21、 It was reported last week that developers could take photos from Apple mobile and Google Android devices without the phone owners knowing that the pictures were being taken. In Apple’s case, developers can also obtain the location information for each photo.
Senator(参议员) Charles Schumer said in a telephone interview that his office had spoken with officials at both Apple and Google on Monday. “We asked them if they could find a way on their own to prevent Apple from having access to private(私人的) information,” Mr. Schumer said. “They were friendly and open to the idea that this ought to be changed.”
On Sunday, Mr. Schumer said that he planned to send a letter to the Federal Trade Commission asking the agency to investigate Apple and Google after the privacy concerns came to light. Claudia Bourne Farrell, an F.T.C. spokeswoman, said the agency had received the letter but she could not comment further.
“It worries people to think that one’s personal photos, address book, and who knows what else can be obtained and even posted online without permission,” Mr. Schumer wrote in his letter to the F.T.C. “If the technology exists to open the door to this kind of privacy invasion（侵犯）, then surely technology exists to close it, and that’s exactly what must happen.”
Mr. Schumer said if Apple and Google could not come to an agreement to fix the problem, then he would be forced to take the issue further.
He said other companies had been willing to work with his office to deal with problems. “I’m optimistic that we can get this changed without any regulation,” he said. “If it’s not changed, then we’ll turn to the F.T.C., and if that doesn’t work then we’ll consider law ways.”
The F.T.C. has warned companies to try to be more vigilant(警醒的) in their efforts to protect consumers when it comes to privacy.
【1】The senators spoke with officials at both Apple and Google___________.
A.to stop them from developing the technology of taking photos
B.to discuss whether it is illegal to have access to private information
C.to ask them not to invade consumers’ privacy
D.to keep them from obtaining the location information for each photo
【2】Mr. Schumer’s letter to the F.T.C.mainly shows that the technology to open the door to privacy invasion___.
A.causes privacy invasion to happen frequently
B.causes people to worry about the safety of their personal information
C.can be used if permitted
D.causes personal information to be posted online without permission
【3】If the privacy concerns can’t be solved with the help of the F.T.C.,___________.
A.The senators will turn to law ways
B.The companies will be closed
C.The companies will be fined
D.The senators will force the companies not to invade privacy
【4】Where can we read about the passage?
A.In a travel brochure. B.In a newspaper.

22、Schools across the world are trying to come up with solutions to keep students active. Some are replacing traditional classroom chairs with exercise balls or standing desks. At Ward Elementary School in Winston, North Carolina students have adopted a new program that requires riding fixed bikes while reading.
‘Read and Ride’ is the creation of school counselor Scott Ertl, who came up with the idea while he was exercising and reading at the gym. Believing it would be a fun way to convince students to become more active, he placed one in the corner of his classroom and encouraged them to use it during independent reading classes.
It was so popular that Ertl decided to add more bikes and offer the Read and Ride program to the entire school. Today Ward Elementary has a dedicated exercise room filled with bikes that can be used by students while completing their daily reading assignments.
Besides making reading more fun, the program also helps students exercise at a comfortable pace without the pressure that comes with regular sports-related activities. It is also a perfect way to release energy during days when the weather is not helpful to outdoor activities.
Most importantly, however, are the program’s academic benefits. A year after Read and Ride was introduced at Ward Elementary School, students actively involved in the program demonstrated an astonishing 83% reading proficiency. Those that had not taken advantage of the exercise bikes tested at a much lower, 41%.
Though the substantial improvement in academic achievement cannot all be attributed to programs like Read and Ride, experts believe they are a significant contributor. That’s because studies have shown that physical activity stimulates（刺激） brain cells and helps prepare it for learning. As word of the difference made by this easy to execute exercise program spreads, don’t be surprised to find schools across the country adopt “Read and Ride” for their students.
【1】What is the new program at Ward Elementary School?
A. Kids ride bikes as they read.
B. Kids excise balls and read at the gym.
C. Kids sit at desks for long while reading.
D. Kids do outdoor activities during lessons.
【2】How do the students at Ward Elementary School benefit from the program?
A. They exercise with high pressure.
B. They feel reading fun and learn better.
C. They improve their sense of competition.
D. They are instructed to read at the same pace.
【3】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. The program will be more and more popular.
B. Schools doubt whether the program is available.
C. Physical activities prevent kids from learning more.
D. The school achievement depends wholly on the program.
【4】What would be the best title of the passage?
A. Standing desks help school kids focus on their studies.
B. Traditional teaching should be banned in the near future.
C. ‘Read And Ride’ aims to make students healthier and smarter.
D. Kids need release energy during independent reading classes.
23、I’m an immigrant from China, and I found that in Quebec I had to learn French, which was a totally strange language to me. After waiting for half a month, I received a letter from my school, St-luc, and began learning French in a welcome class, which is a class for new immigrants. Even though French was rather hard for me to speak and to understand, I began my secondary five studies the next year.
The first few days were terrible, especially the first class of the first day. Although I had been in St-Luc for one year, I still didn’t know much about the school. The first problem that I had was finding my classroom. Luckily, I met a girl who was in my French class and my chemistry class.
After the bell rang, the teacher, Mme. Zarif, began her class. First, she introduced herself to everyone and then gave us the course outline for the first year. During her class, everyone laughed many times. Although I could only understand a little bit, I could tell that she was very funny.
At the end of her speech, to make sure that we did not forget what we had learned in secondary four, Mme. Zarif gave us a paper with many symbols of elements on it and asked us to write their names in French. I was shocked when I received the paper. Honestly, the only symbol I knew was O. After having started at the paper for a few minutes, I gave up and raised my hand. The teacher came, and I told her that I didn’t know anything.
“You have forgotten everything already?” she said in a surprised tone. “No,” I answered, “I have never learned them in French before. I am from the welcome class.” “Oh,” the teacher said with a look of understanding. “Come here after school. I will teach them to you.”
I agreed. Finally, I handed in the paper with only one answer on it. On the whole, my first day of secondary five was a little embarrassing but, at the same time, interesting.
【1】What is the author’s first problem on his first day of secondary five?
A．Finding his classroom.
B．Introducing himself.
C．Understanding French.
D．Taking an exam.

