Miller`s father had moved to the USA from Austria Hungary．D rawn like so many other by the“Great American Dream”Howe ver, he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the earlv les's most famous play, Death of a SaIesman, is a powerful attack on the American system.with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth. In Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into double with his worth. Willy is “burn t out” and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment : if he can't do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the Wagner Company, and he must go. Willy is painfully aware of this, and at loss as to what t o do with his lack of sucess. He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.When it was first staged in 1949 ,the play was greeted with enthusiastic revews,and it won the Tony Award for Best Play,the New York Drama Critics` Circle Award,and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.It was the first play to win all three of these major lerl died of hear failure at his home in Roxbury,Connecticut,on the even ing of February 10,2005,the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see. “We didn‟t want to give the children rubbish,” says Linda. The books-reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood boardmembers-included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats‟s The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney‟s Llama Llama series.Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I’ve never heard of .”The Richters spend about ＄400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die,”says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”Why did Arthur Miller' s father move to the USA?A.

"Teaching means everything to us," Tim would say. In April1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to someserious thinking about life's purpose.Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton' s foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to a ge five in the singer's home town of Sevier, Tennessee.“I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire," Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, "as a reminder."Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imagination library .com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.(7)What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library?A. Give out brochureB.

Hconsiders his efforts worthwhil(11)CDiana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.“I have two kids in college, and I want to say …come home,‟ but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education,” saysJacobs.The Jacobs family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid form the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program. They will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.At the same time, tuition（学费）continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increa sed 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade,“If we go on this way for another 25years, we won‟t have an affordable system of higher ed ucation,” says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”Financial aid administrators have been ha ving a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.(12)How did the Jacobs manage to solve their problem?A. They asked their kids to come homB. They borrowed $20,000 from the schooC. They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobD. They got help from the school and the federal governmen(13)Financial aid administrators believe that _______.A. more families will face the same problem as the JacobsesB. the government will receive more letters of complaintC. college tuition fees will double soonD. America‟s unemployment w ill fall(14)What can we learn about the middle class families from the text?A. They blamed the government for the tuition increasB. Their income remained steady in the last decadC. They will try their best to send kids to collegD. Their debts will be paid off within 25 year(15)According to the last paragraph, the government will .A. provide most students will scholarshipsB. dismiss some financial aid administratorsC. stop the companies from making student loansD. go on providing financial support for college students(16)DSince the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers.Brain-computer interface(BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.Recently, two researchers, Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic school in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated（展示）a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person’s thoughts.In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right band.He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.“our brain has billions of nerve ceils.These send signals through the spinal cord （脊髓）to the muscles to give us the ability to move.But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles,” Tavella says. “Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.”The researchers designed a special cap for the user.This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer.The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair.The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path.They help the computer react to commands from the lan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands.“The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices.One example is this wheelchair.”He says his team has set two goals.One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit frotn.And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.BIC is a technology that can __________A. help to update computer systemsB. link the human brain with computersC. help the disabled to recoverD. control a person's thoughts(17)How" did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?A. By controlling his muscleB. By talking to the machinC. By moving his hanD. By using his min(18)Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?A. scalp→computer→cap→wheelchairB. computer→cap→scalp→wheelchairC. scalp→cap→computer→wheelchairD. cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair(19)The team will test with real patients toA. make profits from themB. prove the technology useful to themC. make them live longerD. learn about their physical condition(20)Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Switzerland, the BCI Research CenterB. New Findings About How the Human B rain WorksC. BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the DisabledD. Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分(1)[1] Do you spend over an hour each day texting messages to your friends? Do you frequently ignore work, study, and other activities to check your phone for messages? Are you anxious and restless if you are separated from your mobile phone,9 Do you hardly ever use your phone to talk any more, and do your thumbs hurt from texting too much?[2] If__________, then it is very possible that you are a textaholic. A textaholic can be defined as someone who is addicted to sending and receiving messages. The main symptoms are a strong desire to text messages, which takes precedence (优先)over everything else, and bad moods, low spirits and a lack of self-confidence if messages fail to come in. The root of the problem, as with many addictions, is the desire to escape from emotional difficulties such as stress, atrxiety and relationship problems. Experts warn that text addiction is likely to become the most common form of addiction in the future, especially among the young. [3] So what can you do if you think you may be a textaholic? The key is to get your life back in balance. Make sure you resist the urge to answer every message you receive, and consider leaving your mobile phone behind occasionally when you go out. Most importantly, make a point of spending quality time with friends and family, and make time to re-learn the art of face-to-face conversation instead of conducting your relationships by means of text messages. Not only will you save time and money, but you may also rediscover the pleasure of true communication.(2)Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words.(no more than 8 words)(3)What emotional difficulties may be the causes of text addiction? (no more than 5 words)(4)What do experts say about text addiction? (no more than 14 words)(5)What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? (no more than 8 words)满分30分(1)假设你是李华，你的美国朋友Tom上个月来到北京学习。

2011年高考山东卷英语试题答案及分析（详细版）
2011年高考山东卷英语试题答案及分析（详细版）选材新颖贴近生活重点突出稳中有变—— 2011 年高考山东卷英语试题分析2011 年高考山东卷英语试题继承了前几年的优点，难度稳定，材料丰富新颖，题目不偏不怪，给高中英语教学以良好的导向。
同时，试题也有一些微妙的变化。
具体说来，今年的英语试题主要有以下几个特点：一、材料新颖，文章话题多样，语言地道，贴近生活这一点主要体现在完形填空、阅读理解和阅读表达的选材上。
今年的英语试题共选用了六篇阅读材料，文章体裁题材多样，话题新颖，分别涉及听音乐会的经历、阿瑟·米勒及其代表作、退休教师夫妇热心公益事业、大学学费上涨、手机短信上瘾等内容。
六篇文章的语言特色鲜明，原汁原味，文中很多句子含意深刻，耐人寻味。
同时，文章的主题贴近生活，为考生所熟悉，尤其是阅读表达题，文章提出了手机短信上瘾的原因、症状以及解决办法。
在人们越来越依赖手机的当今社会，此文在考查考生语言水平的同时，对考生也有一定的教育意义。
二、注重基础，重点突出今年的英语试题依然注重对基础知识的考查，这一点在单项选择题上表现尤为明显。
该部分涉及的知识点，如定语从句、名词性从句、时态、非谓语动词、冠词、代词等，都是中学生应该掌握的基础语言知识。
试题的难度适中，考点不偏不怪，这对中学英语教学有着良好的导向作用。
在注重考查基础知识的同时，单项选择题还突出了英语学习中的重点，这与往年有所不同。
前几年的试题更多地注重知识点的覆盖面，常见的知识点一般都会涉及。
今年试题并没有在各考点上均衡用力，而是加大了对重要知识点如名词性从句、时态等的考查力度；对于词汇的考查则由往年的三、四个题目减少到两个。
鉴于对词汇知识的考查主要由完形填空题来承担，将单项选择题有限的分数集中用于对主要语法点的考查，有利于突出考查重点，明确各题型的考查目标。
三、阅读量控制合理，超纲词处理得当试题的长度直接关系到试题的难度和区分度，也会影响到考试的信度和效度，因此保持相对合理稳定的阅读量对于保证试题的质量至关重要。

Miller‟s father had moved to the USA from Austria-Hungary, drawn like so many others by the “Great American Dream，” However, he experience severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early 1930s.Miller‟s most famous play,Death of a Salesman, is a powerful attack on the American system with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth. In Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into trouble with this system. Willy is “burnt out” and in the true world of business there is no room for sentiment: if he can‟t do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the Wagner Company, and he must go. Willyis painfully aware of this, and at a loss as to do with his lack of success. He refuses to face the face that he has failed and kills himself in the end.When it was first staged in 1949,the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the Tony Award for Best Play, the New York Drama Critics Circle Award, and the Pulitzer prize for Drama. It was the first play to win all three of these major awards.Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut, on the evening of February 10, 2005, the 56th anniversary of first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.56. Why did Arthur Miller‟s Father move to the USA?A. He still is from severe hunger in his home country.B. He was attracted by the “Great American Dream.”C. He hoped to make his son a dramatist.D. His family business failed.57. The play Death of a Salesman__________.A. exposes the cruelty of the American business worldB. discuss the ways to get promoted in a companyC. talks about the business career of Arthur MillerD. focuses on the skills in doing business58. What can we learn about Willy Loman?A. He treats his employer badly.B. He runs the Wagner Company.C. He is a victim of the American system.D. He is regarded as a hero by his colleagues.59. After it was first staged, Death of a Salesman________A. achieved huge success.B. won the first Tony Award.C. The hardship Arthur Miller experienced.D. Arthur Miller and his best-known play.60.What is the text mainly about?A. Arthur Miller and his familyB. The awards Arthur Miller won.C. The hardship Arthur Miller experienced.D. Arthur Miller and his best-known playBTim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York---he in computers, she in special education. “Teaching means everything to us,” Tim would say. In April 1998. he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life‟s purpose.Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton‟s foun dation(基金会)that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer‟s home town of Sevier, Tennessee. …I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire‟,Tim recalls, He placed the brochure on his desk , “as a reminder.”Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk ,Tim clicked on imaginationlibrary com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.The qualityof the books was of grea t concern to the Richter‟s. Rather than sign up online, they want to Dollywood for a look-see. “We didn‟t want to give the children rubbish,” says Linda. The books --- reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists, and Dollywood board members ---- i ncluded classics such as Ezra Jack Keats‟s The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney‟sLlama Llama series.Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four is more than appreciative: “The program introduces us to books I‟ve never heard of.”The Richter‟s spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 child ren. “Some people sit there and wait to die,” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”61. What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life?A. His health problem.B. His love for teaching.C. The influence of his wife.D. The news from the Web.62. What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library?A. Give out brochures.B. Do something similar.C. Write books for children.D. Retire from being a teacher.63. According to the text, Dolly Parton is______.A. a well-known surgeonB. a mother of a four-year-oldC. a singer born in TennesseeD. a computer programmer64. Why did the Richter‟s go to Dollywood?A. To avoid signing up online.B. To meet Dollywood members.C. To make sure the books were the newest.D. To see if the books were of good quality.65. What can learn from Tim‟s words in the last paragraph?A. He needs more money to help the children.B. He wonders why some people are so busy.C. He tries to save those waiting to die.D. He considers his efforts worthwhile.CDiana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.“I have two kids in college, and I want to say …come home.‟but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education.” says Jacobs.The Jacobs family did work out a solution :They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan(贷款）program. They will each graduate with 20,000 of debt , but at least they will be able to finish school.With unemployment rising ,financial aid administrators expect to hear from more families like the Jacobses . More students are applying for aid , and more families except to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.At the same time , tuition(学费)continues to rise . A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade."If we go on this way for another 25 years , we won't have an affordable system of higher education." says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center . "The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a hugeamount of debt."Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.66. According to Paragraph I, why did the plan of the Jacobs family fail?A. The twins wasted too much money.B. The father was out of work.C. Their savings ran out.D. The family fell apart.67. How did the Jacobses manage to solve their problem?A. They asked their kids to come home.B. They borrowed ＄20,000 from the schools.C. They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs.D. They got help from the schools and the federal government.68. Financial aid administrators believe that .A. more families will face the same problem as the Jacobses .B. the government will receive more letters of complaint.C. college tuition fees will double soon.D. America,s unemployment will fall.69. What can we learn about the middle class families from the text?A. They blamed the government for the tuition increase.B. Their income remained steady in the last decade.C. They will try their best to send kids to college.D. Their debts will be paid off within 25 years.70. According to the last paragraph, the government will ________.A. provide most students with scholarshipsB. dismiss some financial aid administratorsC. stop the companies from making student loansD. go on providing financial support for college studentsDSince the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.Recently, two researchers. Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic School in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated（展示）a small robotic wheelchair by a person‟s thoughts.