Life is like a roller coaster, and every point has ups and downs. People plan something, but luck and sometimes misfortunes lead them toward a different destination. However, passionate individuals are not scared of such uncertainties. They set goals, welcome challenges, overcome obstacles, and eventually achieve what satisfies them.

But her dreams and passion did not let her stop. She became a death doula to continue her dream. She chose this field after her grandfather’s death, when she couldn’t bear the pain of losing him.

Android phones will be used to sense earthquakes around the world and may one day be able to provide global warnings, with the first mass alert system coming into use on August 11 in California, Google announced.
Google, which helped develop Android, worked with California and the US Geological Survey to build the quake alerts into all phones that run the common mobile operating system. Android users who have enabled location services and are near a quake of magnitude 4.5 or greater will receive a full-screen earthquake warning telling them to drop to the floor and seek cover. The screen also will provide estimates of the quake’s magnitude and distance from the user. Depending on their distance from a quake, people could get several seconds or perhaps a minute of warning.
Users won’t need to a download California’s MyShake app in order to receive the alerts. That application, developed by the University of California, Berkeley and launched last year, has been downloaded by only about I million of California’s 40 million residents. By contrast, many millions of people own Android phones.
“This announcement means that California’s world-class earthquake early warning system will be a standard function on every Android phone-giving millions precious seconds to drop, cover and hold on when the big one hits.” Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement. IPhone users won’t receive the alerts through Apple’s operating system, but they can download the MyShake app.
Also, Google announced that Android phones would begin detecting earthquakes from around the world through their motion-sensing accelerometers. “Your Android phone can be a mini-seismometer (地震仪), joining millions of other Android phones out there to form the world’s largest earthquake detection network,” according to a Google blog post. More than 2 billion devices run the Android operating system.
Hundreds of millions of people live in earthquake-prone areas. But many countries lack the resources to build detection and alert systems Google said. The information will be used at first to provide fast and accurate information on Google Search. But Google said it could begin sending out earthquake alerts next year.
23. If an earthquake hits the US, who won’t receive the earthquake warning
A. IPhone users who have downloaded the MyShake app.
B. Android users who have downloaded the MyShake app.
C. IPhone users who haven’t downloaded the MyShake app.
D. Android users who haven’t downloaded the MyShake app.
24. What does the underlined word “estimates” in paragraph 2 mean
A Predictions. B. Descriptions. C. Destinations. D. Explanations.
25. What will globalize Google’s earthquake detection network
A. The newly developed MyShake app.
B. Useful motion-sensing accelerometers.
C. New technology developed by Google.
D. The large number of Android phone users.
26. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To share a newly-developed MyShake app.
B. To introduce a new function of Android phones.
C. To discuss the pros and cons of a new technology.
D. To compare the performance between two types of phones.
【答案】23. C 24. A 25. D 26. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了谷歌宣布，Android手机将用于感知世界各地的地震，并有一天能够提供全球警报，首个大规模警报系统将于8月11日在加州投入使用。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Users won’t need to a download California’s MyShake app in order to receive the alerts. That application, developed by the University of California, Berkeley and launched last year, has been downloaded by only about 1 million of California’s 40 million residents. By contrast, many millions of people own Android phones.(用户不需要下载加州的MyShake应用程序就能收到警报。这款由加州大学伯克利分校开发并于去年推出的应用程序，在加州4000万居民中只有大约100万人下载了它。相比之下，有数百万人拥有安卓手机。)”以及文章第四段“IPhone users won’t receive the alerts through Apple’s operating system, but they can download the MyShake app.(IPhone用户不会通过苹果的操作系统收到警报，但他们可以下载MyShake应用程序。)”可知，Android手机用户可以直接收到警报，而没有下载MyShake应用程序的IPhone用户则收不到地震警报。故选C。
【24题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单调下一句“Depending on their distance from a quake, people could get several seconds or perhaps a minute of warning.(根据他们离地震的距离，人们可能会得到几秒钟或一分钟的预警。)”可推测，划线单词指的是“估计、预测”地震震级和距离用户的距离。选项A“Predictions (预测)”；选项B“Descriptions (描述)”；选项C“Destinations (目的地)”；选项D“Explanations (解释)”。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Users won’t need to a download California’s MyShake app in order to receive the alerts.

A few years ago, Charles Barkley got into a lot of trouble for making the observation that sports figures didn't need to be role models. Thousands of fans and professional journalists were cross at this attack on the fundamental principle that the person who jumps highest must aim highest and the person who handles the running back must also be able to deal with life's problems with grace as well.
The problem is not that we look to these people for perfection when they take off their uniforms. It's that we expect anyone to be our representatives for perfection. That's stupid and it makes the rest of us down here lazy.
