any other children.all，however，had a serious _37_.three were in wheelchairs.one was nearly blind and two walked with difficulty，and another two _38_ a lot from cerebral palsy (脑瘫)matthew was among them.his hands，arms，legs，and even his voice were all distorted (扭曲) from the disease.to speak，matthew had the help of a _39_.slowly，and with determination，he would _40_ with distorted hands，letter by letter，what he wanted to say.yet he was always bright and cheerful and loved to _41_ everything his classmates were doing，both in the boat and in the classroom.they learnt fast and enjoyed every minute of the _42_.but i think that i was the one who learned the greatest lesson.one day the sailing centre was _43_ by a storm.rather than _44_ the session we decided to work in a classroom.all the children _45_.just like other children they all wanted to answer the questions i asked.often they would loudly _46_ each other，trying to get an answer in before one of the others.but when matthew wanted to answer a question it was _47_.all of a sudden they all _48_.matthew whispered and gestured at his letter board.they _49_ with great patience.matthew _50_ with dogged persistence (坚持) until the answer was _51_.when matthew had answered his question the children were，almost magically，transformed back into a group of _52_ and enthusiastic children.all of these children were heroes in their own way.but the _53_ they afforded to matthew with his most severe disabilities was _54_.if only the rest of the world were able to learn to afford care，respect and help to someone less _55_ than themselves，violence and intolerance would possibly be gone.36a.enjoy bstartcexperience dlead37a.shortcoming bdisabilitycinjury dhabit38a.learned bchangedcsuffered dspent39a.letter board btape

taxi，can pick up passengers at their doors or at a nearby bus stop shortly after they have telephoned for service.the computer will know the location of its vehicles(车辆)，how many passengers are on them，and where they are heading.it will choose the right vehicle and send it to the caller according to the programming of the system.the cost of taxi rides can be reduced by sharing rides，and the dialabus system is designed to do this as well.information from the study for the new system suggests that depending on passengersneed，doortodoor transportation can serve its passengers almost as fast as a private taxi but at onequarter to onehalf the price.the key point is that the dialabus may do what other transportation systems dont do now.the system will attract more offpeak(非高峰期的) business than other normal transportation does.and if it does attract enough passengers，the offpeak income would keep dialabus away from the economic problems faced by other transportation services，which are used only 3 or 4 hours a day.it could also help reduce dependence upon cars.there is little question that the idea for the dialabus system will come true.most of the existing vehicles can comfortably carry 12 to 24 passengers.some can also offer services to airports.computers，radio communications and telephone links are enough for the needs of the dialabus system.a limited demonstration(演示) of the dialabus idea can almost certainly be finished within 3 years at a cost of less than 1 million using existing equipment.a fullscale(全面的) demonstration of the dialabus service，using vehicles and equipment specially designed to test all the possible advantages，probably can be completed within 7 years at a cost of less than 20 million.56one important character of the dialabus system is that_.ait serves special personsbit has no driverscit needs no electricitydit is fast and cheap57we can learn from the third paragraph that_.athe dialabus does the same things as other transportation systems dobmore people will enjoy the dialabus service at offpeak hourscother transportation services will earn more money than the dialabus servicedmore people will drive cars instead of using the dialabus system58according to the passage，the use of the dialabus system in the future is_.adoubtful bcertaincunknown dlimited59which of the following would be the best title for the passage?aa future transportation systembthe transportation problemsca new phone call systemdthe newlyinvented busesbresearch shows men and women have different styles of speaking.men tend to use “report talk” to express information and selfimportance，while women tend to use “rapport(融洽)_talk” to establish intimacy(亲密) and connection.then women will see men as selfcentered and domineering，while men will see women as illogical and insecure.men will accuse women of asking for advice and then not taking it and being unable to make decisions.women will accuse men of ignoring their feelings and always stepping in to solve problems with a lot of “you should”these differences impact the way messages are sent and received，causing communication breakdown.for example，a female supervisor seeks a conversation from her male boss about a problem she is having with one of her employees.she just wants him to listen to her and express what shes thinking.instead，he begins telling her what she should do with the problem employee.she becomes frustrated，feeling her time has been wasted.he feels he has solved the problem，and its time to move on.taking this situation into home，the wife wishes to discuss a problem shes having with her husband，and he jumps in with the solution before she has had a chance to express her opinions.she gets mad and leaves the room saying，“you just never listen！”