Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the waves from her house. “It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says.‎ On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie’s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city’s bridge closed.‎ When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn.‎ In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.‎ ‎“My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Natalie says. “but I can always choose how I deal with it.”‎ Natalie’s choice was to help.‎ She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted information about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collection when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced.‎ In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-needed supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.‎ Today, the scars(创痕) of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. “I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,” Natalie declares. “My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.”‎ ‎24． When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane, she found _________.‎ A. some friends had lost their lives B. her neighborhood was destroyed C. her school had moved to Brooklyn D. the elderly were free from suffering ‎25． According to Paragraph 4, who inspired Natalie most?‎ A.

A friend in need is a friend indeed.‎ C. East or west, home is best. D. Technology is power.‎ C Goldfish have pretty boring lives, so maybe it’s a good thing they can only concentrate for nine seconds! But according to new research, humans are becoming like goldfish. Our attention span(时长) is getting shorter and it’s all because of technology. ‎ ‎“We move quickly from one site to another on the web,” says Dr. Ted Selker, a computer scientist from Massachusetts, “And we are losing the ability to concentrate.” With millions of websites to choose from, the attention span of the average Internet user is just seconds. There are other digital distractions(使人分心的事) too: emails, instant messaging and quickie movies on websites. ‎ Some people are worried about the effect on young people. “You need time to understand and think about what you read,” says Julia Wood, from London. “Young people search the net all the time and their brains become full of useless information but there is no time to make sense of it. I am trying to persuade my pupils to read more books, so that they concentrate on one subject for ‎ longer. ”‎ Other teachers are trying more unusual methods to improve students’ concentration. Anne Savan, from Wales, was so worried about her students that she started playing Mozart during her science lessons. She says that it had an amazing effect, “The music made them calmer, and their concentration was much better.”‎ But not everyone believes that there is a problem. Ray Cole, an educational psychologist says, “On the web, young people learn to make quick decisions about what is and isn’t worth reading. They might look at five unhelpful websites very quickly, before stopping and reading a sixth useful website more carefully. In a world with so much information available, this is an important skill. ”‎ ‎28. According to new research, why humans are becoming like goldfish?‎ A. Because we have pretty boring lives like goldfish.‎ B. Because our attention span(时长) is getting shorter like goldfish.‎ C. Because we can only concentrate for nine seconds like goldfish.‎ D. Because we are hard to learn new things like goldfish.‎ ‎29. What may cause a shorter attention span according to Dr. Ted Selker?‎ A. We move quickly from one site to another on the web.‎ B. We become more and more busy.‎ C. Our traditional methods of reading is losing. ‎ D. We spend much time in making decisions. ‎ ‎30. What will help students overcome a short attention span?‎ A. Receiving emails. B. Texting messages. ‎ C. Reading more books. D. Watching quickie movies. ‎ ‎31. What is the best title for this passage?‎ A. Computer Games are Monsters B. Goldfish and Human Beings C. Short Attention Span D. Thinking about Skipping on the Websites.‎ D They go up and they go down. They take people from one floor of a building to the exact same spot on another floor. A new technology will break elevators free from their vertical (垂直的) prisons, allowing them to move side to side, at an angle (角度), even go outside into a city.‎ ‎ German company Thyssenkrupp has developed a new kind of elevator that uses maglev (磁悬浮) technology to move elevator cabins Called Multi, these elevators are no longer limited to a single vertical path.‎ A funny thing happens when elevators can go anywhere. Tall buildings, which are designed to work around elevators, can start taking on different shapes. They can go wide, add towers or go in unusual directions, and make room for green spaces that otherwise would have been an inconvenience. A single elevator can run from the east side of the first floor to the far west side of the 30th, no transferring or walking necessary. It gets even more interesting when an elevator leaves the building. Patrick Bass, Thyssenkrupp’s North America CEO, has worked in the elevator industry for 26 years. He thinks these elevators will create new transportation networks to support the cities of the future. As more people go into cities, there’s a renewed interest in creating energy efficient spaces. Moving people around quickly is a huge part of that.‎ He imagines Multi working perfectly with other Thyssenkrupp technology like the Accel moving walkway. Accel, which also uses maglev technology, speeds up after you step on and can go twice the speed of a regular moving walkway. It was the first use of maglev technology outside of a train. The Accel is already in use in some cities now.‎ ‎32. Compared with traditional elevators, Multi can __________.‎ A. go more smoothly B. go in any directions C. go up and down freely D. go directly from floor to floor ‎33. What will happen to buildings with Multi?‎ A. They will hold more people. B. They will become much higher.‎ C. They will be in different shapes. D. They will be connected to one another.‎ ‎34. In what way can Multi support cities of the future?‎ A. They save space in cities.B. They help avoid the rush hours.‎ C. They help people save money. D. They help move people around quickly.‎ ‎35. Why is the Accel mentioned in the last paragraph?‎ A. To show how Multi works. B. To show the importance of the Accel.‎ C. To tell us other products by Thyssenkrupp.‎ D. To explain the wide use of maglev technology 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。 (将选项涂在答题卡相应的71-75题）‎ ‎ Physical activity is important for children. 36 , yet many parents find their children not interested in sports.
