题目内容

After a terrible electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years．The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life．His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live．

One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once．He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning．Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree．He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a plough and a wall．When Mrs. Edwards came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years．

The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread, and many doctors came to examine him．Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning．However, none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened．The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock．

1.The reason for Robert’s attempts to kill himself was that _________．

A．a terrible traffic accident happened to him

B．he had to live in a dark and silent world

C．he was struck by the lightning once more

D．nobody in the world cared about him

2.What was Robert doing when he was struck by the lightning?

A．Sheltering from the rain under a tree．

B．Driving a car．

C．Taking a walk with a stick．

D．Lying on the ground．

3.We can infer from the text that ________．

A．there was no accurate explanation for Robert’s recovery

B．many doctors came because Robert was badly injured

C．Robert’s wife sent for doctors immediately after the shock

D．a sudden injury in the head led to Robert’s recovery

4.What’s the best title of the whole passage?

President Barack Obama has complained about the loss of privacy that comes with being leader of the United States, regretting the loss of simple pleasures such as a long walk or a trip to the car wash or supermarket. "I just miss—I miss being anonymous," he said. "I miss Saturday morning, rolling out of bed, not shaving, getting into my car with my girls, driving to the supermarket, squeezing the fruit, getting my car washed, taking walks. I can't take a walk." His dream, he said, was to "go through Central Park and watch folks passing by... spend the day watching people—I miss that".

Faced with angry criticism for playing more golf than most previous occupants of the White House, he explained that the sport was simply the best way of getting away from it all. "It's the only excuse I have to get outside for four hours in a row, he told Hearst Magazines.

Though he said he enjoyed his life in the White House, he felt disappointed with some of the ways of Washington, which he has failed in his pledge(保证) to change, such as the "kabuki dance( 日本歌伎舞)" among political parties before serious policy discussions begin. His comments may be seen as vindication(证实) by critics who have accused him of appearing too detached (超然的), and being slow to engage in vital issues such as Libya and the near shutdown of the US government last week.

Since arriving at the White House in January 2009, Mr Obama has already racked up (得分)60 rounds of golf in office, more than George W. Bush did in his eight years.

In terms of ability, Golf Digest magazine has ranked Mr Obama eighth out of the 18 presidents who played the game since it became established in the early 20th century.

1.What can be inferred from the first paragraph about Barack Obama after he became the US president?

A. He liked living a busy life.

A. to keep fit B. to enjoy life

C. to release his pressure D. to balance his work

A. The president is really a great golf player.

B. There are always unnecessary procedures among political parties.

Teachers say the digital age has had a good influence - and a not-so-good influence - on this generation of American teenagers．More than 2,000 teachers took an online survey．Three-quarters of the teachers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a "mostly positive" effect on their students' research habits and skills．But 64 percent said the technologies "do more to distract（使 - - - ---分心） students than to help them academically．" And 87 percent agreed that these technologies are creating an "easily distracted generation with short attention spans．"

The Pew Internet Project did the survey with the National Writing Project．Judy Buchanan is the vice director of the National Writing Project and a co-author of the report．Ms．Buchanan says digital research tools are helping students learn more and faster．"Teachers really favor these tools because they are ways to make some of the learning exciting and engaging．Young people favor these tools．The goal is to really help them become creators of meaningful content, and not just sort of consumers．"

But one problem the survey found is that many students lack digital literacy．They trust too muck of the information they find on the Internet．Judy says these students haven't developed the skills to determine the quality of online information．"It's something that really has to be taught and paid attention to．Because in a world in which things happen quickly, you do need to step back, reflect and analyze the information you have．"

Another problem is blamed on something that might not seem like a problem at all: being able to quickly find information online．Teachers say the result is a reduction in the desire and ability of their students to work hard to find answers．They say students are overly dependent on search engines and do not make enough use of printed books or research libraries．

Many teachers are also concerned that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others instead of using their own abilities．

1.The text mainly tells us____．

A．all the students use digital tools

B．the Internet is playing a key role

C．teachers encourage using digital tools

3.The underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably means__________.

A．students do not have the right digital tools

B．students do not always have access to the Internet

D．students can't judge online information properly

4.Some students don't tend to work hard because__________.

A．they can get answers on the Internet quickly

B．printed books and libraries around aren't enough

C．the Internet can't make students concentrate

D．they can copy each others' work without being punished

Few of us haven’t read Cinderella, the story of a young woman living in poverty who meets the prince of her dreams．Some might not want to admit it, but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyone’s heart—we all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity （默默无闻）．

Mary Santiago has that secret dream, too．Her story is featured in Another Cinderella Story, a film set in a US high school．

Mary is shy but loves to dance．Compared with other girls, she is invisible．However, her world changes completely when a famous teenager pop singer, Joey Parker, appears．

Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not—kind, handsome and desirable．Mary and Joey’s paths cross at a ball．They meet and fall in love with each other．But when Mary has to rush back home, she leaves behind her MP3 player, which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams．Of course, there is a wicked stepmother, who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies．Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesn’t get into the top dance school．Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary, even if that means embarrassing her．

The story, though it mostly follows Cinderella, does add a few modern day twists to the classic fairy tale．Refreshingly, the film, unlike many high school films, does not focus on looks, although the actors are all beautiful．There is also a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies．

“The movie takes the Cinderella fairytale as its jumping off point,” writes movie critic Amber Wilkinson．“Yet the focus is firmly on following your dream．”

A．inform us of the importance to marry a prince

2.In the movie, Mary Santiago is the main character who _________．

A．is badly treated by the stepmother

B．is brave in expressing her love

3.What can we infer from the passage?

A．Joey is just like other boys in Mary’s class．

B．The MP3 player helps Joey in finding Mary．

C．Not many people have a dream to be realized．

D．Mary’s mother influences her a lot in singing．

4.What does movie critic Amber Wilkinson mean by his words about Another Cinderella Story?

A．The movie is exactly another copy of the Cinderella fairytale．

B．The movie is as good as the story Cinderella．

C．The movie and Cinderella both focus on following your dream．

D．The movie is based on the story Cinderella while a little different from it．