【4】What is the best title of the text?
A．A Welcome Class.
B．My French teacher.
C．My first Chemistry Class.
D．An immigrant from China.
24、 Hacking isn't just for computers and smart-phones. According to a study, scientists have found a way to hack a plant's genes in order to make it use sunlight more quickly. Someday, the results could increase the number of food produced around the world.
Scientists used tobacco plants in the study because it is easy to change the plants' genes. Hacked plants are larger than normal plants.
Photosynthesis is the word used to describe how plants use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to make their own food. Scientists say this is a very slow process. Plants use less than 1 percent of the energy. But by hacking a plant's genes, the scientists were able to increase the amount of leaf growth on plants between 12 and 20 percent. Scientists hacked the plant's protective system. Normally, this system starts when a plant gets too much sunlight. When the plant senses the light, it creates more leaves. When the plant is in shade, the protective system is turned off. But the process is slow.
The new study sped up the process by changing the plant's genes. The protective system turned on and off more quickly than normal. As a result, leaf growth on the plants scientists used in the study increased. Leaf growth on two plants increased by 20 percent, while leaf growth on a third plant increased by 12 percent. Scientists conducted the study on tobacco plants. But they think the genetic changes would produce the same results in corn and rice.
Agriculture professor Tala Awanda said the study made sense, but cautioned the yield (产量)might not be quite so high for conventional food crops. "Still," she added in an email, "this study remains a breakthrough."
【1】Which of the following is true according to paragraph 1?
A.We can find hacking only in digital devices.
B.A plant's genes can be changed by hacking.
C.Hacking has been used in improving food production.
D.Hacking can be used to change whatever you want.
【2】Why did scientists choose tobacco plants to study?
A.Because they are very easy to get.
B.Because their genes are easy to change.
C.Because they are larger than other plants.
D.Because they can absorb sunlight quickly.
【3】What do we know about photosynthesis?
A.It helps plants to produce energy.
B.It is regarded as a productive system for plants.
C.It can increase leaf growth on plants by 12 percent.
D.It is made up of sunlight, water and carbon dioxide.
【4】We can learn from paragraph 4 that changing the plants' genes proved_______.
A.Useless B.deadly
C.effective D.unrealistic

26、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
We already know that the underwater world is anything but silent. It is full of natural sounds produced by animals and by the motion of the atmosphere and water. But today’s researchers are increasingly concerned about the man-made noises under the water. They are confusing whales and other marine animals
Although hearing is important to all animals, the special qualities of the undersea world emphasize the use of sound. Underwater sound allows marine animals to gather information and communicate at great distances and from all directions. Loud underwater noises can cause damage to their hearing. And nowadays it's becoming too much for marine wildlife. Evidence shows that whales will swim hundreds of miles, rapidly change their depth, and even beach themselves to get away from the sounds of sonar.
You might think lower noises, typically caused by shipping or construction, do not pose a threat to marine animals. In fact, while they may not kill the animals directly, they can disturb their ability to locate food, find mates and avoid predators (掠食动物)).Scientists looked at the effects of noise from small motorboats on coral-reef fish at the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. In the lab, the fish had been trained to recognize the smell of three common predators as a threat. Some fish were trained in the presence of boat noise, while the others had training with the natural sounds of the ocean. It turned out that the first group showed no fright reactions when exposed to the predator. However, the other group was scared. And under the influence of underwater noise on this group, only 20 percent of fish survived, compared to almost 70 percent of unexposed fish.
Humans rely on the ocean for its natural resources and biodiversity. The ocean also plays an important role in regulating( 调节)temperatures, As Cousteau said, "For most of history, man has had to fight nature to survive; in this century he is beginning to realize that, in order to survive, he must protect it.
