1. After 30 years【小题1】a pilot, Captain Peter Elliott got to fly holiday-makers on a Thomas Cook flight from Birmingham, UK, to Tenerife, Spain with his daughter.

Senior First Officer Laura Elliott【小题2】(fly) for six years but has never before got to work with her father. “It’s my dream to be able to fly with my Dad,” she said.

It had seemed unlikely that the pair would ever co-pilot【小题3】same aircraft because Miss Elliott learned to fly on Airbus planes when she joined the company in 2009, and her father flew Boeings. However, after Peter Elliott, 59, retrained to fly Airbuses, their dream of flying together came true.

Miss Elliott, 30, became interested in flying when【小题4】(inspire) by her father with a

tr ial flight as her birthday present. Miss Elliott said: “Becoming a pilot was never something I had considered. It was only when my Dad bought me a trial flight for my 18th birthday【小题5】I considered following in my Dad’s footsteps.”

The pair finally sat in the cockpit (驾驶员座舱) together and Mr Elliott made an announcement to passengers【小题6】the flight made it a special day for him as he was flying with his daughter.

Miss Elliott recalled the flight,【小题7】(say), “I was initially nervous and he kept asking 【小题8】I was nervous or not. It was like going for a driving lesson with him. Thankfully, everything went smoothly and the passengers loved it. If it ever happens again, I will definitely be a lot【小题9】(relaxed).”

2. Has the world just witnessed its first ever robot suicide? Boring housework was seemingly too much for one cleaning robot to take, when it apparently rebelled and decided to end it all.

It had reportedly grown tired of【小题2】(force) to clean the house every day and decided to become a martyr(殉道者) to the robot cause.

“Somehow it seems【小题3】(restart) itself again before it made its way along the work surface. Then it pushed a cooking pot out of the way and basically that was the end of it,” explained fireman Helmut Kniewasser, who【小题4】(call) to deal with the fire at Hinterstoder in Kirchdorf. “It pretty quickly started to melt underneath and t hen stuck to the kitchen hotplate. It then caught fire.【小题5】we arrived, it had become just a pile of ash.” He added: “The entire building【小题6】be evacuated (疏散) and there was severe smoke damage particularly in the flat in which the robot had been in use. “It’s a mystery how it came to be started and ended up making its way to the hotplate.”【小题7】took an hour to clean and make the building safe.

Young children may face serious health risks from popular energy drinks, such as Monster, Red Bull and Rock Star,【小题1】causing heart problems and other life-threatening conditions, according to the findings of new researches.

During a presentation at the annual Cardiac Scientific Sessions 2014 meeting of the

American Heart Association (AHA), researchers warned about the risk of allowing young children【小题2】to the energy drinks, which contain high amounts of caffeine(咖啡因) and other stimulants.

Researches【小题3】that the energy drinks are not intended for young children and are not safe for them to consume. Steven Lipshultz, M.D., lead author of the study, is calling for a warning on all energy drink cans and bottles, warning parents of the risk of allowing children to drink them.

Researchers say it is difficult to know exactly how much caffeine is contained in each can or bottle of energy drinks, since they are often【小题4】as dietary supplements (补充物), which allow the manufacturers to avoid FDA regulations.

Energy drink manufacturers have compared the amount of caffeine in their products to that in hot drinks sold in coffee houses, but their products are often packaged in very large sizes and they are not sold in【小题5】environments like coffee houses, which typically would not serve young children. Energy drinks are widely available in【小题6】stores next to traditional soft drinks, typically packaged in very similar cans and using similar marketing techniques.

Some energy drinks in many of the popular lines can contain up to 400 mg of caffeine per can. In comparison, a cup of coffee typically has around 100 mg of caffeine. Caffeine poisoning can occur in adults at levels higher than 400 mg a day; however, children under 12 can【小

题7】caffeine poisoning at only 2.5 mg per 2.2 pounds of body weight.

A study published in September【小题8】up the new findings, revealing energy drinks may cause serious heart problems. French researchers revealed the popular energy drinks may be linked to【小题9】risk of irregular heartbeats and even sudden death.

The FDA is【小题10】investigating health concerns surrounding the drinks after numerous negative event reports have been made in recent years connecting energy drinks to severe injuries and deaths.

