"It was extremely touching and comforting to know that somebody had taken the time to do that for my family. It was a moment I'll never forget. ”Susan soon learned the artist was her son's surgeon, Robert Parry, who discovered another way to use his hands in the mid-1980 s during his internship (实习期)at a children's medical center, where he saw one of his colleagues cut out heart and shark shapes to decorate children’s bandages."My first reaction was, ' What is he doing? Hey, that's kind of neat,’ ” Parry recalled. I especially liked the reactions of the parents and the patients when they saw his artwork. The smiles took everyone’s attention from the surgery. Then I decided to follow suit. ”.Parry quickly graduated from his early hearts and sharks, and started to surprise families with drawings that captured young patients' personalities. From Snoopy to Spider-Man and bears to butterflies, there isn’t much he hasn't drawn. Most kids want superheroes sports teamlogos or princesses, while babies often receive scenes with flowers trees and seacreatures .During the last 30 years, Parry estimates he has left examples of his handiwork over the stitches(伤口缝线) of more than 10,000 children."During a time of stress for families, it's nice to be able to help them smile and laugh, "Parry said. " This is something positive that I can do for them, which is what I like most about it. ”For Parry, the reward is knowing he hopefully made a difference in a child’s life, and except for his drawings on bandages, “they can go on and live their lives and never know I was in it. ” he said.He's not ready to retire, but he's found a new hobby to keep his hands skillful in the years to come.“I’ve taken up knitting(编织)," Parry said. "Hats, sweaters, gloves--I enjoy it all. But mostly, I enjoy giving everything away . ”40.Susan burst into tears after her baby's operation because she was_________. A.moved B.amusedC.stressed D.heartbroken41.How did Parry get the idea of decorating children’s bandages?A.He was motivated by his patients.B.He was inspired by his colleague.C.He was required to learn the skill during his internship.D.He was encouraged by Susan to show his genius for art.42.Parry 's artworks during the last 30 years show that he________.A.devoted himself more to art than to medicine.B.knew more about his patients than their parents.C.took into consideration the tastes of individual patients.D.created a large number of works beyond his expectations.43.What does Parry expect to achieve with his artworks?A.To get a reward from the artistic circle.B.To win the admiration of his colleagues.C.To make a difference in his dull medical career.D.To lift the spirits of his patients and their parents.44.What can we learn about Parry from the last two paragraphs of the passage?A.He is eager to show others his new skills.B.He enjoys trying new ways to help others.C.He is looking forward to life after retirement.D.He is more interested in knitting than drawing.Transport has a lot to answer for when it comes to harming the planet. While cars and trains are moving towards greener, electric power, emissions from air travel are expected to increase massively by 2050. If we want big green sky solutions, we need blue sky thinking. Fortunately, there's plenty of that happening right now, particularly the short-haul flights powered by batteries.Harbour Air is the largest seaplane airline in North America, flying 30, 000 commercial flights in 40 seaplanes each year. Significantly, all Harbour Air routes last less than 30 minutes, making it perfectly fit for electric engines. “As an airline, were currently in the process of turning all our planes into electric airplanes. ” says CEO Greg McDougall. To make this happen, the airline has partnered up with MagniX to create the world's first commercial flight with an electric engine.Making the skies electric isn't just good for the environment, it also makes sound financial sense: a small aircraft uses $400 on conventional fuel for a 100-mile flight, while an electric one costs $8-12 for the same distance, and that's before you factor in the higher maintenance costs of a traditional engine. There's also the added bonus that electric planes are just much more pleasant to fly in. No loud engine noise, no smell of fuel, just environmentally friendly peace and quiet.While there has been real progress in the e-plane industry, the technical challenges that remain are keeping everyone's feet firmly on the ground. A battery, even a lithium one, only provides 250 watt-hours per kilogram; compare this to liquid fuel, which has a specific energy of 11, 890 watt-hours per kilogram. Carrying adequate batteries, however, would make theplane too heavy to get off the ground. In aircraft, where every bit of weight counts, this can't just be ignored.The transition (过渡) from gas to electric in the automobile industry has been made easier by hybrids-vehicles powered by both fuel and electricity. Many believe the same patter could be followed in the air. Fuel consumption could be reduced as the electric component is switched on at key parts of the journey, especially on take-off and landing.It's certainly an exciting time for electric flying.

