In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Ju going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. “I used to hate parties,” says says Margaret, Margaret, Margaret, a a a seventy-year-old seventy-year-old seventy-year-old woman woman woman who who who only only only recently recently recently discovered discovered discovered that that that she she she was was was amusic. amusic. amusic.

The mechanical flyhas become a platform for a series of new high-tech systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks. “It It‟‟s extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individua Home Laundry Automatic Dryer Product Full Two Year Warranty (保修) Limited Five Year Warranty on Cabinet (机箱) Warranty Provides for:FIRST TWO YEARS Amana will repair or replace any faulty part free of charge.

A few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on own,own,”” he said. They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but them has to be matched well to everything it ‟s connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured. While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers ‟ fields or on the battlefield. “Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around,” he said. Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation computation technologies technologies technologies on on on board board board could could could have have have much much much broader broader broader applications. applications. applications. ““ou Y ou can can can start start start thinking thinking thinking about about about using using using them them them to to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots robots instead,instead,instead,”” he he said. said. said. ““So So there there there are are are a a a lot lot lot of of of technologies technologies technologies and and and open open open interesting interesting interesting scientific scientific scientific questions questions questions that that that are are are really really really what what drives us on a day-to-day basis.”72. T he difficulty the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was that _________. A. they had no model in their mind B. they did not have sufficient time C. they had no ready-made components D. they could not assemble the components 73. I t can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that the robotic fly _________. A. consists of a flight device and a control system B. can just fly in limited areas at the present time C. can collect information from many sources D. has been put into wide application 74. W hich of the following can be learned from the passage? A. The robotic flyer is designed to learn about insects. B. Animals are not allowed in biological experiments. C.

虽然他是一个非常热心的人，可他总是害怕去找一份新的工作。
有一天，他终于鼓足勇气决定去参加一个工作面试。
他的面试时间是上午10点，那时候已经到了8：30。
当他本该等着去面试地点的公交车的时候，他看见一个老人很粗暴地踢着自己的汽车轮子。
很明显，他的车坏了。
Jimmy 立刻过去帮了那个老人的忙。
当Jimmy修完汽车的时候，那个老人说：“请允许我开车送你去参加面试，这是我仅能为你做到的了，我坚持这样做。
”Jimmy接受了他的好意。
到达面试的地方，Jimmy发现有很多求职者在等待面试。
他身上还有一些修完汽车之后残留的油渍，可他却没有时间洗干净或者换一件衬衫。
一个接着一个，那些求职者带着失望的表情离开了面试官的办公室。
最后，面试官叫了他的名字。
当时，面试官正面朝办公室的窗户坐在一个大椅子上。
他边摇晃着椅子边问道：“你真的需要应聘这份工作吗？”Jimmy的心沉了下去，心里想着：“看我现在的样子，我怎么可能通过面试呢？” 然后面试官转过了椅子，另Jimmy吃惊的是，他就是早上他曾帮助过的那个老人。
原来那个老人就是这家公司的总经理。
“很抱歉让您一直等着，在您还没踏入这间办公室之前，我就决定让你成为我的员工，我非常确信我做出的决定是正确的。
我只是相信你会成为一名可信赖的员工。
恭喜你！”为他获得的这份新工作，Jimmy坐了下来与老人一起喝了一杯值得享用的咖啡。

Does Fame Drive You Crazy?Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s star, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities —famous people —worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,”Villareal says, “they feel separated and alone.”The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain (抱怨) about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story”alive forever.If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.63. It can be learned from the passage that stars today .A. are often misunderstood by the publicB. can no longer have their privacy protectedC. spend too much on their public appearanceD. care little about how they have come into fame64. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. Great heroes of the past were generally admired.B. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.C. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.D. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.65. What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?A.Availability of modern media.B. Inadequate social recognition.C. Lack of favorable chances.D. Huge population of fans.66. What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?A. Sincere.B. Sceptical.C. Disapproving.D. Sympathetic.63【答案】：B【解析】：此题为细节题。

