Songza

If you don’t want to hunt for music yourself, here is an app(应用软件）that can bring music to you.

Listed as one of last year's 50 Best Apps by The Times? Songza is me ant to “pl ay you the right music at the right time” , as USA Today put it.

Songza starts by figuring out the date and time when you start to use it on your smartphone. It then suggests the six most popular activities for that time of day. For example, on a Saturday morning，you might be provided with the choices “Waking Up”，“Cooking Breakfast” or “Singing in the Shower”. Once you choose one of these types, you're able to listen to the songs that best suit that situation. Carrot

In order to be more organized, you must have tried one of those to-do list apps. But there is one problem with these apps—you can easily give up and they don’t bother you.

Now, there is a new app, Carrot. In fact, Carrot is a task manager with a personality.

When you succeed in finishing your tasks，for example, Carrot rewards you with a message that says: “Good. Soon you’ll be completing other people’s t o-do lists” or “You’re an unstoppable task —killing machine sent from the future.” But if you fail to perform your tasks，Carrot might say: “My anger fo r you already burns with the heat of 10,000 suns, And it may change its background from white to black to show how angry it is.

Duolingo

Have you ever wanted to learn another foreign language? You might say：“English is hard enough. I don’t want to go thro ugh that again. ’’

Relax—learning a foreign language doesn’t always mean you have to sit in a class and take endless exams. An app named Duolingo has been designed to help you memorize new words and grammar in creative ways, such as online lessons, games and interesting exercises.

51. Songza is a popular App because_____.

A. it is one of the 50 Best Apps listed by The Times

B. it tells you what to do at different time of day

C. it can wake you up on a Saturday morning

D. it plays you the right music at the right time

52. If Carrot changes its background from white to black, it means____.

A. it has got angry with you

B. it’s no longer a task manager

C. you’ve finished your tasks

D. it won’t bother you any more

53. A person interested in learning another foreign language can turn to____.

A. Songza

B. Carrot

C. Duolingo

D. The Times

54. The best title for the passage is_____ .

A. Music, Tasks And Languages

B. The Advantages of the Apps

C The Meaning of New Apps D. The Apps Just for You

B

When I was 11, my job that summer was to look after my two-year-old brother, Joey. One thing that helped me not to get bored was spending time with my neighbor, a young mother-to-be.

They called her Catuzza. During the day, she missed her husband a lot. So she enjoyed the company Joey and I provided. She always smiled as if she was wondering about her own child in her body. Sometimes when the baby kicked, she would let us feel it.

After that summer, my family moved to another part of the city. Joey grew up to join the army, went to college, established a career in New York—and, suddenly, discovered at age 35 that he had a terrible disease. Doctors did a surgery on his heart but didn't give him much hope. However, Joey was determined to live, and he drew strength from the doctor he eventually found—a respected expert at St. Peter’s Hospital. This doctor would keep Joey alive. The doctor’s name, Joey told me，was Frank Lizzi.

“Frank Lizzi?” I asked. “That’s a familiar name. When were small, our neighbor was named Frank Lizzi.”

“Was Dr. Lizzi’s mother teamed Catuzza?” “That’s right. ” Joey answered, “Besides, we are not far apart in age. Dr. Lizzi is just two y ears younger than I.

Only then did the realization hit me. The unborn baby who had kicked inside Catuzza all those years before had grown up to be the doctor who saved my brother’s life.

I was very surprised at the mystery of connections. Never would any of us have imagined that this unborn baby would one day return that touch, carrying with it the same miracle (奇迹)of life itself.

55. When the author was 11，his job that summer was to____.

A. feel the unborn baby kick

B. provide company for Catuzza

C. take care of his younger brother

D. spend time with the unborn baby

56. According to the passage,____.

A. Joey would have died without Dr. Lizzi's help

B. Joey had been weak since he was young

C. Dr. Lizzi did the surgery on Joey’s heart

D. Joey stayed alive thanks to the surgery

57. We can infer from the text that____.

A. Joey and Dr. Lizzi are of the same age

B. it was Catuzza who actually saved Joey

C. Dr. Lizzi remembered Joey all the time

D. later the two families became neighbors again

58. The undetiined sentence in the last paragraph probably means____.

A. I suddenly figured out who Dr. Lizzi was

B. I realized then how lucky my brother was ，

C. Dr. Lizzi hit me on the head all of a sudden

D. I didn’t realize how old Dr. Lizzi was until then

When it comes to feeling better about yourself, nothing will help you like healthy eating. Controlling what you eat is a big factor in how you look and feel. If you think about it, then, much of how you behave, how you feel, and how your bodies perform is based on what you put into them.

