Rescue Time

Rescue Time offers a detailed look at how you’ve spent your time—the good and the bad. This desktop application runs in the background, tracking everything you do on your computer, and delivers a report on how you’re spending your time. The free version tracks the time you spend on websites and applications, lets you set goals and sends weekly reports. At $9 per month, it adds the ability to track time away from your computer and lets you block websites that may affect your productivity.

Math Alarm

Want to make sure you get to class on time and squeeze in a little extra math practice as well? That’s exactly what Math Alarm, a free iOS app, can help you do. Set the alarm for the time you need to rise, and you’ll have to answer a math problem in order to turn it off. The problems aren’t tricky but they are enough to awake your brain so that you’re more likely to wake up.

Cliffs Notes

Teachers hate them, students love them. The Cliffs Notes Study Guide app is free for iOS devices, but actually available only for some contemporary well-known novels. If your course load includes another classic novel, you’ll have to pay $2 for each study guide you need. The available titles include a wide selection, ranging from The Outsiders to Paradise Lost and Their Eyes Were Watching God, but students in need of help with some lesser known titles may be out of luck.

22、   Most of you have heard of the term "big data" by now. When a company records the information of millions of users, it can analyze this "big data" to discover patterns and trends, allowing them to make better business decisions. It sounds like a science experiment, but every single user who gives up their information becomes an unwilling test subject. Companies claim that the data is used to provide "better service".

When shopping on Taobao, for example, you will get product recommendations based on your previous purchases, making it easier to finish a shopping list. However, did you really end up only purchasing items you originally had in mind? Or did you add a few more to the cart as a result of their recommendations? And the customer? They just become one more point of data in the system.

Of course, you might be fine with spending a little extra from time to time, but that is only a tiny droplet (水滴) in the vast sea of big data. Moreover, companies can actually buy and sell your data. So, that is another way for companies to make quick money. The next time a photo editing application asks for your contacts, location and calendar, you may wonder which company is looking to buy your information.

As technology grows more advanced, there will only be more opportunities for you to be exposed. Every single photo, text or video you post on the internet is there to help someone paint a better picture of you. Perhaps in the near future, someone will have collected enough data to predict the future decisions you will make before you even make them. Actually, given the amount of data that is already at their disposal (任意使用 ), maybe it is already happening.

【1】What is the purpose of collecting big data for companies?

A.To cut the cost of running companies B.To assist companies get higher profit

C.To provide better service to customers D.To analyze companies’ economic advantages

【2】What of the following is the missing sentence in Paragraph3？

A.Big date benefits the customers. B.That’s where the business wins.

C.Taobao dominates the shopping markets. D.Product recommendations make shopping easier.

【3】What is the best title for the text?

A.More Data, Less Privacy B.Big Data, Better life

C.More Data, Less Trouble D.Big Data, Future Predictor

23、A Swedish company training crows to pick up litter in exchange for food, claims that its program could save communities a fortune in cleaning costs.

Teaching humans not to throw cigarette butts on the street has so far proven impossible, but a Swedish company claims it can teach crows to pick up after us and save local communities millions of dollars in cleaning fees every year. It teaches wild crows to do our dirty work through a step-by-step learning process by rewarding the birds with food for every cigarette butt they collect.

“They are easier to teach and there is also a higher chance of them learning from each other. At the same time, there’s a lower risk of them mistakenly eating any rubbish,” company founder, Hanssen, said. “They’re wild birds taking part in on a voluntary basis.”

Crows are among the smartest birds on Earth, and such training programs have proven successful several times in recent years. In fact, the company is so confident it can pull it off that it has expressed interest in testing it in on a larger scale, in the town of Södertälje.

Hanssen believes that the initiative could save the municipality(自治市)at least 75% of the costs involved with picking up cigarette butts, depending on how hard the crows work. If it proves successful, the company hopes that it will provide a permanent cleaning solution that can be used in other parts of the country and eventually nationwide.

The approach to litter cleaning has gotten positive feedback online, but there are those who think the fact that we can train crows to pick up cigarette bults, but we can’t get humans not to throw them away is hard to accept. Plus, there are the health problems of constantly exposing the birds to the cigarette butts.

【1】What is the advantage of the program?

A．It can save food.

B．It can save money.

C．It helps protect birds.

D．It helps change people’s bad behavior.

【2】Why are crows chosen for the program?

A．They have a strong ability to learn.

B．They have a strong sense of smell.

C．They are good at collecting rubbish.

D．They are in large numbers in Sweden.

【3】What can we know from the last two paragraphs?

A．Only a few people support the program.

B．The program can do harm to the crows.

C．The company can get a fortune from the program.

D．The program has served as a cleaning solution nationwide.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A．Crows Learn to Exchange Food

B．Crows Are Good at Collecting Litter

C．Crows Are Trained to Pick Up Litter

D．Crows Begin to Feed on Cigarette Butts

24、This summer has brought extreme heat and droughts to places around the world. The droughts are leading to serious problems and the effects of the droughts are likely to be felt for years. Droughts aren’t new, but Earth’s rising temperatures because of global warming are making them much harder to avoid.

The drought in the Horn of Africa may be the most serious situation. For several years, the area has had very little rain during the rainy seasons. The dry conditions have killed millions of farm animals and destroyed the crops of farmers.

The drought is causing energy problems in Europe, too. The low water levels have cut the amount of hydroelectric power that can be produced. Some rivers are so low that the heavy boats that carry coal can’t travel on them.

Farmers in California and Arizona have been hit particularly hard. California has put limits on water use across the state. Now water is being limited in other places. When there are water limits, farmers aren’t able to grow as many crops. That can drive up food prices, and that affects everyone.

China is facing similar problems. The drought has dried up much of the water in the Yangtze, China’s longest river. That has cut the amount of energy produced by the world’s largest dam by 40%.

China hasn’t been able to produce enough energy, since millions of people are using electricity to keep cool. The government is calling on the public to turn off the air conditioner when it is not too hot. The country is trying to make it rain by shooting chemicals into clouds. But this is an uncertain and temporary response.

There are no easy solutions to any of these droughts. It took years to create the climate crisis, and it will take a long time to get it under control. For now, governments and people will need to carefully manage water supplies and other resources to limit the damage as much as possible.

【1】What has been affected by droughts according to the passage?

A．Technology.

B．Transportation.

C．Education.

D．Tourism.

【2】What measures have been taken to deal with droughts in China?

A．Bringing water from other countries.

B．Finding replacement for rain water.

C．Limiting the use of drinking water.

D．Controlling the use of electricity.

【3】How might the author feel about the fight against drought?

A．Concerned.

B．Satisfied.

C．Disappointed.

D．Optimistic.

【4】What can be the best title for the passage?

A．Worldwide Droughts Appeared as New Problems

B．China Is also Facing the Serious Drought Problem

C．Droughts Cause Problems Around the World

D．Many Reasons Lead to the Drought Problem
