described conditions among the poor, racial inequality and drug use in the black community. she also wrote poems about the struggles of black women.but her skill was more than her ability to write about struggling black people. she was an expert at the language of poetry. she combined traditional european poetry styles with the african american experience. in her early poetry, gwendolyn brooks wrote about the south side of chicago. the south side of chicago is where many black people live. in her poems, the south side is called bronzeville. it was a street in bronzeville that gained the attention of literary experts in 1945. critics praised her poetic skill and her powerful descriptions about the black experience during the time. the bronzeville poems were her first published collection.in 1950, gwendolyn brooks became the first african american to win the pulitzer prize for literature. she won the prize for her second book of poems called annie allen. annie allen is a collection of poetry about the life of a bronzeville girl as a daughter, a wife and mother. she experiences loneliness, loss, death and being poor. ms. brooks said that winning the prize changed her life.her next work was a novel written in 1953 called maud martha. maud martha received little notice when it first published. but now it is considered an important work by some critics. its main ideas about the difficult life of many women are popular among female writers today.in some of her poems, gwendolyn brooks described how what people see in life is affected by who they are. one example is this poem, corners on the curving skyby the end of the 1960s, gwendolyn brookss poetry expanded from the everyday experiences of people in bronzeville. she wrote about a wider world and

the award gwendolyn brookss gainedd. the racial inequality the black had to facecrecently i and other red cross volunteers met a group of victims from hurricane katrina. we were there, as mental health professionals, to offer “psychological first aid” and i was struck by the simple healing power of presence. as we walked in the gate to the shelter, we were greeted with a burst of gratitude from the first person we met. i felt appreciated, but also guilty, because i hadnt really done anything yet. i first realized the power of presence many years ago when a friends mother passed away unexpectedly. i had received a call saying she had just passed away. i wanted to rush down there immediately, but didnt want to intrude（打扰）on this very personal period of sadness. i was torn about what to do. another friend with me then said, “just go. just be there.”i did, and i will never regret it.since then, i have not hesitated to be in the presence of others. once i sat at the bedside of a young man suffering from the pain of his aids-related dying. he was not awake, and obviously unaware of others presence. however, the atmosphere was by no means solemn. his family, playing guitars and singing, allowed him to be present with them as though he were still fully alive.in my life, i am repeatedly struck by the healing power of presence. in it, none of us are truly alone. it is not only something we give to others but also changes me for the better.28. why were the hurricane victims grateful to the author?a. he built shelters for them. b. he gave immediate first aid to them.c. he came to stay with them. d. he brought mental health professionals.29. what did the author do when his friends mother passed away?a. he hesitated over whether to go. b. he went to his friends at once.c. he knew what to do instantly. d. he decided not to disturb.30. what does the underlined word “solemn” in paragraph 3 probably mean?a. heavy but warm. b. a little sad but cosy.c. relaxing and delightful. d. very serious and unhappy.31. what has the author learned from his experience?a.a friend in need is a friend indeed.b. being present can make a big difference.c. the family harmony is the happiest thing in life.d. being a volunteer can make ones life more significant.dimagine youre at a party full of strangers. youre nervous. who are these people? how do you start a conversation? fortunately, youve got a thing that sends out energy at tiny chips in everyones name tag(胸牌). the chips send back name, job, hobbies, and the time available for meeting-whatever. making new friends becomes simple.this hasnt quite happened in real life. but the world is already experiencing a revolution using rfid technology.an rfid tag with a tiny chip can be fixed in a product, under your pets skin, even under your own skin. passive rfid tags have no energy source-batteries because they do not need it. the energy comes from the reader, a scanning device（装置）, that sends out energy (for example, radio waves) that starts up the tag immediately.such a tag carries information specific to that object, and the data can be updated. already, rfid technology is used for recognizing each car or truck on the road and it might appear in your passport. doctors can put a tiny chip under the skin that will help locate and obtain a patients medical records. at a nightclub in paris or in new york the same chip gets you into the vip section and pays for the bill with the wave of an arm.take a step back: 10 or 12 years ago, you would have heard about the coming age of computing. one example always seemed to surface: your refrigerator would know when you needed to buy more milk. the concept was that computer chips could be put everywhere and send information in a smart network that would make ordinary life simpler.rfid tags are a small part of this phenomenon. “the world is going to be a loosely coupled set of individual small devices, connected wirelessly,” predicts dr. j. reich. human right supporters are nervous about the possibilities of such technology. it goes too far tracking school kids through rfid tags, they say. we imagine a world in which a beer company could find out not only when you bought a beer but also when you drank it. and how many beers. accompanied by how many biscuits.when marconi invented radio, he thought it would be used for ship-to-shore communication. not for pop music. who knows how rfid and related technologies will be used in the future. heres a wild guess: not for buying milk.32. the article is intended to . a. warn people of the possible risks in adopting rfid technology b. explain the benefits brought about by rfid technology c. convince people of the uses of rfid technology d. predict the applications of rfid technology33. we know from the passage that with the help of rfid tags, people . a. will have no trouble getting data about others b. will have more energy for conversation c. will have more time to make friends d. wont feel shy at parties any longer34. why are some people worried about rfid technology? a. because children will be tracked by strangers. b. because market competition will become more fierce. c. because their private lives will be greatly affected. d. because customers will be forced to buy more products.35. the last paragraph implies that rfid technology . a. will not be used for such matters as buying milk b. will be widely used, including for buying milk c. will only be used for buying milk d. will probably not be widely used第二节
