A new pastor(牧师) named John reopened a church that had been abandoned in a suburb. He found it broken, and in need of a lot of repair work. His goal was to have everything done in time for his first service on Christmas Eve.
He worked hard. However, when John went to the church on Dec. 21, his heart sank: a large area of plaster (石膏) had fallen off the front wall due to a terrible storm the night before. John headed home, and on the way he stopped at a market selling items for charity.
One of the items was an exquisite( 精致的)handmade tablecloth. It was just the right size to cover up the hole in the front wall. He bought it and headed back to the church. It started to snow. An old woman had missed her bus, and he invited her to wait in the warm church for the next one. As John put up the tablecloth the woman asked him to check the corner for the initials(手写字母). They were her initials: she had made this tablecloth 35 years before. Then the war broke out, and forced her to part with her husband.
John wanted to give her the tablecloth. but she asked him to keep it for the church. John insisted on driving her home which he thought was the least he could do.
What a wonderful service he had on Christmas Eve! John noticed one old man staring at the tablecloth on the front wall. The man said it was similar to one that his wife had made many years before.

This could be the perfect gift for the partner, who embarrasses you on the dance floor. Smart socks, which can teach to dance, may be the answer for anyone with two left feet.
The socks have been developed as a running tool to help runners improve their skills. Thanks to the socks, users can accurately record not only how far and fast they run but also how well. It means the user maximizes their performance, and reduces damage to body and prevents hurt. The hi-tech socks are made of special fibers that watch the movements of your feet. They look, feel and can be washed like normal clothes.
Sensors (传感器) record each movement and send it by an ankle transmitter (脚踝发射器) to a smart phone. Then a “virtual coach” application shows the information and can tell the user what they are doing wrong, and help to improve skill in any task with feet.
The socks should be useful to athletes and weekend joggers. “People think running is so easy and of course everybody can do it but not necessarily safely and well,” Dr. Davide Vigano said. A recent study showed that between 60 and 80 percent of runners got hurt per year. This is pretty much more than any other human activity. Researchers say the technology can also be developed to teach people how to dance, play sports such as golf, or even to help to teach women to walk better in high heels.
Mr. Vigano said, “People could all benefit from the idea. We have had interest from all sorts of sports, like skiing, football, cycling and golf. Anything where you have to use your feet can use it. It could even be put in high heels to help women walk in them safely.”
Socks are just the start, and the technology could be used in gloves, hats and boots. The socks, anklet and software package, are expected to be sold for around￡120, which will go on sale in March.
28．What does the underlined part “anyone with two left feet” refer to
A．People who are disabled. B．People who are interested in dancing.
C．People who are not good at dancing. D．People who invented the socks.
29．What’s special about fibers that the socks are made of
A．They feel much softer than normal clothes.
B．They can monitor the movement of feet.
C．They are expensive to produce.
D．They act as a smart phone for users.
30．Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the socks
A．They can improve the skill of running.
B．They can help women walk better in high heels.
C．They can teach people to dance well.
D．They can be worn for days without washing.
31．According to Dr. Vigano, ________.
A．everyone can make good use of the smart socks
B．users can run as fast as they like with the socks
C．60 to 80 percent of runners would like to buy the smart socks
D．no runners will get hurt, thanks to the socks
D
I came home one day recently and, for reasons I don’t quite understand, my living room smelled like my grandmother’s house. Suddenly I felt as if I were 12 years old, happy and relaxed, sitting in her kitchen. I can remember what her house looked like, though it was sold 20 years ago – her three-level plant stand, the plates lining the walls, the window over her sink – but these visual memories don’t have the power that smell does. The funny thing is, I can’t even begin to describe the odor(气味) that was so distinctively hers. The best I can do is this: “It smelled like my grandmother’s house.”
It’s a common experience, and a common linguistic( 语言学的) problem. In cultures worldwide, people have powerful olfactory memories. This odor-memory link is also called “the Proust phenomenon,” after Marcel Proust’s famous description of the feelings aroused by a cake dipped in tea in “Remembrance of Things Past.”
Olfactory memories seem to be more closely bound up with emotions than are visual or auditory ones.
Not all these memories are pleasant, of course, and smells can also trigger feelings of pain.