“Our brain has bi llions of nerve cells. These send signals through the spinal cord(脊髓) to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles .” Tavella says. “our sys tem allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.”The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮)and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain.Prof. Millan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that brainsignals and turns them into simple commands. “The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories, communication, and controlling devices. One example is this wheelchair.”He says his team has set two goals .One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology 71．BCI is technology that can .A. help to update computer systemsB. link the human brain with computerC. help the disabled to recoverD. control a person‟s thoughts72．How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?A. By controlling his muscles.B. By talking to the machineC. By moving his hand.D. By using his mind.73．Which of following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?A. scalp→computer→cap→ wheelchairB. computer →cap→scalp→ wheelchairC. scalp→cap→computer→ wheelchairD. cap→computer→ s calp→ wheelchair74．The team will test with real patients to _______A. make profits from themB. prove the technology useful to themC. make them live longerD. learn about their physical condition75．Which of the following would be the best title for the test?A. Switzerland, the BCI Research CenterB. New Findings About How the Hungry Brain WorksC. BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the DisabledD. Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries第Ⅱ卷（共45分）第四部分书面表达（共两节，满分45分）第一节阅读表达（第76题2分，第77、78、80题每题3分，第79题4分，满分15分）[1] Do you spend over an hour each day texting messages to your friends？Do you frequently ignore work, study, and other activities to check your phone for messages？Are you anxious and restless if you are separated from your mobile phone？Do you hardly ever use your phone to talk any more, and do your thumbs hurt from texting too much？[2] If ,then it is very possible that you are a textaholic. A textaholic can be defined as someone who is addicted to sending and receiving messages. The main symptoms are a strong desire to text messages, which takes preccdence（优先）over everything else. And bad moods, low spirits and a lack of self-confidence if messages fail to come in. The root of the problem, as with many addictions, is the desire to escape from emotional difficulties such as stress, anxiety and relationship problems. Experts warn that text addiction is likely to become the most common form of addiction in the future, especially among the young.[3] So what can you do if you think you may be a textaholic ? The key is to get your life back in balance. Make sure you resist the urge to answer every message you receive, and consider leaving your mobile phone behind occasionally when you go out. Most importantly, make a point of spending quality time with friends and family, and make time to re-learn the art of face-to-face conversation instead of conducting your relationships by means of text messages. Not only will you save time and money, but you may also rediscover the pleasure of true communication.76.How does the author introduce the topic of the text?(no more than 5 words)_______________________________________________________________77.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words.(no more than 8 words)_____________________________________________________78.What emotional difficulties may be the causes of text addiction?

2011年高考山东卷(英语)解析
2011年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（山东卷）英语参考答案与解题提示听力略21．【答案】B【命题立意】考查冠词用法。
【解题思路】第一空表示泛指，a short distance意为“一段短距离”；第二空表示特指，指说话者双方心中所指的饭店。
故选B项。
22．【答案】D【命题立意】考查情景交际。
【解题思路】句意为：对不起，我打碎了花瓶。
哦，没关系。
这不是很贵。
That’s all right意为“没关系”，符合语境，故选D项。
23．【答案】C【命题立意】考查“祈使句+and／or+陈述句”固定句型。
【解题思路】“祈使句十and／or+陈述句”是固定句型，其中祈使句相当于一个条件状语从句。
用and表示前后是顺承关系，如果表示转折，则用or。
句意为：想办法经常表扬孩子，你发现他们会向你敞开心扉。
故选C。
24．【答案】A【命题立意】考查代词it作形式宾语的用法。
【解题思路】分析句子结构可知，代词it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是动词不定式 to tell one from the other。
故选 A 项。
25．【答案】B【命题立意】考查动词短语辨析。
【解题思路】句意为：他们拓宽桥面以加快交通流量的速度。
speed up意为“加速，加快”，符合题意。
put off意为“推迟”；turn on意为“打开”；work out意为“算出；解决；证明”。
故选B项。
【思维拓展】单项选择中经常会给出搭配相似的短语让考生辨析，如： bring about，break out， turn away， take in， pay off 等。
26．【答案】D【命题立意】考查表语从句。
【解题思路】句意为：恐怕他是夸夸其谈而非埋头实干的人，这就是他一事无成的原因。
此处表语从句和上文是因果关系，所以用连接副词why引导表语从句。
故选D项。
27．【答案】A【命题立意】考查非谓语动词。
【解题思路】分析句子结构可知，动词lead和被修饰词path之间构成主谓关系，所以用现在分词作定语。

Miller’s father had moved to the USA from Austria-Hungary, drawn like so many others by the “Great American Dream.” However, he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early 1930s.Miller’s most famous play, Death of a Salesman, is a powerful attack on the American system. with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth. In Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into trouble with this system. Willy is “burnt out” and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment: if he can’t do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the Wagner Company, and he must go. Willy is painfully aware of this, and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success. He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.When it was first staged in 1949, the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the Tony Award for Best Play, the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It was the first play to win all three of these major awards.Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut, on the evening of February 10, 2005, the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.56.

