She wondered: “What if you could talk to your dog if you were gone?” Working with her father in their garage, the 16-year-old came up with several ideas. Finally, she invented a device that allowed pet owners to video chat with their pets! She calls the

22、 device iCPooch. “The dog doesnt have to answer the call,” explains Brooke. “It comes up immediately on the screen on their end. Its a two-way audio and videoyou can see and hear each other.” With a click of a button you can even send the dog a treat! Her invention has earned her a spot competing ag

34、s rumored to be a hero of the Great War. Gatsby claims to have attended Oxford University, but the evidence is suspect. As Nick learns more about Gatsby, every detail about him seems questionable, except his love for the Daisy. Though Daisy is married, Gatsby still adores her as his “golden girl.” T

Convince us that the first scene is perfectly shot by the director.D Our planet is home to about seven billion people. Since the 1990s, population experts have predicted the number would grow to nine

43、 billion before it begins to slow down and possibly decrease. But a new report predicts the worlds population is likely to increase to almost 11 billion by 2100. Based on the most modern statistical tools, the new report makes use of government records and considers expert predictions, including dea

44、th rates, birthrates and international migration, or people moving across borders. The report says during the rest of this century, Africas population will grow from about 3.5 billion to 5.1 billion over the next 85 yearsJohn is director of the United Nations Population Division. He says that in the

45、 past, researchers thought population growth in Africa would be similar to that of other areas. They expected slower growth rates as birth control use became more widespread. But he says those ideas were wrong. “The level of contraception use has continued to increase but slowly more slowly than exp

46、ected, and birthrate therefore has been falling less rapidly than expected, and the population therefore continues to grow somewhat more rapidly than we expected.” The new findings are based on a joint research project of the United Nations and the University of Washington.The researchers believe th

47、e population of Asia will reach five billion by 2050. That is up from the current 4.4 billion. And then begin to decline. The researchers also believe that North America, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean area will have a total population of below one billion. John says the pressure of feeding

48、 the rising population is likely to be less than that might be expected.“The relatively good news is that the world has been winning the race between population growth and food production. If you look back historically over the last 50 years, certainly for the world as a whole and for many, most ind

49、ividual countries and regions, the increase in food production has outpaced the increase of population.”32. Which area will experience the largest increase in population at the end of the century?A. Asia. B. Africa.C. Europe. D. North America.33. “Contraception use” in the fourth paragraph refers to

50、 _. A. a method of expert predictionsB. a way of avoiding growth in populationC. a joint research into the rising populationD. a potential technology for food production34. Why is the pressure of feeding the rising population less than expected according to John? A. Expert predictions are not exactl

51、y like what the facts happen.B. Birthrates have always been falling less rapidly than we expected.C. The population grows less rapidly than population experts expected. D. The increase in food production has outpaced the increase of population. 35. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The world

52、s population will increase constantly. B. The population of Asia will rise by 5 billion by 2050. C. John is optimistic about feeding the rising population. D. Population growth in Africa was much slower than expected.第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10 分） 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。 How to relax your

56、or a shower, or meditating for even 10 minutes will do wonders to help you relax your mind and get out of the stress zone.Let it all out 39 So calling or meeting up with a person who can listen and empathize with us, is often a great way to relax.
