    Facebook is now used by 30 million people in the UK, around half the population. Joanna Shields, vice president of Facebook Europe, made the announcement this morning at a media conference in London.
    Globally, Facebook has more than 500 million registered （注册的） users, a milestone it hit last summer. Last July it had 26 million registered UK users. In the last eight months, it has attracted four million extra UK users, bringing the UK total to 30 million.
    Facebook, the brainchild of Mark Zuckerberg while he was still studying at Harvard University, was launched in February 2004. The pace of its global growth has sped rapidly - Facebook had only 150 million registered users in January 2009.
    One third of women aged between 18 to 34 check Facebook when they first wake up, before even going to the toilet, according to the research. 21% check Facebook in the middle of the night, while 42% of the same group think it is fine to post drunken photos of themselves onto the social network, a study by Oxygen Media and Lightspeed Research found.
    Shields was speaking this morning at the Financial Times Digital Media and Broadcasting Conference about the power Facebook’s referrals （好友推荐）can bring to media sites, such as newspapers and TV services. She explained that the average Facebook user has 130 friends who they share links to media sites with regularly. “Media companies which take advantage of that are really seeing the benefits,” Shields said. Shields refused to be drawn on whether Facebook would develop its own mobile phone operating system and also said it was “silly” that Google had recently disabled the feature which allowed Google users to refresh their contacts with Facebook friends.
    小题1:Eight months ago the number of registered users of Facebook in UK was about ____.
    A．less than half of its populationB．30 million
    C．4 millionD．500 million
    小题2:Shields talked at the Financial Times Digital Media and Broadcasting Conferences about the following EXCEPT ____.

    D．its call for more media sites to take advantage of Facebook
    小题3:What does the underlined word “disabled” mean in the last paragraph?
    A．InventedB．Strengthened
    C．AddedD．Stopped
    小题4:What is the best title of the text?
    A．Facebook’s referrals bring benefits
    B．Facebook: the brainchild of Mark Zuckergerg
    C．Facebook: used by half the UK population
    D．Facebook: women’s preference

    小题1:A
    小题2:B
    小题3:D
    小题4:C

    试题分析：这篇文章是一篇新闻报道，内容关于Facebook公布英国现在有三千万人在使用Facebook，以及它带来的影响。
    小题1:推理题：根据第二段中“Last July it had 26 million registered UK users”去年七月是2600万英国用户，根据第一段内容可知英国有6000万人口，因此还不到英国人口的一半。故选A。
    小题2:细节题：根据最后一段中“Shields refused to be drawn on whether Facebook would develop its own mobile phone operating system”希尔兹拒绝透露Facebook是否会开发自己的手机操作系统，可知B项错误。故选B。
    小题3:推理题：划线部分“also said it was “silly” that Google had recently disabled the feature which allowed Google users to refresh their contacts with Facebook friends.”Google最近宣布取消同步更新facebook好友清单的功能，对此希尔兹回应说此举“不明智”。“disable”禁用，四项中只有“stop”与之相近。故选D。
    小题4:主旨题：阅读全文可知文章是关于Facebook公布英国现在有三千万人在使用Facebook，以及它带来的影响。故选C。

    The world’s oldest person, Ms. Baines, died. She celebrated her 115th birthday with congratulations from Barack Obama, President of the United States.  Over her life she lived through the terms of 21 US presidents.
    Gertrude Baines passed away(去世) peacefully in her sleep at the Western Convalescent Hospital in Los Angeles, where she had lived for her last ten years. Emma Camanag , the hospital’s leader ，said she was a respectable lady. "It is really an honor for the hospital to take care of her over the last 10 years and we will greatly miss her.

