She 38 face first into the mud. David 39 to his mothers side. “Are you all right, Mom?”40, Mary put herself up. “Im okay, honey,” she said.It had been nearly two years since Mary had trouble walking. She was falling more 41 now. Every inch of ice was a 42 danger for her. “I wish I could do 43,” the boy thought.David, too, was having 44 of his own. The boy had a speech defect(欠缺). At school he 45 asked questions or read aloud.One day Davids teacher announced a 46 assignment.“Each of you is going to come up with an invention.” He said. This was for “INVENT AMERICA!”, and national competition to encourage the creativity in 47. An idea hit David one evening. 48 only his mothers cane didnt slip on the ice, he thought. “Thats it!” David realized.“49 I fixed your cane so a nail stretched out of the bottom?” he asked his mother.“Would it scratch floors?”“No, Mom, I could make.”But the sharp end.” Mary said.“Its like a ball-point pen. You take your hand 50 the button and the nail returns back up.” Hours later the cane was finished. David and his father, Jeff, 51 as Mary used it to walk 50 feet across the 52.“It works!” she said. In July 1991, David was declared national winner at the annual “INVENT AMERICA!” ceremony in Washington D.C.As David began to make afraid appearances, he was forced to communicate 53 clearly. Today, David is nearly 54 of his speech defect, and his cane is waiting to be widely used.55 the boy who once had trouble talking now hopes to start making canes for people who have trouble in walking.36.

But there is no way to build towers on water, and a signal sent across the sea could not follow the curve of the earth. Its straight-line beam would soar off into space.Scientists have solved this problem by designing a new kind of tower, a tower in the skya satellite. An active satellite contains amplifiers much like those in the overland microwave towers. When a microwave is beamed to it from a ground transmitter, the satellite increases the strength of the signal and reflects it to a ground receiving station beyond the curve of the earth.Technologists know enough today to place a satellite system in medium-range altitudes(高度), from about 5,000 to 8,000 miles in space. A system of about fifty satellites would provide many circuits(线路), which would cover the present communication needs of the world. Telephone and telegraph messages would be carried at high speed. TV broadcasts would be shared internationally.Plans have also been studied for high-altitude satellites as much as 22,000 miles off in space, but there are still problems with these. Some way must be found to fix such satellites in a firm position so that they will always be “on station”.56. One advance possible by this system is given as _.A. internationally shared television broadcastsB. internationally shared weather forecastsC. high-speed interchange on market affairsD. rapid transmission of military(军事的) information57. According to the passage, a problem facing the planners of a high-altitude system is _.A. way of keeeping its units in placeB. doubt about the size of units neededC. lack of information about microwave transmissionD. shortage of properly trained technicians58. All of the following statements are true according to the passage EXCEPT _.A. overland television is carried by relay towersB. overseas television is now carried by space stationC. whether overland or overseas, television signals need to be amplifiedD. The overseas system possible today would be placed from about 5,000 to 8,000 miles in space.59. It is implied in the passage that _.A. a system of about fifty satellites would not cover mans present needs.B. microwaves travel in a straight line.C. travelling a great distance weakens a microwave.D. the problem of high-altitude satellites can be solved in the near future.BLondoners are great readers. They buy large numbers of newspapers and magazines and of books - specially paperbacks, which are still comparatively cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy “proper” books, too, printed on good paper and bound(装订) between hard covers.There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charring Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one which boasts(自夸) of being “the biggest bookshop in the world” to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens time. Some of these shops stock, or will obtain, any kind of book, but many of them specialize in second-hand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books on philosophy, politics or any other of the myriad subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes solely in books about ballet!Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charring Cross Road is not the cheapest. For the really cheap second-hand volumes, the collector must venture off the beaten track, to Farringdon Road, for example, in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing so grandiose(壮观的) as bookshops. Instead, the booksellers come along each morning and tip out their sacks of books onto small barrows（流动集售货车） which line the gutters(贫民区). And the collectors, some professional and some amateurs, who have been waiting for them, pounce（一把抓住） upon the dusty cascaded（像瀑布一样落下）. In places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old volume that may be worth many pounds.60. “Londoners are great readers” means that _.A. Londoners are great because they read a lot.B. there are a great number of readers in LondonC. Londoners are readers who read only great booksD. Londoners read a lot61. Charring Cross Road _.A. is in the suburbs of LondonB. is famous for its bookshopsC. contains various kinds of shopsD. is the busiest street in London62. If you want to buy really cheap second-hand books, you must _.A. venture in a most busy streetB. venture away from a busy streetC. take the risk of being beaten off the streetD. take the risk of wasting time to hunt them in less noticeable streets63. The booksellers on Farringdon Road _.A. keep fine bookshopsB. keep only small bookshopsC. sell books on hand-cartsD. sell the same books as the bookshops on Charring Cross Road64. The best topic for this passage is _.A. bookshops in LondonB. the biggest bookshop in the worldC. Charring Cross RoadD. buying books in LondonCAfter giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me, and it would mean a great deal to him. I agreed.During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy(肌肉萎缩症). When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to see five, then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming difficulties and going for my dreams.I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask,”Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about. He didnt mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weight with me.When we finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming difficulties than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”Last summer I received a letter from Matthews parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:Dear Rick,My mom said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I dont have long to live any more. But I still smile as much as I can.I told you someday I was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal. But I know now I will never get to do that. But I know Im a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you. Thank you for loving me. Your friend, Matthew65. The boy wanted to meet the author because_. A. he was interested in weight lifting B. he wanted to get a gold medal C. he admired the author very much D. he wanted the author to know him66.The underlined part in the third paragraph probably means “_”.A. Why do you come to see me?B. Why do I have to stay at home?C. Why does the disease fall on me?D. Why not give a gold medal to me?67. We can infer from the passage that _.A. Matthew is a determined boy.B. Rick used to have the same diseaseC. Matthew became a champion finallyD. Rick regarded Matthew as normal68. The boy refused the authors medal because _.A. he wanted the picture instead. B. He would not be pitied by othersC. He did not know he would die soon D. He himself could earn one in the future.DActing is such an over-crowded profession(职业) that the only advice that should be given to a young person thinking of going on the stage is “Dont!” But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act, although the chances of his becoming famous are small. The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school. Usually only students who show promise and talent(才智) are accepted, and the course lasts two years. Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a repertory company(演出公司), usually as an assistant stage (戏剧) manager. This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre: painting scenery, looking after the furniture, publicity (宣传), taking care of the costumes(戏装), and even acting in very small parts. It is very hard work indeed, the hours are long and the salary is tiny. But young actors with the stage in their blood are happy, waiting for the chance of work with a better company, or perhaps in films or television.Of course, some people have remarkable chances which lead to fame and success without this long and tiring training. Connie Parrat, for example, was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory. A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop, as he drove past in his big car. He told the driver to stop, and he got out to speak to the girl. He asked her if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test, and at first she thought he was joking. Then she got angry and said she would call the police. It t
