June 27, 2010, is the 130th anniversary of the birth of Helen Keller, and each year the week in which her birthday falls is recognized as Deaf-Blind Awareness Week (海倫凱勒周). In honor of Helen Keller—and other members of the deaf-blind community, this week is devoted to the deaf-blind.
Every year the last week of June is devoted to one thing – recognition of the deaf-blind people in our midst. While the purpose of Deaf-Blind Awareness Week is to show respect for Helen Keller, the deaf-blind woman who was born that week, the week focuses on increasing public awareness and understanding of deaf-blindness.
According to the Helen Keller National Center (HKNC), about 70,000 people have hearing and vision loss. More than ten years ago, Deaf-Blind Awareness
Week became an event officially recognized by the Federal government.
The story of Helen Keller is well known. Born on June 27, 1880, the healthy baby was developing normally. But at the age of 19 months, an illness left her deaf and blind. When Helen was six, her equally famous teacher, Anne Sullivan, was able to teach her to communicate. Helen Keller went on to do well in all aspects of her life: graduating from college with honors and writing, lecturing, and inspiring people worldwide.
小題1: Which of the following is NOT the purpose of Deaf-Blind Awareness Week according to the passage?
A．To show respect for Helen Keller’s teacher, Anne Sullivan.
B．To show respect for Helen Keller.
C．To increase public awareness of deaf-blindness.

小題2:When is Deaf-Blind Awareness Week?

（2010?冀州二模）
“A very disruptive(擾亂型的) six-year old child kicked my legs and clawed at my hand，”said one teacher. “I broke up a fight and was kicked between my legs，”said another. Many people have heard stories like this.  But the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents.
Every child , regardless of the circumstances into which they are born，has the right to achieve their potential，regardless of their parents’ wealth and class.  And we recognize that, as a nation，it is a long way to achieve this goal.But rights come with responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of neglecting the latter.
Far too many children are behaving badly at school，even to the point of being violent to staff. This is terrible enough，but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behavior of their parents. Too many are starting school unable to hold a knife and fork, unused to eating at a table，and unable to use the lavatory properly.  
We are in danger of becoming a nation of families living separate lives under one roof. The bedroom, once a place to sleep，has become the living space for the young. Spending hours in front of computer screens, on social networking sites or being immersed in computer games, children and young people spend little time with their parents. Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching.         
Schools cannot right the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute parents. Both parties need to work together. Parents must be helped and given confidence to take back control. They are responsible for setting boundaries for their children’s behavior and sticking to those boundaries when the going gets tough. They are responsible for setting a good example to their children and for devoting that most precious of resources—time—so that children come to school ready and are willing to learn.
小題1:In the opinion of the writer, what problem do people ignore?
A．The school violence.
B．The pressure of students’ learning.
C．The right to achieve students potential.
D．the responsibilities of the students.
小題2:The writer’s attitude to the behaviors of parents may be that of ________.
A．dissatisfiedB．unconcernC．understandingD．tolerance
小題3: The underlined part in Para. 4 may means__________.
A．parents and children live in their separate rooms
B．parents care little about children’s life at home
C．children don’t live with their parents in the same room
D．a(chǎn)t home children live a different life from that of parents
小題4:What might be most suitable title for the passage?
A．Children’s behavior at school is worrying people
B．Parents expect schools to correct their children’s bad habits
C．There is no point in parents’ teaching children at home
D．Don’t blame teachers when it’s parents who are failing

