16.Rainer Maria Rilke was born in Prague,the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic,on December 4,1875,the only child of an unhappy marriage.Rilke's childhood was also unhappy;his parents placed him in a military school with the desire that he become an officer-a position Rilke was unwilling to hold.With the help of his uncle,who realized that Rilke was a highly gifted child,Rilke left the military school and entered a German preparatory school.
By the time he became a member of Charles University in Prague in 1895,he knew that he would choose a literary career:he had already published his first collection of poetry,Leben und Lieder.At the turn of 1895~1896,Rilke published his second collection,Larenopfer.A third collection,Traumgekront followed in 1896.That same year,Rilke decided to leave the university for Munich,Germany,and later made his first trip to Italy.
In 1897,Rilke went to Russia,which proved to be a very important stage in Rilke's life and marked the true beginning of his serious early works.There the young poet met Tolstoy,a Russian writer famous for his long novel War and Peace.When Rilke travelled in France,he met and married Clara Westhoff,who had been a pupil of Rodin,the great French sculptor.In 1902he became the friend,and for a time the secretary,of Rodin,and it was during his twelveyear's stay in Paris that Rilke enjoyed his greatest poetic activity and first began to develop a new style of lyrical poetry,influenced by Rodin's visual arts.His first great work,Das Stunden Buch appeared in 1906,followed in 1907by Neue Gedichte and Die Aufzeichnungen des Malte Laurids Brigge.
When World WarⅠbroke out,Rilke was forced to leave France and during the war he lived in Munich.In 1919he went to Switzerland where he spent the last years of his life.It was here that he wrote his last two works,the Duino Elegies(1923)and the Sonnets to Orpheus(1923).He died of cancer of the blood on December 29,1926.

13.When looking at Western Europe,we don't usually think about poverty-but in fact,some people in modern-day Britain are so hard up that they can't afford to buy food.
Back in 2008.the financial crisis caused a lot of unemployment.Then there were the cuts to the welfare system in 20 1 3which added to the problem-and many British people fell into debt.It's estimated that 500,000people in the UK have turned to food banks,just to get by.
Steph Hagen,who works in a Nottingham food bank,says:"People do not go to a food bank because it's an open door.It's a case where they go to it because they need to.With our food bank-we are an independent one.and we have limited stocks-everyone who comes through our door has no income."
There are checks to make sure nobody is abusing the system.If a doctor or a social worker thinks someone needs to use a food bank-even for a short time-they can give them vouchers(凭证).Then the people in need take them along to the food bank and they get handouts for three days.
Churches and individual donors provide most of the food in the banks.But some businesses might help out too.
And what sort of food is offered in food banks?Hagen says:"Basically,we've got porridge.We do occasionally get fresh produce but it's very rare,especially in the winter months.It's like tinned fruit,tinned ready meals.We have to give out‘no-cooking'food parcels because people can't afford the gas and electricity".
Community spirit has a lot to do with food banks.Volunteers say they are a great meeting place for people who are lonely and depressed.And when facing a crisis,some beneficiaries might need to feed not only their belly-but also their soul.
24.According to the text,the food bank is a placeC.
A.which is funded by the government
B.where people can get food randomly
C.which helps poor people live through crisis
D.where there is enough food supplies
25.What does the underlined word"them"in Paragraph 4refer to?D
A.Systems.    
B.Doctors.    
C.Social workers. 
D.Vouchers.
26.Why do food banks mainly offer"no-cooking"food?A
A.Poor people have no money for gas and electricity.
B.The volunteers hate to supply cooked food.
C.Food banks can't afford cooked food.
D.This kind of food is easy to store.
27.What can we learn from the last paragraph?B
A.Community spirit can cure those who are depressed.
B.Food banks benefit poor people mind and body.
C.People can have great fun in food banks.
D.Volunteers tend to feel lonely and depressed in food banks.

