front of my lads I don t do it in front of my family I would say that I am 95 cured but there are times when I mess up he said Once you go down this path it s something you continually struggle with which is exactly why the law is so important The new law is not about me it s about the next generation of kids coming up What we don t want is kids going down that path he said Nearly 20 of Americans

According to the passage Obama is most concerned about 用心 爱心 专心5 A children B officials C his family D businessmen B B Thanks a Million Dad I was born disabled A difficult birth feet first my head stuck By my first birthday I couldn t stand or walk When I was three the doctor told dad I had cerebral palsy 脑瘫 A loss of oxygen to my brain had destroyed brain signals to the right side of my body But no son of my dad s was going to be disabled Every morning before breakfast and every evening before bed my dad placed me on the bedroom floor to exercise my right leg The muscles were shrunk and twisted together Back and forth up and down my dad pushed and pulled the muscles into shape But my dad s exercise of passion didn t stop there For my 13th birthday he threw me a special party When everybody was gone he brought me to open a large box it was a set of boxing gloves We put them on My dad kept on beating me mercilessly Each time I tried to get up leather kissed my nose eyes and jaw I begged him to stop He said he beat me to get me ready for the tough world That same year I was the only kid in my neighbourhood that wasn t picked for Little League Two weeks later Dad started the Shedd Park Minor League and every kid played Dad coached us and made me a pitcher 棒球投手 The power of my dad s love guaranteed I walked and more In high school I became a football star In 1997 a brain surgeon in San Jose told me I didn t t have cerebral palsy after all He explained how and where the doctor s forceps 镊子 at birth had damaged my brain My dad never knew the whole truth since he passed away years ago But all that counts is the bottom line After all his madness on this Father s Day like every Father s Day I m no longer disabled 44 What caused the author s disability A A failed operation B The doctor s forceps C An accident in a game D Shrunken and twisted muscles 55 What do we learn from the passage A The author has a talent for boxing B The author achieved a lot thanks to his father s love C The author became a baseball star with the help of his father D The author doesn t think his father should be so strict with him 46 Paragraph 3 suggests that the author s father A wouldn t give up hope easily B believed his son was a normal child C blamed the doctors for his son s disability D couldn t accept the truth that his son was disabled 47 The author wrote the passage to 用心 爱心 专心6 A remember his father B encourage disabled children C show the difficulty the disabled face D give advice to the parents of disabled children C C At night bats fly through the air catching hundreds of insects and other small animals But during the day they hardly move at all Instead bats pass the time hanging upside down from a secret spot There are a couple of reasons why bats rest this way First of all it puts them in a position for takeoff Unlike birds bats can t fly into the air from the ground Their wings don t produce enough lift to take off from a dead stop and their hind legs are so small and underdeveloped that they can t run to build up the necessary takeoff speed Instead they use their front claws to climb to a high spot and then fall into flight During the hours when most enemies are active bats gather where few animals would think to look and most can t reach This allows them to disappear from the world until night comes again There s also little competition for these resting spots as other flying animals don t have the ability to hang upside down Bats have a unique physiological adaptation that lets them hang around this way without using any energy For you to hold your fist around an object tight you contract 紧缩 several muscles in your arm which are connected to your fingers by tendons 腱 as one muscle contracts it pulls a tendon which pulls one of your fingers closed A bat s talons 爪 close in the same way except that their tendons are connected only to the upper body not to a muscle To hang upside down a bat pulls its claws open with other muscles To get the talons to take hold of the surface the bat simply lets its body relax The weight of the upper body pulls down on the tendons connected to the talons causing them to hold tight Therefore the bat doesn t have to do anything to hang upside down 48 Bats hang upside down because A they haven t developed a pair of strong claws B they can t start to fly from the ground directly C they have no hind legs to support their body D they can t find quiet places to stay during the day 49 The third paragraph tells us that bats hanging upside down A is to save their energy for night movement B is a way to fight against flying animals C is a great way to hide from danger D is a skill to compete for the flying places 50 Why can bats hang upside down easily A Because their upper body is light B Because they have strong muscles 用心 爱心 专心7 C Because their talons are linked to muscles tightly D Because their tendons are linked to their upper body 51 What is the passage mainly about A The living habits of bats B How and why bats hang upside down C The importance of bats hanging upside down D How bats use their energy at night D D When a child is told he is uncool it can be very painful He may say he doesn t care and even act in ways that are opposite of cool on purpose But ultimately these are simply ways to handle sadness by pretending it s not there Helping a child feel better in school had to be careful If you say Why are you worried about what other children think about you It doesn t matter children know that it does matter Instead an active way may be best You could say I m going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school If a boy is having trouble making friends the teacher can help him The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him A teacher can also raise a child s popularity in the group by showing that he values that child It even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child or let him be a partner with that child in activities etc There are things that parents can do at home too Be friendly when your child brings others home to play Encourage him to invite friends to meals and then serve the dishes they consider super When you plan trips picnics movies and other shows invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends What you can do is to give him a chance to join a group that may be shutting him out Then if he has good qualities he can start to build real friendship of his own 52 A child who has been informed of being uncool may A care nothing about it B develop a sense of anger C do something uncool purposely D pretend to get hurt very much 53 A teacher can help an unpopular child by A seeing the child as the teacher s favourite B asking the child to do something for partners C forcing other children to make friends with the child D offering the child chances to show his good qualities 54 How can parents help their child fit in better 用心 爱心 专心8 A By cooking delicious food for him B By being kind to his schoolmates C By forcing him to invite friends home D By taking him to have picnics in the park 55 Which of the following is TRUE A Children doesn t care others comments on them B It s only teacher s work to make children popular C Parents should take their children out for picnic and shows more often D Inviting children s friends to family activities is good for them to make friends 56 The passage mainly talks about A how to help an unpopular child B why some children are unpopular C who is responsible for unpopular children D how to find out good points of unpopular children E E ADDIS

of a word Dictionaries are considered the final authority on these matters as well as on pronunciations and other facts about a word Until a few hundred years ago however people could not look it up because there were no English dictionaries The ancient Greeks and Romans and the scholars of the Middle Ages had made lists of Latin and Greek words 61 The first great English dictionary listing both common and uncommon words was written by Samuel Johnson in 1755 In America the most famous name in dictionary writing is that of Noah Webster He stressed American rather than British ways of speaking His great dictionary which first appeared in 1828 has been republished many times 62 The latest edition is still considered the dictionary It defines over 450 000 words including radar television and many others undreamed of by Webster 63 The huge ones that rest on stands in libraries are called unabridged meaning not shortened They tell not only a word s meaning and spelling but also its
