1.I lost my sight about 20years ago,but these years I(61)have lived( live ) a happy life in  a way.
It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life if I had not been blind.I didn't mean that I would prefer to live (62)without my eyes.In fact,I(63)simply( simple ) meant that the (64)loss(lose) of them taught me to appreciate what I had.
Life,I believe,asks(65)aseries of adjustment(調(diào)整)to reality.The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments,the more meaningful his own world becomes.In spite of my parents and teachers'help,the adjustment is never easy,because the(66)hardest( hard )
lesson is to believe in myself.It took,me years(67)to discover(discover)and strenthen  my  belief  to  fight with blindness.
Once a man gave me an indoor baseball,(68).which made me think he was laughing at me.Contrary(相反的)to my thought,he just let me try and roll the ball around because by(69)rolling(roll ) the ball I could hear where it went.Inspired by him,I invented a Successful baseball(70)called( call ) ground ball at Philadelphia's Overbrook School for the Blind.

分析 本文講述了一位盲人自強的故事.
作者認為正是由于自己失明了,他才愛上生活,這并不是說更喜歡沒有視力的生活,只是因為失去才會讓他更珍惜所擁有的東西.在朋友給了他一個室內(nèi)棒球之后,認為他在嘲笑,經(jīng)過努力作者發(fā)明了可以適合盲人玩的棒球.

解答 61.have lived.考查謂語動詞的時態(tài).根據(jù)時間狀語these years 可知謂語動詞live用現(xiàn)在完成時態(tài).
62.without.考查介詞.根據(jù)上句 I might not have come to love life if I had not been blind可知本句I didn't mean that I would prefer to live (62)without my eyes.表示"我并不是說我更喜歡沒有視力的生活".
63.simply.考查副詞.修飾動詞meant用副詞simply表示"僅僅".
64.loss.考查單詞變形.根據(jù)of them taught me to appreciate what I had.可知用名詞loss做句子的主語,表示"他們的損失".
65.a(chǎn).考查冠詞.固定短語a series of 表示"一系列的".
66.hardest.考查形容詞的比較等級.根據(jù)空前的the和后面的名詞lesson,可知用hard的最高級表示"最難的一課".
67.to discover.考查固定句式.表示"花費某人多久時間做某事"用it take sb sometime to do sth.,所以用to discover.
68.which.考查關(guān)系詞.非限制性定語從句 made me think he was laughing at me用which代指主句.表示"他給我室內(nèi)棒球的事讓我認為他在嘲笑我".
69.rolling.考查非謂語動詞.介詞 by后用doing.
70.called.考查非謂語動詞.動詞call做a Successful baseball的定語,二者之間是被動關(guān)系,所以用called.

點評 考查語法填空.過去分詞作定語有前置和后置兩種情況.
1、前置定語
單個的過去分詞作定語,通常放在被修飾的名詞之前,表示被動和完成意義.
A類:被動意義:
an honored guest 一位受尊敬的客人
B類:完成意義:
a retired teacher 一位退休的教師
2、后置定語
過去分詞短語作定語時,通常放在被修飾的名詞之后,它的作用相當(dāng)于一個定語從句.如:
This will be the best novel of its kind ever written (=that has ever been written).
這將是這類小說中寫得最好的.

6.In Eastern Europe,blue jeans symbolize (象征) American culture and"the good life".In Spain they are known as"cowboys".In China,jeans are known as"niuzaiku",also,"cowboy trousers",which means they are connected with the American West cowboy culture and outdoor work.
Jeans are usually made from denim (粗布),but may also be made from other materials.The earliest known cloth for jeans was a thick cotton cloth from the Indians.At first they were working clothes.They became popular among teenagers in the 1950s.Today jeans are a very popular form of casual wear around the world and come in many styles and colors.
Jeans were first made in Genoa in Italy.The trousers were made for the Genoese navy (海軍) because they needed trousers which could be worn wet or dry,and whose legs could be easily rolled up while the men were cleaning the ships.These jeans would be washed by pulling them in large fishing nets behind the ship,and the sea water would make them white.
In the 1850s Levi Strauss,a business man living in San Francisco,was selling blue jeans under the"Levi's"name to the coal workers of California.
During World War II,the coal workers liked jeans very much because they were strong and did not tear easily.In the 1950s,jeans became popular with young people in the United States.Wearing of blue jeans by teenagers was the symbol of rebels (反叛者) in TV programs and movies.Some cinemas and restaurants refused to let people in if they wore blue jeans.In the 1980s,jeans finally became high fashion clothing,when famous designers started making their own styles of jeans,with their own labels on them.Sales of jeans went up and up.

