A smart phone’s low battery warning is the only warning that most people take seriously. Try the following steps and you will improve your battery life.

1. Let there be less light

For larger smart phones, the longer the screen is on and the brighter it is, the faster your battery goes. Try making the screen as dark as you can bear it and still read a text. Darkening the screen is common among teenagers, but it may be hard for Mom and Dad to see what’s showing on their phone.

2. Turn off the signals

Your smart phone does a lot of communicating in the background. They’re checking for things like new emails, text messages, Wi-Fi signals, Bluetooth signals, your location and more. These activities do drain your battery life, so you should turn off whatever you aren’t using. Location Services is also another feature that burns up your battery, so you can use GPS and Wi-Fi to find out which apps have access to Location Services and turn them off.

3. Turn off notifications (通告)

Another way to improve battery life is to stop the constant flow of notifications and updates from Facebook, email, games and sites. Your phone will automatically pick up these notifications when it’s connected to the Internet, and they can have a noticeable impact on battery life.

4. Use battery saving mode (模式)

For a quick way to improve your battery, simply put your smart phone in Airplane Mode. If Airplane Mode is too limiting, some phones have a specific battery saver mode. This shuts down unimportant functions and apps like Wi-Fi, some updates and more.

If used properly, these tips above will improve your battery life up to 30 percent.

21．The underlined word “drain” means “ ”.

1. light up B. use up C. pick up D. make up

22．If you want to improve your battery life, you are advised to use a .

1. small screen B. large screen C. bright screen D. round screen

23．We can infer that aged people tend to .

1. email family members B. use Location Services

C. darken the screen D. brighten the screen

24．We can learn that Airplane Mode can .

1. improve signals B. waste energy C. affect health D. save power

B

One in four Britons would not trust their neighbors to take delivery of a parcel and 10 per cent suspect them of having stolen a parcel in the past, a survey has found.

A study of 2,000 shows that barely half of people know who their neighbors are. A majority would never ask their neighbors to look after such things as keys (68 percent), pets (89 percent) while they were out and even taking in parcels is taking trust too far for more than a third of us (35 percent), according to research for InPost UK.

One in ten (11 percent) have had parcels taken by a neighbor or from right outside their house. When it comes to deliveries, almost a quarter (26 percent) have gone into work late or have left early to wait in for a parcel. This gives rise to people queuing in the Post Office more than 20 minutes to pick up or send a parcel.

As a result, shoppers are looking for more convenience this Christmas. While 83 percent will still get gifts sent to their home, one in five (19 percent) will have parcels delivered to their office and 33 percent will click and collect in store or from a nearby shop.

In addition, almost two thirds of online shoppers (64 percent) are considering using parcel lockers because they provide a local 24/7 service.

Jonathan Smith, chairman at InPost UK, said: “It’s surprising that people don’t trust those closest to them to help them out and to see that missed deliveries are still such an issue, especially as we head into the peak shopping period.”

25．What’s the problem of British delivery parcels?

1. They are always stolen by strangers.
2. Some missing parcels are suspected to be taken by neighbors.
3. Most of the parcels have to be picked up in the post office.
4. Deliveries almost cause 50% going into work late or leaving early.

26．According to the passage, we can learn that .

1. merely half of people know their neighbors
2. only one in four Britons trust their neighbors to take delivery of a parcel
3. a majority would ask their neighbors to look after their pets
4. two thirds of online shoppers still get their parcels sent to their home

27．What’s the attitude of Jonathan Smith towards the issue?

1. Unexpected. B. Critical. C. Overstate. D. Optimistic.

28．What’s the best title for the passage?

1. The delivery problem in Britain
2. How can we trust each other
3. The trust crisis（危机） in neighborhoods in Britain
4. The way to improve delivery

C

A single 10-second kiss can transfer as many as 80 million bacteria, according to Dutch scientists.

They monitored the kissing behavior of 21 couples and found those who kissed nine times a day were most likely to share salivary bugs (唾液细菌).

Studies suggest the mouth is home to more than 700 different types of bacteria – but the report reveals some are exchanged more easily than others.

The research is published in the journal Microbiome(微生物组). A team from the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) asked the couples a series of questions to assess their kissing habits, including how frequently they had kissed in the last year and when they last locked lips.

Scientists took bacterial samples from the volunteers’ tongues and saliva before and after a strictly timed 10-second kiss. One member of the couples then drank a probiotic (益生菌) drink, containing an easily identifiable mixture of bugs. On the couple’s second kiss, scientists were able to detect the volume of bacteria transferred to the other partner – on average 80 million bacteria in a single 10-second kiss. But while bacteria in the saliva seemed to change quickly in response to a kiss, bug populations on the tongue remained more stable.

Prof Remco Kort, who led the research, said: “French kissing is a great example of exposure to a gigantic（巨大的）number of bacteria in a short time.”

“These types of investigations may help us design future bacterial therapies and help people with troublesome bacterial problems.”

