AIn summer holiday, the kids are out of school, so it is a good time to plan for a family travel. However, it’s not easy to prepare for a family travel. Here are four travel apps (应用程序) to make your trip more relaxing.YugglerIt can search nearby for family-friendly activities from free events to worthwhile attractions. Use Yuggler to plan for what to do each day, based on the weather or the type of entertainment your kids want or need, and look through reviews written by parents who’ve been there. So instead of paying $20 per person for the entrance to the big museum, you can locate fun spots with free admission, saving a family $80.Sit or SquatHeld by Charmin, this app uses your phone’s built-in location finder to find out the closest public restrooms. Perhaps more importantly, Sit or Squat provides the restrooms scores of cleanliness, which are given by the users who have been there. It is quite convenient.My Disney ExperienceThe official Walt Disney World app’s interactive map(互动地图), which uses your phone’s GPS to help you find restaurants, restrooms, andattractions nearby. You can also access the real-time waiting time for popular rides and cartoon characters a ppearance, meaning you’re making full use of your time.Wi-Fi FinderFinding the free Internet near your current location in a minute. Wi-Fi Finder works offline too. Before you head out, download the offline database(数据库) to your phone, so you won’t waste data while searching for a hotspot, which is key during international trip. You’ll save as much as 15% of the hotel Wi-Fi cost.21. Which app can be used to save the entrance fee?A. Yuggler.B. Sit or Squat.C.Wi-Fi Finder.D. My Disney Experience.22. According to the passage, how can you find restrooms quickly while traveling?A. Asking for the guide.B. Downloading the database to your phone.C. Turning to Yuggler.D. Using a built-in location finder in your phone.23. Which of the following is likely to help avoid wasting time during traveling according to the passage?A. The location guide.B. A family-friendly plan.C. The interactive map.D. Paying $20 more per person.24. What is the best free way to surf the Internet?A. Searching for the hotspot.B. Using your phone’s GPS.C. Going to the Internet bar.D. Finding the free Internet in location.BThe house seems empty without his heavy breathing, snorting(喷鼻息) and constant need for attention. I wasn’ t prepared to say goodbye.Cody would have been 16 in the spring and although he never did any of the talking, I had more conversations with this dog over the past five years while working from a home office than I did with any human. He was my co-worker, friend and therapist(治疗师).There wasn’t a meal I didn’t share with Cody, not because he begged, more because I wanted to. If I got too absorbed in work to realize it was time for lunch he’d remind me w ith a gentle push and then walk toward the kitchen. When it was quitting time, he’d get up from his usual spot in the office and stare at me until I got the hint that it was time to start making dinner. I guess he was also my time manager.We don’t know wh at dogs are thinking about, but I dear to say Cody could read my mind. Before he was too old, blind and deaf to go for walks, as soon as I thought it was time to go, he’d be up and at the door before I could get my shoes on. The same situation was played out when it came to swimming. We’d spell out the word, s-w-i-m, trying to trick him and he’d still race to the back door, ready to jump in the pool and lie on his raft.We lost his brother Cooper almost two years ago, and without the two of them, it seems a s if we’re not sure what to do with ourselves. We're still expecting Cody to greet us at the door, when we come home, as though we’ve been away for months. I hated having to ask my daughter Amanda, the family, to come over and put down a family member, but I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to do it.Goodbye my dear friend Cody. Until I see you again.25.The writer had more conversations with this dog because ____________.A. the writer lived aloneB. the writer worked at homeC. the writer loved pets than humansD. Cody separated the writer and other humans26.The phrase “absorbed in” in the third paragraph can be replaced by ____________.A. tired fromB. sick ofC. buried inD. connected to27. From the fifth paragraph, we can learn that ________________.A. Cody never greeted the writer at the doorB. the writer is not used to living without CodyC. Amanda is not fond of CodyD. someone offered to put down Cody but the writer refusedCIn his great novel A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens begins his story with these well-known lines: “It was the best of times; it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom; it was the age of foolishness; ... it was the season of light; it was the season of darkness; ... we had everything before us; we had nothing before us...”Some might wonder