请阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A,B,C,D中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项的标号涂黑。
A
Sam Berns wasn’t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )like any other boy. He was 17 and he had an aging disease known as progeria. 21世纪教育网版权所有
“Even though I h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ave many difficulties in my life, I don’t want people to feel bad for me,” Sam said during a TED talk.21教育网
Progeria affects ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )approximately one in every 4 million to 8 million newborns. Right now, there are only about 200 children living with it worldwide. The genetic(基因的) change tied to it causes those with the disease to produce the protein progerin, which blocks normal cell function.
His view on l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ife is extremely inspiring. He had to face challenges no one else could even dream of. As children with progeria age rapidly, they suffer from a loss of body fat and hair and an inability to gain weight. That didn’t keep Sam down, though. 21cnjy.com
“All in all, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) I don’t waste energy feeling bad for myself,” Sam said. “I surround myself with people that I want to be with. And I keep moving forward.” 【出处：21教育名师】
This boy from Bosto ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n was so amazing, famous people and athletes wanted to take him under their own. Last Saturday night could have been an amazing moment for Sam. One of his favorite teams, the New England Patriots, wanted to make him their honorary captain during a playoff game.
Instead, it ju ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )st was’t meant to be. Sam passed away before he had a chance to stand next to his team, so they held a moment of silence before the game for him.
Sam’s unb ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )elievable view on life, and his deep effect on others, is hard to forget. He was presented with so many challenges in life but he wasn’t afraid to face them. Be more like Sam, this wonderful teen. Surround yourself with positive people, love them and move forward.
56. We can infer from the passage that Sam Berns was ________.
A. very fat B. very thin C. good-looking D. young-looking
57. According to the passage, Sam Berns was a boy ________.
A. of great intelligence B. of complete failure
C. with an optimistic view on life D. with a passive view on life
58. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Cell. B. Change. C. Progerin. D. Progeria.
59. What is the main purpose of this passage
A. To praise Sam Berns for his hardwork.
B. To show how famous Sam Berns was.
C. To encourage readers to live a positive life.
D. To show how Sam Berns dealt with challenges.
B
If a sitcom ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )(情景喜剧)that lasts for l0 years is considered popular，then surely one that still arouses emotions after 20 must be considered a classic．Friends first aired in the US in 1994，featuring a cast of six young men and women in New York．In the time since，it’s become one of the most famous titles in the sitcom style，aired in over 100 countries and regions in the world．
The show is ty ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pical among those who grew up in the 1990s because it explores basic yet important themes like friendship，struggling to survive in a big city，and finding independence and identity，all of which are still relevant to young audiences today．
Against the bac ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )kground of the Internet age，IT staff who were once marginalized(排斥)and laughed at have experienced a revival due to the popularity of hit show The Big Bang Theory，in which four talents lacking normal social skills make an attempt at living on a college campus．
At the same time ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )，Gossip Girl，describing a young cast of New Yorkers born with silver spoons in their mouths，demonstrates the difficulties upper-class adolescents experience．The show’s fashion and mature subject matter allowed it to capture the interest of both teenagers and adults．
Although these ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )typical TV shows span a wide timeline and feature a variety of themes，they all have a universal topic．Love，money，friendship，career aspirations and identity are things all young people struggle to understand．Why are they still fascinating It remains to be found out．
60．Why is the sitcom Friends typical among young people in the 1990s
A．Because it is a breakthrough in the producing style．
B．Because it is the most influential sitcom of all time．
C．Because it addresses the subjects faced by the youth．
D．Because it predicts the future of the young at that time．
61．What can we learn about The Big Bang Theory
A．It arouses people’s enthusiasm for computers．
B．There are four talents who are good at everything．
C．It is set in the time before the Internet came into being．
D．It improves the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )conditions of the people in technological industry．

Researchers are placing robotic dogs in the homes of lonely old people to determine whether they can improve the quality of life for humans. Alan Beck, an expert in human-animal relationship, and Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the animal-assisted study concerning the influence of robotic dogs on old people's depression, physical activity, and life satisfaction. “No one will argue that an older person is better off being more active, challenged, or stimulated (刺激),” Edwards points out. “The problem is how we promote that, especially for those without friends or help. A robotic dog could be a solution.”21教育名师原创作品
In the study, t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he robot, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone. Before placing AIBO in the home, researchers will collect baseline data for six weeks. These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activities before and after AIBO. Then, the researchers will review the data to determine if it has inspired any changes in the life of its owner.
“I talk to him al ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l the time, and he responds to my voice,” says a seventy-year-old lady. “When I'm watching TV, he'll stay in my arms until he wants down. He has a mind of his own.”
The AIBOs resp ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ond to certain orders. The researchers say they have some advantages over live dogs, especially for old people. Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. A robotic dog removes exercise and feeding concerns.
“At the beginning, it ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )was believed that no one would relate to the robotic dog because it was metal and not furry,” Beck says. “But it's amazing how quickly we have given up that belief.”
“Hopefully, down the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )road, these robotic pets could become a more valuable health helper. They will record their masters’ blood pressure, oxygen levels, or heart rhythms. AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate older people's minds.”【版权所有：21教育】
64．The purpose of Beck and Edwards’ study is to ____.
A. understand human-an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )imal relationship B. find the causes of old people’s loneliness
C. make lonely ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )old people’s life better D. promote the animal-assisted research
65．In the research, the old people are asked to ____.
A. note the activities ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of AIBOs B. keep AIBOs at home for 12 weeks
C. analyze th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e collected information D. record their feelings and activities
66．What is the advantage of AIBO over live dogs
A. It can wat ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ch TV with its owner. B. It can help the disabled people.
C. It responds to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )all the human orders. D. It is easier to keep at home.
67．The author seems to suggest that the future robotic dogs may ____.
A. keep old people active B. cure certain diseaseswww-2-1-cnjy-com
C. change people's beliefs D. look more like real dogs

