Whether you’re brand new to hiking or looking to discover your next favorite trail (路线), hiking apps might be the tool to help you get there. Take a look at the list below and choose one that meets your needs.
1．G-GPS
G-GPS is one of the most popular navigation (导航) tools designed for remote mountainous areas. For some hikers, dependable maps and an easily searchable trail database are a must for a hiking app. G-GPS has both, which makes it a great option for beginners and expert hikers alike. It provides data like pace, distance and increased height. Moreover, it works fine when you’re offline and without cell service.
If you’re a fan of cold-temperature hiking, this app’s paid version ($40) has a winter map choice that displays features to help navigate in snowy weather.
2．P-Finder
Many hikers tend to have the experience of standing on a peak, looking at another mountain and wondering “What peak is that ”
If you’d like to avoid the problem, P-Finder might be the app for you. It takes the guesswork out of your exploration, thanks to its unique offering: a 360° view of mountain peaks and their names from your current location, requiring no Internet connection. Plus, all levels of hikers can use it, especially for finding new peaks to hike.
Added bonus: The app has some practical functions, which allow you to take some breathtaking shots and then automatically (自动地) label each peak with its correct name.
You can buy the app for $5 on its official website.
3．N-Land
N-Land Digital is a Canadian nonprofit that helps expert hikers to learn more about their local history and the Indigenous territories (土著领地).
By entering your address, a number of links will appear with the names of different Indigenous nations. Clicking on those links, you will be taken to a page specifically about that nation, language, or treaty, where you can view some sources, give feedback, and learn a little more. You can even do this if you’re offline. This app is an ongoing project, and maps of new territories are regularly added.
You’ll likely want to use this app together with another app such as A-Trails or V-Ranger, if you’re also seeking navigational help.

One day, a college student was taking a walk with a professor. As they went along, they saw a pair of old shoes lying in the path. They supposed the shoes belonged to a poor man who was employed in a field close by and who had nearly finished his day’s work.
The student turned to the professor, saying, “Let’s play a trick on him: we can hide his shoes, and hide ourselves behind those bushes, and wait to see his confusion when he cannot find them”.
“My young friend,” answered the professor, “we should never amuse ourselves at the expense of the poor. But you are rich, and may give yourself much greater pleasure by helping the poor man. Put a coin into each shoe, and then we hide ourselves and watch how the discovery will affect him.”
The student did so, and they both placed themselves behind the bushes close by. The poor man soon finished his work, and walked across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes. While putting on his coat he slipped his foot into one of his shoes, feeling something hard. He bent down to feel what it was, and found the coin. Astonishment and wonder were seen on his face.
He fixed his eyes on the coin, turned it round, and looked at it again and again. He then looked on all sides, but no person was seen. He put the money into his pocket, and continued to put on the other shoe, but his surprise was doubled on finding the other coin. His feelings overcame him. He fell upon his knees, looked up to heaven and cried a sincere thanksgiving, in which he spoke of his wife, sick and helpless, and his children without bread. He said the timely help, from some unknown hand, would save them from dying.
The student stood there, deeply affected, and his eyes filled with tears. “Now,” said the professor, “aren’t you much more pleased to do that than to play your intended trick ”
The student replied, “You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget.”
24. The student wanted to play a trick on the poor man to ______.

