14、 a few year later at Jamaicas Olympic games in early 2008,Shelly Ann,who at that time only ranked number 70 in the world,beat Jamaicas unchallenged queen of the sprint（短跑）.Where did she come from?asked an astonished sprinting world,before concluding that she must be one of those one-hit wonders that

15、 spring up from time to time,only to disappear again without signs.But Shelly Ann was to prove that she was anything but a one-hit wonder.At the Beijing Olympic she swept away any doubts about her ability to perform consistently by becoming the first Jamaican woman ever to win the 100 meters Olympic

16、 gold.She did it again one year on at the World Championship in Briton,becoming world champion with a time of 10.73the fourth record ever.Shelly-Ann is a little woman with a big smile.She has a mental toughness that did not come about by chance. Her journey to becoming the fastest woman on earth has

17、 been anything but smooth and effortless,She grew up in one of Jamaicas toughest inner-city communities known as Waterhouse,where she lived in a one-room apartment, sleeping four in a bed with her mother and two brothers.Waterhouse,one of the poorest communities in Jamaica,is a really violent and ov

18、erpopulated place.Several of Shelly-Anns friends and family were caught up in the killings;one of her cousins was shot dead only a few streets away from where she lived.Sometimes her family didnt have enough to eat.She ran at the school championships barefooted because she couldnt afford shoes.Her m

19、other Maxime,one of a family of fourteen,had been an athlete herself as a young girl but,like so many other girls in Waterhouse,had to stop after she had her first baby.Maximes early entry into the adult world with its responsibilities gave her the determination to ensure that her kids would not end

28、 the conflict. We have picked out three of them in European countries.

29、e World War. In the center of the exhibition was a big egg made of clay, symbolizing a new world.UKIn a small town called Aldridge, almost 100 houses in one street were covered with 24,000 poppies and statues of soldiers. They stood for the men from the area who had been killed in the war. The flowe

30、rs were chosen because of a poem written by the Canadian doctor John McCrea in 1915. They made people think of fields of blood.FranceThe British artist Guy Denning arrived in La Feuille, a small town in the northwest of France, to stick life-size drawings of soldiers who never came back home.

35、th the encouragement of her uneducated and poor parents. “They allowed me to do what I wanted to do,” Verma said, “I hope that other parents dont make their children accept their choices.”Sushma lives with her family in a crowded single-room apartment in Lucknow. Their only income is her fathers dai

36、ly wage of up to 200 rupees (less than $3. 50) for laboring on construction sites. Their most precious possessions include a study table and a second-hand computer. It is not a great atmosphere for studying, she admitted. But having no television and little else at home has advantages, she said. “Th

37、ere is nothing to do but study.”Her first choice was to become a doctor, but she cannot take the test to qualify for medical school until she is 18. “So I chose the masters of science and then I will do a doctors degree,” she said.In another family, Sushma might not have been able to receive higher

38、education. Millions of Indian children are still not enrolled in grade school, and many of them are girls whose parents choose to hold them back in favour of advancing their sons. Some from conservative (守旧的) village cultures are expected only to get married. “The girl is an inspiration for students

39、 who are born with everything”, said Dr. Bindeshwar Pathak of Sulabh International, who decided to help after seeing a local television program on Sushma.

The aluminum models just wont do itthey close

43、 too neatly and keep their perfect form for decades. In the 1960s, a time of imperfection, there was no perfect house, no perfect car, no perfect kids or parents. Why should a screen door be an exception?I grew up with my siblings in a working-class neighborhood in New Jersey. When the warm weather

44、arrived, my dad would pull out the wooden screen door and install it over the back door, which could then be left wide open, admitting a refreshing breeze (we had no air conditioning).My father was a Mr. Fix-it, so keeping the screen door serviceable was one of his hobbies. Every few years he gave i