Elephants are able t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o differentiate between ethnicities(种族) and sexes, and can tell an adult from a child --- all from the sound of a human voice. 21*cnjy*com
This is according ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to a study in which researchers played voice recordings to wild African elephants.
The animals showe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d more fear when they heard the voices of adult Masai men.
Livestock-herd ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing Masai people do come into conflict with elephants, and this suggests that animals have adapted to specifically listen for and avoid them.
The study is pub ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lished in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Prof Karen McComb ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and Dr Graeme Shannon from the University of Sussex led the study. They explained that in previous research they had used similar playback experiments to show that elephants could tell --- from the sound of a lion’s roar --- whether the animal was a female or a more dangerous male.
Prof McComb wanted ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to find out if the animals used their very sharp sense of hearing to identify a potential danger from humans.
The scientists re ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )corded Masai men, women and children saying, in their own language, “Look, look over there, a group of elephants is coming”.
They also recorded Kamba men saying this phrase.
While cattle-herdi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng Masai people often come across free-ranging elephants, which can result in violent conflict, the Kamba people’s more agricultural lifestyle does not generally bring them into aggressive touch with the animals.
When the team pla ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )yed recordings of these different voices through a hidden loudspeaker, they found that elephant family groups reacted more fearfully in response to the voice of a Masai man, than to a Kamba man’s voice.
And the adul ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t male Masai voices encouraged far more of these defensive reactions than the voices of women or boys.
68. An elephant can tell a man from a woman by sense of ________.
A. touch B. sight C. smell D. hearing
69. How did t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he researchers get to know the elephants’ special ability of identification
A. By observing the elephants in the zoo.
B. By playing voice recordings to them.
C. By recording the behaviours of elephants.
D. By communicating with them in a special way.
70. We can learn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) from the passage that elephants are especially afraid of ________.
A. Masai men B. Masai women C. Kamba men D. Kamba women
71. What is the best title for the passage
A. Elephants and human beings B. Differences between human voices
C. Elephants reco ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gnise human voices D. Elephants conflict with human beings

Mozilla has sh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )own off a prototype(雏形) for a $25 ( 15) smart phone that is aimed at the developing world.
The company, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )which is famed mostly for its Firefox browser(浏览器), has partnered with the Chinese low-cost chip maker Spreadtrum.
While not as po ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )werful as more expensive models, the phone will run apps and make use of mobile internet.
It would app ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eal to the sorts of people who currently buy cheap “feature” phones, analysts said.
Feature ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )phones are highly popular in the developing world as a halfway point between “dumb” phones --- just voice calls and other basic functions --- and fully-developed smart phones.
Mozilla hopes th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at it will take an early lead in a market that is now being targeted by mobile phone producers who see the developing world as the remaining area for massive growth.
It will face ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) fierce competition from bigger, more popular brands, however --- with more announcements of this kind expected over the course of the next couple of days at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.2·1·c·n·j·y
“These solut ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ions expand the global accessibility of open web smart phones to first-time and entry-level smart phone buyers by reducing the time and cost required for handset makers to bring these phones to market,” said Spreadtrum in a press statement.
Mozilla ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )said the phone “redefines”(重新定义) the entry-level phone market.
The concept ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of a cheap smart phone may seem likely to appeal to consumers in developed countries, particularly those who locked into long contracts in order to pay part of the cost of the likes of the Apple iPhone and Samsung Galaxy range.
But analyst ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Carolina Milanesi, from Kantar World panel, said it should not be seen as a competitor.
72. Which of the following is true about the $25 smart phone
A. It has all the functions of an iPhone.
B. It is specially designed for the developed world.
C. It will attract the present “feature” phone users.
D. It is made by the Chinese low-cost chip maker Spreadtrum.
73. What is the feature of a “feature” phone
A. Though cheap, it can completely replace the iPhone.21·cn·jy·com
B. It is just used for voice calls and other basic functions.
C. It has nearly all the functions of a fully-developed smart phone.
D. Its functions ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )are between those of a “dumb” phone and a fully-developed smart phone.
74. We can learn fro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )m the text that at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona ________.
A. new cheap smart phones will beat high-end ones
B. the $25 smart phone coming from Mozilla will be the best seller
C. quite a few companies will announce their new cheap smart phones
D. Mozilla will ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )be the only company to announce its new cheap smart phone
75. Which of the fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )llowing held a negative attitude towards the cheap smart phone
A. Mozilla. B. Spreadtrum. C. Samsung. D. Carolina Milanesi.
