二、阅读理解 (共 4 道试题,共 48 分)

15.As we grow old, we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that we’ve yet to get around to. Ye re-readers are everywhere around us. For certain fans, re-reading The Lord of the Rings is a conventional practice annually. One friend told me that Jane Austen’s Emma can still surprise him, despite his having read it over 50 times. New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re-reading. Journalist Rebacca Mead, a long-time Englishwoman in New York, first came across George Eliot’s Middlemarch at 17. Since then, she has read it again every five years. With each re-reading, it has opened up further; in each chapter of her life, it has resonated (引起共鸣) differently. Mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good books not only stand the test of repeat reads, but also offer fresh gifts each time we crack their spines. These kinds of books grow with us. Scientists have also recognized the mental health benefits of re-reading. Research conducted with readers in the US found that on our first reading, we are concerned with the “what” and the “why”. Second time round, we’re able to better appreciate the emotions that the plot continues to express. As researcher Cristel Russell of the American University explained, returning to a book “brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great book and its readers.” It’s true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books (if we’re fond of making notes on the pages). These texts can carry us back to a time and place, and remind us of the kind of person that we were then. We’re changed not only by lived experience but also by read experience – by the books that we’ve discovered since last reading the one in our hand. More so than the movie director or the musician, the writer calls upon our imaginations, using words to lead us to picture this declaration of love or that unfaithfulness in life. A book is a joint project between writers and readers, and we must pour so much of ourselves into reading that our own life story can become connected with the story in the book. Perhaps what’s really strange is that we don’t re-read more often. After all, we watch our favourite films again and we wouldn’t think of listening to an album only once. We treasure messy old paintings as objects, yet of all art forms, literature alone is a largely one-time delight. A book, of course, takes up more time, but as Mead confirms, the rewards make it adequately worthwhile.

(1).The two books are mentioned in Paragraph 1 mainly to __________.

A.attract the attention of readers

B.introduce the topic of the passage

C.provide some background information

D.show the similarity between re-readers

(2).The underlined expression “crack their spines” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.

A.recite them

B.re-read them

C.recall them

D.retell them

(3).It can be learned from the passage that __________.

A.reading benefits people both mentally and physically

B.readers mainly focus on feelings on their first reading

C.we know ourselves better through re-reading experience

D.writers inspire the same imaginations as film directors do

21.Dear David, I’m glad you would like to share your feelings with me. It’s hardly surprising that your feelings of not being “grown up” have come on strongly at this point in your life, just before you’re about to become a father. You are asking: will I make a good father? How will I cope? Should I have brought another little person into the world? Can I provide for it? Heeelp! I think nearly every sensitive about-to-be-parent must have these occasional feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy(不适)before the birth and it would be most unusual if you didn’t share them. It’s difficult, honestly, to feel grown-up unless you have something less grown-up to relate to. The boss with a hen-pecking wife may feel like a seven-year-old when he’s at home. But as he walks through the office door, and knows he’s going to be surrounded by staff looking to him for advice, he grows into a fully mature man. And I think it’s a mistake to imagine that we all feel, as we age, a kind of progression of states, from the baby to the adult. Most people feel, on Tuesday, about three years old, and on a Wednesday, around 80. I remember feeling very grown-up at eight, a time when I was weighed down with responsibility. These days, much older, I can, in the company of people I feel at ease with, feel like a young girl. There’s a common remark that “all men are little boys”, but it’s not true. It’s more true that men often behave like little boys. But nearly all people, at some moments in their lives, are capable of great maturity. Once your baby arrives, you’ll soon feel less childlike, or rather, less often. When your child tries to put its fingers into the electric plug, the adult in you will rise up to prevent it. You’ll see you have very little in common with a needy child, particularly if it’s looking to you for comfort and support. Comfort yourself, David, with two truths. One is that your friends laugh when they talk about this subject because they, like you, feel frightened. And remember that people who haven’t grown up don’t go around talking about the fact that they don’t feel grown-up. Hope my advice will be helpful and good luck to you and your little one. Sincerely Yours, Miss Advice

(1).According to the passage, Miss Advice thinks David’s self-doubt _______.

A.valuable

B.natural

C.unusual

D.bearable

(2).From Paragraph 2, we can learn that people’s sense of maturity _______.