Having a husband means an extra seven hours of housework each week for women, according to a new study. For men, getting married saves an hour of housework a week. “It’s a well-known pattern,” said lead researcher Frank Stafford at University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research. “Men usually work more outside the home, while women take on more of the housework.” He points out that differences among households(家庭)exist. But in general, marriage means more housework for women and less for men. “And the situation gets worse for women when they have children,” Stafford said. Overall, times are changing in the American home. In 1976, women busied themselves with 26 weekly hours of sweeping-and-dusting work, compared with 17 hours in 2005. Men are taking on more housework, more than doubling their housework hours from six in 1976 to 13 in 2005. Single women in their 20s and 30s did the least housework, about 12 weekly hours, while married women in their 60s and 70s did the most-about 21 hours a week. Men showed a somewhat different pattern, with older men picking up the broom more often than younger men. Single men worked the hardest around the house, more than that of all other age groups of married men. Having children increases housework even further. With more than three children, for example, wives took on more of the extra work, clocking about 28 hours a week compared with husbands’10 hours. 1. According to the “well-known pattern” in Paragraph 1,a married man___________.A. takes on heavier workB. does more houseworkC. is the main breadwinnerD. is the master of the house 2. How many hours of housework did men do every week in the 1970s?A. About 23.B. About 26.C. About 13.D. About y. 3. What kind of man is doing most housework according to the text?A. An unmarried man.B. An older married man.C. A younger married man.D. A married man with children. 4. What can we conclude from Stafford’s research? A. Marriage gives men more freedom. B. Marriage has effects on job choices. C. Housework sharing changes over time. D. Having children means doubled housework. 答案 .C .D .A .C These are the kinds of statements used in magazine, newspaper, radio and television ads, promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device. The promoters of products say they can shape the legs, slim the face, smooth wrinkles, or in some other way to beauty or desirability. Often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their promoter. The re they produce are questionable, and some are dangerous to health. To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public, it is necessary? Understand something of the laws covering their regulation. If the product is a drug, FDA(Food Drug Administration)can require proof (证明)under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that safe and effective before it is put on the market . But if the product is a device, FDA. has no author to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness. If a product already on the marker danger to health, FDA. can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the a voluntarily, or it can take legal action ,including seizure (查封) of the product. One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor, had been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the ## through contact pads. FDA. took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the ## the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life. Olwionsly, most of the devices on the maker never been the subject of court proceedings (法律诉讼),and new devices appear continually, Before buying, it is up to the consumer to thesafety or effectiveness of such items. 1.It can be inferred that ads mentioned in the text are ______.A. objectiveB. costlyC. unreliableD. illegal 2.Which of the following is true according to the text?

The promoters usually just care about profits. 3. FDA. can ask for the proof of safety and effectiveness of a product ________.

