Theres no excuse for not trying.”This was not the first presidential speech to students.Ronald Reagan spoke from the White House in 1988.And George HW.Bush spoke from a school in Washington in 1991.But many conservatives(保守者) criticized plans for the speech.Some called it“socialized education”or federal interference(干预) in local schools.Others feared it would be too political. Some schools decided not to show the speech.But the White House released (发布)the text on Monday，and that calmed a lot of critics.On Sunday，on the CBS program“Face the Nation”，Untied States Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said 30 percent of students do not graduate from high school.He called the dropout rate“staggering(令人吃惊的)”It represents more than a million students every year who entered ninth grade but did not complete 12th grade.21.President Obama gave a nationally broadcast speech on Tuesday to_. Acriticize the students who talked back to their parents Btell the students how he struggled to go to school in his childhood Cencourage students to drop out Dpersuade the students to go on with their studies even if they have problems22.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage？ ASome people considered Obamas speech to be too political. BGeorge HW.Bush spoke to students from the White House in 1990. CObamas mother left him when he was two years old. DThe White House decided not to release the text on Monday. 23.It can be inferred from the passage that_. A40 percent of American high school students drop out Bthe dropout rate of American schools is amazing Conly one million students can finish 12th grade each year Dnot all the people support the presidents speech24.Which of the following could be the best title of the passage？ AObamas Hard Childhood BObama Encourages Students to Carry on Studies CObamas Speech Met Criticism DAmazing Dropout Rate of the US B Humans：its time to abandon Earth or race extinction.It could be the plot of a summer blockbuster(大片)，but this prediction isnt science fiction.Its a glimpse of the future，according to famous British scientist Stephen Hawking.“I see great dangers for the human race，”he said in an interview with global forum Big Think.“There have been a number of times in the past days when its survival has been a question of touch and go( 危险的处境; 一触即发的形势 ).”“I believe that the longterm future of the human race must be in space，”he said.“It will be difficult enough to avoid disasters on planet Earth in the next hundred years，let alone the next thousand，or million.”Hawking，who was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom last year，has recently voiced many concerns about the future of life on Earth.“If aliens visited us，the outcome would be as much as when Columbus landed in America，which didnt turn out well for the Native Americans，”he said.“Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads (游牧民)，looking to conquer ( 征服 ) and colonize ( 殖民）whatever planets they can reach.”But Hawking says hes still hopeful for the future of humanity.He told Big Think，“Weve made remarkable progress in the last hundred years.But if we want to continue beyond the next hundred years，our future is in space.”Getting to another planet will prove a challenge，not to mention colonizing it for humanity. Katherine Freese from University of Michigan told Big Think，“The nearest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri (比邻星)which is 4.2 light years away.That means，if you were traveling at the speed of light the whole time，it would take 4.2 years to get thereor about 50,000 years using current rocket science.” 25. Humans are advised to abandon Earth mainly because_.Aaliens will take up our home planet soonBit was discussed in the forum Big ThinkCmany scientists like Hawking are concerned about itDmany disasters will happen on earth26.Thinking about the future of humans，Hawking feels that_.Ahumans cant live on Earth any longerBEarth will not be habitable for humansCother planets are ready for humans to reachDaliens are the biggest future threat to humans27.What is the writers key point in the last paragraph？