hole for a pencil. im looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book i am recommending to my mother. over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did. surely it cant be the same pencil? the pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one. “im just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these years.” i say to her, walking back into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. “you still use a pencil. cant you afford a pen?” my mother replies a little sharply. “it works perfectly well. ive always kept the stand in the kitchen. i never knew when i might want to note down an idea, and i was always in the kitchen in these days.” immediately i can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. my mother smiles and says, “one day i was cooking and watching baby pauline, and i had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty. one of the children must have taken the paper. so i just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back. it turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem i was working on.” this storywhich happened before i was bornreminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is, as a gifted mathematician. i feel embarrassed that i complain about not having enough child-free time to work. later, when my mother is in the bathroom, i go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards. sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks i recognize as mathematics. those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible（看不到的）exhibits at every meal.26. why has the authors mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen?a. to leave messages. b. to list her everyday tasks.c. to note down maths problems. d. to write down a flash of inspiration. 27. what is the authors original opinion about the wooden stand? a. it has great value for the family. b. it needs to be replaced by a better one. c. it brings her back to her lonely childhood. d .it should be passed on to the next generation. 28. the author feels embarrassed for _ a. blaming her mother wrongly. b. giving her mother a lot of trouble. c. not making good use of time as her mother did. d. not making any breakthrough in her field.29. what can be inferred from the last paragraph?a .the mother is successful in her career. b. the family members like traveling. c. the author had little time to play when young. d. the marks on the breadboard have disappeared. 30. in the authors mind ,her mother is_a. strange in behavior. b. keen on her research. c. fond of collecting old things. d. careless about her appearance.b its momentary carelessness that can cost hundreds. but the broken screens that result from dropped iphones could become a thing of the past thanks to an unlikely invention-an airbag for smartphones. the pioneering technology makes use of the motion sensors that are now built into most smartphones to detect when it has entered an airborne state , so that a mini-airbag can be set off to cushion its fall. the idea comes from the rapid developing technology department at amazon, which won a patent for the protective system this week. apart from mobile phones, the technology could be used on electronic readers, including the online sellers own kindle, as well as computer tablets and cameras. amazons founder, jeff bezos, applied for a patent himself. it reads: “ previous to collision between a surface and a device, a determination of a risk of damage to the device is made. if the risk of damage to the device goes beyond a threshold(临界值), a protection system is made active to reduce or remove damage to the device.”the airbag would use the data from a mobile phones built in gyroscope, camera, accelerometers and other such sensors, according to the patent.then , if it is determined that the device has been dopped , the technology will set off the release of airbags and could even include air jets to change its course in mid-air. while there is no indication of when the protective system will be available, it is clear that there is a large market for it. in the uk alone, tens of millions of pounds are spent on iphone repairs each year. victor seidel, a lecturer in science entrepreneurship at oxford university, said, “jeff bezos is a man known for going his own way and being successful, but i think the real question is :has he come up with idea because he keeps dropping his own phone?mr. seidel said that the technology could put an end to “annoying cases”, but expressed concerns about the practicality of its production adding:” i am not sure whether the next phone i buy will be fitted with an airbag but we are often surprised by what ideas become successful.”31. from the first paragraph we can infer that _ . a. the invention is unlikely to come true. b. smartphones are far from being perfect nowc. it may cost a lot to repair your broken iphonesd. hundreds of phones are broken because of carelessness 32. what does the underlined word mean in paragraph 2?a. stopb. soften c. accelerated. monitor33. what is the correct order of how the airbag works?a. the phone hits the ground safelyb. motion-sensors begin to work c. it is determined that the phone has been droppedd. the phone falls out of control.e. the airbag is released a. cbdaeb. dbceac. cbaedd. bdeca34. which of the following is wrong?a. if the damage to the phone is below the threshold, the protection system will not be activated.b. the invention will probably be a success. c. the protective system will be on market next year. d. the invention can be used more than on phones. 35. from what victor seidel said we can see that _.a. he didnt believe the invention would succeed. b. he thought the technology was not effectivec. he thought it a bit difficult to put the invention into practice. d. he doubted whether the idea was jeff bezoscdiana jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart. “i have two kids in college, and i want to say come home, but at the same time i want to provide them with a good education,” says jacobs.the jacobs family did work out a solution: they asked and received more aid form the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program. they will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school. with unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the jacobs. more students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. college administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around. at the same time, tuition（学费）continues to rise. a report from the national center for public policy and higher education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade, “if we go on this way for another 25years, we wont have an affordable system of higher education,” says patrick m. callan, president of the center. “the middle class families have been financing it through debt. they will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.” financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. the good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.36. according to paragraph 1, why did the plan of jacobs family fail?a. the twins wasted too much money. b. the father was out of work.c. their saving ran out. d. the family fell apart.37. how did the jacobs manage to solve their problem?a. they asked their kids to come home. b. they borrowed $20,000 from the school.c. they encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs.d. they got help from the school and the federal government.38. financial aid administrators believe that _.a. more families will face the same problem as the jacobsesb. the government will receive more letters of complaintc. college tuition fees will double soond. americas unemployment will fall39.what can we learn about the middle class families from the text?a. they blamed the government for the tuition increase.b. their income remained steady in the last decade.c. they will try their best to send kids to college.d. their debts will be paid off within 25 years.40.according to the last paragraph, the government will .a. provide most students will scholarships b. dismiss some financial aid administratorsc. stop the companies from making student loansd. go on providing financial support for college studentsdottawa-after half a century at the bottom of a belgian swamp, canadian halifax bomber lw 682 will shine again, but this time on top of the bomber command memorial in london. metal from the warplane will be formed into sheets and used to make the memorials roof, a uniquely canadian contribution to the grand new memorial -the largest built in london in 200 years, whose roof special meaning for karl kjarsgaard. director of the bomber command museum of canada, kjarsgaard has made it his personal duty to recover and

, most of the plane was beyond repair. so what remained was melted, totalling some 680 kilograms, and then shipped home to the bomber command museum, for use in statues and monuments. about five years ago, some britons who were raising money to build the new bomber command memorial turned to kjarsgaard , asking him to help raise money in canada. he finally decided to ive them half of the precious metal .kjarsgaard said most canadians dont understand the symbolic value of the halifax , a four-engine heavy bomber widely flown by canadians in the second world war. “weve forgotten that it represents the great4est sacrifice weve ever made,” he said. douglas radcliffe of the u.k.s bomber command association said, “the very fact that we have a piece of a bomber, out of the thousands that were blown out of the sky. .what a credit to canada.”41. the underlined word “perished”can be replaced by _.a. were missingb. were rescuedc. diedd. survived42. what does the passage mainly talk

the swamp. kjarsgaard and his group found the plane in belgiuma. b. c. d.第二节 信息匹配 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。首先,请阅读
