Apollo B The Week C Self D New International C Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson Arizona He moved there a few years ago and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends My earliest memories 记忆 of my father are of a tall handsome successful man devoted to his work and family but uncomfortable with his children As a child I loved him He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as successful as he was Whenever I went out with him on weekends I used to struggle to think up things to say feeling on guard On the first day of my visit we went out with one of my father s friends for lunch at an outdoor caf We walked along that afternoon did some shopping ate something at the street table and laughed over my son s funny facial expressions Gone was my father s critical 挑剔的 air and strict rules Who was this person I knew as my father who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around What had held him back before The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood Although our times together became easier over the years I never felt closer to him at that moment After so many years I am at last seeing another side of my father and in so doing I m delighted with my new friend My dad in his new home in Arizona is back to me from where he was 64 Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult A He was silent most of the time B He was too proud of himself C He did not love his children D He expected too much of her 65 When the author went out with her father on weekend she would feel A nervous B sorry C tired D safe 66 What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson A More critical B More talkative C Gentle and friendly D Strict and hard working 67 The underlined words my new friend in the last paragraph refer to A the author s son B the author s father C the friend of the author s father D the caf owner D Thirteen vehicles lined up last March to race across the Mojave Desert seeking a million in prize money To win they had to finish the 142 mile race in less than 10 hours Teams and watchers knew there might be no winner at all because these vehicles were missing a key part drivers DARPA the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency organized the race as part of a push to develop robotic vehicles for future battlefields But the Grand Challenge as it was called just proved how difficult it is to get a car to speed across an unfamiliar desert without human guidance One had its brake lock up in the starting area Another began by throwing itself onto a wall Another got tied up by bushes near the road after 1 9 miles One turned upside down One took off in entirely the wrong direction and had to be disabled by remote 远距离的 control One went a little more than a mile and rushed into a fence another managed to go for six miles but stuck on a rock The winner if there was any reached 7 8 miles before it ran into a long narrow hole and the front wheels caught on fire You get a lot of respect for natural abilities of the living things says Reinhold Behringer who helped design two of the car size vehicles for a company called Sci Autonics Even ants 蚂蚁 can do all these tasks effortlessly It s very hard for us to put these abilities into our machines The robotic vehicles though with necessary modern equipment such as advanced computers and GPS guidance had trouble figuring out fast enough the blocks ahead that a two year old human recognizes immediately Sure that very young child who has just only learned to walk may not think to wipe apple juice off her face but she already knows that when there s a cookie in the kitchen she has to climb up the table and that when she gets to the cookie it will taste good She is more advanced even months old than any machine humans have designed 68 Watchers doubted if any of the vehicles could finish the race because A they did not have any human guidance B the road was not familiar to the drivers C the distance was too long for the vehicles D the prize money was unattractive to the drivers 69 DARPA organized the race in order to A raise money for producing more robotic vehicles B push the development of vehicle industry C train more people to drive in the desert D improve the vehicles for future wars 70 From the passage we know robotic vehicles are a kind of machines that A can do effortlessly whatever tasks living things can B can take part in a race across 142 miles with a time limit C can show off their ability to turn themselves upside down D can move from place to place without being driven by human beings 71 In the race the greatest distance one robotic vehicle covered was A about eight miles B six miles C almost two miles D about one mile 72 In the last paragraph the writer implies that there is a long way to go A for a robotic vehicle to finish a 142 mile race without any difficulties B for a little child who has just learned to walk to reach the cookie on the table C for a robotic vehicle to deal with a simple problem that a little child can solve D for a little child to understand the importance of wiping apple juice off its face 第二节 简答题 共 3 小题 每小题 2 分 共 6 分 阅读下面短文 根据第 73 至 75 小题的具体要求 简要回答问题 Westward Expansion Starting in the 1800s hundreds of thousands of Americans decided to move away from the original 13 colonies and move west States like Oregon and California didn t exist yet in fact no one had even drawn a complete map of the area Explorers like Lewis and Clarke were the first to brave nature and hostile Native Americans to explore the land and settlers soon followed Not like today there are airplanes and roads the trek to the West was hard And life in the Wild West was difficult When pioneers arrived at their destination their journey only just began With few resources settlers had to rely on themselves and the land Hunting wild animals provided some food and the leather for clothing New settlers also gather wild fruits nuts and berries until they could plant their own crops Pioneers families tended to be large Children were helpful in new lands Girls soon learned important household tasks gathering cooking spinning weaving mending sewing and making soap and candles Boys worked in the woods and fields with their fathers They learned to chop wood to clear out brushes and to build fences Of course pioneers had more to worry about than just everyday household duties The arrival of so many Americans on the frontier sparked a war with Mexico over land As pioneers demanded more land problems with Native American tribes also increased Many tribes resisted and fought back against the American government and settlers but all the tribes were defeated Through their labors and accomplishments pioneers helped define the character of A