China Set to Make Own Ballpoint Pen Tips
One of China's major stainless steel (不锈钢) producers has independently developed the special steel needed to make the ballpoint pen tips and plans to mass-produce the material to replace(31)D in two years.
The group has spent five years on research and development to (32)H the technology,ending a long-term Chinese reliance on foreign pen tips.
Without this technology,China's pen manufacturers,which produce 38billion ballpoint pens per year,have had to purchase the(33)K parts from overseas markets,costing the industry $17.3million a year,according to the China National Light Industry Council.
"It will be one of our (34)Aproducts in the long run,and we will try more materials for tips of ballpoint pens to remain competitive,"said Li Jianmin,director of TISCO's research and development center.
Wang Huimian,TISCO's senior engineer,said the company will (35)Fmore financial resources and manpower to develop next-generation ballpoint pen tips in a(n) (36)B friendly way to further compete with rivals in Japan and Switzerland.
"If these real economy-related factors are underdeveloped,its key (37)J won't be strong,"said Wang.
The pen tip issue was first brought into the spotlight by Premier Li Keqiang in January last year,(38)E a major issue facing Chinese manufacturers-weak competitiveness in key technology.
Making such products requires high-precision (39)I and extremely-thin steel plates.Special microelements must be added to liquid steel to make a quality tip that can write continually for at least 800meters.
Eager to enhance its earning ability,the company (40)C that it planned to produce 10.5 million metric tons of steel this year,including 4.5 million stainless steel products.
Zhao Ying,a researcher at the Institute of Industrial Economics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing,said,"All these elements can be reached only through long-term investment and increasing development,"he said.
9.The United States of America was founded in 1776 after the 13 independent American states rose up against the ruling British,defeated them in the American Revolutionary War,and signed the Declaration of Independence,the document which declared the creation of the new country.
    The men who led the revolution,drafted the Declaration of Independence and wrote the first American laws are known as"founding fathers".Benjamin Franklin,whose picture is on the US 100-dollar note,was appointed to prepare the Declaration that was eventually signed by the other founding fathers.
    Franklin was born in 1706 in Boston to a soap maker named Josiah Franklin.His father could not afford full schooling for all his children,but Benjamin loved books and worked in his elder brother's printing business before starting a newspaper called the Pennsylvania Gazette in 1729.He wrote and drew cartoons for the newspaper.In addition,he worked to improve living conditions in the city:introducing street lights,cleaning the roads and building libraries.In the 1740s,Franklin retired from his newspaper and turned to science with great success.He was a very smart man and his work on electricity,including the"kite experiment"which confirmed the nature of lightning,made him famous throughout the world.
    Franklin earned the title of the"First American"for his efforts to unite the 13 American states,and to win their independence.This part of the story started in London.He was sent to the city to persuade the British to treat the American states more fairly.It was here that he began interacting with important political thinkers and activists of the time and developing his own political ideas.
    Following his return to America in 1761 he became much more active in American politics and in the battle against British rule.
     After the United States of America was established,Franklin held several important positions such as the first United States Postmaster General,Ambassador to France and President of Pennsylvania.He is also famous today for his wise sayings,including"a penny saved is a penny earned"and"an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".
24.What is the article mainly about?B
A.The American Declaration of Independence.
B.Franklin's contributions to American society.
C.The American War of Independence.
D.Benjamin Franklin's early life.
25.How did Franklin begin developing his own political thinking?A
A.By discussing ideas with political activists in Britain.

6.What's black and white and read all over?Not newspapers,at least not anymore.In fact,if you're like most young people,you probably don't read the newspaper at all.
In one recent survey,just 19percent of 18-to-34-year-olds said they read a newspaper every day,while 37percent watch local TV news and 44percent visit Internet news sites daily.As people turn more and more to new technologies,they turn the pages of newspapers less and less.
"There's a revolution (革命) in the way young people get news,"says media consultant Merrill Brown.
