24、 As part of the “Facebook generation”, we have grown up in an Internet world and we can connect with people with a touch on the smart phone. Nowadays, it is common to offer guests the Wi-Fi password along with a cup of tea when they come around to visit. We have lost ourselves in our smart phones.
Of course, smart phones are really useful and have changed our lives in many ways. Thanks to thousands of APPs, we can now do almost anything when we’re out and about. However, it seems that these addictive(上瘾的) pieces of technology are slowly beginning to take over our lives. It’s so easy to become dependent on the phones, whether it’s to find your way around with the map APP or even just check the time. As a result, we’re becoming more anti-social, choosing to search the Internet rather than talk face-to-face with other human beings.
Even when we’re socializing(交往), it seems most of us feel uneasy without our phones at arm’s reach. Phones were invented to keep us more connected, and indeed they have done just that. We can now get in contact, yet this means we’re starting to be short of sincere(真诚的) contact with each other. People are connecting more and more across screens rather than in person.
I’m not here to say I’m any better. However, I’m trying to use it less and less when I’m out and about. Next time you’re out with your friends, put your phone away and see how long you can last without it.
【1】Which of the following is commonly offered to guests nowadays?
A.A cup of wine. B.The Wi-Fi password.
C.A smart phone. D.A piece of newspaper.
【2】What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A.Smart phones have taken over our lives already.
B.We can hardly do anything without phones now.
C.Smart phones can make people more social.
D.It’s easy to lose ourselves in smart phones.
【3】Why were phones invented?
A.To keep people more connected.
B.To help people contact sincerely.
C.To help people find their way.
D.To make it easier to check the time.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A.We shouldn’t use smart phones when meeting friend.
B.Smart phones have changed our lives in many ways.
C.People today have lost themselves in smart phones.
D.The writer never uses smart phones when he’s out.
25、You may forget your password or your ID, but you’ll never forget your face. Using your face as your ID is quick and convenient. You could take the subway or board a flight with just your face alone. This is how facial recognition (人脸识别) works. This technology has helped Taylor Swift identify stalkers (识别跟踪者) at her concerts. It has also been used to catch criminals.
In China, facial recognition systems have been used in many areas. In Zhengzhou, people can now get on the subway by using facial recognition technology. They just need to link the online payment system to the subway’s smartphone app. Students at Peking University can also pass through the school gate by scanning their face.
However, there are currently no laws to regulate (规范) the use and collection of facial information. So many people are worried about the collection and use of this information by governments and companies. “I feel uncomfortable with the use of facial information because I don’t know how the company is using my facial details or whether they will be leaked” Said Feng Yi, a tourism company worker. Information leakage is a problem because there is a long history of companies failing to protect users’ information. After all, you can change your bank card or password if your bank information is leaked, but can you change your face when your facial information is stolen?
As facial recognition is used more widely in our daily lives-from college campuses and subways to street corners and smartphones, we must ask ourselves whether or not this new technology is worth the risk.
【1】Facial recognition technology can’t be used to ________.
A.catch criminals
B.take the subway
C.pay for the flight
D.identify stalkers
【2】What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?

B.How the facial recognition system is used in some areas.
C.People link the online payment system to smartphone apps.
D.Students use facial recognition to pass through the school gate.
【3】Feng Yi’s words in Paragraph 3 show ________.
A.how facial information is collected
B.that people are worried about the information leak
C.how companies fail to protect users’ information
D.that laws should regulate the use of face recognition
【4】The passage mainly wants to tell us ________.
A.the risk of new technologies
B.the leaks of facial information
C.the advantages of facial recognition
D.the use and risks of facial recognition
【5】In which magazine may you find this passage?
A.Science View
B.Health Online
C.Sweet Tooth
D.Sports World
26、 Vira Timbaci's post office job is similar to that of many postal(邮局的)workers around the world. But there is a difference. One of the mailboxes he manages(管理)is under the sea.
The post office opened in 2003. It is the world's first underwater post office. It makes it possible for visitors to send postcards back home from under the sea.
It's Timbaci's job to make sure that the postcards are collected on time at 3 pm each day. He is the postal manager. Postcards are made of waterproof plastic(防水塑料).

Visitors know that the post office is open for business when a flag is flown on the water. At one time, the local postal service trained its postal clerks to dive(潜水). But they found it was a tough job. That is why some people who are good at diving now start working here.
In the years since its opening, there have been several similar ones in Susami, Japan and Risor, Norway. There is also one in Malaysia which is the world's deepest post office under the sea.

27、English is becoming more and more popular in China. It can be used in every field, such as on some signs and restaurant menus. But there are some problems when people use it. Perhaps you’ve seen the English letters “WC” in your city. They show public toilets. But do you know it is far from native (地道的) English? In fact, foreigners from English-speaking countries seldom use the letters.
Workers in our city are changing “WC” signs all over the city. The government is spending much money changing all the bad English on signs and restaurant menus. Many other places in China are following our steps.
“WC, or water closet, is old-fashioned English. It sounds dirty to me,” says Nancy, a young woman from the US. The old sign will become “Gents/Men” and “Ladies/Women”. “I see much poor English in everyday life, and not only on signs,” she says, “I know what they mean, but they are Chinglish, not real English. For example, when someone says to me ‘My hometown is Guizhou Province’, I know he or she should say ‘My hometown is in Guizhou Province’. Hometown is a smaller place in a province.” The common mistakes that Nancy picked up include “Not Entry”, which should be “No Entry”,“Direction of Airport” should be changed to “To the Airport”. And it is “Room Rate” not “Room Price”. And remember to “Keep off the Grass”, rather than “Care of the Green”.
The next time you walk on the street or eat in the restaurant, you can go and see if the expressions are right.
【1】Who seldom uses letters of “WC” according to the passage?
A.Chinese students.
B.Foreigners from other countries.
C.Teachers in China.
D.English-speaking foreigners.
【2】What’s the attitude (态度) of the government towards the bad English on signs?
A.It’s native.
B.It should be changed.
C.It doesn’t matter.
D.It can be used on signs.
【3】Which of the following signs is RIGHT?
A.Not Entry.
B.Room Price.
C.To the Airport.
D.Care of the Green.
【4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Chinglish on menus.
B.Money spent on Chinglish.
C.Usages of native English.
D.Letters of “WC”.

Old Henry is Jessica's grandfather. People like him because this old man is friendly to them. What does this old man do? Oh, he used to catch fish, so he was a f 【1】.
