12．Disability doesn't mean inability．Although he has been blind since birth，18-year-old Joseph Chadbourne never feels different from his 90classmates at Akron's Firestone High School in Ohio，US．
Chadbourne walks with a cane （拐杖），and he is often arm-in-arm with a classmate who is happy to help him down the hallway or on the stairs．His textbooks and exams are in Braille（盲文），and he types his assignments and notes on a BrailleNote，a small computer hooked up to a printer．Because of his disability，he's permitted extra time on exams，but Chadbourne says he doesn't need it，as he completes his tests in the same amount of time as other students．
Teachers at Firestone have been impressed by Chadbourne，whom they say hasn't let his disability stop him from doing anything he wants to do．He's one of the top students in his class and he was on the swim team．
"He doesn't take，‘You can't do this，'for an answer，"Chadbourne's history teacher，Jill Regenos，told Akron Beacon Journal．
Chadbourne joined the swim team in his sophomore （高中二年级）year．His coach used a broom handle to poke （戳）him while in the water．This would give him the signal that he needed to flip （翻身）．
"It takes a month or so to get good timing，"Chadbourne said of the flips．"They tap and I immediately go into a turn．"
Chadbourne has even done his part to give back．He has taken part in an annual swim team fundraiser （募捐活动）to raise money for Akron Children's Hospital，swimming more than 10consecutive （连续的）hours this year，with only 10-minute breaks each hour．He also has tutored a younger blind student in Braille and reading fluency．
Chadbourne has this advice for other students with disabilities："Just don't let it stop you．If you put your mind to it，you can do anything．"

11．Thomas Sterns Eliot was born in St．Louis，Missouri，on September 26，1888．He was raised in a family that had distinguished（区别） Americans since colonial days．At 18years old，T．S．Eliot entered Harvard，and after graduating he went abroad．Then he taught in a boys'school briefly before spending eight years in Lioyds Bank in London．
T．S．Eliot inspired the musical Cats in the 1980s from his well-known book Old Possum's Book of Cats．He also wrote The Love Song of J．Alfred Prufock in 1915．After 1915，T．S．Eliot wrote such poems as Portrait of a Lady．
The Waste Land appeared in 1922．It was considered by many to be his most challenging work．In 1927Thomas Stems Eliot became a British subject（国民）and was confirmed in the Church of England．
His essays．For Lancelot Andrew（1928）and his poetry，Four Quarters （1943）increasingly reflected this association with a traditional culture．The Rock （1934），his first drama，was a pageant play．This was followed by Murder in the Cathedral （1935），a play dealing with the assassination of Archbishop（主教）Thomas a Becket，who was later praised．
In 1948，King George VI bestowed（授予）the order of Merit on T．S．Eliot，and in that same year he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature．On January 4，1965Thomas Sterns Eliot died at the age of 76．Another one of his poems I enjoy is Aunt Helen．

10．A recent report found 46% of parents agreed that their child knew more about the Internet than they did．And now new research shows parents are turning to their children for lessons in technology．
The new study of around 1，000parents showed that 67% of parents have asked their teenager children for technology-related advice.44% have asked their teenager for help using the Internet，and 41% have received teen advice about how to use the TV or home entertainment system．
Ahad Surooprajally，a father of five children，says his children help him with technology in the home．"They've grown up surrounded by technology，"he explains．"We have four computers and four iPads in our house．If I want to know something technical they're the ones I go to．"
He says his nine-year-old son Habeeb is the only person in the house who really understands the TV．So he tells Habeeb which film he wants to watch and Habeeb connects his mobile phone to the TV．"You teach your kids everyday life lessons，but the tables are turned when it comes to technology，"says Ahad．
As well as learning how to use technology properly，there is another advantage of parents asking their children to help them understand the digital world，They may be able to get a better understanding of what their kids are doing online．
Will Gardner of the charity Childnet International says，"We have to continuously encourage parents to find out more about what their children are doing on line．If the kids are using a social networking site，get them to show you around it if you are not using it already．"

9．_____difficult problems we may come across，we'll help one another to solve them．（　　）

8．A rapidly advancing contemporary science that is highly dependent on new tools is Earth system science．Earth system science involves observation and measurements on the Earth at all scales from the largest to the smallest．The huge amounts of data that are gathered come from many different locations and require special techniques for handling data．Important new tools that facilitate Earth system science include satellite remote sensing，small deep-sea submarines，and geographic information systems．
More than any other way of gathering evidence，satellite observations continually remind us that each part of the Earth interacts with and is dependent on all other parts．
Earth system science was born from the realization of that interdependence．Satellite remote sensing makes possible observations at large scales，and in many cases，measurements of factors that could not otherwise be measured．For example，the ozone hole over Antarctica--the decrease in the concentration of ozone high in the atmosphere--is measured by remote sensing，as are changes in deserts，forests，and farmlands around the world．Such measurements can be used in many areas of specialization besides Earth system science．Archaeology，for example，has benefited from satellite observations that reveal the traces of ancient trade routes across the Arabian Desert．
New tools for exploring previously inaccessible areas of the Earth have also added greatly to our knowledge of the Earth system．Small deep-sea submarines allow scientists to travel to the depths of the ocean．There they have discovered new species and ecosystems thriving near deep-sea vents that emit heat，sasses，and mineral-rich water．
Just as important as new methods of measurement and exploration are new ways to store and analyze data about the Earth system．Computer-based software programs known as geographic information systems，or GIS，allow a large number of data points to be stored along with their locations．These can be used to produce maps and to compare different sets of information gathered at different times．For example，satellite remote sensing images of a forest can be converted to represent stages in the forest's growth．Two such images，made at different times can be overlaid and compared，and the changes that have taken place can be represented in a new image．

