7．A.how B．why C．if D．when

答案 C [上一句中提到她的教龄很长，再结合本句后半句的内容可知每个人都“相信”她的话。A项表示“使满意”；B项表示“钦佩，羡慕”；D项表示“喜爱”，均不符合语意。]
15．A.Before B．After C．Until D．Since
答案 A [在此“之前”，作者一直不知道成年人也犯错。而C项构成“not...until...”结构，主句的谓语动词一般是短暂性动词，所以用在此处不合适。B、D两项均不符合语意。故选A项。]

20．A.energetic B．patient
C．talented D．diligent
答案 C [“鲸鱼”事件后，作者改变了以往的做法，开始看重聪明“才智”，而不是地位或者学位的高低。talented“有才能的”；energetic “精力充沛的”；patient“有耐心的”；diligent“刻苦的”。]
Ⅲ.阅读理解
It's 10：30 p．m., and 11-year-old Brandon Blanco is sound asleep at home.Suddenly, a loud noise wakes him up.Naturally, Brandon reaches for his cell phone.He blinks twice, and the message on the screen becomes clear：“R U awake？”
But the late-night text does not annoy Brandon.He gets frequent messages and calls, even after bedtime.And he can't imagine life without them.“If I didn't have a cell phone, I wouldn't be able to talk to my friends or family as often，” he told TFK.
Brandon's use of technology doesn't stop there.He also has a computer, a TV and three videogame consoles(控制台) in his room.With so many choices, it is no surprise that when he is not at school, he spends nearly every waking minute using one or more of these devices.Brandon is hardly alone.According to a recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, kids aged 8 to 18 are spending more time than ever before using electronic devices.How much time？More than seven and a half hours a day on average, the study found.That's about an hour more than just five years ago.
The jump is the result of a huge explosion in mobile devices, says Victoria Rideout, the lead author of the study.Today, nearly seven out of ten kids have cell phones.Just five years ago, it was four out of ten.
“These devices have opened up many more opportunities for young people to use media, whether it's on the bus, on the way to school or waiting in line at the pizza parlor, ” says Rideout.
Often, kids multitask, or use more than one device at a time.“If you've got a chance to do something on your computer and take a phone call and have the TV on in the background, why not？” Media expert Cheryl Olson says.
Most experts agree technology has much to offer kids.But some worry the kids could be missing out on other activities like playing outside or hanging out with friends.“It's a matter of balance，” says Olson.“You've got to work on it.”
Multitasking while doing homework is another concern.Some kids listen to music, watch TV or use the phone while doing their homework.“It's important to make sure that you can stop and concentrate on one thing deeply，” says Rideout.
With new and exciting devices hitting stores every year, keeping technology use in_check is more important than ever.“Kids should try，” adds Rideout.“But parents might have to step in sometimes.”
1．The text is mainly about kids'________.
A．cell phone use B．various hobbies
C．favorite video games D．using electronic devices
答案 D [文章通过Brandon Blanco的例子引入对“青少年使用电子设备”情况的研究，介绍了研究的结果、有关专家对青少年使用电子设备过多这一情况的分析。由此判断全文主旨是青少年使用电子设备。]
2．It can be learnt from the text that________.
A．Brandon feels annoyed about his late-night message
B．Olson is against teenagers'using mobile phones
C．many teenagers lack friends in their middle school
D．kids have too many electronic devices to choose from
答案 D [根据第三段Brandon's use of technology doesn't stop there.He also has a computer, a TV and three video-game consoles in his room.可知，现在青少年可选择使用的电子设备太多了。]
3．Which of the following is an example of multitasking?
A．Watching TV while using the computer.
B．Talking on the phone while lying on the sofa.
C．Playing video games after having lunch.
D．Listening to loud music while relaxing.
答案 A [根据第八段Some kids listen to music, watch TV or use the phone while doing their homework.可推出multitask的含义，再由其含义可推断选A。]
4．The underlined phrase “in check” in the last paragraph can be replaced by________.
A．in order B．in store
C．in sight D．in control
答案 D [根据But parents might have to step in sometimes.以及全文提到的对青少年使用电子设备的担心可判断作者认为应该对青少年使用电子设备的情况加以控制，故选D。]

