Today, we have navigational(导航的) systems to help us find our way, the latest of which is the Beidou Navigation Satellite System (BDS). The BDS is
10、 entirely built by Chinese engineers. With the launch of the last satellite from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center on June 23, the global network of 59 satellites has been completed. On July 31, Beidou started providing services covering our whole planet. Its difficult to imagine the great influen
11、ce those satellites have on our daily lives. When you unlock one of Hellobikes bicycles, you are using the BDS. “The intelligent lock on each bike receives Beidou satellite signals and sends positioning information to the data center which will help collect big data on the bikes and predict users ri
12、ding needs in advance according to the data,” Chu Yiqun, a manager of Hellobike mentioned. Users can also find shared bikes more accurately(精确地) thanks to Beidous global positioning accuracy of 2.34 meters. Beidou adopts a unique two-way communication system, including its ability to receive message
13、s sent by people from areas with poor communication signals. Obviously this function isnt designed for users to chat online. Instead, it plays a role when disasters occur and communications are blocked. After the Wenchuan Earthquake in 2008, all ground-based communication facilities were interrupted
14、. Though the first generation of Beidou could only send 120 characters in a single message at that time, communication between affected areas and rescue(救援) centers was successful. Now, Beidous messaging ability has been increased to 1, 200 Chinese characters in a single message. It is widely used i
15、n disaster alarms, automatic identification and information release. As Sun Jiadong, former chief designer of the BDS said: “The application(应用) of Beidou is only limited by imagination.” 1.What can we learn about the BDS from the passage? A.It was developed by Chinese and American engineers. B.It w
16、orks better on clear nights. C.Its last satellite was launched on July 31. D.Its able to provide global coverage for navigation. 2.Why does the author mention Hellobike in Paragraph 3? A.To stress the excellent positioning ability of the BDS. B.To show how the BDS makes peoples daily lives easier. C
17、.To present the advantages and disadvantages of the BDS. D.To explain how the BDS works. 3.What is Beidous two-way communication system designed for? A.To help people when communication signals are poor. B.To make users daily communication more fun. C.To allow users to chat online more freely. D.To
18、collect data from users for the data center. 4.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean? A.Beidou may be more helpful than we know. B.Beidou inspires users imagination. C.Beidou needs to be further improved. D.Beidou is limited in application. 二、七选五 One of my earliest memories wa
19、s watching my mom talk on our old phone. I was fascinated that she could talk to someone who wasnt actually in the room with her. _1_ I was wondering how she managed to talk with someone she couldnt see. That was a long time ago. Later, we had mobile phones that could be carried around the room. _2_
20、 These days I can send an e-mail around the world in a second. My daughters smart phone has a hundred apps and a dozen social media accounts. She stores all of her information in a mysterious place known as the cloud disk, where she can take it out at any time. It seems that we are more connected in
21、 this world than ever before. _3_ Few spend time talking face to face. Instead of looking into the eyes of our loved ones, we store their photos at our screens. It seems that the most connected generations are also the loneliest. Dont let technology take our time and ruin our life. Make the time to
22、communicate with each other. Take a walk on the beach with a friend. Have a long conversation with the phones off and the hearts on. _4_ Remember that we are here to love each other, help each other and make this world a better place. _5_ But when it cant, turn it off.

E.When your communication equipment can help to do these things, then use it. F.However, what bothers me is that we rarely associate with eac
24、h other nowadays. G.When she left the room, I slowly walked over to the phone and stared at it for a while. 三、完形填空 Technology is amazing and it is like a river.

In my years of using computers and technology I have found them to be 5 . I may want to do something on a computer. 6 , I could find my way bl
26、ocked. So I 7 for a little bit, pool my resources, and if I use a search engine, a way can present itself for me to 8 my final goal. These days it seems to be even easier to do this. If I wanted to communicate with someone there used to be 9 two ways to contact them: the telephone and snail mail. No
27、w, 10 the Internet and smart phones, I can count off the top of my head at least five ways I can contact a person and talk to them. The same 11 for sending files. A little while ago, a contact wanted me to send her a file. That file was on my computer and I was out on the road. I wanted to send her
28、that file but I had no 12 to my computer. Or did I? I connected my phone to my computer 13 and downloaded the file to my phone.

Or ever wondered why old people have _1_(big) ears than they used to? The winners of Ig Nobel Prizes(搞笑诺贝尔奖) have got the answer

Winners acceptance _5_ (speech) are limited to 60 seconds, _6_ (strict) monitored by an eight-year-old girl.
33、The honoured research might seem ridiculous _7_ first sight, but that doesnt mean it lacks scientific value.

34、thing from the design of highways and bridges _8_ the engineering of nanotubes. And a follow-up paper _9_ (publish) by MIT physicists several years later. But people are more likely to read about the broken spaghetti than to read an academic paper. Even when there is no immediate usefulness, _10_ is
35、 still good to encourage people to observe and think. 五、读后续写 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。 When Jayce Crowder was in kindergarten, he began noticing that he looked different from his classmates.

Instead, they rode bikes around the schools hallways, took photos, and played basketball together. Trashaun taught Jayce how to slam dunks, even giving him a basketball as
44、 a gift. He told Jayce he was perfect the way he looked. He encouraged him not to let anyone drag him down and shake his confidence.
