My father was a highly educate, intelligent gentleman. He could debate or discuss for hours on almost any topic and hold your   31  in the process. I thought there was nothing be wasn’t   32 to do.
A few days before my younger brother’s 7th birthday, Dad planned to assemble(装配) a new   33  as a special birthday surprise. After nearly an hour of  34  the instructions, Dan was still unable to   35 the new bike together. Later he  36  the paper of instructions,   37 up his tool box, and decided to take the bike back to the local toy store and pay extra   38 to have it correctly assembled there.   39 an idea came to him, as he called out to Lovett, the quiet little man who cut our grassland.
“Lovett, have you ever assembled a boy’s bicycle?”
As Lovett walked towards the bike, Dad handed him the  40 . Lovett handed it back to him, saying, “No ,thanks. I can’t read. When you can’t read, you have to  41  .” Less than 15 minutes later, the new bicycle was   42  assembled, with no  43  parts remaining. Dad shook Lovett’s hand, patted him on the back, thanked him, and hid the bike.
On the night after my brother received his shiny new gift, Dad announced at the family dinner table what had happened several days earlier. He took great  44  in telling it over and over again-be used it as an example of thinking.      
He did not prefer to illiteracy(文盲) , but strongly taught us to use our  45 , The joke was on my father,   46 he was able to turn it into a learning tool, and I liked him even more after that incident. I also gained a new   47  for Lovett. To me he had   48 been the old yard man who didn’t   49  much, but after that day, he seemed to smile broader, even walk taller, It’s amazing what a real nod of   50  can do to lift people up.

阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。把答案填涂在答题卡上相应的题号的答案标号上，如答案是E把AB同时一起涂黑，如答案是F把 CD同时一起涂黑。

首先请阅读下列六种家用电器的介绍：

A. Morphy Richards Coffee Maker

It has a programmable timer, so you can wake up to the smell coffee. The easy-clean filter(过滤器) and anti-drip device make it simple to maintain(保养).

B. Philips Juicers

It gives you all the juice thanks to its patented micro-mesh filter and powerful 700W motor. The extra-large feeding tube easily takes whole fruits and vegetables.

C. Panasonic Bread Makers

It is perfect for small living spaces. You’ll enjoy wonderful fresh bread at the time you choose. It has a digital 13-hour timer, which is great for cooking a loaf overnight ready for breakfast.

D. KDWTTB10 Compact Dishwasher

   Stylishly designed in black, it is as good looking as it functions. It promises to leave your dishes sparklingly clean, again and again!

E. Russell Hobbs Regency Kettle

   Its features: a rapid boil 3 KW concealed element for last boiling and easy cleaning; blue illumination when boiling; and double water gauges(测量仪) for ease of viewing when filling.

F. Hoover Optima 6 kg Washing Machine

  It features a unique “teardrop” door design and is user-friendly, which makes laundry days a little easier. Additional features include a countdown digital display.

以下是用户体验，请匹配与之对应的家用电器。

1.It is a great size for a small kitchen. I think its sleek black design is much more stylish than my old machine. You select the temperature setting your requirements and then shut the door and press the start button. It is very handy. It wipes clean easily as well. It also has an effective drying cycle so items are very dry. The anti flood device gives me much more security and the performance has been brilliant.

2.I think it’s amazing. It looks great. It also cleans great. It has more than enough settings for all your wash needs and is extremely quiet during all washing cycle, even on the 1600 spin. With 1600 rpm speed of spin, the clothes are almost dry when they come out! It leaves the contents spotlessly clean. The big door is very handy if you want to wash duvets(羽绒服). I do love this washing machine!

3.You get what you pay for and it’s not expensive. With an otherworldly light, it tells you how long the pot’s been sitting on the warmer. And after an hour, it shuts itself off. In my experience, the biggest problem is that there is no way you can make a full pot of coffee unless you like it incredibly weak.

