Some in the city can't wait to try them on and use the maps and GPS that the futuristic eyewear is likely to include." I'd use it if I were hanging out with friends at 3 a. m. and going to the bar and wanted to see what was open," said Walter Choo, 40, of Fort Greene.The smartphone-like glasses will likely come out this year and cost between $250 and $600,the Times said, possibly including a variation of augmented(增强的) reality, a technology already available on smartphones and tablets (平板电脑) that overlays information onto the screen about one's surroundings. So, for example, if you were walking down a street, indicators would pop up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you.“As f ar as a mainstream consumer product, this just isn't something anybody needs," said Sam Biddle, who writes for . " We're accustomed to having one thing in our pocket to do all these things," he added, "and the average consumer isn't gonna be able to afford another device (装置) that's hundreds and hundreds of dollars. "9to5 Google publisher Seth Weintraub, who has been reporting on the smartphone-like glasses since late last year, said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as common as smartphones."It's just like smartphones 10 years ago," Weintraub said. "A few people started getting emails on their phones, and people thought that was crazy. Same kind of thing. We see people bending their heads to lo ok at their smartphones, and it's unnatural," he said. “There’s going to be improvements to that and this step there.”60.

She attended the government school near her home until she was 18. At that time, some doctors and nurses from Yugoslavia were working in India, and they often wrote to the school about their work. She decided to join them one day.When she finished school, she went first to Britain. Then a year later she went to India, where she began to train to be a teacher. After training, she was sent to Calcutta, where she taught geography at a school and soon after became headmistress.However, although she loved teaching, in 1949, Mother Teresa left the school and went to work in the poor parts of Calcutta. Later she was trained to become a nurse in Patna, and then began her work helping the poor and comforting（安慰）the dying in the streets of the city. Slowly, others came to help her, and her work spread to other parts of India.Mother Teresa is now a well-known person. Many photos have been taken of as she travels the world to open new schools and hospitals in poor countries. In 1979, she was given the Nobel Peace Prize for the lifetime of love and service she has given to the poor.64.

Many people call this plant a tree, but it is a kind of grass.Like other kinds of grass, a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground, but it will grow back very quickly. A Japanese scientist recorded one bamboo plant that grew almost 1.5 meters in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe. There are more than 1,000 kinds of bamboo that grow around the world on both mountains and plains(平原).Not all bamboo looks the same. Some bamboo plants are very thin. They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across. This plant also comes in different colors, from yellow to black to green.Many Asian countries have been using bamboo for hundreds of years. They often use bamboo for building new buildings. As a matter of fact, the cables(绳索) that hold up the hanging bridge across the Min River in Sichuan are made of bamboo. The bridge has been in use for more than 1,000 years, and is still holding strong.In Africa, engineers are teaching poor farmers how to find water using bamboo. These African countries need cheap ways to find water because they have no money, and their fields often die from no rain and no water. It seems that bamboo is one of the best things they can use. Bamboo pipes and drills(钻) can help to make the poor thirsty fields to be watered.68. How is bamboo like grass?A. It is thin and easy to cut.B. It grows quickly after its cut shortC. It grows everywhe re.D. It is short and green.69. The sentence “while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across.” means “Some other bamboo plants may grow to be very _______.”A. shortB. thickC. strongD. tall70. From the text we know ______.A. most people call bamboo plant treesB. a bamboo plant may grow 4.5 meters in three daysC. the bamboo plant changes its colors when it growsD. a bridge held by bamboo cable was built thousands of years ago71. Which of the following is NOT true?A. There are many different kinds of bamboo with different colors.B. Cables made of bam boo can last for over a thousand years.C. Bamboo can be used for buildings, bridges and watering projects (工程).D. Bamboo plants are able to grow well in any part of the world.EOne of the keys to being successful in what you do is persistence（坚持）. Once you have determined exactly what you want to achieve, you must take massive action on a constant basis in order to succeed.One of the things you'll notice on your journey towards your goal is roadblocks. That is, you will come across obstacles( 障碍 ) that seem to jump out of nowhere in an attempt to discourage your progress. Actually, they are a part of life. Everyone would have every success that they ever wanted if there were no obstacles. Your job is to be persistent and work through obstacles. If you find little or no obstacles along the way, you are not really challenging yourself. And when you do reach your goal, you won’t exp erience the feeling of "sweet success". Make your goal a challenging one!If you take the time to study a successful person, you will learn that the vast majority of them have had more “failures” than they have had “successes”. This is because successful people are persistent; the more they stumble（摔倒）, the more they get right back up and try again. On the other hand, people who don’t get back up and try again never reach success. For example, Walt Disney was turned down 302 times before he got financing for his dream of creating the "Happiest P lace on Earth". Today, due to his persistence, millions of people have shared "the joy of Disney". Colonel Sanders spent two years driving across the United States looking for restaurants to buy his chicken recipe. He was turned down 1,009 times! How successful is Kentucky Fried Chicken today!Having known these facts, keep in mind that you must constantly reevaluate（再评估）your circumstances and the approach you are using to reach your goal. There is no sense in being persistent at something that you are doing incorrectly! Sometimes you have to modify your approach along the way. Every time you do something you learn from it, and therefore find a better way to do it the next time.Today is the day to begin your journey, using consistency and persistency, towards tomorrow's successes!72 The author seems to believe that .A. “sweet succes s” comes along with obstaclesB. we will reach our goal by challenging ourselvesC. the more obstacles we have, the better we feelD. challenges we come across are rewarding73 The reason why persistent people are successful is that .A. they experience a lot of failuresB. they are born to be very stubbornC. they don’t give up in face of failureD. they have great ambitions in mind74 Why did Colonel Sanders spend two years driving across the United States?A. To taste different foods and find special recipes.B. To find restaurants and sell recipes for fried chicken.C. To count the number of restaurant in America.D. To open more Kentucky Fried Chicken chain stores.75 What does the author advise us to do in Paragraph 4?A. To modify your approach from time to time.B. To confirm whether your goal is practical.C. To change our circumstances constantly.D. To learn from our past mistakes.第II卷(非选择题满分35分)第四部分写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节：任务型读写, 每个空格只填一个单词。
