It seems that I have been more dramatically affected by certain kinds of travel experiences than I ever have.My trip to Iceland is a fine examp
11、le of that. The plan was to spend two days in a remote mountain hut in Iceland. I was working on a photographic book about winter in Iceland and needed to capture images of this amazing region of high mountain peaks, smoky volcanoes, and lakes with floating icebergs.The moment after we arrived, the
12、weather turned extreme making visibility impossible. It snowed so much and the wind blew so hard that we couldnt leave the tiny hut. To stay warm, we walked around in circles much of the day inside the tiny hut. We tried to call for help but the radio did not work. Day after day, we watched our supp
13、lies of food and fuel grow dangerously short. We got acute cabin fever (幽居病) and started going for walks and ski expeditions outside. Even when the weather finally broke, nobody came to get us even though it was three days beyond our scheduled pickup. By the time the rescue team came to pull us out,
14、 we had all given up hope. From then on, the world looks different to me, as does my life. It would have taken me years of psychotherapy to get to the same point.Almost everyone has a story to tell, and interestingly, most of these experiences were not altogether pleasant at the time. In fact, it ap
15、pears that the most constructive life-changing journeys were those that involved some sorts of awful and uncomfortable events that forced the person to develop new resources, increase confidence, and solve problems in new ways.21.

19、ay become life-changing events that inspire people.BOne of Indias top engineering schools has restricted Internet access in its boarding houses, saying addiction to surfing, gaming and blogging was affecting students performance, making them lonely and even suicidal.Authorities at the best Indian In
20、stitute of Technology (IIT) in Mumbai said students had stopped socializing and many were late for morning classes or slept through them. “Now, a student doesnt even know who lives two doors away from him because he is so busy on the Internet,” said Prakash Gopalan, dean of Student Affairs. “The old
21、 dormitory culture of companionship and socializing among students is gone. This is not healthy in our opinion.”IIT-Mumbai, with about 5,000 students, is one of the seven IITs across India which are considered to be among the finest engineering schools in the world. They are also a talent pool for g
22、lobal technology giants. But their hard courses, tough competition and lonely campus lifestyle have taken an effect on students. Depressive and dysfunctional lifestyles are known to be common among IIT students, and at least nine have committed suicide in the past five years. Students have unlimited
23、 free Internet access in their boarding houses to help them in their studies, but many also use it to surf, chat, download movies and music, blog and for gaming.“Starting Monday, Internet access will be banned between 11 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. at IIT-Mumbais 13 boarding buildings to encourage students
24、to sleep early and to try and force them out of their shells.” Gopalan said. But the move has not gone down well with students who say they hate their lives being regulated. “Now they will say we need to listen to a lullaby (摇篮曲) to go to sleep.” said Rajiv, an electronics student. 25.

25、the text, the students addicted to the Internet in IIT-Mumbai are likely to _.A. perform well in studies B. participate in social activitiesC. know their classmates better D. feel lonely and even suicidal26.

28、arents, surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to thumb rides, and not just to school. Its awkward to be refused when you call a friend and ask for a ride. But with Twitter, you just look for other people heading the same way. It may sound risky, so many teens stay within their own soci
29、al circles to find rides, and dont branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter just like me, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern.“I think the digital connection of young people is really key, because younger generations grew up sh
30、aring things on line, sharing files, photos, music, etc, so theyve been very used to sharing,” said Juliet Schor, a sociology professor at Boston College. The sharing economy got big during the recession (经济衰退), allowing people to access more goods, services using technology and even to share costs.
31、 And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom, like what my friend Earl says, “The symbol of freedom isnt the car any more because theres technology out there connecting you to a car.”According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago,
32、eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a drivers license compared to six in ten today. So its not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasnt rushing to get a license but an iPhone.“Driving, for young people, does mean they have to disconnect from their technology, and thats a negative. So if t
33、hey could sit in the passage side and still be connected, thats going to be a plus.” Schor continued.To me, another plus is that ridesharing represents something, something much bigger than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their
34、cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar. For the system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle, you can find me on Twitter. 29. The American teens like me, prefer to possess an iPhone as a birthday gift because
35、 _.A. it is most fashionable and cool B. they are bored with driving cars C. they are fond of being connected D. it is much cheaper than a car30. We can learn from the text that _.A. Twitter is a website for teens to make friends and achieve goalsB. ridesharing can be seen as a sign that people stil
36、l count on each other C. driving cars for teens means a plus and connecting with technology D. having a car and cost-sharing symbolize more freedom for the authors mother 31. Professor Juliet would agree that _. A. young people will sit waiting to be contacted by reading a passage B. sharing economy
37、 is bound to be responsible for the recessionC. young people tend to share a car with strangers by means of Twitter D. being connected via technology comes first for young people 32. The best title for the passage is probably _.A. Twitter, an Awesome Website B. Cars or iPhoneC. Teens Use Twitter to
38、Thumb Rides D. Cool Teens on the Go DNews that Microsoft made a $44.6 billion bid to buy Yahoo resulted in heated discussions made by many Internet users. Here are some responses:Diane Burke of Weeks bury, KentuckyI think it would definitely be an interesting combination. Everyone recognizes the nam
39、es Yahoo and Microsoft, but everyone also says, “Did you Google it?” Such a catchphrase (时髦话) is going to be hard to beat.Shaun Carney of Laurelville, OhioI think the merger (合并) will provide more competitions for Google. I dont think the merger will allow Microsoft to develop faster than Google, th
40、ough. I believe the increased competition this merger brings will force Google to stay on top of its game by offering more fresh and original Internet tools and expanding on the tools it already offers.Toni Suarez of Hacienda Heights, CaliforniaI view the merger as a necessary element in preventing
41、a monopolization (垄断). Perhaps it would bring better high technology innovations to e-mail and help in researching and developing a better Internet! Rick R. of Edgewater, FloridaIt sounds like a disaster to me. If this were to happen, I would stop using my Yahoo e-mail account because I dont like th
42、e feeling of Microsoft spying upon my business. I will sign up for Google.Antonio Glosser of Kansas City, MissouriRight now, Yahoo offers a lot of features and tools at no cost for all different levels of Internet users. Microsoft seeks nothing but profit. Undoubtedly, theyll do nothing other than f
43、ind ways to start removing Yahoos formerly non-priced features. Microsofts greed will ruin the great thing that Yahoo currently is.33. How many companies are mentioned in the passage?A. One. B.

46、is is the perfect time to discuss some great English language literature to take on a long train journey. Before getting into the recommendations, you need to determine your English reading comprehension level. If youre at the beginner level, there are two options: reading a childrens book or readin
47、g a book that youve read in Chinese translation. _37_ If youre at the intermediate level, popular books like pop fiction, mysteries and thrillers are good options. For advanced readers, classic works of literature or modern prize winners (Nobel, Pulitzer) are good options._38_ When I pick up a book
48、I like, even though the first few chapters are really hard to get through, I would try to get accustomed to the language the author uses. Generally, after the first few chapters, things get a lot easier, especially if I get involved in the story. Another great way to keep yourself motivated is to fi
