16.Not all great meals come from restaurants.Some are served from carts and stalls,and eaten on the go.So-called street food is not only delicious,but can be found in nearly every country,rich or poor,says Carla Diamanti,co-author of Street Food:Authentic Snacks from Around the World."It's a way to get to know the people and the flavor of a place,"says the Italian writer,who has nibbled her way around the globe.She shares some favorite snacks and snacking places with us.
Naples,Italy
Pizza:Pizza may be the closest thing to a global food,but Diamanti says there's nothing like the way it's prepared in Naples.The dish is often ordered from a window counter and quickly baked for customers.If you're eating it on the go,you fold it up for pizza al portafoglio,literally wallet style."Our pizza is quick and simple,"she says.www.inaples.it
New York
Hot dogs:When foreigners first visit America,one of the first things many want to try is the country's typical snack food,the hot dog."It's like the flag of America-both inexpensive and democratic,"Diamanti says."You expect to see kids queuing at a hot dog stall."212-484-1200; www.nycgo.com
Japan
Bento boxes:Diamanti says the best time and place to eat this portable Japanese meal is under a blooming cherry tree in the spring.Bento boxes are filled with different dishes:often fish,meat,pickled vegetables,rice or tofu."It's really just a taste,"she says.While the containers are often elaborate wooden serving trays,they can be also cardboard boxes ordered to go.212-757-5640; www.jnto.go.jp
Jamaa el Fna Square,Marrakech,Morocco
Food stalls:When the sun begins to set,this central square comes to life as crowds gather to sing,dance and eat.Hundreds of stalls serve grilled meat,chicken and rice."There is plenty of smoke with hundreds of people cooking at the same time,"Diamanti says.212-221-1 583; www.visitmorocco.com/index.php/eng/

6.As a child,I loved the natural world.Maybe it had something to do with growing up in a small town.Maybe it was because nature had so many secrets and I was thrilled to be a detective,uncovering them one by one.
    I'm sure that when people from my generation think back to their childhoods,many recall a tree house,family picnics,or a passion for fishing,hunting,or horseback riding.Most of us had an occasional appetite for dirt as we explored backyards and nearby vacant lots.As someone who grew up in such a world,I enthusiastically encourage parents to bring back that happy childhood pastime of letting kids get muddy once in a while.
    I have more than my own experience to show as evidence that this is a good thing:Study after study indicates that children grow up healthier and happier when they experience a direct connection to nature.Just as importantly,those young people are also far more likely to value the natural world when they've developed a connection to it.The need for thishas never been greater than it is today.
    Our natural world is extraordinary in its diversity and complexity,but it's also under tremendous threat.In the past decade,countless tropical rainforests and coral reefs have been lost forever due to human activities,and many more are critically endangered.These areas don't just house animals and plants found nowhere else on the planet; they also provide important economic services that benefit human health.Streams make fresh water clean; forests reduce flooding; tree provide medicines and insects pollinate (給…授粉) crops.The natural world represents an economic backbone for the future of local communities by promoting tourism and local people's livelihoods.
  The damage to the earth's living systems is fast approaching irreversible (不可逆轉(zhuǎn)的)"tipping points,"and although we now have a wealth of technological tools-both to understand the threats and to assist with solutions-there's still no substitute for a connection to the real world when it comes to understanding the complexity of natural systems.
    Besides,establishing a connection between child and nature is one of the best and simplest ways to inspire young people to make good decisions about personal health,climate change,and sustainable (可持續(xù)的) use of natural resources.They need to know what affects the chemistry of the ocean,why tropical rain forests are critical to life in the temperate regions and how millions of years are required to create fossil oil from dead plants.This understanding becomes realest and most meaningful when a person is connected to the natural world.

46.What does the underlined word"this"in Paragraph 3 refer to?C
A.Children developing a connection to the nature.
B.Children growing up healthily and happily.
C.Children valuing the natural world.
D.Children studying and studying.
47.Insects are mentioned in Paragraph 4 to show thatA.
A.humans benefit from nature
B.humans benefit nature in many ways
C.some insects are dangerous to humans
D.some insects are in danger of extinction
48.What can we learn from Paragraph 5?D
A.It is impossible to improve the environment.
B.Natural systems are too complex to understand.
C.Technology can help humans improve the environment.
D.Kids cannot know about the nature without experiencing it.
49.The author writes the passage mainly toD.
A.describe her childhood to the readers
B.encourage readers to protect the nature
C.stress the importance of natural science
D.a(chǎn)dvise parents to let kids experience nature.

4.Teen drivers,be careful:Mum and Dad will soon know exactly how fast and how far you drove their car.And if you don't use the seat belt,don't even think about turning on the stereo,which allows you to listen to the music in your car.
At the 2015New Year International Auto Show,American car maker Chevrolet gives your parents the power to check on your driving.
The"Teen Driver"feature(特征)appears with the 2016Chevrolet Malibu,a new type of mid-size car.
The system is very user-friendly.Parents with a private code(密碼)can pull up a dashboard(儀表板)display,including highest speeds reached and distance driven.
Chevrolet isn't the first car maker to offer such technology.For example,F(xiàn)ord has a similar system called MyKey.But"the industry is moving toward highly developed controls over a teen's driving,"said Andy Gryc,a car technology expert.
Chevrolet said it is a safety need."Teens are more likely to be involved in a car accident,so many parents were asking us to bring something to market that can teach safe driving habits,"said Chevrolet communications manager Chad Lyons.
Teens are three times more likely to die in traffic accidents than grown-ups,according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
Lyons thinks that a big problem is distracted(注意力分散)driving,such as texting or listening to music.
Teens with their friends in the car like to listen to loud music."If the driver and the front passenger aren't wearing their seat belts,the stereo won't turn on,"said Lyons."Parents can also control the level of sound."
If a teen driver goes beyond a certain speed,the car can speak to the driver,warning them of their speed.
"It's a way for parents to feel safe while they're not in the car with their teen,"Lyons said.

