            • 1． October 17，1989is a day San Francisco will never forget．On that day，an uncommon number of tragedies took place．It was also a day when total strangers became linked．The story of Jim Betts and Julio Berumen is a moving example of one such meeting．
              On that day，Petra Berumen took her daughter Cathy to the dentist．Also in the car was her son six-year-old Julio and their family friend Yolanda．Soon after Petra drove onto the highway，disaster struck．Without warning，the earth began to shake．
              The damage was terrible．Hugh trees bent as if they were made of rubber．Streets cracked and buildings collapsed．At least a stretch of the highway had crashed onto the lower level．
              Then as quickly as it started，the earthquake stopped．The Berumens’s car had been crushed be the steel．Petra and Yolanda were killed instantly．Cathy escaped unhurt but Julio，though still alive，was in danger．Not only was his right leg pinned down by the steel，he was also squeezed between the dead bodies of his mother and Yolanda．
              Rescuers had calmed Julio by the time Jim Betts，a doctor from Oakland Hospital，arrived．For two hours，Jim tried to free Julio with two bare hands．He did not stop to worry about the fact that aftershocks could send the highway to the ground．As soon as Julio was breathing，Jim kept working．However，Julio was languishing．Jim realized that he had only one choice．He would have to cut the boy’s right leg at the knee．Conditions were far from ideal．It was hot inside the car．Darkness had fallen outside．
              With great care，Jim started the operation．He had to try risky methods．Finally Julio was free．
              Those hours on the highway were like a nightmare．Jim said：“If my family members were up there badly hurt，they would urgently need help like that．”Though the day the earthquake tore many things apart，it also brought brave people together．

              66．The San Francisco earthquake was an uncommon event for Julio and Jim because    ．
              A．the earth shook violently and suddenly
              B．they became linked unexpectedly
              C．they neither could see the broken highway
              D．they both lost their family members
              67．In the fifth paragraph，Julio was languishing，which means that he was    ．
              A．about to die
              B．complaining about the pain
              C．losing his voice
              D．crying
              68．According to the passage，Jim    ．
              A．successfully performed the operation
              B．had necessary equipment to rescue Julio
              C．was able to save Julio’s right leg
              D．had one family member operated on
              69．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage    ？
              A．The Berumens were trying to leave the dangerous city when the earthquake struck．
              B．Two people of the Berumen family finally survived from the earthquake．
              C．Knowing aftershocks would come soon，Jim tried to rescue Julio from the car．
              D．The conditions were agreeable enough for Jim to perform the operation．

            • 2． The Netherlands on Monday introduced its first-ever“intelligent bicycle，fitted with electronic devices to help bring clown the high accident rate among elderly cyclists in the bicycle-mad country．
              Developed for the government by the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research （TNO），the intelligent bicycle，runs on electricity．A commercial-available bicycle is expected to be on the market in the next two years and should sell for between 1，700 to 3，200 euros per bicycle．
              The devices on the bike are linked through an onboard computer with a vibrating （震动的） warning system fitted in the bicycle's saddle and handlebars to warn cyclists of the coming danger．
              The saddle vibrates when other cyclists approach from  behind，while，the handlebars do the same when barriers appear ahead．
              “Accidents often happen when cyclists look behind them or get a fright when they are passed at high speed，“said Maurice Kwakkernaat，one of TNO's research scientists involved in the project．“The onboard system technology has already been at work in the car industry，“he said．
              ''More and more elderly people are using a bicycle，not only for short distances，but also for longer distances，“Dutch Environment and Infrastructure Minister Melanie Schultz van Haegen told AFP．“This type of bicycle is truly needed in the Netherlands because it will help us bring down the number of elderly people who are injured every year and allow them to continue to enjoy cycling，“she said．
              In the Netherlands，bicycles outnumber the population of 17 million by at least one million and there are some 25，000 km of bicycle path in the country．Those statistics are set to grow as more and more people take to two-wheeled transport，leading to an increased risk of injury．
              Last year，184 cyclists died in the country，of which 124，or 67%，were older than 65，according to the Central Statistics Office．The year before，200 cyclists died，the majority of victims also being elderly．
              The current model weighs 25 kilograms but researchers are working on making the onboard systems smaller．
              63．The intelligent bicycle is aimed to    ．
              A．protect the environment                 
              B．help reduce traffic pressure
              C．popularize the use of bicycles            
              D．improve safety for elderly cyclists
              64．Which part of the intelligent bicycle will vibrate when other cyclists approach it from behind？    
              A．The saddle．                           
              B．The wheels．
              C．The handlebars．                       
              D．The onboard computer．
              65．We can learn from the passage that    ．
               A．the elderly ride bicycles wherever they go
               B．the elderly are planning to give up cycling
               C．the number of elderly cyclists is decreasing
               D．the accident rate among elderly cyclists is high
              66．Which is the best title for the passage？    
               A．A Test Bicycle                         B．Elderly Cyclists
               C．A Smart Bicycle                        D．A Bicycle-mad Country．

