10、offices still in Ivrea, near Turin, but the company is much larger than it was in those days and there are offices all around the world.By 1930 there was a staff of 700 and the company turned out 13,000 machines a year. Some went to customers in Italy, but Olivetti exported more typewriters to other

11、 countries.Camillos son, Adriano, started working for the company in 1924 and later he became the boss. He introduced a standard speed for the production line and he employed technology and design specialists. The company developed new and better typewriters and then calculators(计算机) .In 1959 it pro

12、duced the ELEA computer in Italy.After Adriano died in 1960, the company had a period of financial problems. Other companies, especially the Japanese, made faster progress in electronic technology than the Italian company.In 1978, Carlo de Benedetti became the new boss. Olivetti increased its markin

13、g and service networks and made agreements with other companies to design and produce more advanced office equipment. Soon it became one of the worlds leading companies in information technology and communications. There are now five independent companies in the Olivetti group one for personal compu

14、ters, one for Systems and services, and two for telecommunications.21. From the text we learn that _.A. by 1930 Olivetti produced 13,000 typewriters a yearB.

17、ttiC. The History of Olivetti D. The Production of OlivettiBNever Talk to Strangers?“Never talk to strangers.”Many children are taught this simple rule as a precaution against abduction(诱拐). In June, 2005, an 11-year-old boy was lost in the Utah wilderness for four days. During that time, he stayed

18、on the path. He saw people searching for him but deliberately hid from them, afraid someone might “steal” him. Eventually, the unfortunate game of hide-and-seek ended and he was found. According to the Canada Safety Council, this alarming incident shows how unwise it is to instill(灌输) a fear of stra

19、ngers in children. The “stranger danger” message can prevent children from developing the social skills and judgment needed to deal effectively with real-life situations. In a difficult situation, a stranger could be their lifeline to safety.To have a child go missing is a parents worst nightmare. T

20、he threat of abduction by a stranger is minimal when compared with other possible reasons for a disappearance. In 2004, there were 67,266 missing-children cases in Canada. Only 31 involved abduction; in most of those cases the abductor was a relative, friend, or person known to the family. There wer

21、e 671 cases of children wandering off, and 332 cases of abductions by a parent. Almost 80 percent of all cases were runaways. These statistics cast doubt on the idea that children should never talk to strangers. Wandering off is more common but a lost children may have to call upon a stranger for he

22、lp, and must develop the ability to judge what kind of people to approach. The “never talk to strangers” rule does not protect children in the situations they are most likely to face. On top of this, it can be confusing. Adults do not model the behavior; they often talk to strangers. A child may not

23、 know how to tell who is a stranger, and who is not.For young children, nothing replaces close supervision(监管). Pre-schoolers do not understand risk and tend to act without thinking. Children need to develop habits and attitudes that will protect them from the real threats and dangers they may face.

24、 The Canada Safety Council encourages parents to give their children age-appropriate positive messages about safety, bearing in mind how youngsters may understand their world.25. Which of the following statements is NOT true about the 11-year-old boy?A. He practiced the “never talk to strangers” rul

25、e.B. He hid from the rescuers to avoid possible abduction.C. He eventually showed up when his hide-and-seek game ended.D. He stayed where he was, expecting the coming of familiar people.26. Among the possible reasons for the missing-children cases in Canada, which one is the most frequent?A. Being a

26、bducted by a parent.B. Wandering off.C. Being abducted by strangers.D. Running away.27. The “never talk to strangers” rule is confusing to children because _.A. a friendly and attractive person may be dangerousB. adults do not act upon the rule and strangers are hard to tellC. the rule does not prot

27、ect children in the situation of abductingD. a lost child may have difficulty in communicating with a stranger28. Which would the author agree with about the “never talk to strangers” rule?A. It is not well recognized by parents.B. It is not effective in keeping kids safe.C. It is easy enough for ch

28、ildren to follow.D. It is practical as a safety tip in daily life.CStudents and Technology in the ClassroomI love my blackberryits my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer, as it holds all of my writing and thoughts .Despite this love of t

29、echnology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these device and truly communicate with others.On occasion ,I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas.Because I

30、 want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom ,I have a rule no laptop,iPads,phones,etc .When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy .Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unplea

31、sant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. Theres a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology . Theres no truth in that at all . I love technology and try to keep up with it so I relate to my students.The real reason why I ask students to leave technol

32、ogy at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas . I want students to dig deep within themselves for

33、 inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between the course material and the class discussion .Ive been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create.

