Shopping online increases the odds that someone will steal your credit card number. And the buynowpaylater aspect of credit cards encourages some people to dangerously overspend. But the online economy is very much a credit card economy. If youre going to buy a song, book, or just anything online, youll be expected to enter a credit card number. Fortunately, there are options.Before we get to the good options, lets discuss an obvious but very bad one: your ATM card. Sure, it has a 16digit number and can be used as a credit card. But its a debit card, with the money ing out of your bank account immediately with each charge. If a thief gets your number, he or she could empty your account before you know what happened. Not so with a real credit card, where you pay nothing until you see the monthly bill and can challenge doubtful charges.Instead, ask your bank to set you up with a secondary account for online purchases, and keep only a small amount in that account. The account would need its own ATM card, with its own credit card number. Just make sure this account lacks overdraft protection; you dont want money moving automatically from your real account into this one.Another option: Sign up for Paypal, connecting it to your bank account. The payment service of Paypal can give you a debit card that you can use in place of a credit card.Finally, you can use gift cards, which you can buy at oldfashioned brickandmortar stores (實體店). You can even buy these with cash.I found gift cards for various prepaid amounts for Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Ebay, and others. They also sell prepaid Visa cards, which you could purchase for any amount between 20 and500.語篇解讀：我們有足夠的理由不使用傳統(tǒng)的信用卡網(wǎng)購，因為那很容易讓某些人偷走我們的信用卡號，我們的賬戶就會面臨被刷空的風(fēng)險。那么如何既適應(yīng)網(wǎng)購大潮，又保護(hù)好自己的金錢呢？本文提出了幾種不直接用傳統(tǒng)信用卡進(jìn)行網(wǎng)購的做法。24The underlined word “odds” in Paragraph probably means “_”Ariches BchancesCabilities Dresponsibilities解析：選B詞義推測題。根據(jù)被猜詞前面的increases一詞以及后面that引導(dǎo)的同位語從句that someone will steal your credit card number 可知，網(wǎng)上購物增加了他人盜走你的信用卡號的可能性，故本題選擇B項“可能性”。A項意為“財富”；C項意為“能力”；D項意為“責(zé)任”。25Which is NOT true of an ATM card from the passage?AIt can be used as a credit card.BIt has a 16digit number.CIt is a debit card.DIt is oldfashioned.解析：選D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第二、三句“Sure, it has a 16digit number and can be used as a credit card. But its a debit card”可知，A、B與C項都與ATM card“金融卡”有關(guān)，而D項在文中未提及。26Which are the right options to shop online without a credit card?akeeping a large amount in your secondary accountbsigning up for Paypal, connecting it to your bank accountcusing gift cards bought at oldfashioned brickandmortar storesdasking your bank to set you up with a secondary account for online purchasesAa，b，c Ba，b，dCa，c，d Db，c，d 解析：選D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第一句中的“keep only a small amount in that account”可知，a項中l(wèi)arge一詞錯誤，故正確答案中不應(yīng)該包括a，故本題選擇D項。27What would be the best title for the passage?AHow to Shop Online Without a Traditional Credit CardBWhy We Shouldnt Use a Credit Card OnlineCSeveral Ways to Shop Online Efficiently DWhat Sites Sell Prepaid Visa Cards解析：選A標(biāo)題歸納題。 第一段第一句提出不要用傳統(tǒng)的信用卡進(jìn)行網(wǎng)上購物，最后一句提出有其他選擇可以取代這種支付形式；其余五段接著說明了具體的替代方式，也就是不用傳統(tǒng)的信用卡卻能進(jìn)行網(wǎng)購的做法，故本題選擇A項。C項意為“高效率網(wǎng)購的幾種做法”，與本文內(nèi)容不符，故排除。CRobert Ballard was born in 1942.Form an early age, he loved the sea.Ballard grew up in Southern California.He spent his free time at the beach near his home.He enjoyed fishing and swimming.He even learned to dive.When Ballard wasnt at the ocean, he loved reading about it.At the age of 10, he read Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, a book which describes the undersea adventures of Captain Nemo.Ballard decided he wanted to be like Captain Nemo when he grew up.His parents helped him follow his dream.Ballard was a hardworking student.He spent many years learning all he could about the ocean.By the age of 28, he was an expert.In 1970, he took a job as a scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts.There he studied underwater mountains of the Atlantic Ocean.He came up with ways to predict volcanoes under the oceans.Working with other scientists, Ballard also found previously unknown sea animals.These animals lived far below the oceans surface, where scientists had believed no animals could live.By the 1980s, Ballards interests changed.He developed unmanned vehicles to explore the ocean bottom.His first find, the wellknown ship Titanic, made Ballard famous.He was not happy with just one big find, however.He looked for and found other wellknown ships.One was the German battleship Bismarck.Another was the USS Yorktown, an aircraft carrier (航空母艦) that sank during World War .Today Robert Ballard is still an underwater explorer.He also heads an organization that encourages students to learn about science.Ballard hopes that some of the students will follow in his footsteps.After all, the worlds huge oceans are mostly unknown.Who knows what remains to be discovered under the sea?