Here we look at a few British inventions of recent times.Adaptive glassesDo you wear glasses? If so, can you imagine life without them? In 1985, Joshua Silver, a professor at Oxford University, asked himself, “Can I invent a pair of glasses that could be changed by the wearer?” He designed two plastic lenses (透镜) that are filled with a special liquid. Using syringes (注射器) you change the liquid between the lenses until you can see clearly. The glasses are not beautiful but they are easy to use and cheap to make.The wind-up radioWhen you switch your TV on tonight, think about all those people without electricity. Thinking about this,Trevor Baylis came up with the idea of designing a radio that could be powered by hand. In mon with Joshua Silver he wanted his invention to be cheap and easy to use. He wanted even the poorest people in developing countries, who dont have electricity and cannot afford batteries, to use it. The radio has a generator(发电机)which is powered by turning a handle. In 1996 it won the BBC Design Award for Best Product and Best Design.The Dyson vacuum(真空) cleanerIn many homes around the world you can see a cleaner that looks like a spaceship. This is the Dyson vacuum cleaner which uses something called “cyclonic separation” to separate the dirt. You do not need a bag for your cleaner and it does not get blocked so it is very practical. The idea came to Sir James Dyson after he kept having problems with his vacuum cleaner. He decided he could design a better one and in 1993 he opened his own factory. The Dyson is now one of the best-selling cleaners in the UK and Dyson is believed to have earned over a billion pounds.The Zapata flyboardHave you ever dreamed of zooming through the water and leaping in the air like a dolphin? Now you can, thanks to a flyboard, built by water sports enthusiast Frank Zapata. With it you can dive back in the water and out again. Its possible to jump to incredible heights out of the water-over 30 feet. The basic flyboard model es in at4,200.21. What can we learn about adaptive glasses?A. They are very expensive.B. The inventor is a student.C. The glasses are fragile（易碎的）. D. They dont look very nice.22. Which invention won an award?A. Adaptive glasses. B. The wind-up radio.C. They Dyson vacuum cleaner. D. The Zapata flyboard.23. The Dyson vacuum cleaner was invented with the purpose of _.A. helping people use cleaners easily B. making Dyson a rich businessmanC. keeping the house cleaner than before D. taking the place of human cleanersBIf you want to get healthy or stay healthy, there is one easy activity to add to your daywalking. “Walking is the closest thing we have to a wonder drug.” Says Thomas Friedman. Friedman is the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States. And he is not alone in considering walking a great exercise. Walking may be as good for us as running.Walking requires no special skills or equipment. You can do it anywhere. It fits easily into your daily schedule. You can walk at work. You can park farther away from a store entrance, and then walk into the store. You can also take the stairs instead of the elevator.So, walking lowers your risk of high blood pressure and other diseases. But many other studies have found that walking benefits the body and mind in other ways. On one hand, regular fast walking not only helps you keep a healthily weight but also keeps your joints (关节) healthy. Most of the material that makes up our joints has no direct blood supply. Our joints get nutrition from joint fluid（液体）as we move. When you walk, your joints get this “life-giving fluid. “which means they stay stronger. On the other hand, walking sharpens your mind.Researchers studied 6,000 women aged 65 and older. They found that age-related memory loss was lower for those who walked more and even walking. Indoors or outdoors, improved the ability to think creatively and solve problems.Best of all, you can easily change where, when and how you walk. You can walk with your friends, co-workers, family or your dog or you can walk alone. The faster, farther and more often you walk, the greater the benefits24. What does the author want to tell us in Paragraph 2?A. Walking is good for people.B. Some special skills for walking.C. We can do walking anywhere.D. Modern people like walking anywhere.25. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refers to your .A. MemoriesB. joints C. body and mindD. blood pressure and other diseases26. Which of the following is the physical benefit of walking?A. Improving memory. B. Avoiding getting high blood pressure.C. Sharpening the mind D. Keeping a healthy weight.27. What is the purpose of the last paragraph of the text?A. To encourage people to walk.B. To introduce some walking places.C. To tell about the advantages and disadvantages of walking.D. To persuade people to change where, when and how they walk.CAs the world around them is changing, teenagers continue to need guidance and support from both parents. Studies show that teens who have an active relationship with their fathers are less likely(可能的)to involve themselves in dangerous behaviors and more likely to succeed in school and develop higher self-worth, because their fathers go beyond social expectations to devote attention to