Tributes for famed theoretical physicist, cosmologist and best-selling author Stephen Hawking filled social media sites overnight. Scientists, media personalities, celebrities and many of the millions around the world who were influenced by his work and inspired by his life shared their thoughts:‎ His passing has left an intellectual vacuum in his wake.

A lasting influence from Steven Hawking B The rough across the plain soon became so bad that we tried to get Bruce to drive back to the village we had come from. Even though the road was littered with large rocks and holes, Bruce was not in the least worried. Glancing at his map, he informed us that the next village was a mere twenty miles away. It was not that Bruce always underestimated difficulties. He simply had no sense of danger at all. No matter what the conditions were, he believed that a car should be driven as fast as it could possibly go.‎ As we bumped over the dusty track, we did our best to avoid large rocks. The wheels scooped up stones under the car. We felt sure that sooner or later a stone would rip a hole in our petrol tank or damage the engine. Because of this, we kept looking back, wondering if we were leaving a trail of oil and petrol behind us.‎ What a relief it was when the rocks suddenly disappeared, giving way to a stretch of plain where the only obstacles were clumps of bushes. But there was worse to come. Just ahead of us there was a huge fissure(深缝). In response to our repeated request, Bruce stopped. Though we all got out to examine the fissure, he remained in the car. We informed him that the fissure extended ‎ for fifty yards and was two feet wide and four feet deep. Even this had no effect. Bruce still drove at a terrifying speed. Before we had time to worry about what might happen, we were back on the plain again. Bruce consulted the map once more and told us that the village was now only fifteen miles away. Our next obstacle was a shallow pool of water about half a mile across. Bruce charged at it, but in the middle, the car came to a sudden stop. A yellow light on the dashboard flashed angrily and Bruce cheerfully announced that there was no oil in the engine!‎ ‎25. Why were the passengers so relieved when the rocks disappeared?‎ A. Because Bruce could now drive even faster.‎ B. Because it seemed less likely that they would meet with disaster.‎ C. Because they had seen the huge fissure laying ahead of them.‎ D. Because they had covered the greater part of the distance to the village.‎ ‎26. When they reached the fissure, Bruce stopped the car because___________.‎ A. the passengers had asked him to do so B. he wanted to know the exact dimensions of the fissure C. he was not sure whether the car was wide enough to cross it D. he thought it was easier to drive across it without the passengers.‎ ‎27. At the end of the story Bruce’s reaction shows that___________.‎ A. he was extremely irresponsible for the passengers B. He had underestimated the depth of the pool C. He was not the sort of person to be disturbed by anything D. He was a very optimistic and humorous man C ‎ Children of all ages gathered in New York City recently for the International Toy Fair. Hidden among already popular toys were new, high-tech educational products.‎ Educational products are important to the toy industry. In recent years, parents have shown an interest in STEM-related toys – ones that help teach Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. But now, toymakers are working to create products for improving a child's emotional intelligence. These toys reportedly not only help raise intelligence in children, but also their emotional quotient, or EQ. Companies showed off their products last week at New York's Jacob‎ Javitz ‎Convention Center.‎ PleIQ is a set of plastic toy blocks. It uses augmented reality(增强现实) technology to teach words, numbers and other things. Edison Durán directs the company that makes PleIQ. She showed people at the toy fair how virtual images appear on the blocks when they are held in front of a tablet camera. Intelligence includes intrapersonal skills -- processing information within one's mind -- and interpersonal skills, or dealing with other people. Durán said PleIQ builds on both by having children act as teacher or guide to a companion character. ‎ On the other side of the convention center, Karen Hu demonstrated an educational robot called Woobo. Hu asked the hairy green robot: "Hi, what's your name?" With a childlike voice, the toy answered, "Are you trying to trick me? My name is Woobo." The robot comes programmed with educational games and activities. Children use its touchscreen face to get them started. Toys that work as companions also aid in social development. Hu described how the robot can help a child who has autism.‎ ‎"He can communicate with Woobo and he can follow some of the instruction Woobo is giving because he thinks of this as a companion instead of a parent or someone else telling him to certain things."