As online technology advanced, web sites, podcasts, and blogs became powerful sources of information that allowed everyone to stay updated on any subject imaginable. Although all of these information sources remain popular, there's a new king of media and it's online video.
There are many reasons why online video has increased suddenly over the past few years. The first is increasing data speeds. It wasn't until recently that people everywhere had fast enough online connections to enjoy high-definition （高清）videos. However, once faster Internet speeds were provided, people quickly fell in love with online videos. The second reason why online videos have become so popular is convenience. Watching videos requires less effort and energy than reading through paragraphs of text after a day of hard work. Videos also seem to provide more satisfaction, as people prefer to connect with people they can hear and see, as against the words of some author whom they know little about.
Advancing digital technology has also helped, as it has made sharing videos easier and more convenient than ever. High-powered smartphones and more affordable video cameras allow anyone to easily record an event or give a few comments about a scorching topic that is on their mind. Meanwhile, sites like YouTube, Vimeo, and Ustream allow users to quickly upload their videos and share them with friends, family, and the general public if they wish.
Last but not least, panies have made it easy for people to get rewarded for creating popular videos. Some people with large enough fan bases can even make a very wealthy living by uploading a few videos every week.
The future also looks bright for companies who post online video ads. In fact new software allows them to watch viewers' emotional reactions to their content through the users' webcams （网络摄像机）.They'll be able to see whether users laugh, cry, or feel bored during videos, so they can adjust their ads. This should prove extremely helpful, as there will be millions of videos competing for viewers' attention.
28. Why do some people prefer watching videos to reading after work
A. It helps them review the news.
B. It helps them get information with relative ease.
C. It provides them more information.
D. It helps them save time.
29. What does the underlined word "scorching" in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Unusual. B. Future. C. Hot. D. Social.
30. How will the software mentioned in the last paragraph help companies in the future
A. It will enable them to better understand what customers enjoy.
B. It will let more viewers see the advertisements they make.
C. It will cause viewers to create more popular videos.
D. It will make people like their videos.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Online Video: The New King of Media
B. Online Technology is Developing Fast
C. Online Video: A New Advertising Trend
D. Online Technology is Closely Related to People
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了网络视频这个媒体新王者，以及网络视频受欢迎的原因。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Watching videos requires less effort and energy than reading through paragraphs of text after a day of hard work.（在一天的辛苦工作后，看视频比阅读一段一段的文本需要更少的精力和能量。）”可知，观看视频比阅读文字要轻松，人们经过一天的疲惫工作后，更愿意观看网络视频，即有些人下班后更喜欢看视频而不是阅读是因为它帮助他们相对容易地获得信息。故选B项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在的句子“High-powered smartphones and more affordable video cameras allow anyone to easily record an event or give a few comments about a scorching topic that is on their mind.（高性能的智能手机和更实惠的摄像头让任何人都可以轻松地记录下一个事件，或者对他们心中的scorching话题发表一些评论。）”可知，人们对某个话题很关心并想要发表评论，说明这话题很热门，“scorching”是热门的意思。故选C项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“In fact, new software allows them to watch viewers' emotional reactions to their content through the users' webcams.（事实上，新软件允许他们通过用户的网络摄像头观察观众对其内容的情绪反应。）”和“so they can adjust their ads.（所以他们可以调整他们的广告。）”可知，新的软件可以利用用户的网络摄像头监控访问者对视频内容的反馈情况，公司可以更加精准地知道人们的喜好，制作出更有竞争力的视频。故选A项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段“Although all of these information sources remain popular, there's a new king of media and it's online video.（尽管所有这些信息来源仍然很受欢迎，但有一个新的媒体之王，那就是网络视频。）”指出网络视频是新媒体中的佼佼者，后面几段又给出了网络视频受欢迎的原因，所以整篇文章都介绍了网络视频这个媒体中的新王者，A选项“网络视频：新媒体之王”最适合作文章标题。故选A项。

As computers become all the more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly relying on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes（笔画） of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.
Do you write by hand more or type more In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more widespread among university students. Almost all their assignments and essays are typed on a computer.
All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.
It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that’s why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.
“When I’m writing with a pen, I find I often can’t remember how to write a character, though I feel I’m familiar with it.”
“I’m not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”
Many students don’t feel this is something to worry about. Now that it’s more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite
Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said, “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic（审美的） value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only keep their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer’s emotion. Through one’s handwriting, people can get to know one’s thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”
To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory（必修的） and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.
32. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage
A. To Type or To Handwrite

