In high school, I had a teacher who made me 21 of these concepts, although it took many years before I 22 them fully. One day, Mrs. Lambert, my advanced placement English teacher, brought in several 23 filled with all kinds of things. Each of us 24 took something and wrote a(n) 25 about it for homework. The next day, the baskets 26 again, and we were instructed to select the 27 object. This time we had to write a composition about the object without 28 anything from the first one. Over the next few days the same thing 29 , with each day bringing an increasing 30 of frustration as we tried to see something 31 in an otherwise uninteresting object. I will never forget the last 32 I wrote about my blue and white Delft fisher boy. After 33 to find something original to say, I 34 got inspired to write a poem. It 35 me to see beyond the porcelain figurine（瓷器人）and into the 36 of the character. Mrs. Lambert had shown me how to use my own 37 and creativity to see what I otherwise would have looked at and disappeared immediately. Fifty years 38 , as I remember Mrs. Lambert, I wonder, are schools today showing kids how to use their own eyes and ears to see into and 39 the surface? This, I believe, is the most important 40 a child can take into adulthood. 21. A. fond22. A. realized23. A. bags24. A. creatively25. A. composition26. A. picked up27. A. same28. A. accepting29.

She let her eyes lazily scan the landscape for wildlife. Then a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them. Dad, theres a deer there! Alexis said. It was a male deer with sharp antlers (角) on each side of its head. As the car moved closer, Alexis saw that the deers head was bent toward the ground. Then she heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deers head. Alexis realized the deer was attacking a woman. Sue, a 44-year-old mother, had been out for her morning run. The deer followed her and edged closer. I knew I was in trouble, Sue says. She went to pick up a stick for self-defense, and the deer charged. It lifted her with its antlers and threw her into the air. Sue could feel blood flew down her leg. Within seconds, the deer had pushed her off the road. When Alexis and her father pulled up, the deer was throwing Sue like a doll. Alexis looked into the womans terrified eyes, and before her father had even stopped the car, the teenager jumped quickly out of the car and ran toward the deer. I was kicking it to get its attention, she says. Then her father, who had followed his daughter, pushed the deer away from the women. Alexis helped Sue into the car, and then applied a piece of cloth to Sues injured leg. Were going to get you to a hospital, Alexis said. Then she heard her father shout loudly. He had been knocked to the ground. Alexis took hold of a hammer from the car and ran to where her father lay on his back. She beat the deers head and neck, but the blows didnt scare it away. I was losing faith, she says. A couple more strikes, Alexis, said her father. You can do it. Turning the hammer around, Alexis closed her eyes and beat the deers neck with all her strength. When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away. Alexis got in the drivers seat and sped toward the nearest hospital. After Sue was treated, she tearfully thanked her rescuers. You expect a teenage girl to get on the phone and call for help, she says, not to beat up a deer. 41. What was Sue doing when she was attacked by the deer? A. She was driving home. B. She was resting on the road. C. She was taking exercise. D. She was feeding wild animals. 42. What does the word in the second paragraph “charged” mean? A. asked in payment B. rushed in an attack C. accused sb D. stored electricity 43. What did Alexis do to save Sue at first? A. She pushed the deer away. B. She hit the deer with her feet C. She drove the car to hit the deer. D. She beat the deer with a hammer. 44. Which of the following words can best describe Alexis? A. Strong. B. Cruel. C. Energetic. D. Brave. 45. What is the best title for the passage? A. A Woman Was Seriously Injured B. A Dangerous Deer Attacked a Woman C. A Girl Rescued Her Father Successfully D. A Teenager Saved Others from a Deer Attack BBelow is a selection of 8 unusual scientists who did research. 1. Wan tried to ride a rocket chair. You have to hand it to Wan Hu. Legend has it that when the Chinese official, Wan Hu, decided to visit the moon, he didnt ask one of his servants to sit in the hot seat. He settled himself into a wood chair fixed with 47 rockets. When 47 torch-bearing assistants lit the rockets, there was a loud sound and lots of smoke-but no more Wan Hu. There is, however, a crater named for Wan Hu on the far side of the moon. 2. Isaac Newton stuck a needle in his eye. Though best known for discovering the laws of gravitation, Newton also did pioneering research in optics. He experimented with prisms（棱镜）, but that didnt reveal much about the eyes structure or how it senses color. To learn more, the unusual physicist took a type of needle known with a sharp tip and, he wrote, “put it between my eye and the bone as near to the backside of my eye as I could.” 3. Nicolae Minovici hanged himself. Nicolae Minovici performed a series of experiments in which he allowed himself to be choked by ropes. Though his feet reportedly never left the ground, he experienced a burning pain in his neck and signaled to be lowered. He had trouble swallowing for an entire month. 4. Franz Reichelt tested his parachute by jumping from the Eiffel Tower. On Feb 4, 1912, an Austrian-born tailor named Franz Reichelt tested his “parachute（降落伞）suit” - an airmans suit designed to function as a parachute in the event of an emergency. Alas, the chute failed to open up, which contributed to his death. The event was recorded in still photos as well as in the grainy video below. 5. Evan ONeill Kane took out his own appendix（阑尾）. Dr. Kane, a surgeon working in Pennsylvania in the early 20th Century, wanted to find out about appendix. On Feb. 15, 1921, he chose to perform the surgery himself and take out his appendix. But he calmly pushed them back in and kept working. 