5. Warner Brothers has announced more Harry Potter movies are on the way. The studio is working with Potter author J. K. Rowling to create a new franchise (特需经营权) of movies based on “Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them”, which is a fictitious textbook in the Harry Potter world. The story will also follow the adventures of the book’s author, Newt Scamander. Rowling, for the first time, will pen the screenplay.

It comes as no surprise that Warner Brothers is trying to keep the Harry Potter franchise going. The films alone have earned $7.7 billion at the box office. The franchise has probably almost doubled those earnings on home video and TV sales. Then there’s the many Harry Potter products that fans still_____

But at some point, Harry Potter could seem old hat and that’s not something Warner Brothers wants to see happen. So executives had three choices: restart the franchise, come up with continuations or spin off part of the Potter world into a new movie.

Without books to support the new stories, the upcoming movies could be a tougher sell for Warner Brothers. Harry and friends won’t appear at all in the new movies which will be set in New York 70 years before Harry Potter heads to Hogwarts.

The new stories will also net video games, products and enhance Rowling’s website. Here’s Rowling on the upcoming franchise:

It all started when Warner Brothers came to me with the suggestion of turning “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” into a film. I tho ught it was a fun idea, but the idea of seeing Newt Scamander, the supposed author of “Fantastic Beasts”, realized by another writer was difficult. Having lived for so long in my fictional universe, I feel very protective of it and I

already knew a lot about Newt. As Harry Potter fans will know, I liked him so much that I even married his grandson, Rolf, to one of my favourite characters from the Harry Potter series, Luna Lovegood.

As I considered Warners’ proposal, an idea took shape that I couldn’t ge t rid of. That is how I could express my own idea for a film to Warner Brothers.

Although it will be set in the worldwide community of wizards (巫师) where I was so happy for seventeen years, it is neither a previous work nor a continuation to the Harry Potter series, but an extension of the wizarding world. The laws and customs of the hidden magical society will be familiar to anyone who has read the Harry Potter books or seen the films, but Newt’s story will start in New York, seventy years before Harry gets underway. （1）The phrase “snatch up” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “_____”.

A rush to purchase

B give up reluctantly

C make profits from

D take away by force

（2）What made Rowling accept Warner Brothers’ proposal?

A Her eagerness to try writing for the screenplay.

B Her unwillingness to see others write the story.

C The attraction of earning more at the box office.

D The film company’s promise to enhance her website.

（3）It is implied in the passage that creating and selling the new movies may be _____.

A inspiring

B embarrassing

C disappointing

D challenging

（4）What is the passage mainly about?

A Warner Brothers’ expanded partnership with Harry Potter author.

B Warner Brothers’ success and development in Harry Potter series.

C Rowling’s view on the upcoming franchise of Harry Potter movies.

D Rowling’s creative ideas for the cooperation with Warner Brothers.

7. Ask a group of elderly people what it was about their lives that made them happiest overall, and they’ll probably mention some warm relationships with family and friends. If you’re satisfied with your social life, according to psychologists, you tend t o be satisfied with life in general.

From the point of my 50s, I’d say that sounds about right. Some of my happiest moments are the ones I spend with my husband, a few close relatives, and a handful of very good friends who know me well and like me anyway. But the more I read about how social media are interfering with (干扰) good old-fashioned friendship, creating virtual bonds that can’t quite take the place of real ones, the more I wonder just how today’s 20-somethings will look back on their own lives when they’re my age.

After all, much crucial relationship building work is done in the 20s. According to research by the late Bernice Neugarten of the University of Chicago, who helped launch the academic study of human development, people choose most of their adult relationships, both friends and lovers, between the ages of 22 and 28. The friends we make in our 20s are not only best friends forever; they’re also our first truly chosen friends. And choosing how to commit to these friendships is an essential psychological task of the 20s.

But with so much of friendship in this age group now being developed online, an essential question is what the effect of that interaction is. A study, conducted in 2010 by Craig Watkins and Erin Lee of the University of Texas at Austin, investigated the Facebook habits of 776 young people between the ages of 18 and 35. “Whether it is a wall post, a comment, or a photo,” they wrote, “young people’s engagement with Facebook is driven, primarily, by a desire to stay connected to and involved in the lives of friends who live close by, far away, or have just entered into their lives.”

