I went on my first volunteer project in West Virginia. On the night we arrived, we discovered that “our family” was living in a trailer(拖车) that was in poor condition. A crew had been working on it for two weeks, but every time they finished one problem, another surfaced. We decided the only reasonable solution was to build a new house something unusual but necessary under these circumstances. The family was overjoyed with their new house that was twenty by thirty feet with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchen.On Tuesday of that week, while we ate lunch together, I asked the familys three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan, What do you want for your new room? Expecting toys and other gadgets that children usually ask for, we were surprised when Josh responded, I just want a bed.The boys had never slept in a bed! They were accustomed to plastic mats. That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift. On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding. When we saw the delivery truck coming, we told the family about the surprise. We could hardly contain ourselves. It was like watching excited children on Christmas morning.That afternoon, as we fitted the frames of the beds tog tether, Eric ran into the house to watch us. Too dirty to enter his room, he observed with wide-eyed enthusiasm from the doorway.As my father slipped a pillowcase onto one of the pillows, Eric asked, What is that? A pillow, she replied. What do you do with it? Eric continued to ask. When you go to sleep, you put your head on it,” I answered softly. Tears came to our eyes as she handed Eric the pillow. Oh . . . thats soft, he said, hugging it tightly.Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems urgent, my Dad gently asks, Do you have a pillow? We know exactly what he means.56The writers first volunteer project was . Aworking on a poor trailerBhelping a poor familyCdonating beds and beddingDdealing with a housing problem57On bearing Joshs answer, the writer was shocked because .Athe family lived in a trailerBhe expected to get some toysChe didnt know what a bed wasDthe boys had no bed to sleep in58From the passage, we can learn that Eric had never seen before.Aa trailerBa truckCa pillowDa house59By saying “Do you have a pillow?”, the writers father means that . Awhat they want to get may be unnecessaryBthey should not waste money on small thingsCthey should do more volunteer work for the poorDwhat he will buy is not what they want but a pillowBThe Great Wall of China is one of Beijings biggest draws for tourists; despite its fame and ubiquity in postcards across the world, it rarely fails to attract tourists at the first proper sight.Yet the authorities open only certain sections of the wall as fit for viewing, and few get to visit the unauthorized sections. Fewer still are aware of the existence of at least one part of the Wall that remains in almost original condition, nearly 1,500 years after construction of legendary fortification began. But theres a good reason for this its underwater.American journalist Steven Schwankert has been diving since age 10. It was though his setting up of a diving school that Schwankert came to explore some of lesser known areas of Chinas lakes and discovered the underwater Wall under a reservoir.“The most fascinating piece of diving I ever did in China must be the Great Wall. I managed to find out about it via the Internet. It wasnt difficult to get to Pan Jiakou in Hebei Province, near the East Qing Tomb about 4 hours drive from Beijing. Why do I want to dive the Great Wall? Why do people want to walk on the Great Wall? Its the same answer.”There are, however, advantages of visiting the Great Wall in a diving suit over being on foot. The water acts as a preservative by preventing the kind of mass tourism that has brought trouble on other parts of the Wall. “Unlike the people who walk in the Wall, we as divers never need to actually touch it. Ive dived twice there, the last time in July. I found that the water then was much deeper than it was before 13 meters deep.” When he first dived, parts of the Wall were visible above the surface. Now even the guard tower is completely submerged. “Its better that the Wall is deep under water, as there are lots of boats coming in and out around that area. Their wave action could potentially damage the brickwork. So, the deeper, the better.”60Steven Schwankert is most interested in .Acollecting photos of the WallBwalking along on the WallCdiving the underwater WallDvisiting some famous lakes61What does the underlined word “submerged” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean?ADamaged by water.BWashed by water.CPreserved by water.DCovered by water.62What is the topic discussed in the last paragraph?AAdvantages of walking on the Great Wall.BAdvantages of visiting the underwater Wall.CThe reasons why the Wall is deep under water.DThe reasons why the underwater Wall is protected.63What can we infer from the text? AThe underwater Wall will sink deeper year by year.BDiving the Wall is popular with divers all over the world.CDiving is a good way to visit the Wall without causing much damage.DMore and more tourists will come to visit the underwater Wall in China.CGrown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced still swim as well as ever ever since. A man when he gets back who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins Twinkle, twinkle, little star。remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning , which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials(尝试)increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as Twinkle, twinkle, little star and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood. The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination. though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning. on the other hand, is really necessary for ones future development.64. What is the main idea of paragraph I?A. People remember well what they learned in childhood. B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups. C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words. D. Stories for children arc easy to remember.65 According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_.A. a result of overlearning B. a special case of cramming C. a skill to deal with math problems D. a basic step towards advanced studies66. What is the authors opinion on cramming?A. It leads to failure in college exams. B. Its helpful only in a limited way. C. Its possible to result in poor memory. D. It increases students learning interest. DOne of the greatest contributions to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its most unusual. In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations (引文) showing how it was used. This was a huge task. So Murrary had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American Surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his address as Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire, 50 miles from Oxford. Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next years, he became one of the staffs most valued contributors. But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline to visit Oxford. So in 1897, Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum (精神病院) for the Criminally insane. Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years. Murray continued to visit Minor regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds. In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend. Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed. The 12 volumes defined 414,825 words, and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient. 67. Why did Dr. Minor refuse to visit Oxford?A. He was shut in an asylum B. He lived far from OxfordC. He was busy writing a book D. He disliked traveling 68. Prof. Murray and Dr. Minor became friends mainly because _.A. they both served in the Civil War. B. They had a common interest in wordsC. Minor recovered with the help of MurrayD. Murray went to America regularly to visit Minor69. Which of the following best describe Dr. Minor?A. Brave and determined B. Cautious and friendly C. Considerate and optimistic D. Unusual and scholarly 70. What does the text mainly talk about?A. The history of the English language.B. The friendship between Murray and Minor C. Minor and the first Oxford English DictionaryD.

The term “green computing” is one that is being used in many different markets and areas all over the world in todays global technologyYet, many computer users out there arent sure what it meansGreen computing is actually pretty easy to explain and to do-it is basically learning to use computer resources more efficiently to help the environment as well as making energy savingsThe main goal of a green computing program is to cut down the use of energy and materials that harm the environment. Green computing helps to promote the use of biodegradable products and recycle computer parts whenever possible Green computing started as early as 1992, when the EPA created Energy Star, which is a voluntary labeling program that promotes energy efficient computing equipment and technologiesIt was because of this program that many computer manufacturers launched sleep mode and millions of computer users around the world began to adopt this policy to help save energy when they were not using their computers. The term “green computing” began to be used around the same time as well, and began to become a goal that more companies strive to meet over the yearsThere are several government agencies that have continued to help strive for better standards for computers and companies to help promote green promoting. Energy Star was actually revised in October of 2006 to make the requirements stricter for computers, and also implemented a ranking system for produ
