We would watch game shows in the living room. Our favorite was The Price is Right. We would call out our answers along with the contestants.‎ When I got older and started going to school, we couldn’t watch our game shows regularly. That was okay with me, though, because the one thing I liked better than watching game shows with my grandmother was helping her bake. Watching her in the kitchen was amazing: she never seemed to need the recipes but everything she made tasted delicious.‎ At first I would just sit in the kitchen and watch, even though I didn’t understand what she was doing. As I got older, she let me help with the easy parts, such as measuring the sugar. The day she let me separate the eggs，I felt like I had found complete pleasure.‎ At last, my parents decided that I could take care of myself，and my grandmother stopped coming over every day. The love of baking, however, stayed with me. I ‎ started baking by myself, and even if the cookies ended up burnt sometimes, more often they turned out pretty well. I tried out new recipes, and whenever I got to a thorny part, I would call my grandmother for advice. Sometimes I would call her just to talk, too. I felt like I could talk to her about anything.‎ My grandmother passed away ten years ago, but I still think of her every day. Last week, I found a recipe book she made for me. It included her recipes for brownies, cookies, and my favorite, lemon pie. As I looked through the pages, I thought I could hear her voice. She was the one who taught me not just about baking, but about life.‎ ‎24. The passage is developed in order of .‎ A. time B. place C. logic D. events ‎25. While helping her grandmother bake, the author .‎ A. missed the game shows B. refused to go to school ‎ C. showed great interest D. could take care of herself ‎26. What does the underlined word “thorny" in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?‎ A. Basic. B. Common. C. Difficult. D. Special.‎ ‎27. From the passage we know the author's grandmother .‎ A. lived with her family B. was very skilled at baking C. published a recipe book D. had been on a game show C While Jennifer was at home taking an online exam for her business law class, a monitor（监控器）a few hundred miles away was watching her every move. ‎ Using a web camera equipped in Jennifer’s Los Angeles apartment, the monitor in Phoenix tracked how frequently her eyes moved from the computer screen and listened for the secret sounds of a possible helper in the room. Her Internet access was locked — remotely — to prevent Internet searches, and her typing style was analyzed to make sure she was who she said she was: Did she enter her student number at the same speed as she had in the past? Or was she slowing down?‎ In the battle against cheating, this is the cutting edge and a key to encouraging honesty in the booming field of online education. The technology gives trust to the entire system, to the institution and to online education in general. Only with solid measures against cheating, experts say, can Internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are valid（ 有效的） — that students haven’t just searched the Internet to get the right answers.‎ Although online classes have existed for more than a decade, the concern over cheating has become sharper in the last year with the growth of “open online courses”. Private colleges, public universities and corporations are jumping into the online education field, spending millions of dollars to attract potential students, while also taking steps to help guarantee honesty at a distance.‎ Aside from the web cameras, a number of other high-tech methods are becoming increasingly popular. Among them are programs that check students’ identities using personal information, such as the telephone number they once used.‎ ‎28. Why was Jennifer watched in an online exam?‎ A. To correct her typing mistakes.‎ B. To find her secrets in the room.‎ C. To prevent her from slowing down. ‎ D. To keep her from dishonest behaviors.‎ ‎29. The underlined expression “cutting edge” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.‎ A. advanced technique B. sharpening tool ‎ C. effective rule D. dividing line ‎30. For Internet universities, exams and diplomas will be valid （ 有效的）if _____.‎ A. they can attract potential students ‎ B. they can defeat academic cheating C. they offer students online help ‎ D. they offer many online courses ‎31. What is the best title of this passage?‎ A. The Advantages of Online Exams ‎ B. The High-tech Methods in Online Courses C. The Fight against Cheating in Online Education ‎ D. The War against the Booming of Online Education D In today's world of smart phones and laptops, most people have at least one time-telling thing with them. Since these digital products are so common, is time running out for the 500-year-old watch? According to some consumers, the answer is yes. New Jersey teenager Charlie Wollman says a watch is “an extra piece of equipment with no necessary function.” Many young adults think so and use their smart phones to tell time. It is said that fewer young people wear watches today than ‎ ten years ago. As a result, some people say that the watch industry is at a crossroads.‎ ‎ However, watchmakers optimistically say that watches redeem popularity when consumers reach their 20s and 30s. By then, they are willing to spend money on a quality watch that doesn’t just keep good time. Fifty years ago, watchmakers took pride in their products’ accuracy. But in recent years, the watch industry has changed itself into an accessory(配饰) business. And today, the image a watch conveys has become more important than the time it tells.‎ ‎ “Complications” — features that go beyond simple timekeeping — are an important part of a watch’s image. Today’s watches offer lots of features that meet almost any personality. These features include compasses, USB drivers, and even other functions that measure the effectiveness of golf swings!‎ ‎ Creativity also plays a key role in designing today’s watches. For example, Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash makes watches that don’t even look like watches. The company’s popular Shinshoku model uses different color lights to tell time. It looks more like a fashionable bracelet than a watch.‎ ‎ Whether a watch conveys fashion sense, creative talent or a love of sports, consumers want their watches to stand out. Nowadays, everyone has the same kind of gadget（小玩意） in their bags, so people want to make a statement with what’s on their wrists. Will this interest in wrist fashion last? Only time will tell!‎ ‎32. What can we know from the first paragraph?‎ ‎ A. As most people see, watches are out of fashion. ‎ ‎ B. Some people feel that watches have been of no use. ‎ ‎ C. The watch industry will close down sooner or later.‎ ‎ D. There are so many choices of watches for teenagers today. ‎ ‎33. According to the passage, what image does a watch convey nowadays?‎ ‎ A. It simply tells time. ‎ ‎ B. It appeals to many teenagers. ‎ ‎ C. It has many complex functions.‎ ‎ D. It has an impact on creativity and imagination.‎ ‎34. Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash is mentioned in Paragraph 4 to _________.‎ ‎ A. show why Shinshoku watches are popular ‎ ‎ B. advertise Shinshoku watches made by Tokyoflash ‎ ‎ C. tell that today’s watches need more imagination ‎ ‎ D. make a comparison between watches and bracelets ‎35. What may be the best title for the passage?‎ ‎ A. Watches Tell More Than Time ‎ ‎ B. Japanese Watches Stand Out ‎ ‎ C. Watch Industry Is in a Bad Situation ‎ D. Watches Are Becoming Less Popular ‎ 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。‎ Cycling is a good form of sports, here are some tips on how to do it safely and comfortably.‎ ‎___36___.
