Ever thought of moving to a new country? How about starting a new country? Patri Friedman is planning to do just that. He left Google years ago to set up the Seasteading Institute. And his dream is to build seasteads-----floating micro-nations in the middle of the ocean.
So, what will life on a seastead be like? Probably a bit like life on a cruise liner (游轮), but much larger, with shops, gyms, swimming pools, schools and other areas. In fact, the early seasteads may actually be specially-rebuilt cruise liners. But as science advances, Friedman believes they’ll become more like floating cities, with several hundred people.
Seasteading raises a lot of questions. First of all, how will the new countries make money? The Seasteading Institute has suggested several money-making ideas, including ocean-based theme parks, casinos (赌场) and fish farming. There’s also the questions of safety. With storms, typhoons and pirates (海盗) , the high seas are a dangerous place. However, the Institute says that it can stand bad weather and prevent crimes with its well-designed systems.
So, is this just a day dream? Well, maybe not. One of the people behind the project is Peter Thiel. He founded PayPal and was one of the first investors (投资者) in Facebook. So far, he’s donated $ 500,000 to the project.
And Friedman isn’t wasting any time. He recently announced the creation of the Poseidon Award. This will be given to the first seastead with fifty people. Friedman is hoping to hand out the award in 2015.Where did Friedman use to work?
| A．In Facebook. | B．In Seastead Institute . | C．In PayPal. | D．In Google. |
A future seastead may be most likely to look like ___________________.
| A．a cruise liner | B．a floating city | C．a theme park | D．a fishing farm |
What can we infer from the passage?
| A．Friedman is planning to move to a new country. |
| B．Friedman is worried about the safety of seasteads. |
| C．Friedman has got some supporters for his project. |
| D．Friedman has already won the Poseidon Award. |
Which of the following can be the best titles of this passage?
| A．Seasteading: a new idea of living |
| B．Seasteading: a wild way of farming |
| C．Peter Thiel: a man behind the project |
| D．Patri Friedman: a crazy day dreamer |
Is it difficult for you to get up in the morning? Hiroyuki’s bed will solve your problem! Here is how it works.
The bed is connected to an alarm clock(闹钟). First, the alarm clock rings. You have a few minutes to wake up. Next, a tape recorder in the bed plays soft music. The tape recorder in Hiroyuki’s bed plays a recording of his girlfriend. She whispered in a soft voice, “Wake up, darling, please.” After minutes later, Hiroyuki hears a recording of his boss. His boss shouts, “Wake up at once, or you’ll be late!”
If you don’t get up after the second recording, a mechanical(机械的) “foot” in the bed will kick you in the head. The bed waits a few more minutes. What! You’re still in bed! Slowly the top of the bed rises higher and higher. The foot of the bed goes lower and lower. Finally you slide(滑落) off the bed and onto the floor. You are out of bed awake!
Hiroyuki’s bed is not in stores. There is only one bed — the bed Hiroyuki made for a contest(比赛). Maybe someday a company will make Hiroyuki’s bed and sell it in stores. Maybe people will buy millions of beds. Then Hiroyuki will be rich. If the bed makes Hiroyuki rich, he won’t need to work, and he won’t need to get up early! The bed is useful to the people ________.
A. who can’t sleep well
B. who can’t get up early
C. who go to bed late The bed is not connected to ________.
A. an alarm clock B. a tape recorder C. a TVWhat will finally happen to Hiroyuki if he doesn’t get up?

C. A mechanical “foot” will kick him in the head. Which is TRUE of the following sentences?
A. Hiroyuki’s company has made many such beds.
B. Hiroyuki’s bed is the only one made for a contest.
C. Hiroyuki has made a lot of money.The word “whisper” in the second paragraph means “________”.

Information is received into our brain by attention, and its quality determines (决定) how well it will be processed, saved and used afterwards.
All information we receive is chosen by our attention. Factors (因素) affecting (影响) our attention are personal interest, experience, ability, feelings, knowledge, environment, timing, and so on. The same information may attract different forms and levels of attention from different people. Some people can get and save the information easily; some may have great difficulty; while others may just turn a blind eye to it. To the same information, one may even pay different levels of attention at different times. But if the facts work together, the quality of attention may be better. Therefore, it is not surprising to see that somebody with average intelligence (智力) can have excellent performances in some fields.
The good news is that a person's attention can be shaped, trained and made stronger by effective exercise. With this in mind, we should keep improving the quality of our attention."it" in Paragraph 1 means _______.

Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. "The door to his room is always shut." Joanna noted.
Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. "She used to sit in my arms on the sofa and talk with me," said Mark. "Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which."
Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what's on their minds. "In fact, parents are first on the list." said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. "This completely changes during the teen years." Riera explained. "They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last."
Parents who know what's going on in their teenagers' lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them. We can know Michael Riera in the passage is ________.
| A．An author. | B．A mother. | C．A father. | D．A teenager. |
"The door to his room is always shut" suggests that the son_______.
| A．is always busy with his studies |
| B．doesn't want to be disturbed |
| C．keeps himself away from his parents |
| D．begins to dislike his parents |
What troubles Tina and Mark most is that _______.
| A．their daughter isn't as lovely as before |
| B．they can't read their daughter's mind exactly |
| C．they don't know what to say to their daughter |
| D．their daughter talks with them only when she needs help |
Which of the following best explains "the wall of silence" in the last paragraph?
| A．Teenagers talk a lot with their friends. |
| B．Teenagers do not want to understand their parents. |
| C．Teenagers do not talk much with their parents. |
| D．Teenagers talk little about their own lives. |
What can be learned from the passage?
| A．Parents are unhappy with their growing children. |
| B．Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers. |
| C．Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers. |
| D．Parents should try to understand their teenagers. |

A habit is any action that we have performed so often that it becomes something that we do almost without thinking. Some of them are thought to be bad habits. People spend countless hours and dollars each year trying to get rid of these bad habits but often fail. Why? Change is hard work and there is no shortcut to achieve it. However, there is still some advice for you to follow.
First, look at why you do it. In other words, what’s the result of doing this thing? If your bad habit is shouting at people when you are unhappy or under pressure, what do you get from it? It may make you feel a little better for the moment. Or maybe you have a bad habit of leaving your homework undone. The result could be that you get more time to spend on the Internet!
Next, take a look on the other hand. What are you losing because of your habit? Shouting at other people is a bad habit because it makes people around you feel bad and unhappy. Leaving your homework undone is a bad habit because you may be punished by your teacher. Having more Internet time means that you are losing the chance to learn the things that you need to learn. When you think that way, you’ll find that it’s not wise to keep your bad habit! Now it is time to make a decision. What will you choose? I’m sure you will choose to do what you think is more important.From the first paragraph we know that __________.
| A．a habit is a terrible thing that we can never change |
| B．people take countless hours and dollars to get rid of habits |
| C．none of the people who try to break bad habits are successful |
| D．though it is difficult, we can still do something about our bad habits |
The underlined sentence “there is no shortcut to achieve it” means that ________.
| A．it is not easy to get rid of bad habits |
| B．there is a long way and a short way |
| C．something dangerous may happen |
| D．we must cut it in a short time. |
The main purpose of this passage is to __________.
| A．introduce and describe | B．complain（埋怨）and disagree |
| C．explain(解释) and advise | D．discuss and argue（争论） |
Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the local people of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the local people become unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy(经济). It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance(推进) the well-being (health and happiness) of local people.
Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.
On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a lot of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money.
Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.What is probably the reason if local people dislike tourists?
| A．Tourists come to enjoy the customs and beauty. |
| B．Local people lose jobs. |
| C．A lot of hotels are built. |
| D．Too many tourists cause traffic problems. |
What can we do to solve the problems caused by tourism?
| A．Make plans properly. |
| B．Help the country’s economy. |
| C．Build fewer hotels. |
| D．Advance the well-being of local people. |
If tourism grows too quickly, ___________.
| A．businesses will lose money |
| B．other parts of the country’s economy will make more money |
| C．local people will be happier |
| D．more local people will work for tourists. |
Support facilities needed by tourist attractions includes ___________.
①public places ②hotels ③airports ④roads ⑤electricity ⑥sewers
| A．①②③④⑤ | B．②③④⑤⑥ | C．①②③⑤⑥ | D．①③④⑤⑥ |
If the writer wants to add Paragraph 5 to the passage, he may tell us ________.
| A．whether people need to build more hotels |
| B．whether people need to plan tourism properly |
| C．how to deal with the problems above |
| D．how to prevent tourism growing too quickly |
