20、rived in Canada, they all talked about the two official languages of Canada.

21、of Chinese restaurants, they long for a home-cooked meal.I met some tourists who were trying to realize their childhood dreams of experiencing the life in a developed country.

28、 annoying, especially on a hot sunny day. No, you neednt to install (安裝) an expensive GPS system to keep track of your car. Thats too expensive. You would need to pay a monthly fee to use it. But is there a way to track your vehicle without spending a fortune? Yes, now there is! A California-based c

29、ompany has created a tiny device that works with your smartphone, which could be exactly what youre looking for. What is it ? Its called TrackR. It is a state-of-the-art tracking device the size of a coin. Its changing the way we keep track of the important things in our life. How does it work? Its

30、easy! Install the free TrackR app on your smartphone, connect the app to your device and youre ready to go! Simply attach TrackR to whatever you want to keep an eye on. The entire process of setting it up only takes 5 minutes or less. You can attach it to your keys, briefcase, wallet, your latest te

31、ch gadgets and anything else you dont want to lose. Then use the TrackR app to locate your missing item in seconds. If you forget where you have parked your car, pull out smartphone and open the TrackR app. Tap on the “find device” button on the screen and the app will tell you the exact spot of the

32、 last known location of the TrackR. What else can I do with TrackR? The device is small and unnoticeable enough that you can attach it to your pet.

35、hrough GPS system C. work better after you pay monthly fee D. take good care of your pet at home 61. This passage is mainly developed by _. A. answering questions B. providing statistics C. listing advantages D. making comparisons62. Where is this passage most likely taken from? A. A research report

36、 . B. Website. C. A personal blog. D. A journal.COld Fossil Scientists have found what they think is probably the oldest fossil on Earth, a remnant of life from 3.7 billion years ago when Earth's skies were orange and its oceans green. In an newly melted part of Greenland, Australian scientists

37、found the leftover structure from a community of microbes（微生物）that lived on an ancient seafloor. Based on their analysis of the fossils, the researchers determined that they are 220 million years older than those discovered in Western Australia, which were 3.48 billion years old. The discovery shows

38、 life may have formed quicker and more easily than once thought, about half a billion years after Earth formed. And that may also give hope for life forming elsewhere, such as Mars, said study co-author Martin VanKranendonk of the University of New South Wales and director of the Australian Center f

39、or Astrobiology. "It gives us an idea how our planet evolved and how life gained a foothold," VanKranendonk said. Scientists had thought it would take at least half a billion years for life to form after the molten Earth started to cool a bit, but this shows it could have happened quicker,

40、 he said. That's because the newly found fossil is far too complex to have developed soon after the planet's first life forms, he said. In an outcrop of rocks that used to be covered with ice and snow which melted after an exceptionally warm spring, the Australian team found stromatolites（疊層

41、石）, which are layered structures that are often produced by a community of microbes. The stromatolites were about 1 to 4 centimeters high. "It is like the house left behind made by the microbes, " Vankranendonk said. "Scientists used the layers of ash from volcanos and tiny zircon（鋯石）

42、with uranium and estimated that they date back to 3.7 billion years ago." The dating seems about right, said Abigail Allwood, a NASA astrobiologist who found the previous oldest fossil, from 3.48 billion years ago, in Australia. But Allwood said she is not completely convinced that what Vankran

43、endonk's team found once was alive. She said the evidence wasn't conclusive enough that it was life and not a geologic quirk（地質(zhì)巧合）. "It would be nice to have more evidence, but in these rocks that's a lot to ask," Allwood said in the email.63. The underlined words " gained

44、 a foothold" in Paragraph 3 mean _. A. continued. B. changed C. increased D. started64. We can learn from Paragraph 4 _. A. the fossil appeared soon after the birth of the earth B. the fossil formed soon after the earth's first life C. life formed earlier than the newly found fossil D. life

45、 appeared about half a billion years ago65. What is Abigail Allwood's attitude towards the newly found fossil? A. Neutral. B. Skeptical. C. Objective. D. Supportive 66. According to the passage, _. A. the previous fossils are a geologic quirk B. the previous fossils are made up of stromatolites

46、C. the newly found fossils come from western Australia D. the newly found fossils have a history of 3.7 billion yearsDWhen taking an UberShould you tip or not Taking an Uber car may no longer be a direct driver-passenger and guilt-free experience. The ride-sharing experience is about to get awkward.

47、 With the wide application of the Internet, Uber , a new approach to your destination instead of taking an ordinary taxi , has become more popular recently .However, benefits wont come without its fair share of drawbacks.Uber drivers are a part of the so-called sharing economy: They use their own ve

48、hicles, receive customer reviews via the apps five-star rating system and make their own hours. unlike other services, Uber claimed that drivers all over the country could clearly alert customers that tipping is not included. Those drivers that expect to be tipped can make their wishes known. But th

49、e company is holding to its official no-tip-required line, according to its website. “once you arrive at your destination, your fare is automatically charged to your credit card on fileTheres no need to tip.” Although drivers value their independencethe freedom to push a button rather than punch a c

50、lock , lack of a clear policy ,however , leaves Uber drivers in a vulnerable(脆弱的) position : If they ask a customer for a tip or put up a sign , that customer could give a driver a low star-rating , and the driver could finally be deactivated from the app.But has the company done a good job working

51、with customers? Some observers say that this new grey area for tipping will create awkwardness about whether they should tip or not -something most Uber customers have not had to deal with until now. Uber did not respond to customers comment, just leaving their rating in the air.Providing an option

52、to tip on an app sends a clear message to customers to reach into their pockets. Nearly 30% people would be more likely to leave a tip if they were presented with a “no tip” button, according to Guinns 2015 survey of roughly 500 people. When people are presented with three tip choices -20%, 25% or 3

53、0% -theyre more likely to choose the middle option even if its more than the traditional 20%, according to a separate 2014 analysis of 13 million New York City taxi rides.If the service is twice as expensive during a rain storm or public transport delay, the customer has the right not to tip. Howeve

54、r, if the driver is extra helpful or avoids traffic to reach your destination in a more timely manner, you could give an extra tip, says Uber , who will leave tipping options in the hands of the consumer rather than the app . 67. Compared with taxi drivers, Uber drivers _.A. enjoy more freedom and c

55、hoices B. support the companys practiceC. clock up the miles while drivingD. receive customers reviews directly68. The underlined word “deactivated in paragraph 4 probably means _.A. removed B. degraded C. tracked D. charged69. From the survey we can conclude most customers_.A. would probably tip if

56、 there is an optionB. usually do as the “no tip” sign suggestsC. tip because of Uber drivers good serviceD. are disappointed to reach into their pockets70. What causes the awkwardness between Uber drivers and their customers ?A. Customers take advantage of the new grey area for tipping .B. There is no specific policy from the Uber to follow.C. Its up to customers to decide the drivers earnings D. customers tend to pay least among the 3 choices.第2節(jié) （共5小題；每小題2分，共10分）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的七個選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。Giant Panda Is No Longer EndangeredA leading international
