In my spare time, i ould like to go to the cinema to watch a great film. It's two hours of relaxation and escapism from real life. But when I kick back in my seat to enjoy the film and tuck into my box of popcorn, I'm often irritated by seeing someone next to me texting on their mobile phone or worse still, talking to someone.
It's no surprise that a proposal by a US cinema chain to let people use their phones during some film screenings was met with such anger, that the company had to withdraw the idea. People said it was ‘the worst idea ever’! Surely, going to watch the latest film is just that – watching not multi-screening. And if you're out with a friend it seems very antisocial or just rude. I certainly get distracted by the click-click on someone's mobile keyboard as they text and the glow of the bright small phone screen – why aren't they concentrating on the big screen?
But with the availability of streaming films at home and cheap DVDs, cinemas are struggling to keep their customers. Some places now offer comfortable seats with snacks and drinks so maybe trying to attract a younger audience by allowing the use of mobile phones is the way forward? A survey in 2012 found that a majority of 18-to-34-year-olds believed using social media while watching a movie would add to their experience.
However, not every young person wants to multi-task at the movies. Many of us still get annoyed by the theatre staff who appear not to do anything about it. Of course, we could ask the offenders to turn their phones off but as Adam Aron, head of AMC Entertainment, said in Variety magazine, “when you tell a 22-year-old to turn off the phone, don't ruin the movie, they hear ‘please cut off your left arm above the elbow’.” Clearly this is not what I would like to see but if you want to use your mobile phone in the cinema that I’m at, please don’t sit next to me! What do you think is the right thing to do?

24. The underline word “irritated” in Paragraph 1 means _________.
A. terrified B. depressed C. annoyed D. embarrassed
25. Which of the following is True of the US cinema chain’s original advice?
A. The advice was carried out smoothly.
B. The advice was very popular with people.
C. They permitted people to use the phone.
D. They prohibited people to use the phone.
26. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A. Young people use their social media frequently.
B. The cinema needn’t worry about their customers.
C. People prefer to watch films and DVD at home.
D. Sending messages is the best experience for young people.
27. What is the author’s attitude towards multi-task at the movies?
A. Sympathy. B. Encouragement. C. Enthusiasm. D. Disapproval.
C
People need to seek out new foods because the world has so many mouths to feed. As of 2015, there are more than seven billion people on Earth, according to the United Nations. And by 2100, that number may double. Feeding all of these people means not only improving the way food is grown, but also finding new sources of nutrition.
And that quest is becoming ever more urgent. If nothing changes, within 35 years, the world’s appetite will be greater than the amount of food produced. That’s according to a report released last year. It was prepared by the Global Harvest Initiative, a private agriculture group based in Washington, D. C.
Global warming, too, is changing food production. Scientists predict that rising temperatures will reduce the growth of important crops like wheat, corn and soybeans. Low-income developing countries will be hit the hardest. When harvests fall, crops become more expensive. And since those foods are also used to feed animals like cows and pigs, meat prices too, will rise.
All over the world, researchers are racing against the clock to figure out how best to feed more people in a fast-changing world. And some surprising ideas have begun to come up. Two years ago, scientists introduced the first burger made from meat grown in a lab. The project cost more than $ 300, 000, but it’s a start. Other researchers are developing seeds that can survive high temperatures and drought. Still others are finding ways to improve the genes of meat animals so they produce more meat and can stand the heat.
A gloomy (悲观的) forecast for the planet isn’t the only reason to study foods for the future. It’s a creative quest that will inspire people who can think in new ways about existing plants and animals—even insects. These researchers have used their talents in ways that even they never would have predicted.
28. What do the underlined words “that quest” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The research on food.
B. The increase of population.
C. The variety of nutrition.
D. The change of appetite.

29. How does global warming affect low-income developing countries?
a. Increase meat prices. b. Raise the temperature.
c. Reduce the growth of crops. d. Lead to the high cost of life.
e. Cause a higher price for crops.
A. d→ a→ c →d →e B. b→ c→ e→ a→ d
C. d→ e→ c→ a→ b D. b →a →c→ d →e
30. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 4?
A. New ways of farming. B. Some great researchers.
C. Achievements in lab experiments. D. Progress in food research.
31. What will be discussed in the following paragraph?
A. Examples of successful food researchers. B. Different opinions about the future food.
C. Methods of dealing with global warming. D. Possibilities of feeding the present population.
D
More and more people use smart phones to pay bills and store personal information, so strict password security has become more important than ever. A new study shows that free - form gestures – sweeping fingers in shapes across the screen of a smart phone—can be used to unlock phones. These gestures are less likely to be observed and reproduced by others than traditional typed passwords.
“All that it takes to steal a password is a quick eye,” said one of the researchers of the study. “With all the personal information we have on our phones today, improving their security is becoming increasingly necessary.” In developing a secure solution to this problem, the researchers studied the practicality of using free - form gestures. With the ability to create any shape in any size and location on the screen, the gestures were popular as passwords. Since users create them without following a template(模板), the researchers predicted these gestures would allow for greater complexity.
The researchers carried out a create - test - retest experiment where 63 people were asked to create a gesture, recall it, and recall it again 10 days later. The gestures were captured on a recognizer system designed by the team. Using this data, they tested the complexity and accuracy of each gesture using information theory. The result of their analysis is that people are favorable to use free - form gestures as passwords.
To put their analysis into practice, the researchers then had seven students in computer science and engineering, each with considerable experience with touchscreens（触摸屏）, attempt to steal a free - form gesture password by observing a phone user secretly. None of them were able to copy the gestures with enough accuracy. The gestures appear to be extremely powerful against attacks.
Though the testing is in its early stage and widespread adaptation of this technology is not yet clear, the research team plans to continue to analyze the security and management of free – form passwords in the future. They believe this is the first study to explore free - form gestures as passwords. They will soon publish their findings.
32. What can we learn about free - form gestures?
A. They are improving mobile security in a way.
B. Users will have to make use of simple gestures.
C. They will never be copied by others.
D. Users must move their fingers in fixed shapes.
33. The experiment in paragraph 4 is to test _________ of free - form gestures.
A. template B. security C. accuracy D. application
34. According to the text, the researchers think that ________.
A. it is easy to steal any password with a quick eye
B. better ways of setting passwords should be developed
C. people had better not use smart phones to pay bills
D. personal information should not be stored in a phone
35. The main purpose of the text is to ________.
A. advise people to use free - form gestures B. discuss whether smart phones are safe
C. introduce the study of a new password D. talk about the practicality of passwords