    (Reuters)—A Malaysia Airlines flight carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew was presumed to have crashed off the Vietnamese coast on Saturday, and European officials said two people on board were using false identities.
    There were no reports of bad weather and no sign of why the Boeing 777-200ER would have vanished from radar screens about an hour after it took off from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing.
    “We are not ruling out any possibilities,” Malaysia Airlines CEO Ahmad Jauhari Yahya told a news conference.
    By the early hours of Sunday, there were no confirmed signs of the plane or any wreckage, well over 24 hours after it went missing. Operations will continue through the night, officials said.
    There were no indications of sabotage (蓄意破坏) nor claims of an attack. But the passenger list issued by the airline included the names of two Europeans—Austrian Christian Kozel and Italian Luigi Maraldi—who, according to their foreign ministries, were not in fact on the plane.
    A foreign ministry spokesman in Vienna said: “Our embassy got the information that there was an Austrian on board. That was the passenger list from Malaysia Airlines. Our system came back with a note that this is a stolen passport.”
    Austrian police had found the man safe at home. The passport was stolen two years ago while he was travelling in Thailand, the spokesman said.
    The foreign ministry in Rome said no Italian was on the plane either, despite the inclusion of Maraldi’s name on the list. His mother, Renata Lucchi, told Reuters his passport was lost, presumed stolen, in Thailand in 2013.
    U.S. and European security officials said that there was no proof of any terrorist link and there could be other explanations for the use of stolen passports.
    小题1:What was Ahmad Jauhari Yahya’s attitude?
    A．Uncertain.B．Negative.C．Positive.D．Confident.
    小题2:According to the passage, the foreign ministry spokesman in Vienna had made sure ______.
    A．two passports had been stolen by two Europeans
    B．Christian Kozel was the man who kidnapped the plane
    C．the Austrian on board was actually at home
    D．Christian Kozel lied to the police
    小题3:Which of the following is true about Maraldi?
    A．He was from Austria.
    B．He was found safe at home.
    C．His mother was sad when she saw his name on the list.
    D．His passport was lost in Thailand.
    小题4:Who should be responsible for the missing of the plane according to the passage?
    A．Terrorists.B．Two people using false identities.
    C．We are not sure.D．Christian Kozel and Luigi Maraldi.

    Every time Lionel Messi breaks a record, it seems appropriate to compare him to the legends that came before him.

    In 2012, he rewrote soccer history on multiple occasions, and his latest record came when he scored his 86th goal of the calendar year, breaking Gerd Muller’s previous mark, before wrapping up the year with 91 goals.
    All statistics indicate that Messi is currently the best player in the world, and that he will go down in history as the top footballer of his generation. But when he is judged against all-time greats like Pele and Diego Maradona, he still has work to do.
    We don’t know whether the Barcelona striker will have another year in which he records more than 90 goals, but he must still sustain(维持)a similar level of production for the next several seasons.
    Messi has already taken part in three of Barcelona’s victorious Champions League(冠军联赛)campaigns, and he played an important role in two of them. In order to firmly establish himself as the greatest club football player in history, he must win the tournament a few more times.
    Most importantly, the Argentine(阿根廷人)needs to win on the international stage. Regardless of what Messi does for Barcelona, his legacy will be incomplete if he cannot win the World Cup with Argentina.
    Both Pele and Maradona led their countries to the top of international soccer during their careers, and Messi’s performances for his country have been severely disappointing.
    While he was still a teenager in 2006-and his lackluster(平淡的)showing is excusable due to his youth-he cannot brush off the disappointment that characterized Argentina’s performance in 2010.
    But the 4-0 loss to Germany in the 2010 World Cup Quarter Final seems to have sparked Messi. He scored 12 times for Argentina last year, and the next World Cup could finally be Messi’s breakout performance in blue and white stripes.
    Due to all of his accomplishments, it is easy to forget that the extraordinary footballer is just 25 years old. If he can avoid injury or lengthy slumps(低潮状态)until his speed and skills start to decline due to age, he may continue to break records and win trophies.
    小题1:What will Messi have to do in order to be complete in his soccer career?
    A．He must win the World Cup with Argentina.
    B．He must win the tournament a few more times.
    C．He must defeat Pele and Maradona.
    D．He must avoid injury or lengthy slumps.
    小题2:How was Messi’s performance in 2010 World Cup?
    A．Excellent.
    B．Inspiring.
    C．Disappointing.
    D．Normal.
    小题3:What can we infer from the passage?
    A．Messi has firmly established himself as the greatest club soccer player in history.
    B．Messi will try his best to win the next World Cup with Argentina.
    C．Messi can avoid injury and lengthy slumps to break records and win trophies.
    D．Pele and Maradona led their countries to the top of international soccer during their careers.
    小题4:What is the best title of the passage?
    A．Lionel Messi, the Best Soccer Player of All Time
    B．Lionel Messi, the Greatest Soccer Player in History
    C．Barcelona and Lionel Messi
    D．World Cup and Lionel Messi