In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It wasthe kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life’s purpose.Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton’s foundation(基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer’s home town of Sevier, Tennessee . “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire,” Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, “as a reminder.”Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on . The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see, literacy specialists, and Dollywood board members—included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats’s The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney’s Llama Llama series.Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I’ve never heard of .”T he Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children, “Some people sit there and wait to die,” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the timeThey have left.”61. What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life?A. His health problemB. His love for teachingC. The influence of his wifeD. The news from the Web62.

According to the text, Dolly Parton is _______.A. a well-known surgeonB. a mother of a four-year-oldC. a singer born in TennesseeD. a computer programmer64. Why did the Richters go to Dollywood?A. To avoid signing up onlineB. To meet Dollywood board membersC. To make sure the books were the newestD. To see if the books were of good quality65. What can we learn from Tim’s words in the last paragraph?A. He needs more money to help the children.B. He wonders why some people are so busyC. He tries to save those waiting to dieD. He considers his efforts worthwhileCDiana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.“I have two kids in college, and I want to say ‘come home,’ but at the same time I want to provi de them with a good education,” says Jacobs.The Jacobs family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan(贷款)program. They will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear from more families like the Jacobses. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.At the same time，tuition(学费)continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%.Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade.“If we go on this way for another 25 years, we won’t have an affordable system of higher education,” says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.66. According to Paragraph 1, why did the plan of the Jacobs family fail?A. The twins wasted too much money.B. The father was out of work.C. Their savings ran out.D. The family fell out.67. How old the Jacobses manage to solve their problem?A. They asked their kids to come home.B. They borrowed $20,000 from the schools.C. They got help from the schools and the federal government.68. Financial aid administrators believe that _______.A. more families will face the same problem as the JacobsesB. the government will receive more letters of complaintC. college tuition fees will double soonD. America’s unemployment will fall69. What can we learn about the middle class families from the text?A. They blame the government for the tuition increase.B. their income remained steady in the last decade.C. They will try their best to send kids to college.D. Their debts will be paid off within 25 years.70. According to the last paragraph, the government will ______.A. provide most students with scholarshipsB. dismiss some financial aid administratorsC. stop the companies from making student loansD. go on providing financial support for college studentsDSince the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.Recently, two researchers, Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic School in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated(展示) a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person’s thoughts.In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.“Our brain has billions of nerve cells. These send signals through the spinal cord(脊髓) to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles,”Tave lla says. “Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.”The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain.Prof. Millan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands. “The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices. One example is this wheelchair.”He says his team has set two goals. One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.71. BCI is a technology that can ________.A. help to update computer systemsB. link the human brain with computersC. help the disabled to recoverD. cont rol a person’s thoughts72. How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?A. By controlling his musclesB. By talking to the machineC. By moving his handD. By using his mind.73. Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?A. scalp→computer→cap→wheelchairB. computer→cap→scalp→wheelchairC. scalp→cap→computer→wheelchairD. cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair74. The team will test with real patients to ________.A. make profits from themB. prove the technology useful to themC. make them live longerD. learn about their physical condition75. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Switzerland. The BCI Research CenterB. New Findings About How the Human Brain WorksC. BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the DisabledD. Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries五．书面表达：[1] Do you spend over an hour each day texting messages to your friends? Do you frequently ignore work, study, and other activities to check your phone for messages? Are you anxious and restless if you are separated from your mobile phone? Do you hardly ever use your phone to talk any more, and do you thumbs hurt from texting too much?[2] If _________, then it is very possible that you are a textaholic. A textaholic can be defined as someone who is addicted to sending and receiving messages. The main symptoms are a strong desire to text messages, which takes precedence(优先) over everything else, and bad moods, low spirits and a lack of self-confidence if messages fail to come in. The root of the problem, as with many addictions, is the desire to escape from emotional difficulties such as stress, anxiety and relationship problems. Experts warn that text addiction is likely to become the most common form of addiction in the future, especially among the young.[3] So what can you do if you think you may be a textaholic? The key is to get your life back in balance. Make sure you resist the urge to answer every message you receive, and consider leaving your mobile phone behind occasionally when you go out. Most importantly, make a point of spending quality time with friends and family, and make time to re-learn the art of face-to face conversation instead of conducting your relationships by means of text messages. Not only will you save time and money, but you may also rediscover the pleasure of true communication. 76.
