A
Bluetooth is a leader in wireless technology. It is built into cars, iphones, computers and more. It allows you to share information between two devices. But with a focus on function, Bluetooth devices are always changing thanks to some creative designers. Here are a few cool things you may see on the market soon.
Bluetooth Clothing
The Ripple
Ladies, are you tired of wireless headsets that make you look like a character from Star Trek (星际迷航)? Ilya Fridman was thinking of you when he designed the ripple, a Bluetooth headset that looks like an earring. When you open the device, you can see a microphone in it. When closed, the ripple stays on so you can listen to music.
Spray Bluetooth Speaker
(扬声器)
Clothing label Ecko UNLTD is making its new technology product with a Bluetooth speaker that looks like a can of spray paint (喷漆). The Spray Bluetooth speaker also contains a microphone, which you can pair with your smart phone for hands-free calling. The speakers have up to 10 hours of battery life. You can turn the top of it to choose songs or control volume.
Smart Watches
The EZIO has created a line of Bluetooth watches that connect to your smart phone. The EZIO Bluetooth 4.0 Smart Watch vibrates (震动) when you get a call, text or email. It also lets you know any time your phone is more than 5 to 10 feet away from you. Although this isn’t the first smart watch on the market, it’s sure to be a favourite. Why? It’s designed to look like a high-fashion watch, not a piece of technology.
These new technology products show that fashion is getting smarter, and technology is looking better!

I was probably one of the few kids in America whose parents didn’t want them to go to college. My family was very blue collar. My parents were never able to achieve more than getting a factory job, and trying to make ends meet. While growing up, I would always say I wanted to go to an Ivy League university and my dad would say there was absolutely nothing wrong with our state university. Dad suggested that’s what I ought to aim for. By the time senior year approached, I sent out only two applications for college, one to the state university a little more than two hours away from my hometown, and one to a university in another state. I was quickly accepted into both, but my dad seemed to be against the idea of my going away for university. He wanted me to attend the one in our county and save money by continuing to live at home.
For whatever reason, I had been
given more ambition than my parents before me, or my two younger
brothers, both of whom chose the factory scene rather than
education. So every day after school,
my dad and I had fights
about where I would go to university. His logic was very
sound, especially considering where I stand now,
three years after graduation with debt up to my eyeballs. He
threatened to give me no financial help at all, and I said that was
fine, and I would be able to get enough loans.
The fights about where I was going to get the money continued until the day I packed everything up into our car. It was then, at breakfast before we made our journey down, that my dad said he was proud of me. He hadn’t thought I would actually leave. As my parents dropped me off at my dorm room, my mom started crying, and even my dad kissed me on the forehead, which was the first time I could remember getting hugged and kissed by them in years.
At this point, my relationship
with my parents changed. They’ve done well to leave me to my own
life, and to just be happy when I call home. No ma
tter what happens now, I
know standing my ground on where to go for university has been the
best decision of my life, as I have gained both education and a
life experience.
4. Why was going to a faraway college less advisable to the father?
A. The poor family could not afford the education and boarding fees.
B. Going to college was not a popular idea in those days.
C. The hometown university was as good as the state university in teaching.
D. He was less ambitious than his son.
5. Which word can best replace
the
underlined word “sound” in
paragraph 2?
A.
wrong
6. The relationship between the author and his parents changed for the better when ___________.
A. he decided to go to an Ivy League university
B. he was accepted into both of the universities
C. he began the journey to his university
D. he first called home from his university
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Sticking to Your Dream
University
C. Improving Relationship between Parents and Son
D. Changing Father’s Attitude to College Education
C
24-year-old software engineer Patrick McConlogue, who had been seeing the 38-year-old homeless man for three years on his way to work every morning, asked Leo whether he would like $100 to spend on anything he wished or learn how to code (编码).
Leo picked the latter. True to his word, Patrick returned the following day with a few books on the subject, a cheap but durable laptop computer and charging accessories, and most importantly, daily lessons every morning before McConlogue was due at his office. Regardless, Leo took the opportunity to learn, Patrick followed through on his promise, and a friendship was born.
Leo turned out to be a fast learner. After a few months of strict learning how to code, the two men released Trees For Cars, a ride share app that Leo coded all by himself. The mobile app allows people to help the environment and save money by carpooling (拼车).
It works as follows: Anyone wanting a ride can enter in the address of his or her destination. The app will suggest drivers that drive to that or a nearby location. The person wishing to get a ride can pick one and send an invitation. If the other person accepts, they will be connected. As a way to encourage users, the app tracks how much CO2 is saved by the passengers who get rides with others.
Trees For Cars saw about 15,000 downloads across both Apple and Android stores, bringing in about $14,000. Various cuts to the stores/platforms themselves add up to about 30%, and the rest go to Leo.