語篇解讀：本文介紹了海底探險家羅伯特巴拉德的人生經(jīng)歷，包括他小時候的理想、學(xué)習(xí)經(jīng)歷以及長大后的成就。28What was Ballards dream when he was young?ATo be an animal expert.BTo be a professional diver.CTo be a famous writer.DTo be an underwater explorer.解析：選D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“At the age of 10, he read Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, a book which describes the undersea adventures of Captain Nemo.Ballard decided he wanted to be like Captain Nemo when he grew up.”可知，巴拉德小時候的夢想是做一名海底探險者。故選D項。29When Ballard worked at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, he_.Aexplored mountains with other scientistsBthought of ideas to predict underwater volcanoesCfound some unknown sea animals aloneDdeveloped unmanned vehicles to change interests解析：選B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“There he studied underwater mountains of the Atlantic Ocean.He came up with ways to predict volcanoes under the oceans.”可知，巴拉德在伍茲霍爾海洋研究所工作時，提出了預(yù)測海底火山的方法。故選B項。30What can be a suitable title for the passage?AThe Unknown Ocean WorldBA Hardworking StudentCThe Life of an Undersea ExplorerDAn Underwater Exploration解析：選C標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)文章的時間線索可知，本文是一篇人物傳記，主要介紹了海底探險家羅伯特巴拉德的人生經(jīng)歷。故選C項。31Which of the following is TRUE about Ballard according to the passage?ABallard set up an organization to teach students science.BBallard has explored more than half of the worlds oceans.CBallard disappointed his parents at his undersea adventures.DBallard was greatly influenced by Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.解析：選D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的“At the age of 10, he read Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, a book which describes the undersea adventures of Captain Nemo.Ballard decided he wanted to be like Captain Nemo when he grew up.”可知，巴拉德受海底兩萬里這本書的影響很大。故選D項。D(2018天津河北區(qū)質(zhì)檢)Sometimes having a teenager at home can be a real headache. Many teenagers smoke, drink, wear strange hairdos and even fight. Basically, they are often taking risks.Earlier studies have shown that teenagers are more likely to make irrational decisions than people from any other age group, including children and adults. Is it that teenagers are too young to tell right from wrong? Not really. So what explains their risky behavior?According to Laurence Steinberg, a professor at Temple University, US, the reason is that teens care a lot about how their peers (同齡人) view them thats the effect of “peer influence”， reported Science Daily.As children enter their teenage years, they spend more time with their friends and classmates and also bee more sensitive to their feedback (反饋). This sensitivity drives teenagers to concentrate on the shortterm benefits of making risky choices and overlook the costs.In a test, a group of teenagers were asked to play a video driving game. When they played with their friends watching, they took more chances and drove more carelessly because that would increase their possibility of winning. But when they played alone, they tended to drive more safely.Why does pressure from peers have such a big influence on teens behavior?As Steinberg sees it, a teenagers brain is like a car with a good accelerator (油門) but a weak brake (剎車). The “accelerator”， the brains ability to notice the benefits of things, is fully developed by teenage years while the “brake”， the brain part related to controlling impulses (沖動) and longterm thinking, is still immature. When teens are under the pressure of being judged by their peers, they tend to push hard on the accelerator. Given how weak the brake is, it is likely that they are going to end up in a crash.But the good news here, according to Steinberg, is that a violent teenager doesnt necessarily bee a violent adult. About twothirds to threequarters of violent youth grow out of it. “They get more selfcontrolled，” Steinberg told Live Science.Also, people who havent mitted a violent crime by age 19 are less likely to start doing it later, added Steinberg.