When American Matt Stopera’s iPhone went missing, he thought, “Well, bad luck. These things happen.” One year later, Matt’s misfortune has turned to good fortune as he found a new friend and became an Internet celebrity in China.

You may already be familiar with this story since it spread on Weibo for weeks during the Spring Festival, but it started when Matt began seeing photos of a Chinese man in front of an orange tree on his photo stream (照片流). He wrote about it and some Chinese readers decided to see if they could find the mysterious man. They did. It turns out that “Brother Orange,” as he became known, owned a restaurant in Guangdong and the iPhone he was using, a gift from a nephew, was Matt’s old phone.

Matt and Brother Orange began messaging each other and a friendship blossomed with Matt invited to China to feast at Brother Orange’s restaurant on his delicious Hakkacuisine (客家菜). Matt was also overwhelmed by the warmth of the millions of Chinese who were following the story. When he opened a Weibo account he had 22 million followers almost overnight, many of them inviting him to their hometowns and offering to be his tour guide.

Matt’s story is another example of how powerful the Internet and social networking has become in bringing people together. But there is a darker side to this story and that involves how Matt’s missing iPhone turned up in China. Over three million smart-phones were stolen in America last year. Because of identification numbers, these phones can’t be used in America, so they are sent to other countries and many of them end up in China, where they can be re-activated. This is why Matt and Brother Orange could share the same iCloud account.

You should keep this in mind when buying a second-hand phone and check the serial number to see that it has not been stolen. Finding a friend through social networking is wonderful, but using a stolen phone isn’t really the best way to make the connection.

4. What happened to Matt one year after he lost his phone?

A. He was fortunate enough to get his phone back. 

B. He became a famous figure on American website.

C. He gained friendship and became popular in China. 

D. He lost another phone because of his iCloud account.

5. How did Matt and Brother Orange establish their friendship?

A. Brother Orange’s photo was found on the Internet.

B. Chinese readers tried their best to find Brother Orange.

C. Brother Orange received an iPhone from his nephew.

D. Brother Orange contacted Matt and invited him to China.

6. How did Matt’s followers react to his Weibo?

A. cautiously B. enthusiastically C. anxiously D. humorously

7. What does the story indicate?

A. It’s wonderful to find a friend through social net-working.

B. A stolen phone is the best way to make connections.

C. People should be careful when buying a second-hand phone.

D. Matt and Brother Orange set a good example to us.

At Jenner Park primary School in Wales, pupils between the ages of seven and nine are writing letters to residents of a local care home. The initiative sees children and their elderly pen pals(笔友) exchange updates about their lives, helping to build relationships between generations while also giving the children an understanding of the value of writing letters by hand—an activity that's becoming less and less common.

Laura Johnson, the teacher who coordinates(协调) the scheme at Jenner Park, says: "All of our writing is for a purpose. That's the key in getting children to value handwriting. "As soon as you put an audience there, knowing that someone out there is going to be reading it—whether that's parents or another group of children—there's always the real sense of pride to go along with it," says Johnson.

The school maintains a focus on handwriting throughout the years, from dedicated handwriting classes in the prep school to a calligraphy club offered to the older groups. It has created something called the pen license. It allows younger children to move from using a pencil to pen once they've reached a certain standard. "There's a lot of excitement about reaching that pen licence stage," says Johnson.

Johnson adds that developing students' writing in this way matters for their life after school: "For us, it's important that we create citizens of the future who have a set of life skills that can make them successful." The dominance of technology is a challenge, she admits, but she also believes both tools have their place. "Obviously we're competing with technology continuously." she says." And I know there are people there saying you don't need to bother about handwriting because tech is out there. But we don't see it as competing. We're trying to get pupils to realize that there's a place for handwriting and to know when it's important to use each."

8. Why does the school launch the initiative?

A. To help children to find the meaning of handwriting.

B. To encourage children to show pity for the aged.

C. To persuade children to choose proper courses.

D. To urge children to acknowledge the audience.

9. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the school?

A. Its after-class activities. B. Its practice in handwriting.

C. Its academic achievements. D. Its innovation in technology.

10. What can we infer from the last paragraph about handwriting?

A. It will win against technology. B. It will give way to technology.

C. It will co-exist with technology. D. It will cause confusion to people.

11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Handwriting promotes the pen pal scheme

B. Slow communication reduces misunderstanding

C. Creative ideas for dealing with challenges gain popularity

D. Putting pen to paper contributes to a love of the written word

D

Batman may not have any superpowers, but his inspiration certainly does.

