10.Pulling heavy suitcases all day in the summer is hard work,especially when you are a thin  14-year-old boy.That was me in 1940-the youngest and smallest baggage boy at New York City's Pennsylvania Railway Station.
After just a few days on the job,I began noticing that the other fellows were overcharging  passengers.I'd like to join them,thinking,"Everyone else is doing it."
When I got home that night,I told my dad what I wanted to do."You give an honest day's   work,"he said,looking at me straight in his eye."They are paying you.If they want to do that,you let them do that."
I followed my dad's advice for the rest of that summer and have lived by his words ever since.
Of all the jobs I've had,it was my experience at Pennsylvania Railway Station that has stuck with me.Now I teach my players to have respect for other people and their possession.Being a member of a team is a totally shared experience.If one person steals,it destroys trust and hurts everyone.I can put up with many things,but not with people who steal.If one of my players were caught stealing,he'd be gone.
Whether you're on a sports team,in an office or a member of a family.if you can't trust one another,there is going to be trouble.

36.What can be inferred about the baggage boys?B
A.They could earn much,but they had to work hard.
B.Many of them earned money in a dishonest way.
C.They were all from poor families.
D.They were thin,young boys.
37.What does the father's advice imply?C
A.It is wrong to give more to the passengers.
B.Don't believe them if they are paying you more.
C.Don't follow others to overcharge the passengers.
D.It is difficult to work hard and live as an honest boy.
38.The underlined word"it"(in Paragraph 2)refers toA
A.overcharging passengers
B.pulling heavy suitcases all day
C.paying passengers money
D.working in an honest way
39.The writer can't put up with stealing because he thinks thatC
A.it is a total shared experience
B.it is considered as the most dangerous
C.it does great harm to human relationship
D.it may led to the loss of his sports team.
40.It can be concluded from the text thatD
A.his father's advice helped him to decide which job to take up
B.working in the sports team was his most important experience
C.he learned much from his shared experience with his team members[w*w&w.zzste^~p.c@om]
D.his experience as a baggage boy had a great influence on his late life.

1.You can't always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella.But designer Mikhail Belvacv doesn't think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet.That's why he created lampbrella,a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.
The designer says he come up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia."once,I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street ad saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain.I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(傘蓬)built into a street lamp."he said.
The lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy.It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand.Sensors(傳感器)then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.
In addition to the rain sensor,there's also a 360°motion sensor on  the biberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone's using the lampbrella.After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.
According to the designer,the lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed,so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians.Besides,it would be grounded to protect from possible lighting strike.Each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people.Being installed at 2meters off the ground,it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.
While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production,Belyacv says he recently introduced his creation one Moscow Department,and insists this creation could be installed on my street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.
66.For what purpose did Belyacv create the lampbrella?
A.To predict a heavy rain B.To check the weather forecast
C.To protect people from the rain D.To remind people to take an umbrella
67.What do we know from Belyacv's worlds in Paragraph2?
A.His creation was inspired by an experience
B.it rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg
C.Street lamps are protected by canopies
D.He enjoyed taking walks in the rain
68.Which of the following show how the lampbrella works?
A.motor→canopy→sensors B.Sensors→motor→canopy
C.motor→sensors→canopyD.canopy→motor→sensors
69.What does paragraph 5mainly tell us about the lampbrella?
A.Its moving speed B.Its appearance
C.Its installation D.Its safety
70.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.The designer will open a company to promote his product
B.The lampbrella could be put into immediate production
C.The designer is confident that his creation is practical
D.The lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.

