he knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”“he didnt have such a wish,” i insisted. “he won the race by perseverance, by pushing on steadily.”sonny thought a while. “thats a lie,” he said. “he won it because he was lucky. if the hare hadnt happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. he could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but hed never have won the race. thats for sure.”i gave up. todays children are not like what we used to be. theyre just hopeless.61. the writer argued with his son because _. a. he liked tortoises while his son liked hares b. they disagreed about whether the tortoise was foolish c. he tried to teach his son a moral lesson but the son had totally different opiniond. he liked the story of the hare and the tortoise while his son didnt.62. sonny believed that the tortoise _. a. won the race by his own hard working b. took a risk by agreeing to run a race c. was not given a fair chance in the race d. in fact did win the race luckily63. billy, tony and sandy must be_. a. boys who were unknown to sonnys father b. boys who sonny has run races with before c. boys who sonny has never raced with before d. boys who sonny did not expect to race with again64. the writer thinks that his generation_. a. are cleverer than sonnys generation b. have the same ideas about life as sonnys generation c. are more hopeful than sonnys generation d. have different ideas about life from sonnys generation65. according to the passage, who do you think learnt a lesson? _. a. the tortoise b. sonny c. the hare d. sonnys fatherbsocieties all over the world name places in similar ways. quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. frequently it happens that a place has two names: one is named by the people and the other by the government. as in many areas, old habits died hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.many roads and places in singapore are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. thus we have names such as stamford road and raffles place. this is in keeping with traditions in many countries - in both the west and the east.another way of naming places is naming them after other places. perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. the mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former british bases. if you step into selector airbase you will see piccadilly circus - obviously named by some homesick royal air force personnel.some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. bras basah road is an interesting example, “bras basah” means “wet rice” in malay(马来语). now why would anyone want to name a road “wet rice road”? the reason is simple. during the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road.a few roads in singapore are named by their shapes. there is “circular road” for one. other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes, like “paya lebar crescent”. this road is called a crescent (月牙) because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.66. we learn from paragraph 1 that _. a. the government is usually the first to name a place b. many places tend to have more than one name c. a ceremony will be held when a place is named d. people prefer the place names given by the government67. what does the underlined phrase “die hard” in paragraph 1 probably mean? _. a. change suddenly. b. change significantly. c. disappear mysteriously. d. disappear very slowly.68. which of the following places is named after a person? _. a. raffles place. b. selector airbase. c. piccadilly circus. d. paya lebar crescent.69. bras basah road is named _. a. after a person b. after a place c. after an activity d. by its shape70. what can be inferred from the passage? _. a. some place names in singapore are the same as in britain. b. some places in singapore are named for military purposes. c. the way singaporeans name their places is unique. d. young singaporeans have forgotten the pioneers.chow fit are your teeth? are you lazy about brushing them? never fear: an inventor is on the case. an electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush, and it lets you track your performance on your phone. the kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the international consumer electronics show in las vegas this week. it senses how it is moved and can send the information to an android phone or iphone via a bluetooth wireless connection. the toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right (dont forget the insides of the teeth!) and make sure youre brushing long enough. “its kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,” says thomas serval, the french inventor. the toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone, so developers could, for instance, create a game controlled by your toothbrush. you could score points for beating monsters among your teeth. “we try to make it smart but also fun,” several says. serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father. he would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth. they said “yes,” but serval would find their toothbrush heads dry. he decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed. the company says the kolibree will go on sale this summer, for $99 to $199, developing on features. the u.s. is the first target market. serval says that one day, itll be possible to replace the brush on the handle with a brushing unit that also has a camera. the camera can even examine holes in your teeth while you brush. 71. which is one of the features of the kolibree toothbrush? a. it can sense how users brush their teeth. b. it can track users school performance. c. it can detect users fear of seeing a dentist. d. it can help users find their phones. 72. what can we learn from servals words in paragraph 3? a. you will find it enjoyable to see a dentist. b. you should see your dentist on a day-to day basis. c. you can brush with the kolibree as if guided by a dentist. d. youd like a dentist to watch you brush your teeth every day. 73. which of the following might make the kolibree toothbrush fun? a. it can be used to update mobile phones. b. it can be used to play mobile phone games c. it can send messages to other users d. it can talk to its developers. 74. what is paragraph 5 mainly about? a. how serval found out his kids lied to him. b. why serval thought brushing teeth was necessary. c. how serval taught his kids to brush their teeth. d. what inspired serval to invent the toothbrush 75. what can we infer about servals children? a. they were unwilling to brush their teeth b. they often failed to clean their toothbrushes. c. they preferred to use a toothbrush with a dry head. d. they liked brushing their teeth after serval came home. 76. what can we learn about the future development of the kolibree?
