第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）
A
If you're in Florence, Italy, and see a man on a ladder wiping the dust off statues and buildings, don't worry．It's just Alessandro Ricci gathering material for his famous smog paintings．
Ricci is not a common artist, because he used smog as the main medium of his artworks． Unlike other painters seeking fast recognition of their talent, he doesn't really care about "being this big artist"．Instead he is more concerned about bringing attention to how much smog there really is in his home town and how it's destroying both its monuments and people．
Although he did take a couple of art classes a few years back, he is mainly self-taught, doesn't work in a studio, donates most of his work, and refuses to play by the rules of the Florentine Art Gallery, which he considers corrupt．Alessandro Ricci believes selling his smog paintings will not only compromise his principles, but also contradict the very thing he's trying to do-raise awareness about smog pollution in this city．
Alessandro lives with his parents nearby Florence, but almost every day he visits the streets of the city, and collects smog for his paintings．He gets it from several meters above ground, from clean surfaces like marble, plastic and stone, using damp pieces of cotton．Then he applies the smog directly onto a cloth and creates street scenes and reproductions of the very buildings from which he got the dangerous material．Finally, he seals his paintings with a natural resin （树脂）．
His actions helped win a small victory for the people of Florence, as in October 25, 2012 the Duomo area of the city was made pedestrian-only．But there is still a long way to go, the artist believes, and only cleaning the thick layer of smog that has accumulated throughout Florence would take several years．Still, he continues to paint his unique smog artworks and let the people know how polluted the environment they live in really is．
56．What does the text mainly tell us?
A．Florentine artist fights pollution by painting with smog．
B．Ricci invents a unique way to paint buildings in Florence．
C．People in Florence gather smog to create street scenes．
D．Florence takes measures to improve the polluted city．
57．In what way is Ricci quite different from other artists?
A．He lacks talent in art work． B．He cares little about fame．
C．He hates all the art Galleries． D．He likes to do things at will．
58．Ricci paints his unique smog artworks aiming to_____．
A．fight government corruption B．advertise the monuments
C．create more street scenes D．raise awareness about pollution
59．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．The place where Ricci lives． B．The problem that Florence faces．
C．The way Riccis paints with smog． D．The materials for his painting．
60．We can learn from the last paragraph that____．
A．Duomo area of Florence has become more crowded with traffic
B．Ricci's action has brought no change to the people of Florence
C．Ricci will continue to raise Florentine people's awareness about pollution
D．Smog pollution in Florence will be completely settled in several years
B
You don't need to get in a time-traveling machine to see how technology will reshape our ives, such as the way we shop．Several new technologies that are to change your buying habits lready exist．Let's see what's in store for your future shopping．
Try it on, virtually （虚拟的）．Want to shop online for a new pair of eyeglasses? You don't eed to guess which pair looks best on you 梪se the eBay Fashion iPhone app （程序） to try a pair of eyewear you're checking out on a picture of your face．But what if you want to buy something bigger? Thanks to Microsoft Kinect's motion tracking camera, you can cover clothes on your screen body．You can even choose the background of your virtual fitting room to enrich your shopping experience．
Get a perfect, custom fit．Everyone's body is shaped differently．To get a perfect fit, you sometimes have to get your clothes changed．But by using 3D scanning technology, all the clothes you buy will fit your body perfectly．Some companies scan your body using High-tech to get the most accurate measurements, so they can make special clothes just for you．
High-tech shopping carts and checkout counters．High-tech shopping carts could, in time, be a common sight in malls and supermarkets．Microsoft Kinect-enabled carts are currently under test．The cart can follow you along the aisles （通道）, controlled merely by your movement and your voice．In China, a supermarket chain introduced tablet-equipped carts that guide shoppers around the stores' aisles．
In the United States, several supermarkets use a device called Scan It that gives buyers the freedom to scan purchases on their own while they shop．While it's great not having to line up at a checkout counter, we wouldn't mind it if the store used Toshiba's new Object Recognition Scanner．The machine identifies a product as soon as it's placed in front of a camera just by its shape and color, even if it has no bar code．
61．What's the best title for this text?
A．Ways for future shopping B．Influence of new technology