If you're studying history, asking yourself the question "why is history important" is a very good first step. History is an essential part of human civilization. You will find something here that will arouse your interest, or get you thinking about the significance of history.History grounds us in our roots. History is an important and interesting field of study, and learning the history of our home country can give us a deeper, more meaningful glimpse(一瞥)into our ancestral pasts, and how we got to where we are today. Many people feel like they need a sense of cultural belonging, which is something that studying your roots and being open-minded to the evolution of your culture can provide.History enriches our experience. Reading history is an amazing experience because it enables us to reflect on the social and economic life of the people living long time ago According to the experts, problems faced by people regardless of the past and present are the same. With the information about the ancestors, one can become more experienced in handling challenges of life.History makes us more empathetic.(具有共情能力的). Studying history can give us insight(洞察力)into why our culture does certain things, and how the past has shaped it into what we know now. It also provides a rather strong foundation for empathy across cultures. Fear and hate for others is usually caused by ignorance(无知). We're scared of the things that we don't understand. History has the potential to break down those boundaries by offering us insight into entire worlds that would otherwise be foreign to us.History can inspire us to learn more. What's fantastic about history is the way it broadens our horizons. It's almost impossible to learn about one historical period without having dozens of questions about related concepts. Study the 19th century England, and you might catch a glimpse of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist. Look up Charles Dickens, and you might learn a thing or two about realism. Or maybe you end up switching your attention away from novels, and discover the history of romantic poets in England. It can go anywhere, and there issomething in there for absolutely anybody.The value of history cannot be underestimated. We don't have to live in the past, but we can definitely do better by learning from it and using the lessons learnt to lead more meaningful lives.51.The underlined part "where we are today" in Para. 2 probably means_______.A.the turning point in our historyB.the present state of our nationC.the location of our homelandD.the total area of our country52.According to the experts, why is history useful for people to handle challenges of life? A.The problems at present are similar to those in the past.B.Ancient people laid economic foundations for people today.C.The current challenges of life were predicted by the ancestors.D.People living long time ago knew more about how to solve problems.53.What can be concluded from Para. 4?A.It is difficult to get rid of cultural barriers.B.People are willing to accept foreign cultures.C.Cultural conflicts in history are difficult to ignore.D.History helps us improve our cross-cultural awareness.54.With the example in Para. 5, the writer intends to show that________.A.Charles Dickens contributes much to British literature.B.Oliver Twist can satisfy our curiosity for romantic poets.C.reading novels is a way to learn about a historical period.D.studying history can arouse people's interest in other fields.55.What could be the best title for the passage?A.How to Build Cultural Identity?B.Why Studying History Matters?C.Know the Past, Know the Present.D.History: a Way to Broaden Horizons.阅读短文, 按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

It has changed the way we communicate, shop, and do our work. However, it also has some negative effects.The first negative effect of the Internet is that it can be addictive. Many people spend too much time online, which can lead to problems with their health, relationships, and work. For example, people who spend too much time playing video games may become overweight and develop poor posture. People who spend too much time on social media may become isolated and feel lonely.Another negative effect of the Internet is that it can be harmful to children. There are many websites that contain inappropriate content, such as violence, pornography, and gambling. Children who access these websites may become exposed to harmful material and develop unhealthy habits.Despite these negative effects, the Internet also has many positive effects. For example, it can be a valuable tool for education. Students can use the Internet to research topics, communicate with their teachers, and collaborate with their classmates. The Internet can also be a valuable tool for businesses. Companies can use the Internet to reach a wider audience, sell products online, and communicate with their customers.In conclusion, the Internet is a powerful tool that can be used for good or bad. It is important for us to use it responsibly and be aware of its negative effects.36.