A growing number or researchers are looking at the microbiome – an ecosystem of some 100 trillion micro-organisms that live in and on our bodies. Scientists say these populations may be essential for health and the prevention of disease.

29．According to the passage, bacteia can be exchanged during a kiss through .

1. saliva B. tongues C. lips D. breath

30．Why did the scientists have one of the couples drink a probiotic drink?

1. Because they want to observe the response of their bodies.
2. Because they intend to protect the bacteria in the couples’ mouths,
3. Because they want to detect the volume of the transferred bacteria.
4. Because they want to keep a balanced environment in the couples’ bodies.

31．What’s the purpose of the research?

1. To guide healthy kiss.
2. To limit the times of kissing.
3. To avoid kissing different people.
4. To help design future bacteria therapies.

32．We can learn from the passage that .

1. French kissing should be advocated
2. we need to lock lips when kissing if we love her / him
3. the exchanged bacteria through kissing do great harm to the other

D. some of the microbiome may be essential for health though exchanged during a kiss

Strong winds and cold temperatures tested New York City Marathon runners on Sunday. Despite the tough conditions, about 50,000 people completed the 26.2-mile course. They wound (曲折而行) their way from the starting line in Staten Island through Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx toward the finish line in Manhattan’s central Park.

Wilson Kipsang from Kenya won the marathon in 2 hours, 10 minutes, 59 seconds. Because of the wind, his time was the slowest winning time in New York since 1995. it was more than 7 and a half minutes off the world record he set just over a year ago in Berlin. The runners adjusted carefully to 30 mph winds by sticking to a slow pace at the start.

Keitany, also from Kenya, won the women’s title with a final time of 2:25:07. In her previous NYC Marathon, Keitany took an early lead but this year she held back. She and Kenya’s Jemima Sumgong entered Central Park side by side, and Sumgong appeared to be pulling away with just over a mile left. But Keitany had one last burst left and won by 3 seconds. It was the tightest finish in the history of the women’s race. “In the closing miles, my target was to win,” Sumgong said, “but it was Keitany’s day.”

The New York City Marathon has grown from a Central Park race with 55 finishers to the world’s biggest and most popular marathon. Sunday was the 44^th edition of the NYC Marathon. The race had its millionth finisher in history.

Keitany, a two-time London Marathon champ, hadn’t run a 26.2-mile race since 2012 because of the birth of her second child. “I worked hard for this opportunity,” she said. “I’m happy because I have a victory today.”

33．How did Wilson Kipsang perform at the 44^th NYC Marathon?

1. He was the first man to reach the finish line.
2. He finished the course in less than two hours.
3. He ran at a fast pace from the very beginning.
4. He set the worst record in his marathon history.

34．At the 44^th NYC Marathon, Mary Keitany .

1. won by over a mile B. took an early lead as usual

C. didn’t win an easy victory D. beat the former world record holder

35．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?

1. The purpose of the NYC Marathon.
2. The importance of the NYC Marathon.
3. The uniqueness of the NYC Marathon.
4. The development of the NYC Marathon.

There is no doubt that losing weight is much harder than gaining it. So how does one go about the difficult task of shedding (除掉) those extra pounds? 36 The tips and ideas presented to you here are meant to be the extra information you need to help you to get started off on the right foot.

37 If you really like pasta(意大利面食), there are healthy options available to you. You can replace regular pasta noodles with noodles that are made with whole wheat. Using whole wheat pasta tends to be more filling than regular pasta.

38 Studies show that those who exercise, not only lose weight, but keep it off more successfully than those who don’t exercise. Exercise will help raise your metabolic (新陈代谢) rate and create a calorie deficit, which helps the weight come off quicker. Keep moving to keep the weight off.

Cut your juice with half water or club soda. 39 If you can cut them in half with something else, you will eliminate a large number of empty calories and sugar from your diet. This can help you to lose a few pounds.

Whenever people ask 64 they can grow their own square watermelons, my dad tells them to “use square seeds”. Truthfully, though, my dad discovered the key 65 square fruit by accident.

We have a small vegetable garden 66 we plant watermelons every summer. The young melons were placed on cinder blocks (空心砖) to keep them from rotting on the wet ground.

“We didn’t want to kill it, so we just left it there, ” my father remembers. “69 (surprise), when we broke the cinder block at harvest time, we found a perfectly healthy melon–but it was also perfectly square.” Since that summer my family has been growing square watermelons on purpose because they are always well 70(receive).

As is known, volunteering is a good way to make contributions to the society. It has appealed to many people. After all, volunteers can gain much when they help others.

Last week, our school held the 50^th Anniversary and it was my honor to be a volunteer. Due to my excellent oral English, my duty was to serve foreigners. I showed them around our school, during which I told them the history of our school. After the anniversary was finished, I helped clean our school. Tired as I felt, I thought it was worthwhile.

In a word, the voluntary spirit teaches that we should give others a hand as much as possible. In my opinion, we can also benefit much from it.
