B
Sometimes the story ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )behind an invention is even more interesting than the invention itself. Next time you make a phone call or send a text message, think of Alexander Graham Bell.
Bell invented the firs ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t telephone but he didn’t really mean to. He was much more interested in helping deaf people and trying to design something that would help them hear. As a boy, Bell did not seem like a future inventor; he devoted himself to nature, poetry and music. He even taught himself to play the piano with which he entertained his family.
When Bell was 12, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he noticed his mother was becoming deaf. It was the concern for his mother’s deafness that led Bell to study sound and how it is made and communicated. Bell’s father, a famous writer, encouraged Bell’s interest in this field. Once Bell was taken by his father to see a demonstration of a very primitive kind of speaking robot invented by Sir Charles Wheatstone. Bell and one of his brothers made their own version of the robot and managed to make it talk—this happened while Bell was still a teenager.
The next few years ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )saw great changes in Bell’s life. The family moved from his birthplace in Edinburgh, Scotland, to Canada. Bell eventually continued his work with deaf people in Boston, Massachusetts where Bell decided to focus on experiments with sound machines. Bell hired Thomas Watson as his assistant, and in 1875 they invented the world’s first telephone. The quality of the sound was awful by today’s standards but Bell had designed something that would change the way we communicate forever.
Bell went on to make ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) many more inventions in various fields including an air conditioner and a very early type of plane. However, it is as the inventor of the telephone that Alexander Graham Bell will forever be remembered.
34. When Bell was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a child, which of the following was he least interested in
A. Nature. B. Poetry. C. Music. D. Science.
35. Bell invented the first telephone in order to .
A. remember his mother B. make a speech
C. help the deaf D. become famous
36. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text
A. It was the con ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cern for his mother’s illness that made him study sound.
B. Bell’s father p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )layed an important part in developing his interest in sound.
C. Bell and o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ne of his brothers invented the world’s first telephone in 1875.
D. Bell was also involved in inventing an air conditioner.
37. From the last paragraph we can infer that .
A. the air conditioner and the plane were ignored at that time
B. the telephone was the most important one among his inventions
C. Bell’s inventions in other fields were of no use at all
D. the telep ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hone was invented after all the other inventions had been made
C
Owning a smartphone m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ay not be as smart as you think. A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, smartphones add as much as two hours to your working day.
Researchers found that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Britons (英国人) worked an additional 460 hours a year on average as they were able to respond to emails on their smartphones.
The study revealed tha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t the average UK working day was between 9 and 10 hours, but a further 2 hours were spent by workers to respond to or send work emails, or make work calls. More than 90 percent of the office workers surveyed had an email-enabled phone, with a third accessing (访问) their email accounts more than 20 times a day. Almost one in ten of them admitted that they spent up to three hours outside their normal working day to check work emails, and even those without a smartphone often checked emails on their home computers. Some workers confessed (承认) that they are on call (随叫随到) almost 24 hours a day. Nearly two-thirds of them said they often checked work emails just before they went to bed and as soon as they woke up.
Ghadi Hobeika, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the marketing director of Pixmania, said, “The ability to keep in contact via social networks, take photos and videos as well as send emails has made smartphones invaluable for many people. However, there are drawbacks too. Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smartphones mean that people literally cannot get away from their work. The more constantly in contact workers become, the more they are expected in a work capacity.”
38. The third paragraph is mainly carried out .
A. in time order B. in space order
C. by comparison D. by listing figures
39. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text 【出处：21教育名师】
A. Workers with ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )out a smartphone needn’t check their work emails after work.
B. Smartphones may a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dd as much as two hours to a worker’s working day.
C. Workers literal ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ly cannot get away from work due to their smartphones.
D. Some workers check work emails as soon as they wake up.
40. The underline ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d word “invaluable” has the same meaning as “ ”.
A. extremely valuable B. very swift
C. more boring D. less expensive
41. We can infer that the text is .
A. an introduction of smartphones B. an ad for smartphones
C. a research report D. a book review
D
Like other natio ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ns, South Korea has its own food culture. Not only have the geographical features affected its food culture, but the four distinct seasons have also influenced what South Koreans eat.
South Koreans feel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )strongly that balanced meals are good for health. Most of them think breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Because of their agricultural background and Confucian tradition, South Koreans place great importance on proper table settings and table manners and they have special foods in different seasons.
A typical South K ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orean meal is called “pekpan”, consisting of rice, soup and many side dishes (配菜). One of the side dishes is “kimch’i”, whose development is due to the four distinct seasons when fresh vegetables are not always available. The sweet sticky rice (糯米) is included in every meal. Soup is also served a lot. Other dishes include seafood, meat and vegetables.
Different regions ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in South Korea have different foods. Having been the capital for over 600 years, the dishes of Seoul stand for South Korean food. One of the best known is pulgogi. Pulgogi is a piece of beef put in garlic, onions, sugar and black pepper. You can cook this yourself, using a gas fired grill (烤架). To eat it, you take a leaf, and onto the leaf you put a small amount of meat, rice and vegetables, etc. This is then folded up into your mouth.
The Cholla-do area ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is also famous for a number of dishes. One specialty (特色菜) is pibimbap. Pibimbap is made by adding fried vegetables to rice. Each area of South Korea has its own local products in its pibimbap, making each one unique. Tolsot pibimbap is served hot in a stone pot that keeps the rice and vegetables warm when you are eating. 21*cnjy*com
42. South Ko ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rean food culture is influenced by many factors EXCEPT .
A. the surrounding nations B. the geographical features
C. Confucian tradition D. the four distinct seasons
43. The dish “kimch’i” is served because .
A. it can make South Korean meals more plentiful
B. South Koreans prefer to have balanced meals in their life
C. the dish’s delicious taste appeals to South Koreans
D. it’s hard for South Koreans to get fresh vegetables all the time
44. Which of the following descriptions is NOT true about pulgogi
A. It is a kind of roasted beef.
B. You can cook this dish by yourself.
C. Garlic, onions and sugar are often put into it.
D. It is served hot in a stone pot.
45. From the last paragraph we can infer that ..
A. there are different kinds of pibimbap in South Korea2·1·c·n·j·y
B. pibimbap in all parts of South Korea is exactly the same
C. Cholla-do is famous for its dishes in the world
D. pibimbap is often made of meat, vegetables and rice