in both cases，some very important communication skills are seriously lacking.first of all，the woman needs to show what she wants from the man.if she doesnt tell him what she wants in the beginning，he should be wise to ask，“do you want my advice or just want me to listen to you？”having an awareness of gender differences will help you increase understanding，decrease tension and improve teamwork.we should listen to each other and be more open to learning from our differences rather than allowing them to control our growth and ability to communicate with one another.60in mens eyes，women tend to be _.aindifferent bindecisivecfoolish dquicktempered61the underlined phrase “rapport talk” in the first paragraph refers to _.athe skill women use to communicatebthe way women use to express themselvescthe tone in which women talkdthe words women often say62which of the following communication skills is not mentioned in the text?awomen should express their requirements directly.bmen should find out what women want in a conversation.cmen and women should listen to each other.dwomen should be more careful.63the writer aims at telling us that _.amen and women have differencesbmen and women should accept their differencescmen and women cant communicate welldmen and women need some skills to communicatecevery time brisa shops for cooking oil，she checks the label to make sure she is not buying geneticallymodified (gm转基因) soy oil.“i am not sure whether gm food is safe or not.it just sounds scaring，”said brisa，a 47yearold food safetyconscious consumer who works in a hospital as an accountant.“i prefer nongm soy oil，although it is more expensive than gm oil.”while there has been no evidence to show gm food is harmful to humans，argument about it has arisen after the ministry of agriculture gave permission to two pestresistant (抗病虫的) gm rice varieties and a corn variety in november last yeara major step in promoting the research and planting of gm crops.officials，researchers and scientists are divided over whether and when gm food should be put into market.supporters and opponents have also been facing_off over environmental safety and economic security issues.the government has put food security high in its national development plans.national grain output reached 531 million tons last year，government data showed.but summer grain output fell by 0.3 percent this year to 123.1 million tons because of drought and low temperatures in grainproducing regions.with an increasing population and more natural disasters，policymakers are eyeing technology as a solution and hoping diseaseresistant and highyield crops developed by gm technology will help solve the growing problem of food shortages.supporters of gm food believe that such crops will help increase output and reduce the pressure on food supply caused by decreasing farmlands and frequent natural disasters in the world.gm crops have also fewer insects and diseases，which means they are safer for human beings and the environment，they argue.however，opponents say any gm food，as a completely new product，should be absolutely safe before it is made available to the public.they argue that if insects dont eat gm crops，how can you expect people to eat them?in 2006，countries that grew 97% of the global gm crops were the united states (53%)，argentina (17%)，brazil (11%)，canada (6%)，india (4%)，china (3%)，paraguay (2%) and south africa (1%)the next decade will see great progress in gm product development.technologies for gm foods offer dramatic promise for meeting some of the 21st centurys greatest challenges.like all new technologies，they also have some risks，both known and unknown.debates surrounding gm food and crops commonly focus on human and environmental safety，labeling and consumer choice，intellectual property rights，food security，poverty reduction，and environmental protection.64the argument over gm food started when_.aman consumers preferred gm oilbplanting gm crops was permittedcgm food was proved harmfuldno one could solve food problem65the underlined phrase “facing off” means_.aturning against each otherbsupporting each otherclooking down on each otherdsuspecting each other66it is implied in the passage that_.agm crops have no diseasesbfood shortages are a big threatcgm crops reduce the outputdnongm foods are not safe67the writer wishes us to_.aaccept gm food happilybreject gm food bravelycparticipate in the debatedknow about the argumentdthe alarm clock includes a pullout cooking tray that can hold a few frozen strips of bacon.when matty sallin,34，was working on a degree in art and technology at new york university，he got an interesting assignment in electronics class：create something for the household.he decided to create an alarm clock.“everybody has to deal with these every day，and they are extremely unpleasant！” he says.he asked different people what theyd like to be woken up by instead of a clanging，noisy alarm.a lot of them said，“the smell of bacon.”so sallin and two classmates invented a new kind of alarm clock：a wooden box with a pig face and a digital clock that uses the smell of cooking bacon rather than sound to wake someone up.he explains，“theres no danger of burning，because i built it carefully.it uses halogen light bulbs instead of a flame for cooking and turns off automatically after ten minutes.”just a few easy steps are required to set the “alarm”“what you do is put a couple of frozen strips in the night before，”says sallin.bacon is cured，or preserved，so there is no danger of it spoiling overnight.“if you set the alarm for 800，it will turn on at 750 and slow cook for ten minutes under the halogen bulbs，” he says.then the bulbs turn off and a fan blows the scent out through the nostrils of the pig.“s
