7.I remember my mother as a strong woman.She came to America when she was 12-old enough to remember her language,she achieved scores and grades high enough to be admitted to Duke University.With a degree in computer science,she finally became the manager of a company in New York.My mother could give fluent speeches,say"wolves"correctly.
It was my mother who always stressed the importance of language.From the time I was born,I was read to.I would fall asleep to the sounds of my parents'voices,whether it was my dad's softly accented,or my mother's clear English.The flow of language was unbroken,and whether in Chinese or English,the stream of communication flowed through our house.
One October morning in sixth grade,after my mother had left to catch the train to the city,I left the house for the bus stop.I was surprised when I saw our car,the door hanging open.As I drew closer,I saw my mother lying on the ground.
In the hospital,it was hard to believe that the lady who lay before me was my mom.My mother could not remember my name.As the leaves changed colors,it became clear that the stroke had created a wall between my mothers mind and mouth:her mind was not any less dear,but the words she spoke were not what she meant.
The battle my mother faced taught me the importance of language.Without it,identity does not exist; relationships cannot be formed; stories cannot be told; directions cannot be given,and knowing anything about anyone is impossible.Without language,communication cannot take place.Without language,one cannot express the beauty of a sunset or the kindness of a stranger.The world would pass us by in silence.

21.From where might the author's mom come to America?A
A.China 
B.England
C.Russia 
D.Canada
22.According to the last two paragraphs,the author's mom was unable toB.
A.think clearly 
B.express herself well
C.speak 
D.open her mouth
23.The underlined word"stroke"in the 4th paragraph most probably refers toC.
A.a(chǎn)n accident 
B.a(chǎn) hit 
C.a(chǎn)n illness 
D.a(chǎn) robbery
24.This passage is mainly aboutB.
A.a(chǎn) strong mother 
B.the importance of language
C.a(chǎn) family disaster 
D.the significance of teaching language.

3.Sports shoes that work out whether their owner has done enough exercise to warrant (保證;授權(quán))time in front of the television have been invented in the UK.
    The shoes 一 named Square Eyes一contain an electronic pressure sensor and a tiny computer chip to record how many steps the wearer has taken in a day.A wireless transmitter (傳話器)passes the information to a receiver connected to a television,and this decides how much evening viewing time the wearer deserves,based on the day's efforts.
    The design was inspired by a desire to fight against the rapidly ballooning waistlines among British teenagers,says Gillian Swan,who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project at Brunel University to London,UK."We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out,"she says."And I wanted to deal with that with my design."
    Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise,the television automatically switches off.And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps.
    Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the recommended daily amounts of both.Health experts suggest that a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television.So,every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals exactly one minute of TV time.
    Existing pedometers (計步器)normally clip (夾在)onto a belt or slip into a pocket and keep count of steps by measuring sudden movement.Swan says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through shaking.But her shoe has been built to be harder for lazy teenagers to cheat."It is possible,but it would be a lot of effort,"she says."That was one of my main design considerations."

41.According to Swan,the purpose of her design project is toB.
A.keep a record of the steps of the wearer
B.deal with overweight among teenagers
C.enable children to resist the temptation of TV
D.prevent children from being tricked by TV programs
42.Which of the following is true of Square Eyes shoes?A
A.They regulate a child's evening TV viewing time.
B.They determine a child's daily pocket money.
C.They have raised the hot issue of overweight.
D.They contain information of the receiver.
43.What is stressed by health experts in their suggestion?C
A.The exact number of steps to be taken.
B.The accurate number of hours spent on TV.
C.The proper amount of daily exercise and TV time.
D.The way of changing steps into TV watching time.
44.Compared with other similar products,the new designD.
A.sends teenagers'health data to the receiver
B.counts the wearer's steps through shaking
C.records the sudden movement of the wearer
D.makes it difficult for lazy teenagers to cheat
45.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A
A.Smart Shoes Decide on Television Time
B.Smart Shoes Guarantee More Exercise
C.Smart Shoes Measure Time of Exercise
D.Smart Shoes Stop Childhood Overweight.

2.The word"Dutch"originally referred to Germans,and even today,the word"Deutschland"means Germany.(36)GThe country,which is on the coast of the North Sea between Germany and Belgium is also known as Holland.
There are many English expressions that include the word"Dutch."(37)A For example,"Dutch courage"means false courage or bravery gotten by drinking alcohol.A"Dutch uncle"is a person who gives unwanted advice.A"Dutch concert"is just a lot of noise and no music.A"Dutch defense"means surrender(投降),although the Dutch never surrendered an inch of their homeland without a heroic fight.
In these phrases the English imply that the Dutch are cheap and not brave enough.(38)FWhen most people think of Holland,they imagine huge fields of tulips(郁金香),tall windmills(風車)and children wearing wooden shoes一pleasant and positive things.So why did the English take such a contrary view of Holland?
(39)E But as the two countries became interested in the East Indies; they competed to control sea routes leading to the East indies and the valuable goods found there.The Dutch and the English fought three wars at sea between 1652and 1674.In 1667.when the Dutch bravely blocked off the Thames River near London,England,the English were angry!(40)BToday relations between the two countries are quite friendly; but the old phrases remain.

A.Most of them have negative meanings.
B.It was during this time that the unfair war of words began.
C.Dutch is one of the closest relatives of both German and English.
D.Take advantage of any Dutch language center as you learn to speak Dutch.
E.Yet the rest of the world views Holland and the Dutch people much differently.
F.Before the 17th century,the Dutch were respected in English writing and language.
G.But in present-day English,"Dutch"refers to people and things coming from the Netherlands.

2.Regarded as one of the English language's most gifted poets,John Keats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagery,human nature,and philosophy.Although Keats didn't receive much formal literary education,his own studies and passion brought him much success.Additionally,his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly.
   Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middle-class family,the young John didn't attend a private school,but went to a public one.His teachers and his family's friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies.After his father's death in the early 1800s,followed by his mother's passing due to tuberculosis (肺結(jié)核),he began viewing life differently.He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything h e could get his hands on.
    At around the age of 16,the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor.However,his literary appetite had taken too much of his fancy,especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser.He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816,entitled O Solitude!If I Must With Thee Dwell.Within two months in 1817,Keats had written an entire volume of poetry,but was sharply criticized by a magazine.However,the negative response didn't stop his pursuit of rhythm (韻律).
   John Keats'next work was Endymion,which was published in May 1818.The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boy's hope to overcome the limitations of being human.Following Endymion,however,he tried something more narrative-based and wrote Isabella.During this time,John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life experiences.He would have to have the"knowledge"associated with his poems.His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned.However,a bout (發(fā)作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and eventually take his life in 1821.
24.John Keats'attitude towards life changed because ofB.
A.his early education from school    
B.the deaths of his parents
C.Edmund Spenser's poetry           
D.the criticism of a magazine
25.What is the common thing between John Keats and his mother?A
A.They died of the same disease.
B.They had a bad childhood
C.They read many books.
D.They showed strong interest in poetry
26.While pursuing his dream of becoming a poet at first,John Keats wasA.
A.determined      B.experienced C.knowledgeable       D.impatient
27.What do we know from the passage?B
A.Keats received little education at school.
B.Keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.
C.In 1816 Keats spent two months writing a poem.
D.Endymion was about a real love story.