    A 16-year-old boy finds himself on a boat in the Pacific Ocean after escaping a shipwreck(海难). Even worse, he is left with a huge tiger for company. But he manages to survive after 227 days of fighting against all the hardships of the sea.
    Pi, the lead character in Oscar-winning Ang Lee’s new movie Life of Pi, went through an inspiring journey of growth and self-discovery. So did 19-year-old Suraj Sharma, the Indian actor who plays him.
    But it was a lucky chance that opened up the opportunity for the new star. Sharma was a regular student who lived with his mathematician parents in Delhi, India. As the director traveled to Mumbai to find his Pi, the teenager went along with his younger brother, who had acted in a couple of movies, to audition(试镜). But little did Sharma know that he would end up winning the role from 3, 000 hopefuls.
    Lee said he saw Pi in Sharma: “Not only does he have a compelling and wise look. He has this rare talent.” The director said that in the final round, Sharma gave one of the “most compelling readings we had. In the end, he was in tears.” Understandably, Sharma didn’t want to let Lee down. “He (Lee) had given me this opportunity. I had to give it my best,” Sharma told the Philippine Daily Inquirer.
    Sharma swam for four or five hours a day until he was completely comfortable with the water. He also worked on his body because he had to first gain weight and then quickly lose weight as the story developed. He even had rats run all over him to prepare for his role. Lee was impressed by the teenager, especially his endurance and patience in staying in a water tank for many hours each day. Sharma was only 16 when Lee signed him. After three years of shooting, Sharma said he had matured with Pi’s journey.

    Yasuda is 95 years old. Looking for easier ways to search the Web and send email, he bought Apple’s iPad. The company has sold 3.27 million iPads since they entered the market in April. Although it’s impossible to know with certainty how many seniors (老年人) are buying them, evidence suggests that it’s a hit with seniors.
    The iPad’s intuitive interface (直观界面) makes it attractive to seniors around the world, says Takahiro Miura, a researcher at the University of Tokyou. “The iPad is a good tool for seniors because it’s very easy to use,” he says. “Unlike the PC, it doesn’t require former knowledge.”
    James Cordwell, a researcher in London, says the iPad’s popularity with seniors is helping Apple reach beyond its traditional base of young customers. “The world’s population, especially in developed markets, is getting older. It’s probably a market where Apple has least entered, ” Cordwell says. Senior users are “a key source of growth for them in the future.”
    Seniors make up about 22 percent of the population in Japan. They may prove that seniors are willing to accept the iPad. Besides the customer group under 30, they spend more than any other group in the country, according to a report. Motoo Kitamura, 78, a former gas salesman, bought an iPad to help him communicate with his 2-year-old grandson and prevent him from experiencing some of the mental problems that sometimes come with getting older. “Trying new things like that is good mental exercise,” he says.
    小题1:The underlined part “a hit” in Paragraph 1 probably means ______ .
    A．a sudden attackB．a heavy burdenC．quite popularD．very familiar
    小题2:Which of the following is NOT an advantage of the iPad?
    A．It has intuitive interface.
    B．It is easy to operate.
    C．Beginners can use it without similar experiences.
    D．People can use it as a way to do mental exercise.
    小题3:What can we learn from the text?
    A．People above thirty are Apple’s largest customer group in Japan.
    B．The traditional customers of Apple’s products are usually the young.
    C．Seniors will soon grow into Apple’s largest customer group.
    D．Seniors in Japan are fond of buying latest hi-tech products.
    小题4:What is the text mainly about?
    A. iPad leading Apple to seniors.      
    B. iPad influencing the customer group.
    C. iPad’s arrival causing Japanese to think. 
    D. iPad beating the traditional PC.

