A world-famous Canadian author，Margaret Atwo od，has created the world's first long-distance signing device（装置），the LongPen.
After many tiring book-signing tours from city to city，Atwood thought there must be a better way to do them.She hired some technical experts and started her own company in 2004.Together they designed the LongPen.Here's how it works：The author writes a personal message and signature on a computer tablet（手写板）using a special pen.On the receiving end，in another city，a robotic arm fitted with a regular pen signs the book.The author and fan can talk with each other via webcams（网络摄像机）and computer screens.
Work on the LongPen began in Atwood's basement（地下室）．At first，they had no idea it would be as hard as it turned out to be.The device went through several versions，including one that actually had smoke coming out of it.The inventing finally completed，test runs were made in Ottawa，and the LongPen was officially launched at the 2006 London Book Fair.From here，Atwood conducted two transatlantic book signings of her latest book for fans in Toronto and New York City.
The LongPen produces a unique signature each time because it copies the movement of the author in real time.It has several other potential applications.It could increase credit card security and allow people to sign contracts from another province.The video exchange between signer and receiver can be recorded on DVD for proof when legal documents are used.
“It's really fun，”said the owner of a bookstore，who was present for one of the test runs.“Obviously you can't shake hands with the author，but there are chances for a connection that you don't get from a regular book signing.”
The response to the invention hasn't been all favorable.Atwood has received criticism from authors who think
she's trying to end book tours.But she said，“It will be possible to go to places that you never got sent to before because the publishers couldn't afford it.”
41．Why did Atwood decide to invent the LongPen?
A．To set up her own company.
B．To win herself greater popularity.
C．To write her books in a new way.
D．To make book signings less tiring.
42．How does the LongPen work?
A．It copies the author's signature and prints it on a book.
B．It signs a book while receiving the author's signature.
C．The webcam sends the author's signature to another city.
D．The fan uses it to copy the author's signature himself.
43．What do we know about the invention of the LongPen?
A．It has been completed but not put into use.
B．The basement caught fire by accident.
C．Some versions failed before its test run.
D．The designers were well-prepared for the difficulty.
44．How could the LongPen be used in the future?
A．To draft legal documents.
B．To improve credit card security.
C．To keep a record of the author's ideas.
D．To allow author and fan to exchange videos.
45．What could be inferred from Paragraphs 5 and 6?
A．Atwood doesn't mean to end book tours.
B．Critics think the LongPen is of little use.
C．Bookstore owners don't support the LongPen.
D．Publishers dislike the LongPen for its high cost.

“Dad，” I say one day，“let's take a trip.Why don't you fly out and meet me？”
My father had just retired after 27 years as a manager for IBM.His job filled his day，his thoughts，his life.While he woke up and took a warm shower，I screamed under a freezing waterfall in Peru.While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch，I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks.
My father sees me drifting aimlessly，nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps.He wants me to settle down，but now I want him to find an adventure.
He agrees to travel with me through the national parks.We meet four weeks later in Rapid City.
“What's our first stop？” asks my father.
“What time is it？”
“Still don't have a watch？”
Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore.As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite（花岗岩），his mouth and eyes open slowly，like those of a little boy.
“Unbelievable，” he says.“How was this done？”
A film in the information center shows sculptor Gutzon Borglum devoted 14 years to the sculpture and then left the final touches to his son.
We stare up and I ask myself，Would I ever devote my life to anything?
No directions，no goals.I always used to hear those words in my father's voice.Now I hear them in my own.
The next day we're at Yellowstone National Park，where we have a picnic.
“Did you ever travel with your dad？” I ask.
“Only once，”he says.“I never spoke much with my father.We loved each other—but never said it.Whatever he could give me，he gave.”
That_last_sentence—it's_probably_the_same_thing_I'd_say_about_my_father.And_what_I'd_want_my_chil d_to_say_about_me.
In Glacier National Park，my father says，“I've never seen water so blue.” I have，in several places of the world.I can keep traveling，I realize—and maybe a regular job won't be as dull as I feared.
Weeks after our trip，I call my father.
“The photos from the trip are wonderful，”he says.“We've got to take another trip like that sometime.”
I tell him I've decided to settle down，and I'm wearing a watch.
46．We can learn from Paragraphs 2 and 3 that the father ______.
A．followed the fashion
B．got bored with his job
C．was unhappy with the author's lifestyle
D．liked the author's collection of stamps
47．What does the author realize at Mount Rushmore?
A．His father is interested in sculpture.
B．His father is as innocent as a little boy.
C．He should learn sculpture in the future.
D．He should pursue a specific aim in life.
48．From the underlined paragraph，we can see that the author ______.
A．wants his children to learn from their grandfather
B．comes to understand what parental love means
C．learns how to communicate with his father
D．hopes to give whatever he can to his father
49．What could be inferred about the author and his father from the end of the story?
A．The call solves their disagreements.
B．The Swiss watch has drawn them closer.
C．They decide to learn photography together.
D．They begin to change their attitudes to life.
50．What could be the best title for the passage?
A．Love Nature，Love Life
B．A Son Lost in Adventure
C．A Journey with Dad
D．The Art of Travel
D
People aren't walking any more—if they can figure out a way to avoid it.
I felt superior about this matter until the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel.The journey is a matter of 281 steps.But I used the car.And I wasn't in any hurry，either.I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness：motorosis.
It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune（免疫的），for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs.At that time，we regarded 25 miles as a good day's walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as a sign of strength and skill.It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship.And the effect was lasting.When I was 45 years old I raced—and beat—a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Statue of Liberty.
Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart.But a well-known British physician，Sir Adolphe Abrahams，pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercise.A person who avoids exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly.And walking is an ideal form of exercise—the most familiar and natural of all.
It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot.The man walking can learn the trees，flowers，insects，birds and animals，the significance of seasons，the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world.He cannot learn in a car.
The car is a convenient means of transport，but we have made it our way of life.Many people don't dare to approach Nature any more；to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat.To them security is a_steel_river thundering on a concrete road.And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.
I say that the green of forests is the mind's best light.And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.
51．What is the national sickness?
A．Walking too much.
B．Traveling too much.
C．Driving cars too much.
D．Climbing stairs too much.
52．What was life like when the author was young?
A．People usually went around on foot.
B．People often walked 25 miles a day.
C．People used to climb the Statue of Liberty.
D．People considered a ten-hour walk as a hardship.
53．The author mentions Henry Thoreau to prove that ______.
A．middle-aged people like getting back to nature
B．walking in nature helps enrich one's mind
C．people need regular exercise to keep fit
D．going on foot prevents heart disease
54．What is compared to “a steel river” in Paragraph 6?
A．A queue of cars. B．A ray of traffic light.
C．A flash of lightning. D．A stream of people.
55．What is the author's intention of writing this passage?
A．To tell people to reflect more on life.
B．To recommend people to give up driving.
C．To advise people to do outdoor activities.
D．To encourage people to return to walking.

阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Last December，Doris Low turned 90.Once a week she still drives to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind （CNIB）in Toronto，where she helps transform literature into braille（盲文）to bring the power of story and knowledge to the hearts and minds of blind readers.She has been volunteering her time and talents to such enterprises for more than 40 years.
After working in the business world for a while，Low got fed up.So she turned to teaching at a technical school and later moved into the library.
Low's mother liked reading.As her eyes began to fail，Low read to her.Then “hearing an advertisement encouraging people to learn braille，I decided to give it a try.”In 1973，she was certified as a braille transcriber （转译者）and began transcribing books as a volunteer for the CNIB library.
The job was strenuous—she could get to the end of a page，make a mistake on the last line，and have to do the whole thing again.For a number of years，Low also worked in the CNIB sound studio reading books onto tape.Three years ago，she took up proofreading（校对）at the CNIB's word factory.
In April，during Volunteer Week，the CNIB recognized Low for her great contributions.Thanks to volunteers like Low，the CNIB library has got more than 80,000 accessible materials for people unable to read traditional print.“I can't imagine how many readers of all ages have benefited from Doris' contribution as a skilled volunteer through her rich voice and her high degree of accuracy in the hundreds of books she has brailled and proofread over the years—and she is still doing so，”said a CNIB official.
“For me，”said Low，“the CNIB is more than just a place to volunteer.Three things matter most in my life：a little play，a little work，a little love.I've found them all here.”
56．What does Low still do at the age of 90 at the CNIB？（no more than 10 words）
57．Why did Low learn braille？（no more than 15 words）
58．What does the underlined word “strenuous” most probably mean？（1 world）