C. The Importance of Handwriting and Typing
D. Writing by Computer Will Replace Writing by Hand
33. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage
A. Students think typing is more efficient.
B. Handwriting contains the writer’s emotion.
C. A lot of Chinese people don’t write Chinese characters.
D. The writer’s thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting.
34. The underlined expression “taking stock in” in Paragraph 4 probably means ______.
A. getting bored with B. getting dependent on
C. becoming crazy about D. becoming afraid of
35. We can draw the conclusion from the passage that ______.
A. writing by hand will give way to typing by computer one day
B. the typed article better expresses one’s emotion and quality
C. more and more students will give up writing on a computer
D. more and more students will pay attention to handwriting
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为说明文。随着电脑在中国越来越普及，中国人越来越依赖电脑键盘输入汉字。如果他们过度使用电脑，他们最终可能会忘记在纸上写字时每个汉字的准确笔画。专家建议人们，尤其是学生，多用手写。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的最后两句“But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes（笔画）of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.(但是如果他们使用电脑太多，当他们在纸上写字时，他们可能会忘记每个汉字的准确笔画。专家建议人们，尤其是学生，多用手写。)”和第二段的第一句“Do you write by hand more or type more (你手写的多还是打字的多？)”结合全文内容可知，文章围绕话题“我们学生应该依靠电脑还是应该手写作业”展开的。A项“To Type or To Handwrite (打字或手写)”适合作为文章标题。故选A项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes（笔画） of each Chinese character when writing on paper.（ 但是，如果他们使用电脑太多，他们可能会忘记在纸上写字时每个汉字的准确笔画。）”可知，许多中国人可能会忘记了在纸上写字时每个汉字的准确笔画，而不是不写汉字，C项表述错误。故选C项。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。从后文““When I’m writing with a pen, I find I often can’t remember how to write a character, though I feel I’m familiar with it.”(当我用笔写字的时候，我发现我经常不记得怎么写一个字，尽管我觉得我很熟悉它。)”可知，学生们过度依赖电脑打字，以至于都不记得如何去写某些汉字了。由此推知，划线词组taking stock in的意思为“相信；依靠”。故选B项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段“To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory (必修的) and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.(为了鼓励学生多写手写体，北京的许多小学都开设了手写体必修课。在大学里，一些教授要求学生上交手写体的作业和论文。)”可知，今后越来越多的学生会重视书写。故选D项。

Facebook Is a Big Waster
During the first decade of the 21st century, a popular and new word has come into our vocabulary—Facebook. This is the most popular social networking website on the Internet. The main idea of Facebook is that you can keep in touch with all your friends around the world who have Facebook. You can send messages to your friend’s electronic wall, put up a status saying something like “Going to the mall, I need to get a new pair of shoes” or “it’s finally the weekend!”
In spite of the benefit it does on common people, it is true that this social network is a big waster. There are about 350 million active users on this website and 67% of them are between the ages of 13-25. More than 35 million users update their status every day. ___36___
The highest age group who use Facebook are teenagers. Most of them keep the website running whenever they are using the computer. if they aren’t in school or when they aren’t asleep. Facebook is just changing the new generation of youngsters unconsciously. The teenage life is one of the most important stages of life. ___37___ It is a distraction (分心，注意力分散) to their mind as well. Nowadays, when all their homework and research are on ICT (信息技术) they would easily switch to Facebook just to check if there was anything updated among their friends.
Facebook is also where people can see the gossip among their friends, virtual arguments, relationship status and updates, who is in whose “top friends”, you can become fan of anything, join groups, post pictures and videos, play childish games, invite friends to parties or events and a lot more. Generally, all these would just disturb (扰乱；妨碍) people into living life to the fullest. It’s not just teens who become addicted, even grown-ups do. An average person spends about 55 minutes on Facebook. ___38___ Technology might be taking over people’s life. Furthermore, people who use Facebook through their mobile phones are 50% more active on Facebook than non-mobile phone users. This shows people using Facebook on their phone s as well as computers just can’t stand being away from the website. Facebook is like crack to some folk.
___39___ This would make them think how life is like without saying what’s on their mind to all their friends on the Internet. A break would also make them more active, like socializing in person. This would finally help them focus better in school or in work. Although about 80% of people who take a break would come back to Facebook within days.
A. And 2.5 billion photos are added each month.
B. Wasting it on Facebook is not encouraging in any way.
C. As a result, the average Facebook users have 130 friends who they share links with.
D. This statistic isn’t that bad but some people spend about 3-5 hours.
E. It is time people should take a break from Facebook once in a while.
【答案】36. A 37. B 38. D 39. E

【38题详解】

【39题详解】
根据空后“This would make them think how life is like without saying what’s on their mind to all their friends on the Internet. A break would also make them more active, like socializing in person.(这可以让他们思考，如果不与网上的朋友分享心理想的事情时，生活会是什么样的。休息也会让他们变得更积极，比如说更积极地去面对面交流)”可知，空后提出了不上网的好处，故此空E项“人们应该从Facebook上休息一下了”符合，本空提出应该休息，空后说明休息的好处，故选E项。

