B
We’re often told that we shouldn’t live in fear or let worry affect us, and there are definitely advantages of this advice. But there is such a thing as a healthy dose of worry, recent research suggests, especially when we are faced with real dangers. In a study of over 300,000 adults in the United Kingdom, people who considered themselves worriers were better health-wise than those who worried less. Over a multi-year period, they had a lower risk of dying of a range of diseases.
The researchers proposed a potential explanation for these differences Worriers may be more likely to notice physical problems and quickly seek medical attention for them, increasing the chance of noticing and treating diseases in early stages. In addition, they may show more health-related behavior like exercise and healthy eating in an effort to stave off negative heat results.
Other negative emotions, like anger and tension, don’t have the same benefits as worry in the study, probably because they don’t increase heath watchfulness in the same way. Worry may be an unpleasant emotion, but it can make us act in ways that protect ourselves and others.
Other research has also found health benefits connected with worry. For example, one study found that smokers who worried more about the negative health effects of smoking were more likely to give it up within eight months. Another study found that people who not only understood the risk of skin cancer but worried about it were more likely to wear sunscreen as a preventative measure.
Despite these benefits, worrying about health sometimes can be bad. For example, we might fear the behavior that is in fact safe. And frequent, unconstructive worry, health-related or not, can disturb sleep quality and increase the risk of stress related illness. Too much worry is also a sign of generalized anxiety disorder.
Constructive worry is likely to be more solution-focused than unconstructive worry. The feeling of worry reminds us of a potential danger, which makes us think through how to address that danger. For example, if you read an article about the risks of spending a lot of time sitting down and become concerned about how much time you spend sitting during the day, you might consider different ways to increase your activity level or talk with your doctor.
Sometimes we worry about things that are largely out of our control and don’t necessarily have practical solutions, like an upcoming medial test or the unpredictability (不可预知性) of a loved one’s physical condition. These are normal worries and are not unconstructive—they may still make us take action that benefits us, even if we can’t solve the problem or control the result.
Telling ourselves simply not to worry is unlikely to make those feelings go away. But we can choose to respond with understanding and comfort, rather than going down the rabbit hole of worst-case situation.
4. Why could worry be beneficial to our health
A. It could help us set more practical goals.
B. It could draw our attention to our health.
C. It could inform us of possible solutions.
D. it could make us recover from diseases.
5. What does the underlined part “stave off” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Analyze. B. Remind.
C. Change D. Avoid.
6. How does the author prove the benefits of worry
A. By presenting scientific research.
B. By comparing negative emotions.
C. By explaining the reason for worry.
D. By introducing heath related habits.
7. What does the author tin of worrying about things out of control
A. It is harmful to our health. B. It can still be of some help.
C. It can take plenty of time D. It will make ting worse.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。担忧害怕对于人们来说通常是不好的情绪,而文章通过一些研究结果告诉我们担忧有时也是有好处的。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“The researchers proposed a potential explanation for these differences Worriers may be more likely to notice physical problems and quickly seek medical attention for them, increasing the chance of noticing and treating diseases in early stages. (研究人员对这些差异提出一个可能的解释:担忧者们可能更容易注意到身体问题并尽快寻求医疗处理,增加早期发现和治愈疾病的可能性)”可知,文中指出的担忧对人有好处指的就是,容易担忧的人也更容易关注到身体健康。故选B项。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句“In addition, they may show more health-related behavior like exercise and healthy eating in an effort to stave off negative heat results.(此外,他们可能表现出更多健康相关的行为,比如锻炼和健康饮食,从而避免负面的结果)”可知,由短语in an effort to引导的是前面锻炼、健康饮食这些动作的目的,划线词的宾语是negative results,应该指“避免、防止(不好的结果)”。故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“In a study of over 300,000 adults in the United Kingdom, people who considered themselves worriers were better health-wise than those who worried less.(在英国一项对超过300000成人的研究中发现,认为自己是担忧者的人比起担忧较少的人更具健康智慧)”和第四段第一句“Other research has also found health benefits connected with worry.(另一研究也发现了与担忧相关的健康益处)”可知,文中对担忧的好处的说明主要是通过展示科研结果来实现的。故选A项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“These are normal worries and are not unconstructive—they may still make us take action that benefits us, even if we can’t solve the problem or control the result.(这些都是正常的担忧,并非无建设性的,它们可能仍会促使我们采取对自己有利的行动,即使我们最终无法解决问题或控制结果)”可知,作者认为这种对于无法掌控结果的事情的担忧还是会有一些好处。故选B项。
C
It’s a running joke on social media: googling a headache and you’ll conclude that you have brain cancer.