74．The word"facilitate"in Paragraph I is closest in meaning toA．
A．enable
B．require
C．organize
D．examine
75．The author of the passage mentions that satellite observations are especially effective inD．
A．conducting scientific studies of life on the ocean floor
B．predicting future climate changes
C．providing data to determine Earth's age
D．demonstrating interactions among all of Earth's parts
76．According to the passage，satellite observations of the Arabian Desert allow archaeologists to knowA．
A．indications of ancient routes
B．evidence of former lakes
C．traces of early farms
D．remains of ancient forests
77．What is the main idea of the passageB？
A．special techniques are needed to classify the huge amounts of data about Earth．
B．New tools provide information about Earth that was once impossible to obtain．
C．Advances in Earth system science have resolved many environmental problems．
D．Satellite remote sensing can show changes between two images taken years apart．

6．When a big boat，like a cruise ship，goes through the ocean，it often creates waves．This happens when the large engines on the back of the cruise ship cause the water on the ocean's surface move up and down violently．These waves move out from the boat in both directions．If you are captaining a smaller boat，you'd better steer clear of a ship's wake，so that your boat is not surfing on the waves，causing it to overturn
A wave is a pattern of motion．When you look at a wave，it may appear as simply water moving across the surface of the ocean．In fact，this is false．The water is actually not moving in the same direction as the wave．While the wave itself--the pattern of motion-is moving across the surface of the ocean，the water is actually moving in a circular motion，which brings the water molecules back to their original position．The water merely gives the appearance of moving forward．
If this is confusing，think of the kind of wave you do at a baseball stadium．Viewed from a distance，the wave is clearly moving across the stadium．But the thing that makes up the wave-the people-are not moving across the stadium，they're just moving up and down in their seats．This is just like the water in an ocean wave．A lot of water is moving up and down，which gives water the appearance of moving along with the wave．
Surfers pay a lot of attention to waves．If you're not in an area where the waves are suitable for surfing，then you can't surf．Usually，surfers gather in areas known for big waves-waves that rise high off the ocean's surface．If the wave is bigger，then the surfer is often able to surf for longer distances and perform more tricks．The height of a wave is known as its amplitude．If you could make a wave freeze，then you could measure the wave's amplitude by running a tape measure from the ocean's surface to the very peak of the wave．
All waves can be measured using amplitude and wavelength．While the waves created by a boat have very small amplitude-sometimes as small as a few centimeters-the wavelength can be very short，as lots of waves are being generated．By contrast，a tsunami has very high amplitude，sometimes more than 100feet，but a relatively long wavelength，as it's a high wave．
Waves generated in the same way can have great differences in amplitude and wavelength．For example，think back to the cruise ship．While each ship creates waves caused by the movement of the boat，the properties of each of the waves may be very different．For example，a larger cruise ship，with powerful engines，may create a wave that has high amplitude and a short wavelength．However，if the ship's engines slow down，they may then start creating less powerful waves at a slower rate．This would cause the waves'amplitude to decrease，but its wavelength to increase．

74．What does the phrase"steer clear of a cruise ship's wake"in the 1^st paragraph meanC？
A．keep awake while steering a ship
B．get a clear view of what is ahead
C．keep away from the cruise ship
D．follow the cruise ship very closely
75．The author gives an example of wave people do in the stadium in order toD．
A．illustrate how excited people are in a basketball stadium
B．clear the confusion over measuring the wave's amplitude
C．demonstrate how to make waves in a basketball stadium
D．explain why the water appears to move along the waves
76．The last paragraph gives us the impression thatB．
A．the wave's amplitude may vary，but its wavelength remain the same
B．the move powerful the ships engines are，the higher the waves they generate
C．the amplitude of a wave depends on the direction the water moves forward
D．measuring the amplitude and wavelength of waves is not quite easy
77．What is this passage mainly aboutA？
A．How waves are created and measured．
B．What makes the sea water move forwards．
C．Why people create waves in the stadium．
D．How to steer a cruise ship in the rough sea．

Settling in to life at Oxford

When you first arrive in Oxford，it may take a little while for you to find your way around．The university is a large organization that is fully integrated into the city and has been evolving for 800years．Some of the first things our students do when they arrive include finding a bike（most students in Oxford find cycling is the best way to go around），setting up a bank account，getting their computer and mobile phone working，finding their department，getting to know their college and working out the best places to socialize．
One of the major events you will experience shortly after"coming up"to Oxford is matriculation．Matriculation is held at the University's Sheldonian Theatre and is the ceremony at which you are formally admitted to the university．
International students are invited to an orientation day at the start of the academic year．Sessions run throughout the day that will give you practical information about living and studying in UK and introduce you to other graduate students from for all over the world who are starting their studies at Oxford at the same time as you，as well as to current Oxford graduate students and staff who will be able to help and advise you．The day covers topics such as studying and learning in the Oxford system，University services，information on living in Britain and culture differences，as well as addressing practical issues such as employment，immigration and visas，health and safety．You can choose which talks to attend and at the end of the day there is a social hour so you can meet fellow students．
Another good thing to experience early on is college dining．Most colleges have a tradition of regular formal hall dinners，which consist of three or four courses，and the atmosphere of an evening out in a nice restaurant．On some of these occasions you can invite people around to your college for dinner and then they may return the favor．In this way，you can get to know people studying your own and other subjects at the same time as visiting many of the historical college grounds and dining halls．
Further information on your first few weeks at Oxford is available via the Students Gateway on our website，and you can get first-hand accounts of what life at Oxford is like by watching videos of students talking about their experiences on our Wall of 100Faces．
