better for Aboriginal people.David Unaipon was born in South Australia,in 1872.As a young man,he loved to read and was interested in science and music.He thought a lot about new ways to fix engineering problems.Between the years 1909 and 1944,Unaipon made nine important inventions.He also made drawings for a helicopter(直升机) design.He got the idea from the Australian boomerang(回飞镖) and the way it moved through the air.This happened in 1914,before we had helicopters.Unaipon lived most of his life in Adelaide and worked for the Aborigines Friends Association.He worked and travelled around southeastern Australia for fifty years.Sometimes,while travelling from town to town,he was told he couldnt stay in a hotel because he was black,so he understood the problems of racism(种族主义).In 1925,Unaipon became the first Aboriginal writer to be published.His first published writing was an article in Sydneys Daily Telegraph newspaper.The article had the title:“Aboriginals:Their Traditions and Customs”.He wrote many other articles for newspapers and magazines,getting publicity about the rights of Aboriginal people.He also wrote about the need for white and black people to work together and the need for equal rights for both black and white Australians.He was well educated in both cultures,and in 1929 he helped with a government survey of Aboriginal health and interests.David Unaipon died in 1967 at the age of 95,in the same year that Aboriginal people were first counted as part of Australias population.In 1995,David Unaipons picture was put on the Australian fifty-dollar note,with a drawing of one of his inventions.24.Which of the following can describe David Unaipon when he was young?A.He was calm.B.He was brave.C.He was patient.D.He was

of nearly every teenagers life in this day and age.Many teens have QQ,WeChat,or Weibo but little do a lot of teens know that they can be held responsible for everything they post for the rest of their lives.Everything you post online is part of a digital footprint that can always be traced(追踪) back to you.That includes every post,even every like,comment,favorite and forward that you have ever committed.All pictures youve posted or will post have been stored in a digital database,and it is the companies right to keep all of these documents that you believe to have been deleted or hidden.With every post comes a consequence;whether it is good or bad,what you post could be seen by anyone.That is why you have to be very careful of what you decide to post or comment.If you think you are safe from Servite finding out about one funny comment you made six months ago on a meaningless picture,you are probably wrong.Recently,a senior,Aaron,at Servite learned this lesson the hard way this year.He wrote a series of ugly comments towards Connelly girls on a web page,ignoring potential consequences.This student,however,did have to face consequences from Servite as he was removed from all of his leadership roles in the school.Surprisingly enough,he fully agreed with his punishment handed down by the administration and fully understood why he was given such severe discipline (处罚).“When you agree to come to Servite,you are agreeing to defend what Servite stands for,” the young man said.“That continues from 8 am to 2 pm.Its at all times.”So,next time youre about to post something you think could be received as offensive or inappropriate,think twice,or dont press the “Send”.28.What does the author think the teens should do in the first paragraph?A.Avoid using social media.B.Remove their own digital documents.C.Be responsible for what they put online.D.Learn to balance their online and offline time.答案:C解析:细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Many teens have QQ,WeChat,or Weibo but little do a lot of teens know that they can be held responsible for everything they post for the rest of their lives”可知,很多青少年都有QQ、微信或微博,但很多人都不知道,他们应当对自己在网上发布的任何信息负责;据此可知,作者认为,青少年应当对他们发布在网上的信息负责,故C项正确。29.What mistake did Aaron make online?A.Drawing some meaningless pictures.B.Making some bad comments.C.Failing to take his lesson.D.Breaking down a special web page.答案:B解析:细节理解题。根据第三段尾句“He wrote a series of ugly comments towards Connelly girls on a web page,ignoring potential consequences.”可知,Aaron在一个网页上写了一系列针对康纳利女孩的难听的评论。故B项正确。30.What did Servite do with Aarons case?A.It reached an agreement with Connelly girls.B.It helped Aaron get rid of ill effects.C.It gave Aaron a severe punishment.D.It stood on Aarons side.答案:C解析:细节理解题。根据第四段第二句中的“he was given such severe discipline”可知,由于在网站上的不负责行为,他在学校受到了严重处罚,故 C项正确。31.For whom is the text probably intended?A.Teenagers.B.Teachers.C.Parents.D.Network engineers.答案:A解析:推理判断题。通读全文内容可知,本文第一段第一句“Social networks are a big part of nearly every teenagers life in this day and age.Many teens have QQ,WeChat,or Weibo but little do a lot of teens know that they can be held responsible for everything they post for the rest of their lives.”为文章主旨句;结合下文内容可知,本文主要论述了青少年应当对自己在网上发布的任何信息负责的问题,据此可以判断,本文的阅读对象是青少年,故A项正确。DIn the future your automobile will run on water instead of gas!You will be able to buy a supercomputer that fits in your pocket!You might even drive a flying car!Not all past predictions(预言) have been proven wrong.A few of them have been surprisingly accurate.Some great thinkers predicted the arrival of the credit card,the fax machine and even the Internet-years before they happened.But for each prediction that has come true,some others have missed by a mile.Many of these predictions didnt consider how people would want to use the technology or whether people really needed these high-tech(高科技的) things in their lives or not.Lets look at some predictions from the not-too-distant past.Robot helpersWheres the robot in my kitchen?Nowhere,of course.And hes probably not coming anytime soon.Robots do exist today,but mostly in factories and other working environments.Back in the 1950s,however,people said that by now personal robots would be in most peoples homes.So why hasnt it happened?Maybe because robots are still too expensive and clumsy.And probably the idea of robots cooking our dinners and washing our clothes is just too strange.At home we seem to be doing fine without them.Telephones of tomorrowIn 1964 an American company introduced the video telephone.They said by the year 2000 most people would have a video phone in their homes.But of course the idea hasnt caught on yet.Why?The technology worked fine,but it overlooked something obvious:people desire for privacy.Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just stepped out of the shower?Probably notit could be uncomfortable!Just because technology doesnt always mean people will want to use it.And finally,how about that crazy prediction of the flying car?Its not so crazy any more!But a flying car remains one of the most wonderful technology ideas to catch our imagination.Keep watching the news or perhaps the sky outside your window to see what the future will bring.32.Why havent robot helpers been used in most peoples homes?A.Because using this kind of robot at home is simply a waste of time and money.B.Because this kind of robot hasnt been developed yet.C.Because people find it difficult to control this kind of robot.D.Because this kind of robot wont bring people practical use.答案:D解析:细节理解题。由第五段可知,机器人保姆的预言没有实现是因为这种机器人不实用。33.What does the underlined phrase “caught on” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?A.Become popular.B.Become enjoyableC.Come into sight.D.Come to life.答案:A解析:词义猜测题。上文介绍,过去一家美国公司预言在公元2000年前大部分人在家将会使用可视电话,下一段解释了这个预言没能实现或者可视电话没有普及的原因。由此可知,catch on的意思为“变得流行,普及”。34.What does the author think of the flying car?A.It is too difficult to imagine.B.It is too crazy to realize.C.It is likely to appear in the future.D.It has been the focus of the news.答案:C解析:推理判断题。由最后一段可知,作者认为,“会飞的车”的想法不再疯狂,而且将来有一天会实现。35.What is the main idea of the text?A.Predictions that catch our imagination.B.Predictions that havent come true.C.New technology that can benefit our life.D.New technology that is in wide use.答案:B解析:主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了几个没有实现的预言。第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)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。One of my earliest memories was watching my mom talk on our old phone.I was fascinated that she could talk to someone who wasnt actually in the room with her.36 I wondering how she managed to talk with someone she couldnt see.37 Later,we had mobile phones that could be carried around the room.Then came computers and smart phones.These days I can send an e-mail around the world in a second.My d