Nothing would settle him. Guessing that I had a long night ahead of me, I brought a portable (手提的) TV into his room, figuring that watching the late movie was as good a way as any to kill off the hours until dawn. To my surprise, as soon as the TV lit up, the baby quieted right down, his little eyes focused brightly on the screen. Not to waste an opportunity for sleep, I then tiptoed out of the room, leaving him to watch the actors celebrate John Bellushi’sforty-fifth birthday.My wife and I heard no more of the baby that night, and the next morning when I went into his room, I found him still watching TV himself.I found in my baby’s behav iour a metaphor(暗喻) for the new generation. My wife and I had given him some books to examine, but he merely spit upon them. When we read to him, he did not feel comfortable. And so it is in the schools. We find that our students don’t read and they look down upon reading and scold those of us who teach it. All they want to do is watching TV. After this experience with the baby, however, I have reached a conclusion: “Let them watch it!” If television is that much more attractive to children than books, why should we fight it? Let them watch all they want!”61. Why did the author bring a TV set into his son’s room?A.To make his son stop crying.B.To spend the night by watching TV programs.C.To leave it to his son.D.To make his son go to sleep as soon as possible.62. The baby’s reaction to the TV program was _________.A. unexpectedB. excitedC. terribleD. calm63. From the passage we know that the author is _______.A. a doctorB. an editorC. a writerD. a teacher64. According to the passage, which is true of the school children?A.The prefer reading to watching TV.B.The like watching TV only after school.C.They would rather watch TV than read books.D.They like their teachers who teach them reading.BShe died on the night of November 22nd. Police surgeon(外科医生) put the time of death as being between 7 and 10 p.m. She had her supper. She usually had it at about half past six. If she did the same on the night of her death, then by the evidence of digestion(消化) she was killed at about eight thirty or nine o’clock. James Bently went out and walked most evenings after dark (he had his own key) and went straight upstairs to his room. Mrs. Megingty had washbasins fixed in the bedrooms because of summer visitors. He read for about half an hour and then went to bed. He heard and noticed nothing unusual. The next morning he came downstairs and looked into the kitchen, but there was no one there and no signs of breakfast being prepared. He said he hesitated a bit and then knocked o n Mrs. Megingty’s door, but got no reply.65. Between 7 and 10 p.m. was the time the police surgeon _______.A. suggested that she had diedB. supposed she had diedC. thought she was dyingD. insisted that she die66. That evening James Bently was out walking by himself _______.A. from 7:15 till about 9 o’clockB. most of the evening after darkC. at 9:00D. the whole night67. When in bed he __________.A.neither heard nor noticed anything wrongB.noticed he had heard nothing on his wayC.had not noticed or heard anything specialD.heard and noticed something strange68. He found ________ the next morning.A. no one there preparing breakfastB. no breakfast signsC. Mrs. Megingty missingD. Mrs. Megingty dyingCPersonal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience.E-mail makes it easier to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren’t necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spen d fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my younger daughter than I might have if she’d been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun—see a great movie perhaps—and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story.With E-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address it to all the friends who you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.E-mail is also an inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use E-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don’t take the place of any of the old ways.69. The purpose of this passage is to ________.A.explain how to use the InternetB.describe the writer’s joy of keeping up with the latest technologyC.tell the merits(价值) and usefulness of the InternetD.introduce the reader to basic knowledge about personal computers and the Internet70. The use of E-mail has made it possible for the writer to ________.A. spend less time workingB. have more free time with his childC. work at home on weekendsD. work at a speed comfortable to him71. According to the writer, E-mail has an obvious advantage over the telephone because the former helps one ________.A.reach a group of people at one time convenientlyB.keep one’s communication as personal as possibleC.pass on much more information than the latterD.get in touch with one’s friends faster than the latter72. The best title for this passage is _________.puter: New Technological AdvancesB.Internet: New Tool to Maintain Good Friendshipputer Have Made Life