Similar technology could greatly reduce broken hips (髖部) resulting from a fall, something most seniors fear.Dr. Robert

12、Buckman and his start-up company, Active Protective in Allentown, Pennsylvania, has developed a promising solution, a wearable airbag that can protect hip bones in the event of a fall. The idea was the result of Dr. Buckmans years as a doctor at Temple University. He noticed how many elderly people

13、were being brought into hospitals with broken hip due to falls, and how they often never completely recovered from the injuries. He started to ask what he could do for these people, and that was when he started trying to figure out whether there was a way of helping people who were at the highest ri

14、sk of falling and suffering these kinds of injuries.The device is worn much like a regular belt, but on the outside of the clothing, and it includes sensors that monitor the movement of hips. If the device detects that the person, is falling, an airbag opens before the person hits the ground, cushio

15、ning the fall. When the wearer hits the ground, the bag reduces the force to the hip bones by 90 percent, enough to avoid the majority of hip injuries.With one out of every three people aged 65 and older suffering serious falls each year, Active Protective has a big market for its wearable device. I

16、t also has the potential to sizably reduce hip - related health care expenses: Hip injuries among the elderly cost the US health care system in 2012 $30 billion, which doesnt include the long-term care expenses associated with the high percentage of patients that can no longer live independently.1、W

17、hat is the purpose of the Active Protectives airbag?ATo avoid hip injuries among seniors.BTo protect seniors from car accidents.CTo help seniors with their daily nursing.DTo help doctors deal with serious injuries.2、What inspired Dr. Robert Buckman to make the device?AA report on seniors health.BA s

18、erious fall he experienced.CHis work experiences as a doctor.DSuggestions of seniors at Temple University.3、How does the device mainly work?ABy predicting road conditions. BBy speeding up bone recovery.CBy reducing the effects of falling. DBy preventing people from failing.4、What does the author thi

19、nk of the Active Protectives airbag?AIt still needs improving.BIt has a promising future.CIt may encourage seniors to do exercise.DIt may increase Americas spend on seniors.22（8分） When Shakespeare was twenty-one, he went to London, a very interesting place, to try his fortune.There was the famous Lo

20、ndon Bridge and St. Pauls Cathedral, and palaces and markets and long streets full of shops.Then, too, there were the daily crowds where could be seen people from all over the world. Knights, scholars and the highwayman (攔路強(qiáng)盜）or thieves, who had been infamous for their clever robberies, passed by ea

21、ch other.Here, also, were noblemen dressed in gold, from Italy and Spain and France; slaves from Spanish America, sea captains and ministers, soldiers and servantsall held by chances or interests within the gray walls which circled London, and whose gates gave welcome to as strange a crowd as could

22、be found in the world.Into this curious crowd came Shakespeare, quick to see and eager to learn. And before long all these strange sights were as familiar to him as the faces of his own towns residents. Each one told its story to him so plainly that, as before he had learned the secrets of the field

23、s and woods, so now he learned men and mens interests that make up the great world.And he learned these lessons so well that when he came to write his plays, he made such use of them as no writer ever made before or since; for it is the use of this knowledge of the world, combined with his own geniu

24、s, that makes Shakespeare the greatest dramatist that has ever lived.1、What was London like in Shakespeares eyes when he first went there?ADirty and small.BStrange and interesting.CInfamous and terrible.DFamiliar and modern.2、Which of the following best describes Shakespeare?AShakespeare got inspira

25、tion to write from his hometown, London.BShakespeare was eager to make friends with the noblemen in London.CShakespeare was good at observing and learning from the daily life.DShakespeare became the greatest dramatist owing to his own genius.3、What does the word “one” in paragraph 5 refer to?ACrowd.

They were all left-handed, along with other famous people including Brad Pitt PrinceWilliam, and Barack Ob

27、ama. In fact, an estimated 13 percent of the worldspopulation may be left-handed and still most people around the world are right-handed.What makes a person become right-handed rather than left-handed? As yet no onereally knows for sure. One simple idea suggests that people normally get right-handed

28、ness from their parents. Studies have found that two right-handed parents have only a 9.5 percent chance of having a left-handed child, whereas two left-handed parents have a 26 percent chance of having a left-handed child. Another common theory is that left-handed people suffer mild brain damage du

29、ring birth, which makes them left-handed. However, if this theory were true, it would not explain why the percentage of left-banded people is so similar in every society, when birth conditions vary so much from society to society.Whatever the reasons behind it, peoples attitudes toward left-handedne

30、ss have changed a lot over the years. Statistics show that although 13 percent of young people (10-20 years old) are left-handed, only 6 percent of the elderly are left-handed. Left-handed children used to be punished until they began using their right hand like other children, but today people who