4.I have not been disappointed with it. The flip-top lid makes it easy to fill. The large transparent “window” makes it easy to see how much you are putting in—so you can choose the number of cups. It looks great, boils quickly and holds plenty of water. The blue light up display when boiling is a fun feature. I think it’s a good kettle and definitely worthy money.

5.All I have to do is put the ingredients into its pan and select my type and the time when I want it finished. If you want to wake up to fresh loaf, you have to work out how many hours it will be between the time you switch it on and the time you want it to be ready. Meanwhile, the recipe that comes with it is very accurate and after three and a half hour you’ll have the most tasteful bread you ever tried.

 

While watching the Olympics the other night, I came across an unbelievable sight．It was not a gold medal, or a world record broken, but a show of courage．

         The event was swimming and started with only three men on the blocks．For one reason or another, two of them false started, so they were disqualified．That left only one to complete．It would have been difficult enough, not having anyone to race against, even though the time on the clock is important．

         I watched the man dive off the block and knew right away that something was wrong．I'm not an expert swimmer, but I can tell a good dive from a poor one, and this was not exactly medal quality．When he resurfaced, it was evident that the man was not out for gold — his arms were waving in an attempt at freestyle．The crowd started to laugh．Clearly this man was not a medal competitor．

         I listened to the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man who was clearly having a hard time．Finally he made his turn to start back．It was pitiful．He made a few desperate strokes and you could tell he was worn out．

         But in those few awful strokes, the crowd had changed．

         No longer were they laughing, but beginning to cheer．Some even began to stand and shout “Come on, you can do it!” and he did．

         A clear minute past the average swimmer, this young man finally finished his race．The crowd went wild．You would have thought that he had won the gold, and he should have．Even though he was recorded one of the slowest times in Olympic history, this man gave more heart than any of the other competitors．

         Just a short year ago, he had never even swum, let alone race．His country had been invited to Sydney．

         In a competition where athletes remove their silver medals feeling they have somehow been cheated out of gold, or when they act so proudly in front of their competitors, it is nice to watch an underdog．

1.From the passage we can learn that the young man ________

A. made his turn to start back pitifully

B. was skillful in freestyle in the game

C. swam faster than the average swimmer

D. was not capable enough to win the medal

2.The crowd changed their attitudes because ________

A. they felt sorry for the young man

B. they were moved by the young man

C. they wanted to show their sympathy

D. they meant to please the young man

3.According to the passage, “it is nice to watch an underdog” probably means _______．

A. it’s amusing to watch a man with awful swimming skills

B. it’s amazing to watch an ordinary man challenging himself

C. it’s cheerful for athletes to act proudly before their competitors

D. it’s brave enough for some athletes to remove the silver medals

4. What’s the best title for the passage?

A. Compete for Gold!

B. Try again!

C. Break a Record!

D. Go for it!

 

Many cities have subways and underground public transportation to take locals and tourists alike rapidly around the city．However, there’s something different about riding a London subway．It may not look different, but the historical value of one of England’s most popular forms of transportation is enough to make riding the subway a must when visiting London．With a little under 300 different stations, the subway can take you almost anywhere you need to go．

Riding a London subway, a person from other countries will notice one major difference: in London, people do not look at each other．In fact, eye contact is avoided at all times．That’s not rudeness―people are just too busy to bother looking．

Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they’re certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet thinking．Nor are they reading a book．New technology has replaced quiet habits．Today the only acceptable form of book on the London underground is an e-book．

Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters（使用月票上下班者）．Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, over 40,000―yes, that’s 40,000 “apps” have been designed．

Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-fillers．One “app”, called iShoot, is a game that features tanks．Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination．iSteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone．You can then write in the “steam” on your phone screen．

For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be the distraction（消遣）of choice．It’s not just teenagers who “plug in” to their music－iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages．

And if games, e-books and music aren’t enough to keep you occupied, then perhaps you would prefer a film? The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV shows or films on the way to work．With all these distractions, it’s amazing that people still remember to get off the train．