2017年6月天津高考英语卷子 阅读C、D翻译
2017 6月 D I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting. But where are we doing a ll of this waiting, and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours? To understand the iss ue, let?s take a look at three types of “waits”. The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait. It is without doubt the most anno ying of all. Take filling up the kitchen sink (洗碗池) as an example. There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it?s full. During these waits, the brain slips away from the body and wan ders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks. This kind of w ait makes the waiter helpless and mindless. A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait. This one requires a bit of discipline. Properly preparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait. Directions are very specific. “Bring three cups of water to boil, add mix, simmer three minutes, remove from heat, let stand fi ve minutes.” I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly. After a ll, Forced Waiting requires patience. Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait. This type of wait is u nusual in that it is for the most part voluntary. Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen. Turning one?s life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, and is strictly for the optim ists among us. On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it. As long as one doesn?t co me to rely on it, wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody. We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting. The next time you?rstanding at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you?ll have to eat until a large bag of c ash falls out of the sky, don?t be desperate. You?re probably just as busy as the next guy. 我在某个地方读到过，我们花了整整三分之一的时间在等待。但是，我们在哪里做这些等待呢?对于像我们这样一个没有耐心的社会来说，这意味着什么呢?为了理解这个问题，让我们来看看三种类型的“等待”。 等待是最纯粹的等待。毫无疑问，这是最令人讨厌的。以厨房洗涤槽为例。当这一切发生的时候，你绝对不能做任何事情，但要让双眼紧盯着水槽，直到它满了为止。在等待的过程中，大脑会从身体上滑出，四处游荡，直到水从柜台边缘流到你的袜子上。这种等待使侍者变得无助和没有头脑。 守望者的表弟是被迫等待的。这需要一点自律。做好包装的面汤，需要有强迫的等待。非常具体的方向。将三杯开水煮沸，加入混合物，煮三分钟，从火中取出，放五分钟。我怀疑是否有人严格遵守了程序。毕竟，强迫等待需要耐心。 也许最强大的等待是幸运的等待。这种等待是不寻常的，因为它大部分是自愿的。不像强迫等待，这也是自愿的，等待你的幸运休息并不一定意味着它会发生。 把一个人的生命变成等待的游戏需要信念和希望，这对我们中间的乐观主义者是严格的。表面上看，这似乎很荒谬，就像在汤混合上的说明一样，但幸运的是，那些愿意去做的人却在等待。只要你不依赖它，希望有几件好事不会伤害到任何人。 我们确实花了很多时间等待。下次你“站在水池边，等着它装满你要吃的面条汤，直到一大袋现金从天上掉下来，不要绝望。”你可能和下一个人一样忙。 C

During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport. He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one. Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath. My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents.

D 事实细节题。由题干中的“February”可将答案锁定在“February 6th”的话题“An Update on the Costwold Canals”中。显然答案为D。 23. A 事实细节题。根据题干中的关键词islands, the Thames可知答案在“March 6th”中。Miranda Vickers 在其报告“Eyots and Aits—Thames Islands”中对泰晤士河中的岛屿做了一个全景的回顾。因此答案为A。 B 【语篇导读】这是一篇记叙文。“我”生活在美国东北部的纽约，那儿的冬季实在让人难以忍受。一次去佛罗里达的Sarasota度周末的机会让“我”深切感受到了宜人的气候是多么令人惬意。尤其是那又大、又软又圆的西红柿。 24. B．推理判断题。由第一段最后一句“dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables”所提供的信息尤其是dulled一词的意义可以推测纽约寒冷的冬季是令人厌烦的。故答案为B。 25. D。事实细节题。根据首段末句可知，让作者最感惬意的事情是逛一逛早七点的农贸市场。因此D项为最佳答案。 26. B。推理判断题。根据第三段第二句可知，作者之所以不再购买冬季的西红柿是因为不论商店里的西红柿看起来多么诱人，买到家里就会变得又干又硬，索然无味。故选B项。 27. C。推理判断题。由最后一段所述可知，Brown’s Grove Farm是新开业的一家餐馆。Jack Dusty是供货方之一。再结合“I was planning to have dinner that very night.”一句可知作者打算去那儿用餐。因此答案为C。 C 【语篇导读】这篇短文主要介绍了现代著名艺术家Dali的作品风格及the world of Dali中的展品情况。28. B。推理判断题。短文首段介绍了艺术家Dali的作品。由“…with an exhibition bring together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more.”一句可知，Dali的作品众多，是一个多产画家。故答案为B。29. A。推理判断题。根据第一段“…the visitors will find the best pieces, most importantly the Persistence of Memory”可知，该作品在Dali的最佳作品中是最重要的，由此可以推断它是Dali的杰作之一。 30. D。事实细节题。根据第二段末句中的“…follo ws a path of time and subject.”可知，Dali的作品是按时间和主题进行布展的。答案选D。 31. A。词义猜测题。由最后一段可知，展出的作品主要来源于两个途径：一是与马德里的一家艺术馆密切合作；一是靠像Salvador Dali Museum这样的机构的捐赠。联系全文大意及前一分句不难推测其它机构捐赠的是艺术作品。因此答案为A。 D 【语篇导读】这是一篇议论文。作者从La Chope咖啡馆的经营特色谈起，介绍了巴黎的一些主题咖啡馆经营理念的变化及其大受欢迎的原因。 32. D。推理判断题。根据短文第一段第二句“”可知，顾客在这里可以学着与他们内心的真实情感取得联系。亦即将自己的真实情感表达出来。故答案为D。 33. A。推理判断题。由第二段“Over the years, Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle…”一句可知，在过去的几年里，巴黎咖啡馆的生意因法国人生活方式的变化而受损。由此可以推断，人们不再那么频繁地光顾咖啡馆了。因此答案为A。

2015年高考全国卷2英语试题及答案（word精校版） 含详细解析 第Ⅰ卷 第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）略 第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） A My color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautiful when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed. Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set. When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my first, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the sit is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble. 21. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set? A.He got an older model than he had expected. B.He couldn’t return it when it was broken. C.He could have bought it at a lower price. D.He failed to find any movie shows on it. 22. Which of the following an best replace the phrase “signed off” in paragraph 1? A.ended all their programs
