22．（8分）SAN FRANCISCO(AP)-Samsung says new Galaxy Note 7 smartphones will be available in U.S. stones starting Wednesday to replace about 1 million devices that are being recalled because their batteries can catch fire. The South Korean company has been scrambling to fix problems caused by faulty batteries in the latest version of its top of the line smartphone which first went on sale last month.
When it first offered on Sept. 2 to replace the affected Note 7 phones Samsung said it would swap them for models of its other phones such as the Galaxy S7 until supplies of replacement Note 7 devices became available.
Samsung followed up last week by announcing that U.S. consumers who had purchased one of the recalled phones could choose between a replacement or a refund fro the device which sells for about $850. That offer was jointly announced with officials at the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission after Samsung was criticized for not coordinating more closely with the commission.
Safety officials have urged Note 7 owners to turn off their phones and return them immediately. They cited reports of Note 7 batteries overheating in the United States including 26 instances where individuals were burned and 55 that caused property damage.
The problem doesn’t affect all Note 7 phones because Samsung uses batteries from different suppliers. But the company has said about 2.5 million devices may be affected worldwide including 1 million sold in the United States.
Samsung also said it’s pushing out two software updates through wireless carriers. One will show a green battery icon to confirm that a Note 7 device is a new one that doesn’t have the battery problem. The other will display a short notice to owners of older phones covered by the recall telling them to turn off their device and take it in for a replacement.
About a quarter of affected phones had been exchanged in the United States by Tuesday According to a spokeswoman for Samsung’s U.S. subsidiary. She was unable to say how many Note 7 buyers sought refunds but said “the vast majority” received a different Samsung phone as a replacement.
1、What’s wrong with the affected Note 7 phones?
A．The price of them is too high.

B．Their batteries can catch fire.
C．They are similar to iphone 7.
D．They have problems with their earphones.
2、What can a U.S. consumer who had purchased one of the recalled phones do according to Samsung’s announcement?
A．To sell his/her recalled phone to others for about $850.
B．To choose a replacement and a refund for his/her recalled phone.
C．To use the recalled phone to replace a Galaxy S7 first and then one of the new Note 7 devices for free.
D．To return the recalled phone and get a replacement or a refund (about $850) for the device.
3、How many affected phones had been exchanged in the United States by Tuesday?
A．About 0.625 million.
B．About 0.25 million.
C．About 0.875 million.
D．About 1 million.
4、What can we learn from the passage?
A．At least 81 cases of Note 7 batteries overheating were reported in the United States.
B．The Note 7 phones sold in China are safe.
C．The Note 7 phones used batteries from different suppliers never have the  same problems.
D．The Galaxy S7 devices are the safest.
23．（8分）Flying for a long time, you finally arrive at the place where you can relax—your hotel room. Now you throwyour bag on the bed, turn on the TV and watch an international news programme on a satellite channel probably from UK or the USA．
The main international broadcasters are BBC World and CNN. With an audience of over 1.5 billion people, these are popular channels that offer good-quality news programmes. In both companies, the journalists are experienced writers that produce journalism of a high standard.
However, there are alternative news channels which people watch because they want a less traditional or non-Western view on world events. Russia Today and Al Jazeera International, an Arabic company, are international channels that broadcast in English. Both companies say they give a fresh view on big stories, and their experienced journalists often report from places where Western journalists do not work, and so they give us stories that we don’t normally see.
The Internet offers more variety. OneWorldTV is an Internet site where you can find stories about the developing world and human rights, rather than the usual stories about US politics and business. The writers for this company are often local people who write the stories for free. This non-professional journalism is increasing, and it certainly offers more choices.
This increase in citizen journalism means that you can write the news, too. Main news broadcasters often use photographs and stories that members of the general public send to them, especially when there is a dramatic breaking news story. Besides this, some blogs are popular sources of news, and the website NowPublic lets you write stories using information you can get from anywhere, including sites like Youtube, Flickr and Twitter.
1、The first paragraph is meant to .
A．offer a suggestion B．give a warning
C．explain a reason D．introduce the topic
2、It can be learned from the text that more and more people will .
A．prefer to read local news B．pay more attention to world news
C．start a career in citizen journalism D．give up watching TV news programmes
3、What would be the best title for the text?
A．The Latest Local News B．More Choices for News
C．The End of TV News D．Traditional World News
24．（8分） DNA analysis has revealed family relationships between more than 10 generations of Stone Age people at megalithic (巨石的) tombs in Ireland and Sweden.
The evidence suggests that megaliths, prehistoric large stone structures, sometimes acted as graves for family groups in northwestern Europe thousands of years ago. The latest findings throw new light on the origins and social structure of the groups that built megaliths in this region—a history that has long been hidden in mystery.
For their study, the international team of researchers analyzed the genomes—the complete set of genetic material in a cell—of 24 Stone Age individuals from five megalithic burial sites in Ireland, Scotland and Gotland, a large Swedish island in the Baltic Sea.
This analysis showed that many of the individuals buried at each megalith, who all lived between 3,800 B．C．and 2600 B．C．, according to radiocarbon-dating of their remains, were closely related via family ties.
The results also showed that the individuals buried at the megaliths were related to Neolithic farmers in northern and western Europe but genetically distinct from other hunter-gatherers. This was particularly noticeable at the Ansarve site on the island of Gotland.
“The people buried in the Ansarve tomb are remarkably different on a genetic level compared to the individuals dug out from hunter-gather contexts, showing that the burial tradition in this megalithic tomb, which lasted for over 700 years, was performed by distinct groups with roots in the European Neolithic expansion,” Magdalena Fraser, co-first author from Uppsala University, said in the statement.
1、What’s the significance of the new findings?
A．It reveals the family ties between people in Ireland and Sweden.
B．It implies that many people buried in the tombs were closely related.
C．It indicates the long-hidden mystery concerning DNA analysis.
D．It suggests that the megaliths became tombs thousands of years ago.
2、How did the researchers reach their findings?
A．By interviewing individuals. B．By travelling to different regions.
C．By analyzing genes. D．By studying the burial sites.
3、Which is true according to the latest findings?
A．Some people buried in the tombs were related to farmers.
B．Few people buried in the tombs were genetically different.
C．All the people buried at megaliths had family relationships.
D．People buried in the Ansarve tomb were dug out 700 years later.
4、What’s the main idea of this passage?
A．Megaliths served as tombs thousands of years ago.
B．People buried at the megaliths were recently analyzed.
C．Latest findings shed light on a mystery about burials.
D．Stone-Age people in Ireland and Sweden had close ties.
25．（10分）The first six months I was married, I truly wanted to scream and pull my hair out. My husband and I really had some all-out battles about his parents (regarding finances, where we would live, religious issues, etc.). Unfortunately, he was completely oblivious to how I felt or that anything was truly wrong. When I was going through all of this with my husband, I really felt so alone. I thought I was crazy/selfish to feel that way and often blamed myself. At first, I called him a Mama’s Boy and told him I felt like I was a low priority to him. This, of course, did not go over well... so I changed my direction.
I’ve been married for three years now, and Jenna’s book played a big role in gaining my husband’s loyalty. I started out by making a decision that I would not berate (责怪) my husband for his family’s actions. After all, he can’t help what his relatives do, and to blame him for other people’s actions wouldn’t really be fair. Secondly, I made a resolution that I would NEVER let them create an argument or problem between my husband and me... this was really a groundbreaking moment for me. After all, it was in my power to