1.Those who want to save time to reach where they go can download ______ to their iPhones．

A．iShoot

B．iPod

C．iSteam

D．Tube Exits

2.People in London do not make eye contact on the subway because ______．

A．they are going to work and have no time to communicate with each other

B．they are busy playing games, reading e-books, listening to music or watching film

C．they feel sleepy because of getting up early

D．they love reading books and do not want to be disturbed

3.The underlined word “apps” in the fourth paragraph means ______．

A．computers

B．fortune from London commuters

C．computer companies

D．programs downloaded for the iPhone

4.Which word best describes the writer’s attitude towards commuters’ behaviors ?

A．for

B．neutral

C．against

D．hateful

5.The main idea of the passage is that ______．

A．London commuters are unfriendly to strangers

B．technology is changing how London commuters spend their traveling time

C．Apple has earned a lot of money from selling 40,000 apps

D．riding a London subway is a must when visiting London

 

When you think of the tremendous technological progress we have made, it’s amazing how little we have developed in other respects. We may speak scornfully of the poor old Romans because they enjoyed the seemingly excited killing that went on in their arenas（竞技场）. We may despise them because they mistook these goings on for entertainment. We may forgive them because they lived 2000 years ago and obviously knew no better. But are our feelings of superiority（优越）really justified? Are we any less blood-thirsty? Why do boxing matches, for instance, attract such universal interest? Don’t the audience who attend them hope they will see some violence? Human beings remain as bloodthirsty as ever they were. The only difference between ourselves and the Romans is that while they were honest enough to admit that they enjoyed watching hungry lions tearing people apart and eating them alive, we find all sorts of arguments to defend sports which should have been banned long ago.

　　It really is incredible that in this day and age we should still allow hunting or bull-fighting, that we should be prepared to sit back and watch two men punch each other in a boxing ring, that we should be relatively unmoved by the sight of one or a number of racing cars crashing and bursting into flames. Any talk of ‘the sporting spirit’ is merely hypocrisy（虚伪）. People take part in violent sports because of the high rewards they bring. Audience are willing to pay vast sums of money to see violence. A world heavyweight championship match, for instance, is front page news. Millions of people are disappointed if a big fight is over in two rounds instead of fifteen. They feel disappointment because they haven’t experienced the exquisite pleasure of witnessing continuous violence.

　　Why should we ban violent sports if people enjoy them so much? You may well ask. The answer is simple: they are uncivilized. For centuries man has been trying to improve himself spiritually and emotionally—though with little success. But at least we no longer tolerate the sight madmen imprisoned in cages, or public punishment of any of the countless other barbarous (野蛮的) practices which were common in the past. Prisons are no longer the harsh forbidding places they used to be. Social welfare systems are in operation in many parts of the world. Big efforts are being made to distribute wealth fairly. These changes have come about not because human beings have suddenly improved, but because positive steps were taken to change the law. The law is the biggest instrument of social change that we have and it may exert great civilizing influence. If we banned dangerous and violent sports, we would be moving one step further to improving mankind. We would recognize that violence is unworthy of human beings.

1.It can be inferred from the passage that the author’s opinion of nowadays’ human beings is ________________

A．not very high.

B．high.

C．scornful.

D．neutral

2.Why does the author mention the old Romans in this article?

A．To reveal that the old Romans first started violent sports.

B．To prove that the old Romans were not civilized.

C．To show human beings in the past knew nothing better.

D．To indicate human beings today are as bloodthirsty as the old Romans.

3.How many dangerous sports does the author mention in this passage?

A．Three.

B．Four.

C．Five.

D．Six.

4.     What does the author want to illustrate in this article?

A． By banning the violent sports, we human beings can improve ourselves.

B． By banning the dangerous sports, we can improve the law.

C． We must take positive steps to improve social welfare system.

D． Law is the main instrument of social change.