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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Here are some effective ways to improve your reading ability.21·cn·jy·com
46 If you are interested in what you are reading, the words will come alive and you will be encouraged to read on. The more you read, the better you will become at reading. Just get started, and it will become a habit as long as you are interested in what you are reading.
Read materia ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l that you find easy to read or just a little difficult. 47 It is better to stay within your comfort zone and keep reading. Soon you will be able to take on more difficult content.
48 If you are familiar with the subject you are reading about, you will understand better. Stay with one author for at least one book. If the subject matter is new to you, you should even try to read a few different books about the same subject before you move on. In this way you will be able to get deeper into the subject and your reading confidence will grow.
If you have trou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ble reading, listen first. Many great works of literature were written to be read out loud. 49 This will help make difficult content seem more familiar. If you hear the new words and phrases that you are reading, you will have an easier time understanding and remembering them.
Don’t worry about ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) what you don’t understand. 50 You can enjoy reading without understanding all of what you read. You may even understand some things in your own personal way. So, learn to enjoy reading even if you don’t fully understand what you’ve read.
A. Read things that interest you.
B. What is mo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )st likely to influence your success at school or at a job
C. Stay on the same subject for a while.
D. Most of your reading should be for pleasure.
E. Most people don’t know what they are reading at all.
F. Listen to th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e audio (声音的) books or audio files of the material that you are reading.
G. Looking up many unknown words in a dictionary is not fun.

Regular tip boxes give information about common mistakes and the accompanying CD-ROM contains additional exam-style exercises and tests for more grammar practice. A FREE comprehensive Teacher’s Guide, providing plenty of practical ideas on how to use the material in class and tips for teaching mixed ability and mixed age classes, is available online. 【版权所有：21教育】

Sometimes the story ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )behind an invention is even more interesting than the invention itself. Next time you make a phone call or send a text message, think of Alexander Graham Bell.
Bell invented the firs ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t telephone but he didn’t really mean to. He was much more interested in helping deaf people and trying to design something that would help them hear. As a boy, Bell did not seem like a future inventor; he devoted himself to nature, poetry and music. He even taught himself to play the piano with which he entertained his family.
When Bell was 12, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he noticed his mother was becoming deaf. It was the concern for his mother’s deafness that led Bell to study sound and how it is made and communicated. Bell’s father, a famous writer, encouraged Bell’s interest in this field. Once Bell was taken by his father to see a demonstration of a very primitive kind of speaking robot invented by Sir Charles Wheatstone. Bell and one of his brothers made their own version of the robot and managed to make it talk—this happened while Bell was still a teenager.
The next few years ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )saw great changes in Bell’s life. The family moved from his birthplace in Edinburgh, Scotland, to Canada. Bell eventually continued his work with deaf people in Boston, Massachusetts where Bell decided to focus on experiments with sound machines. Bell hired Thomas Watson as his assistant, and in 1875 they invented the world’s first telephone. The quality of the sound was awful by today’s standards but Bell had designed something that would change the way we communicate forever.
Bell went on to make ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) many more inventions in various fields including an air conditioner and a very early type of plane. However, it is as the inventor of the telephone that Alexander Graham Bell will forever be remembered.
34. When Bell was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a child, which of the following was he least interested in
A. Nature. B. Poetry. C. Music. D. Science.
35. Bell invented the first telephone in order to .
A. remember his mother B. make a speech
C. help the deaf D. become famous
36. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text
A. It was the con ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cern for his mother’s illness that made him study sound.
B. Bell’s father p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )layed an important part in developing his interest in sound.
C. Bell and o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ne of his brothers invented the world’s first telephone in 1875.
D. Bell was also involved in inventing an air conditioner.
37. From the last paragraph we can infer that .
A. the air conditioner and the plane were ignored at that time
B. the telephone was the most important one among his inventions
C. Bell’s inventions in other fields were of no use at all
D. the telep ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hone was invented after all the other inventions had been made