I get the importance of having heroes, the people who inspire us to cultivate the best potential within us and nurture our better angels. I personally have many heroes, from my mother, Lucy, to my favorite law professor, Howard. But these are personal contacts, people who have-actually touched my hand and my heart, and who occupy a pedestal（基座）built of my own experiences and aspirations. To look at an athlete or an actress with high salary and demand that he or she match our dreams is not only a waste of time, but it's dangerous. The danger comes in how this type of hero worship dehumanizes both the object of affection and the person who blindly adores. That was Barkley's point, not that we should give public figures a pass for being faulty but that we shouldn't abandon our own moral compasses and look to them for true north.
Recently on a television program I participated in, the discussion turned to Kathleen Kane. Someone suggested that the fact that the first female attorney general（首席检察官）in Pennsylvania was really messing things up could have unfortunate consequences for women seeking elected office. I offered the opinion that Kane was unquestionably criticized and that it was not hatred towards woman but incompetence at the root of the attacks. After the show aired, I had people emailing to tell me that I was either a traitor（叛徒）for publicly attacking a fellow female when we need to stand together behind this "role model", or a fool for not going a step further to say that this incompetent lawyer had made it harder for all women to move to the next level.
How depressing! Why should the inferior performance of one woman lead to such diverse but passionate views in people The answer is obvious: Kane has stopped being an attorney general but has instead become The First Female Attorney General. She can't just make a mistake and pay the normal consequences.
If we stopped trying to live our lives through the accomplishments of public figures, many of whom look and sound like us, we'd learn how to recognize the heroic character of those we might actually know, and the heroic potential within ourselves. Or, perhaps, the honesty to accept our ordinary humanity.
27. Many people were angry with Charles Barkley mainly because________.
A. he broke fundamental principles in life B. he was not good enough to be a role model
C. he doubted the perfection of some sports figures D. he thought sports figures could have weaknesses
28. According to Barkley, why is it dangerous to take public figures as heroes
A. Because we may let go of our own moral standards.
B. Because an athlete or actress cannot match our dreams.
C. Because we blindly admire public figures for their faults.
D. Because we shouldn't waste time imitating public figures.
29. From the passage we can infer that Kathleen Kane was________.
A. unfairly criticized due to being female B. the first female attorney general in the US
C. less qualified than the public had expected D. a role model for women seeking elected office
30. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage
A. Be Our Representatives for Perfection B. Exploration of Our Own Heroic Potential
C. Our Unrealistic Expectation of Public Figures D. Our Conventional Views of Female Politician
【答案】27. A 28. A 29. C 30. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章作者主要讨论了公众人物的影响，并让我们对公众人物不要有不切实际的期望。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A few years ago, Charles Barkley got into a lot of trouble for making the observation that sports figures didn't need to be role models. Thousands of fans and professional journalists were cross at this attack on the fundamental principle that the person who jumps highest must aim highest. and the person who handles the running back must also be able to deal with life's problems with grace as well. (几年前，查尔斯·巴克利因为提出体育人物不需要成为榜样的观点而惹上了很多麻烦。成千上万的球迷和专业记者对这一基本原则的攻击感到愤怒，即跳得最高的人必须瞄准最高的目标，处理跑锋的人也必须能够优雅地处理生活中的问题)”可知，许多人对查尔斯·巴克利感到愤怒，主要是因为他他的言论违背了生活中的基本原则。故选A。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The danger comes in how this type of hero worship dehumanizes both the object of affection and the person who blindly adores. That was Barkley's point, not that we should give public figures a pass for being faulty but that we shouldn't abandon our own moral compasses and look to them for true north. (这种英雄崇拜的危险在于，它使被崇拜的对象和盲目崇拜的人都失去了人性。这就是巴克利的观点，并不是说我们应该给公众人物错误的通行证，而是说我们不应该放弃自己的道德指南针，并从它们那里寻找真正的北方。)”可知，巴克利认为把公众人物当作英雄是危险的，因为我们可能会放弃自己的道德标准。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Someone suggested that the fact that the first female attorney general（首席检察官）in Pennsylvania was really messing things up could have unfortunate consequences for women seeking elected office. (有人认为，宾夕法尼亚州第一位女性司法部长真的把事情搞砸了，这可能会给寻求当选公职的女性带来不幸的后果。)”和第五段“Why should the inferior performance of one woman lead to such diverse but passionate views in people The answer is obvious: Kane has stopped being an attorney general but has instead become The First Female Attorney General. She can't just make a mistake and pay the normal consequences.(为什么一个女人的低劣表现会导致人们对她的看法如此多样却又充满激情呢 答案很明显：凯恩不再是一名司法部长，而是成为了第一位女性司法部长。她不能就这么犯个错，然后承担正常的后果。)”可推断，凯思琳·凯恩作为第一位女性司法部长没有公众预期的那么合格。故选C。

