Mobile phones are one of the most useful inventions of the last 50 years, but not everything that is said about them is good. Mobiles are often believed to be the cause of a number of things from poor eyesight and headaches to house fires. There’s even one theory that mobile phones should be responsible for the disappearance of bees!

The theory is that the radiation (辐射) given off by mobile phones does great harm to bees’ navigation systems (导航系统),Bees have built-in system a bit like GPS and this helps them find their way back to their hives (蜂巢). But recently, thousands of bees have failed to find their way home. It is believed they are dying far from their hives.

The problem was first noticed by beekeepers in America and is a lot more serious than it at first seems. The important thing about bees is that most of the crops in many countries of the world are pollinated by them. Without bees, the crops can’t continue to grow. Many beekeepers in Europe have reported losing between 50 and 70 percent of their bees. Jim Piper, London beekeeper, said to the reporter, “My business is becoming wore. Twenty-nine of my forty hives are now empty.”

Nobody knows for sure whether the theory is true or not, but it’s a fact that bees are disappearing in very large numbers. And we can’t manage without them. Einstein said that if all our bees disappeared, man would only live for four more years! If the mobile phone theory is correct, we need to do something about it right now-before it’s too late.

(    ) 46. What might be caused by mobiles according to Paragraph 1?

A. Poor listening   B. The forest fires.

A. Bees have GPS inside their bodies.

B. Mobiles have an influence on bees’ hives.

C. The radiation makes bees unable to fly.

When I was in eighth grade, my English teacher Joan announced that we were going to learn about prepositional phrases (介词短语). “There are over forty commonly used prepositions,” she continued. “And everyone must memorize them.” Joan recited (背诵) these prepositions as easily as saying the days of the week She said you would find grammar easy when you memorized them. I tried my best and finally succeeded. Then, grammar became easier, just as Joan bad promised.

In addition to singing the prepositions, she shared other useful language points. I still remembered her catchy phrase: “Good better best, never let it rest, until your good is better, and your better is best.”

After high school, I went to college, majoring (主修) in—my parents couldn’t believe it—English! In a creative writing class in my junior year, I recited the prepositions for my professor and classmates. I explained bow my eighth grade teacher, Joan, had often said that a strategically placed prepositional phrase could add depth and variety to sentences. Impressed, my professor asked for a copy of Joan’s list and other tricks of the trade that I remembered.

After graduating from college, I landed a job teaching eighth grade English. I tried best the way Joan had to make grammar easy. I started the unit with prepositions coming first. Memorization was the important part. Before long, the students were singing the prepositions to their favorite tunes. One year, since it was near Christmas, we all sang the prepositions to “Jingle Bells”.

I also required students to recite the prepositions in ten seconds or less. If you thought that was impossible, then you didn’t know eighth graders. They welcomed any trouble, and with no homework as a motivator, they got right down to business. I pulled out a stopwatch and timed the students daily to judge their progress; 21, 16, 12, then bingo, 10 seconds!

I taught eighth grade English for thirty-eight years. Looking back, teaching English was a tough but worthwhile job, and I loved it every day.

(    ) 51. Why did Joan ask her students to memorize prepositions?

A. She wanted them to overcome their weak points.

B. She thought this benefits their grammar learning.

C. Memory exercises are a quick way to learn English.

D. Prepositions are a hot part to be examined in exams.

C. created some ways of teaching suitable for students

D. got to understand the difficulty in teaching prepositions

C. He was very popular among his students.

D. He devoted all his life to grammar teaching.

Food sometimes gets poisoned with harmful things. A person who eats such food can get an illness called food poisoning. Food poisoning is usually not serious, but some types are deadly. The symptoms of food poisoning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food. Fever is one of the most common symptoms.

Certain microorganisms (微生物) cause most types of food poisoning. Bacteria and other microorganisms can poison eggs, meat, vegetables, and many other foods. After entering the body, these tiny living things release (释放) poisons that make people sick.

Some chemicals can also cause food poisoning. They are often added to food while it is being grown, processed, or prepared. For example, many farmers spray chemicals on crops to kill weeds and insects. Some people may have a bad reaction to those chemicals when they eat the crops.

Some plants and animals contain natural poisons that are harmful to people. These include certain kinds of seafood, grains, nuts, seeds, beans, and mushrooms.

When people handle food properly, the risk of food poisoning is very small. Microorganisms multiply rapidly in dirty places and in warm temperatures. This means that people should never touch food with dirty hands or put food on unwashed surfaces. Food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganisms from growing. Meat needs to be cooked thoroughly to kill any dangerous microorganisms. People should also wash food covered with chemicals before eating it. Finally, people should not eat wild mushrooms or other foods that grow in the wild. Some of these foods may contain natural materials that are poisonous to humans. In addition, some types of fish can be poisonous.

Most people recover from food poisoning after a few days of resting and drinking extra water. If people eat natural poisons, they must go to the hospital right away to have their stomachs emptied.

(    ) 56. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. Food when poisoned can make people sick  B. Food poisoning means death

(    ) 58. Food poisoning can be caused by all the following EXCEPT ______.

With the development of society, many great technological inventions appear around us. As for me, I like high-speed train best.

In the past, it took us about 20 hours from Shenzhen to Wuhan. But now the speed of high-speed train is 250-350 per hour, so it only takes us about 4 hours to get to Wuhan. This saves us a lot of time. Moreover, it’s comfortable to take the high-speed train because it moves smoothly, and we can do some reading and watch movies without any problem. We can not only enjoy the view out of the windows but also have a relaxing time on the train. Many people choose to take the high-speed train because of the lower price than the plane, and it is very convenient. It’s also a green way to travel, which can save energy and do good to our environment. What a great creative invention!

Technology plays an important role in our daily life. We benefit from them a lot and they are changing our lives greatly.