Owning a smartphone m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ay not be as smart as you think. A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, smartphones add as much as two hours to your working day.
Researchers found that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Britons (英国人) worked an additional 460 hours a year on average as they were able to respond to emails on their smartphones.
The study revealed tha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t the average UK working day was between 9 and 10 hours, but a further 2 hours were spent by workers to respond to or send work emails, or make work calls. More than 90 percent of the office workers surveyed had an email-enabled phone, with a third accessing (访问) their email accounts more than 20 times a day. Almost one in ten of them admitted that they spent up to three hours outside their normal working day to check work emails, and even those without a smartphone often checked emails on their home computers. Some workers confessed (承认) that they are on call (随叫随到) almost 24 hours a day. Nearly two-thirds of them said they often checked work emails just before they went to bed and as soon as they woke up.
Ghadi Hobeika, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the marketing director of Pixmania, said, “The ability to keep in contact via social networks, take photos and videos as well as send emails has made smartphones invaluable for many people. However, there are drawbacks too. Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smartphones mean that people literally cannot get away from their work. The more constantly in contact workers become, the more they are expected in a work capacity.”
38. The third paragraph is mainly carried out .

C. by comparison D. by listing figures

C. Workers literal ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ly cannot get away from work due to their smartphones.
D. Some workers check work emails as soon as they wake up.
40. The underline ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d word “invaluable” has the same meaning as “ ”.
A. extremely valuable B. very swift
C. more boring D. less expensive
41. We can infer that the text is .
A. an introduction of smartphones B. an ad for smartphones
C. a research report D. a book review

Like other natio ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ns, South Korea has its own food culture. Not only have the geographical features affected its food culture, but the four distinct seasons have also influenced what South Koreans eat.
South Koreans feel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )strongly that balanced meals are good for health. Most of them think breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Because of their agricultural background and Confucian tradition, South Koreans place great importance on proper table settings and table manners and they have special foods in different seasons.
A typical South K ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orean meal is called “pekpan”, consisting of rice, soup and many side dishes (配菜). One of the side dishes is “kimch’i”, whose development is due to the four distinct seasons when fresh vegetables are not always available. The sweet sticky rice (糯米) is included in every meal. Soup is also served a lot. Other dishes include seafood, meat and vegetables.
Different regions ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in South Korea have different foods. Having been the capital for over 600 years, the dishes of Seoul stand for South Korean food. One of the best known is pulgogi. Pulgogi is a piece of beef put in garlic, onions, sugar and black pepper. You can cook this yourself, using a gas fired grill (烤架). To eat it, you take a leaf, and onto the leaf you put a small amount of meat, rice and vegetables, etc. This is then folded up into your mouth.
The Cholla-do area ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is also famous for a number of dishes. One specialty (特色菜) is pibimbap. Pibimbap is made by adding fried vegetables to rice. Each area of South Korea has its own local products in its pibimbap, making each one unique. Tolsot pibimbap is served hot in a stone pot that keeps the rice and vegetables warm when you are eating. 21*cnjy*com

Here are some effective ways to improve your reading ability.21·cn·jy·com
46 If you are interested in what you are reading, the words will come alive and you will be encouraged to read on. The more you read, the better you will become at reading. Just get started, and it will become a habit as long as you are interested in what you are reading.
Read materia ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l that you find easy to read or just a little difficult. 47 It is better to stay within your comfort zone and keep reading. Soon you will be able to take on more difficult content.
48 If you are familiar with the subject you are reading about, you will understand better. Stay with one author for at least one book. If the subject matter is new to you, you should even try to read a few different books about the same subject before you move on. In this way you will be able to get deeper into the subject and your reading confidence will grow.
If you have trou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ble reading, listen first. Many great works of literature were written to be read out loud. 49 This will help make difficult content seem more familiar. If you hear the new words and phrases that you are reading, you will have an easier time understanding and remembering them.
Don’t worry about ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) what you don’t understand. 50 You can enjoy reading without understanding all of what you read. You may even understand some things in your own personal way. So, learn to enjoy reading even if you don’t fully understand what you’ve read.

Dear Sir,
I’m writing to request ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a chance to be one of the host family for the British students. I believed that I have every reason to get the chance. Firstly, the living conditions of my home are good though we live in a big house for beautiful surroundings.

If we get the chance to hosting the British students, I will act as a guide and show you around the city. As outgoing boy, I’m sure I can make friends with them soon. I would greatly appreciate about it if I’m given the chance. 2-1-c-n-j-y
