or what we did on every single day of our lives. however, there are some people who do have prodigious memories. these people have a rare condition known as savant syndrome (学者症候群). savants suffer from a developmental disorder, but they also exhibit great talents that contrast(显出差异) sharply with their physical and mental disabilities.kim peek (1951-2009) was a savant who lived in salt lake city, utah, in the united states. he was born with damage to parts of his brain, but it seemed that other parts of his brain, particularly those relating to memory, became over-developed.peeks unique abilities appeared at a very early age. when he was just 20 months old, he could already remember every book that was read to him. peek could read two pages of a book at the same time-one page with the right eye and one with the left-in less than 10 seconds and remember everything he read. by the time he died, peek had memorized more than 9,000 books. he could remember all the names and numbers in a variety of telephone books. he could remember thousands of facts about history, literature, geography and sports.dr. david treffert, an expert on savant syndrome, once described peek as “a living google” because of his astonishing ability to memorize and connect facts. however, at the same time, peek was unable to carry out simple tasks, such as brushing his hair or getting dressed, and he needed others to help him. in 1989, the movie rain man won the oscar for best picture. the main character in the movie, played by dustin hoffman, was based on kim peeks life. he started to appear on television, where he would amaze audiences by correctly answering difficult questions on different topics. peek became world famous, and he and his father began touring widely to talk about overcoming disabilities. he inspired a great many people with his words. “recognizing and respecting differences in others, and treating everyone in the way you want them to treat you, will make our world a better place for everyone. everyone is different.”24. the underlined word “prodigious” in paragraph 1 probably means _.a. happy b. vivid c. amazing d. short25. according to the text, peek _.a. could take care of himselfb. was born with a good memoryc. was the student of dr. david treffertd. became brain-damaged at 20 months old26. how is paragraph 3 mainly developed?a. by proving facts.b. by following time order.c. by analyzing causes.d. by making comparisons.27. peeks words suggest that we should _.a. respect different culturesb. listen to different opinionsc. treat different people differentlyd. be respectful of othersdifferencescwild weather, unexpected coral reefs and dangerous sea creatures these are the nightmares (噩梦) you can imagine a teenager on a solo voyage (独自旅行) around the world might suffer from. but for laura dekker, sailing around the globe seems less a price to be paid than a prize to be treasured. as the 19-year-old dutch sailor said in maidentrip, a documentary（纪录影片） released last year about her experience of becoming the youngest person to sail around the world alone in 2012, “i was born on a boat. i lived my first five years at sea. and ever since, all i have wanted is to return to that life.”with her yacht(游艇) guppy, dekker began her journey at 14 and sailed 50,004 kilometers in 519 days.the flying fish keeping her company, the dolphins following in her wake and the warm days spent on deck playing the flute (长笛) as she watched another unforgettable sunset were enough to make others jealous.but these didnt always go well. there were terrible moments in which dekker feared death. on one occasion, a whale almost turned guppy over. another time, she battled extreme winds and guppy surfed down 8-meter-high waves.out on the open sea alone, she also got used to living without a fridge, a flushing（用水冲洗） toilet, and a hot shower.“as a human being you dont need much,” she told stuff.co.nz. “ they might make life more comfortable, but you really dont need them to be happy.”in fact, her outlook on life was shaped by the trip. “i wanted the storms. i wanted the calms. i wanted to feel loneliness,” she told the new york times. “and now i know all these things. its the end of the dream i had as a child, and its the beginning of my life as a sailor.”28. according to the text, in which year did dekker begin her journey of 50,004 kilometers at sea?a. in 2012 b. in 2010 c. in 2009 d. in 201129. the method the author uses to develop paragraph 5 is _.a. offering analyses b. providing explanations c. giving examples d. making comparisons30. which of the following can best describe the girl laura dekker? _. a. modest and optimistic b. patient and hospitable c. brave and generous d. brave and determined31. how did laura dekker think of her life on the sea? a. it was so dangerous and almost ruined her. b. it brought her great happiness and much comfort. c. it is the sailing on the sea that made her well known. d. full of danger and challenge, it made her experience happiness and better understand life as well.dmodern smart phones are fast becoming the must-have item. but whats in store for the next generation of

positioning of your mouth and face. 38 listen to and try to imitate the pronunciation power instructor. in addition to listening for specific sounds, pay attention to pauses, the intonation（语调） of the instructors voice and patterns of emphasis. 39 the english language has many different dialects, and words can be pronounced differently. it is important, however, that you pronounce words clearly to ensure effective communication. finally, the pronunciation power program is a tool to help you. but you must practice what you are learning! remember that you are teaching your mouth a new way to