25.MyKey is similar to the"Teen Driver"feature because of  itsA.
A.purpose           B.shape        C.quality         D.type
26.How can the feature prevent distracted driving?C
A.By telling teens about their speed.
B.By stopping drivers from texting.
C.By avoiding loud music in the car.
D.By asking people to use seat belts.
27.What is the text mainly about?A
A.A new technology for road safety.
B.An international car show for teens.
C.An unusual kind of stereo safety system.
D.A new type of fast-speed car.

11.Automation refers to the introduction of electronic control and automatic operation of productive machinery.It reduces the human factors,mental and physical,in production,and is designed to make possible the manufacture of more goods with fewer workers.The development of automation in American industry has been called the"Second Industrial Revolution".
Labour's concern over automation arises from uncertainty about the effects on employment,and fears of major changes in jobs.In the main,labour has taken the view that resistance to technical change is unfruitful.Eventually,the result of automation may well be an increase in employment,since it is expected that vast industries will grow up around manufacturing,maintaining,and repairing automation equipment.The interest of labour lies in bringing about the transition with a minimum of inconvenience and distress to the workers involved.Also,union spokesmen emphasize that the benefit of the increased production and lower costs made possible by automation should be shared by workers in the form of higher wages,more leisure,and improved living standards.
To protect the interests of their members in the era of automation,unions have adopted a number of new policies.One of these is the promotion of supplementary unemployment benefit plans.It is emphasized that since the employer involved in such a plan has a direct financial interest in preventing unemployment,he will have a strong drive for planning new installations so as to cause the least possible problems in jobs and job assignments.Some unions are working for dismissal pay agreements,requiring that permanently dismissed workers be paid a sum of money based on length of service.Another approach is the idea of the"improvement factor",which calls for wage increases based on increases in productivity.It is possible,however,that labour will rely mainly on reduction in working hours in order to gain a full share in the fruits of automation.(in no more than 8 words)
78.Automation makes it possible tomanufacture more goods with fewer workers.
79.At first,two things people worried about automation wereeffect on employment and major changes in jobs
80.According to union spokesmen,the workers benefit from automation in terms ofwages,leisure hours and living standards
81.What is the last passage mainly talking about?Union's policy concerning the protection of union members.
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in No More Than Ten Words.)

5.It's 10p.m.You may not know where your child is,but the chip does.
The chip will also know if your child has fallen and needs immediate help.Once doctors arrive,the chip will also be able to tell them which drugs are not suitable for little Jonny or Janie.At the hospital,the chip will tell doctors his or her complete medical history.And of course,when you arrive to pick up your child,setting the hospital bill with your health insurance policy will be a simple matter of waving your own chip  the one embedded(植入) in your hand.
To some,this may sound unbelievable.But the technology for such chips is no longer the stuff of science fiction.And it may soon offer many other benefits besides locating lost children or elderly patients.It could be used as credit cards and people won't have to carry wallets anymore.
On the other hand,some are already wondering what this sort of technology may do to the sense of personal privacy and liberty.
"Any technology of this kind could result in abuse of personal privacy,"says Lee Tien,senior staff lawyer for the Electronic Frontier Foundation."If a kid can be tracked,do you want other people to be able to track your kid?It's a double-edged sword."
Applied Digital Solutions,Inc.in Palm Beach,F(xiàn)lorida,says it has recently applied to the Food and Drug Admission for permission to begin testing its device in humans.About the size of a grain of rice,the microchip can be coded with bits of information and embedded in humans under a layer of skin.When scanned by a nearby reader,the embedded chip gives the data.
Most embedded chip designs are so-called passive chips,which give information only when scanned by a nearby reader.But active chips such as the proposed Digital Angel of the future  will give out information all the time.And that means designers will have to develop some sort of power source that can provide a continuous source of energy,yet be small enough to be embedded with the chips.
In addition to technical problems,many suspect that all sorts of legal and privacy issues would have to be cleared as well.

68.By using the example in the first two paragraphs,the author wants to tell us thatC.
A.chips are usually used to locate lost children
B.chips are more convenient than credit cards
C.chips will soon be useful in many aspects of daily lives
D.chips will bring out the issue of abuse of personal privacy
69.What is the attitude of Lee Tien towards the chips?D
A.Negative      B.Positive      C.Indifferent  D.Concerned
70.Which of the following statements about Digital Angel is NOT true?B
A.It will include a chip and a power source.
B.It will be produced and replace passive chips.
C.It will be embedded in humans under a layer of skin.
D.It will give information without being scanned by a reader.
71.It is indicated in the passage that chip producers have to consider the following issues EXCEPTA.
A.financial problems             B.technical problems
C.legal problems                 D.privacy problem.