what he was talking about. In fact he was just stating some facts about the way people view time and events differently. Obviously, “time” is always with us and will always play an impo rtant part in our lives. We find references to time every day and everywhere in America: “Time is money,” “time is right,” “time out,”...Although we might think that in America we are all in agreement on how we view time，we are not. Areas, groups, organizations, and individuals all have their own ideas of how to view time. For example, in some cultures time means “more relaxed”. If you are invited to a dinner party in New Orleans, you should arrive ten to twenty minutes after the stated “time”. If youarrive at the time given on the invitation you will be considered rude because your hosts will still be preparing and will not be ready to receive you. In other parts of the US, time is of the greatest importance. If you arrive late for an appointment in Chicago, you will be considered a little careless with your knowledge of timing. The person you were supposed to meet might even leave depending on how late you are. He will give you ten minutes and then decide that you are not coming.How, you might ask, is one to know exactly how to look at time in strange surroundings? The best answer is to observe individuals and groups around you and try to view time in the same manner as the most people who surround you view time.28. Dickens begins his A Tale of Two Cities with_________.A. his personal opinions about wisdomB. a brief description of the changes of seasonC. a detailed discussion about the importance of timeD. completely different attitudes to time and life29. In New Orleans, if a guest arrives at a dinner fifteen minutes later, the hosts may feel .A.surprisedB. embarrassedC. pleasedD. disappointed30. Which may b e the author’s suggestion for people going to meetings in Chicago?A. Don’t arrive late at the meeting.B. Leave the meeting ten minutes earlier.C. Don’t make appointments in the meeting.D. Tell others your knowledge of timing first.31. Which of these sayings best suits the advice expressed in the lastparagraph?A. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.B. Cut the coat according to the cloth.C. Where there is a will, there is a way.D. Learn to walk before you run.DScientists have found the way “mother”plants use their memory of the seasons to teach their seeds (种子) the best time to germinate (发芽).Researchers led by Professor Ian Graham, of the University of York, working with scientists at the University of Exeter, found that the mother plant senses temperature and forms a long term temperature memory. They used Arabidopsis thaliana (a small flowering plant) as a model plant.If the mother experiences warmer temperatures, it produces more of a protein called Flowering Locus T (FT). FT limits the production of tannins in the fruit, making seed coats thinner and more permeable. (If something is permeable, it allows water to pass through it.) This means they germinate more quickly. If the mother plant experiences cooler temperatures, it produces less FT protein and more tannins. Seed coats will be thicker and less permeable and will germinate later. In this way, the mother plant can tell their children the best time of year to start their life.This work shows the importance of growing conditions throughout the life cycle of the plant, said Professor Graham. In terms of crop plants, it proves unfavorable environmental conditions can have negative effects on seed quality.Climate change is making unfavorable conditions more frequent, but Dr Steven Penfield, who led the research, expresses confidence.By understanding how the mother plant uses temperature information toinfluence her seeds, we can begin to develop methods to breed (培育) crop seeds more able to stand up to climate change, he said.Dr Penfield notes that the finding has attracted interest from other scientists. Kent Bradford, an agricultural researcher at the University of California, is eager to see if the lettuce (a round vegetable with thin green leaves) have a similar process for controlling germination.32. The mother plant passes on her memory of the seasons with __________.A. flowersB. FT proteinC. tanninsD. seed coats33. When a seed germinates earlier, we can infer that ___________.A. its coat is thickerB. its coat is smallerC. its mother produced less FT proteinD. its mother experienced warm weather34. Crop seeds may have better quality if the mother plants ____________.A. have a longer life cycleB. have better growing conditionsC. grow as slow as possibleD. grow in the natural environment35. Penfield may agree that their finding can help ___________.A. provide better living conditions for seedsB. reduce climate change’s influence on cropsC. solve the serious problem of climate changeD. improve the communication between plants第二节(共5小题；每小题2分．满分l0分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。
