I Am a Pencil

Sam Swope's job was teaching writing to third-graders in New York City. His students were from 21 countries, speaking 11 languages, with different backgrounds. But there were a few things they had in common. Family troubles, for one. Money struggles. And poetry. Every single student, with the help of this creative teacher, came forth with awesome writing. Swope leaves the reader with the inspiring conviction (坚信) that deep within each of us lives a poet.

B

Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Aron Ralston, 28, went hiking in a remote Utah canyon without telling anyone. An unexpected catastrophe struck. With enough supplies only for a day, Ralston knew his situation was full of danger. Sure enough, after five days he was in a fight against death. That was when he carried out a courageous plan - using a pocket knife to cut off his trapped arm. His amazing survival story rests at a place among the classics of the genre (体裁).

C

Our Brother's Keeper

Author Jedwin Smith spent 30 years trying to repress (克制) all memories of his brother, Jeff, who was killed in Vietnam. But in Our Brother's Keeper he tells what happens when the Internet brings him into contact with several of his brother's old Marine friends, including the guy who held Jeff in his arms as he died. First via e-mail, and then in person, Smith gets to know these men.

D

The All Americans

With his graduation from West Point, Henry Romanek sailed toward Omaha Beach on the eve of Dday. It was June 1944, and he was about to face the bloodiest battle of his life. Just yesterday, it seemed, he was a standout soldier on the Army team. Now, he was a leader of youngsters in battle, fighting, quite literally, for his country and the future of the free world. In this book, Lars Anderson retraces Romanek's life and that of three other soldiers.

E

Copies in Seconds

With the push of a button, anyone can make copies of almost anything - unlike the old days, when papers had to be rewritten long-hand, carbon-copied out of fussy mimeograph machines (蜡纸油印机). In Copies in Seconds, David Owen showed how a shy engineer named Chester Carlson perfected his xerography machine (静电复印机) and shopped it around until finally hooking up with the Haloid Corporation. That partnership led to the Xerox copier and changed the face of work forever.

F

State of Grace

Back in the late 1950s and early 1960s, the Lynvets was just a football team in a sandy New York City neighborhood. But to most of its members - the author, Robert Timberg, included - the team was their only experience of a happy family, their only chance to rise above terrible everyday circumstances, their only shot at being heroes. The friendships these men formed sustained (维持) them throughout their lives.

What will man be like in the future-in 5000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.
  Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively short period of time, so we may suppose that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.
  Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.
  On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.
  But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.
  Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with use. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.
61. The passage mainly tells us that ________.
  A. man's life will be different in the future

B. future man will look quite different from us
  C. man is growing taller as time passes

D. man will disappear
62. What serves as the evidence(证据)that man is changing?
  A. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.
  B. Man's hair is getting thinner and thinner.
  C. Man's arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.
  D. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.
63. The change in man's size of forehead is probably because ________.
  A. he makes use only 20 % of the brain's capacity
  B. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries

C. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on
  D. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time
64. What is true about a human being in the future?
  A. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.
  B. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.

C. His fingers grow weaker because he doesn't have to make use of them.
  D. He thinks and feels in different way.
65. We can infer that _______.
  A. human beings will become less attractive in the future.
  B. future life is always predictable
  C. human beings hope for a change in the future life
  D. less use of a bodily organ may lead to its becoming worse

Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.

No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well, which doesn’t mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away, then we feel very sad. We miss them much, but we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again, and we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.

There’s more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people if those don’t have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares, if someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself and stay healthier.

56. The first paragraph tells us __________.

A. none needs friends                                       B. we always need friends around us

C. making friends is the need in people’s life              D. we need to be alone

57. Which of the following is what the writer doesn’t say in the passage?

A. People are happy when their friends leave them.

B. People may never see their friends after their friends move away.

C. People can know their friends in different ways.

D. People like their friends very much if they get to know them.

58. Which of the following is the most probable place people name after friendly people?

A. A house.                  B. A room.                   C. A library.                  D. A village.

59. If people have friends, they would live longer, because __________.

A. they feel happier and healthier                       B. they get a lot of help from their friends

C. they take better care of themselves                D. both A and C

60. This passage tells us __________.

A. that people are all friends                              B. that people need friends

C. how to get to know friends                                  D. how to name a place