It is surprisingly hard for English-speakers to describe the odors that occasion such strong emotions, however. English possesses almost no abstract smell words that pick out links or themes among unrelated aromas(芳香).
We have plenty of these in the visual field. “Yellow,” for example, identifies a characteristic that bananas, lemons, some cars, some flowers, old book pages, and the sun all share.
But for odors, we don’t have many more than the vague “musty” (smells old and stale) and “musky” (smells perfumey). We usually have no choice but to say that one thing smells like another – like a banana, like garlic, like diesel fuel.
A few languages, though, do have a rich odor vocabulary. Linguist Asifa Majid has found that the Jahai, the Semaq Beri, and the Maniq, hunter-gatherer groups in Malaysia and Thailand, employ a wide range of abstract smell words and can identify aromas as easily as we can colors. The Jahai have a word, for example, that describes “the seemingly dissimilar smell of petrol, smoke, bat poop, root of wild ginger and wood of wild mango.”
Last year my cat got sprayed by a skunk(臭鼬), and the vet told me to wash its face with coffee to cover the bad smell. Until then, I had never realized that coffee, which I find delicious, smells remarkably like skunk spray, which I do not.
Science has identified the chemicals that both share. They are called mercaptans (硫醇). But in oral English, we have no word for the underlying note that connects these two odors. If the Jahai drank coffee and encountered skunks, I bet they would.
32．The opening paragraph is mainly intended to .
A．express the writer’s affection for his grandmother
B．direct the readers’ attention to a linguistic problem
C．tell us the odor of the grandmother’s house stayed the same
D．prove smell has a greater power than visual memories
33．Which of the following is related to olfactory memories
A．Forming an image in mind after seeing the word “injury”.
B．Feeling sympathetic when seeing a sick cat.
C．Dancing to the music upon hearing it played.
D．Missing fried eggs with garlic cooked by mum.
34．The example of the Jahai suggests that .
A．the Jahai don’t have many words in the visual field
B．English possesses many vague words like “musty” and “musky”
C．the Jahai has more abstract smell words than English
D．skunk and coffee have the same smell, but different functions
35．What can we learn from the passage
A．The author feels pity about the limitation of his language.
B．English has a wide range of visual and odor vocabulary.
C．Olfactory memories can bring nothing but pleasant feelings.
D．Cultures worldwide always collide with each other.

This could be the perfect gift for the partner, who embarrasses you on the dance floor. Smart socks, which can teach to dance, may be the answer for anyone with two left feet.
The socks have been developed as a running tool to help runners improve their skills. Thanks to the socks, users can accurately record not only how far and fast they run but also how well. It means the user maximizes their performance, and reduces damage to body and prevents hurt. The hi-tech socks are made of special fibers that watch the movements of your feet. They look, feel and can be washed like normal clothes.
Sensors (传感器) record each movement and send it by an ankle transmitter (脚踝发射器) to a smart phone. Then a “virtual coach” application shows the information and can tell the user what they are doing wrong, and help to improve skill in any task with feet.
The socks should be useful to athletes and weekend joggers. “People think running is so easy and of course everybody can do it but not necessarily safely and well,” Dr. Davide Vigano said. A recent study showed that between 60 and 80 percent of runners got hurt per year. This is pretty much more than any other human activity. Researchers say the technology can also be developed to teach people how to dance, play sports such as golf, or even to help to teach women to walk better in high heels.
Mr. Vigano said, “People could all benefit from the idea. We have had interest from all sorts of sports, like skiing, football, cycling and golf. Anything where you have to use your feet can use it. It could even be put in high heels to help women walk in them safely.”
Socks are just the start, and the technology could be used in gloves, hats and boots. The socks, anklet and software package, are expected to be sold for around￡120, which will go on sale in March.
28．What does the underlined part “anyone with two left feet” refer to
A．People who are disabled. B．People who are interested in dancing.
C．People who are not good at dancing. D．People who invented the socks.
29．What’s special about fibers that the socks are made of
A．They feel much softer than normal clothes.
B．They can monitor the movement of feet.
C．They are expensive to produce.
D．They act as a smart phone for users.
30．Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the socks
A．They can improve the skill of running.
B．They can help women walk better in high heels.
