13、 my dad. He was a mail carrier, and on Saturdays he would ask me to go with him. Driving through the countryside was always fun: There were animals to see, people to visit, and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop, and Dad did.On Dads final day of work, it took him well into the evening to co

14、mplete his rounds because at least one member from each family was waiting at their mailboxes to thank him for his friendship and his years of service. Mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail. One note left in a mailbox read, “Nat, take these eggs to Marian; shes baking a cake and d

15、oesnt have any eggs.” A young girl wrote letters but had no stamps, so she left a few buttons on the envelope in the mailbox; Dad paid for the stamps. One businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for Dad to take to the bank. Once, the amount came to $32,000.A dozen years ago, w

16、hen I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dads death, the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories. I thought I knew them all, but that wasnt the case.As I drove home, I noticed two lamp poles, which supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground. For years c

17、hildren had dropped letters to Santa through those boxes. I made a turn at the corner and drove past the post office and across the railroad tracks to our house.Frank Townsend, Dads postmaster and great friend for many years. So we all sat down at the table and began to tell stories.At one point Fra

It was your dad who answered all those letters

19、 every year.”I just sat there with tears in my eyes. It wasnt hard for me to imagine Dad sitting at the old oak table in our basement reading those letters and answering each one. I have since spoken with several of the people who received Christmas letters during their childhood, and they told me h

20、ow amazed they were that Santa had known so much about their homes and families.For me, just knowing that story about my father was the gift of a lifetime.1It can be inferred from the passage that the writer regarded his travels with Dad as _.Aexciting experiences with a lot of funBhappy occasions t

29、e-in 5,000 or even 50,000 years? We can only make guesses, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average(平均), men are about three inch

30、es(英尺)taller. Again, in the modern world we use brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity(容量).As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical cha

31、nge to the head, especially the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are used very often. In fact, we use them so much that they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that mans eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand? we tend to make le

32、ss use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does n

33、ot serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald(光头的).Perhaps all this shows that future man will not be a very attractive being to look at! This may well be true. No matter how great the change is, future man will still have a lot in common with us.1The pa

34、ssage mainly tells us that _Amans life will be different in the futureBfuture man will look quite different from usCman is growing taller as time passes2Which parts of man mentioned in the passage will change EXCEPTAweight and earsBbrain and heightCarms and legs3The change in the mans size of the fo

In recent years, how

37、ever, some websites have started to take the place of the deaf clubs, with Facebook leading the way. Videos can be watched online for long periods and groups are easy to set up and join.Many deaf people enjoy being able to communicate more easily with their hearing colleagues (同事) , old school frien

38、ds or family members. Deaf comedy actor John Smith says, Before we had social networking sites , many deaf people were separated. Facebook provides a place where we can communicate with more people and drive away some of our frustrations about the barriers( 障碍) we face in everyday life. But it wasnt

39、 perfect because status updates(更新) had to be written in English text. In sign language, meaning is communicated through hands, facial expressions and body language. It has a different grammar and structure. Because of difficulties in learning language without hearing, many sign language users look

40、on English as their second language and often arent fluent in English. For example, in spoken English you might say, The man climbed to the top of the big mountain. But in sign language youd show the mountain first, like this, Mountain , big. Man climbed up it, all the way to the top. Youd show how

41、steep (陡峭的) the mountain was through your signs, and the effort the man took to climb it would be emphasized(强调) by your actions and facial expressions- almost like acting the part of the climber.As time goes on, more and more deaf people prefer using Facebook instead. They will have fewer opportuni

42、ties to meet and sign with each other face-to-face.However, most deaf people think they benefit a lot from websites for deaf people. As Buxton says, Facebook gives deaf people the confidence to come out and say things that they never would have said before because they didnt have the platform(平台) to

43、 say them on. Confidence comes from being able to express your own thoughts in your own language. 1We can know from the first two paragraphs that _ .Asocial websites make deaf people communicate more widelyBFacebook has already taken the place of local clubs completelyCdeaf people cant spend any tim

44、e in watching videos on websitesDFacebook doesnt help deaf people communicate with each other2Deaf people usually have trouble in _ according to Paragraph 3.Ajoining in online groupsBusing body language skillfullyCcommunicating through handsDlearning to write in English text3What can be inferred fro

45、m the passage?AIt will take deaf people less time to update their own computers.BThere will be fewer local clubs for deaf people to meet together.CIt is impossible for deaf people to express their thoughts online.DDeaf people will have no time to use sign language in local clubs.E17、An “egg-laying”

46、cliff （产蛋岩）in Southwest China has attracted（吸引）a lot of interest online recently. The cliff, in Sandu County, Guizhou Province, has many egg-shaped rocks sitting on it.

47、cording to the local government, the cliff is in a place of interest that has been open to public since 2010. It is about 100 meters long and five meters high.

48、t fell down in the past. Most of them are round or egg-shaped with a diameter（直径）of up to 50 centimeters. The green rocks are hard.“In the past, people thought the rocks were symbols of good luck and took them home,” said the local people. The largest rock weighs about 300 kg, with a diameter of 60

49、centimeters. Its called “the king of eggs.” Its said that Guizhou was once a large ocean, and that the rock eggs could have been produced by animals from the ocean.

BThe “eggs” were “bad luck eggs”.CThe cliff lays many eggs every year. DThe cliff was in the ocean in ancient times.F18、Mr. and Mrs. Green lived in a big city. One summer

52、 they went to the country for their holiday. They enjoyed it very much because it was a quiet， clean place.One day they went for a walk early in the morning and met an old man. He lived on a farm， and he was sitting in the warm sun in front of his house. Mr. Green asked him， “Do you like to live in

They often come and visit me， and I often go and visit them. And there are also many children here.” Mr. Green said， “Thats interesting， and what are the bad things?”The old man thought for a moment and then said， “Well， the same things， really.”1Mr. and Mrs. Green went to the country _.Ato see the old manBto spend their holidayCto see the quiet placeDto have a wa