Just a generation (一代人) or two ago,the newspaper was the main way that many people got their news.Now,nearly every home has at least one TV set.There's high-speed,wireless Internet both at home and in many public places.
You no longer have to wait for a bundle of newsprint to arrive on your doorstep every morning.Thanks to new technology,if you want to know what's going on in the world,you can get breaking news immediately in more ways than one.
So newspapers face a very big challenge.Raised on MTV and video games,today's kids and young adults want flashy displays,special effects,quick information,and the chance to interact (互动) in real time,even when they're reading about serious problems.
If newspapers can't find creative ways to be more than just ink on paper,some experts suggest,they might disappear completely.
Traditional newspaper articles are supposed to be read from beginning to end,lack (缺乏) of interaction.With Web pages,on the other hand,there's more freedom.You can look through the things you're interested in,then follow links to other sources.You can join discussion groups,read other people's opinions on a topic,or start a blog to express your own views.
13.This passage is mainly aboutA.
A.the disappearing newspaper        
B.different news sources
C.the future of the Internet           
D.the new technologies
14.According to the passage,which of the following is NOT the disadvantage of newspapers?A
A.High price.
B.Lack of changes.
C.Slow speed.
D.Lack of interaction.
15.The author of the passage would probably think the future of newspapers isD.
A.attractive   B.bright   C.hopeless   D.uncertain.
7.Why Do People Blink Their Eyes?
People blink(眨眼)their eyes tens of thousands of times every day.Scientists have long believed blinking was an involuntary movement and served mainly to keep the eyeballs wet.But a new study suggests it has a more important purpose.
An international team of scientists from the University of California at Berkeley studied the blinking of human eyelids.The journal Current Biology published their findings.The team said they found that blinking"repositions our eyeballs so we can stay focused"on what we are seeing.They said that when we blink our eyelids,the eyes roll back into their sockets-the bony area that surrounds and protects the eyes.However,the researchers found the eyes don't always return to the same position.They said this causes the brain to tell the eye muscles to reorganize our eyesight.
Gerrit Maus is the lead writer of the report.He serves as an assistant professor of psychology at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.Maus said,"Our eye muscles are quite sluggish(迟缓的)and imprecise,so the brain needs to constantly adapt its motor signals to make sure our eyes are pointing where they're supposed to.Our findings suggested that the brain measures the difference in what we see before and after a blink,and commands the eye muscles to make the needed corrections."The researchers said that without such corrections our surroundings would appear unclear and even jumpy.They said the movement acts"like a steadicam(摄影稳定器)of the mind."
The researchers said they asked volunteers to sit in a dark room while staring at a small dot on a flat surface.They used special cameras to follow the volunteer's blinks and eye movements.After each blink,the dot was moved one centimeter to the right.The volunteers did not notice this,but the brain did.It followed the movement and directed the eye muscles to refocus on the dot.After the dot was moved in this way 30times,the volunteers'eyes changed their focus to the place where they predicted it would be.
Professor Maus said,"Even though participants did not consciously register that the dot had moved,their brains did,and adjusted with the corrective eye movements.These findings add to our understanding of how the brain constantly adapts to changes,commanding our eye muscles to correct for errors in our bodies'own hardware."

63.According to the new study,blinking eyes canB.
A.serve to keep the eyeballs wet
B.reposition eyeballs to stay focused
C.consciously correct eye movements
D.make our eyes adapt to motor signals
64.From the experiment,we can learn thatD.
A.volunteers could see the moving dot with special cameras
B.the eyeballs could stay in the place as they were predicted
C.participants were aware of the dot's movements to the right
D.the brain commanded the eye muscles to refocus on the dot
65.The underlined word"register"in Paragraph 5 probably meansA.
A.realize         B.refocus         C.reserve         D.reason
66.This passage shows thatC.
A.eye muscles are quite inactive and imprecise
B.the research is of great value in the eye movement
C.the brain plays an important role in seeing things clearly
D.volunteers control their blinks to follow the changes of the dots.
