A
Next Thursday is the World Book Day-a celebration of all things wonderful about books for all ages, with author events, school fancy- dress parades and a￡1 book token(优惠券) given to all schoolchildren under 18.
Sometimes, reading a modern novel can be tough (Booker Prize- winner The Luminaries ran t0 832 pages!), especially if you lack confidence in your literacy skills. In fact, one in six people in the UK never pick up a book because they've experienced difficulties or are out of the habit of reading for pleasure.
But the Galaxy Quick Reads series are designed to introduce reluctant readers to bestselling short funny novels, which bring the joy of reading without demanding hours of concentrated time. They cover a range of subjects, from romance to comedy.
You can read Jojo Moyes's Paris For One , a romantic adventure in
which 26-year-old Nell books a weekend away to Paris with her lazy,
neglectful boyfriend. When he fails to turn up, she is alone in the city.
That is, until she meets Fabien, who shows her the charms of the
French capital - in more ways than one.
Meanwhile, Adele Geras's moving story Out InThe Dark was set in World War I, in which young Rob came back from the battlefields. Determined to find the officer's widow to return the photo of her and their daughter that the captain kept with him, he traveled several thousand miles but never gave up.
Dead Man Talking is a fantastic tale of Pat, who' had a terrible fight with his best friend, Joe, ten years ago-but now hears that Joe is dead, and he must attend his funeral. But Joe is not going quietly that good night-he's lying in his coffin being very chatty indeed.
21. What will happen on the World Book Day according to the poster?
A. Schoolchildren will be given fine clothes as gifts.
B. The authors of books will attend some events.
C. Experts will encourage people to write their novels.
D. There's a range of books that are priced at just ￡l.
22. If you are interested in a horror story, you may choose_____.
A. Galaxy Quick Reads B. Paris For One
C. Dead Man Talking D. Out In The Dark
23. The passage is mainly about_____.
A. recommendation of good books to readers
B. the history of the World Book Day 2015
C. advice on how to get cheap books
D. a plan to develop the habit of reading among adults
B
When I was 10 years old, I tried out for the cheerleading squad. I had taken gymnastics classes for two years to prepare for these tryouts. However, I didn't make the team. It was a heavy blow to me. I cried all night.
Kids today won't experience that kind of rejection. They're growing up in "everybody gets a turn" world where every child gets a chance to kick the ball, sing the song, and win the award. But that's not always such a good thing.
Parents have become fearful of letting kids fail, thinking that our children are easily hurt and will never recover from anything-that's a serious problem. Last week, my 7- year-old daughter didn't get into the school play. At first, I was upset by it. How would she react? When I gave her the news, I was ready to hug her and cry with her. She looked at me, made a slight face and said, "That's too bad. What's for dinner?"
It clearly wasn't the end of her world. Maybe if we let our kids experience rejection once in a while, we'd realize they are much stronger than we think. Kids need to be able to handle disappointments; doing so helps them to prepare for real life. Most importantly, rejection carries the possibility not only for growth and can also motivate kids to try harder the next time.
Rejection is pain. There is no way around that. How will our kids ever discover their true talents if we don't let them? Instead of complaining, maybe we should consider rejection an opportunity.
24. The author shared her childhood story with readers to_____.
A. show how her parents attached importance to her education
B. suggest how difficult it was for her to join a cheerleader squad
C. introduce the topic of how to let kids face rejection in life
D. explain why children are easily hurt in the process of their growth
25. When failing to get into the school play, the author's 7-year-old daughter_____.
A. felt greatly disappointed B. was upset about it
C. cried all night D. thought nothing of it
26.1n the author's opinion, rejection______.
A. is something that can be avoided in life
B. is good for the growth of the children
C. discourages children from learning new things
D. causes children to lose their confidence
27. What is important when we face rejection according to the last paragraph?
A. Attitude. B. Interest.
C. Health. D. Memory.
C
A hundred years ago on Monday, a once-mighty species became extinct. At the Cincinnati Zoo, a passenger pigeon named Martha died at the age of 29.
It was a quiet end to a noisy species. As recently as the mid-1800s, billions of passenger pigeons swarmed across the eastern half of the United States. But they proved no match for humans, whose rapidly advancing technology drove the birds to extinction in a matter of decades. Other species were also spiraling toward extinction in the late 1800s, but the destruction of the passenger pigeon happened on full public display. "It became the icon (标志) of extinction. "
A hundred years later, the passenger pigeon remains iconic. In 2012, a group of scientists launched a project now named the Great Passenger Pigeon Comeback to create cloned passenger pigeons-or at least birds genetically engineered to have passenger pigeon features. Two years later, project scientists are still hard at work. But they can't say when-or even if-the bird will fly again.
Nor has anyone ever cloned a bird, so every step in the plan will take the project scientists into unknown scientific territory to give rise to a passenger pigeon. Extracting an undamaged passenger pigeon gene from museum specimens (样本) seems impossible. Novak and his colleagues are hoping to reconstruct the gene of the band-tailed pigeons, the closest living relatives of passenger pigeons, which live in the western United States.
Even if the scientists end up with some passenger pigeon chicks in a few years, they will still be a long way from successfully reestablishing the species. However, people today can learn many lessons in its disappearance and apply it to protecting threatened species today.
28. The underlined word "spiraling" in the second paragraph means______.
A. circling at a lower speed B. declining sharply
B. marching forward fast D. increasing gradually
29. The project Great Passenger Pigeon Comeback is intended to ______.
A, reintroduce passenger pigeons to America
B. experiment with cloning technology
C. protect the endangered band-tailed pigeons
D. recreate an extinct bird species
30. Which of the following are the difficulties of carrying out the project?
a. They couldn't find an undamaged gene of the species.
b. Cloning a bird is a completely new thing.
c. The museum refused to provide the sample of the bird.
d. They can't get the closest relative of the passenger pigeon.
e. There is no previous experience to rely on.
A. a, b ,c B. b ,c, d C. a, b, e D. c, d ,e
31. What does the author think of the efforts the scientists are making?
A. It is well worth having such a try.
B. They can hardly achieve their goal.
C. They are only steps away from success.
D. It is meaningless for the species protection.
D
You arrive on time at the Smith's house to babysit three-year-old Max. When Mrs. Smith invites you into the house, you find Max sitting on the floor with an ipad. You look around for a book, and then you realize the ipad is teaching him how to read through a series of songs and games. Mrs Smith looks as though she couldn't be prouder of her son for playing such educational games.
Technology is becoming more important in our everyday lives. From playing a game to asking Sir for directions to a restaurant, we are depending heavily on our handheld device. Companies such as Fisher-price and Open solutions are making apps such as "Laugh and Learn" ,"Baby Hear and Read" and "Baby's First Puzzle. " These apps are marketed to parents and their babies. Some companies say that their apps will help the baby learn to read while others promise skills such as identifying shapes and sounds. Many parents say that these games have helped their children a lot.
Recently the campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, a Boston-based group, has been accusing companies, who make these supposedly educational games, of false advertising. The campaign believes that these games are doing very little to improve the education of young children.
"What babies need for healthy brain development is active play, hand-ons creative play and face-to-face interaction. "says Susan Linn, the group's director. This means that when you are babysitting little Max, you should play board games with him or games that require him to use his own imagination. This will help him to learn not only skills that the games teach him, but he will learn social skills. The American Academy of Pediatrics agrees with Linn, discouraging any electronic time for babies under 2, while older children should be limited to one to two hours a day.
32. We can learn that many parents think the apps such as "Laugh and Learn" are
A. dull to use B. complex to operate
C. expensive to buy D. beneficial to possess
33. Which of the following may Suan Linn agree with?
A. The ipad will soon take the place of babysitters.
B. Baby's First Puzzle is a good choice for parents.
C. Babies should stay away from these learning apps.
D. The apps from Fisher-Price can teach children a lot.
34. What a babysitter really needs to do is to_____.
A. buy more educational apps from markets
B. turn to Commercial-Free Childhood for help
C. create more activities that children can take part in
D. encourage more kids to discover more electronic games
35. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. Fun educational apps for education
B. Learning apps: Do they really help?
C. Is modern technology improving our lives?
D. The campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood

High-Tech Santa:4 Devices to Give the Old Man a Boost
Every year, Santa guides his sleigh from the North Pole and gets presents delivered to all the good girls and boys of the world. Can technology give the kind old man a hand in finishing his rounds? After all, Santa isn't getting any younger, and Christmas Eve isn't getting any longer. Here are a few suggestions.
Note: we are not being paid to promote these products. 36
1．A 3D printer
Manufacturing is a tough business, so Santa must be very busy in making millions of gifts. Perhaps Santa could feel easier if he caught up with the 3D-printing craze. Desktop 3D printers for home use are just coming on the market. 37
2．A high-tech list
Notebook and paper are s0 20th century. Santa needs something new-perhaps a tablet? We suggest Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1.It comes with a pen and note-taking apps, so Santa won't have to take off his gloves to swipe at the screen. 38
3．GPS
Santa needs to take advantage of the global positioning system (GPS). GPS has been around since 1995 and is now taken for granted in phones and cars._39 GPS trackers can even help Mrs. Claus keep an eye on her husband.
4．Protective cases
One disadvantage to entering the digital age is that most tech gadgets aren't built for the cold. Most digital devices only do between 0 C and 35 C. 40 A company has a possible answer. It uses new materials that protect spacecraft from the cold of space and the heat of a launch. The company must be willing to offer Christmasy red protective cases.
A. Such devices can show where someone is and where they've been.
B. Who wants to take off their gloves to use a touch screen in snow and ice?
C. Many people want to track Santa with high-tech devices.
D. What should Santa do if he wants to use his ipad in the North Pole?
E. Santa's white gloves provide a nice contrast to his bright-red suit.
F. They're capable of turning digital instructions into real things.
G. We're simply concerned for Santa's well-being.

阅读下面材料，在题后空白处填入适当的单词（每空一词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
I consider myself something of 61 expert on apologies. A quick temper has provided me 62 plenty of opportunities to make them. In one of my earliest 63 (memorize), my mother was telling me, “Don't watch the ground when you say, ‘I'm sorry'. Hold your head6.4一and look at the person in the eye, so he'll know you mean it. ”My mother thus made the key point of a 65 (succeed) apology: It must be direct.
66 important thing we should do for an effective apology is to bear the responsibility for our careless mistakes. We are used to 67 (make) excuses, which leaves no room for the other person to forgive us. Since most people are open-hearted, the no-excuse apology leaves both parties feeling 68 (good) about themselves. That, after all, is the purpose of every apology. It matters little 69 you are wholly or only partly wrong: answering for your mistake 70 (encourage) others to take their share of the blame.

Childhood is a time when there are little duties. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after, and loved no matter when he may do. It's impossible for him to be given such much again in his later life. But a child is not so free to do as he wishes it. He is continually being told not to do this, not to do that, or being punished for what he had done wrong.
When the young man starts to make their own living, he becomes free from the rules of school and parents. Therefore, he can no longer expect others to pay his food, his clothes, and his room. He has to work hard to live comfortable. If so, he can have the great happiness of build up his own position in society.