主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“If we stopped trying to live our lives through the accomplishments of public figures, many of whom look and sound like us, we'd learn how to recognize the heroic character of those we might actually know, and the heroic potential within ourselves. Or, perhaps, the honesty to accept our ordinary humanity. (如果我们不再试图通过公众人物的成就来生活，他们中的许多人看起来和听起来都像我们，我们就会学会如何识别那些我们可能认识的人的英雄性格，以及我们自己的英雄潜力。或者，也许，诚实地接受我们平凡的人性。)”及全文可知，文章作者主要讨论了公众人物的影响，并让我们对公众人物不要有不切实际的期望。所以“Our Unrealistic Expectation of Public Figures(我们对公众人物不切实际的期望)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选C。

阅读补全。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项。
Have you ever had a staring contest It can be difficult to keep your eyes open for long periods of time because of the natural tendency to blink (眨眼). But why do we need to blink
There are two main reasons. First, blinking clears away dust from the eyes. ___31___ It might be under the eyelid or something that blew in. Second, blinking lubricates (润滑) the eye-balls. The eyes need a smooth surface for light to properly focus on, so vision becomes clear. Blinking releases a tear film which mostly consists of water, oil and mucus (粘液) to keep the surface of the eyeball smooth. ___32___ The tear film also supplies oxygen to the eye. Blood doesn’t reach the cornea (角膜), but the tear film directly transfers oxygen to it.
Blinking happens naturally. It takes the average person 400 milliseconds to blink. Most people blink somewhere between 10 and 20 times per minute, usually around 15 or 16 times. ___33___
For example, you may blink more frequently if there’s something in your eye. Certain conditions can make it feel like there’s something in your eye, which makes you blink more. Some people have habitual involuntary movements that lead them to blink frequently. ___34___ If you have uncorrected vision problems, you may blink more often because your eyes are naturally trying to correct the unclear vision.
If there is damage to the facial nerve, which is responsible for closing the eyelid, a person may blink more slowly or less often. Tiredness and some medications can cause a similar effect. ___35___ For example, when reading, people tend to blink at the end of a sentence rather than in the middle.
A. It prevents the eye from drying out.
B. If there’s a foreign body, it helps get rid of it.
C. And stress and anxiety can make you blink more, too.
D. Blinking more often than needed can give brain extra stress.
E. Pink eye and other types of infection can also cause damage on eyes.
F. However, there are some circumstances that make people blink more or less often.
G. Focusing on something like watching a movie, you may blink less to strengthen your focus.
【答案】31. B 32. A 33. F 34. C 35. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人们为什么眨眼以及什么情况下眨眼多和少。
【31题详解】
根据下文“It might be under the eyelid or something that blew in.(它可能在眼睑下方或吹进来的东西)”可知，这里It指代眼睛里的异物，与B项“If there’s a foreign body, it helps get rid of it. (如果有异物，它有助于摆脱它。)”中a foreign body对应，上下文一致，符合句意。故选B项。
【32题详解】
根据上文“Second, blinking lubricates(润滑) the eye-balls. The eyes need a smooth surface for light to properly focus on, so vision becomes clear. Blinking releases a tear film which mostly consists of water, oil and mucus(粘液) to keep the surface of the eyeball smooth.(眼睛需要一个光滑的表面，以便光线正确聚焦，使视力变得清晰。眨眼会释放泪膜——主要由水，油和粘液组成——以保持眼球表面光滑。)”可知，本段主要讲述的是眨眼睛的好处，与A项“It also prevents the eye from drying out. (它还可以防止眼睛干燥。)”上下文一致，其中It指代上文blinking。故选A项。
【33题详解】
根据上文“Blinking happens naturally. It takes the average person 400 milliseconds to blink. Most people blink somewhere between 10 and 20 times per minute, usually around 15 or 16 times.(眨眼是自然发生的。普通人眨眼需要400毫秒。大多数人每分钟眨眼10到20次，通常大约15或16次。)”可知，这里主要讲眨眼的频率，与F项“However, there are some circumstances that make people blink more or less often. (但是，在某些情况下会使人们或多或少地眨眼。)”上下文一致，其中 blink more or less often与上文usually around 15 or 16 times对应，都讲眨眼的频率。故选F项。
【34题详解】
根据上文“Some people have habitual involuntary movements that lead them to blink frequently. (有些人有习惯性的不自主运动，导致他们经常眨眼。)”可知，这里主要讲述眨眼睛频繁的情况，与C项“And stress and anxiety can make you blink more, too. (压力和焦虑也会让你眨眼更多)”上下文一致，其中 blink more与上文blink frequently对应。故选C项。
【35题详解】
根据下文“For example, when reading, people tend to blink at the end of a sentence rather than in the middle. (例如，在阅读时，人们倾向于在句子末尾而不是中间眨眼。)”可知，空处应为讲述眨眼睛少的情况，与G项“Focusing on something like watching a movie, you may blink less to strengthen your focus. (专注于看电影之类的事情，您可能会减少眨眼以加强注意力。)”上下文一致，其中watching a movie和上文reading对应，讲了分别两种眨眼少的情况。故选G项。

Life is like a roller coaster, and every point has ups and downs. People plan something, but luck and sometimes misfortunes lead them toward a different destination. However, passionate individuals are not scared of such uncertainties. They set goals, welcome challenges, overcome obstacles, and eventually achieve what satisfies them.
