【題目】閱讀理解
If you’re secretly worried about your smart phone addiction, then the new NoPhone might be just the thing you need. It looks and feels exactly like a smart phone, but it does nothing. It’s just a piece of plastic that you can carry around in your hand to fool yourself.
Dutch designer Ingmar Larsen came up with the idea as a joke along with his two friends. To their great surprise, the idea received a lot of attention online and people from all over the world started placing requests for NoPhones of their own. So that’s when the three friends decided to turn to collecting enough fund for mass production.
NoPhone is currently a prototype (模型) that will cost only $12 once it hits the market It is 5.5 inches high, 2.6 inches wide and 0.29 inches thick, bringing it quite close to the latest smart phones on the market. It is described as “battery free”, “no upgrades necessary,” “shatter-proof (抗震)”, “waterproof” and “an alternative to constant hand-to-phone contact that allows you to stay connected with the real world.”
“Phone addiction is everywhere,” the designers insist. “It’s ruining your dates. It’s distracting you at concerts. It’s blocking sidewalks. Now, there is a real solution. With a thin, light and completely wireless design, the NoPhone acts as a substitute to any smart mobile device, enabling you to always have a phone to hold without giving up potential engagement with your direct environment.”
If you’re interested in NoPhone, but concerned about not being able to take selfies (自拍) anymore. Don’t feel upset. The makers do have an upgrade at no extra charge---the mirror sticker. That way, they say, you can enjoy “real-time” selfies with your friends when they’re standing right behind you.
（1）What can NoPhone do for people according to the text?
A.It is actually a new kind of real smart phone.
B.It can help us stay away from the real world.
C.It helps get rid of people’s smart phone addiction.
D.It’s just a piece of plastic and can do nothing.
（2）What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The size of NoPhone.
B.The inventors of NoPhone.
C.The material of NoPhone.
D.A brief description of NoPhone.
（3）What can we learn from the passage?
A.NoPhone has received unexpected attention.
B.NoPhone can completely replace smart phones.
C.The designers have made lots of money from NoPhone.
D.NoPhone is able to take selfies as smart phones do.
（4）What type of writing is this passage?
A.A travel guide.
B.A scientific report.
C.A medical record.
D.An official document.

【答案】
（1）C
（2）D
（3）A
（4）B
【解析】本篇是一篇說(shuō)明文，介紹了一款新型的設(shè)備N(xiāo)oPhone. NoPhone將會(huì)提供手機(jī)手持的“握感”，但并不是真正的手機(jī)。NoPhone會(huì)防摔、防水且無(wú)需升級(jí)，也沒(méi)有電池。它可以幫助你戒除手機(jī)癮，更多的與外界接觸。
（1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“Now，there is a real solution．With a thin．1ight and completely wireless design，the NoPhone acts as a substitute to any smart mobile device，enabling you to always have a phone to hold without giving up potential engagement with your direct environment．”可知，NoPhone可以成為你的手機(jī)的替代品，使你感覺(jué)上握著手機(jī)，又不會(huì)和外界失去聯(lián)系。故選擇C，指它可以幫助人們戒除手機(jī)癮。
（2）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容可知，這一段主要介紹的是NoPhone的大小、樣式、功能等，也就是說(shuō)是對(duì)NoPhone的簡(jiǎn)單描述。故選擇D。（3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“To their great surprise，the idea received a lot of attention online”可知，NoPhone引起了意想不到的注意。而NoPhone并非手機(jī)，故選項(xiàng)B錯(cuò)；而通過(guò)NoPhone is currently a prototype(模型)that will cost only $12 once it hits the market可知選項(xiàng)C錯(cuò)；通過(guò)最后一段的The makers do have an upgrade at no extra charge—the mirror sticker可知選項(xiàng)D錯(cuò)。故選擇A。
（4）考查推理判斷�？v觀全文可知，這篇文章主要介紹了新型設(shè)備N(xiāo)oPhone，故選擇B，指科學(xué)報(bào)告。

●NATURAL BEAUTY: OUR ENVIRONMENT

Anne Bowen, an art teacher, always emphasized environmental themes in her classes. She channels her concern for the environment into her artwork, which you can see in her ＂Our Environment＂ exhibition, at the Carrollwood Cultural Center in Tampa. Bowen uses mixed media (pen and ink, colored pencils and paint) to describe nature, using patterns that echo the symmetry(對(duì)稱(chēng)) found there. She’s also interested in the ways animals live together in groups, which she explores in her piece Monarch Butterflies(pictured). She hopes her art inspires viewers to come up with solutions to environmental problems. Bowen’s commitment to environmental preservation isn’t just lip service; she’ll donate half of her sales profits to the Sierra Club. In addition to ＂Our Environment＂, members of the Exhibiting Society of Artists have an exhibition in the gallery. The opening reception for both shows is 5—8 p.m. Friday. 4537 Lowell Road.

