The eighth-grader was motivated to kick off his creation on a recent morning, when his mother was driving him to school. Their car was damaged as it went over a huge pothole in the middle of the street in their hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. He decided to do something about the pothole problem in his city.Chokwe developed the app with his friends Rodriguez Ratliff and Emmanuel Brooks. When the app detects a pothole, it is highlighted in red. And if you get close to the pothole, your phone will warn you with a beep. Drivers can also use the app to report any potholes and look for other routes they can take to avoid roads that have them.The app relies on current available information about the streets of Jackson, already stored in a database of the city’s 311 call system. Through the call system, citizens dial 3-1-1 to report non-emergency problems which include potholes. Chokwe and his friends determined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jackson would give them a large enough sample size to test the prototype.While developing the app, the boys took part in a Minority Male Makers Program sponsored by Verizon and held at Jackson State University. They learned 3D printing and design, and how to create apps. Through the program Chokwe and his friends received encouragement and guidance.Although the app isn’t y et available for sale, Chokwe is already looking for ways to improve the app. He hopes to add more to it until it spreads all over the country.24. Why is the car damage mentioned in the first paragraph?A. To praise the boy for his creationB. To remind drivers to avoid potholesC. To tell the inspiration for the app.D. To warn the danger of potholes25. What is the app used to do?A. Warn drivers about potholes.B. Help drivers obey traffic rules.C. Stop drivers using mobile phones.D. Tell drivers to avoid red lights.26. How does the app work through the 311call system?A. By replying to citizens’ calls.B. By broadcasting traffic accidents.C. By settling non- emergency problems.D. By using its information about potholes.27. Which can be Chokwe’s future target?A. Encouraging more kids to create apps.B. Taking part in more learning programs.C. Making the app available for sale online.D. Making the app in clude streets nationwide.CRecently a study, led by Pedro Hallal of the Federal University, suggests that nearly a third of adults, 31%, are not getting enough exercise. That rates of exercise have declined is hardly a new discovery. Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, technology and economic growth have helped to create a world in which taking exercise is more and more an option rather than a necessity. But only recently have enough good data been collected from enough places to carry out the sort of analysis Dr Hallal and his colleagues have engaged in.There are common themes in different places. Unsurprisingly, people in rich countries are less active than those in poor ones, and old people are less active than young ones. Less obviously, women tend to exercise less than men—34% are inactive, compared with 28% of men. But there are exceptions. The women of Croat ia, Finland, Iraq and Luxembourg, for example, move more than their male countrymen.Malta wins the race for most slothful country, with 72% of adults getting too little exercise, and Swaziland and Saudi Arabia are in close behind, with 69%. In Bangladesh, just 5% of adults fail to exercise enough. Surprisingly, six Americans in ten are active enough accordi ng to Dr Hallal’s study, compared with fewer than four in ten British.These high rates of inactivity are worrying. Human beings seem to have evolved to benefit from exercise while deliberately avoiding it whenever they can. In a state of nature, it would be impossible to live a life that did not provide enough of it. But that is no longer the case. Actually, lack of enough activity these days has nearly the same effect on life span as smoking.28. We may learn from Paragraph 1 that _________.A. the decline of exercise rates is newly discoveredB. the study suggests 31% of female adults get too little exerciseC. the industrial revolution has changed the way people live to some degreeD. the good enough data has been collected from only one country29. According to the study, women of Luxembourg _________.A. have little time to exerciseB. hate to get regular exerciseC. take more exercise to lose weightD. exercise more than men in their country30. The underlined word “slothful” in Parag raph 3 most probably means _________.A. lazyB. richC. powerfulD. unpopular31. What can be the best title for the text?A. Benefits of Taking ExerciseB. New Health DiscoveryC. Evolvement of Human BeingsD. Worldwide Lack of Enough ExerciseDBefore you walked down the aisle(过道) of the church—if you even did---did you first agree to take your husband’s name? Had you agreed to the bank for updating your credit cards? Are you willing to remake your business cards, or update the title of your Facebook?I didn’t, and I know plenty of women out there didn’t, either. So I was pretty shocked to learn that in a recent survey, over 50 percent of U.S. citizens should believe a wife must take her husband’s name—and she should be required to do so by law.Author Emily Schafer, a sociology professor at Portland State University, surveyed a representative national sample of 1,200 people that participated in the study. To her great shock, she found that a larger number of American adults think there needs to actually be a law in place to prevent women from keeping their own name.The most common reason given? The general belief is that women should prioritize（优先）their marriage and their family ahead of themselv es. To this, I admit I’m a bit confused, because I don’t understand why not taking your husband’s last name means you aren’t prioritizing your marriage.Now, I didn’t take my husband’s name for a variety of reasons: I didn’t feel like the name was “mine” a nd professionally I had built up a reputation as a writer under my maiden（女子未婚的）name, so I didn’t want to lose that. His family name wasn’t easy to spell, either; everyone gets it wrong (including my mother—still—and we’ve been married 13 years). But most of all, I felt like in taking my husband’s last name, I was losing a huge sense of self. And while yes, we are a family, I don’t want his surname to defi ne me. I’m not his possession.Just like every aspect of motherhood, each woman should be respected for the choices she makes—without having to do anything by law. And we should all be grateful to Lucy Stone—the first American woman to legally maintain her last name after marriage in 1856. Just imagine how difficult that must have been to forego（放弃） tradition in that time?32. What can be learned about the tradition of taking a husband’s name from the survey?A. A law should be there to break the tradition.B. The majority of American adults support the tradition.C. The minority of American women are in favor of the tradition.D. The law requires wives to take their husbands’ names in America.33. Why does an American woman generally take her husband’s name?A. To value her marriage and family.B. To show honesty to her husband.C. To join in the family of her husband.D. To unite a new family under the same name.34. What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about?A. Why the author didn’t use her husband’s name.B. Why the author’s mother didn’t like her husband.C. How unique and priceless the author’s own maiden name was.D. How miserable the author’s marriage was.35. What does the author think of the tradition?A. It’s reasonable to follow it.B. It still has positive significance.C. Every coin has two sides.D. It’s out of date and confusing.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。