AIt is impossible to get to another planet in space.BIt is urgent for Hawking to develop the space science.CThe near future cant see humans move to another planet.DThe planet Proxima Centauri is far away from Earth.28.This passage is most probably taken from_. Aa conference interview Ba science fiction Ca history book Da forum report C. The recent capsizing(倾覆）of Eastern Star，with 454 people on board, will not affect cruise(乘船游览）ship tourism in China in the long term，but may have an immediate fallout (附带后果)，an analyst says. On June 1，the ship sank in the Yangtze River in Central Chinas Hubei province, in the face of a fierce storm, killing all but 12 people aboard. According to Zhang Lingyun, the deputy dean of tourism college at Beijing Union University, the ship capsized owing “mainly to rare weather conditions”. “But the public needs time to put the tragedy behind, so there might be a short-term fallout from it. ” Ctrip, a major Chinese online travel agency, has received some requests from customers seeking to cancel their bookings on cruise ships after the incident. More than 50 tourists canceled their planned cruises, says Huang He, general manager of Xiyanghong Travel Agency in Suzhou in eastern Chinas Jiangsu province. His company expects more people to withdraw (撤销）from such trips in the coming days. The Nanjing branch of Shanghai Xiehe Travel Agency, which organized the river excursion (游览）of the capsized Eastern Star, canceled its next cruise, which was to start on June 15. The private company said another trip, set for June 17，might also be canceled. The cruise business in China is developing very fast as more Chinese take to this mode of luxury travel. Last year, more than 220 cruise ships set sail from Shanghai alone, with approximately 1. 2 million passengers, according to the annual report on Chinas cruise industry, prepared by Shanghai Center for International Cruise Economic Research, an industry body. Most river cruise routes are between Hubei provinces Yichang to Chongqing on the Yangtze River, says Chen Caiyin，public affairs manager of Ctrips Beijing office. “We still have guests signing up for the cruise trip at the moment,” Chen says, adding that Ctrip has a procedure to refund money if their customers wish to cancel their cruise trip. Many travel agencies still offer tourism products on the Yangtze River. A five-day cruise on the river costs around 2，000 yuan ($ 322) at presentthe usual price has not been changed after the tragedy, Chen says.29.What can be the main idea of the news report? A.Cruise ship tourism in China is increasing rapidly. B.Long-term cruise business unlikely upset by Eastern Star tragedy. C.Tourism products offered by travel agencies on the Yangtze River. D.Eastern Star sank in the Yangtze River in Central Chinas Hubei province.30.Which of the following phrases can replace the underlined word “refund ” in Para. 5? A. Put out. B. Take on. C. Turn over. D. Give back.31.The passage tells us that. A. Ctrip is a major Chinese shipping company B. there were 466 people on board when the ship capsized C. Most river cruise routes are between Wuhan to Chongqing D. A travel agency in Nanjing organized the cruise of the Eastern Star D If youre secretly worried about your smartphone addiction, then the new NoPhone might be just the thing you need. Its the perfect smartphone placebo(宽慰剂)it looks and feels exactly like a smartphone, but it does nothing. Its just a piece of plastic that you can carry around in your hand to fool yourself.NoPhone is currently a prototype(原型)that will cost merely $12 once it hits the market. Its makers are trying to raise $ 30,000 on Kickstarter in order to cover production and marketing costs. They describe the device （设备）as a technology-free alternative to constant hand-to-phone contact that allows you to stay connected with the real world.Dutch designer Ingmar Larsen, who helped create the NoPhone, said that he expected the idea as a joke along with his friends Van Gould and Ben Langveld. To their great surprise, the idea received a lot of attention online and people from all over the world started placing requests for NoPhones of their own. So that was when the three friends decided to turn to Kickstarter to fund mass production.The NoPhone is 5. 5 inches high, 2. 6 inches wide and 0. 29 inches thick, bringing it quite close to the latest smartphones on the market. The Kickstarters slogan（口号）is quite amusing to readunder features, theyve mentioned things like “battery free，no upgrades necessary，and “waterproof”. Their FAQs address the most important question, “Is this a joke?”, to which their answer is, “No. ”“Phone addiction is real,” they insist. “And its everywhere. Its ruining your dates. Its distracting you at concerts. It s disrupting(干扰) you in movie theaters. Now, there is a real solution. ”“With a thin, light and completely wireless design, the NoPhone acts as a substitution to any smart mobile device, enabling you to always have a rectangle(长方形 ）of smooth, cold plastic to hold without giving up any potential engagement with your direct environment. Never again experience the unsettling feeling when closing your hand. ”If youre interested in NoPhone, but concerned about not being able to take selfies(自 拍)anymore, dont worry. The makers do have an upgrade at no extra chargethe mirror sticker. That way, they say, you can enjoy “real-time” s