It might be the mistake of the Internet—and how it often does a bad job of explaining the risk of different health problems—that a headache has you thinking about your will.
The Internet is full of bad health information. In particular, many websites fail to point out the risk. Sure, a list of the possible reasons behind someone’s symptoms might appear. But how likely someone is to have the most serious potential condition might not come across—leaving people to make mental leaps about what conditions might apply to them.
In 2009, two Microsoft researchers dove into the search results for a range of symptoms which were not serious. Among the top 10 search results for “headache” there was a 26 percent chance of the “brain tumor (脑瘤)” appearing on the page. However, only about 1 in 10,000 people are diagnosed(诊断)with a brain tumor every year in the U.S.
Besides, these results seldom include explanations of the personal information collected when doing the risk analysis. One study found that women using evidence-based tools to analyze the breast cancer risk didn't trust the results, because they felt the analysis didn’t take their full family history into consideration.
Even if the online heath information does a great job of explaining risk, symptoms can make people fall into a common psychological trick. Called the Barnum Effect, the phenomenon kicks in when people see a description and think it applies to them exactly, even though the characters are general enough to apply to everyone.
Some researchers think that googling symptoms can, in the beginning, be about comfort: People want to deal with worries about what they’re feeling, and remove the possibility that, they’re seriously ill.
If that’s the purpose, it’s not always the final result. Depending on what people find, their worries might grow—potentially pushing the Internet users to keep searching as away to self-comfort, and increasing their stress. You look for symptoms and you will find them. This will increase your worry, and you’ll keep looking.
8. Why does the author mention the 2009 research
A. To show the Internet information is not believable.
B. To prove headaches are very common in daily life.
C. To analyze why people turn to the Internet for help.
D. To explain the brain tumor is actually a rare disease.
9. What may people do according to the Barnum Effect
A. They may turn a blind eye to the explained risks.
B. They may share health information without consideration.
C. They may describe their symptoms in detail on the Internet.
D. They maybe easily affected by the online health information.
10. What may people end up doing while searching the Internet for symptoms
A. Making their condition worsen.
B. Being dependent on the Internet.
C. Becoming more and more worried.
D. Requiring more and more comfort.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. Why the Internet always says your headache is cancer
B. What you should do if you really have a headache
C. The Internet can make you get a terrible headache
D. Your headache is actually not a big deal
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如果用谷歌搜索头痛,你就会得出结论,你得了脑癌。并且就为什么会这样做出了解释。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第二、三句话“ Among the top 10 search results for “headache” there was a 26 percent chance of the “brain tumor (脑瘤)” appearing on the page. However, only about 1 in 10,000 people are diagnosed(诊断)with a brain tumor every year in the U.S.”( 在“头痛”的前十大搜索结果中,有26%的几率“脑瘤”出现在网页上。然而,在美国,每年只有约1万人被诊断出患有脑瘤。)可知,网上搜索出来的信息并不准确。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三行第二句话“Called the Barnum Effect, the phenomenon kicks in when people see a description and think it applies to them exactly, even though the characters are general enough to apply to everyone.”(这种现象被称为巴纳姆效应,当人们看到一个描述并认为它完全适用于他们时,这种现象就会发生,即使这些角色足够普遍,可以适用于所有人。)可知,当人们认为从网上看到适用于自己的症状时,他们就会觉得自己真的得了这种病。所以他们很容易受到网上信息的影响。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句话“Depending on what people find, their worries might grow—potentially pushing the Internet users to keep searching as away to self-comfort, and increasing their stress. ”(根据人们发现情况,他们的担忧可能会增加,这可能会促使互联网用户继续搜索,以寻求自我安慰,并增加他们的压力。)可知,当他们在网上搜索他们的症状时,他们的担忧会加剧。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。本文主要讲述文章主要讲述了如果用谷歌搜索头痛,你就会得出结论,你得了脑癌。并且就会什么会这样做出了解释。所以“为什么网络总是说你的头痛是得了脑癌”符合本文的标题。故选A。
【点睛】阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力,要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系,对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断或根据作者所阐述的观点理论,对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释,考生首先要仔细阅读短文,完整了解信息,准确把握作者观点。
D
We have entered a new age of embedded, intuitive computing in which our homes, cars, stores, farms, and factories have the ability to think, sense, understand, and respond to our needs. It's not science fiction, but the dawn of a new age.
