In the age of smart phones, apps are like guiding stars: They can point you in the right direction for a hotel, list expenses, send postcards, and much more. When used together, these apps can be the basic travel tool, placing a wealth of information at your fingertips no matter where you are on the planet. U.S. News Travel has picked the essential travel apps, known for their utility and reliability. Best of all, they cost absolutely nothing.‎ Trip It Your Personal Travel Agent Be your own travel agent and plan every detail of your trip—from car rental to accommodating restaurants—with Trip It. You can make travel schedule by hand, or simply forward the email confirmations of your flight, rental car, train tickets, and hotels to plans.‎ Weather Free Your Go-To Meteorologist(气象学者)‎ Stop trying to explain the weather forecast on the evening news (particularly when it's in a foreign language). The Weather Free app informs you (in English) of the climate in various locations. It features the local weather, and other key factors that will inform your decision about what to wear before stepping outside.‎ Goby Your Event Guru When you're in a foreign city, you sometimes look around and ask: Where are all the people? Goby has the answer. This app pinpoints the neighborhood hot spots (including museums, hotels, eateries, and more) in your neighborhood. But its true value comes in finding nearby events. You'll discover concerts, plays, and more right around the corner.‎ ‎21. What is the advantage of using travel apps picked by the U.S. News Travel?‎ ‎ A. They can solve any problem you come across.‎ ‎ B. They reduce your travel budget.‎ ‎ C. They exercise your fingertips.‎ ‎ D. They are reliable and free of charge.‎ ‎22. With the help of the travel apps used together, travelers can do the following things EXCEPT__.‎ ‎ A. rent a car B. decide what to wear ‎ C. look for a friend while traveling D. find the nearby museums ‎ ‎23. Where are the readers likely to read the passage above?‎ ‎ A. In a geography textbook B. In a science fiction ‎ C. On a popular website D. In a business report ‎ B In today's world of smart phones and laptops, most people have at least one time-telling thing with them. Since these digital products are so common, is time running out for the 500-year-old watch? According to some consumers, the answer is yes. New Jersey teenager Charlie Wollman says a watch is “an extra piece of equipment with no necessary function.” Many young adults think so and use their smart phones to tell time. It is said that fewer young people wear watches today than ten years ago. As a result, some people say that the watch industry is at a crossroads.‎ ‎ However, watchmakers optimistically say that watches redeem popularity when consumers reach their 20s and 30s. By then, they are willing to spend money on a quality watch that doesn’t just keep good time. Fifty years ago, watchmakers took pride in their products’ accuracy. But in recent years, the watch industry has changed itself into an accessory(配饰) business. And today, the image a watch conveys has become more important than the time it tells.‎ ‎ “Complications” — features that go beyond simple timekeeping — are an important part of a watch’s image. Today’s watches offer lots of features that meet almost any personality. These ‎ features include compasses, USB drivers, and even other functions that measure the effectiveness of golf swings!‎ ‎ Creativity also plays a key role in designing today’s watches. For example, Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash makes watches that don’t even look like watches. The company’s popular Shinshoku model uses different color lights to tell time. It looks more like a fashionable bracelet than a watch.‎ ‎ Whether a watch conveys fashion sense, creative talent or a love of sports, consumers want their watches to stand out. Nowadays, everyone has the same kind of gadget（小玩意） in their bags, so people want to make a statement with what’s on their wrists. Will this interest in wrist fashion last? Only time will tell!‎ ‎24. What can we know from the first paragraph?‎ ‎ A. As most people see, watches are out of fashion. ‎ ‎ B. Some people feel that watches have been of no use. ‎ ‎ C. The watch industry will close down sooner or later.‎ ‎ D. There are so many choices of watches for teenagers today. ‎ ‎25. According to the passage, what image does a watch convey nowadays?‎ ‎ A. It simply tells time. B. It appeals to many teenagers. ‎ ‎ C. It has many complex functions.‎ ‎ D. It has an impact on creativity and imagination.‎ ‎26. Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash is mentioned in Paragraph 4 to _________.‎ ‎ A. show why Shinshoku watches are popular ‎ ‎ B. advertise Shinshoku watches made by Tokyoflash ‎ ‎ C. tell that today’s watches need more imagination ‎ ‎ D. make a comparison between watches and bracelets ‎27. What may be the best title for the passage?‎ ‎ A. Watches Tell More Than Time B. Japanese Watches Stand Out ‎ ‎ C. Watch Industry Is in a Bad Situation ‎ ‎ D. Watches Are Becoming Less Popular ‎ ‎ C If you want a little extra security against thieves stealing your bicycle, designer Dennis Siegel ‎ has designed a solution. The RFID Bikealarm is attached to the seat on a bicycle and gives off an alarm when it senses movement.‎ ‎“The RFID Bikealarm is meant to be a useful add-on to mechanical bicycle locks because it greatly extends the range of protection with only a few components,” Siegel explains on his website. “It is low-cost, durable and easy to use.”‎ The Bikealarm was designed as part of Siegel’s Bachelor’s degree thesis at the University of the Arts Bremen in Germany. The device will scare off any would-be thieves the moment they begin to steal the bicycle to which it is attached. It is able to continuously sense the environment to distinguish between specific events, for instance a passing tram / car and a serious theft.‎ Siegel created a working model of an alarm that would sound when it sensed movement, but wasn’t initially sure how it would be best attached to a bicycle. “I decided to mount it to the rails of the seat because it allows for comfortable interaction and the position is less obvious as it looks like a small repair kit,” he says.