Bouvier said the 18-year-old approached him and asked how far it was to 10th and Sherman, Bouvier said the distance was at least seven miles, so he told Reagan that he would be better off taking a bus instead of walking, especially considering the freezing temperature．Reagan said "thank you" and kept on his way to the job interview．
Later, Bouvier and his wife were driving to grab coffee, and they came across Reagan again -still walking．So they offered him a ride．Reagan shared with the couple that he was on his way to a shop to interview for a job, and he did not have money for bus fare．Reagan also shared that his mother had passed away and he was left to care for his two younger sisters．After his mom died a couple of years ago, he ended up dropping out of high school without obtaining a diploma．
After hearing the teen's story, Bouvier told Reagan that even if he was offered the shop job, he would hire him and double his salary．Bouvier was impressed with the teen's ambition and work ethic （道德）．Reagan accepted the job．He cannot believe how everything turned out for him, saying, "I'm just too excited, just excited to start．"

Fahad Azad, an engineer in India, invented a robot named DuctBot．The toy-car sized DuctBot measured 23 centimeters in length, 19 centimeters in width and 9 centimeters in height and weighs just two kilograms．
The robot is designed to snake through dark, narrow air conditioning ducts （管道） and clean them．A pair of LEDs fitted on the robot light up the dirty scenery, so_it_can be captured （抓拍） by a camera．
In order to control it more easily, Mr．Azad chooses to fix DuctBot on wheels．The robot can clean off lots of dirt, as well as dead pigeons and insects．Keeping indoor air in good quality and monitoring carbon-dioxide levels in buildings with central air conditioning is a challenge．It is important in some places where clean air can mean a difference between life and death, such as hospitals．Dirty air has a bad influence on people's health．
EPSCO, a Dubai-based company which specializes in improving indoor air quality, read about Mr．Azad's invention in a national newspaper after he had won an international robotics competition．EPSCO had cleaning equipment, but it needed someone to get into those ducts to do the dirty, dangerous work．Across India, for example, the task still falls to children．They are small enough to go through those ducts．
In 2005, Mr．Azad who was still at university decided to do something about it．Six years later his own company, Robosoft Systems, has Bluestar, EPSCO and the Indian Navy, some leading air condition makers, as partners．
Mr．Azad and his ten employees are currently exploring robot designs to examine oil tanks or sewage （污水．） pipes．Their biggest challenge is to make the robots user-friendly enough．Mr． Azad hopes that the robot could eventually be operated not by engineers but by workers．There will be lots of difficulties they need to overcome in the future．

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。（请注意问题后的字数要求）
[1] When a 14-year-old boy from Atlanta, Georgia disappeared earlier this year, his mother turned to her smartphone for clues （线索） using an app called Family Tracker．It is one app that allows parents to track the location of their children．
[2] "You can see where your loved ones are without having to call or bother them," said Roberta Franceschetti, the creators of the Family Tracker．Parents can track the location of their child on a map, send messages, and even sound an alarm on the phone remotely．"We have an option for the sender to make a very loud, noisy sound．We repeat that sound every two minutes until the person picks up," he said．
[3] Parents don't need to own a smartphone to track their children．The service is also accessible via the web, as long as the phone that is being tracked is running the app．
[4] The service was used to find the missing boy in Atlanta．"With an agreement, we keep all the locations where people have been on our servers．You can see where your kid has been for the past two weeks．You can find out ______ at a certain time, or when that person was at a specific place," Franceschetti explained．
[5] "When somebody gets abducted （绑架）, usually whoever does this throws the phone away or takes the battery out．We were hoping that our app would at least provide information on where the person was abducted or where they had been in the past, that way the police would have a history or some clues as to who they may have been seeing．"
