• 13．Technology affects the way individuals communicate，learn，and think.It helps society and determines how people interact with each other on a daily basis.It has positive and negative effects on the world and it impacts daily lives.We are living in a time when technological advancements are common.However，with technological advancements，there's a downside （弊端）to it all.
     One aspect of technology that has bad a great impact on society is how it affects learning.It's made learning more interactive，which helps people better understand the material that they are learning and have trouble with.Also，it gets people better access to resources.With the creation of the Internet，it gives us access to information at a twenty-four-hour rate and you have access to almost anything onljye.aie.In addition，it allows students to get work done easier.It also expands the boundaries of the classroom，encouraging self-paced learning.People can access learning through websites and social media.This helps students learn better than sitting down for lectures and reading from textbooks.These technological advancements have made learning more fun and convenient.
     Besides，the technological advancements have also helped keep people safe and healthy.There are many apps on phones for people to monitor their weight，the calories they intake，heart rate and other health properties （属性） any time of the day.There's increased accessibility of treatment available，there's the change in healthcare that adds benefits for the elderly，and hospitals using advanced technology within their surgical rooms.

• 14．The Transoceanic Highway has been celebrated as one of South America's greatest engineering achievements，and supporters say it will greatly improve people's lives.Until recently，travel between the cities of Cusco and Puerto Maldonado in Peru took days by bus or truck-as Mary Luz's story illustrates—and drivers had to use narrow，parually unpaved mountain roads.Now，thanks to the new highway，the trip only takes a few hours，and is much safer.
     Despite the highway's many potential benefits，environmentalists are concerned.The Transoceanic passes directly through a large part of the Amazon rain forest，in the state of Madre de Dios in Peru.According to a Peruvian government study，the forested area in the western mountains of this state has the greatest biodiversity of any place on Earth，and until recently，large parts of the forest were in pristine （未开发的）condition.As more people are moving into the region，environmentalists are worrying about the impact this will have on the Amazon's plants and animals，many of which are found nowhere else.
     Shortly after the highway opened，large numbers of people began coming into Puerto Maldonado from all over Peru—and the world—to mine gold.There's a lot of money to be made in mining，as well as in farming，says environmental photographer Gabby Salazar. "I think we're going to see a big increase in farming，" she says. "Right across the border in Brazil，you see soybean farms all over the place." Studies show three-quarters of the deforestation of the Brazilian Amazon occurs within 50 kilometers （30 miles）of a highway，and environmentalist like Salazar are concerned that the same thing will happen in Peru. "It's having an impact on the environment，" she explains. "It's having an impact on the people as well."
     Faced with these risks，many Peruvians talk about the importance of being practical， "In rural Peru，a lot of people are living in poverty，so it's very difficult to say don't build the highway." explains Roger Mustalish，president of the Amazon Center for Environmental Education and Research. "But every time you see a road like this going through，you soon see major changes." Will these changes be mostly positive or negative？Many Peruvians are hopeful，but only aim will tell.
  
  （1）What is the passage mainly about？

  
  A．A new development that is resulting in mining and farming jobs.
  B．How environmentalists are protecting the Amazon's diverse wildlife.
  C．The impact a highway will have on the environment and people of Peru.
  D．How the Brazilian government helped the people of Peru build a new highway.
  （2）Which of the following concerns does the passage specifically mention？

  
  A．Increased mining will lead to soil erosion.
  B．Farming will lead to an increase in water pollution.
  C．The highway will have an impact on plants and animals.
  D．The cities along the highway will become overpopulated.
  （3）What can we infer from the last paragraph？

  
  A．A highway like this brings about major changes on the environment.
  B．Economic development and environment protection need to be well balanced.
  C．It's too soon to say whether the highway will bring more good than harm or not.
  D．People in rural Peru are willing to sacrifice their benefits for the good of the environment.
  （4）What's the author's tone in writing this passage？

  
  A．Positive.
  B．Subjective.
  C．Negative.
  D．Objective.

• 15．We know that sleep plays an important part in our overall health.（1）

  According to a study，there are a series of serious issues beyond our control that can affect our ability to sleep well.Insomnia（失眠）or other medical issues，feeling unsafe，loud noises from within or outside our home，having to look after a baby or someone else in the household，and other reasons could all play a part.
     But what about those，times when external（外部的）conditions are perfect，and yet we still fail to get to bed in time？（2）

  Plus our bedtime routine，all this has made it difficult.
     （3）

  watching TV checking email on a tablet，reading social media updates on a phone.Also，we tend to be optimistic and overconfident，and that delays our sleeping time.（4）

  But when it leads to unrealistic expectations for the future，it can lead us somewhere else.In the case of sleeping，we might be overly optimistic that replying to that email will all take less time than they actually do.
     A slightly different point is that rather than the screen itself，the activity we are taking part in when using these bright screens might be causing us to stay up later than we would like.（5）

  In other ages，this would have been impossible or improper.This communication，either through stress，a request from the boss，or excitement，a social invitation，will keep us awake.
  
  A.Of course，optimism isn't necessarily a bad thing.
  B.There are several things you can do to stay up late.
  C.Think of the pre-bedtime activities many people engage in.
  D.We now have access to communication at any time of night.
  E.However，there are many people who can't get enough sleep.
  F.Nowadays，different time zones also have influences on people's sleep.
  G.A combination of environmental and behavioral habits might be part of the reason.