‎ Siegel chose to use RFID technology rather than Bluetooth to keep the costs down. Siegel explains that the most difficult aspect of creating the alarm was to get the electronic circuit down to a small enough size.‎ The device runs off a kind of battery that can be charged by USB within 2 hours and lasts for a few days with normal use. As the Bikealarm is only at development stage, Siegel hasn’t signed any agreements to put it on the market.‎ ‎28. When it senses movement, the RFID Bikealarm will _____.‎ A. make a warning sound B. fasten the bicycle tightly C. shake the bicycle quickly D. call the police automatically ‎29. Which of the following shows the right position of the RFID Bikealarm on a bicycle?‎ A. B. ‎ C. D. ‎ ‎30. What do we know about the RFID Bikealarm?‎ A. It can’t tell between specific events.‎ B. It is very difficult to use.‎ C. It uses a kind of battery for power.‎ D. It depends on Bluetooth technology.‎ ‎31. It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that ______.‎ ‎ A. the electronic circuit is a little larger ‎ B. it’s very easy to make a Bikealarm ‎ C. it costs too much at present ‎ D. not many Bikealarms are produced ‎ ‎ D Vancouver. B.C.—For six months. Ted Schredd and Deanna Kopel cycled around North America to show others a way to help the environment. “Nobody wants to breathe dirty air—but for the air to change. People have to stop driving cars,” says Ted, “If more people start riding bikes, the air will be cleaner.”‎ ‎ Ted started his trip alone. He had $ 160 in his pocket and plans to cycle around North America. He left his hometown of Vancouver, and when he arrived in San Diego he got the chance to make some extra money for the rest of his 13, 000 km trip. A cyclist he met asked him to speak at an environment meeting in Texas. Within a few hours, Ted was on a plane to the meeting and a big surprise. ‎ ‎ When he met Deanna at the meeting, they talked for six hours straight. It was love at first sight. The next day, he called her to ask if she wanted to finish the trip with him. She said yes, sold everything in her flat, gave her notice at work, and was on the road with Ted three weeks later. ‎ ‎ Deanna found Ted’s timetable difficult because he got up early in the morning. Deanna was a nurse and usually worked at night. “All of a sudden, I was up at six when I wanted to sleep until noon,” said Deanna.‎ ‎ As the couple cycled to Florida and up to Montreal and then back to Vancouver, every day was an adventure. They got free meals in restaurants, and slept in people’s yards. When they ran out of money, people gave them extra cash. Sometimes people gave away $50 or $100.‎ ‎ And like all good stories this one has a happy ending. On the way back to Vancouver, they stopped in Edmonton to visit Ted’s relatives. During the visit, they got married. People tied ten cans and a “Just Married” sign to the back of their bikes.‎ They now want to write a book about their trip. “We want people to know that you can protect our earth and still have fun,” Schredd said.‎ ‎32. What did Ted Schredd believe to be a way to protect the environment? ‎ ‎ A. Driving less. B. Breathing clean air.‎ ‎ C. Saving waste tin cans. D. Staying healthy by cycling.‎ ‎33. Why did Ted speak at an environmental meeting? ‎ ‎ A. He could get a big surprise. B. He was in the city of the meeting.‎ ‎ C. He hoped to find someone to help him. ‎ D. He wanted more people to know more about his opinion.‎ ‎34. What difficulty did Deanna meet after starting the trip with Ted?‎ ‎ A. Getting free meals in restaurant. B. Sleeping in people’s yards.‎ ‎ C. Getting up very early. D. Missing her friends.‎ ‎35. In what way does the story have a happy ending for Ted and Deanna?‎ ‎ A. They got married during their trip. B. They got together with their relatives.‎ ‎ C. They became very famous in America. D. They wrote a book about their experience. ‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ What is the best way to catch someone who is telling a lie?‎ For a long time, the traditional method of identifying liars was to watch their body language, including facial expressions. According to a new study, body language cannot be trusted. Talking, it seems, is the best way to smoke out a liar. That is what researchers in the United Kingdom found out recently. Their investigation took place at one place where lying can get you into big trouble -- an airport.‎ ‎ ____36___‎ 1. ‎____37____‎ These are the opposite of “Yes” and ‘"No” questions. Open-ended questions force the person to stretch the story of their lies until they are caught in their own net of lies. 2. Use the element of surprise ‎____38_____ Ask questions that are surprising or off-topic. This will make it harder for them to keep lying. Or better still ask them to re-tell an event backwards in time, going from the most recent event to the earliest. This is hard enough to do with the truth, let alone a story of lies. 3. Look for small details that do not add up or, in other words, make sense.‎ Ask them details about their stories and look for facts that seem in disagreement with each other. But do not let them know you know. ______39_______‎ ‎4. Watch for changes in confidence and speaking styles Liars will often change their speaking style when they are questioned. For example, when they feel in control they may be very talkative. _____40______‎ A. The British government partly financed this study.‎ B. The agents talking with the passengers were 20 times more likely to catch the liars.‎ C. But if they feel they are losing control, they may not talk much at all.‎ D. Use open-ended questions E. Here are four ways of catching a liar.‎ F. Just let them dig themselves deeper into a hole.‎ G. Ask questions they may not think you are going to ask.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用 ‎ 第一节 完形填空 (共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 ‎ There is an old Spanish Proverb which states, "Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week".