ROSS TOWNSHIP, OHIO—Some Ohio high school students are regional winners in a national contest after inventing a mobile device app that helps needy families find local food pantries (食品储藏室).
And someday the teens, who are students at Ross High School in Ross Township, may be selling the app to food pantries and food banks across America.
Their “Smart-Pantry” app has won the local U. S. Congressional App Challenge, which spans 47 states and territories, for the 8th Congressional District that includes their Butler County school system of Ross Schools.
Created as part of computer science class coordinated by Butler Tech career school system at the high school—three students, Jacob Kahmann, Gunner Nonnamber and Kyle Inderhees, recently were visited by Congressman Warren Davidson, R-Troy. Davidson issued a statement praising the teens for creating “this app to set the standard for efficient food collection and distribution.”
Butler Tech IT Instructor Tom O’Neill said the students’ app includes features that help users locate the nearest food pantry, improve food collection procedures and allows pantries to better monitor for fraud (欺骗) by users, and the national challenge provides a real-life learning opportunity for his students.
“The Congressional App Challenge provides my students with an opportunity to develop solutions to real-world problems. This app helps people locate food pantries and is designed to increase efficiency at food pantries and food banks,” said O’Neill.
The students are continuing to add features to the app and are working on turning it into a commercial product, said O’Neill, who in recent years helped numerous Ross High School teens win national honors for their computer-science-based inventions.
Brian Martin, principal of Ross High School, said it’s “extremely exciting” to watch students excel on the state, national and international stages.
“The staff and students in the Ross school district continue to amaze me with their future-thinking and innovation,” said Brian Martin. “Our students are not only thinking about carecrs, they are thinking about problems and issues they want to change, solve or improve. The app that was created is very unique and will make serving a population in need more efficient.”
The three inventors will be invited in the spring to a Congressional App Challenge hosted by Congress in the nation’s capital.
48. According to Davidson, what can the app be used to do （不多于10个单词）
_________________________________________________________________
49. How did Brain Martin feel about what the staff and students did （不多于5个单词）
_________________________________________________________________
50. What is the main idea of the passage （不多于9个单词）
_________________________________________________________________
51. What kind of app would you like to design to solve a real-world problem （单词数不限）

【答案】48. To set the standard for efficient food collection and distribution.
49. Excited and amazed.
50. Three students invented an app to help needy problems.
51. I want to design an app for the blind that senses traffic lights through vibrations.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了美国俄亥俄州的高中生发明了一款手机应用软件，帮助有需要的人快速找到附近的公益食品仓库。
【48题详解】
考查细节理解题。根据第四段“Davidson issued a statement praising the teens for creating “this app to set the standard for efficient food collection and distribution.””（戴维森发表了一份声明，称赞这些青少年创造了“这个应用程序，为有效的食物收集和分配设定了标准。”）可知，这个应用程序，为有效的食物收集和分配设定了标准。故回答为：To set the standard for efficient food collection and distribution.
【49题详解】
考查推理判断题。根据第九段“The staff and students in the Ross school district continue to amaze me with their future-thinking and innovation,” said Brian Martin. “Our students are not only thinking about carecrs, they are thinking about problems and issues they want to change, solve or improve. The app that was created is very unique and will make serving a population in need more efficient.””（布莱恩·马丁说:“罗斯学区的教职员工和学生们对未来的思考和创新不断让我惊叹。”“我们的学生不仅在考虑护理人员，他们还在考虑他们想要改变、解决或改善的问题和问题。这款应用程序非常独特，将更有效地为有需要的人群提供服务。）可知，布莱恩·马丁是兴奋的惊讶的。故回答为：Excited and amazed。
【50题详解】