Winston Churchill once described Russia as “a riddle wrapped in a mystery（謎） inside a puzzle”. Observers of Russia in the 21st century could surely say the same of the country’s president, Vladimir Putin.
Born in Leningrad, six months before the death of Stalin, the young Putin experienced a poverty-stricken childhood but received a good education. He developed lifelong interests in judo and spy novels, and first applied to the KGB(蘇聯(lián)國家安全委員會) at the age of 17. When they told him to go away and come back with a degree, he completed with an efficiency(效率) that would later serve him well.
Putin used his KGB training, plus his own discipline and common sense, in a series of jobs. He became acting President on 31 December 1999, when president Boris Yeltsin resigned in a surprising move. Putin won the 2000 presidential election and in 2004 he was re-elected for a second term lasting until 7 May 2008. 
Due to term limits, Putin was unable to run for a third presidential term. After the victory of  Dmitry Medvedev, in the 2008 presidential elections, he was appointed to be Russia’s Prime Minister.
Putin is regarded as one bringing political stability and re-establishing the rule of law. During his presidency, Russia’s economy(經(jīng)濟) bounced back, seeing GDP increase by 72%, poverty cut more than half, and average monthly salaries increase from $80 to $640. Analysts have described Putin's economic reforms as impressive. At the same time, his conduct in office has been questioned by political opposition at home, foreign governments, and human rights organizations for leading the Second Chechen War, and for his record on human rights and freedoms.
Whether he wants to drive Russia into a new stage, or believes in the values of its Soviet past, he is determined to put his nation back on its feet. To do this, Vladimir Putin may have to show his true colors sooner rather than later.
小題1: What would be the best title for the text?
A．The Mysterious President of Russia
B．Russia’s High-growth Economy
C．Russia’s Far Past and Near Future
D．The Political Situation in Russia
小題2: Which of the following helps Putin’s success in presidential election?
A．His family background.B．His belief in Soviet.
C．His efficiency in jobs.D．His love for freedom.
小題3: What happened in Russia during Putin’s presidency?
A．The number of the poor reduced to 50%.
B．Every Russian enjoyed equal rights.
C．Russia’s economy picked up rapidly.
D．Russian people lived a peaceful life.
小題4:  What can we learn about Putin from the text?
A．He gains respect of foreign governments.
B．He always fought for human rights.
C．He ran for president a third time.
D．He is a politician of great achievements.

Four hundred years ago, an Italian scientist named Galileo Galilei became the first person to see the craters（環(huán)形山） on the moon. Galileo was one of the first people to use a telescope to study the sky. Since then, telescopes have become the most important tool used by astronomers. Scientists never stop finding new ways to make these instruments more powerful. In the next several years, two new telescopes with different purposes are to be used.
One of the telescopes, called Pan-STARRS, could save humans from dying out. Nick Kaiser, a scientist who works on the project, says the Pan-STARRS telescope has been designed to find “90 percent of all killer asteroids(小行星) near Earth”.
Pan-STARRS, like most telescopes, uses mirrors and lenses(透鏡) to provide pictures of outer space. Giant mirrors are used to “gather” light. They reflect the light onto the lens of a camera, which can then record the image.
When completed, Pan-STARRS will include four telescopes which will be put on top of a mountain on the Hawaiian island of Maui. Only one telescope is in place and working now. Each telescope will take pictures of one patch of sky for about 30 seconds, and then move on to another patch. Every night, each telescope will take pictures of about 1,000 patches. Every week, each telescope will have photographed the whole sky.
Each of the four telescopes will take pictures of the same patches of sky. One telescope, working alone, may sometimes incorrectly show an asteroid. If there are three other telescopes working, astronomers can use them to see if there really is an asteroid coming our way. By using four telescopes instead of one, scientists hope to get a better picture of space. If a giant asteroid was identified, astronomers would try to break it up long before it reached Earth.
小題1: Galileo Galilei is mentioned to ____________.
A．tell us the history of telescopes
B．introduce the topic of the passage
C．show people his contributions
D．tell us about the craters on the moon
小題2: For what purpose is Pan-STARRS designed?
A．To find more asteroids around Earth.
B．To help scientists know Earth better.
C．To find killer asteroids coming towards Earth.
D．To learn about asteroids in outer space.
小題3:What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The use of mirrors in a telescope.
B．Why Pan-STARRS is different.
C．How telescope “gather” light
D．How a telescope works.
小題4:How many patches is the whole sky divided into when Pan-STARRS is working?
A．1,000B．7,000C．21,000D．28,000
小題5: The four telescopes will take pictures of the same patches of sky because _____.
A．one telescope often takes unclear pictures
B．one telescope may provide incorrect information
C．information from just one telescope is usually incorrect
D．no information is allowed to be identified based on single information