The author intends to __________ A. make consumers aware of the promoters’ false promises B. show the weakness of the law on product safety C. give advice on how to keep young and beautiful D. introduce the organization of FDA. 答案 1.C 2.D 3.A 4.B 5.A Few laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect. But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled—to $1. 01 per pack—smokers have jammed telephone “quit lines” across the country seeking to kick the habit. This is not a surprise to public health advocates. They’ve studied the effect of state tax increases for years, finding that smokers, especially teens, are price sensitive. Nor is it a shock to the industry, which fiercely fights every tax increase. The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message. Tobacco taxes improve public health, health, they raise money and most particularly, they deter people from taking up the habit as teens, which is when nearly all smokers are addicted. Yet the rate of taxation varies widely. In Manhattan, for instance, which has the highest tax in the nation, a pack of Marlboro Light Kings cost $10.06 at one drugstore Wednesday. Charleston, S, C., where the 7-cent-a-pack tax is the lowest in the nation. The price was $4. 78. The influence is obvious. In New York, high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys—13.8%, far below the national average. By comparison, 26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky, Other low-tax states have similarly depressing teen-smoking records. Hal Rogers, Representative from Kentucky, like those who are against high tobacco taxes, argues that the burden of the tax falls on low-income Americans “who choose to smoke.” That’s true, But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low-income workers from getting hooked in the first place, As for today’s adults, if the new tax drives them to quit, they will have more to spend on their families, cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better. 1 The text is mainly about___________.A. the price of cigarettesB. tie rate of teen smokingC. the effect of tobacco tax increaseD. the differences in tobacco tax rate 2 What does the author think is a surprise? A. Teen smokers are price sensitive. B. Some states still keep the tobacco tax low. C. Tobacco taxes improve public health. D. Tobacco industry fiercely fights the tax rise. 3. The underlined word "deter” in Paragraph 3 most probably means .A. discardingB. removeC. benefitD. free 4. Rogers’ attitude towards the low-income smokers mightbe that of .A. toleranceB. unconcernC. doubtD. sympathy 5. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The new tax will be beneficial in the long run. B. Low-income Americans are more likely to fall ill. C. Future generations will be hooked on smoking. D. Adults will depend more on their families. 答案 .C .B .A .D .A Brian arrived at the San Francisco airport two hours before the flight to Paris. He was wearing three shirts, a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didn’t have any other luggage. Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package. “Give this package to Jean-Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it. I think you can find him easily, “Tony said.” You don’t have any luggage, right?” “Only this backpack,” Brian answered. “You said I could bring one carry-on bag.” “That’s right, one carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip.” “Thanks.” Is Brian a criminal(犯罪)? Not at all. He is an air courier. And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to Paris. Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day. Often, the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air courier, but it is quick. Every year about 80, 000 people worldwide travel as air couriers. The number of tickets for courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air-courier travel isn’tfor everyone, But if you have very little money, can be flexible(灵活的)about your travel plans, and don’t mind wearing the same clothes for a week, it can be a great way to take a vacation! 1. Why was Brian wearing so many clothes for his travel? A. Because they were the uniform for air couriers, B. Because that made him easier to be recognized. C. Because his backpack had no room for his clothes. D. because he did not have any luggage with him. 2 An air courier is a person who A. manages a business company in foreign countries B. organizes international flights for tourists C. travels around the world with cheap tickets D. delivers papers and packages to foreign countries 3 Businesses choose the air-courier service becauseA. it costs lessB. it is flexibleC. it saves timeD. it grows fast 4 One of the disadvantages of traveling as an air courier is that he A. cannot decide when and where to travel B. cannot take any luggage with him C. has to wear two pairs of jeans D. saves little money from the travel 5 The author of the text mainly A. describes the activities of a law-breaker B. suggests an ideal way to travel C. argues against the air-courier travel D. tells us about a developing business 答案 .C .D .C .A .D Parents and kids today dress alike,listen to the same music,and are friends.Is this a good thing? Sometimes,when Mr.Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth,listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy,such as pop culture,he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager. “I would never have said to my mom,’Hey,the new Weezer album is really great.How do you like it?’”saysBallmer.“There was just a complete gap in taste.” Music was not the only gulf.From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations,earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits. Today,the generation gap has not disappeared,but it is getting narrow in many families.Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago.Now they are comfortable and common.And parent-child activities, from shopping to sports,involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood. No wonder greeting cards today carry the message,“To my mother,my best friend.” But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents. “There’s still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there,but there is a change happening,”says Kerrie,a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College.“In the middle of that change,there is a lot of confusion among parents.” Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes.They see the 1960s as a turning point.Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say. “My parents were on the ‘before’ side of that change,but today’s parents,the 40-year-olds,were on the ‘after’ side,”explains Mr.Ballmer.“It’s not something easily accomplished by parents these days,because life is more difficult to understand or deal with,but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.” 1.The underlined word gulf in Para.3 most probably means .A.interestB.distanceC.differenceD.separation 2.Which of the following shows that the generation gap is disappearing? A.Parents help their children develop interests in more activities. B.Parents put more trust in their children’s abilities. C.Parents and children talk more about sex and drugs. D.Parents share more interests with their children. 3.The change in today’s parent-child relationship is . A.more confusion among parents B.new equality between parents and children C.less respect for parents from children D.more strictness and authority on the part of parents 4.By saying “today’s parents,the 40-year-olds,were on the’after’side,”the author means that today’s parents . A.follow the trend of the change B.can set a limit to the change C.fail to take the change seriously D.have little difficulty adjusting to the change 5.The purpose of the passage is to . A.describe the difficulties today’s parents have met with B.discuss the development of the parent-child relationship C.suggest the ways to handle the parent-child relationship pare today’s parent-child relationship with that in the past 答案 1.B 2.D 3.B 4.A 5.B。