Those who stay committed to their broad goals and find satisfaction even in unplanned circumstances are truly victorious. One true example of such people comes from a woman passionate about spreading happiness and helping others. Nicole Thornes is a mother, a former police officer, and now serving society as a death doula (陪护师).
Nicole joined the police academy intending to be helpful to society. She believed that a police officer has the opportunity to eliminate crime, bring justice, and create a better society for everyone. Although she became a mother during her studies and her responsibilities were increased due to children, she didn’t give up on her passion. Nicole could have called off her studies, but her passion for serving society didn’t let her step down. With great efforts, she finally became a police officer and gave her contributions to law enforcement and the betterment of society. She was not only a police officer making full commitment to the society but also a mother who played her responsibilities in the best way possible.
Everything went according to her plans, but uncertainty called off her journey as a police officer. Nicole suffered from an injury in a mission that ended her career in the police force. But her dreams and passion did not let her stop. She became a death doula to continue her dream. She chose this field after her grandfather’s death, when she couldn’t bear the pain of losing him. Being a death doula, she is now providing comfort to the dying and their families during difficult times. She aims to spread prosperity in people’s lives and help them overcome all the obstacles she faced throughout her life.

Android phones will be used to sense earthquakes around the world and may one day be able to provide global warnings, with the first mass alert system coming into use on August 11 in California, Google announced.
Google, which helped develop Android, worked with California and the US Geological Survey to build the quake alerts into all phones that run the common mobile operating system. Android users who have enabled location services and are near a quake of magnitude 4.5 or greater will receive a full-screen earthquake warning telling them to drop to the floor and seek cover. The screen also will provide estimates of the quake’s magnitude and distance from the user. Depending on their distance from a quake, people could get several seconds or perhaps a minute of warning.
Users won’t need to a download California’s MyShake app in order to receive the alerts. That application, developed by the University of California, Berkeley and launched last year, has been downloaded by only about I million of California’s 40 million residents. By contrast, many millions of people own Android phones.
“This announcement means that California’s world-class earthquake early warning system will be a standard function on every Android phone-giving millions precious seconds to drop, cover and hold on when the big one hits.” Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement. IPhone users won’t receive the alerts through Apple’s operating system, but they can download the MyShake app.
Also, Google announced that Android phones would begin detecting earthquakes from around the world through their motion-sensing accelerometers. “Your Android phone can be a mini-seismometer (地震仪), joining millions of other Android phones out there to form the world’s largest earthquake detection network,” according to a Google blog post. More than 2 billion devices run the Android operating system.
Hundreds of millions of people live in earthquake-prone areas. But many countries lack the resources to build detection and alert systems, Google said. The information will be used at first to provide fast and accurate information on Google Search. But Google said it could begin sending out earthquake alerts next year.
23. If an earthquake hits the US, who won’t receive the earthquake warning
A. IPhone users who have downloaded the MyShake app.
B. Android users who have downloaded the MyShake app.
C. IPhone users who haven’t downloaded the MyShake app.
D. Android users who haven’t downloaded the MyShake app.
24. What does the underlined word “estimates” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Predictions. B. Descriptions. C. Destinations. D. Explanations.
25. What will globalize Google’s earthquake detection network
A. The newly developed MyShake app.
B. Useful motion-sensing accelerometers.
C. New technology developed by Google.
D. The large number of Android phone users.
26. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To share a newly-developed MyShake app.