10.A few degrees can make a big difference when it comes to food storage.Foods can go bad if they get too warm.But for many of the world's poor,finding a good way to keep food cool is difficult.Refrigerators are costly and they need electricity.Yet spoiled (變質(zhì)的)food not only creates health risks but also economic losses.Farmers lose money when they have to throw away products that they cannot sell quickly.
But in 1995a teacher in northern Nigeria named Mohammed Bah Abba found a solution.He developed the "Pot-in-Pot Preservation/Cooling System."It uses two round containers made of clay(粘土),A smaller pot is placed inside a larger one.The space between the two pots is filled with wet sand.The inner pot can be filled with fruit,vegetables or drinks.A wet cloth covers the whole cooling system.
Food stored in the smaller pot is kept from spoiling through a simple evaporation (蒸發(fā))process.Water in the sand between the two pots evaporates through the surface of the larger pot,where drier outside air is moving.The evaporation process creates a drop in temperature of several degrees.This cools the inner pot and helps keep food safe from harmful bacteria.Some foods can be kept fresh this way for several weeks.
People throughout Nigeria began using the invention.And it became popular with farmers in other African countries.Mohammed Bah Abba personally financed (資助)the first five thousand pot-in-pot systems for his own community and five villages nearby.
In 2000,the Rolex Watch Company of Switzerland honored him with the Rolex Award for Enterprise(勞力士英才獎).This award recognizes people trying to develop projects aimed at improving human knowledge and well-being.
A committee considers projects in science and medicine,technology,exploration and discovery,the environment and cultural history.Winners receive financial assistance to help develop and extend their projects.The awards are given every two years.The next awards will be presented in late 2016.

32.We can learn from the first paragraph that farmersB
A.a(chǎn)re in great need of a way to keep food properly
B.expect more people to buy their products in time
C.don't have enough money to use electricity in life
D.usually suffer from bad health and economic losses
33.According to Mohammed Bah Abba,the food isA
A.placed between the two pots        
B.packed with a wet cloth
C.kept in the inner pot               
D.covered with wet sand
34.The Cooling System works well depending onD
A.the moving air                    
B.the evaporating
C.the cloth covers                     
D.the flowing water
35.Mohammed Bah Abba was awarded in 2000probably because heD
A,devoted himself to technology    
B.was great in the cultural history
C.made an important discover        
D.made a practical invention.

11.The defeat of Lee Sedol,the world's strongest Go (圍棋) player,by a Google artificial intelligence (AI) program,looks like another milestone towards a world where computers can do almost anything a human can.It is not.There are uncountable things that only a human can do,and that no computer seems close to.The problem is that the purely human things are not economically useful to anyone.The things that computers can be taught to do are by contrast economically fantastic.But even the most powerful programs are not human,just as a shovel (鏟車).They have no feelings.What they have is power,but this power is growing at a rate that should frighten us a ll.
It might be less frightening if computers were truly intelligent,but even the most powerful networks are less human than monstrous Martians (火星人).Their power will be used to make money for the firms that finance their development,and then for others quick and clever enough to take advantage of the new world.It is far more likely that they will increase inequality and still further remove the middle classes as we move towards an hourglass (以金錢來衡量的) society in which everyone is either very rich or very poor and likely indebted.
One of the ill effects of the spread of more intelligent computer networks is,at the same time,the spread of what might be called artificial stupidity.If AI is employed largely to replace unskilled labour,it is most productive when labour is kept unskilled or redefined that way.So much of the work in service industries is now simplified until it might be automated (自動化).And robots will never need pensions.AI is slowly reducing skilled work,like some forms of medical diagnosis,at the same time,as older doctors complain that the traditional human skills of diagnosis are falling out of medical training.The belief that everything worthwhile can be measured and then managed is far more damaging to humanity than the threat of artificial intelligence on its own.
But no victory in complicated Go games can bring us closer to truly human-like computers.
51.By mentioning the defeat of Lee Sedol,the author intends to tell us thatC.
A.computers can completely replace humans in everything
B.humans are of no practical economic values to the society
C.the power of computers is growing at a frightening rate
D.AI programs can not compare with humans economically 
52.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the power of computers willD.
A.improve the quality of human life
B.promote equality at work places
C.make contributions to human development
D.widen the gap between the rich and the poor
53.What does"artificial stupidity"in Paragraph 3 mean?B
A.Unskilled workers become stupid.
B.AI discourages skilled work.
C.Computers don't need pensions.
D.AI is ruining medical training.
54.What is the author's attitude towards the future of artificial intelligence?C
A.Optimistic.
B.Supportive.
C.Skeptical.
D.Disappointed.