Most people might not realize it yet, but we are already feeling the impact of what’s known as the third wave of computing. In small but significant ways it is helping us live healthier and more secure lives. If you drive a 2014 Mercedes Benz, for example, an “intelligent” system tries to keep you from hitting a pedestrian. A farmer in Nigeria relies on weather sensors that communicate with his mobile device. Forgot your medicine A new pill bottle from AdhereTech reminds you through text or automatic phone messages that it's time to take a pill.
Technology is being integrated into our natural behaviors, with real-time data connecting our physical and digital worlds. With this dramatic shift in our relationship to technology, companies can adapt their products and services.
To understand how revolutionary the third wave is, we ought to consider how far we have come. The first wave began when companies started to manage their operations through mainframe computer systems over 50 years ago. Then computing got “personal” in the 1980s and the 1990s with the Introduction of the PC(personal computer). For the most part, computing remained immobile and lacked contextual awareness.
In computing’s second wave, mobile computing and the smartphone took center stage. Billions of people, some of whom might not have had access to clean water, electricity, or even housing, were connected. Developers created applications and provided consumers with access to just about everything through their phone at the cost of a monthly data plan.
As the third wave keeps developing designers must meet the demands of consumers who want to experiment with new technology.
Historically, designers have focused their attention on a product’s form and function. While that sill matters of course, the definition of a meaningful user experience has expanded significant and will continue to do so. Instead of creating a single product, designers will need to imagine a series of connected products and services that have awareness of each other and their surroundings.
12. Why are three examples given in Paragraph 2
A. To tell us that human beings are smarter and smarter.
B. To illustrate the importance and necessity of technology.
C. To prove that we are living healthier and more secure lives.
D. To show the impact of the third wave of computing on our life.
13. In the first wave of computing ________.
A. Companies’ operations were reliable on computer systems,
B. Computing had awareness of people’s needs in the context.
C. People could have access to computing almost everywhere.
D. It was possible for people to experience computing at home.
14. Which of the following is a situation in the third wave of computing
A. There’s no need to create a single product.
B. The definition of the user experience is more significant
C. Products and services are not independent of each other.
D. The products’ form and functions are no longer important.
15. What can we conclude from the passage about the new age we are facing
A. There’s a shift of attention from people’s physical worlds to their digital worlds.
B. There’s closer relationship between technology and people’s natural behaviours.
C. People live more happily with the convenience brought by advanced technology.
D. People become lazier with the products that can think and respond to their needs.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了我们已经进入了一个嵌入式、直观计算的新时代,大多数人可能还没有意识到这一点,但我们已经感受到所谓的第三次计算机浪潮的影响。它正在以微小但重要的方式帮助我们过上更健康、更安全的生活。文章还介绍了计算机的三次浪潮,以及各自的特点。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Most people might not realize it yet, but we are already feeling the impact of what’s known as the third wave of computing. In small but significant ways it is helping us live healthier and more secure lives. If you drive a 2014 Mercedes Benz, for example, an “intelligent” system tries to keep you from hitting a pedestrian. A farmer in Nigeria relies on weather sensors that communicate with his mobile device. Forgot your medicine A new pill bottle from AdhereTech reminds you through text or automatic phone messages that it's time to take a pill.(大多数人可能还没有意识到这一点,但我们已经感受到所谓的第三次计算机浪潮的影响。它正在以微小但重要的方式帮助我们过上更健康、更安全的生活。例如,如果你驾驶一辆2014年款奔驰,一个“智能”系统会试图阻止你撞上行人。尼日利亚的一位农民依靠天气传感器与他的移动设备进行通信。忘了吃药吗?AdhereTech公司的一款新药瓶通过短信或自动电话短信提醒你,是时候吃药了)”可推知,第二段中给出了三个例子来表明第三次计算机浪潮对我们生活的影响。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The first wave began when companies started to manage their operations through mainframe computer systems over 50 years ago. Then computing got “personal” in the 1980s and the 1990s with the Introduction of the PC(personal computer).(50多年前,当公司开始通过大型计算机系统管理他们的业务时,第一次浪潮就开始了。然后,在20世纪80年代和90年代,随着个人电脑的推出,计算变得“个人”)”可知,计算的第一波浪潮的时候,计算机是固定不动的,所以人们可以在家里体验计算。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“While that sill matters of course, the definition of a meaningful user experience has expanded significant and will continue to do so. Instead of creating a single product, designers will need to imagine a series of connected products and services that have awareness of each other and their surroundings.(设计师将需要想象一系列相互关联的产品和服务,而不是创造一个单一的产品和服务,这些产品和服务彼此之间以及它们周围的环境都能相互感知)”可知,C选项“产品和服务不是相互独立的”是第三次计算机浪潮中的一种情况。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Technology is being integrated into our natural behaviors, with real-time data connecting our physical and digital worlds. With this dramatic shift in our relationship to technology, companies can adapt their products and services. (技术正在融入我们的自然行为,实时数据将我们的物理世界和数字世界连接起来。 随着我们与技术关系的重大转变,企业可以调整其产品和服务)”可推知,关于我们所面临的新时代,我们能从文章中得出的结论是:科技与人的自然行为有更紧密的联系。故选B。

