11．Well，parents，surprise!Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to find rides，and not just to school．It's awkward to call a friend and ask for a ride，and half the time they'll say，"Sorry，my car is full．"But with Twitter，you just tweet#AshleysPoolParty and look for other people heading the same way．
It may sound risky，but many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides，and don't branch out beyond friends of friends when asking on Twitter．For me，I only rideshare with people I know，but to some young people，especially those taking longer trips，stranger danger is less of a concern．
The sharing economy got big during the recession（经济衰退）．It allows people to access more goods and services using technology，while also allowing them to share cost．And that technology，for me，is what the car was for my mom，a gateway to more freedom．
According to the researchers at the University of Michigan，30 years ago，eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver's license．Today it's six in ten．So it's not that surprising that on my 16^th birthday I wasn't rushing to get a license．All I wanted was an iPhone．Juliet Schor （Sociology professor at Boston College） knows people my age love being connected and for young people driving means they have to disconnect from their technology，and that's a negative．So if they could sit in the passenger side and still be connected，that's going to be a plus．
To me，another plus is ridesharing represents something much bigger than trying to save money．I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other．My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar．For the system to work，some of us still need our own cars．But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle，you can find me on Twitter．
66．The writer usually rideshares withB．
A．anyone heading the same way B．people he knows
C．friends of friends D．strangers of his age
67．Fewer young people choose to ride by themselves becauseD．
A．driving means offering free rides to others．
B．getting a driving license becomes more difficult．
C．driving one's own cars causes a negative impression．
D．driving makes them disconnected from technology．
68．We can conclude from the passage thatC
A．the writer rideshares just to save money
B．people under 18 are not allowed to drive
C．silver Super Beetle is the writer's favorite
D．the older generation had to fight for freedom
69．Which is the best title for the passage？A
A．Teens use Twitter to thumb rides．
B．Tips on reducing risks in ridesharing．
C．Car is no longer a gateway to freedom．
D．New generation knows how to save money．

解答 66B细节理解题．根据第二段"For me，I only rideshare with people I know"可知，作者只和认识的人拼车，故选B．
67D细节理解题．根据第四段"for young people driving means they have to disconnect from their technology，"可知，对于年轻人选择科技产品而不是购买汽车，是因为开车会让他们与现代科技相脱离，故选D．

19．Driving in New Zealand is not difficult but there are a few surprises．（36）D．The following hints should help you have a safe trip．
Driving is always kept on or below the legal speed limits indicated on road signs．The maximum speed on any open road is 100km/h．The maximum speed in urban areas is 50km/h．Adjust your speed as conditions demand．
（37）E．Although distances may seem short，New Zealand roads often include hilly，narrow or winding areas，which slow down your journey．If you're used to driving in the city，take care when driving on the open country roads，and watch out for single-lane bridges．
New Zealand accepts the national driving licenses of all other countries for tourists staying less than 12months．You must carry your license while driving．After a period of one year，you must apply for a New Zealand driver's license．（38）F．
Most open roads are a single lane each way，except for motorways coming into larger cities （Auckland，Wellington and Christchurch）．Before overtaking，make sure you will have at least 100m of a clear road in front of you．Do not pass on double yellow lines-these indicate that it's too dangerous to overtake．
Road conditions are variable．Off the main highways some roads may be not opened and extra care needs to be taken．（39）C Ask your rental car company to mark these roads on your map before setting off．
In winter some roads may be dangerous due to ice or snow，particularly around mountain passes．（40）B Do not brake suddenly on ice．In some cases chains may be required （rental cars usually come with chains supplied）．Make sure you're familiar with how to fit them．
A．If you have an international driving permit，you can drive for one year after you
first arrive in New Zealand．
B．Look out for signs indicating slippery surfaces and drive slowly．
C．A few of them are not safe for vehicles and insurance does not cover them．
D．You should be aware of our road rules and driving restrictions before you set out．
E．Don't underestimate driving time．
F．You will have to pass a theory test，and a practical test．

