My disabilities were caused by lack of oxygen to my brain when I wasa five-year-old boy. I grew up knowing I was different. The first time I felt hurt and left out was in Grade Five. The other fourth and fifth graders played together in gym class, while I was put in the second grade gym class. One day, a famous football player visited the fourth and fifth grade P.E. class. All the kids got his autograph except me because I was with the second graders playing games. Mom called the school to tell them it wasn’t fair, but the school scolded me for complaining too much.In the 1980s, when my mom was giving birth to my sister, she had made a major stroke（中风）and died. My dad became even more distant. I was very sad and began using alcohol to ease the pain.Dad got remarried in 1985. Everyone went to his wedding except me; he told me to stay at home and watchthe house. When my high school ball came around, I wanted to go but wasn’t allowed. When I graduated, my dad and step-mom refused to hold a party for me. They put me in a group home after graduation.My life changed when I became a local leader of the National Self-advocacy（自我辩护）Group. At first, I thought the group wasn’t for me, until I found out it was all about empowerment（授权）! My goal is to be the voice for people who haven’t been heard and to empower them. Many families, like mine, don’t believe their disabled families have a voice or mind of their own.Looking back over my 16 years of leadership experience, I ’m proud that I ’ve helped disabled people. They should be encouraged to never give up and to follow their own path.56. When the writer was in the fifth grade, he .A. was hurt by his classmates in schoolB. felt left out for the first time in his lifeC. studied with the second gradersD. often complained about the school57. According to the passage, the writer .A. was born disabledB. didn’t study well at schoolC. was happy in his childhoodD. didn’t get along well with his father58. From the passage we can know that the National Self-advocacy Group is .A. an organization that gives disabled people helpB. a club organized completely by disabled peopleC. a hospital which only treats people with disabilitiesD. a school that teaches parents how to deal with their disabled kidsBThere are robots all around us. Some do very complicated jobs like flying airplanes and driving subway trains. And some do one simple job. When an automatic washing machine is switched on , water pours in. The machine waits until the water is warm enough for washing clothes. It does this by “fee dback(反馈)” . Information about what is happening is feedback into the robot to tell what to do next. Our eyes, ears and other senses are our feedback. They tell us what is going on around us . So robots are like human beings in two ways.They work and they have feedback.In some ways robots are better than human beings. They work quickly and do not make mistakes. They do not get bored doing the same job over and over again. And they never get tired. So robots are very useful in factories. They can be taught to do many different jobs. First their electronic brain must be shown how the job is done, A person moves the robot’s “arms” and “hands” through each part of the job.The most intelligent robots can move and see. Their eyes are cameras. Their fingers can feel shapes and sizes of the objects. These robots have computer brains linked to their eyes and fingers, which control their actions. The expensive robots are used in scientific research. They do such jobs as handling radioactive materials.59. In this passage the author tells us that .A. robots are very popularB. there are various kinds of robotsC. we see robots only at certain timesD. robots can be easily controlled60. What does the author seem to inform you about robots?A. They should be greatly improvedB. They will probably take over in the futureC. They are very hopeful and useful to humansD. They are machines that break down a lot61. The author says that in industry .A. robots break down a lotB. robots can do many jobsC. robots only get in the wayD. robots sometimes cause troubles62. The fact that a robot never gets bored doing the same job means that .A. it is very much like human beingsB. it can do boring jobs for peopleC. it will never bore peopleD. it will work much better than human beingsCDriving while talking on a hand-held mobile phone has long been considered a danger. But even drivers who use hands free devices are a nuisance – because they are slowing everyone else down, according to a study.David Strayer, a psychology professor in Utah University’s traffic lab, conducted a study involving 36 university students driving on motorways. Each used a hands free phone for half the trip but not for the other half. The students were told to obey posted speed limits and use turn signals but the rest of the driving decisions were up to them . What Strayer found is that when the drivers were distracted（使分心）by a phone conversation , they made fewer lane（车道）changes, drove slower and took longer to get where they were going. Fellow researcher Professor Peter Martin, who teaches civil and environmental engineering at Utat University, said, “Ordinarily a slower driver should be safer ，but that’s not the case when people are talking on a cell phone.”In general , drivers who used mobile phones while driving took three percent longer to drive along the same high-density route than drivers who didn’t. When stuck behind a dawdling(磨蹭的) driver , it took them between 25 and 50 seconds longer to switch to an open lane to overtake. Those delays can add up when you consider studies that suggest as many as 10 percent of US drivers are using a cell phone at any one time. And delays in traffic streams of very small amou nts can grow into massively when drivers are crossing a highway.” Our next step is to use computer models to determine just how much those delays are costing drivers in time and in extra fuel costs,” Martrin said.63. What does the underlined word in the first paragraph mean?A. A person who is a volunteer.B. A person who breaks the traffic lawC. A person who is annoyed by others.D. A person who causes trouble64. Which of the following is TRUE , according to Martin?A. The more slowly a person drove, the safer he was.B. Measures should be taken to stop using mobile phones.C. Drivers using hand-held phones had less effect on traffic than those using hands free phonesD. Driving while using mobile phones could cost drivers time and money.65. The passage is mainly about .A. traffic conditions in rush hoursB. the use of mobile phones in the USAC. using hands free devices behind the wheelD. a comparison between hand-held phones and hands free ones第二节：（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