them.Peer(同龄人)pressure has always been a big part of the teens experience. Even the best father cant pletely protect their kids from the growing influence of their peer group. However, studies show that teenagers whose fathers focus on their lives are more likely to resist (抵抗)the more bad effects of peer pressure, taking drugs, for example.Teens may not like to admit it, but they are watching their parents closely and often follow their example. An interesting finding explains just how important parents are, especially Dad. Swiss researchers discovered that if Dad attends church, even though Mom doesnt, 44 percent of the kids are still more likely to keep going to church as adults. But if Mom goes regularly and Dad never shows up, only 2 percent of the kids continue to attend.Teenagers face a lot of difficult choices, especially in their later teens. Fathers dont get to make those choices for them, but they can be influenced. For example, teenagers can learn a lot from their parents concern on what to do when they finish high school. Should they go directly to college and, if so, where? Should they consider going to trade schools, joining the army or looking for a job? A fathers guidance brings a long-term perspective that teens often lack to these important decisions.28. Teenagers without fathers focus are more likely to _.A. have higher self-worthB. experience some dangerous thingsC. bee the best students in schoolD. resist all bad effects of peer pressure29. What does the third paragraph tell us?A. More teenagers pay no attention to their parentsB. Teenagers often treat their fathers as role modelsC. Teenagers never attend church with their mothersD. Fewer teenagers like to attend church with their fathers30. Which can replace the underlined word perspective in the last paragraph?A. point of viewB. jobC. schoolD. lots of concern31. What can we learn from the text?A. Fathers should make choices for teenagers directlyB. Teenagers care less about what their parents doC. Mothers have no effect on their childrens lifeD. Teenagers are greatly influenced by their fathersDWhen Ronald Reagan, who was President of the USA from 1982 to 1989, died in xx, many people remembered his good sense of humor. Reagan enjoyed a good joke and often made fun of himself. He was very old, almost 70 years of age, when he became President of the USA. Because of this, people often joked about his age. Once, during a meeting, President Reagan was plaining about some reporters who said that he could not hear very well. He wanted to prove that he was healthy and could hear well, so he took out his hearing aid, and said to the people at the meeting, “Say something.” One man pretended to speak. He moved his mouth and made movements with his hands. Everyone thought Reagan would be angry, but he laughed and listened for a very long time.President Reagan not only enjoyed a good joke when he was relaxing, but he also liked to joke during serious situations. In 1981, he had a shot accident. At the hospital, he joked to the doctors that he hoped they supported him in the government and would let him alive. He was able to keep his sense of humor even when he was hurt.32. Ronald Reagan was _in the year 1985.A. a reporterB. an actorC. a doctorD. a president33.

Well, I can tell you for sure that those people who are really happy, FEAR less and LOVE a lot more. They see each moment, each challenge, each person as an opportunity to discover more about themselves and the world around them. 37 Happy people understand that you cant really change a situation by resisting（反抗）it. But they can feel better by understanding that there might be a reason for its existence（存在）. 38 But rather, they ask themselves questions like: What can I learn from this? How can I make this better? They always seem to be pleasant and hopeful no matter what happens to them. They do the things they do because of the meaning it brings into their lives and because they get a sense of purpose by doing so. 39 They care more about living a life full of meaning rather than, what in our modern society we would call, living a successful life. The fact here is that most of the time they get both, success and meaning, just because they choose to focus on doing the things they love the most. 40 They make sure that their actions bring meaning and happiness in the lives of many. They look for ways to give and to share the best of themselves with the world and to make other people happy.A. They have an ideal living and a balanced life.B. What are the things that these people do differently?C. They are kind to themselves and others and they understand the power of love. D. The things happy people do are not for themselves, but for the good of others.E. They are ready to accept whatever lies in front of them.F. They understand that Doing what you love is the most important for living a full life.G. When something unpleasant happens to them, they dont try to fight it, knowing that this will make the situation even worse.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空 （共20小题：每题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空爆出的最佳选选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。A poor and old farmer lived in a village, who had a beautiful and young wife.
