His childhood was a brilliant success because of his intellectual strength. He was accepted into middle school at 10. At 16 he became the youngest student at Edinburgh University. “At that time, he was a lucky boy, good at almost everything,” said his old friend Murray Elder. However, setbacks (挫折) fell on the brilliant boy. After a rugby injury, he became blind in his left eye. Before long, similar symptoms (症状) developed in his right eye. “I lay in the hospital bed in total darkness, uncertain about my future,” said Brown. Looking back into the past, Brown didnt complain about his bad luck. He even said: “One door closes; you cant play rugby any more, so you focus on other things.” Brown was interested in student politics in university, which helped a lot in his political career later in life. In 1997, Brown was made Chancellor of the Exchequer (财政大臣). He has succeeded in giving the country a high rate of employment and the longest period of economic growth in its history. Compared with his successful career, Browns family life is full of downs. He lost his first daughter ten days after her birth. His 1-year-old youngest son has a deadly disease. “These accidents make me appreciate my life more,” he said.51. Gordon Brown was successful in his childhood because he _. A. played rugby very well B. went to middle school at 10 C. was very intelligent D. became the youngest student at Edinburgh University 52. When Gordon Brown looked back on the past, he _. A. wished that he had not played rugby B. still had hope for the future C. believed that his door was closed D. felt very sad about his misfortune53. Which of the following is TRUE about Gordon Brown? A. He didnt like politics in university. B. He became Chancellor of the Exchequer at 48. C. He didnt do well for the countrys employment. D. He did a good job to improve the national economy.54. From the last paragraph, we learn that Browns family life _. A. is full of accidents B. is as successful as his career C. makes him upset about his life D. is filled with good luckB Pushing open our gate, I am surprised to see a strange man, back toward me, entering our house. Only when he turns around do I realize that I am looking at my 12-year-old son, Marlon. It seemed only yesterday that I brought him, a newborn, home from the hospital. Carrying him into our house, I wondered at how tiny he was. A dozen years later Marlon is neither small nor thin. Nowadays he can lift me up easily. I am excitedly recording his progress on our growth chart. Handwritten lines and the dates they were marked in pencil appear along the charts length. Of course, my husband and I have only one line each to represent(代表) us. His height is over five feet eight inches, while mine is about five inches. The rest belong to Marlon and his younger brother, Mark Justin, put in at various times over the years, especially on their birthdays. My eldest son and I had a habit of guessing how long it would take before he became taller than me. We would be back-to-back, standing sideways before the mirror, and at times it looked like he had done it. But measured against the chartno, not just yet clearly. Then a few weeks after his twelfth birthday, it happened: Son finally grew taller than his mother. Marlon cheered as the chart showed he was now half an inch taller than me. I checked it again and the results were the same. While I was happy for him, I was a bit sad too. Staring at the freshly inked line, I realized what other parents had told me was true: Kids grow up so fast you never really know where the years have gone. But the chart only shows how tall theyve grown; it does not give the stories behind those growing years: the panic over childhood health emergencies, the mad looking for a child who got lost and, happily, was found, the peace-making during silly fights between best friends, the happy days of birthday parties and lazy nights of storytelling.55. From the text, we can conclude that the writer _. A. couldnt recognize her son because he had been away for 12 years B. thought her son was a newborn baby yesterday C. couldnt recognize her son because he had grown so fast D. was interested that her son was once so little56. Which of the following is correct according to the text? A. The growth chart contains only four lines in total. B. The growth chart shows the parents love for kids. C. Mark is expected to grow much taller than his elder brother. D. Before Marlon turned 12, he had grown taller than his mother.57. The last paragraph shows that the writer _. A. has experienced a lot while looking after the children B. is nervous because she doesnt know where the years have gone C. feels sad because the chart only shows how tall the kids have grown D. is angry because there are silly fights between best friends58. The best title for the text would be _. A. My son B. Flying timeC. Growth chart D. Marlons heightC TOURNAMENT OF ROSES -5 Days Los AngelesDay 1 Los Angeles. ( Sun. Dec. 30)Welcome to Los Angeles!

A. textbookB. travel guideC. news reportD. history magazine DIf you were allowed to bring a laptop to class, would you prefer to take notes by typing or with paper and a pen?Most people would probably prefer a laptop. And the reason is obvious: you can write much more quickly using a keyboard and therefore take down more information.But the truth is that faster isnt always better. A new study done by Pam Mueller of Princeton University and Daniel Oppenheimer at the University of California, Los Angeles found that students who took handwritten notes actually learned more than those who used laptops, reported The Atlantic.In the study, Mueller and Oppenheimer had 65 college students watch a video of a lecture and take notes either with pens or laptops. Students were then asked to complete different tests based on how well they remembered and understood the lecture.Results showed that pen users performed better than those who took notes with their laptops.Curious about the results, Mueller and Oppenheimer compared the notes of the two groups and immediately saw the difference pen users notes were shorter and taken mostly in their own words. Laptop users, however, usually type down word-by-word what the lecturer said in a “mindless” way.According to researchers, these two different kinds of taking notes show how students brains work while in class. Students with laptops always try to take more notes, so they usually write down information without processing (处理) its meaning. Pen users, however, know that they cannot possibly record every word in a lecture. Instead, they listen, think and focus on understanding the content of the lecture.Besides brain activities, there is another reason that laptops are not so useful in class. According to Scientific American, when college students use laptops in class, they spend on average 40 percent of class time doing things such as visiting social media sites or shopping, which obviously harms their school performance.Indeed, technology is making our lives easier and enabling us to do things in more efficient (高效的) ways. But learning may not be one of those things. As Scientific American said: “When students are taking notes, they need fewer gigs (电脑性能) and more brain power.”63. According to Pam and Daniels study, compared to the traditional way of taking notes, using laptops is likely to _. A. help students learn better. B. give students less information of what the teacher has said C. help students understand lessons better D. make students notes longer but less useful64. What can we conclude from the Eighth paragraph? A. College laptop users have poorer eyesight. B. College laptop users possibly pay less attention to lessons. C. College laptop users communicate less with each other. D. College laptop users have less time for social media and shopping.65. Whats Scientific Americans attitude toward the use of laptops to take notes? A. Worried. B. Curious. C. Supportive. D. Negative (反对的).第II卷 （非选择题 共60
