Booking a lift via Zimride can be a good choice for a long trip that you schedule in advance. But what about if you want to catch a ride right now? Just turn to the mobile app Lyft! The app, only available via invite now, lets potential riders look for available drivers close by and request rides. The riders and drivers can look at each other’s profiles and the app is using Facebook Connect for log-in and social security. Once booked, riders can watch their drivers drive to them on a mobile map in real time. Riders pay the driver based on a suggested donation mobile via the app itself (no cash exchange) and Zimride says the rides will be about 30 percent cheaper than a cab. The biggest problem with these types of apps will likely be safety issues—riders getting picked up by drivers they don’t feel comfortable with. To address some of these concerns, the company says drivers will be investigated via car inspections, background check, personal interviews and DMV record checks. Zimride says its fellow 500 Startups-backed company Task Rabbit advised it on some of these security moves. For now the service will only be available during the evening rush hours. Over time, the service will be available 24 hours, says Zimride. San Francisco is rapidly becoming a test bed for these types of next-generation, more efficient, transportation apps, like Scoot Networks and Ridepal. 56. For what purpose did Zimride create the new experimental mobile app? A. To help to arrange a long trip ahead of time. B. To encourage drivers to make a larger profit. C. To share information with fellow companies. D. To enable riders to catch a ride in real time. 57. What does the underlined word “profiles” probably mean? A. Personal information. B. Self evaluation. C. Specific address. D. Brief comments. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 58. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us about the mobile app Lyft? A. Its working system. B. Its safety measures. C. Its installation. D. Its fellow companies. 59. What do we know about the Lyft service? A. It charges riders more money. B. It is not well received at present. C. It provides efficient transportation. D. It runs twenty hours every day. 60. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The author is not confident of the future of the service. B. Zimride will open a company to test transportation apps. C. Apps like Lyft may be widely used in the next generation. D. The mobile app Lyft has been put into use nationwide. 【参考答案】56—60 DABCC 【2014 高考训练】 Our world is a noisy place, but quiet places remain. Eight years ago, audio (声音的) engineer Gordon Hempton identified the quietest place in the continental United States. He calls the place “One Square Inch of Silence.” He has used his symbolic spot in a northwestern rain forest to campaign against noise pollution. But the self-described “Sound Tracker” is now going deaf. For Gordon Hempton, it started with an experience known to many people. “I was lying in the bed in the springtime about a year ago. The sun was shining. The birds could be singing. They should be singing. But I was hearing none. I knew my life was going to be different.” Hempton’s eyes get watery as he describes his cruel situation. More than 20 years ago he trademarked his nickname as “The Sound Tracker.” Sharp hearing defined his career as an Emmy award winning sound recordist. It also led to his activism against noise pollution. He has circled the globe three times in search of the perfect sounds of nature. Hempton says his hearing loss is quickly getting worse but he has to finish his project. “I am running a race to finish the Quiet Planet collection.” That’s the title of a planned 19-volume set of nature recordings. The sound tracks could be licensed for use in movies, video games, exhibits, plays and the like. Volunteer assistants now help Hempton review and edit sound files and identify imperfections. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 5 The exact cause of his hearing loss is not clear. Doctors say it may be the result of an infection, or a tumor (肿瘤) or a combination of things. Hempton is self-employed. His health care plan does not pay for hearing loss treatment. So, for now, he’s directing his attention to completing his “greatest hits” album. “After I get it finished, I have an economic cash flow to get my hearing back. That’s the first thing on my to-do list.” He’s hopeful his hearing loss can be recovered. 61. What do we know about Gordon Hempton according to the text? A. He never won an Emmy award. B. He fights against air pollution. C. He works as an audio engineer. D. He likes living in the United States. 62. How did Gordon Hempton feel when he knew his ears were going deaf? A. Curious. B. Inspired. C. Annoyed. D. Sad. 63. What contributed most to his successful career? A. His sharp hearing. B. His reliable assistants. C. Travelling experiences. D. The sounds of nature. 64. What is Gordon Hempton doing now? A. Listening to the birds in the forest. B. Receiving medical care in the hospital. C. Doing activities for noise pollution. D. Working on the Quiet Planet collection. 65. What may be the best title of the text? A. Searching for the sound of nature. B. Successful Sound-Tracker going deaf. C. Deaf fighter against noise pollution. D. Hoping to get the hearing back. 【参考答案】61—65 CDADB 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D)中，选出最佳选项。 【2013 界广东省深圳市一模】 All parents know that one of their most important tasks is to prepare their children for an independent life, but any parent can tell you that it’s hard to let go of your children.

Revolutions are led by the young. Good teachers make the growth of critical (批判性的) thinking easier in their students, only to find that this can lead to a questioning of the teachers’ basic beliefs. Schools encourage parents to become involved, but are often embarrassed when parents have reservations about some of the educational methods being used. Governments encourage unimportant groups to empower themselves in order to participate fully in the development process. And they are often surprised when the new leaders of these groups turn around and attack the policies of that same government. The rebellions (叛逆的)young and the newly unimportant groups are important in social development. They are not necessarily representatives of those they want to represent or not realistic in their demands, but their voices must be heard. Good parents know that just forbidding particular behaviors does not prevent their children from finding ways to engage in these forbidden activities. Indeed, sometimes the forbidden fruit is more inviting, just because it is not accepted by authority. Parents must work with their children to educate them on the facts, know as much as possible about he lives of their children, provide a good example, encourage more wholesome activities but also support their children when they don’t follow what is expected of them. But the most important point is that they also need to learn how to let go. 文章大意：这是一篇议论文。培养孩子是每个家长的职责，过度的关爱和限制不利于下一代成长，因此家 长要学会放手。 41．By saying “Revolutions are led by the young”, the author indicates that young people are more .