            • 3． Whether in the home or the workplace，social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years．Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way，said Cynthia Breazeal，chief scientist at the robot company Jibo．
              While household robots today do the normal housework，social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools．For example，these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad．This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user．
              The Jibo robot，arranged to ship later this year，is designed to be a personalized assistant．You can talk to the robot，ask it questions，and make requests for it to perform different tasks．The robot doesn’t just deliver general answers to questions； it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household．It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos．
              Social robots are not just finding their way into the home．They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces．
              Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market．The company’s“Oshbot”robot is built to assist customers in a store，which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’s location in the store．It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for．
              The more interaction the robot has with humans，the more it learns．But Oshbot，like other social robots，is not intended to replace workers，but to work alongside other employees．“We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us，but with us，”said Breazeal．

              41．How are social robots different from household robots？    ．
              A．They can control their emotions．
              B．They are more like humans．
              C．They do the normal housework．
              D．They respond to users more slowly．
              42．What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3？    
              A．Communicate with you and perform operations．
              B．Answer your questions and make requests．
              C．Take your family pictures and deliver milk．
              D．Obey your orders and remind you to take pills．
              43．What can Oshbot work as？    ．
              A．A language teacher．B．A tour guide．
              C．A shop assistant．D．A private nurse．
              44．We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will    ．
              A．train employeesB．be our workmates
              C．improve technologiesD．take the place of workers
              45．What does the passage mainly present？    ．
              A．A new design idea of household robots．

            • 4． If you’re secretly worried about your smartphon addiction，then the nw NoPhone might be just the thing you need．It looks and feels exactly like a smartphone，but it does nothing．It's just a piece of plastic that you can carry around in your hand to fool yourself．
              Dutch designer lngmar Larsen came up with the idea as a joke along with his two friends．To their great surprise，the idea received a lot of attention online and people from all over the world staned placing requests for NoPhones of their own．So that’s when the three friends decided to turn to collect enough fund for mass production．
              NoPhone is currently a prototype（模型）that will cost only $12once it hits the market．It is 5.5inches high，2.6inches wide and 0.29inches thick，bringing it quite close to the latest smartphenes on the market．It is described as“battery free”，“no upgrades necessary”，“shatterproof（抗震）”，“waterproof'’and“an alternative to constant hand-to-phone contact that allows you to stay connected with the real world”．
              “Phone addiction is everywhere．”the designers insist．“It’s ruining your dates．It’s distracting you at concerts．It’s blocking sidewalks．Now，there is a real solution．With a thin．
              1ight and completely wireless design，the NoPhone acts as a substitute to any smart mobile device，enabling you to always have a phone to hold without giving up potential engagement with your direct environment．”
              If you’re interested in NoPhone，but concerned about not being able to take selfies（自拍） anymore．Don’t feel upset．The makers do have an upgrade at no extra charge-the mirror sticker．That way，they say，you can enjoy‘real-time’selfies with your friends when they’re standing right behind you．

              32．What can NoPhone do for people according to the text？    
              A．It is actually a new kind of real smartphone．
              B．It can help us stay away from the real world．
              C．It helps get rid of people’s smartphone addiction．
              D．It’s just a piece of plastic and can do nothing．
              33．What is Paragraph 3mainly about？    
              A．The size of Nophone．    B．The inventors of Nophone．

            • 6． Forget Cyclists，Pedestrians are Real Danger
              We are having a debate about this topic．Here are some letters from our readers．
              ■Yes，many cyclists behave dangerously．Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists．But pedestrians are probably the worse offenders．
              People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to the mobile phone，quite unaware of what is going on around them．They may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere．The rest of us have to evade （避让） them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision．
              The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be，at least for the moment，in worlds of their own that are，to them，much more important than the welfare of others．
              --Michael Horan
              ■I love the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists （Viewpoints，May 29）．I am afraid they seem to think they own the roads．
              I was walking across Altrincham Road one morning when a cyclist went round me and on being asked what he was doing he shouted at me．
              The government built a cycle lane on the road but it is hardly used．
              The police do nothing．What a laugh they are!
              The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets，fluorescent （发荧光的） jacket and lights at night and in the morning they should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them．
              --Carol Harvey
              ■Cyclists jump on and off pavements （which are meant for pedestrians），ride at speed along the pavements，and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red．
              I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next to him．
              Other road users，including horse riders，manage to obey the rules so why not cyclists？
              It's about time they had to be registered and insured，so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle，or cause an accident，at least they can be treated and there might be an opportunity to claim．
              --JML
              Write to Viewpoints of the newspaper．

              56．Michael Horan wrote the letter mainly to show that    ．
              A．drivers should be polite to cyclists
              B．road accidents can actually be avoided
              C．sine pedestrians are a threat to road safety
              D．walking while using phones hurts one's eyes
              57．Carol Harvey suggests that cyclists should    ．
              A．be provided with enough roads
              B．be asked to ride on their own lanes