34、 Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom .Im not saying that I wont ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change. I will conti

35、nue my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.29. The underlined word “engage” in para.4 probably means _A. accept B. change C. explore D. reject 30. According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may _A.affect students concentration on course eva

36、luationB. help students to better understand complex themeC. encourage students to have in-depth conversationsD. keep students from doing independent thinking 31. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author _A. is quite stubborn. B. will give up teaching history C. values technology-f

37、ree dialogues in his classD. will change his teaching plan soon DWhich are you more likely to have with you at any given momentyour cell phone or your wallet ? Soon you may be able to throw your wallet away and pay for things with a quick wave of your smart phone over an electronic scanner.In Januar

38、y, Starbucks announced that customers could start using their phones to buy coffee in 6,800 of its stores. This is the first pay-by-phone practice in the U.S., but were likely to see more wireless payment alternatives as something called near field communication (NFC) gets into Americas consumer ele

39、ctronics. Last December some new smart phones which contain an NFC chip were introduced to the public.Already in use in parts of Asia and Europe, NFC allows shoppers to wave their phones a few inches above a paymentterminal-a contact-freesystem built for speed and convenience. But before NFC becomes

40、 widely adopted in the U.S., a few problems need to be worked out, like who will get to collect the profitable transaction（交易）fees. Although some credit card providers have been experimenting with wave-and-pay systems that use NFC-enabled credit cards, cellphone service providers may try to muscle t

41、heir way into the point-of-sale (POS) market. Three big cell phone service providers have formed a joint venture （合资企业）that will go into operation over the next 15 months. Its goal is “ to lead the U.S. payments industry from cards to mobile phones”.The other big NFC issue, apart from how payments w

42、ill be processed, is security. For instance, whats to stop a thief from digitally pick-pocketing you ? “ Were still not at the point where an attacker can just brush against you in a crowd and steal all the money out of your phone, ” says Jimmy Shah, a mobile-security researcher. “Users may also be

43、able to set transaction limits, perhaps requiring a password to be entered for larger purchases.”Still uneasy about this digital-wallet business? Keep in mind that if you lose your smart phone, it can be located on a map and remotely disabled. Plus, your phone can be password protected, your wallet

Cancel large purchases.第二节 七选五（共5小题，满分10分）Based on a study in 40 countries over 23 years, a group of researchers found that if the basic needs are

47、 covered, wealth does not lead to more happiness. They explained that with an increasing income, demands and expectations are rising as well.In Germany, for example, real income rose from 20, 000 euros in the 1980s to todays 34,000 euros, without an exact rise on happiness. My mother was born in the

48、 1950s. She worked in a factory for more than 20 years without annual holidays for an income of 1, 500 yuan per month. 36 Its unthinkable today for most of the young people in China. Even if wealth is rising in China, it doesnt necessarily mean you will be happier. So what can we do to contribute to

49、 our happiness?Set meaningful goals for yourself. Take a good long look at your life, your values, and the person you want to be. Set goals that are meaningful to you. 37 Face the world around you openly with a smile and in a good mood. A great way to train your brain to be happier is to actively ac

50、knowledge the beauty of small moments and turn them into memorable “experiences.” Notice a gorgeous sunny day or a compliment from a friend, then take a photo, write a journal or Facebook entry or make a short video.38 Researchers compared people who had the same number of close friends and found th

51、ose who had similar interests were more satisfied with their lives.Stay close to family. We live in a mobile society, where people follow jobs around the country and sometimes around the world. Why is it so? 39 But in fact our relationships with family members have a far greater impact on happiness.

52、 Look for the positive in all your experiences. It works like an echo：you get back what you send. 40 Theres always something we can worry about, but with the positive attitude “I will make it”you have made the first step.A. But she felt happy and contented.B. Make friends with those who share simila

53、r interests.C. We should smile to friends who are ready to help others.D. It isnt important for people to do things in a positive way.E. We do this because we think salary increases make us happier.F. To be positive can help you experience more positive things.G. Research suggests youre more likely