A.will increase with age

B.is obviously seen at home

C.changes with different situations

D.becomes stronger with familiar people

(3).Miss Advice holds that _______.

A.all men behave like little boys

B.people tend to laugh at the subject

C.men with a baby feel more grown-up

D.people enjoy talking about their immaturity

 

24.Robotic Puppy Roll over, sit and fetch aren’t commands normally given to a robot, but the smart toy company WowWee has developed a new way of owning a puppy. CHIP (Canine Home Intelligent Pet) is a robotic dog with blue LED eyes and pointy ears and can sit, shake, dance and make all types of dog noises. It also has tracking capabilities to help locate its owner. “The beauty about CHIP is that it has its own thing going on,” said Sufer, CTO at WowWee. “It has its own life and own kind of intelligence. Even if you’re not around, it’s always doing something.” CHIP uses wheels to get around and is loaded with sensors(传感器) that give it a 360-degree view to find its ball. The pup is Bluetooth enabled, which connects to a wristband worn by its owner. The wristband, similar to a watch, displays icons(图标)for different commands such as a thumb-up, which allows you to give your pup a digital belly rub. With its owner wearing a smart wristband, it can even follow him around the room. “We worked on CHIP for about five to six months,” Davin Sufer, told dailymail.com, “We typically come up with a concept, model and product and get it on shelves within a year.” The company plans to start shipping units by next fall, which will allow them to load up the robotic dog with sensors and add many more animated responses per-owner interactivity. The high-tech toy company made its debut(处女作)in 2004 by releasing the 1.5 foot RoboSapien, which sold millions of units. MiP, which hit shelves last year, is a seven inch tall robot covered in white with black accents. Users can direct it, change its emotions and make it dance to any song on your iPad. It’s loud, fast and active. About 15 years ago, a company called ToyQuest developed the first ever electronic robotic dog---Tekno, the Robotic Puppy. The company sold over seven million units in the first season and 40 million more during its original four years of production. Tekno was built with over 160 emotions and instructions, but most importantly offered consumers a quick look into the future.

(1).According to Sufer, the amazing characteristic of CHIP is that _____.

A.it is loaded with special sensors

B.it can make all kinds of dog noises

C.it has quick response to the commands

D.it can do something without instructions

(2).CHIP can follow its owner with the help of _____.

A.a watch

B.a smart wristband

C.pointy ears

D.blue LED eyes

(3).From the passage, we can know_______.

A.CHIP can be bought in the store now

B.WowWee introduced its first product last year

C.Tekno provided the bright future of the robotic puppy

D.WowWee is the first company to develop the robotic puppy

36.A Deed a Day It was a busy day as usual. I was making sandwiches and balancing the phone between my shoulder and chin. The washing machine sounded as my husband walked in with our daughters. We had only about twenty minutes to eat before we had to take the girls to their next activity. My husband seemed a bit __##__ that dinner was not on the table. That night, I had a heavy heart, thinking we were becoming taskmasters on an assembly line (流水线). We had become too __##__ in our own tasks and not very considerate towards those around us. We needed to do something to bring back some meaning into our lives. It needed to be something that would __##__ our own agendas and energize us toward the common good. I bought a notebook, named it “Our Deed Diary” and held a family meeting. I told my family I wanted us all to think about doing a __##__ for others every day. It could be for each other or for people outside our__##__. And we all needed to write it down in the notebook. I thought one deed a day was too easy. However, it was actually __##__ than it seemed because it had to be something __##__ what we had already done. Sending birthday cards to people we already sent cards to every year would not count. We had a rough start. On some days, someone would forget to __##__ a good deed, while on other days, we would forget to write our good deeds in the diary. After a few weeks though, I found myself waking up in the morning trying to __##__ what good deed I could do for someone that day. My daughters began to rush to me after school to tell me the good deed they had done. Now, after a year, I am happy to say that it is making a(n) __##__ in our lives. Instead of always __##__ what the day will bring for us, we think about what we can do for someone else. Who would have thought that trying to do a simple kindness a day would be so rewarding? I feel my daughters have felt inner joy that you can only __##__ by giving to someone else from your heart. The best thing is that you feel so great about doing something for someone else; you don't even look for or expect anything in return. So, when someone does return the favor, it is an enormous and positive bonus.