第三部分 阅读理解（共二节，38分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Whether you’re brand new to hiking or looking to discover your next favorite trail (路线), hiking apps might be the tool to help you get there. Take a look at the list below and choose one that meets your needs.
1．G-GPS
G-GPS is one of the most popular navigation (导航) tools designed for remote mountainous areas. For some hikers, dependable maps and an easily searchable trail database are a must for a hiking app. G-GPS has both, which makes it a great option for beginners and expert hikers alike. It provides data like pace, distance and increased height. Moreover, it works fine when you’re offline and without cell service.
If you’re a fan of cold-temperature hiking, this app’s paid version ($40) has a winter map choice that displays features to help navigate in snowy weather.
2．P-Finder
Many hikers tend to have the experience of standing on a peak, looking at another mountain and wondering “What peak is that ”
If you’d like to avoid the problem, P-Finder might be the app for you. It takes the guesswork out of your exploration, thanks to its unique offering: a 360° view of mountain peaks and their names from your current location, requiring no Internet connection. Plus, all levels of hikers can use it, especially for finding new peaks to hike.
Added bonus: The app has some practical functions, which allow you to take some breathtaking shots and then automatically (自动地) label each peak with its correct name.
You can buy the app for $5 on its official website.
3．N-Land
N-Land Digital is a Canadian nonprofit that helps expert hikers to learn more about their local history and the Indigenous territories (土著领地).
By entering your address, a number of links will appear with the names of different Indigenous nations. Clicking on those links, you will be taken to a page specifically about that nation, language, or treaty, where you can view some sources, give feedback, and learn a little more.

One day, a college student was taking a walk with a professor. As they went along, they saw a pair of old shoes lying in the path. They supposed the shoes belonged to a poor man who was employed in a field close by and who had nearly finished his day’s work.
The student turned to the professor saying, “Let’s play a trick on him: we can hide his shoes, and hide ourselves behind those bushes, and wait to see his confusion when he cannot find them”.
“My young friend,” answered the professor, “we should never amuse ourselves at the expense of the poor. But you are rich, and may give yourself much greater pleasure by helping the poor man. Put a coin into each shoe, and then we hide ourselves and watch how the discovery will affect him.”
The student did so, and they both placed themselves behind the bushes close by. The poor man soon finished his work, and walked across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes. While putting on his coat he slipped his foot into one of his shoes, feeling something hard. He bent down to feel what it was, and found the coin. Astonishment and wonder were seen on his face.
He fixed his eyes on the coin, turned it round, and looked at it again and again. He then looked on all sides, but no person was seen. He put the money into his pocket, and continued to put on the other shoe, but his surprise was doubled on finding the other coin. His feelings overcame him. He fell upon his knees, looked up to heaven and cried a sincere thanksgiving, in which he spoke of his wife, sick and helpless, and his children without bread. He said the timely help, from some unknown hand, would save them from dying.
The student stood there, deeply affected, and his eyes filled with tears. “Now,” said the professor, “aren’t you much more pleased to do that than to play your intended trick ”
The student replied, “You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget.”

As online technology advanced, web sites, podcasts, and blogs became powerful sources of information that allowed everyone to stay updated on any subject imaginable. Although all of these information sources remain popular, there's a new king of media and it's online video.
There are many reasons why online video has increased suddenly over the past few years. The first is increasing data speeds. It wasn't until recently that people everywhere had fast enough online connections to enjoy high-definition （高清）videos. However, once faster Internet speeds were provided, people quickly fell in love with online videos. The second reason why online videos have become so popular is convenience. Watching videos requires less effort and energy than reading through paragraphs of text after a day of hard work. Videos also seem to provide more satisfaction, as people prefer to connect with people they can hear and see, as against the words of some author whom they know little about.
Advancing digital technology has also helped, as it has made sharing videos easier and more convenient than ever. High-powered smartphones and more affordable video cameras allow anyone to easily record an event or give a few comments about a scorching topic that is on their mind. Meanwhile, sites like YouTube, Vimeo, and Ustream allow users to quickly upload their videos and share them with friends, family, and the general public if they wish.
Last but not least, panies have made it easy for people to get rewarded for creating popular videos. Some people with large enough fan bases can even make a very wealthy living by uploading a few videos every week.
The future also looks bright for companies who post online video ads. In fact, new software allows them to watch viewers' emotional reactions to their content through the users' webcams （网络摄像机）.They'll be able to see whether users laugh, cry, or feel bored during videos, so they can adjust their ads. This should prove extremely helpful, as there will be millions of videos competing for viewers' attention.
28. Why do some people prefer watching videos to reading after work
A. It helps them review the news.
B. It helps them get information with relative ease.
C. It provides them more information.
D. It helps them save time.
29. What does the underlined word "scorching" in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Unusual. B. Future. C. Hot. D. Social.
30. How will the software mentioned in the last paragraph help companies in the future
A. It will enable them to better understand what customers enjoy.
B. It will let more viewers see the advertisements they make.
C. It will cause viewers to create more popular videos.
D. It will make people like their videos.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Online Video: The New King of Media
B. Online Technology is Developing Fast
C. Online Video: A New Advertising Trend
D. Online Technology is Closely Related to People
D
As computers become all the more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly relying on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes（笔画） of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.
Do you write by hand more or type more In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more widespread among university students. Almost all their assignments and essays are typed on a computer.
All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.
It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that’s why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.
“When I’m writing with a pen, I find I often can’t remember how to write a character, though I feel I’m familiar with it.”
“I’m not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”
Many students don’t feel this is something to worry about. Now that it’s more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite
Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said, “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic（审美的） value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only keep their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer’s emotion. Through one’s handwriting, people can get to know one’s thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”
To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory（必修的） and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.
32. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage
A. To Type or To Handwrite
B. The Value of Chinese Characters
C. The Importance of Handwriting and Typing
D. Writing by Computer Will Replace Writing by Hand
33. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage
A. Students think typing is more efficient.
B. Handwriting contains the writer’s emotion.
C. A lot of Chinese people don’t write Chinese characters.
D. The writer’s thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting.
34. The underlined expression “taking stock in” in Paragraph 4 probably means ______.
A. getting bored with B. getting dependent on
C. becoming crazy about D. becoming afraid of
35. We can draw the conclusion from the passage that ______.
A. writing by hand will give way to typing by computer one day
B. the typed article better expresses one’s emotion and quality
C. more and more students will give up writing on a computer
D. more and more students will pay attention to handwriting