‎ ‎ A more low-tech companion is a toy animal called Manimo. The manufacturer says this toy can help reduce hyperactivity in children and improve their ability to pay attention to a subject. Whether it’s a snake, dolphin or other animal, Manimos can be placed across a child’s arm, chest or neck. Karine Gagner, president of Manimo, explained that adding deep pressure to one’s body can help calm a child before bedtime.‎ ‎ In remains to be seen whether a game or toy can improve emotional intelligence. But toymakers are doing what they can to help parents in their efforts to raise well-rounded children.‎ ‎28. According to the passage, why do toymakers focus on the creation of educational products?‎ A. Because they try to meet parents’ increasing needs.‎ B. Because the toys are advanced in high technology.‎ C. Because traditional toys don’t appeal to children any more.‎ D. Because the toys are helpful to those kids with special needs.‎ ‎29. To which situation can intrapersonal skills be applied?‎ A. Little Mike is trying his best to work out “2+3=?”.‎ B. Kate is unwilling to make friends with those in her kindergarten.‎ C. A robot can process information faster than man.‎ D. Jerry with autism loves to be left alone.‎ ‎30. What can be inferred from the passage?‎ A. High-tech toys can make a big difference to both EQ and IQ.‎ B. A hyperactive child may have difficulty staying focused.‎ C. Woobo can start automatically and offer kids educational games and activities.‎ D. Toys served as companions can be helpful in economic development.‎ ‎31. What’s the author’s attitude towards the toymakers ?‎ ‎ A. Sceptical B. Neutral C. Negative D. Positive D When we do the same movements with our bodies over and over again, we overuse some muscles. And that overuse can lead to strain and injure. Sometimes those problems can come from doing sports. But exercise professionals say they are now seeing another cause for muscle problems: hand-held technology devices.‎ Staring down at your phone or tablet for long periods of time puts great tension on your neck and spine(脊椎). Many people who use tech devices also hunch their shoulders forward. Experts say this posture puts strain on the entire upper body. Muscle strain linked to hand-held technology has become such a common condition that it now has a name: tech neck.‎ Kimberly Fielding, an exercise teacher in New York City, explains that constantly looking down at our devices creates an unnatural curve in our spine. This can cause nerve pain and other problems. “A lot of the curves of the neck can change, so instead of the cervical spine going inward, the curve can be a little bit different and it causes nerve pain and herniation(椎间盘突出)and different muscle tension headaches -- different things that really can reduce quality of life.”‎ Fielding created a class to directly address the problem of tech neck. The class uses different exercises to release tension in the upper body and strengthen back and neck muscles. Fielding says these exercises may feel uncomfortable in the beginning because the neck muscles may have become weak.‎ However, you don’t need to take a class like Fielding’s. You can take simple steps to improve tech neck. For a quick fix, hold your phone at eye level. At the same time, take breaks from using ‎ your technology by standing up and stretching your legs often. Also, give your eyes a break by closing them throughout the day.‎ ‎32. What does the underlined phrase “tech neck” in Para. 2 refer to?‎ A. The painful neck caused by electronic devices.‎ B. The strong neck after technical physical exercise.‎ C. The damage to the neck through frequent use of cellphones.‎ D. The cellphone or tablet hung on the neck.‎ ‎33. What can we learn from Kimberly’s findings?‎ A. Muscle tension can lead to spine curving and headaches.‎ B. The overuse of some muscles can result in strain and injury.‎ C. Staring down at your smart phone too long can do harm to your neck spine.‎ D. Quality of life is decided by the condition of neck spine.‎ ‎34. Why did Kimberly Fielding start the class?‎ A. To help those suffering from tech neck.‎ B. To help people learn more about tech neck.‎ C. To further study the causes of tech neck.‎ D. To stress the danger of hand-held devices.‎ ‎35. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?‎ A. To invite people to attend the class.‎ B. To urge people to keep away from e-products.‎ C. To advise those addicts to exercise their necks.‎ D. To give some practical tips to prevent neck pain.‎ 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ We face problems in our everyday life.  　36　Don't worry.

You need to be accurate with the details. Keeping the unrelated information can sometimes complicate the simple problems as we tend to overlook the important information.‎ Carry out the solution Putting the solution into effect in a correct way to get the result expected is important while solving a problem.
