15．Away from parents，above the crowd，enjoying total freedom-having a tree house can be every little kid's dream．Workshops aimed at teaching people how to build tree houses have become widely popular in America in recent years．
Three-year-old Mica and her little sister got a tree house this year．This﹩28，000tree house is a gift from their parents．Roughly three meters above ground，the platform was built into two large trees．"The fancy hide-out has a climbing wall and I wanted them to go in to make it feel more like a secret hideout，"said Mica's mother Kristin Keenan．
This amazing tree house was created by Dan Wright．He's the founder of Tree Top Builders Inc．and has built more than 400tree houses since he started the company in 2003．"A sense of freedom and independence…that's I think why Americans particularly like tree houses．Because it gets you up off the ground and，for kids，their parents can't reach them anymore．They are up looking down，getting a new perspective on life，"said Wright．
According to Wright，installing the special tree bolt（螺栓），which requires both strength and accuracy，is the most important part of the work．"As the tree grows，sometimes you need to move parts of the structure or cut parts of it away to give the tree room to grow each year．It gets ticker，"said Wright．The base is then lifted on top of the tree bolts．It will soon become the foundation of a great tree house，so kids or adults can enjoy playing in the treetops．

16．The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past．With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphones，writing by hand has become something of a nostalgic （怀旧的） skill．However，while today's educators are using more and more technology in their teaching，many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful-both in school and in life．
Virginia Berninger，professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington，says it's important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand．
Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks-both on a computer and by hand．The study，published in 2015，found that when writing with a pen and paper，participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate．
In a more recent study，Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student's writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write．"Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active，which helps us access our vocabulary，word meaning and concepts．It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas．"Berninger said．
Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe （转换）"those words in the mind into written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen，"the study said．Seeing the words in the"mind's eye"helps children not only to turn their ideas into words，says Berninger，but also to spot （发现） spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time．
"In our computer age，some people believe that we don't have to teach spelling because we have spell checks，"she said．"But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level，they won't have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer．"

28．What makes writing by hand a thing of the past？B
A．The absence of blackboards in classrooms．
B．The use of new technologies in our daily life．
C．The lack of practice in handwriting．
D．The popular use of smartphones．
29．Berninger's study published in 2015A．
A．focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computer
B．indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paper
C．found that good essays are made up of long sentences
D．discussed the importance of writing speed
30．Which of the following best shows the role of spelling？B
A．Spelling improves one's memory of words．
B．Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability．
C．Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas．
D．Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas．
31．What conclusion could be drawn from the passage？C
A．Computers can help people with their choice of words．
B．Spelling checks can take the place of spelling teaching．
C．Handwriting still has a place in today's classrooms．
D．Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade．

6．Picture a library without books？Well，I can't．Ever since I was little l would go to the library and take out numerous books． From picture books to beginning chapter books to YA books，books have always been a part of my life． Unlike many people today，I don't own a Kindle or a Nook or any type of e-reader． I prefer the old-fashioned book． There is something about holding a book and being able to turn the pages that I find comforting． In today's 21st century，books may become obsolete． For me that's something I find scary．
I am a fan of the old TV science-fiction series Twilight Zone． One episode（一段情节）is about a librarian who has become obsolete．Though this episode aired in 1961，the writer of the series，Rod Serling was exactly on point when it came to predicting the future．
In fact，in San Antonio，Texas the first-ever bookless library in the country opened．The library is full of iMacs，tablets and iPads which cost a huge $2.3million．The library offers around 10.000e-books． So the question is，is this what the future will soon be？Mary Graham，vice president of South Carolina's Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce states，"This is the future…If you're going to be building new library facilities，this is what you need to be doing．"
It is our generation that will be the guinea pigs （试验品） of increasing technology like this． Is this a good or bad thing？Well，digital libraries may help the environment by not using paper； however，I feel like something will always be lacking with a digital book．A digital library is just the beginning．
With all of this new technology，people seem to be more absorbed in their own world．One of my biggest complaints is when I am with my friends and they can't seem to get off their smart phone and talk to me． To make plans with a friend and then have them stuck on their phone the whole time is extremely rude．Not only is it disrespectful，but it reflects the direction of where human interactions are heading．Though social media is great，it also is addicting and has negative effects．
Often when I go on Facebook it just makes me feel worse about myself． I'll see many of my 800Facebook friends showing off their newest accomplishment or acceptance to college．Additionally，our society is becoming increasingly lazy． For instance，instead of doing mental math，people use their phone to solve 89+74． It is simple tasks like these that are allowing people to lack important educational and social skills．
It is up to us to find a balance between technology and human values and interactions． With new technology being created every day，we need to learn how to use it alongside our great minds．After all，inventions are supposed to benefit society not harm it． In the day of technology，who knows what's next？

41．The underlined word"obsolete"（Paragraph l） is closest in meaning to．A
A． outdated B． complex C． expensive D． meaningless
42．What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2？C
A．The episode still enjoys great popularity nowadays．
B．Rod Serling liked making predictions about the future．
C．The situation of books today is similar to what Rod Serling predicted in the episode．
D．The episode airing in 1961was the most entertaining of the TV science-fiction series．
43．What can we learn about the library in San Antonio，Texas？D
A．It is the first-ever library in America．
B．It is of no practical use although it costs so much．
C．It holds an exhibition of much electronic equipment．
D．People can read e-books there with the help of the new facilities．
44．Which of the following will the writer probably disagree with？C
A．Great as social media is，it does have some negative effects．
B．With the increasing use of social media，something will actually be lost．
C．Through social media，people can develop educational and social skills around．
D．As a result of social media，people may communicate less with the people around．
45．The tone of the passage is best described asB．
A．Optimistic B．Skeptical C．Supportive D．Objective．

