about engagement when my boyfriend, jack, had to go to war. i was so afraid of losing him; the only way i could stay sane(保持清醒) was to dance. i became very good and critics praised me, but i could feel was the ache in my heart, no knowing whether the love of my life would ever return. and then one day a letter from him came:“i have lost my leg. i am no longer a whole man and now give you back your freedom. it is best you forget me.”i made my decision there and then i left the city. when i returned i had bought myself a cane(拐杖) and learned to limp convincingly. i told everyone i had been in a car crash and that my leg would never completely heal again. my dancing days were over. no one suspected the story. and i made sure the first person to hear of my accident was a reporter. then i travelled to the hospital. they had pushed him outside in his wheelchair. i leaned on my cane and limped to him.i told him he was not the only one who had lost a leg, even if mine were still attached to me. i showed him newspaper clippings of my accident. “ there is a whole life waiting for us out there! and i am not going to carry youyou are going to walk yourself.”i limped a few steps towards him and showed him what id taken out of my pocket.” now show me you are still a man,” i said. he bent to take his cane and struggled out of that wheelchair. i could see he had not done it before, because he almost fell on his face. but i was not going to help. finally he managed it on his own and walked to me and never sat in a wheelchair again in his life.what i showed to him was engagement rings. and i would limp with him for the rest of life.56. the author felt ache in her heart though critics praised her dancing because_.ashe wasnt sure if jack still loved her. b. jack became

roller skates are made up of a leather boot, very strong sole plate, and a jump bar that adds extra force. the boot sits a few inches above the ankle, providing more support for the foot. jam skatesjam skates are the most different roller skates because of their special low-cut design and lack of toe stop. thats right: there is no brake. but the original jam skate design was different, resembling an artistic skate. jam skating is more about personal expression rather than speed skating. the free-flowing movements of jam skating have been given many names. but regardless of its name, jam skating has always been about expression and passion.speed skatesa speed skate resembles a shoe. the cut of the boot is lower. speed skates typically offer lightweight plates to reduce exhaustion for skating long distances. jam skates have preferred speed skates because they offer a similar design and freedom of movement. the most obvious difference is that a speed skate features a toe stop, unlike a jam skate that uses a toe plug.rhythm skatesrhythm skates are similar to jam skates. the difference between them lies in the boot design. in fact, the boot design looks very similar to an artistic skate, essentially providing you with the ankle support benefits of an artistic skate, but the freedom of movement of a jam skate. if you want a skate that allows you to move to the beat, which added ankle support, the rhythm skate is the ideal choice.61. which of the following is not a feature of jam skates?a. they have no brake b. they lack a toe stopc. they have no toe plug. d. they have a unique, low-cut design.62. if you want to skate to music, which of the following is the best choice?a. rhythm skates b. jam skates c. speed skates d. artistic skates63. speed skates are popular with jam skates because _.a. they have a high boot cut b. they allow free-flowing movement.c. they are able to stabilize the foot d. they can help jam skates reduce tiredness.64. what is a common feature of rhythm and jam skates?a. they both offer some support for the ankles.b. they both have a similar boot design.c. they are both suitable for free-flowing movement.d. they are both about personal expression and passion.65. what can you learn from the passage about jam skates?a. the original jam skate design has hardly changed.b. the original jam skate design was similar to an artistic skate. c. jam skates have gradually become a type of speed skate.d. jam skating has many names because its about expression and passion. chave you heard of snake robots? scientists and doctors are already using tiny snakes that coil through the human body armed with sharp surgical tools to perform operations on hearts, prostate cancer, and other diseased organs. the snake robots that carry tiny cameras, scissors and forceps, and even more advanced sensors are being developed. the next generation of the robots will be wireless, and will explore inside your body on their own- not attached to any cables. for now, they are powered by cables that humans control. experts say the day is coming when some robots will roam around the body on their own. but the experts in robotics say the new creations work best when they are designed for very specific tasks.howie choset has been researching and building robots, particularly snake robots. he believes that his snake robot and others like it can help reduce medical costs by making complex surgery faster and easier. choset says his new design is smaller and more flexible than earlier models. the size of surgical robots allows surgeons to operate with far less damage to the body, helping the patient heal faster. choset has also built larger snake robots designed for search and rescue, or just exploration. they can climb poles and trees and then look around through a camera in the head and slither through places that humans cannot reach.“ we sent our snake robots into these caves in the red sea to look for evidence of ancient egyptian ships,” he said. “ to me, archeology is like search and rescue, but everyone has been dead for 5,000 years.”the doctors are very excited about the potential for surgical robots to do things that humans cant do. the variety of sensors available for surgical robots keeps expanding. as they get smaller, maybe one day they will be able to test chemicals or blood in the body, or even the electrical connections in nerves.66. what can we learn from the first paragraph?a. the doctors carry out surgery using snake robots mainly for heart disease.b. the doctors are very satisfied with the new snake robots during surgery.c. snake robots are completely free of human control today.d. other supplementary appliances will be added to snake robots.67. which of the following is true, according to the passage?a. snake robots are only used in the medical field.b. snake robots can reduce the patients medical costs.c. scientists are uncertain about the prospects for snake robots.d. scientists are forced to spend a lot of time researching snake robots.68. how can snake robots work best, according to the passage?a. when they carry tiny cameras, scissors and forceps.b. when they are operated by experienced doctors.c. when they are given a wireless function.d. when they are designed for particular tasks.69. why do we know about howie choset, according to the passage?a. he thought snake robots of different sizes can be used for different types of surgery.b. he thought patients pain had been slightly reduced with the help of snake robots.c. he also made snake robots for search, rescue and exploration.d. he is very interested in researching ancient egyptian ships.70. the writers attitude towards the new technology is _.a. optimisticb. doubtful c. objective d. negativedtens of thousands of smartphone applications are running ads from the overwhelming(势不可挡的) advertising networks that change smartphone settings and copy peoples contact information without permission.aggressive ad networks can disguise（假扮） ads as text message notifications (通告), and sometimes change browser settings and bookmarks. often, the ads will upload your contacts list to the ad networks servers- information that the ad network can then sell to marketers.sounds scary? its not a giant problem yet, but its a growing one. as many as 5% of free mobile apps use an “aggressive” ad network to make money, according to lookout, a san francisco-based mobile sec