More than 1,400 bat species live around the world, except in Antarctica and a few remote islands. Over their 50 million years of evolution, bats have developed clever solutions to life’s challenges, from a built-in sonar (声呐) system for finding food to fast, flexible wings that produce the fastest level-flight speed of any animal on Earth.

“There is still a lot to learn, but it is clear that bats really do have superpowers,” says Rodrigo Medellín, an ecologist. “Bats are showing us how to live a better life, for instance, by serving as models for healthy living and long lives.”

As a general rule in biology, smaller animals have shorter lives than larger ones. But bats are rule breakers: they’re the longest-lived mammals (哺乳动物) relative to their body size. Recently, scientists looked inside bats’ cells for the secrets to their exceptionally long lives. They focused on telomeres (端粒), which are the protective structures found at the ends of chromosomes (染色体). In most animals, telomeres tend to get shorter with age. But the telomeres of the longest-lived group of bats, Myotis, do not appear to shrink (收缩) with age. Understanding why bats live so long may help humans live longer one day.

In addition to living longer, bats remain healthy throughout their lives, with very low risk of developing cancer. Furthermore, bats can carry deadly viruses without getting sick. So further research into their unique immune (免疫的) systems may actually give insight into how people can live with viruses and not get sick.

Beyond their own abilities, bats also support many other parts of their ecosystems. Three out of every four bat species eat insects. Many are pests that cause damage to important agricultural crops, such as cotton. Scientists estimate that insect-eating bats may save U.S. farmers about 1 billion per year. In addition, many bat species help improve plant health and diversity.

“Bats are unsung heroes of biodiversity,” says Medellín. “It’s about time we appreciated them.”

12. What can be learned about bats from the text?

A. They fly the fastest of all land animals.

B. They are at low risk of falling sick with a virus.

C. They live mainly on the islands of Antarctica.

D. They are the longest-lived animals given their size.

13. What did scientists recently find?

A. Animals’ telomeres rarely shrink with age.

B. Myotis’s telomeres do not shorten as they age.

C. Smaller animals usually live shorter lives than larger ones.

D. More research into bat telomeres could help people live more healthily.

14. What is the author’s intention in writing the last paragraph but one?

A. To show what bats feed on.

B. To call on people to protect bats.

C. To explain how bats benefit the farmers.

D. To highlight the importance of bats to the ecosystem.

15. What would be a suitable title for this text?

A. Bats Offer Clues to Treating Diseases

B. How Bats Deal with Life’s Challenges

C. Scientists Unlock the Secrets to Long Lives

D. Why Bats Are Superheroes of the Animal World

    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。

They’d been planning this forever. From her birth, most likely. Mya's mother, Helena loved hosting parties. And Aunt Beatrice loved birthdays. Together, they'd make her Sweet Sixteen a hundred times bigger, bolder, and brighter than it needed to be. They selected a theme every year and stuck to it. Her fourteenth had been the “Snow White” and her ninth had been the “Frozen”. They never told her what the theme was the day before. She'd just wake up her birthday morning, a brand new birthday outfit (一套服装) laid neatly on her dresser (an outfit related to the theme, of course) and she would open her door to see the adventure that lay ahead of her that day.

Mya had a few guesses as to what this year’s theme would be. A play on the words “Sweet Sixteen” was likely — a candy themed party, perhaps? But she’d had a baking party a few years ago — and Helena was anything but repetitive. Mya didn't have any interest in cars, so she doubted a sports-car party was on the menu. She’d tried to look through her mother’s purchase history online, but her mother had been careful enough to delete everything recent. So the only clue left was the birthday outfit she would receive the next morning.

May 1st, Mya woke. The bright sunlight begged her eyes to open and she loved the day that her birthday took place. It was always nice out on May 1st and it never rained. This morning was no different than her previous birthdays. She sat up in her bed and looked to her dresser before slipping out of bed and inspecting the outfit. She unfolded it and held it against her body, seeing how it was like. It reached down, just above the ankle. Mya dressed, eyed herself in the mirror and found it was not so much a pretty outfit as she had received before. It was totally one for blue-collar workers!

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。

Suddenly, her thoughts were interrupted by a knock.