【題目】There are some places in the world that one wants to return again and again. After my first visit to Boracay, Philippines, in March of last year, I knew that I would return soon. I was there again in April this year.

It was on the island that I first tried kite-surfing. The Bulabog Beach on the eastern side of Boracay has many wind-surfing and kite-surfing sports centers. I randomly chose a center, which happened to be an affiliation(附屬機(jī)構(gòu)) of International Kiteboarding Organization.

The organization has training centers around the world, and some of its courses are tailored for beginners like me.

The center on Boracay has different courses, from recreational to professional. In the recreational category, trainees have to do the "discovery" level before they go on to more advanced levels.

My instructor Brian, who was from the United States, strictly followed the center's rules about levels, and began the training by asking me to set up the kite on the sand, which was the very first step at the ground level of the "discovery" course.

I had a teammate, and we both couldn't wait to have the feeling of riding with the wind on the surface of the water. But we had to practice at length the various skills for assessing the direction of the wind and the move-ments of our bodies.

It was there in March, which was still the windy season on the island. Because of the winds, the Philippines were important on the ancient marine (海上的) trade route. They call the wind Amihan, or trade winds.

From May to October, the Amihan wind is channeled through the hills on the northern and southern ends of the island from the east onshore, and onto the Bulabog Beach on the eastern coast of the island.

【1】Do you think why the author returned to Boracay?

A. Because it is a small island in the Philippines.

B. Because he intended to settle down there.

C. Because the place was very attractive.

D. Because the kite-surfing on this island was rather exciting.

【2】What does the underlined word "tailored" in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. lost B. known C. cancelled D. designed

【3】What kind of person is Brian?

A. Easy-going. B. Strict. C. Dull. D. Friendly.

【4】Why did the Philippines call the wind "trade winds"?

A. Because the Philippines started to trade in the windy season.

B. Because the winds made the Philippines active in the ancient time.

C. Because the Philippines had been relying on the winds to trade.

D. Because the winds benefited the Philippines a lot in the ancient maritime trade.

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
Ever wonder how much a cloud weighs? What about a hurricane? A meteorologist（氣象學(xué)家） has done some estimates and the results might surprise you.
Let's start with a very simple white puffy cloud—a cumulus cloud(積云). How much does the water in a cumulus cloud weigh? Peggy LeMone, senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, did the numbers. “The water in the little cloud weighs about 550 tons,” she calculates. “Or if you want to convert it to something that might be a little more meaningful...think of elephants.” Assume（假設(shè)） an elephant weighs about six tons, she says, that would mean the water inside a typical cumulus cloud would weigh about one hundred elephants.
The thought of a hundred elephants' worth of water floating in the sky begs another question—what keeps it up there?
“First of all, the water isn't in elephant-sized particles(微粒); it's in tiny tiny tiny particles,” explains LeMone. And those particles float on the warmer air that's rising below. But still, the concept of so much water floating in the sky was surprising even to a meteorologist like LeMone. “I had no idea how much a cloud would weigh, actually, when I started the calculations（計(jì)算）,” she says.
So how many elephant units of water are inside a big storm cloud—10 times bigger all the way around than the “puffy” cumulus cloud? Again, LeMone did the numbers: About 200,000 elephants.
Now, come to the calculations for a hurricane about the size of Missouri and the figures get really massive. “What we're doing is weighing the water in one cubic meter theoretically pulled from a cloud and then multiplying by the number of meters in a whole hurricane,” she explains.
The result? Forty million elephants. That means the water in one hurricane weighs more than all the elephants on the planet. Perhaps even more than all the elephants that have ever lived on the planet.
（1）The weight of ________ is NOT mentioned in the passage.
A.a cumulus cloud
B.a storm cloud
C.a hurricane
D.a tornado
（2）How did Peggy LeMone feel about the result of her calculations?
A.She found it not convincing.
B.She thought it needed further calculations.
C.She considered the calculations inaccurate.
D.She was quite surprised at it.
（3）What can be inferred from the passage?
A.A storm cloud weights about 200,000 elephants.
B.The water in the cloud is in very tiny particles.
C.There are less than forty million elephants living on the earth.
D.The water in a hurricane weights more than that in any other kind of cloud.
（4）What is the best title for the passage?
A.Surprising Results
B.Elephants in the Sky
C.How Much a Cloud Weighs
D.How Much a Hurricane Weighs