語篇解讀：家里有個問題青年是件令人頭疼的事情，可是這些暴力青年在長大后并不一定會成為暴力成年人。32The underlined word “irrational” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to “_”Acrazy BquickCcareful Dindependent解析：選A詞義猜測題。結(jié)合第一段可知青少年可能會做出一些瘋狂的決定。irrational與crazy意思相近。33Why are teenagers likely to take risks according to the text?AThey are too young to tell right from wrong.BThey are eager to challenge themselves.CThey care a lot about what their peers think of them.DTheir brains are more sensitive to thrilling events.解析：選C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段“teens care a lot about how their peers (同齡人) view them”可知選項C正確。34How does Steinberg explain the influence of peer pressure on teens behavior?ABy performing an indepth analysis.BBy giving examples.CBy using a metaphor (比喻)DBy presenting research findings.解析：選C推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第三段“As Steinberg sees it, a teenagers brain is like a car with a good accelerator (油門) but a weak brake (剎車)”可知選項C正確。35According to the text, with peers around them, teenagers tend to _.Ause more selfcontrolBbee more careful about what they doCperform better than when they are aloneDfocus more on shortterm benefits解析：選D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第五段“When they played with their friends watching, they took more chances and drove more carelessly because that would increase their possibility of winning.”可知選項D正確。第二節(jié)(共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分)American teenagers are driving less than ever before. Surveys of American youngsters show that young people in America prefer to spend their time online, chatting with their friends or playing games on the Internet rather than cruising (漫游) around in their cars. _36_For generations cars have been a symbol of freedom and Americas most important pastime. You had to have a car at an early age if you wanted to be cool. As gas prices are increasing, car driving is being more expensive. For almost half of the generation between 18 and 26, having good Internet access is more important than owning a car. _37_There they can chat, exchange photos and play games together.The golden age of the 50s and 60s, in which teenagers drove around just for the fun of it, is gone. In those days a shiny new car was something to boast about. It showed who you were. Among the baby boomers of the postWorld War era, 85% wanted their own cars. _38_ In 2010 the figure dropped to only 30%.Today driving is not as much fun as it was in the 50s and 60s when there was not so much traffic. _39_ In the golden age cars were everything young people had so they just got into them and drove off as soon as they got home from school.Another reason for the decrease in teenage driving may be stricter driving tests and the fact that 16yearolds must be acpanied by licensed drivers over 21.But not only teenagers have been driving less. A study shows that Americans of all ages have cut down car use, mostly because gas prices have been going up since 2007. _40_ It has more cars per person than any other country in the world.ASeldom can they pass the driving test easily.BAmerica, however, remains a country of automobiles.CAnd you didnt have to pay so much attention on the roads.DThe car as a status symbol is not as important for them as it used to be.EYoung adults of today dont meet their friends in person but via the Internet.FMore and more teenagers tend to devote their time and energy to playing puter games.GIn 1978, half of all 16yearolds got their driving licenses as soon as they had reached that age.語篇解讀：隨著油價的上漲以及網(wǎng)絡(luò)的普及，越來越多的美國年輕人寧愿花時間上網(wǎng)也不愿意開著車到處閑逛了。36解析：選D上一句提到如今美國的年輕人寧愿花時間上網(wǎng)也不愿意開著車到處轉(zhuǎn)，因此D項(對年輕人來說，作為身份象征的車已經(jīng)不再如以前那樣重要了)既總結(jié)上文，又點明文章主題，符合語境。37解析：選E下一句提到在網(wǎng)上，他們可以聊天、互換照片，也可以一起打游戲，因此E項(現(xiàn)在的年輕人不再面對面交流，而是通過網(wǎng)絡(luò)聯(lián)系)在此引出下文。38解析：選G下一句提到在2010年這個數(shù)字下降到了30%，因此G項(在1978年，大約半數(shù)的16歲孩子一到這個年齡就拿到了駕照)與下一句形成對比，說明現(xiàn)在開車的年輕人不如過去多這一事實。39解析：選C上一句提到在五六十年代，路上沒有那么多的車，因此C項(并且那時你也沒必要如此注意路上的車)與上文語意一致，說明了五六十年代的道路和行車狀況。40解析：選B上一句提到不僅是孩子，美國各個年齡段的人對汽車的使用都在減少；下一句提到美國人均擁有車的數(shù)量仍然是最多的。因此，B項(然而美國仍是一個汽車之國)既與上一句構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，又引出下一句的論述。第一節(jié)(共20小題；每小題1.5分，滿分30分)Presently selfie (自拍) is popular among many young persons, even some elders.