EasierD.Internet: a Convenient Tool for CommunicationDStage fright disconcerts(使困窘)even the most experienced performers whether they be professional or not. The minute they open their mouths, they begin to tremble, they forget their lines or act, and their performance is beset(困挠) by an aura of misery(痛苦). If the Food and Drug Administration gives its approval, a new drug is going to be provided for the cure of stage fright.Propranolol is a drug used in the treatment of hypertension(过度紧张). Recent studies indicate that the drug relieves the anxiety of performers. An experiment with students at the Juilliard School of Music in New York and at the University of Nebraska was conducted. After taking propranolol, subjects gave solo performances during which their hearts were monitored by an electrocardiograph(心电图). Afterward, their blood pressure was taken. Not only were the symptoms of stage fright improved, but also their heart rates were relatively normal and their critics pleased by their performances.However beneficial propranolol may appear, it must nevertheless be employed properly. Used to control high blood pressure and angina(心绞痛)and to help prevent heart attacks, the drug is dangerous for sufferers of asthma(气喘病), hay fever, and various types of diabetes(糖尿病)and heart conditions. The drug cannot be rashly marketed. Cautious care must be taken to limit its sale.73. Before a drug can be marketed, it must have _______.A.no bad side effectsB.the FDA’s approvalC.provided a cureD.limitless uses74. Propranolol had been widely used _______.A. to cure stage frightB. in schools of musicC. with great cautionD. in the treatment of heart disease75. One of the effects of taking propranolol is _______.A. decreased anxietyB. very slow heartbeatC. an electrocardiogramD. a bad performance76. Presumably the prefix hyper in the word hypertension means _______.A. highB. too muchC. not enoughD. dangerousEHave you heard the one about the traveling saleswoman? It’s not a joke, but a fact that growing numbers of fast-talking, hard-driving women are breaking into the male domain(领域) of corporate sales, working the territory, living out of suitcases, riding like Willy Loman on a smile and a shoeshine.Selling has always been a women’s game, of course. Behind the nation’s retail sales counters, seven out of every ten clerks are women. Women also predominate in the ranks of real-estate agents(房地产代理商). Yet it is only in recent years that women have begun to land the more profitable jobs in the sales forces of business and industry, where they are selling steel, farm equipment, lumber, medicine, electronic equipment and other products not found in the Avon Lady’s carrying case.“For me, sales is the fastest, most efficient way of being well paid for the effort I put out,”said 32-year-old Joyce Walker, who spends roughly eight in every 10 working days away from her New York apartment and on the road selling advertising space.Miss Walker travels in style, dining only in the better restaurants, staying only in the better hotels. On checking in, she sprays the room with Ciara, her favorite perfume, and orders fresh flowers.So much for charm. Life as a traveling saleswoman may also mean arriving at small airports at 2 AM with a 100-pound sample case and no porter in sight. It may mean driving 300 miles a day and lunching on a hamburger and coffee from a tray on the car seat. It may mean listening to vulgar jokes at sales meetings, getting the restaurant table next to the kitchen, getting the motel room next to the ice machine.What makes some women put up with such things?The answer: Money!77. According to the passage, women have recently begun selling all of the following products except_______A.housesB.farm equipmentC.advertisingD.electronic equipment78. One may infer from the selection that a traveling saleswoman _______.A.visits her family a great dealB.frequently sees the best plays and movies on BroadwayC.often faces unpleasant working conditionsD.leads a very social life in her daily work79. Sales are usually_______.A.dull and meaninglessB.tiresomeC.very pleasantD.hard but profitable80. What is the possible title for the passage?A.On traveling saleswomanB.Saleswomen can make more moneyC.Women are more capable than menD.Money makes women work hard五、单词拼写:(10%)81.It is important for students to have a helping learning ________. (环境)82.Dr. Brown led an ________(远征) to find the beginning of the Yangtze River.83.She watched me ________( 好奇)with her eyes wide open as I opened the box.84.Having quarreled with me, she _______( 后悔)losing her temper.85.I found the play so boring beyond________( 描述).86.The astronaut s________ in returning from the moon to the earth according to the plan.87.Are you really d________ at not being chosen?88.If you m_______ twelve by twelve, you will get one hundred and forty-four.89.Their friends are c________ their 50th wedding anniversary, singing and dancing.90.The two lawyers have been a______ about the case for hours in court.六、短文改错:(10%)此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。
