Here, Teens has chosen some of the most interesting ones.EmberEmber MugMugIts hard to always keep coffee at the right temperature, especially in winter. Its too hot to drink at first, but before we know it, it gets too cold and loses all its taste. The perfect level of warmth for a cup of coffee only lasts for 37 seconds, which makes the Ember Mug a great invention. It keeps your coffee or tea at a certain temperature, anywhere between 45 and 62, once you set it through a smartphone app.TastyTasty OneOne TopTopTV cooking shows make cooking look so easy, but its almost impossible to get the recipes to cook the same as how the professionals cook. However, the Tasty One Top DIY cooking companion is here to help. Developed by Buzzfeed, the cooker can be connected to a smartphone app, which has more than 1,700 recipes and videos. You choose a recipe and the app will let the cooker know what to do. For example, itll tell you when to turn your steak or when to add certain ingredients.JiboJiboSmart speakers from companies like Amazon and Xiaomi have added a lot of fun to our lives, but theyre still just faceless speakers. However, Jibo, 4developed by MIT professor Cynthia Breazeal, has brought smart technology to life. Said to be “the worlds first social robot for the home”, Jibo looks like a cartoon character. Inside its “head”, there are various sensors and cameras, which allow it to recognize faces and speech. It can also set alarms, remind you of important things, tell you the weather and read news or messages from your friends and family.21. How can Tasty One Top help people?A.

We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically（身体上）.Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale（秤）instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every 5time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we dont have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(营养成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them.24. From Paragraph 1, we learn that _.A. diet products fail to bring out peoples potential.B. people have difficulty in choosing diet products.C. diet products are misleading people.D. people are fed up with diet products.25. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _.A. try out a variety of diet foods.B. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods.C. pay attention to their own eating habits.D. watch their weight rather than their diet.26. In Paragraph 3, “gain comes without pain” probably means _.A. losing weight is effortless.B. it costs a lot to lose weight.C. diet products bring no pain.D. diet products are free from calories.27. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products _.A. are over-consumed.B. lack basic nutrients.6C. are short of chemicals.D. provide too much energy.C CShe sat at the picnic table alone. Recess（休息）was in full swing. She remained awkward around her classmates. She seemed unsure of what to do or say, yet I could see her eyes longing for acceptance. Many students had already decided that her friendship would not be worth the energy required to overcome the awkwardness. Others teased her. Most ignored herexcept for one.Brianna, the class clown, was making the other students laugh, as usual. “Brianna, do you see Molly down there? Would you mind walking down there and inviting her to come up here with the rest of us?”Brianna sighed. I could tell she didnt want to sacrifice precious minutes of her own recess to do what I was asking of her, but I also knew her heart. She often thought of others before herself - a rare character for anyone, much less a kid.Knowing this choice was hard for her, I pulled out a D-buck, our class currency. Though bribery（行贿）was not the ideal way to handle this situation, I needed her cooperation.“Here, Ill pay you for your time.”She offered an insincere smile, grasped the green paper, and headed down the hill.As the rest of the children screamed and laughed, my eyes locked on Brianna as she neared the picnic table. Molly could be difficult, and I wouldnt have been surprised if she sent Brianna back alone, refusing her invitation. When she encouraged herself to a standing position, I sighed with relief.A minute later, I felt a lap on my shoulder. “Here, Mrs. D.” She handed me the D-buck.“Why?” I asked.“I shouldnt keep this.” Her eyes fell to her feet, guilt radiating from her quiet voice. “I dont want Molly to think I only went to get her so I could earn a D-buck. Shes my friend.” A moment later, they were all laughing again, and who should I see among them, laughing for the first time that week? Molly.28. How was Molly in the authors eyes?7A. She often made fun of others.B. She got on well with other kids.C. She was eager to be accepted.D. She refused to make friends with others.29. On what aspect was Brianna different from other kids?A. Clown talent.B. Cooperation.C. Honesty.D. Kindness.30. How was the author feeling when Brianna walked to Molly?A. Worried.B. Regretful.C. Grateful.D. Puzzled.31. Which of the following can be the best tittle for the text?A. A D-buckB. A Strange GirlC. Power of a SmileD. How to Be a Great TeacherD DI was in the line at Dunkin Donuts. The couple in front of me had ordered their food and stepped to the side. I walked to order mine. Quick and simple. Then I noticed a young man. I could tell he was not having the best of luck and it showed on his face. He walked in carrying his belongings in a torn plastic bag. The couple ahead of me turned, looked, and then turned away. The lady grabbed her purse tighter and her husband quickly stood in front of her.I moved over so he could order. He looked at the board, checked his pockets and didnt seem to have enough for anything. So, he turned around and walked out. I picked up my coffee and followed him out. He had gone maybe five paces when I shouted, “Hey! Do you want a donut?” A little embarrassed, he said, “I dont have any money. I told him to come on back in. As we approached the counter the couple who were still inside looked shocked and confused. We approached the cashier and I said, “What kind do you want?” He whispered, “Jelly.” I said, “Go ahead. Tell her what you want.”“Jelly donut please,” he said. The cashier looked at me and said, “Is that it?” I looked at him. “Do you want anything else?” “Can I have a coffee?” he asked me. I said, “Yes. Tell her.” He did. The total came to $2. 30, which is small change compared to what the typical person spends in a day. But to him it made a great difference.I walked out and the couple were outside talking. The lady whispered to me, 8“I am glad you did thatbefore he tried to rob the place for a donut.” I stopped, looked at her, and said, “Are you a Christian?” She said, “Of course!” I said, “Are you sure? Because arent Christians supposed to love their brothers and sisters and help them when they need it, and not judge?” She didnt have a response.32. Why did the couple get nervous immediately they saw the young man?A. Because the young man looked like a murderer.B. Because they had been robbed by the young man before.C. Because the young man tried to rob them of their money.D. Because they thought the young man might be a dangerous person.33. The lady didnt have a response in the end because _.A. she didnt want to answer the authors questionB. she thought the authors question was not worth answeringC. she was ashamed for her not having helped the young manD. she had to find out a perfect answer to the authors question34. We can infer from the passage that _.A. the author might be a ChristianB. the author must be a rich manC. the author was always kind to anyoneD. the author was the young mans friend35. What can we learn from the passage?A. As a Christian, he or she only has the duty to help other Christians.B. Everyone, especially those Christians, should be ready to help other people.C. All Christians should love their brother and sisters and help them when they need it.D. We should watch out for all strangers we meet because they might be dangerous.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。D Da ai il ly y H Hababi it ts s ofof P Pe eo op pl le e WhoWho N Ne ev verer G Getet S Si ic ck kWhy do some people seem immune to colds and flu? 36 TheyThey p pr re es ss s e el levaevat toror butbutt to on ns s w wi it th h thethei ir r e el lb bo ow wEveryday mistakes can raise your risk of catching a cold.
