考题 Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities. If a child has good parents, he is well fed, looked after and loved. It is unlikely that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well known. A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain, or in the snow. His first visit to the seaside is a marvelous adventure．But a child has his pains：he is not so free to do as he wishes as he thinks older people are; he is continually being told what to do and what not to do．Therefore, a child is not happy as he wishes to be.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he becomes free from the discipline of school and parents; but at the same time he is forced to accept．responsibilities. With no one to pay for his food, his clothes, or his room, he has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may get himself into trouble. If, however, he works hard, goes by the law and has good health, he may feel satisfied in seeing himself make steady progress in his job and in building up for himself his own position in society.Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be; but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age comes wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given. The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life; they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them; and, perhaps best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, feel the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving everything to others.21．The happiest people should be those whoA．face up to difficulties in lifeB．hope to be young againC．enjoy life in different agesD．wish to be grown up

考题 I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz concert last Friday. The advertisement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and 4:00. Since I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unfortunately, the theatre is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes waiting for the bus. By the time I saw one come around the comer, there was not enough time left to make the trip. So I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again the next day. On Thursday, my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly twenty minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back across the town. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi, it was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to hear the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, however, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets.1、The man learned ( ) that there would be a concert last Friday.A、 from his friendsB、form. one of his workmatesC、over the radioD、from the newspaper2、He tried to go to the theatre every day but managed to get there only ( ).A、onceB、 twiceC、 three timesD、 four times3、One day the man took ( ) to get to the theatre by bus.A、forty-five minutesB、 fifteen minutesC、 just twenty minutesD、 over an hour4、The underlined word "relieved" may best be replaced by "( )".A、surprisedB、pleaseC、puzzledD、sorry5、The story is mainly about ( ).A、a good concertB、 the bad bus service in this cityC、the difficulty of getting a ticket for a concert in a cityD、someone''s disappointment at missing a concert

考题 Passage FiveMost famous people have some unusual story associated with their names. Casanova, for example, was a legend in his own time. He was the epitome of the gallant adventurer and lover. However, he spent thirteen years of his life as a librarian!Thomas Edison, the brilliant inventor, was deaf from the age of twelve. The young Edison's hearing loss was long believed to have been caused when he tried to catch a moving train and a conductor grabbed him by the ears to pull him on board. Edison himself liked to tell this story. No one is really sure how he did lose his hearing.Great writers and artists often require various types of inspirational warm-up before they create. Rudyard Kipling could not write unless his pen was filled with black ink, and only black ink. Ludwig van Beethoven poured icy cold water over his head before he composed his music. He felt that the cold water would refresh his brain. The author Charles Dickens always faced north when working or sleeping. Tycho Brahe, an important Danish astronomer, had his nose shot off in a duel with a Danish nobleman in 1566. He replaced it with another nose made of gold. President James Garfield could simultaneously write Latin with one hand and Greek with the other.52. This passage is about famous ______.A. scientistsB. personalitiesC. composersD. leaders

考题共用题干第二篇A Phone That Knows You're BusyIt's a modern problem : you're too busy to be disturbed by incessant（连续不断的） phone calls so you turn your cellphone off.But if you don't remember to turn it back onwhen you're less busy,you could miss some important calls.If only the phone knew when it was wise to interrupt you,you wouldn't have to turn it off at all.Instead,it could let calls through when you are not too busy.A bunch of behavior sensors（传感器）and a clever piece of software could do just that,by analyzing your behavior to determine if it's a good time to interrupt you.If built into a phone,the system may decide you're too busy and ask the caller to leave a message or ring back later.James Fogarty and Scott Hudson at Camegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania based their system on tiny microphones,cameras and touch sensors that reveal body language and activity.First they had to study different behaviors to find out which ones strongly predict whether your mind is interrupted.The potential"busyness"signals they focused on included whether the office doors were left open or closed,the time of day,if other people were with the person in question, how close they were to each other,and whether or not the computer was in use.The sensors monitored these and many other factors while four subjects were at work. At random intervals,the subjects rated how interruptible they were on a scale ranging from "highly interruptible"to"highly not-interruptible".Their ratings were then correlated with the various behaviors. " It is a shotgun（随意的）approach: we used all the indicators we could think of and then let statistics find out which were important,"says Hudson.The model showed that using the keyboard,and talking on a landline or to someone else in the office correlated most strongly with how interruptible the subjects judged themselves to be.Interestingly,the computer was actually better than people at predicting when someone was too busy to be interrupted.The computer got it right 82 percent of the time,humans 77 percent.Fogarty speculates that this might be because people doing the interrupting are inevitably biased towards delivering their message,whereas computers don't care.The first application for Hudson and Fogarty's system is likely to be in an instant messaging system,followed by office phones and cellphones. "There is no technological roadblock（障碍）to it being deployed in a couple of years,"says Hudson.During the experiment,the subjects were askedA:to control the sensors and the camera.B:to rate the degrees to which they could be interrupted.C:to compare their behaviors with others'.D:to analyze all the indicators of interruption.

考题问答题Practice 6　　I have known very few writers, but those I have known, and whom I respect, confess at once that they have little idea where they are going when they first set pen to paper. They have a character, perhaps two; they are in that condition of eager discomfort which passes for inspiration; all admit radical changes of destination once the journey has begun; one, to my certain knowledge, spent nine months on a novel about Kashmir, then reset the whole thing in Scottish Highlands. I have never heard anyone making a ‘skeleton’, as we were taught at school. In the breaking and remarking, in the timing, interweaving, beginning afresh, the writer comes to concern things in his material which were not consciously in his mind when he began. This organic process, often leading to moments of extraordinary self-discovery, is of an indescribable fascination. A blurred image appears; he adds a brushstroke and another, and it is gone; but something was there, and he will not rest till he has captured it. Sometimes the years within a writer outlives a book he has written. I have heard of writers who read nothing but their own books; like adolescents they stand before the mirror, and still cannot fathom the exact outline of the vision before them. For the same reason, writers talk interminably about their own books, winkling out hidden meanings, super-imposing new ones, begging response from those around them. Of course a writer doing this is misunderstood: he might as well try to explain a crime or a love affair. He is also, incidentally, an unforgivable bore.　　This temptation to cover the distance between himself and the reader, to study his image in the sight of those who do not know him, can be his undoing: he has begun to write to please.　　A young English writer made the pertinent observation a year or two back that the talent goes into the first draft, and the art into the drafts that follow. For this reason also the writer, like any other artist, has no resting place, no crowd or movement in which he may take comfort, no judgment from outside which can replace the judgment from within. A writer makes order out of the anarchy of his heart; he submits himself to a more ruthless discipline than any critic dreamed of, and when he flirts with fame, he is taking time off from living with himself, from the search for what his world contains at its inmost point.