17．Think about the last time you felt afraid．Was it a fear of height？Did you oversleep on a weekday and fear you'd get into trouble at the office？In any case，you know what it feels like to feel fear．
But one woman doesn't．The woman，code-named"UM"，gave her first-ever interview after years of being studied by a team of researchers．The woman is given a code name because the researchers want to protect her from anyone who would take advantage of her inability to feel afraid．
UM can't tell you what fear is because she's never experienced it．"I wonder what it's like to actually be afraid of something，"she said．The formal name for the disease is Urbach-Wieth disease，which is characterized by a hoarse（粗哑的）voice，small bumps around the eyes，and calcium deposits（钙沉积的）in the brain．
In the case of UM，the disease has transformed the part of her brain that controls the human response to fear．In the interview，UM talks about an event in her life where she was held at knifepoint and gunpoint，"I was walking to the store，and I saw a man on a park bench．He said．‘Come here，please，'so I went over to him．He grabbed me by the shirt，put a knife to my throat and told me he was going to cut me．I told him，‘Go ahead and cut me，'I wasn't afraid at a11．And for some reason，he let me go．"
Doctors who have been studying UM's condition for years have been trying different things that could strike fear into her．They finally figured something out-increasing UM's carbon dioxide levels．Extra carbon dioxide concentration in the blood is known to cause fear and panic in health individuals．Increasing UM's carbon dioxide levels did manage to give her a fright．
8．The text starts byC．
A．challenging the reader
B．solving daily problems
C．1isting situations
D．giving explanations
9．Why is the woman with Urbach-Wieth disease given a code name？D
A．To tell her case from other patients．
B．To respect her privacy．
C．To meet the researchers'demands．
D．To ensure her safety．
10．From UM's case，we can know that Urbach-Wieth disease mayA．
A．stop the brain from functioning normally
B．1ead to a decrease in calcium deposits
C．stop the brain from responding quickly
D．1ead to an increase in carbon dioxide
11．What will probably happen to UM？B

6．The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women in America，or probably in the world．
During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a woman's life spent in caring for the children．A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties？And would be likely to have seven or eight children，of whom four or five lived till they were five years old．By the time the youngest was fifteen，the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years，during which custom，opportunity and health made it unusual for her to get paid work．Today women marry younger and have fewer children．Usually a woman's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty．Even while she has the care of children，her work is lightened by modern living conditions．
This important change in women's life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position．Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity，and most of them took a full-time job．However，when they married，they usually left work at once and never returned to it．Today the school leaving age is sixteen，many girls stay at school after that age，and though women tend to marry younger，more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born．Very many more afterwards return to full-or-part-time work．
Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage，with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life，and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money，and running the home，according to the abilities and interests of each of them．
（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS．）

78．At what age did most women get married in the late nineteenth century？in their middle twenties．
79．A women today can still take care of her children when doing paid work in their forties because ofher age and the lightened work．
80．Of"such changes"today，one is that many more mothersreturn to full or part-time job after their first child is born．
81．What are the factors that cause a couple to share economic and family affairs in an equal way？Their abilities and interests．

16．Do you like shopping？Or does the thought of wandering round the shops fill you with terror？For some of us，shopping is an enjoyable way of spending our spare time and our money．For me．it's something I would rather avoid．Thank goodness for the Internet!It's more convenient to buy CDs，electrical items，even food，from the comfort of your sofa．But that's not the only reason：price is an important factor．We can buy goods and services cheaper online．But sometimes the problem is not knowing what to buy．This has led to a type of shopping called"showrooming"．
Showrooming is something I've done．I will go to a shop to see，touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a knock-down price．I'm not alone in doing this．Research by a company called Foolproof，found 24%of people showroomed while Christmas shopping in 2013．
Amy Cashman，Head of Technology at TNS UK，says the reasons for this new shopping habit are that"people are lacking time，lacking money and they want security about the products they are buying．"She explains that consumers are not only shopping online at home but they are using the Internet in store or on their smartphones to shop around．
But does this mean technology will kill shops？Certainly shops will change．They will have to offer more competitive prices or encourage people to buy more by giving in-store discounts or free gifts．
We mustn't forget that buying in a shop means you can get expert advice from the sales assistant and you can get good aftercare．It's good to speak to a real human rather than look at a faceless computer screen but at least by showrooming，you get the best of both worlds!
61．The two questions in Paragraph l are raised toA．
A．introduce the topic
B．give two examples
C．compare different opinions
D．get answers from readers
62．What does showrooming mean in the text？A
A．Trying in shops and buying online．
B．Showing products in a room．
C．Buying something in a store．
D．Shopping on the Internet．
63．According to Amy Cashman，which is not the reason for showrooming？B
A．The lack of time．
B．The comfort of the sofa．
C．The shortness of money．
D．The security of the product．
64．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4？C
A．Online shops will disappear．
B．Free gifts will surely promote sales．
C．Shops need necessary changes．
D．Shops will be replaced by online shops．
65．The author's attitude towards showrooming isC．
A．critical             B．neutral           C．supportive         D．casual．

