When I teach yoga (瑜伽), I usually announce “Phones off and at the back of the room” at the beginning of class. Recently, I forgot and had to whisper to a student texting during class to turn off her phone. She looked displeased but did so. But two days later, in another class, I was met with resistance from a young woman who completely refused. “But I’m on call. I might have to jump up and run out of class.” “Then maybe this isn’t the best place for you to be tonight.” That response got me an angry and unfriendly look. But when she came back the next week, there was no phone and she was much more present. Present is what I’m asking my students to be. Present to themselves and their yoga experience. You cannot be present to yoga if you are texting or emailing or anxiously awaiting a call. And neither can anyone around you. Definitely, if one phone is out, many pairs of eyes are drawn to it. And then other phones start to appear. Forget the fact that you’re missing the class you paid for; you’re at risk of losing your balance and hurting yourself or someone else due to inattention, or disturbing someone else’s moment of peace and stillness with the clicking of your keys. So please, do yourself and everyone around you, this teacher included, a favor and turn your phone off and put it away before you unroll your yoga mat. If you truly are on call, think hard before you come to class. Be present for yourself, wherever you need to be. 【1】How does the author introduce her topic? A.By giving examples. B.By making comparison. C.By presenting the process. D.By analyzing cause and effect. 【2】Why was the young woman angry with the author? A.Because she thought she was reasonable. B.Because she was brave enough to say no. C.Because she didn’t like the yoga class at all. D.Because the author was rude to her. 【3】Which is Not the probable result of using phones in yoga class? A.Hurting yourself. B.Missing the class. C.Disturbing others. D.Getting others’ admiration. 【4】What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage? A.To describe the situation of her yoga class. B.To explain her relationship with students. C.To show her opinion about using mobile phones. D.To stress the importance of being attentive in yoga class. |

A lot of people in England have a very strong obsession (痴迷) with football. You might even say they are fanatics! When I was growing up, everyone would rush out to the playground during the break times, desperate to play a game of football. Whenever there is a big match, all the flags for local football teams are hung outside every window, or even spread proudly on T-shirts or scarves. There is an atmosphere of excitement in the air. Groups of young men crowd into dark, packed bars, peering at tiny television screens in the corners. They shout and scream in frustration when their team loses a goal, or with joy when there is a moment of success. Football has never been something I have been particularly interested in. For years, I have had to feign (装作) excitement, and pick a team or risk ridicule (嘲笑). You cannot say you don’t like or do not follow football in England, as often this would lead to a long dialogue in which someone would begin telling you why you should support their team. Growing up in north London, I quickly learned everyone around me supported Arsenal, and so I blindly did the same, for fear of having the same conversation more than fifty times. You do not have to be a fan of football to get caught up in the excitement. Often, I feel annoyed when everyone around me is full of excitement over two groups of people kicking a ball in a field. However, I understand the culture, and I enjoy the excitement. While I may not ultimately desire to play the sport or take part in supporting the teams, I will nevertheless defend people's obsession with the sport. It is their history and obsession. 【1】What does the writer intend to tell us by writing paragraph 2? A.The crazy act of British young people. B.The ways people watch football match. C.The bar culture in England. D.The obsession with football of people in England. 【2】Why did the writer choose Arsenal to support? A.Because it’s his favourite. B.Because he knows it well. C.Because he doesn’t want to be bothered. D.Because it’s the team of his hometown. 【3】Which word can best describe the author’s attitude towards British’s obsession with football? A.Critical. B.Objective. C.Doubtful. D.Supportive. 【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.Football: A game for the world B.My idea about football C.British: crazy love for football D.My love for Britain |

