The earliest known young author is Francis Hawkins. In 1641, at the age of 8, he wrote a book called , a book on manners and etiquette for children. Lets take a look at some of the other child authors who have shaped history. Perhaps the most well-known child author is Anne Frank, a young Jewish girl, whose family was forced into hiding during World War II by the Nazis. Her diary which was published as is one of the most widely read books all over the world. It has been translated into over 50 languages. Perhaps the youngest author is Dorothy Straight of Washington, D.C. At the age of 4, she penned a book entitled which was published in 1964. A must-read for all teenage readers is Susan Eloise Hintons . Its a story of youth gang life and the book has sold more than a million copies and has been adapted into a popular movie. She began to work on the book in 1965, at the age of 15. It was published 2 years later and has been assigned (布置) reading in many high schools across the US. Perhaps the young writer who has written the most books is Gordon Korman. His first book was written as a 7th grade English assignment. He published 5 more books before graduating from high school, including and . Just more proof that age has nothing to do with talent. 56. What is this passage mainly talking about?A. How young writers develop.B. The history of youth literature.C. Francis Hawkins and his book.D. Several young writers and their books.57. If you want to learn something about the history of World War II, you could read _.A. B. C. D. 58. We can learn from the passage that .A. Anne Frank is surely the most famous child author in the worldB. besides Francis Hawkins, the author mentioned five other child writersC. students in many high schools in America are asked to read D. Dorothy Straight started to write at the age of 859. In the authors opinion, _.A. children can be as talented as adultsB. childrens books are much better than adultsC. childrens books contribute little to literature D. most talented writers write books when they are youngDo your kids like plastic toys? Well, I guess its time for them to play with wooden toys. I have always liked kids wooden toys since I was five. I always ran along on the back of a hobby horse pretending to be a cowboy from the West when I was a little boy. Now Im a dad and I still like buying these timeless natural wooden toys. They will never be out of style. My daughter has a childs rocking horse, and my two sons have wooden trains and cars. The great thing about this type of toys is that they will last generations if they are treated kindly. Even if they break, most of the time they can be repaired using spare parts bought from wooden-toy makers, and if the part is not too complicated (复杂的), you yourself can make the part from a piece of wood. What if they do break and cant be repaired? Well, at least they can be dealt with without having any bad effects on the environment. They can be turned into wood chippings and used for pathways in the country or play areas for kids. Even if the wooden toy is buried as rubbish, which is very rare these days, it will not harm the soil or the environment. I like all types of wooden toys. There is such a wide variety of wooden toys today and the choice is getting bigger day by day. As an alternative (替代品) to plastic toys, wooden toys cant be beaten. Im sure in the near future wood will no doubt become the number one material for making toys, as plastic becomes more and more expensive because of rising oil prices and the environmental issues concerning plastic. Plastic toys might harm kids health, too.60. Why does the author say wooden toys are timeless?A. Because wooden toys can be repaired easily.B. Because wooden toys do not cost much.C. Because wooden toys are good for the environment.D. Because wooden toys will never be outdated.61. According to the author, wooden toys which cant be repaired will _.A. be taken back by the makers B. need a lot of money to deal withC. not harm the environment D. be collected by collectors62. From the last paragraph, we can learn that _.A. plastic will be used up sooner or later B. plastic toys will not be allowed to be sold very soonC. wooden toys will become more popular in the futureD. wooden toys will become more and more expensive63. We can infer that this passage is written to _.A. tell us the disadvantages of plastic toysB. advise parents to buy wooden toys instead of plastic onesC. tell us how much the author and his children like wooden toysD. advise toy makers to make wooden toys rather than plastic onesLife will probably be very different in 2050. First of all, it seems that TV channels will have disappeared by 2050. Instead, people will choose a programme from a “menu” and a computer will send the programme directly to the television. Today, we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away. By 2050, music, films, programmes, newspapers and books will come to us in this way. In many places, agriculture is developing quickly and people are growing fruit and vegetables for export. This uses a lot of water. Therefore, there could be serious shortages. Some futurologists predict that water could be the cause of war if we dont act now. In future, cars will run on new, clean fuels and they will go very fast. Cars will have computers to control the speed of them and there wont be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination. Also, by 2050, space planes will fly people from Los Angels to Tokyo in just two hours. Some big companies now prefer to use robots that do not ask for pay rises or go on strike, and work 24 hours a day. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes. By 2050, we will be able to help blind and deaf people see again and hear again. Nowadays, scientists have discovered how to control genes and have already produced clones of animals. By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look, how they behave and how much intelligence they have. Scientists will be able to do these things, but should they?64. By 2050, people will get information mainly by _. A. watching TVB. reading newspapers C. listening to the radioD. turning to a website65. From the second paragraph, we learn that _.A. the need for water in the future will increase a lot B. future wars will lead to an increasing need for waterC. there can be no agriculture without enough water D. the population will decrease for lack of water 66. Which of the following is NOT a reality at the present time? A. Scientists have found out how to control genes. B. Cars have computers which tell drivers their positions.C. People can learn about what has happened anywhere on the Internet. D. Robots have completely replaced humans in some factories. 67. What will play the biggest part in the quality of future life? A. Medicine.B. Technology.C. Education. D. Agriculture. 68. Which of the following subjects is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Entertainment.B. Travel.C. Climate. D. Health.Genetically engineered (转基因的) crop plants that survive droughts and can grow with 70 percent less irrigation water have been developed by an international team. “This is an exciting development because it opens the door, not only to producing plants that can survive droughts, but also to reducing the amount of irrigation water,” said Eduardo Blumwald, a professor in the Department of Plant Sciences. “Because climate change is making rainfall patterns different,” Blumwald said, “agriculture must adapt by using new methods to make crops better able to survive droughts and make more efficient use of irrigation water.” Tobacco was chosen as an experimental plant because it is big, fast growing and a good model for many other crop plants. Most of all, the researchers put into the tobacco plants a gene that interrupted what normally leads to the loss of the plants leaves during drought. The loss of leaves is the beginning of the destruction of certain cells. The genetically modified tobacco plants and the non-modified plants in the experiments control group were all grown in a greenhouse under the same conditions for 40 days. Water was then kept away from all of the plants for 15 days so as to create extreme drought conditions. After that, all of the plants were re-watered for one week. The plants in the control group all died, but the genetically modified plants recovered. The research team is hopeful that similar results will be found in crop plants such as tomatoes, rice, wheat and cotton. Upon completion of the greenhouse experiments, the researchers plan to carry the research forward into field trials.69. According to the first paragraph, this new development not only helps to produce drought-surviving plants but also helps to _.A. solve the climate-change problemB. develop genetic engineeringC. advance the trend of modern agriculture D. make better use of irrigation water 70. What was the key that made the experiment successful?A. That tobacco was chosen as an experimental plant.B. That the experiment was carried out in a greenhouse.C. That a gene was put into the plants to prevent the loss of leaves.D. That the experimental plants were under the same situation.71. We can learn from the passage that .A. the experiment on tobacco lasted 60 days in totalB. some places rain less than before as a result of climate changeC. the research was headed by Professor Eduardo BlumwaldD. tobacco can survive droughts better than any other crop plant72. From the passage, we can infer that _.A. this research is the most successful research ever in agricultureB. the main problem that modern agriculture is facing is how to overcome droughtsC. researchers will do the same experiment on some other kinds of plantsD. the research results will only attract the attention of people who live in dry areasAt the end of October, Mexicans prepare to celebrate the Day of the Dead. The Day of the Dead celebration lasts two days, November 1 and November 2. On these days, Mexicans remember their dead friends and relatives. Before the Day of the Dead, markets and shops sell such special things as candles, flowers, candies, and chocolates that look like skulls or bones. They also sell bread called Bread of the Dead. The bread looks like skulls or bones, too! Families believe that their dead relatives and friends are going to visit them. They make an altar (祭坛) in their home for their dead visitors. The altar is a special table with pictures of the dead person. On it, people offer flowers, candles, and many different kinds of food and drinks including the special bread and candies for the Day of the Dead. The family also leaves a bowl of water and a towel. This is for the dead who come to visit them. At midnight, the family leaves the house. They go to the graves of their relatives. A grave is the place in the ground where people put a dead body. The family cleans the grave. They also decorate it with flowers and candles. They tell stories about the dead person. They eat, drink, play music, and sing songs. They are in quite a good mood on these two days. Different parts of Mexico have different Day of the Dead traditions. Today in many big towns, Mexican families get together to have a special dinner at home. They eat the Bread of the Dead at this meal. The Bread of the Dead has a toy skeleton in it. They are more than pleased if they eat the toy skeleton as it stands for good luck.73.