3．We regularly hear how important consumer spending is for the economy．The story goes like this：the more consumers spend，the more money circulates in the economy，which contributes to healthy job growth and profits．Keynes，a British economist，went as far as to say that individuals saving their money may actually be hurting the economy．Sounds troubling，doesn't it？
Fear not．You aren't actually hutting anyone else by saving money．Strong economic growth only comes from one place：savings．Not consumption．In fact，economic activity should not be mistaken for economic growth．For example，somebody takes their money，walks into a store，and purchases goods．The store increases its revenue．
But what happens to all of those goods and services that people have chosen not to consume by saving their money？Simple：Other people are allowed to consume them．Think of it this way：When you lend out your savings，you are actually saying，"Here，I am not going to consume right now，so why don't you？"Banks simply play the middleman：they collect lots of people's savings and then lend out lots of funds．
It takes an unbelievable amount of goods and services to construct a building．It takes food，shelter，and entertainment for all of the workers，as well．Without savings，it is quite impossible to finance such a construction．The coordination（协调）between savings and consumption is a necessary basis for sound economic growth．This coordination is also why consumer lending （say，to borrow a big sum of money to buy a car） is not productive，in a strict sense．It doesn't increase the net （净的） amount of wealth of an economy．Those savings could have been used to construct，say，factory equipment．
None of this means consumption and spending are"bad"things．They simply do not make us wealthier．Alter all，the final goal of production and savings is to consume．But to say that consumption is the engine of economic growth is to put the cart before the horse．Or，to rephrase：the consumption of wealth can never make you wealthier．Happier，perhaps．Wealthier，no．

63．What is the author's attitude towards Keynes'theory？D
A．Approving．
B．Reserved．
C．Uncertain．
D．Critical．
64．The underlined word"revenue"in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning toD
A．cost
B．reputation
C．interest
D．income
65．The author holds the view thatD．
A．governments shall cut out banks as financial middleman
B．economic activity is equal to economic growth
C．consumer lending is the engine of economic growth
D．consumption is likely to lead to increased happiness
66．According to the author，which chart could show the effect of savings on economy？B

67．What would be the best title for this passage？D
A．The Saving Behavior of the Economy
B．Consumption：a Key Concept in Economy
C．Consumer Spending and Economic Growth
D．The Truth about Savings and Consumption．

The silence was finally broken when Mickey，his face filled with joy，hugged my son tightly and shouted，"I scored!I scored．Everybody won!Everybody won!"For a moment I held my breath，not sure how my son would react．I need not have worried．I watched，through tears，as my son threw up his hand in the classic high-five（致礼）salute and started chanting，"Way to go Mickey!Way to go Mickey!"Within moments both teams surrounded Mickey，joining in the chant and congratulating him on his goal．Mike happily and everyone sent their wishes to him．
Later that night，when my daughter asked who had won，I smiled as I replied，"It was a tie．Everybody won．"

1．Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever，even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started．Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country．In fact，according to an official report on youth violence，"In our country today，the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment，but the terrible reality of violence"．Given that this is the case，why aren't students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems，drive cars，or stay physically fit？
First of all，students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable．A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult （侮辱）．For example，a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime．Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults，which in turn can lead to
violence．The problem isn't in the sandwich，but in the way students deal with the conflict．
Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable，they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution （解决）：stay calm．Once the student feels calmer，he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well．Rude words，name-calling，and accusation only add fuel to the emotional fire．On the other hand，soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control．
After both sides have calmed down，they can use another key strategy for conflict resolution：listening．Listening allows the two sides to understand each other．One person should describe his or her side，and the other person should listen without interrupting．Afterward，the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker's position．Then the two people should change roles．
Finally，students need to consider what they are hearing．This doesn't mean trying to figure out what's wrong with the other person．It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish．For example，a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things．Students need to ask themselves questions such as these：How did this start？What do I really want？What am I afraid of？As the issue becomes clearer，the conflict often simply becomes smaller．Even if it doesn't，careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution．
There will always be conflict in schools，but that doesn't mean there needs to be violence．After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program，according to Educators for Social Responsibility，"64percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom； 75percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation； and 92percent of the students felt better about themselves"．
Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends，teachers，parents，bosses，and coworkers．In that way，conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country．
32．This article is mainly aboutD．
A．the lives of school children
B．the cause of arguments in schools
C．how to analyze youth violence
D．how to deal with school conflicts
33．From Paragraph 2we can learn thatB．
A．violence is more likely to occur at lunchtime
B．a small conflict can lead to violence
C．students tend to lose their temper easily
D．the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight
34．Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in Paragraph 5？C
A．To find out who is to blame．
B．To get ready to try new things．
C．To make clear what the real issue is．
D．To figure out how to stop the shouting match．
35．After the conflict resolution program was started in Atlanta，it was found thatA．
A．there was a decrease in classroom violence
B．there was less student cooperation in the classroom
C．more teachers felt better about themselves in schools
D．the teacher-student relationship greatly improved．
