11.After researching the history of the Vietnam War,I called my mum and asked her if she knew anyone who went to Vietnam that I could interview.She thought for a while and suddenly remembered that she has a cousin who is a veteran of the Vietnam War.
She says,"I know him since I was little.He was one of the greatest athletes of the school.You can not imagine how good and fast he was.Well,he was ranked number 18in the country for being an outstanding track and field runner.But now,those things are only memories."
I called him and introduced myself.He was in an agreeable mood at the beginning,but as soon as I began to question him,his attitude changed."What happened in Vietnam?"I asked.There was a moment of silence on the other line,and then he said he was willing to tell me about Vietnam.
He said that he was drafted when he was 20years old and that the two years later he spent there a part of his life he would rather forget.He said,"The problem is that you will never imagine how much suffering and pain I saw in that place."There is not one book or article that can really describe the human disaster that took place there.There is nothing worse in this world than killing a man who you know has a family.It is very sad,but it is the truth,and it turns more complex when you realize you were part of that truth.
When I returned to Puerto Rico,it was a total disaster:young kids without fathers,wives without husbands.Most of those who made it back have no legs,like me,or no arms.I was praised because of my bravery,but for me,that was and is pure nonsense,because that war decided my future,decided the future of my family.I,now,am just a veteran who has nothing.
The thing that bothers me the most is that the people who decided to fight will probably never know that it is likely to kill a man,or feel pain and suffering from hunger and the absence of love.In war,every minute you are fearing because the only thing you have in your mind is that if you don't kill first you are going to get killed.

66.Why did the author's mother say"Those things are only memories"?C
A.Because she would rather keep what happened in the past as a secret.
B.Because her cousin is no longer a vigorous young man.
C.Because though her cousin was a good runner,he lost his leg during the war.
D.Because time passed quickly and she can't remember much of the past days.
67.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the 4th paragraph?D
A.Books and articles all presented a false picture of the war.
B.It takes mental strength to survive the war.
C.The sufferings during the war greatly damaged the memory of soldiers,
D.The author's uncle felt very painful when he realized the truth of the war.
68.Why did the author's uncle find the praises"pure nonsense"?B
A.Because praises came too late.
B.Because no praise could make up for his loss.
C.Because he didn't kill anyone during the war.
D.Because too many praises seemed worthless.
69.What can we infer from the last paragraph?C
A.Those who decide to fight should take part in the war by themselves.
B.The veterans could stand any hardship in their life after the war.
C.Those who made the war should be severely blamed.
D.Firing first is the best policy on the battlefield.

分析 本文主要講述了作者的母親回憶了自己的表哥在年輕的時候身體健壯并且擅長各種體育運動,但他在越南戰(zhàn)爭中失去了雙腿.此外,退役老兵講到自己直到親身經(jīng)歷了越南戰(zhàn)爭才發(fā)現(xiàn)戰(zhàn)爭是如何地殘酷.由此引發(fā)作者的感慨,發(fā)動戰(zhàn)爭的決定者應(yīng)該受到譴責(zé).

解答 66.C推理判斷題.根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容可知,作者的母親在回憶了自己的兄弟在年輕的時候身體健壯并且擅長各種體育運動,然后感嘆"Those things are only memories"--這些僅僅是回憶.根據(jù)后文我們可以知道這個越南戰(zhàn)爭的退役老兵失去了雙腿,所以以前年輕時健壯的身體再也沒有了.故選C.
67.D理解概括題.根據(jù)第四段的內(nèi)容可知,退役老兵講到自己直到親身經(jīng)歷了越南戰(zhàn)爭才發(fā)現(xiàn)戰(zhàn)爭是如何地殘酷,這是其他任何書上都沒有描述過的,親身體驗帶給他強烈的真實感受.故選D.
68.B細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段because that war decided my future,decided the future of my family.I,now,am just a veteran who has nothing.可知作者對老兵的肯定與贊揚彌補不了他的傷痛和損失.故選B.
69.C推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段的內(nèi)容可知,決定發(fā)動這場戰(zhàn)爭的人肯定沒有想過戰(zhàn)爭給人們帶來的傷害多么沉重,發(fā)動戰(zhàn)爭的決定者應(yīng)該受到譴責(zé).故選C.

點評 本文考察學(xué)生的理解推斷能力以及細心程度,只要抓住文章的關(guān)鍵詞,采用尋讀的方法查找細節(jié),就能找到正確答案.

1.Many people think it is safe to use a cell phone while they are driving.Yet Scores of studies suggest that real multitaskers-those who can carry out multiple (多個的) tasks equally well,make up just 2 percent of the population.More surprisingly,the so-called"supertaskers"actually have differently structured brains to the other 98 percent.
The brain areas that make supertaskers differ from the rest of the population are the same parts that are most different between humans and nonhuman primates (靈長類),according to David Strayer,director of the applied cognition lab at the University of Utah.Scientists are unsure of the reason why some brains are different.In fact,we could all benefit from doing just one task at once.
In most of us,scientists have located a"bottleneck in the brain"that may explain why we find it hard to do two things at once.
The problem appears to be caused by a logjam of nerve messages.Faced with two almost simultaneous (同時的) tasks less than 300 milliseconds apart,the brain's ability to deal with the second one slows down.The neural (神經(jīng)的) response to the second task was postponed until the response to the first was completed.This means that with e-mails,phone calls,text messages and online social media all competing for our attention,often against a background of television,radio or music,our brains can reach information overload.
Scientists made the discovery after scanning the brains of volunteers attempting to multitask on a computer.The task was deliberately designed to involve the use of different senses and motorresponses.
Dr Rene Marois,one of the neuroscientists who carried out the experiment at Vanderbilt University in Nashville,Tennessee,said:"Our research offers neurological evidence that the brain cannot effectively do two things at once."The next step,the neuroscientists say,is finding out"why these areas cannot process two tasks at once."
66.How many people can drive equally well while using a cell phone?C
A.Nobody.B.Everybody.C.2 in 100.D.98 in 100.
67.The researchers tried to find out the difference betweenBbrain structures.
A.different supertaskers'
B.supertaskers'and ordinary people's
C.humans'and nonhuman primates'
D.supertaskers'and nonhuman primates'
68.We can infer from the article that the brain takes 300 milliseconds toA.
A.make a neural response               B.get ready for a response
C.complete a task                      D.finish two tasks
69.If weD,our brains may reach information overload.
A.serf the Internet after listening to music
B.use a cell phone against a background of television
C.complete all kinds of tasks within the same day
D.have lots of tasks queuing for responses
70.From the dictionary explanations,choose one for the underlined word"motor"in Paragraph 5.C
A.having an engine
B.relating to vehicles with engines
C.relating to nerves that make muscles move (control body movement)
D.the part of a machine that makes it move.

20.The 92-year-old,thin,calm and proud lady,who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock,even though she is nearly blind,moved to a nursing home today.
Her husband of 70years recently passed away,making the move necessary.After many hours of waiting patiently in the hall of the nursing home,she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready.
As she walked slowly to the elevator,I provided a true description of her tiny room,including the old sheets that had been hung on her window."I love it,"she said with the happiness of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.
"Mrs Jones,you haven't seen the room…just wait."
"That doesn't matter,"she replied."Happiness is something you decide ahead of time.Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged.It's how I arranged my mind.I have already decided to love it.It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up.Each day is a gift,and as long as my eyes open I'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I've stored away."She went on to explain,"Old age is like a bank account.You take what you've put in.So,my advice to you would be to put in a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories.Thank you for your part in filling my memory bank."And with a smile,she said,"All my memories are happy ones."