During the first decade of the 21st century, a popular and new word has come into our vocabulary—Facebook. This is the most popular social networking website on the Internet. The main idea of Facebook is that you can keep in touch with all your friends around the world who have Facebook. You can send messages to your friend’s electronic wall, put up a status saying something like “Going to the mall, I need to get a new pair of shoes” or “it’s finally the weekend!”
In spite of the benefit it does on common people, it is true that this social network is a big waster. There are about 350 million active users on this website and 67% of them are between the ages of 13-25. More than 35 million users update their status every day. ___36___

ROSS TOWNSHIP, OHIO—Some Ohio high school students are regional winners in a national contest after inventing a mobile device app that helps needy families find local food pantries (食品储藏室).
And someday the teens, who are students at Ross High School in Ross Township, may be selling the app to food pantries and food banks across America.
Their “Smart-Pantry” app has won the local U. S. Congressional App Challenge, which spans 47 states and territories, for the 8th Congressional District that includes their Butler County school system of Ross Schools.
Created as part of computer science class coordinated by Butler Tech career school system at the high school—three students, Jacob Kahmann, Gunner Nonnamber and Kyle Inderhees, recently were visited by Congressman Warren Davidson, R-Troy. Davidson issued a statement praising the teens for creating “this app to set the standard for efficient food collection and distribution.”
Butler Tech IT Instructor Tom O’Neill said the students’ app includes features that help users locate the nearest food pantry, improve food collection procedures and allows pantries to better monitor for fraud (欺骗) by users, and the national challenge provides a real-life learning opportunity for his students.
“The Congressional App Challenge provides my students with an opportunity to develop solutions to real-world problems. This app helps people locate food pantries and is designed to increase efficiency at food pantries and food banks,” said O’Neill.
The students are continuing to add features to the app and are working on turning it into a commercial product, said O’Neill, who in recent years helped numerous Ross High School teens win national honors for their computer-science-based inventions.
Brian Martin, principal of Ross High School, said it’s “extremely exciting” to watch students excel on the state, national and international stages.
“The staff and students in the Ross school district continue to amaze me with their future-thinking and innovation,” said Brian Martin. “Our students are not only thinking about carecrs, they are thinking about problems and issues they want to change, solve or improve. The app that was created is very unique and will make serving a population in need more efficient.”
The three inventors will be invited in the spring to a Congressional App Challenge hosted by Congress in the nation’s capital.
48. According to Davidson, what can the app be used to do （不多于10个单词）
_________________________________________________________________
49. How did Brain Martin feel about what the staff and students did （不多于5个单词）