45、t a fresh coat of paint and fixed it a bit. I distinctly remember him putting the last screw in the last hinge (铰链), and swinging the door shut with a “crack!”A good, wooden screen door, unsightly as it was, had an invaluable function in the age of the stay-at-home mom: It alerted her to the coming

46、and going of the kids. My siblings, and my friends ran in and out of the house, tearing the screen door open and letting it slap shut behind us. A hundred times a day. It was all good, and my mom never complained about the noise, because that was the purpose of a wooden screen doorto slam shut and t

47、hereby announce that her children were within earshot.Several years ago, in a fit of nostalgia (怀旧), I went shopping for a wooden screen door. I was disappointed in the choices available. They looked a bit too solid, too well made. But I found one online, and within a week it was delivered to my doo

48、rstep.The firm had sent me one with the wrong dimensions, so I asked my carpenter to make the necessary adjustments. Ozzie worked away at it for a couple of hours until he got it to sit neatly in its frame. I gave it a test: I pulled it open and let go. It closed in a lazy fashion. “Not good,” I pro

49、nounced. “Please remove the automatic door closer and adjust the door so it swings shut with a good crack.”Ozzie went about his work and a short while later the task was done. The door was uneven in its frame, and the screen no longer lay flat. But when I pulled open the door and released it, the th

50、ing clapped shut like a rifle shot. “What do you think?” I asked. “It looks like hell,” said Ozzie. “But it sounds like heaven,” I said. And I, being the owner of the doorand the memoryhad the final word.1、What particular function did the wooden screen door perform in the writers childhood?AIt funct

51、ioned as an air conditioner in summer.BIt helped sharpen his fathers repairing skills.CIt was more like a toy that kids often played with.DIt made Mom aware that the kids were close by.2、The reason why the writer asked the carpenter to continue to adjust the door is that _.Athe door was not the righ

52、t size for the frameBthe door was poorly made that it didnt suit himChe wanted to see how the door was supposed to shutDhe was determined to seize the ownership of the door3、What does the wooden screen door mean to the writer now?AIt is a reminder of the imperfect things.BIt is a symbol of his memor

53、y of summer.CIt is a contributor to the better life he leads.DIt is an antique worth cherishing in the museum.4、What is the best title for the passage?AThe good old days are goneBNever judge a door by its appearanceCSummer announces itself with a crackDEvery single imperfection adds to beauty25（10分）

54、Imagine a cat that does not need someone to clean up after it keeps an older person company and help them remember to take their medicine. That is the shared dream of the toy maker Hasbro and scientists at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. The researchers received a $3-million-dollar awa

55、rd from the National Science Foundation for a special project. They want to find ways to add artificial intelligence, or AI., to Hasbros “Joy for All” robotic cat.The cat has already been for sale for two years. Though priced over 1000 dollars, it sold quite well. It was meant to act as a “companion

56、” for older people. Now the project is aimed at developing additional abilities for the cat. Researchers at Browns Humanity-Centered Robotics Initiative are working to decide which activities older adults may need the most. They hope to make the cat perform a small number of activities very well. Su

57、ch activities includefinding lost objects and reminding the person to take medicine or visit their doctor. They also want to keep the cost down to just a few hundred dollars.It is an idea that has appealed to Jeanne Elliott. Her 93-year-old mother Mary Derr lives with her in South Kingstown. Derr ha

58、s dementia (痴呆). The Joy for All cat that Elliott bought this year has become a true companion for Derr. The cat stays with Derr and keeps her calm while Eliot is at work. Elliott said a robotic cat that helps her mother to remember to take her medicine and be careful when she walks would be greater

59、.The researchers are trying to learn how the improved cats will complete helpful activities and how they will communicate. They say that they do not want a talking cat, however. Instead they are trying to design a cat that can move its head in a special way to successfully communicate its message. I

60、n the end, they hope to create an exchange between the human and the cat in which the human feels the cat needs them. By doing so, the researchers hope they can even help prevent feelings of loneliness and sadness among elderly people.1、Whats the purpose of the project?ATo relieve the pain of the el