The old saying “You Are What You Eat” is actually true. The problem is that many diet books are actually not working and that may even make you sick.

Healthy eating is great for your body. But many people haven't realized how important healthy food is. By eating natural and healthy foods, you can lose weight and have a lot more energy. So you shouldn’t just think of healthy eating as a way to bum fat, but you should also think of it as a way to get your life back in order.

As a result of having more energy, you can spend more time with your family and get more work done. With more energy, you will look better and be happier.

When talking about eating healthily, you'd better avoid falling for any tricks. There are some people out there looking to make quick money. They will tell you something so they can sell books or videos. But what you need is to trust a diet plan that is truly right for your body. Educate yourself about your own body type. Find out what kinds of foods are the best for you. If the diet book you trust doesn’t teach you these important things, then you might be reading bad information.

59. In the author s opinion, if you want to feel better about yourself, you should___.

A. keep doing work

B. avoid an unhealthy diet

C. try to lose weight

D. make a different diet plan

60. By saying that “Yo u Are What You Eat”, the author means___.

A. what we eat provides more energy

B. not all diet books are good for us

C. healthy food is important for us

D. everyone has to live on food

61. The underlined word”it” in Para graph 3 refers to___.

A. having more energy

B. eating healthily

C. losing weight

D. burning fat

62. The passage mainly tells about____.

A. how to choose diet books

B. how to sell diet books

C. how to make a diet plan

D. how to eat healthily

D

A man enters a store to buy milk. He walks out of the store with milk, That’s all-- milk. At the same time, a woman enters the same store and also buys milk. Besides, she buys chicken to make dinner that night. Then she gets coffee for breakfast and remembers stamps to mail the bills.

And that is the difference between the female and male brains simply explained in a store. Generally speaking, men do one thing at a time while women do many. Doing many things at one time is often called ^multi-tasking a very popular word these days.

Now scientific research supports this theory about male and female brains. A recent study has proved what we have known all along—men and women think differently.

Last year, some scientists studied brain images of 949 people aged from 8 to 22 years old They found that male brains have more connections only on one side of the brain. In the female brain, they found more activities and connections between the right and left sides of the brain The left side of the brain is known as the side of “reason”. The right one is known as the “creative” side.

Regina Verma, a professor in the brain study, says when women are asked to do something difficult they might use different parts of the brain. Men, she adds, generally use just one side of the brain.

As a result, men generally deal directly with a problem. In fact, there is a strong connection between the “understandings and the “action”parts of men’s brains. Women, however, might include other parts of the brain, like the part connected with rsson §d the part connected with sensitivity (敏感性) when solving a problem. They take a less direct path to find a solution.

63. In paragraph 1 , the writer is trying to____ .

A. introduce the topic of the passage

B. describe how whopping is going on

C. compare behaviors of ms and women

D. tell us that women buy more than men

64. W hat’s the finding of the study?

A. Womeh can find a solution to a problem directly.

B. Men use different parts of the brains to solve a problem.

C. Men and women think differently when solving probles.

D. A female brain has more connections on onesidc of the brain

65. In which section of a newspaper are we more likely to read this article?

A. Science.

B. Business.

C. Education.

D. Life.

四、One possible version

In recent years, some school sports meetings have cost more and more. For example, it is typical of more and more students to purchase the sports uniforms, which they don’t usually wear in their daily life. Besides, posters and slogans for the sports meetings are made almost every time, which usually cost a large amount of money. And unfortunately, these behaviors result in a big waste of money and they will also put a heavy burden on our parents.

In my opinion, when we are having a school sports meeting, we’d better f ocus on the sports events themselves, try to develop the team spirit, relieve our pressure and get fun as well. (100 words)