10．

Even as Google plans to test its fleet（车队）of self-driving cars on public roads this summer，its business model remains a bit of a mystery．By 2025，as many as 250，000self-driving vehicles could be sold each year globally，according to a study by an industry research firm．
"Vehicles that can take anyone from A to B at the push of a button could transform mobility for millions of people，"said Chris Urmson，director of Google's self-driving car project．For now，Google has no plans to sell any of its self-driving cars．They are strictly for research．But they will hit public roads this summer near Google's headquarters in Mountain View，California．Previous testing has taken place only on closed courses．
The cars are built to operate without a steering wheel，accelerator（油门）or brake pedal．"Our software and sensors do all the work，"Urmson said．"The vehicles will be very basic-we want to learn from them and adapt them as quickly as possible-but they will take you where you want to go at the push of a button．"The prototype（雏形）are the first of a 100-car fleet the tech giant is building．
In the long run，Urmson sees a future of safer roads-the majority of auto accidents are caused by human error-and fewer traffic jams．Robotic cars could also shuttle people who can't drive because of age or illness．
Google has said that self-driving cars could launch new business models in which people buy the use of vehicles they don't own．The company has already tested other types of self-driving cars on public streets，including modified Lexus sport-utility vehicles，under a special permit program by the California Department of Motor Vehicles that requires a human driver at the controls．
The state has issued six other companies permits to operate such cars，including Delphi，Mercedes-Benz，Volkswagen，Tesla，Bosch and Nissan．The vehicles that will be tested on open roads this summer will have removable steering wheels，accelerators and brake pedals to allow"safety drivers"to take control if needed．
Google says the cars are safe．The vehicles have sensors that"can detect objects out to a distance of more than two football fields in all directions，which is especially helpful on busy streets with lots of intersections，"Urmson said．"We're looking forward to learning how the community understands and interacts with the vehicles，and to uncovering challenges that are unique to a fully self-driving vehicle，"Urmson said．

63．The passage informs us that self-driving carsA．
A．will probably decrease traffic jams
B．have already passed necessary tests
C．have been purchased by some companies
D．will be able to communicate with drivers
64．According to Chris Urmson，A．
A．software and sensors are vital for self-driving cars
B．self-driving cars can give driving orders to humans
C．self-driving cars are specially designed for the elderly
D．ordinary vehicles will be replaced by self-driving cars
65．The underlined word"intersections"in the last paragraph probably meansC．
A．accidents B．buildings C．crossings D．vehicles
66．What is the best title for this passage？D
A．Self-driving Car Avoids Human Errors
B．Self-driving Car Meets New Challenges
C．Google's Self-driving Car Enjoys Global Popularity
D．Google's Self-driving Car Graduates to City Streets．

The Olympic flame

The Olympic Flame is a symbol carried over from the ancient Olympics, where a flame burned at the altar（祭坛）of Zeus throughout competition. It was finally reintroduced at the 1924 Amsterdam Games, and again burned in 1932.

Carl Diem, chairman of the organizing committee for the 1936 Berlin Games, proposed that the flame be lit in Greece and transported to Berlin via a torch relay. The idea was adopted(采纳) and continued at every Olympic Games since 1952. The flame is lit at the ancient site of Olympia by the natural rays of the sun reflected off a curved mirror. It is lit at a ceremony by women dressed in robes resembling those worn in ancient times, who then pass it to the first relay runner.

The Olympic motto

“Citius, altius, fortius” is a Latin phrase meaning “swifter, higher, stronger”, which Baron de Coubertin borrowed from Father Henri Martin Dideon of Paris. Dideon was headmaster of Arcueil College, and used the phrase to describe the athletic achievements of students at the school. He had previously been at the Albert Le Grand school, where the Latin words were carved in stone above the main entrance.

The Olympic oath

“In the name of all competitors, I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules that govern them, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honor of our teams.”

Written by Baron de Coubertin, the oath is taken by an athlete from the host nation while holding a corner of the Olympic flag. The athletes’ oath was first taken by Belgian fencer Victor Boin at the 1920 Antwerp Games. A judge from the host country also speaks the oath, with slightly different wording.

1.The Olympic flame was first burned at _______ in modern times.

A. the 1920 Games

B. the 1924 Games

C. the 1932 Games

D. the 1936 Games

2.The underlined word "proposed" can be replaced with .

A. ordered

B. insisted

C. suggested

D. requested

3.From the passage we can learn ________.

A. the first torch relay was held at the 1936 Berlin Games

B. before 1936, no flames burned at the Olympic Games

C. Carl Diem proposed that flames should burn at the Olympic Games

D. The Olympic torch has burned since 1924

4.The Olympic motto was .

A. written by Baron de Coubertin

B. from Greek

C. from the ancient Olympic

D. borrowed from Father Henri Dideon of Paris
