【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,選擇最佳答案。
There is a story about a man who lost his legs and left arm in an accident. After the accident, only a finger and thumb on his right hand remained.
He was a brilliant, creative, and educated man. He had gained a lot of experience while traveling around the world, so he became very depressed after his accident. He was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life suffering and would no longer be able to spend his life in a meaningful way. Then, he realized that he still had partial function of his right hand and could still write even though it was very difficult. An idea occurred to him, “Why not write to other people who need encouragement?”
He wrote to the prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners. The prison minister replied, “Writing to the prisoners is acceptable, but your letters will not be answered.”
Filled with excitement, the man knew he could write his letters. He began sending one-way messages of God's love, hope, strength, and encouragement. He wrote twice a week, testing his strength and ability to the limit. He poured his heart and soul into his words and shared his experience, sense of humor, optimism, and faith.
It was difficult to write those letters, especially without hope of a reply. One day he received a letter from the prison ministry. It was a short note from the officer who monitored and checked the prison mail.
The letter said, “Please write on the best paper you can afford. Your letters are passed from room to room until they fall to pieces!”
No matter what circumstances life may present, we all have unique experiences, abilities, and God-given talents. We can discover ways to reach others who desperately need messages of encouragement and strength.
(1)Before the man had the accident, he __________.
A.had toured around the world

C.had tried doing exercise to recover himself
D.had been friends with the prison minister
(2)In order to live in a meaningful way, the man began to ________.

B.write to other people who needed encouragement
C.meet the people who were depressed
D.help other people who lost arms and legs
(3)From the officer's short note we are told that __________.
A.the man would be offered free paper to write letters on
B.some of the prisoners were not satisfied with his letters
C.the prisoners eagerly wanted to write back to the man
D.his letters were very popular among the prisoners
(4)What can be the best title for the passage?
A.Stories about a Humorous Person

【答案】
(1)A
(2)B
(3)D
(4)C
【解析】文章主要講述一個人在一次事故中失去雙腿和左臂,開始感到很沮喪,害怕失去對生活的信心,為了使自己生活更加有意義,他開始寫信給那些需要鼓勵的人。
(1)細節(jié)信息。根據(jù)文章第二段中He had gained a lot of experience while traveling around the world, so he became very depressed after his accident.可知,在出事故之前,他環(huán)游了世界。故該題正確答案為A.
(2)細節(jié)信息。根據(jù)文章第二段的最后一句An idea occurred to him, “Why not write to other people who need encouragement?”可知,為了生活的更有意義,他開始寫信給那些需要鼓勵的人。故該題正確答案為B.
(3)推理判斷。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段“Please write on the best paper you can afford. Your letters are passed from room to room until they fall to pieces!”監(jiān)獄方面請他用他能買得起的最好的紙。他的信一直在被傳閱,直到都成了碎片。由此可推知,他的信深受囚犯的歡迎。故該題正確答案為D.
(4)主旨大意。通讀文章可知,該文主要講述了一個在事故中失去了雙腿和左臂的人,為了使自己能夠生活得更有意義,他開始給那些需要鼓勵的人寫信。其中“鼓勵”和“信”應(yīng)是重點,故該題正確答案為C.

現(xiàn)象

重慶市應(yīng)屆高三學(xué)生中,有上萬考生放棄報名參加2009年的高考,這些學(xué)生大多是農(nóng)村考生,他們信奉“讀書無用論”。

原因

普通家庭負擔(dān)不起昂貴的大學(xué)費用。大學(xué)所學(xué)內(nèi)容和將來的工作聯(lián)系不大。大學(xué)畢業(yè)后,很難找到滿意的工作。

【題目】Robots make me nervous—especially the ones which seem to think for themselves.I was embarrassed to admit this till I heard that Bill Gates,the founder of Microsoft,felt the same way.

Gates said in an interview with the social networking and news website Reddit:“I am in the camp that is concerned about super intelligence.First the machines will do a lot of jobs for us and not be super intelligent.That should be positive if we manage well.A few decades after that though the intelligence is strong enough to be a concern.”

Well,maybe I don’t have to worry about my computer and kitchen equipment yet.After I use them I can always pull the plug.But in the future,machines might find a way to prevent us from switching them off.There’s a terrible thought!

Maybe the problem with computers too clever for us is not that they are evil like some we’ve seen in scifi movies.What could put us in danger is that they might be too efficient.That’s what philosopher Nick Bostrom from Oxford University believes.He says that machines are indifferent to humans and in pursuit of their own goals,the destruction of people might be just additional damage.Bostrom gives us an example:A machine which might have as its only goal to produce as many paperclips as possible might look at human bodies as extra material for paperclips and go after you.Because it is,well,a machine,it would not take pity on you.

It’s a good thing that American writer Isaac Asimov thought about how far robots can go and left us his three rules of robotics.He states that a robot may not hurt a human being or allow the human being to come to harm.

I’m glad my machines at home are “dumb”.All my cleaner wants to take over is the carpet in my living room.Let’s hope they don’t create an appliance which wants to take over the world!

1The author quoted Bill Gates’ words in Paragraph 2 in order to make the text .

A. betterknown B. more persuasive

C. betterorganized D. more interesting

2An intelligent paperclip machine would harm us because .

A. it is much cleverer than us

B. it would take over the world

C. it would see us just as material

D. it has the strong feeling of destroying us

3How does the author feel about Isaac Asimov’s rules of robotics?

A. Optimistic. B. Sympathetic.

C. Disappointed. D. Regretful.

High in thick bamboo forests in the misty, (rain) mountains of southwestern China (live) one of the world's rarest mammals: the giant panda, also called the panda, Only about 1,000 of these black-and-white (relative) of bears survive in the wild.
Pandas eat almost nothing bamboo shoots and leaves. (occasion) they eat other plants, fish, or small animals, but bamboo accounts for 99% of their diets.
Pandas eat fast; they eat lot, and they spend about 12 hours a day (do) it. The reason is they digest only about a fifth of what they eat. Overall, bamboo is not very nutritious. To stay healthy, they have to eat a lot-up to 15 percent of their body weight in 12 hours-so they eat fast.
Pandas' molars(臼齒) are very broad and flat. The shape of these teeth helps the animals crush the bamboo shoots, leaves, and stems they eat to get the bamboo to their mouths, hold the stems with their front claws, which have enlarged wrist bones that act as thumbs for grasping things. A panda should have at least two bamboo species where it lives, or it will starve. Pandas are shy; they don't go into areas people live. This restricts pandas to very limited areas.