B. To introduce a new function of Android phones.
C. To discuss the pros and cons of a new technology.
D. To compare the performance between two types of phones.
D
A few years ago, Charles Barkley got into a lot of trouble for making the observation that sports figures didn't need to be role models. Thousands of fans and professional journalists were cross at this attack on the fundamental principle that the person who jumps highest must aim highest and the person who handles the running back must also be able to deal with life's problems with grace as well.
The problem is not that we look to these people for perfection when they take off their uniforms. It's that we expect anyone to be our representatives for perfection. That's stupid and it makes the rest of us down here lazy.
I get the importance of having heroes, the people who inspire us to cultivate the best potential within us and nurture our better angels. I personally have many heroes, from my mother, Lucy, to my favorite law professor, Howard. But these are personal contacts, people who have-actually touched my hand and my heart, and who occupy a pedestal（基座）built of my own experiences and aspirations. To look at an athlete or an actress with high salary and demand that he or she match our dreams is not only a waste of time, but it's dangerous. The danger comes in how this type of hero worship dehumanizes both the object of affection and the person who blindly adores. That was Barkley's point, not that we should give public figures a pass for being faulty but that we shouldn't abandon our own moral compasses and look to them for true north.
Recently on a television program I participated in, the discussion turned to Kathleen Kane. Someone suggested that the fact that the first female attorney general（首席检察官）in Pennsylvania was really messing things up could have unfortunate consequences for women seeking elected office. I offered the opinion that Kane was unquestionably criticized and that it was not hatred towards woman but incompetence at the root of the attacks. After the show aired, I had people emailing to tell me that I was either a traitor（叛徒）for publicly attacking a fellow female when we need to stand together behind this "role model", or a fool for not going a step further to say that this incompetent lawyer had made it harder for all women to move to the next level.
How depressing! Why should the inferior performance of one woman lead to such diverse but passionate views in people The answer is obvious: Kane has stopped being an attorney general but has instead become The First Female Attorney General. She can't just make a mistake and pay the normal consequences.
If we stopped trying to live our lives through the accomplishments of public figures, many of whom look and sound like us, we'd learn how to recognize the heroic character of those we might actually know, and the heroic potential within ourselves. Or, perhaps, the honesty to accept our ordinary humanity.
27. Many people were angry with Charles Barkley mainly because________.
A. he broke fundamental principles in life B. he was not good enough to be a role model
C. he doubted the perfection of some sports figures D. he thought sports figures could have weaknesses
28. According to Barkley, why is it dangerous to take public figures as heroes
A. Because we may let go of our own moral standards.
B Because an athlete or actress cannot match our dreams.
C. Because we blindly admire public figures for their faults.
D. Because we shouldn't waste time imitating public figures.
29. From the passage we can infer that Kathleen Kane was________.
A. unfairly criticized due to being female B. the first female attorney general in the US
C. less qualified than the public had expected D. a role model for women seeking elected office
30. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage
A. Be Our Representatives for Perfection B. Exploration of Our Own Heroic Potential
C. Our Unrealistic Expectation of Public Figures D. Our Conventional Views of Female Politician

Have you ever had a staring contest It can be difficult to keep your eyes open for long periods of time because of the natural tendency to blink (眨眼). But why do we need to blink
There are two main reasons. First, blinking clears away dust from the eyes. ___31___ It might be under the eyelid or something that blew in. Second, blinking lubricates (润滑) the eye-balls. The eyes need a smooth surface for light to properly focus on, so vision becomes clear. Blinking releases a tear film which mostly consists of water, oil and mucus (粘液) to keep the surface of the eyeball smooth. ___32___ The tear film also supplies oxygen to the eye. Blood doesn’t reach the cornea (角膜), but the tear film directly transfers oxygen to it.
Blinking happens naturally. It takes the average person 400 milliseconds to blink. Most people blink somewhere between 10 and 20 times per minute, usually around 15 or 16 times. ___33___
For example, you may blink more frequently if there’s something in your eye. Certain conditions can make it feel like there’s something in your eye, which makes you blink more. Some people have habitual involuntary movements that lead them to blink frequently. ___34___ If you have uncorrected vision problems, you may blink more often because your eyes are naturally trying to correct the unclear vision.
If there is damage to the facial nerve, which is responsible for closing the eyelid, a person may blink more slowly or less often. Tiredness and some medications can cause a similar effect. ___35___ For example, when reading, people tend to blink at the end of a sentence rather than in the middle.
A. It prevents the eye from drying out.
B. If there’s a foreign body, it helps get rid of it.
C. And stress and anxiety can make you blink more too.
D. Blinking more often than needed can give brain extra stress.
E. Pink eye and other types of infection can also cause damage on eyes.
F. However, there are some circumstances that make people blink more or less often.
G. Focusing on something like watching a movie, you may blink less to strengthen your focus.