4．Should another world war break out, what would________us human beings?
A．happen B．become
C．become of D．happen as
答案 C [句意：万一又一次世界大战爆发，我们人类将怎么办呢？become of常和疑问词what连用，表示“……(结果)怎么样”。此句用的是虚拟语气的倒装结构，从句连词省略了if，即：If another world war should break out, what would become of us human beings？]
5．Whether you come here today or tomorrow________to me.
A．makes no difference B．make a sense

答案 D [本句考查从句的用法。根据句子结构，that引导的从句为主语从句，作真正主语，因此前边应有形式主语，而形式主语只能用it，不能用this或that。]
Ⅱ.阅读理解
I suppose that having been brought up in the countryside and close to animals, it wasn't remarkable (不平常的) when I decided to become a vet (兽医)．Luckily I was also good at all the necessary science subjects.So after the College Entrance Examination I found myself at a veterinary college, training to look after animals in all kinds of situations.I hoped that I would be able to work in the research field so that I could find cures for animal diseases.
Much to my surprise, I found public health care was a very important aspect of my course.This is an area of animal medicine where a vet's work has many things in common with the work of a doctor of human diseases.I particularly liked it because I recognized that the study of animal diseases can help human medicine.As we know, many infectious diseases come from animals—including SARS and the bird flu.
Some of the infections have only been understood after carefully analytical work in labs by animal doctors.They helped identify the animal source for diseases such as SARS.They were also the first to identify various kinds of viruses.Sometimes vets are also able to suggest a cure for human illnesses.When I found this out I was determined to make public health medicine as my chosen career.
After graduation, I applied for a job in public health.Soon I found myself concerned with the problem of the bird flu.This is an illness that attacks birds, but humans can catch the disease if they are in close contact with infected birds.Though the job is dangerous, it makes me proud that vets and other animal disease researchers are in the front line helping to fight these unknown human diseases.

A．it was both important and interesting
B．it could help him connect many human diseases with animals
C．it made a vet's work very much like a doctor's
D．it could help human medicine by studying animal diseases
答案 D [从第二段“I particularly liked it because I recognized that the study of animal diseases can help human medicine.”可知D项正确。]
3．What can be followed if this passage continues?
A．The writer's happy family life.
B．How the writer did research work in studying bird flu.
C．How the writer dealt with the relationship with other workmates.
D．What difficulty the writer met in the research work.
答案 B [本文写作顺序为作者先写过去自己在农村长大，随后上大学当一名兽医，接着写这项工作的意义，接下来写自己是如何开展这方面的工作的，因此B项正确。而D项应包含在B项中，其它两个选项则偏离文章内容。]
4．Which of the following is implied in the passage?
A．Animals with infectious diseases should be killed.
B．Keeping animals is dangerous to humans.
C．Dangerous as a vet's job is, it is significant to the human race.
D．Animal researchers work in the same way as human doctors.
答案 C [文章最后一段的最后一句从字里行间暗示出作为一名兽医虽然危险，但是对整个人类来说意义重大。]

Phone producers show us every year some really superb concept phones and even if 99 per cent of those phones never see the production line, they give us a wonderful glimpse (一瞥) of what the phones will look like in a not so distant future.
We've made a list of what we think are the coolest concept phones presented in 2010.But do not ask where you can find them and at what price.
1．LG Flutter Concept Smart-phone
The LG Flutter has a similar face to the iPhone.
The only difference is that the LG Flutter makes use of radial interface(界面) which is certain to get some attention.The LG Flutter looks more like a fan or a killer's tool which we see in sci-fi movies.
Regardless, the design does seem fit for the future of mobile phones but looks a bit complex to use.

3．Window Phone
It is a product to throw on the faces of the shameless weather officials.
Whenever they predict sunny day be sure it would rain.So we have thought of gifting them this “Window Phone” that makes accurate predictions and even changes its display to reflect the climatic conditions outdoors.
4．Nokia Morph
The Nokia Morph is a concept mobile phone created by Finnish company Nokia.The concept was the product of a joint study into the future of mobile phones by the Nokia Research Center and the University of Cambridge's Nanoscience Centre.

5．Clover Phone
On looks it's just another ordinary phone type, but made in recycled material, which allows the device to be upgraded to meet latest advancements in technology.
Given the green aspects on the high-end tech the phone caters to, we guess it'll be a selling point.