第三节 读后续写(满分20分)
71. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事,
Jared had looked forward al year to the week-long bating trip with his dad and the other kids. At last, they were on a river in Missouri. And despite his leg braces—a metal support for weak or injured legs, he felt just like one of the other eleven-year-old boys. Shortly after lunch, the boys beached their boat. They planned to swim across the river to explore a cave on the other side.
Putting on his life jacket, Jared studied the deep, wide and fast-running river, but not too deep or fast for a boy with good legs. To reach the cave, the other boys were already swimming and safely reaching the other side of the river. Jared wanted to follow them, so he took off his leg braces.
And then he waved to his dad, who had let Jared's dog, Rio, to play in the water. Rio liked the water, and her shiny black coat looked cool in the sun. His dad waved back. Jared had gotten Rio earlier that year as a gift from Canine Companions for Independence to help him get around easier. She was trained to be a dog helping to guide the weak people. And since Jared had her, he was no longer afraid of being shoved around in the halls at school. Instead, Rio would push against his braces, helping him navigate through the stream of boys and girls. Jared was glad to have her even if Rio was just doing the job she was trained to do.
Now Rio’s smart eyes were on him. “She possibly can’t help me swim the river; she is trained to help on land, but not in the water Besides, this is something I want to do on my own,” Jared thought when looking at Rio Then Jared jumped into the river and sank down, using his arms to swim. At first it was just like a home, in his pool where he had taught himself to swim without the use of his legs.
Then the current was strong; it was trying to pull him down.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数要求150词左右;
2.所续写内容要以上面段落为依据,前后衔接符合逻辑。

【答案】Para 1:
When Jared got to the middle of the river, he anxiously found he was too tired. He couldn’t swim free of the current! His arms became weaker and weaker. All of a sudden, Jared only had time for one word “Rio” before the current pulled him under the water. Water filled his ears and rushed into his nose. He choked and tried to swim out of the current’s pulling. But it was no use. The river carried him away. Suddenly, Jared hit something live and strong. It was his dog.
Para 2:
Rio was pushing against him in the water, just as she did in the halls at school. She looked at him as if to say, “Why did you come out here without me ” Jared held onto Rio’s coat and, with all her power, Rio pulled him to shore. Safe on the beach, Rio stood beside Jared, breathing hard. Shaking, Jared reached up and hugged her neck. She answered with a wave of her tail. At that moment, Jared understood that his dog had not just saved his life because it was her job, and that she had saved his life because she loved him.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Jared在密苏里河上度假时,下水不幸遭遇急流,幸好他的狗Rio最后救了他。

We’re often told that we shouldn’t live in fear or let worry affect us, and there are definitely advantages of this advice. But there is such a thing as a healthy dose of worry, recent research suggests, especially when we are faced with real dangers. In a study of over 300,000 adults in the United Kingdom, people who considered themselves worriers were better health-wise than those who worried less. Over a multi-year period, they had a lower risk of dying of a range of diseases.
The researchers proposed a potential explanation for these differences Worriers may be more likely to notice physical problems and quickly seek medical attention for them, increasing the chance of noticing and treating diseases in early stages. In addition, they may show more health-related behavior like exercise and healthy eating in an effort to stave off negative heat results.
Other negative emotions, like anger and tension, don’t have the same benefits as worry in the study, probably because they don’t increase heath watchfulness in the same way. Worry may be an unpleasant emotion, but it can make us act in ways that protect ourselves and others.