            • 7． A team of scientists from University of Freiburg in Germany are developing a shoe with a sensor to automatically tie its laces（鞋带）that could be taken off when users click their heels together．
              It’s been 26years since we saw them magically tightening Marty McFly’s Nike boots in the film Back to The Future．
              Now，self-tying shoelaces could actually become a reality this year，proving right one of the film’s fantastical predictions for what 2015would be like．
              Engineers have designed a shoe that can automatically lace up，adjusting itself to the shape of your foot．
              Simply slip the controller on and pressure sensors will tell the‘smart shoe’when your foot is in position，triggering（触发）a tiny motor in the heel that pulls the laces tight．
              When you want to take off the shoes，you click your heels together twice and the motor will release a spring（弹簧）in the shoe’s tongue，which loosens the laces enough for you to slip them off．
              And the invention doesn’t even need to be plugged in to charge or have its battery  replaced because it runs on power generated by the swing of your foot as you walk•
              Engineer K1evis Ylli，of the Institute for Micromachining and Information Technology in southern Gemany，said the shoes could help a variety of different people．
              “One focus is that it could be used in shoes for elderly people who have mobility problems，”he said．“But it could also work for children，or as a lifestyle product．”．
              The design，which is still in a prototype（雏形）stage，cleverly gets the energy of the foot’s swing when opposing magnets in each shoe move past each other．It then uses that power to charge a battery．An hour of walking is enough to tighten the laces once，and it requires no energy to undo the shoes because that relies on the spring alone．

              29．Which of the following can be the best title of the text    ？
              A．A fantastical prediction    
              B．A great invention in Germany
              C．A shoe with self-tying laces 
              D．A popular lifestyle product
              30．What can we learn about the shoes    ？
              A．They can automatically take off．
              B．They can adjust themselves to your foot．
              C．They need to be charged once．
              D．They have been in design for 26years．
              31．From the last paragraph we can know    ．
              A．the shoes have been put into use
              B．the shoes need power to take off
              C．the shoes promise to be popular
              D．how the shoes work to produce energy．

            • 8． Some people believe that a Robin Hood is at work，others that a wealthy person simply wants to distribute his or her fortune before dying．But the donator who started sending envelopes with cash to deserving causes，accompanied by an article from the local paper，has made a northern German city believe in fairytales （童话）．
                     The first envelope was sent to a victim support group．It contained€10，000 with a cutting from the Braunschiveiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was robbed of her handbag； similar plain white anonymous （匿名）envelopes，each containing€10，000，then arrived at a kindergarten and a church．
                     The envelopes keep coming，and so far at least€190，000 has been distributed．Last month，one of them was sent to the newspaper's own office．It came after a story it published about Tom，a 14-year-old boy who was severely disabled in a swimming accident．The receptionist at the Braunschiveiger Zeitung opened an anonymous white envelope to find 20 notes of€500 inside with a copy of the article．The name of the family was underlined．
              “I was driving when I heard the news，“Claudia Neumann，the boy's mother，told Der Spiegel magazine．“I had to park on the side of the road； I was speechless．“
                     The money will be used to make the entrance to their house wheelchair-accessible and for a course of treatment that their insurance company refused to pay for．
              “For someone to act so selflessly，for this to happen in such a society in which everyone thinks of himself，was astonishing，“Mrs．Neumann said．Her family wonder whether the donator is a Robin Hood character，taking from banks to give to the needy．
                     Henning Noske，the editor of the Braunschiveiger Zeitung，said：“Maybe it is an old person who is about to die．We just do not know．“However，he has told his reporters not to look for the city's hero，for fear that discovery may stop the donations．

              A．a church                        B．a bank

              D．His mother felt astonished at the donation．

            • 10． Love，success，happiness，family and freedom----how important are these values to you？Here is one interview which explores the fundamental questions in life．
                Question：Could you introduce yourself first？
                Answer：My name is Misbah，27years old．I was born in a war-torn area．Right now I’m a web designer．
                Q：What are your great memories？
                A：My parents used to take us to hunt birds，climb trees，and play in the fields．For me it was like a holiday because we were going to have fun all day long．Those are my great memories．
                Q：Does your childhood mean a lot to you？
                A：Yes．As life was very hard，I used to work to help bring money in for the family．I spent my childhood working，with responsibilities beyond my age．However，it taught me to deal with problems all alone．I learnt to be independent．
                Q：What changes would you like to make in your life？
                A：If I could change something in my life，I’d change it so that my childhood could have taken place in another area．I would have loved to live with my family in freedom．Who cares whether we have much money，or whether we have a beautiful house？It doesn’t matter as long as I can live with my family and we are safe．
                Q：How do you get along with your parents？
                A：My parents supported me until I came of age．I want to give back what I’ve got．That’s our way．But I am working in another city．My only contact with my parents now is through the phone，but I hate using it．It filters（过滤） out your emotion and leaves your voice only．My deepest feelings should be passed through sight，hearing and touch．