This kind of constant contact can be efficient, but it can also be upsetting. For one thing, it adds a new layer of concern to a young p erson’s already-heightened awareness of social ranking, giving appearance-conscious young people yet another thing to worry about. “I see other 20-somethings feeling pressured to constantly keep up a public image, especially a public image online,” wrote Ariana Allensworth on the group blog. “Folks are always keeping the world informed one way or another about what they’re up to, where they’re at, what projects they’re working on. It can be a bit much at times.” Not the most fertile ground for real-world friendship.

（1）According to the passage, the 20s is an age for people to _____.

A have a good public image

B keep themselves informed

C look back on their own lives

D develop critical relationships

（2）Which of the following is a disadvantage of making friends online?

A It makes people pay less attention to social ranking.

B It robs people of the happy moments spent with friends.

C It keeps people away from their family and close relatives.

D It prevents people from keeping in contact with their friends.

（3）What was the aim of the study conducted by Craig Watkins and Erin Lee?

A To know about the 776 young people’s Facebook habits.

B To find out how social media affect real-world social life.

C To help young people stay connected to the lives of

friends. D To investigate what kind of people prefer online interactions.

（4）The author may agree that _____.

A old-fashioned friendship can help create virtual bonds

B there’s no need for young people to make online friends

C real-world friendship is a better choice for young people

D online friendship is an inevitable trend in the modern world

8. The education system in Finland is about to go through a brand new and fundamental change, despite enjoying the distinction of being one of the best in the world．The education department has decided not to use the long﹣used old method of"teaching by subject．"Instead, the country will now involve the children in helping them learn and question by gradually developing to"teaching by topic", shared Lisa Pohjolainen, who is in charge of youth and adult education in Helsinki﹣the capital city at the forefront of the reform program, "This is going to be a big change in education in Finland that we're just beginning．"

"The education system, though appearing to be new, is quite logical, "explained Pasi Silander, the city's development manager, "What we need now is a different kind of education to prepare people for working life．Young people use quite advanced computers．In the past the banks had lots of bank clerks adding up figures but now that has totally changed．We therefore have to make the changes in education that are necessary for industry and modern society．"

How does Finlandplan to ________ the method of teaching by topic? Evidently overall training and accumulative skill development take up procedure over"lessons．"Those in their late teens are already being engaged in what Finland refers to as"phenomenon teaching"﹣or teaching by topic．For example, "cafeteria services"lessons will include elements of finance, languages （to help serve foreign customers）, writing skills and communication skills．

Students will slowly be taught cross﹣subject topics which would have varying elements of multiple"subjects．"These elements will vary according to the"topic"or"skill"the student is learning．Apart from the same, students will move away from the traditional sitting and evaluation techniques as well．

Students will sit in smaller groups and work collectively （共同地） to solve problems, all the while improving upon their communication skills．They won't be made to sit in rows and asked questions individually to assess their progress．Instead, a group whose joint efforts bring out results faster will be promoted．

The education system needs a thorough examination, owing to the fact that traditional teaching techniques were based on primitive tools that were quite limited in availability and accessibility．With modern world being widely connected, isn't it time the students learned how to step ahead of mere fact﹣based learning, which promotes memory expansion rather than mental development?

（1）．What is the main idea of the passage？________

A Students in Finland won't have to study traditional subjects any longer．

B The classrooms in Finland will resemble conferences where topics are discussed．

C The education system in Finland will experience a great change．

D The present system in Finland has proved to be a success．

（2）．The underlined word "implement" can best be replaced by________．

A carry out．

B work out．

C make out．

D figure out．

（3）．According to the passage，we can see that________．

A those in their early teens are already being engaged in teaching by topic．

B the students will sit in small groups and work individually to solve problems．

C the students will at once be taught cross﹣subject topics．

D teaching by topic will be a big improvement in education in Finland．

（4）．What can we infer from the passage？________

A Teaching evaluation techniques is one of the best in the world．

B Teaching by topic will be practical and effective for people in their working life．

C Teaching by topic can improve communication skills．

D Traditional teaching techniques were quite limited in availability and accessibility．