Other research has also found health benefits connected with worry. For example, one study found that smokers who worried more about the negative health effects of smoking were more likely to give it up within eight months. Another study found that people who not only understood the risk of skin cancer but worried about it were more likely to wear sunscreen as a preventative measure.
Despite these benefits, worrying about health sometimes can be bad. For example, we might fear the behavior that is in fact safe. And frequent, unconstructive worry, health-related or not, can disturb sleep quality and increase the risk of stress related illness. Too much worry is also a sign of generalized anxiety disorder.
Constructive worry is likely to be more solution-focused than unconstructive worry. The feeling of worry reminds us of a potential danger, which makes us think through how to address that danger. For example, if you read an article about the risks of spending a lot of time sitting down and become concerned about how much time you spend sitting during the day, you might consider different ways to increase your activity level or talk with your doctor.
Sometimes we worry about things that are largely out of our control and don’t necessarily have practical solutions, like an upcoming medial test or the unpredictability (不可预知性) of a loved one’s physical condition. These are normal worries and are not unconstructive—they may still make us take action that benefits us, even if we can’t solve the problem or control the result.
Telling ourselves simply not to worry is unlikely to make those feelings go away. But we can choose to respond with understanding and comfort, rather than going down the rabbit hole of worst-case situation.
4. Why could worry be beneficial to our health
A. It could help us set more practical goals.
B. It could draw our attention to our health.
C. It could inform us of possible solutions.
D. it could make us recover from diseases.
5. What does the underlined part “stave off” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Analyze. B. Remind.
C. Change D. Avoid.
6. How does the author prove the benefits of worry
A. By presenting scientific research.
B. By comparing negative emotions.
C. By explaining the reason for worry.
D. By introducing heath related habits.
7. What does the author tin of worrying about things out of control
A. It is harmful to our health. B. It can still be of some help.
C. It can take plenty of time D. It will make ting worse.
C
It’s a running joke on social media: googling a headache and you’ll conclude that you have brain cancer.
It might be the mistake of the Internet—and how it often does a bad job of explaining the risk of different health problems—that a headache has you thinking about your will.
The Internet is full of bad health information. In particular, many websites fail to point out the risk. Sure, a list of the possible reasons behind someone’s symptoms might appear. But how likely someone is to have the most serious potential condition might not come across—leaving people to make mental leaps about what conditions might apply to them.
In 2009, two Microsoft researchers dove into the search results for a range of symptoms which were not serious. Among the top 10 search results for “headache” there was a 26 percent chance of the “brain tumor (脑瘤)” appearing on the page. However, only about 1 in 10,000 people are diagnosed(诊断)with a brain tumor every year in the U.S.
Besides, these results seldom include explanations of the personal information collected when doing the risk analysis. One study found that women using evidence-based tools to analyze the breast cancer risk didn't trust the results, because they felt the analysis didn’t take their full family history into consideration.
Even if the online heath information does a great job of explaining risk, symptoms can make people fall into a common psychological trick. Called the Barnum Effect, the phenomenon kicks in when people see a description and think it applies to them exactly, even though the characters are general enough to apply to everyone.
Some researchers think that googling symptoms can, in the beginning, be about comfort: People want to deal with worries about what they’re feeling, and remove the possibility that, they’re seriously ill.
If that’s the purpose, it’s not always the final result. Depending on what people find, their worries might grow—potentially pushing the Internet users to keep searching as away to self-comfort, and increasing their stress. You look for symptoms and you will find them. This will increase your worry, and you’ll keep looking.
8. Why does the author mention the 2009 research
A. To show the Internet information is not believable.
B. To prove headaches are very common in daily life.
C. To analyze why people turn to the Internet for help.
D. To explain the brain tumor is actually a rare disease.
9. What may people do according to the Barnum Effect
A. They may turn a blind eye to the explained risks.
B. They may share health information without consideration.
C. They may describe their symptoms in detail on the Internet.
D. They maybe easily affected by the online health information.
10. What may people end up doing while searching the Internet for symptoms
A. Making their condition worsen.
B. Being dependent on the Internet.
C. Becoming more and more worried.
D. Requiring more and more comfort.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. Why the Internet always says your headache is cancer
B. What you should do if you really have a headache
C. The Internet can make you get a terrible headache
D. Your headache is actually not a big deal
D
We have entered a new age of embedded, intuitive computing in which our homes, cars, stores, farms, and factories have the ability to think, sense, understand, and respond to our needs. It's not science fiction, but the dawn of a new age.