    SAN FRANCISCO—A phone app (应用程序) in San Francisco gives information about open parking spots. City officials in San Francisco introduced the app to try to reduce traffic jams in the city, but some say it raises safety concerns.
    In this city, drivers searching for parking spots lead to 30 percent of all downtown jams, city officials think. Now San Francisco has found a solution—a phone app for spot-seekers that displays information about areas with available spaces. The system, introduced last month, relies on wireless sensors (感应器) fixed in streets and city garages that can tell within seconds if a spot has opened up.
    Monique Soltani, a TV reporter, said she and her sister spent 25 minutes on Friday trying to park. “We were praying to the parking god that we’d find a spot,” she said. “If we had the app, we would not have to pray to the parking god.” But the system could come with serious consequences.
    Some people say that drivers searching for parking could end up focusing on their phones, not the road. “It could be really distracting (使分心的),” said Daniel Simons, a professor of psychology at the University of Illinois.
    City officials acknowledge the potential problem. They are urging drivers to pull over before they use the city’s iPhone app, or to do so before they leave home. Nathaniel Ford, executive director of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, said safety could actually improve if drivers quickly found a spot instead of circling and getting frustrated.
    San Francisco has put sensors into 7,000 parking spots and 12,250 spots in city garages. If spaces in an area open up, the sensors communicate wirelessly with computers that in turn make the information available to app users within a minute, said Mr. Ford, of the transportation agency. On the app, a map shows which blocks have lots of places (blue) and which are full (red).
    More than 12,000 people have downloaded San Francisco’s app, which is available now only for the iPhone but which city officials say they hope to bring to all similar devices.
    When it is started up, the city’s parking app warns drivers not to use the system while in motion. But safety advocates said that might not be sufficient. After all, they say, texting while driving is illegal in California and in many states, but a number of surveys, including one by the Pew Research Center, show that many Americans do it anyway.
    Elizabeth Stampe, executive director of Walk San Francisco, a pedestrian advocacy group, said she hoped the new parking app would lead to fewer accidents.
    “It’s an innovative idea,” she said. “The safe way for people to use the device is for them to pull over, which they know they should do. The question is whether they will.”
    But Ms. Soltani, the TV reporter, said using the app would probably join the group of activities already performed by drivers.
    “We’re already looking at Google Maps and Facebook on the phone while we drive,” she said. “Aren’t we always looking at something on our phone, or changing the radio, or drinking coffee? You’re always slightly distracted when you’re driving.”
    小题1:What is the phone app mentioned in the text mainly aimed at?
    A．Making full use of the parking spots.
    B．Making the traffic flow smoothly.
    C．Preventing traffic accidents.
    D．Benefiting iPhone users.
    小题2:According to the text, San Francisco city officials ______.
    A．don’t consider the app distracting
    B．advise drivers to park cars slowly
    C．are aware of the app’s disadvantages
    D．believe more parking spots are needed
    小题3:How do drivers locate the parking spots?
    A．Sensors"computers"app.B．App"computers"sensors.
    C．Sensors"app"computers.D．Computers"app"sensors.
    小题4:The phone app mentioned in the text ______.
    A．is a bit slow in reacting
    B．hasn’t been put into service
    C．was introduced several years ago
    D．can’t be downloaded to all phones
    小题5:Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
    A．Daniel Simons thinks the app convenient.
    B．San Francisco will put more sensors into use.
    C．Most drivers open the app once they start their cars.
    D．Nathaniel Ford doesn’t doubt the practical use of the app.