While this is an amazing achievement, neither of them is satisfied with what they have done. Leo has already begun working on the second version of the app and also plans to apply for a job as a programmer.
As for Patrick, he is trying to expand the tutoring program and already has 150 programmers willing to teach people to code for an hour a day for two months. All he needs to do now is work out how to organize the effort.
8. What did Leo choose to do when given help?
A. To get $100 to spend.
B. To learn how to code.
C. To read a few books on the subject.
D. To buy a cheap but durable laptop computer.
9. The app Trees For Cars was designed in order to _________.
B. give directions about how to go to a location
10. How much money has Leo earned for Trees For Car?
A. About
$15,000
11. Which of the following words can best describe Patrick McConlogue?
A.
Thoughtful
“Selfie” (自拍) has been named the word of the year 2013 by Oxford Dictionaries.
The word has evolved from a social media word into a mainstream term for a self-portrait photograph. Research suggested its frequency in the English language increased by 17,000% in 2013.[来源:Z§xx§k.Com]
The word of the year award celebrates the inventiveness of English speakers when confronted with social, political or technological change. In 2004, the word of the year was “chav” (傻帽), in 2008 it was “credit crunch” (信贷危机) and in 2012 it was “omnishambles” (一团糟 ).
To qualify, a word need not have been invented within the past 12 months, but it does need to have become notable at that time.
Selfie is defined by Oxford
Dictionaries as “a photograph that one has
taken of oneself, typically with a smartphone or webcam and
uploaded to a social media website”. Its increase in use is
calculated by Oxford Dictionaries using a research programme that
collects around 150 million English words currently in use from
around the web each month. This software can be used to track the
emergence of new words and monitor changes in geography, register,
and frequency of use.
Selfie can be traced back to 2002 when it was used in an Australian online forum, according to Oxford Dictionaries. A man posted a picture of injuries to his face when he tripped over some steps. He apologized for the fact that it was out of focus, saying that it was not because he was drunk but because it was a selfie.
Selfie has been popular throughout the English-speaking world.
Judy Pearsall, editorial
director for Oxford Dictionaries, said: “Social media sites helped
to popularize the term. Selfie appeared on the photo-sharing
website Flickr as early as 2004, but its usage wasn’t widespread
until around 2012, when selfie was being used commonly in
mainstream media sources.”
Selfie was added to the Oxford
Dictionaries Online in Augus
t, 2013, but is not yet in
the Oxford English Dictionary.
12. The following words have been named the word of the year by Oxford Dictionaries EXCEPT __________.
A.
selfie
13. According to Oxford Dictionaries, the standard for the word of the year is ____________.
A. the influence of its
inventor
C. the class of its
users
14. The word “selfie” first appeared in Australian media in_______________.
A.
2002
15. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?
A. New terms may be the results of social, political or technological change.
B. Selfies are photos taken with a smartphone and uploaded to a media website.
C. Young people often help to popularize the new terms.
D. Selfie has been included in the Oxford English Dictionary.
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。
Small Changes Make a Big
Difference
As adolescents, having a
meaningful impact on the world can seem like an impossible task.
Changing the world does not only mean finding a cure for cancer, or
finding the origin of humanity, but recycling a piece of paper as
well.
According to a report, 63 million newspapers go out to
customers every day and of those 44 million are thrown away.
The age of technology constantly creates new phones, iPads, or new computers. Many people will stand in line for hours if not days to get their hands on the new piece of technology, but about 75% of the old devices sit in the back of a drawer collecting dust. By taking them to the local stores that collect them they go to people in need.
Go vegetarian (素食者) one day a week
Abandon bottled water
Most people drink bottled water because of the common
conception that bottled water is healthier than regular tap water.
Keep in mind what Margaret Mead once said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”
A. Environmental protection has become a major part in our life.
B. Here are some astonishing facts on
going vegetarian for only one
day.
C. Having more vegetables does good to our health.
D. As a result, 90% of the plastic bottles do not get recycled.
E. Actually, 25% of bottled water comes from regular tap water.
F. Recycling the Sunday newspaper alone we could save half a million trees a week.
G. Here are three simple ways adolescents
can go green and change the world.

第二节 书面表达
Dear Jackson,
On behalf of our class, I would like to share with you what we think of your teaching in the past month.
We all think highly of your lectures because you have taught us that learning English is not for a score but for pleasure. However, some problems also arise, causing some trouble to our learning efficiency. First, you speak English so quickly that some of us fail to catch what you say. Second, you prepared a list of books for us to read after class, but unfortunately, a few books are hard to obtain. Last, we don’t get used to your brief explanation.
We all hope that after all these problems are worked out, the class will be more interesting and fruitful in the days to come.
Yours,
