There really are apps for everything, and some could end up saving your life.
What3 words
This free download is one of a growing number of smartphone apps that could mean the difference
between life and death. What3 words divides the world into 3×3 metre squares, giving each one a unique
combination of three words. This allows emergency services — or anyone else you give the location to —to
reach you if you have an Internet connection. It is used by emergency services in the UK and other countries
and has saved thousands of lives.
Whats App
Lots of us use Whats App for messaging and calling, but do you know it also has a Live Location feature
that can let a loved one know your whereabouts in case you’re in danger? You can simply press the “+” key
in a chat, select “Location”, and then press “Share Live Location”, which enables any participant in the chat
to see your location in real time for the period you choose.
Stay Alive
With mental health problems on the increase, this suicide prevention app could be extremely helpful.
Developed by Grassroots Suicide Prevention, it offers a wealth of resources, ranging from ways of staying
calm when you feel upset or have other bad moods, to breathing exercises and direct links to national and
local crisis resources. And this app doesn’t ask for an Internet connection to get the information.
St John Ambulance First Aid
An app like this is more useful for saving someone else’s life than your own, but it’s a must-have on
your smartphone. It gives advice on dealing with emergencies, including choking, allergic reactions and
performing CPR. You don’t have to have an Internet connection in order to use it.

When Columbus ‘sailed the ocean blue in 1492’ he wasn't looking for America, he was searching for a
route from Spain to China; America just got in the way.
The Spanish were after the riches of Asia: silk, dates, spices. Until later adventurers discovered how to
sail to the Far East, trade with China depended on the Silk Road. The trade between China and Europe
brought huge wealth, so the Spanish had a strong desire to find a new way to the East. Eventually a way
appeared; as sea traffic developed from the 17th Century onwards, the overland route diminished.
Now China is seeking to revive(复兴)the Silk Road and is preparing to invest 4 trillion pounds in new
roads, rail links, oil pipelines and other basic facilities. It is hoped that goods can be shipped westwards by
land far more quickly and economically than by sea.
But the plan is also to attract more tourists. Actually, China does pretty well for tourists already; it's the
world's fourth most visited country. Two cities — Beijing and Shanghai—possess the tourism business, with
significant interest in destinations such as Xi'an and Chengdu. While Beijing is modern, cities such as
Lanzhou and Dunhuang have one foot planted firmly in old China.
Other places featured include Xi'an, the former capital of China, where you can come face to face with
the Terracotta Army built to protect China's first emperor in the afterlife. From Lanzhou tour members take
the train to Jiayuguan, China's western gateway and a key location on the Silk Road.
There is also a fourday coach journey along the original Silk Route through the Xinjiang region to
Kashgar. Along the way, at Kurla, you can visit the ruins of the Iron Fortress.
12. What does the underlined word “diminished” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Discovered. B. Disappeared.
C. Disturbed. D. Displayed.
13. What is the purpose of reviving the Silk Road?
A. To rebuild the ruins of the Iron Fortress.
B. To construct new roads and other basic structures.
C. To make transportation westwards faster and cheaper.
D. To draw more inland tourists' attention to the western gateway.
14. What can we learn about the Silk Road?
A. It is nothing but a trade route.
B. It may destroy some cities' ancient style.
C. It attracts foreign investment of ￡4 trillion.
D. It promotes the tourism industry of China.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. The charming of the Silk Road
B. The function of the Silk Road
C. The origin of the Silk Road
D. The future of the Silk Road
第二节 (共5小题;每小题 2分,满分 10 分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
All of us know that a balanced diet strengthens the immune system. 16 . The following strategies will
help you to jump-start healthy eating habits.
Morning must-haves
Researchers at Harvard Medical School discovered that people who took daily breakfast were a third
less likely to become obese( 肥 胖 ) than those who skipped this meal. To enjoy the most benefits, the
researchers recommended eating whole-grain foods for breakfast as they are rich in fiber. 17 .
Main meal wisdom
If you need to consume meat, choose fish instead of red meat. Studies have linked high consumption of
red meat with cancers such as breast and colorectal cancer as well as heart disease mainly because red meat is
very high in saturated(饱和的) fats. 18 .
Food preparation
19 . As such, cooking methods such as steaming, baking, grilling, boiling or stir-frying are advised.
