Then I found that my mother was not the best teacher for me. It wasnt that she shouted, or told me that I was doing poorly. As you can imagine, my mothers helpful instructions only managed to make me more nervous. Since I could no longer practice with her, the job was placed in the hands of my father. The idea of learning from Dad was not one that thrilled me. I loved him dearly, but I just did not see Dad as someone I could be comfortable learning from. He almost never talked. We shared a typical father-daughter relationship. Hed ask how school was, and Id say it was fine. Unfortunately, that was the most of our conversations. Spending hours alone with someone who might as well have been a stranger really scared me. As we got into the car that first time, I was not surprised at what happened. Dad and I drove around, saying almost nothing, aside from a few instructions on how to turn. As my lessons went on, however, things began to change. Dad would turn the radio up so I could fully appreciate his favorite Stones music. And he actually began talking. I was soon hearing about past failed dates, basic body gym class, and other tales from his past, including some of his first meeting with Mom. Dads sudden chattiness was shocking until I thought about why he was telling me so much in the car. In all the years that I had wondered why my father never spoke that much, I had never stopped to consider that it was because I had never bothered to listen. Homework, friends, and even TV had all called me away from him, and, consequently, I never thought my quiet father had anything to say. Since I began driving with him, my driving skill has greatly increased. More important, though, is that my knowledge of who my father is has also increased. Just living with him wasnt enough it took driving with him for me to get to know someone who was a mystery.24. The author couldnt practice driving with her mother because_. A. she couldnt talk with her mother B. her mother made her nervous C. her father wanted to teach her D. she didnt trust her mother25. At first, the idea of learning driving from her father made her . A. happy B. disappointed C. satisfied D. uneasy26. What surprised the author when the driving lessons went on? A. Her Dad was a chatty person. B. Her Dad was the best teacher. C. Her Dad liked modern music. D. Her Dad told her his sad stories.27. With her story Car Talk, the author indicates that . A. fathers love their daughters dearly B. family members need real communication C. mothers are less patient than fathers D . it takes time to improve the father-daughter relationshipC Times are a little tough at our house right now. Neither of us makes a lot of money, but years of experience have taught us how to walk between the raindrops and make it from one month to the next with a fair amount of grace. I cook a lot at home, more when were facing lean times. When I know that I have to keep us fed on not much money, I fall back on my grandmothers recipes. She taught me to cook. When I was a kid, my twin brother and I spent long summer weeks and Christmas vacations with my mothers parents in the mountains of North Carolina. Rather than go hunting with my grandfather on frozen mornings, I found myself more and more in the kitchen with my grandmother, watching her making a lemon cheese pie with her soft hands. My great-grandmother died when my grandmother was 11 years old. As the eldest daughter, she was expected to take on all of the housework while attending school. Throughout the Great Depression, she learned how to make a little food go a long way. Vegetables were cheap, so she cooked a lot of them, mostly only using small amounts of meat for seasoning. Roast beef was a twice-a-month luxury, but there was nothing she couldnt do with a chicken, every part of it. Nothing went to waste. Now I understand that her food was sacred（神圣的）. I feel connected to my grandmother and to hundreds of years of family when Im in my kitchen making country food. In the delicious smells is a long tale of victory over hard times, of conquering starvationof not just surviving, but finding joy and pleasure in every meal of every day. From grandmother I learned to take real satisfaction in feeding people. My grandmother would beam with pleasure over a heavily laden table and say：“Do you know what this would cost at the restaurant？”I never knew what restaurant in particular she had in mind, but I knew that the question was totally not fair, because no restaurant anywhere can cook like a grandmother. But now, thanks to her guidance and years of practice, I can. 28. According to the passage, the author cooks a lot at home because_. A. she wants to try out her grandmothers recipes B. she is quite particular about food C. the food in restaurants is unhealthy D. she and her husband are embarrassed financially 29. According to the passage, the authors grandmother_. A. learnt to cook because of the Great Depression B. was good at cooking as well as careful in budgeting C. preferred chicken to beef D. had to walk a long way to learn cooking in a restaurant 30. It can be inferred from the passage that the author_. A. liked to compare her grandmothers food with that in restaurants B. learnt something more precious than cooking from her grandmother C. hasnt found the joy in cooking though she can cook like her grandmother D. feels connected to her grandmother when making country food in the kitchen 31. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A. Cook like my grandmother B. My grandmothers sacred food C. My grandmothers recipe D. Joy and pleasure in cookingDWe know the famous ones-the Thomas Edison and the Alexander Graham Bells-but what about the less famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper(雨刮器)? Shouldnt we know who they are? Joan McLean thinks so. In fact, McLean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so strongly about this matter that shes developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning whoinvented what, however, McLean also likes her students to learn the answers to the why and howquestions. According to McLean, When students learn the answers to these questions, they are betterprepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing atry. Her students agree. One young man with a patent(专利证） for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof ofMcLeans statement. If I had not heard the story of the windshield wipers invention, said Tommy Lee, a senior physics major, I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorminto something so constructive. Lee is currently negotiating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer. So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with the ideain 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to seethe sights,so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through thesnow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldnt be a built-in device forcleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama,Anderson started drafting out solutions. One of her ideas, a lever (操作杆) on the inside of a vehiclethat would control an arm on the outside,became the first windshield wiper. Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations. Its hard to imagine driving withoutGarrett A. Morgans traffic light. Its equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J. Blodgetts innovation that makes glass invisible. Can you picture life without clear windows andeyeglasses?32. By mentioning traffic light and windshield wiper, the author indicates that countless inventionsare _. A. beneficial, because their inventors are famous B. beneficial, though their inventors are less famous C. not useful, because their inventors are less famous D. not useful, though their inventors are famous33.

Tommy Lees invention of the unbreakable umbrella was _.A. not eventually accepted by the umbrella producerB. inspired by the story behind the windshield wiperC. due to his dream of being caught in a rainstormD. not related to Professor Joan McLeans lectures35. Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage? A. How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers? B. How to Design a Built-in Device for Cleaning the Window? C. Shouldnt We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper? D. Shouldnt We Develop Invention Courses in Universities?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分1 0分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Do you want to put a smile on someones face?