31、are left-handed are no longer looked down on nor are they considered abnormal. For most people today, either case is perfectly acceptable.1、What makes one right-handed?AThe environment.BMild brain damage during birth.CThe reason is uncertain.DOther people.2、Why is the number of young people who are

32、left-handed bigger than that of the elderly?ABecause the elderly are forced to become right-handed.BBecause left-handed people are considered abnormal.CBecause left-handedness can be cured.DBecause the young are easily damaged.3、What does the text mainly talk about?ALeft-handed people are looked dow

33、n upon.BGeneral facts about left-handed people.CSome famous left-handed people.DThe reasons why people are left-handed.24（8分）When your child lies to you, it hurts. As parents, it makes us angry and we take it personally. We feel like we can never trust our child again. Why does lying cause such ange

34、r, pain and worry for parents?Parents are understandably very afraid of their children getting hurt and getting into trouble, but they have very little protection against these things as they send their kids out into the word. Kids learn from other kids and from external media, and this makes parent

35、s feel unsafe because they cant control the information and ideas that their children are exposed to.When your kid lies, you start to see him as “sneaky（卑鄙的）”, especially if he continues to lie to you. You feel that hes going behind your back. You begin to think that your kids are “bad”. Because, ce

36、rtainly, if lying is bad, liars are bad. Its just that simple. Parents need to make their kids responsible for lying. But the mistake parents make is that they start to blame the kid for lying. Its considered immoral to lie. But when you look at your kid like hes a sneak, its a slippery slope （滑坡謬誤）

37、that starts with “You lie” and ends up at “Youre a bad person”.Kids know lying is forbidden. But they dont see it as hurtful. So a kid will say, “I know its wrong that I eat a sugar snack when Im not supposed to. But who does it hurt?” “I know its wrong that I trade my dried fruit for a Twinkie. But

38、 it doesnt really hurt anybody. I can handle it. Whats the big deal?” Thats what the kid sees.So I think that parents have to assume that kids are going to tell them lies, because theyre immature and they dont understand how hurtful these things are. Theyre all drawn to excitement, and theyll all ha

39、ve a tendency to distort(歪曲) the truth because theyre kids.1、Why do parents worry about their kids and feel unsafe?ANobody trusts their kids in the world because of lying.BLying always causes their kids to get hurt or get into trouble.CTheir kids are exposed to outside world without their control.DT

40、hey cant protect their kids from other kids and external media.2、Whats the authors attitude towards parents seeing kids as bad if they lie?AImmoral. BNegative.CSupportive. DDifferent.3、The underlined word “they” really refers to _.Aparents Btheir childrenCother kids Dbad things4、How do parents react

41、 to kids lying?ATaking no notice of it.BBlaming them immediately.CPretending to be angry and educate them.DAccept it but make them responsible for it.25（10分） The writer Margaret Mitchell is best known for writing Gone with the Wind, first published in 1936. Her book and the movie based on it, tell a

42、 story of love and survival during the American Civil War. Visitors to the Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta, Georgia, can go where she lived when she started composing the story and learn more about her life.Our first stop at the Margaret Mitchell House is an exhibit area telling about the writers

43、 life. She was born in Atlanta in 1900. She started writing stories when she was a child. She started working as a reporter for the Atlanta Journal newspaper in 1922.

45、esnt? “The Margaret Mitchell House is a building that once contained several apartments. Now we enter the first floor apartment where Ms. Mitchell lived with her husband, John Marsh. They made fun of the small apartment by calling it “The Dump”.Around 1926, Margaret Mitchell had stopped working as a

46、 reporter and was at home healing after an injury. Her husband brought her books to read from the library. She read so many books that he bought her a typewriter and said it was time for her to write her own book. Our guide says Gone with the Wind became a huge success. Margaret Mitchell received th

47、e Pulitzer Prize for the book. In 1939 the film version was released. It won ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture.1、The book Gone with the Wind was _.Afirst published on a newspaperBawarded ten Academy AwardsCwritten in “The Dump”Dadapted from a movie2、The underlined phrase “tower over” in Par

57、icult to let go of your anger. 1 forgiveness is possible-and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health.

58、hink of something that 4(give) you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Dont wait for 5 apology. “Many times the person who hurts you may never think of 6(apologize),” says Dr. Frederic Luskin, 7 wrote the book Forgive for Good. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just d

59、ont see things the same way. So if you wait for people 8(say) sorry, you could be waiting a very long time.” Next keep in mind that forgiveness does not 9(necessary) mean accepting the action of the person who upsets you. Instead, learn to look for the love, 10(beautiful) and kindness around you. Fi