6. Werner Forssmann stuck a plastic tube in his own heart. In the early part of the last century, it was believed that inserting something into a beating heart would be deadly. Werner Forssmann thought otherwise. So one day in 1929, he put a tube into his heart. Fortunately he survived the daring experiment but lost his job. But his fearlessness was rewarded when he won a Nobel Prize in 1956. 7. Frederick Hoelzel ate glass. And not just glass. During the 1920s and 1930s, University of Chicago researcher Frederick Hoelzel reportedly swallowed grain, glass, ball bearings, thread, wire, and other non-food items in order to show how long it would take the items to pass through his guts（肠子）. Despite his risky research, Hoelzel lived into old age. 8. Barry Marshall drank bacteria-loaded soup. For many years doctors had only an unclear idea about the cause of stomach illness. So he decided to be his own pig, taking germs from an infected patient, mixing them in a solution, and drinking it. A few days later, after experiencing a period of throwing up and tiredness, he examined his own gut-and proved the link between the germs and illness. For his daring experiment he won a Nobel Prize in 2005. 46. Which of the following scientists research certainly was recorded by video? A. Newton. B. Minovici. C. Hoelzel. D. Reichelt. 47. Why did Werner Forssmann and Barry Marshall win the Nobel Prize? A. The two scientists were expert in surgery operations. B. Both discovered the links between germs and disease. C. They made significant breakthroughs in medical research through their brave experiments. D. Each of them conducted the same experiment separately. 48. In which experiment did a scientist lose his life? A. Riding a rocket chair. B. Eating glass. C. Sticking a needle in his eye. D. taking out his own appendix. 49. The greatest difference of the 8 scientists from the majority of other scientists is that_. A. they devoted their time to scientific research B. they would risk their lives for experiments C. they were greatly enthusiastic about science D. they made their great contributions to science CComputer power is moving into the “cloud”networks of data centres that use the Internet to supply all kinds of services, from e-mail and social networks to data storage and analysis. The rise of cloud computing is rapid and causing huge changes in the tech industry. The old guard is suffering: this weeks $67 billion merger (合并) between Dell and EMC, makers of computers and storage devices respectively (分别), was a marriage forced by the rise of the cloud. The gains for customers have been equally dramatic. Compared with older IT systems, cloud computing is often much cheaper. It adds tremendous flexibility: firms that need more computing capacity no longer have to spend weeks adding new servers and installing software. In the cloud they can get hold of it in minutes. Their applications can be updated continually, rather than just every few months. Individual users can reach their e-mails, files and photos from any device. And cloud services also tend to be more secure, since providers know better than their customers how to protect their computing systems against hackers. But cloud computing makes one problem worse. In the old IT world, once a firm or a consumer had decided on an operating system or database, it was difficult and costly to switch to another. In the cloud this “lock-in” (锁定)is even worse. Cloud providers try their best to make it easy to upload data. They accumulate huge amounts of complex information, which cannot easily be moved to an alternative provider. Cloud firms also create a world of interconnected services, software and devices, which is convenient but only for as long as you dont venture outside their universe. Being locked in to a provider is risky. Firms can start to tighten the screws by increasing prices. If a cloud provider goes bust (崩溃), its customers may have trouble getting back their data. These risks have already caused a debate about whether the cloud needs stricter regulation. Some European politicians want to force cloud providers to ensure that data can be moved between them. That is too heavy-handed, because strict rules will prevent innovation in what is still a young industry. The history of computing suggests that common standards may well appear naturally in response to customers demandsjust as in personal computers, where it is now much easier to use the same files on different systems. In the meantime, a few commonsense measures can reduce the risk of lock-in. Firms that use more than one cloud provider to host their data are less affected. So are those that keep their most important information in their own data centres. Consumers can take precautions, too. Some services are better than others at enabling users to move data between providers (Google does well on this score). Cloud computing promises its users many benefits, but dont mistake it for some sort of digital heaven. 50. The author takes “the merger between Dell and EMC” for example to show _. A. the influence of cloud computing on computer and storage device makers B. the miserable sufferings of old computer companies C. the rapid development of new computer companies D. the interaction between old companies and newcomers 51. With wide applications of cloud computing customers can _. A. pay less for the older IT systems B. gain more computing capacity quickly C. know better about defeating the hackers D. install software within weeks 52. The problem of “lock-in” can be dangerous because _. A. it should ensure data can easily be moved to another provider B. it can create a network of services connected with devices C. it may make it difficult for customers to recover their data D. it will discourage an argument about stricter rules 53. It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that _. A. the Europ
