition is: a bargain is a dirty trick to force money out of the pockets of silly and innocent people.
The cost of producing a new - for example - toothpaste would make 80p the proper price for it, so we will market it at £1.20. It is not a bad toothpaste, and as people like to try new

Harper Lee, whose 1961 novel To Kill a Mockingbird on the racial troubles of the American deep south, has died at the age of 89.
Until last year, Lee had been something of a one-book literary legend. To Kill a
Moclangbird sold more than 40 million copies around the world and earned her a Pulitzer prize, remaining a towering presence in American literature. Another novel, Go Seta Watchman, was controversially published in July 2015 as a "sequel" to Mockingbird, though it was later
confirmed to be Mockingbird first draft.
But from the moment Mockingbird was published to almost instant success, the author
consistently avoided public attention. Lee had lived foi several years in a nursinS; home near the house in which she had grown up in Monroeville, Alabama-the setting for Maycomb of her
famous book. H盯 neighbor for 40 years, Sue Sellers, said, "She was such a private person. All she wanted was privacy, but she didn't get much. There was always somebady following her around."
James Naughtie, BBC Books Editor, commented on the novels ofHarper Lee: "I think she stands, particularly among American readers, as someone who shone a light into a very dark place. She was writing at a time when people were beginning to lift the lid on everything in the South which they'd chosen not to understand. That all changed in the 1960s. So I think her status for writing that book in its extraordinarily direct way will remain."
24. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Lee became successful with stories on American south.
B. People owe Lee's success to luck to some degree.
C. Mockingbird makes Lee a wonder in American literature.
D. Mockingbird was a bestseller by selling 40m copies.
25. What does "Maycomb" in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?
A. A nursing home. B. Lee's hometown.
C. A fictional place. D. A main character.
26. Which best describes Americans' attitude towards racial troubles before the 1960s?
A. Tolerant. B. Unconcerned. C, Sympathetic. D. Dissatisfied.
27. What can we learn from the text?
A, Lee based all her stories on her life.
B. Lee had to avoid being followed by her fans.
C. Lee wrote Go Set A Watchman before Mockingbird.
D. Lee lived in the house where she grew up for the whole life.
C
These days, young people in some English-speaking countries are speaking a strange language, especially when communicating on social media.
Look at these words chosen by The Washington Post: "David Bowie dying is totes tradge : and "When Cookie hugged Jamal it made me totes emosh ." Or this sentence: "BAE, let me know if you stay in tonight."
What on earth do they mean? Well, "totes" is a short form of "total if Similarly, "tradge" means "tragic" and "emosh" means "emotional". It seems that, far millennials (千禧一代) , typing in this form is not only time-saving but fashionable.
As you can see, many millennial slangs (俚语) are formed by so-called "totesing"-the systematic abbreviation (缩写 ) of words. The trend might have started with "totally" becoming "totes", but it now has spread to many other English words.
The origins of other millennial slangs are more complex than "totesing". "Bae", for example, has been widely used by African-Americans for years. It can be an expression of closeness with one's romantic partner or, like "sweetheart", for someone without romantic connection. After pop singer Pharrell used the word in his work, "bae" became mainstream. Some people might think millennial slangs lower the value of the English language, but Melboume University linguist(语言学家 )Rosey Billington doesn't agree. She says when people are able to use a language in a creative way, they show that they know the language rules well enough to use words differently. Two other linguists, Lauren Spradlin and Taylor Jones. share the same view. The two analysed hundreds of examples of totes-speak and discovered totesing has complex roots
It isn't simply an adult version of baby talk, nor a clever way to minimize your word count. Rather, it is a highly organized system that relies on a speaker's mastery of English
pronunciation. It is about sounds, follows sound system of English and has strict rules.
28. Why do young people like using e-slangs?
A. They are time-consuming. B. They are in fashion.
C. They are complex. D. They are in order.
29. What's the author's purpose of mentioning "Bae" in Paragraph 5?
A. To suppon that totesing is no baby talk.
B. To analyse the usage of millennial slangs.
C. To inform people how it became mainstream.
D. To explain the complex origins of milleruual slangs.
30. Which statement may Rosey Billington agree with?
A. Totesing is a loosely organized system.
B. Millennial slangs lower the value of English.
C. It's simply a clever way to reduce the word count.
D. Totes-speak requires a good command of English.
31. What's the best title of the passage?
A. E-slangs Catch on Among Youth B. Linguists Disapprove of Totesing
C. Millennial Slangs Take the Lead D. English Has Greatly Changed D
About l.3 billion years ago, two massive black holes hit each other and formed a new one. The energy set free by the collision created a ripple(波纹) in the space-time structure and spread outward in gravitational waves ( 引力波 ) .
Then, on September 14, 2015, a group of scientists discovered the waves. On February 11, an announcement came from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIOO) in the US that, for the very first time, a gravitational wave was directly observed and recorded. "We discovered gravitational waves. We did it," David Reitze, the director of LIGO, said in the press conference on February 11. "It's exactly what Einstein's theory of general relativity predicted:'
Einstein's 1915 theory re-imagined the framework for the universe. According to Einstein, the framework for the universe-or the space-time structure-is not fixed, but changed by
matter and energy "in a way a heavy sleeper causes a mattress to sag (床垫下凹) , producing the effect we call gravity", explains a New York Times article.
"A disturbance in the universe could cause space-time to become larger, break into pieces and even move up and down, like a mattress shaking when that sleeper rolls over, producing ripples of gravity: gravitational waves," explains the article.
Compared with the other three forces in the universe (electromagnetism, the weak nuclear force and the strong nuclear force), gravity is relatively weak, making gravitational waves hard to discover.
The discovery by LIGO would open a new chapter in astronomy. "Everything else in
astronomy is like the eye," Szabolcs Marka, a Columbia University professor, told The New York Times. "Finally, astronomy grew ears. We never had ears before."
32. What is a gravitational wave according to the text?
A. It's a disturbance in the universe. B. It's the crash of the two black holes.
C. It's a ripple in the space-time structure. D. It's an effect caused by energy.
33. Why is the discovery by LIGO important?
A. It proves Einstein's 1915 theory. B. The waves were hard to discover.
C. The waves changed the universe. D. It reshapes the space-time structure.
34. What can we learn from the text?
A. It took LIGO 4 months to confirm the discovery.
B The framework for the universe can be changed
C. One produces gravity because he sleeps heavily
D. There are more than four forces in the universe.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Astronomy calls for more attention.
B. Never before has astronomy achieved much.
C Astronomy is more about what we can hear in space.
D.A better understanding of the universe is made possible.
