sea the ocean Babies are supposed to instinctually know who they daddy is Gerald Dooriya s daddy said holding Dooriya before him But she don t recognize nothing Everybody had something to say about raising my baby but none of them actually did any raising Taking Dooriya to see the ocean had become the only thing that kept me from feeling like my life was an everlasting losing race this vision of what could be for my little girl When I told Momma about my plans to visit the lighthouse 灯塔 at Cape Hatteras she just spun her broken record That baby 11 never understand a thing of what she s seeing My baby book says I should treat her just like any other child It s good to show her beautiful things even if she don t know what she s seeing It helps her brain develop How s her brain gonna develop if all she ever sees is the walls inside this crummy house That child s brain ain t never gonna develop We love her but it s not like she s ever gonna not be a Mongoloid 先天愚型患者 I had read a half dozen books about Down Syndrome that said stimulation 刺 激 might improve a child s chances of developing to her fullest potential And what s more stimulating than a trip to see the ocean Guidebooks described the area as the land of beginnings which I liked the sound of But before I could map out a plan I woke up one night when Dooriya hiccupped 打嗝 Then she just stopped breathing The ER doctor gave me a pamphlet on SIDS sudden infant death syndrome and said children with Down Syndrome are much more likely to be affected by this sort of thing I didn t remember much about driving to Cape Hatteras especially taking Dooriya from the hospital But up on that lighthouse with its broad spiral running up and around it like a black and white barber s pole I saw my life twist into the air As I climbed the winding stairs I counted the steps 268 in all stopping on 77 Dooriya s very number of days on this planet At the top I held Dooriya up to the Atlantic its cold air raising the thin soft hair on her head With her eyes closed and her arms spread out it looked like she was bathing in the warmth of the sun 1 From Gerald s words But she don t recognize nothing we know A The baby was probably born with the eye problem B The father thought the baby was abnormal 用心 爱心 专心2 C The baby could recognize nothing except her father D The father made up an excuse not to care for the baby 2 Did anybody else besides her mother actually take the responsibility to raise the baby A The father B The grandma C Nobody D The doctor 3 The reason why the mother wanted to take her baby to see the ocean is that A She believed seeing the ocean could help cure her baby s disease B She wanted her baby to enjoy her remaining time C She believed the ocean was the land of beginnings D She wanted her baby to enjoy nature 4 Which of the following is true according to the text A The doctor eventually saved the life of the baby B The baby was disabled by her careless mother C The baby enjoyed the sunshine while seeing the ocean D The disease SIDS took away the life of the baby B Electric cars are dirty In fact not only are they dirty they might even be more dirty than their gasoline powered cousins People in California love to talk about zero emissions 排放 vehicles but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from Power plants most all use fire to make it Apart from the few people who have their roofs covered with solar cells we get our electricity from generators 发 电机 Generators are fueled by something usually coal oil but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants There are a few wind farms and geothermal 地 热 plants as well but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something In other words those zero emissions cars are likely coal burning cars Because the coal is burned somewhere else it looks clean It is not true It s as if the California Greens are covering their eyes If I can t see it it s not happening Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it But when you take that gas or another fuel and first use it to make electricity you waste a nice part of that energy mostly in the form of wasted heat at the generator through the transmission lines etc A gallon of gas may drive your car 25 miles But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won t get you nearly as far so electric cars burn more fuel than gasoline powered ones If our electricity came mostly from wind or geothermal or solar then an electric car truly would be clean But for political technical and economic reasons we don t use much of those energy sources In addition electric cars batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill And finally when cars are the polluters 用心 爱心 专心3 the pollution is spread across all the roads When it s a power plant though all the junk is in one place Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot 66 What s the main idea of the passages A Electric cars aren t actually clean B Electric cars are zero emissions vehicles C Zero emissions vehicles are popular D Gasoline powered cars are more efficient 67 Which of the following words can replace be clueless about in Paragraph 2 A Be familiar with B Be curious about C Fail to understand D Show their interest in 68 The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car run A at least 25 miles B more than 25 miles C as far as 25 miles D less than 25 miles 69 In the author s opinion compared with cars using gas electric cars are more A environmentally friendly B expensive C efficient D harmful 70 It can be inferred from the passage that A electric cars batteries are poisonous for a long time B now electric cars are used more than their gasoline powered cousins C zero emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environment D electric cars are not clean in that we get electricity mainly by burning something C Fathers should be neither seen nor heard wrote Oscar Wilde this is the only proper basis for family life it s hard to say what Wilde would have thought of this week s cover photo or the pictures inside of dads and their children Several clearly oppose the outdated idea of fathers as detached 使分 开 使分离 from the parenting process and that s just what the photographers intended Gregory Heisler who did the cover photograph says he wanted the image to show genuine affections So rather than use professional models he went out and found some real dads and their real kids Adds Heisler Instead of doing some skilful over produced photographs I wanted something more authentic to the experience of being a father This isn t the first time that Heisler 39 has conveyed complex ideas for the cover of TIME His photographs have decorated the front of the magazine some 20 times ranging from Olympic athlete Jackie Joyner Kersee and director Davis Lynch to former President George Bush and Ted Turner for the Man of the Year issues in 1991 and 1992 respectively But this week s TIME cover has special meaning he says 用心 爱心 专心4 because he and his wife had their first child Lucy 16 months ago The pictures appearing inside were all done by photographer Jeffrey Lowe Although Lowe has not experienced fatherhood yet he observed many warm moments of parenting by spending a lot of private time with each dad and child Of all the pictures Lowe was most deeply touched by the father to be embracing his pregnant wife While most of the credit for the pictures rightly goes to those behind the camera cover coordinator 协调者 Linda Freeman and assistant picture editor Mary Worrell Bousquette who work behind the scenes also deserve praises Freeman for instance had the challenging task of making arrangements for the group portrait of child movie stars that appears on page 62 Says she My greatest reward is working with these talented artists Bousquette edited the pictures that appear inside I wanted our story to show the many faces of fatherhood she says At least in this issue those fathers are seen as well as heard Sorry Oscar 71 In this week s TIME the photographers wanted A to show Oscar Wilde s view had gone out of date B to show honor to the famous playwright Oscar Wilde C to support Oscar Wilde s view D to say sorry to Oscar Wilde 72 In Oscar Wilde s view A fathers should stay actively involved in their children s lives B there should be distance between fathers and children in family life C what fathers enjoy most is family life D fathers aren t sure about what they should do at home 73 What does the underlined word genuine mean A real B artificial C professional D skillful 74 Jeffrey Lowe managed to show fathers feelings accurately in his photos by A trying to experience fatherhood himself B spending most of his time with his pregnant wife C studying the relationship between each member in a family D mixing with many fathers and their children 75 What is the author s main purpose in writing this passage A To comment on Oscar Wilde s view on fatherhood B To make a brief introduction to the current issue of TIME C To give his own opinion on fatherhood D To praise the work by the photographers and the editors 信息匹配 请阅读下列应用文和相关信息 并按照要求匹配信息 以下是音乐会的信息 A A PopPop star star Singer and composer Emil Chau one of the most admired
