Thanks to modern technology, we have been able to increase greatly the efficiency of our work force. New machines and new methods have helped cut down time and expense while increasing overall output. This has meant more production and a higher standard of living. For most of us in America, modern technology is thought of as the reason why we can have cars and television sets. However, technology has also increased the amount of food available to us, by means of modern farming machinery and animal breeding techniques, and has extended our life span via(通过) medical technology. Will mankind continue to live longer and have a higher quality of life? In large measure the answer depends on technology and our ability to use it widely. If we keep making progress as we have over the past fifty years, the answer is definitely yes. The advancement of technology depends upon research and development, and the latest statistics(统计) show that the United States is continuing to pump billions of dollars annually(每年) into such efforts. So while we are running out of some scarce resources(少的资源) we may well find technological substitutes(代用品)for many of them through our research programs. Therefore, in the final analysis the three major factors of production (land, labor and capital) are all influenced by technology. When we need new skills, on techniques in medicine, people will start developing new technology to meet those needs. As equipment proves to be slow or inefficient, new machines will be invented. Technology responds to our needs in helping us maintain our standard of living. 21.

The three major factors of production include______A. Land   B. Labor   C. Capital   D. Above all23. What is the best title for the passage? _______A. The definition of technology  B. Modern technologyC. The application of technology  D. The development of technology BDeath Valley is one of the most famous deserts in the United States, covering a wide area with its alkali（碱性的）sand. Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level, and Badwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United States. Long ago the Panamint Indians called this place “Tomesha”— the land of fire. Death Valley’s present name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners coming across from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has been declared a National Monument(纪念碑) and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has hardly ruined the special beauty of this place. Here nature created a lot of surprising, almost like the sights on the moon, ever-changing as the frequent wind moves the sand about, showing the most unusual colors. One of the most astonishing and variable parts of Death Valley is the Devil’ s Golf Course, where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures(沙雕) stand on a frightening ground, as evening shadows move and lengthen. 24. _______ is the lowest place in the desert. A. Tomesha     B. Death ValleyC. Nevada     D. Badwater25.

A. no one had ever known the desert before the minersB. it’s still not easy to travel across the desertC. people can find gas-stations, cafes and hotels in the desertD. people have changed the natural sight of the desert27. From the passage we can see that the writer _______ the Death Valley. A. appreciates     B. is fearful ofC. dislikes      D. is tired of CMrs. Janes gave music lessons at a school. She had a good voice, enjoyed singing, except that some of her high tones sound like a gate that had forgotten to oil. Mrs. Janes knew her weakness well, and took every chance she could find to practice these high notes. As she lived in a small house, where she could not practice without disturbing the rest of the family, she usually went for long walks along the country roads whenever she had time and practiced her high notes there. Whenever she heard a car or a person coming along the road, she stopped and waited until she could no longer be heard before she started practicing again, because she was a shy person. One afternoon, a fast, opened car came up behind her so silently and so fast that she didn’t hear it until it was only a few yards from her. She was singing some of her highest and most difficult tones at that time and as the car passed; she saw an anxious expression came over the driver’s face. He stopped his car suddenly, jumped out and began to examine all his tyres carefully. Mrs. Janes didn’t dare to tell him what the noise he had heard really was, so he got back into the car and drove off.28. How did Mrs. Janes sing?______A.

I remember walking into my first-ever Spanish class at university only to discover that half of my classmates were already fluent in multiple languages. It’s safe to say I felt out of my depth! At first the thought of speaking Spanish terrified me; not only were my vocabulary and grammar very limited, but I had never spoken another language before. However, I was determined to overcome my fear, and by adopting a few simple methods I have been able to build my confidence and make progress. In fact, it was not as terrible as I thought. Here, I think I will share a few tips with you.Firstly, it is OK to make mistakes for language learners and that you should accept them. This sounds obvious, but when it comes to language learning we often aim for perfection and feel as though we are not ready to speak until we have "enough" words or grammatical knowledge. The truth is you will never feel ready, and instead it is important to use the knowledge to communicate what you can.This leads on to my next tip: don’t compare yourself to others. This can be a hard one, especially if you are in a large language class. It is important to remember that we all learn at different speeds and through different styles of learning. Something that really helped me progress was finding a patient language exchange partner. Finding someone whose level of English was similar to my level of Spanish to practice with made me feel much more confident.Lastly, celebrate the small success and remember how far you have come! Instead of focusing on how far you have to go, focus on the progress you have already made and be proud of your achievements!32. What does the underlined part suggest in the passage?______A. The author took great pride in his classmates.B. The author wanted to leave university immediately.C. The author failed to join in his classmates’ conversation.D. The author was unable to speak many languages.33. What is the common barrier for language learners?_______A. They fail to have a good command of grammar.B. They have a lack of courage to speak the language.C. They can’t use the language in right situations.D. They can’t help comparing themselves to others.34.What’s the best way to learn Spanish in the author’s opinion?_________A. Find a partner whose Spanish is excellent.B. Set long-term goals to improve enthusiasm.C. Learn from an example and pick out weak points.D. Choose a language exchange partner at the same level.35. What does the author want to tell in the passage?_________A. Mastering Spanish is a chance in a million.B. Learning new languages is not so hard.C. Confidence is the key to speaking a language.D. Don’t ignore what you have achieved in learning.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。（有两项多余）Do you usually feel you're working hard but still can't reach your study goals? Here are some quick tips to help you study better.Study with a partner or in groupsRather than live in a cave with your nose in the books all day, grab a friend from your class and study with him.               36               .Step into your teacher's shoesAsk yourself “ If I were the teacher, what would I put on the test?”  You have probably experienced a lot of your teacher's tests and quizzes by now.               37                . Teachers have specific types of information that they want you to learn. The structure is usually the same.Paint pictures on the paperYou can build your knowledge structure in the form of pictures. It's harder to remember each piece of a puzzle individually than it is to recall the completed picture.               38               .   39  A hungry brain is an ineffective one. Your brain needs the proper nutrients to keep it going. Because of this, what you eat and drink also plays a huge role in how              sharp your brain is. Healthy foods provide nutrients to your brain cells to keep them energized.Take breaks to relax your brainYour brain is like a muscle. It can be also tired if you overwork it.  40  . If you divide studying into 15 to 30 minutes blocks with quick breaks in between, your brain will feel refreshed, grateful and ready for the next challenge you throw at.A. Feed your brain from time to timeB. It needs exercise to make it strongerC. Relax your brain by eating and drinkingD. You'd better learn from them for the next testE. It's necessary to have a long holiday and have nice foodF. Find ways to connect what you are learning to real life or to other conceptsG.