5.By today's standards,my mobile phone is pretty rubbish.It's a Nokia 1616.If that doesn't mean much to you  ( it's not the kind of phone you see advertised on television),all you need to know is that it's a small,not very heavy device with which you can send and receive telephone calls and text messages.It also has a very handy torch on the top for when you can't find your keys,or when you drop something on the floor in the cinema.Other than that,my phone doesn't do much.Well,it has an alarm,and it probably has a calculator and things like that,but it's nothing compared to a smartphone.Why would I want one of those?
I have often been told that the big advantage of having a smartphone is that"you can do everything with them!"But when was the last time you saw someone doing"everything"with a smartphone?Okay,so they may have an endless list of functions,but generally they are used for checking social networking sites,playing games,and receiving and replying to emails.I'm happy just doing all of those things at home on my laptop.
As far as I can tell,the best thing about having a smartphone is that you can be connected to the inLernet all the time.Don't get me wrong,I love the internet,but I just don't see the point of constantly being online.I can't remember the last time I received a Facebook update which was so very urgent that I had to read it as soon as it appeared,and I can't imagine ever having a job which
was so important that I would need to read work-related emails immediately.I would think that if someone needed me urgently,they would just ring me rather than send an email.And my trusty Nokia can manage that.
One of the most peculiar effects of the smartphone is,in my opinion,the newly-found addiction  to maps and navigation (導(dǎo)航) systems.Is there anything more boring than knowing exactly where  you are all of the time?!How do you get to know an area if you don't get lost there a few times?And  if you are dependant on online maps,what happens to those great places you find just by chance?You can't exactly find out from google maps the journey from"here"to"that hidden cafe with the  tasty-looking cakes",or to"that pond next to the church which looks really pretty in the evening  sun."It is,of course,true that we all occasionally need to be pointed in the right dircction,but I  find that there are often real life  humans you can ask.
There are many benefits of having a very basic mobile phone,like the face that it cost me about twenty pounds,and that I don't have to worry too much about it being stolen.But the main benefit.has to be the fact that it provides me with the word'greatest excuse for my bad habits,Whether it's turning up late to events,or getting lose on a trip,or missing buses or trains,or forgetting about an  appointment at work,I'm pretty sure I'm covered with the following explanation"I'm really,sorry I don't have a smartphone."

41.The writer uses his Nokia 1616mainly toD.
A.play online games                   B.do calculating work
C.check social network sites          D.make calls and text messages
42.It can be inferred from the above passage thatB.
A.work-related emails should be answered immediately
B.a(chǎn) laptop and a smartphone share many functions
C.smartphones should always be connected to the net
D.a(chǎn) Facebook update is usually very import
43.According to the passage,if you use navigation systems,you mayA
A.miss some really wonderful places            B.find a boring trip actually exciting
C.be persuaded to eat in a certain cafe        D.be misled to a totally wrong place
44.To the writer,one benefit of having a basic mobile phone is thatC
A.it can remind him of important appointments
B.it can often be found back after it is stolen
C.it can be used as an excuse for his bad habits
D.it can save him the trouble of catching trains
45.The writer's purpose for writing this article is toA.
A.explain why he doesn't want a smartphone
B.warn readers of the risks of using smartphones

9.閱讀下面的短文并用英語回答問題,然后將答案寫到答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上(請注意問題后的字?jǐn)?shù)要求).
[1]Nowadays the cost of a new car has fallen in real terms so that it is cheaper than ever to own one,and better road conditions have also attracted more drivers.The result is overcrowding on the road system,which is one of the problems the local governments are faced with.
[2]When people travel to other towns,the problem might be relieved by getting them to park outside the town.Buses could be provided to take them into the centre.These Park and Ride projects are increasingly popular in the UK.At Southerton,for example,a council-funded project led to a 15% drop in city centre traffic over five months.
[3]What the council found,though,was that the project proved somewhat unpopular with shop owners in the area outside the centre.Many of their shops relied on passing car drivers for some of their trade.As the number of people driving past dropped,so did their incomes.
[4]Making car driving expensive is another way ofencouraging people to use public transport more
encouraging people to use their cars less
relieving the problem (of overcrowding).Road taxes tend to mean that people use their cars less.Fining drivers who are in areas where cars have been banned can also tend to encourage them to leave their cars behind.
[5]However,one thing has to be got right for any solution to succeed.If we expect people to give up the habit of driving,we must give them an alternative they can rely on.Constant delays,unannounced changes to the timetable and sudden cancellations all discourage people from using public transport.People will only see it as a real choice if the buses and trains are on time.

66.What causes overcrowding on the road system according to Paragraph 1?(no more than 12words)The reduced/lowered cost of a new car and better road conditions.
67.What should people do when traveling to other towns according to the Park and Ride projects?(no more than 10words)They should park outside the town,and take the bus to the centre.
68.Why were some shop owners unhappy about the project?(no more than 10words)Their incomes dropped because fewer people drove past.
69.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4.( no more than 8words)encouraging people to use public transport more
encouraging people to use their cars less
relieving the problem (of overcrowding)
70.Why are people unwilling to use public transport according to Paragraph 5?(no more than 8words)Because public transport is not reliable/satisfactory..
