AMy parents were in a huge argument, and I was really upset about it. I didn't know who I should talk with about how I was feeling. So I asked Mom to allow me to stay the night at my best friend's house. Though I knew I wouldn't tell her about my parents’ situation, I was looking forward to gettingout of the house. I was in the middle of packing up my things when suddenly the power went out in the neighborhood. Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the power came back on.I was really disappointed because I felt that we did not have much to talk about. But I knew he would be frightened alone in the dark. I went to his room and told him that I'd stay with him until the power was restored. He was quite happy and said, “Great opportunity.”“What is it?” I asked.“To talk, you and I” he said. “To hold a private little meeting about what we’re going to do with your mom and dad, and what we're going to do with ourselves now that we're in the situation we are in.”“But we can't do anything about it. Grandpa,” I said, surprised that here was someone with whom I could share my feelings and someone who was in the same “boat” as I was.And that's how the most unbelievable friendship between my grandfather and me started. Sitting in the dark, we talked about our feelings and fears of life — from how fast things change, to how they sometimes don't change fast enough. That night, because the power went out, I found a new friend, with whom I could safely talk about all my fears and pains, whatever they may be. Suddenly, the l ights all came back on. “Well,” he said, “I guess that means you'll want to go now. I really like ou r talk. I hope the power will go out every few nights!”21.1 wished to get out of the house because __________.A. I was angry about my parents' quarrelB. I found nobody to share my feelings withC. I wanted to escape from the dark houseD. I planned to tell my friend about my trouble22. Grandpa was happy to see me because __________.A. he could discuss the problem with meB. he had not seen me for a long limeC. he was afraid of darknessD. he felt quite lonely23. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The grandchild was eager to leave.B. They would have more chats.C. The lights would go out again.D. It would no longer be dark.BHandshaking, though a European practice is often seen in big cities of China, Nobody knows exactly when the practice started in Europe. It is said that long long ago in Europe when people met, they showed their unarmed (无武器的) hands to each other as a sign of goodwill. As time went on and trade in cities grew rapidly, people in cities began to clap each other’s hands to make a deal or to reach an agreement. This practice was later changed into shaking hands among friends on meeting or leaving each other. “Let’s shake (hands) on it” somet imes means agreement reached.Do the Europeans shake hands wherever they go and with whomever they meet? No. Sometimes the Chinese abroad reach out their hands too often to be polite. It is really very impolite to give your hand when the other party, especially when it is a woman, shows little interest in shaking hands with you and when the meeting does not mean anything to him or her. Even if, for politeness, he holds out his unwilling hand in answer to your uninvited hand, just touch it slightly—There is generally a misunderstanding among the Chinese that westerners are usually open and straightforward, while the Chinese are rather reserved (保守的) in manner. But in fact some people in western countries more reserved than some Chinese today. So it is a good idea to shake hands with a westerner only when he shows interest in further relations with you.24. In the old days in Europe, people put out their unarmed hands to each other __________.A. to make a dealB. to greet each otherC. to show friendlinessD. to reach an agreement25. The first paragraph mainly tells us __________.A. where handshaking was first practicedB. how handshaking came aboutC. about the relationship between handshaking and tradeD. about the practice of handshaking both in Europe and in China26. According to the text, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Westerners are more reserved than the Chinese.B. Westerners are unwilling to shake hands.C. We should make a judgment before shaking hands.D. We shouldn’t shake hands with European women.27. The main purpose of the text is __________.A. to tell us some differences between the East and the WestB. to offer us some important facts about handshakingC. to introduce to us some different customs in the WestD. to give us some advice before we travel abroadCTim 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 wo uld 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 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 th e brochure on his desk as a reminder.Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imagination . 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 w ent 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—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 .”The Richters spend about ＄400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit t here and wait to die,” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”28. What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life?A. His love for teaching.B. His health problem.C.The influence of his wife.D.The news from the Web.29. 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.30. Why did the Richters go to Dollywood?A. To avoid signing up online.B. To meet Dollywood board members.C. To make sure the books were the newest.D. To see if the books were of good quality.31. 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 busy.C. He tries to save those waiting to die.D. He considers his efforts worthwhile.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 to send orders to machines.Recently, two researchers, Jose Milan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic school in Lausanne, Switzerland, showed 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 righthand. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.“Our brain has billions of nerve ce lls. 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 cases can prevent theseweak signals from reaching the muscles,” Tavella says. “Our system allows disabled people to communicate with the outside world and also to control machines.”The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This cap picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the robotic wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain.Prof. Milan, the team leader 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 thatthey can use the technology over long periods of time.32. How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?A. By controlling his muscles.B. By talking to the machine.C. By moving his hand.D. By using his mind.33. Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?A. scalp→computer→cap→wheelchairB. compute r→cap→scalp→wheelchairC. scalp→cap→computer→wheelchairD. cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair34. 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 condition35. 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。