C．They can teach people to dance well.
D．They can be worn for days without washing.
31．According to Dr. Vigano, ________.
A．everyone can make good use of the smart socks
B．users can run as fast as they like with the socks
C．60 to 80 percent of runners would like to buy the smart socks
D．no runners will get hurt, thanks to the socks
【答案】28-31 CBDA
D
I came home one day recently and, for reasons I don’t quite understand, my living room smelled like my grandmother’s house. Suddenly I felt as if I were 12 years old, happy and relaxed, sitting in her kitchen. I can remember what her house looked like, though it was sold 20 years ago – her three-level plant stand, the plates lining the walls, the window over her sink – but these visual memories don’t have the power that smell does. The funny thing is, I can’t even begin to describe the odor(气味) that was so distinctively hers. The best I can do is this: “It smelled like my grandmother’s house.”
It’s a common experience, and a common linguistic( 语言学的) problem. In cultures worldwide, people have powerful olfactory memories. This odor-memory link is also called “the Proust phenomenon,” after Marcel Proust’s famous description of the feelings aroused by a cake dipped in tea in “Remembrance of Things Past.”
Olfactory memories seem to be more closely bound up with emotions than are visual or auditory ones.
Not all these memories are pleasant, of course, and smells can also trigger feelings of pain.
It is surprisingly hard for English-speakers to describe the odors that occasion such strong emotions, however. English possesses almost no abstract smell words that pick out links or themes among unrelated aromas(芳香).
We have plenty of these in the visual field. “Yellow,” for example, identifies a characteristic that bananas, lemons, some cars, some flowers, old book pages, and the sun all share.
But for odors, we don’t have many more than the vague “musty” (smells old and stale) and “musky” (smells perfumey). We usually have no choice but to say that one thing smells like another – like a banana, like garlic, like diesel fuel.
A few languages, though, do have a rich odor vocabulary. Linguist Asifa Majid has found that the Jahai, the Semaq Beri, and the Maniq, hunter-gatherer groups in Malaysia and Thailand, employ a wide range of abstract smell words and can identify aromas as easily as we can colors. The Jahai have a word, for example, that describes “the seemingly dissimilar smell of petrol, smoke, bat poop, root of wild ginger and wood of wild mango.”
Last year my cat got sprayed by a skunk(臭鼬), and the vet told me to wash its face with coffee to cover the bad smell. Until then, I had never realized that coffee, which I find delicious, smells remarkably like skunk spray, which I do not.
Science has identified the chemicals that both share. They are called mercaptans (硫醇). But in oral English, we have no word for the underlying note that connects these two odors. If the Jahai drank coffee and encountered skunks, I bet they would.
32．The opening paragraph is mainly intended to .
A．express the writer’s affection for his grandmother
B．direct the readers’ attention to a linguistic problem
C．tell us the odor of the grandmother’s house stayed the same
D．prove smell has a greater power than visual memories
33．Which of the following is related to olfactory memories
A．Forming an image in mind after seeing the word “injury”.
B．Feeling sympathetic when seeing a sick cat.
C．Dancing to the music upon hearing it played.
D．Missing fried eggs with garlic cooked by mum.
34．The example of the Jahai suggests that .
A．the Jahai don’t have many words in the visual field
B．English possesses many vague words like “musty” and “musky”
C．the Jahai has more abstract smell words than English
D．skunk and coffee have the same smell, but different functions
35．What can we learn from the passage
A．The author feels pity about the limitation of his language.
B．English has a wide range of visual and odor vocabulary.
C．Olfactory memories can bring nothing but pleasant feelings.
D．Cultures worldwide always collide with each other.

【参考范文】
Nowadays, many middle school students can’t wash clothes for themselves. On the one hand, they are very lazy, and unwilling to learn how to wash clothes. On the other hand, their parents don’t let them learn how to wash clothes, because they want them to spend all their time on their study.
In my opinion, this kind of phenomenon isn’t normal. Besides learning subjects, children should also learn to do some housework, such as washing clothes, cleaning rooms, and so on. If not, they can’t live on their own after they begin to work.
So parents and children should realize that doing some housework is necessary and helpful. Besides, children should fight against their laziness and offer to do some housework.