Imagine a world where you move around in front of a personal computer in your own sound space. You listen to your favorite songs, play loud computer games or watch a movie - all without other people hearing the sound. That is the possibility presented by “sound beaming,” a new technology from Noveto Systems, an Israeli company. On Friday, the company presented a desktop device that sends sound directly to a listener without the need for headphones or a special receiver. Noveto Systems gave The Associated Press (AP) a chance to test its Sound Beamer 1.0 before its debut. The AP’s Louise Dixon writes that listening to the device is like something from a science fiction movie. The sound seems so close it feels like it is inside your ears while also in front, above and behind them. Noveto expects the device will have many uses. Office workers could listen to music or conference calls without others hearing. People could play a game, a movie or music without waking up others in the same room. Because the device does not use headphones, it is possible to hear other sounds in the room clearly. The device uses a 3-D technology that finds and follows the ear position of the listener. It sends ultrasonic waves (超声波) to create sound pockets by the user’s ears. Sound can be heard in stereo or 3-D. The 3-D method creates sound on all sides of the listener. By changing a setting, the sound can follow a listener around when they move their head. It also is possible to move out of the sound beam’s path and hear nothing at all. While the idea of sound beaming is not new, Noveto was the first to launch the technology. Its chief executive officer Christophe Ramstein said a smaller version of the device will be ready for release to consumers next year. 【1】What do we know about Sound Beamer? A.It’s a device appearing in the science fiction movie. B.Listeners got its sound through a receiver. C.It can prevent other sound being heard. D.The smaller one will be on market next year. 【2】What does the underlined word “debut” in paragraph 2 mean? A.New version. B.First appearance. C.Another failure. D.Some doubt. 【3】What does the fourth paragraph tell us? A.How the device works. B.How to use the device. C.The device’s advantage. D.Why the device is invented. 【4】What is the text mainly about? A.The introduction of a new device--sound beamer. B.The usage of 3D technology. C.The influence brought by sound beamer. D.3D technology and listening experience. |

If your family or group of friends loves to bike, then a bike trip makes a perfect vacation. 【1】 Because you move more slowly on a bike, you have a chance to really sink into your environment, observing wildlife and views that you might miss otherwise. 【2】 If you have unskilled bikers or kids in your group, you’ll probably all be happiest if you keep your mile goals fairly modest. But a group of more experienced bikers can make more serious mile goals. An easy way to travel is to camp along the way. You can book campsites ahead of time at campgrounds along the way, and ride into camp as late as you like. 【3】 Invest in a light-weight tent, and light-weight inflatable pads (充气垫) under your sleeping bag. If you’re going to be traveling on trails (小径), you’ll want to ride a mountain bike during your trip. On the other hand, if your route is wholly along roads, you can ride a lighter-weight street bike. Or, you can put heavier-weight tires on a street bike. 【4】 If you have a lot of time, you can cover quite a bit of distance. Over the course of a long trip, you’ll get stronger and you’ll be able to go further in one day. 【5】 You might want to rest a day or two early in your travels to give your body some rest. A.Biking is becoming more and more popular. B.Avoiding hurt is another thing you should concern. C.Keep in mind that some camping equipment is heavy. D.Check in with your local bike shop for suggestions on tire weight. E.However, remember that early in the trip you’ll start every day feeling tired. F.Seeing the world from the seat of a bike is a wonderful way to experience new places. G.As you plan your trip, the biggest decision to make is how far you’d like to travel each day. |

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Paul and Marie lived in Hossegor, a fashionable seaside resort (度假村) on the Atlantic coast of southern France. They were both in their late fifties. She had dark eyes and black hair while he was a little taller, with gray eyes. They started a small company when they were young. Through many years of hard work, they established themselves against strong competition. They always worked many hours every day together in their office, often until late into the night, even on weekends, knowing that only very good work would provide them with loyal customers and success. After years, they were able to buy a pretty little apartment in a modern building with a balcony (阳台) overlooking a large and beautiful garden that featured a beautiful lawn, some decorative bushes all around, some trees here and there, a small pond in the middle, and even a decorative fountain. Inside their apartment, everything was very tidy, yet a bit artistic. There were some nice pictures on the walls—dreams of beauty in nature—and on a glass shelf, Paul’s collection of toy locomotives (火车头), symbols of his dreams of exciting travel. Actually Marie had been interested in drawing and painting since she was a little girl, but she has no time to develop her talent because of her busy work. Thus went week after week and year after year until a terrible accident happened to their company, causing a heavy financial loss to them. One of their ships, carrying a variety of goods, knocked into a floating iceberg on its trip to America. As a result, the ship got very badly damaged with all its goods and staff on board. When the couple heard the bad news about their ship they burst into tears. Paul became greatly depressed while Marie, who felt less desperate (绝望的) then, tried her best to calm him down by saying that everything would be all right as long as they didn’t lose heart. Gradually, Paul managed to calm himself down and began to face reality. Consequently, they had no choice but to close their company. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph1: It was not long before they had difficulty in supporting themselves. Paragraph2: One day they went to an art exhibit in town. |