Most people might not realize it yet, but we are already feeling the impact of what’s known as the third wave of computing. In small but significant ways it is helping us live healthier and more secure lives. If you drive a 2014 Mercedes Benz, for example, an “intelligent” system tries to keep you from hitting a pedestrian. A farmer in Nigeria relies on weather sensors that communicate with his mobile device. Forgot your medicine A new pill bottle from AdhereTech reminds you through text or automatic phone messages that it's time to take a pill.
Technology is being integrated into our natural behaviors, with real-time data connecting our physical and digital worlds. With this dramatic shift in our relationship to technology, companies can adapt their products and services.
To understand how revolutionary the third wave is, we ought to consider how far we have come. The first wave began when companies started to manage their operations through mainframe computer systems over 50 years ago. Then computing got “personal” in the 1980s and the 1990s with the Introduction of the PC(personal computer). For the most part, computing remained immobile and lacked contextual awareness.
In computing’s second wave, mobile computing and the smartphone took center stage. Billions of people, some of whom might not have had access to clean water, electricity, or even housing, were connected. Developers created applications and provided consumers with access to just about everything through their phone at the cost of a monthly data plan.
As the third wave keeps developing designers must meet the demands of consumers who want to experiment with new technology.
Historically, designers have focused their attention on a product’s form and function. While that sill matters of course, the definition of a meaningful user experience has expanded significant and will continue to do so. Instead of creating a single product, designers will need to imagine a series of connected products and services that have awareness of each other and their surroundings.
12. Why are three examples given in Paragraph 2
A. To tell us that human beings are smarter and smarter.
B. To illustrate the importance and necessity of technology.
C. To prove that we are living healthier and more secure lives.
D. To show the impact of the third wave of computing on our life.
13. In the first wave of computing ________.
A. Companies’ operations were reliable on computer systems,
B. Computing had awareness of people’s needs in the context.
C. People could have access to computing almost everywhere.
D. It was possible for people to experience computing at home.
14. Which of the following is a situation in the third wave of computing
A. There’s no need to create a single product.
B The definition of the user experience is more significant
C. Products and services are not independent of each other.
D. The products’ form and functions are no longer important.
15. What can we conclude from the passage about the new age we are facing
A. There’s a shift of attention from people’s physical worlds to their digital worlds.
B. There’s closer relationship between technology and people’s natural behaviours.
C. People live more happily with the convenience brought by advanced technology.
D. People become lazier with the products that can think and respond to their needs.

第三节 读后续写(满分20分)
71. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事,
Jared had looked forward al year to the week-long bating trip with his dad and the other kids. At last, they were on a river in Missouri. And despite his leg braces—a metal support for weak or injured legs, he felt just like one of the other eleven-year-old boys. Shortly after lunch, the boys beached their boat. They planned to swim across the river to explore a cave on the other side.
Putting on his life jacket, Jared studied the deep, wide and fast-running river, but not too deep or fast for a boy with good legs. To reach the cave, the other boys were already swimming and safely reaching the other side of the river. Jared wanted to follow them, so he took off his leg braces.
And then he waved to his dad, who had let Jared's dog, Rio, to play in the water. Rio liked the water, and her shiny black coat looked cool in the sun. His dad waved back. Jared had gotten Rio earlier that year as a gift from Canine Companions for Independence to help him get around easier. She was trained to be a dog helping to guide the weak people. And since Jared had her, he was no longer afraid of being shoved around in the halls at school. Instead, Rio would push against his braces, helping him navigate through the stream of boys and girls. Jared was glad to have her even if Rio was just doing the job she was trained to do.
Now Rio’s smart eyes were on him. “She possibly can’t help me swim the river; she is trained to help on land, but not in the water Besides, this is something I want to do on my own,” Jared thought when looking at Rio Then Jared jumped into the river and sank down, using his arms to swim. At first it was just like a home, in his pool where he had taught himself to swim without the use of his legs.
Then the current was strong; it was trying to pull him down.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数要求150词左右;
2.所续写内容要以上面段落为依据,前后衔接符合逻辑。
Para 1:
When Jared got to the middle of the river, he anxiously found he was too tired.

Rio was pushing against him in the water, just as she did in the halls al school.
