【题干】A world-famous Canadian author, Margaret Atwood, has created the world’s first long-distance signing device(装置), the LongPen.
After many tiring book-signing tours from city to city, Atwood thought there must be a better way to do them.She hired some technical experts and started her own company in 2004.Together they designed the LongPen.Here’s how it works: The author writes a personal message and signature on a computer tablet(手写板)using a special pen.On the receiving end, in another city, a robotic arm fitted with a regular pen signs the book.The author and fan can talk with each other via webcams(网络摄机)and computer screens.
Work on the LongPen began in Atwood’s basement(地下室).At first, they had no idea it would be as hard as it turned out to be.The device went through several versions, including one that actually had smoke coming out of it.The inventing finally completed, test runs were made in Ottawa, and the LongPen was officially launched at the 2006 London Book Fair.From here, Atwood conducted two transatlantic book signings of her latest book for fans in Toronto and New York City.
The LongPen produces a unique signature each time because it copies the movement of the author in real time.It has several other potential applications.It could increase credit card security and allow people to sign contracts from another province.The video exchange between signer and receiver can be recorded on DVD for proof when legal documents are used.
"It’s really fun, " said the owner of a bookstore, who was present for one of the test runs."Obviously you can’t shake hands with the author, but there are chances for a connection that you don’t get from a regular book signing."
The response to the invention hasn’t been all favorable.Atwood has received criticism from authors who think she’s trying to end book tours.But she said, " It will be possible to go to places that you never got sent to before because the publishers couldn’t afford it."
1.Why did Atwood decide to invent the LongPen
A.To set up her own company.
B.To win herself greater popularity.
C.To write her books in a new way.
D.To make book signings less tiring.
2.How does the LongPen work
A.It copies the author’s signature and prints it on a book.
B.It signs a book while receiving the author’s signature.
C.The webcam sends the author’s signature to another city.
D.The fan uses it to copy the author’s signature himself.
3.What do we know about the invention of the LongPen
A.It has been completed but not put into use.
B.The basement caught fire by accident.
C.Some versions failed before its test run.
D.The designers were well-prepared for the difficulty.
4.How could the LongPen be used in the future
A.To draft legal documents.
B.To improve credit card security.
C.To keep a record of the author’s ideas.
D.To allow author and fan to exchange videos.
5.What could be inferred from Paragraphs 5 and 6
A.Atwood doesn’t mean to end book tours.
B.Critics think the LongPen is of little use.
C.Bookstore owners don’t support the LongPen.
D.Publishers dislike the LongPen for its high cost.

Father(Dick Hoyt)and son(Rick Hoyt)have taken part in many competitions including marathons.But what makes them really different from others is that Rick was disabled at birth.He does not swim, cycle or run.
When Rick came to the world in 1962, doctors told his parents that they had no hope for him.But Dick and his wife did not give up.They brought Rick back home and determined to raise him as normally as possible.
In 1975, Rick was admitted into a public school.Two years later, he was taken by his father to participate in a fund-raising(筹集资金)5-mile run.Dick pushed Rick in a wheelchair to finish the race.They finished second to last, but Rick was so happy that he told his father he did not feel handicapped when they were in the competition.This run was the first time "Team Hoyt" competing.During this journey, almost everyone looked down at Rick.No one talked to them or ran beside them.But, the father and the son kept going strong.After 4 years of marathons, "Team Hoyt" went for their first triathlon(三项全能).Dick did not know how to swim before this, so he put a lot of efforts into picking up the skill.He worked out up t0 5 hours a day, 5 times a week, even when he had to work.He wanted to set a good role model for Rick—once you set out to do something, stick to it for whatever it takes.
In 2012, Dick Hoyt and Rick Hoyt were going to be 70 and 50 years old.After so many years, "Team Hoyt" managed to raise public awareness toward the disabled.Dick said, "Those doctors who asked us to give up are not alive any more, but I would like them to be able to see Rick now."

The concept of green roofs is basically about growing plants on roofs, thus helping to replace the green footprint that had been destroyed due to the construction of the buildings.Green roofs are the most widespread in Germany, which is widely regarded as the leader in green roof research.
The green roofs that are used these days can be classified as "extensive" and "intensive" systems.Extensive green roofs use mosses, grasses and herbs, which are tolerant to droughts.These plants do not need much maintenance, can be grown in a layer of substratum(底土层)that can be as shallow as 1.5 inches, and generally are inaccessible to the public.In contrast, a wide range of species of plants are grown on intensive green roofs, such as shrubs and even trees, which require deeper substratum layers, and are usually grown on fiat roofs.They need intensive maintenance, and are usually areas that resemble parks which are accessible to people.
There are several benefits of adopting green roof technologies.Apart, from the obvious psychological and aesthetic benefits of garden-like environments surrounding you, some of the common economic and ecological benefits are: a reduction in making use of energy; air and water purification; recovering green spaces; and the lessening of the heat island effect in urban areas.
The green roof research that is currently ongoing is focused on evaluating the species of plants that are suitable to be grown on roofs, the method of establishment, nutrient and water requirement, substrata, and the quantity and quality of water run-off.The evaluation criteria of plant species are: at what rate they can be established; their ability to survive invasive weeds ; tolerance of cold and heat; tolerance of drought conditions; ability of survival.
Green roof technology is representative of a completely new market for landscape contractors (承包人), and all roofs that currently exist and the future ones to be constructed are the potential market-a market that is too huge to be ignored.
5.Why do people think of the idea of green roofs
A.To save more space.
B.To recover green spaces.
C.To avoid being stepped on.
D.To simplify the maintenance.
6.We can infer that____________.
A.bushes and trees are less tolerant to droughts
B.bushes and trees do not need much maintenance
C.you can’t find mosses, grasses or herbs on flat roofs
D.people can get close to mosses, grasses and herbs on roofs
7.We can learn from the passage that green roof technologies can__________.
A.produce water B.bring more rain
C.help save energy D.cause traffic jams
8.Who are most probably interested in this research besides the researchers
A.House owners.
B.Government officials.
C.Business people.
D.Construction workers.
【答案】5.B 6.A 7.C 8.C
【解析】◎语篇解读随着建筑的建造对原本美好的绿色空间的日益破坏.绿色房顶概念应运而生。在屋顶种植绿色植物可以恢复绿色空间、净化空气和水、节省能源等, 好处不胜枚举。
5.细节理解题。根据第一段第一句后半部分中的内容可知绿色屋顶的创意是为了恢复绿色空间。
6.推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知苔藓、草以及草本植物可以忍受干旱, 而灌木和树木与它们不同, 需要保养, 由此可推测灌木和树木忍受干旱的能力不太强。
7.细节理解题。根据第三段中间部分的“…a reduction in making use of energy...”可知绿色房顶技术可以帮助节省能源。
8.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的内容可推知对研究最感兴趣的人除了研究人员之外还有“商人”。
【题干】 C
You may not have heard of Ashoka, but for the past 27 years, this association, founded by Bill Drayton, has fought poverty(贫困)and sickness, promoted education and encouraged small businesses.To support these worthy causes, Ashoka provides money for the world’s most promising "changemakers" seeking to solve (解决)urgent problems and would like to create a world in which every citizen is a changemaker.
Drayton believes that anyone can become an agent for change.The important thing is to simply give yourself permission.lf you see a problem that you care about, you can help solve it.The young in particular are willing to accept this concept because at heart every child wants to grow into a happy, healthy, contributing adult.In fact, it is many young people’s ambition to set up programmes or businesses that improve social conditions.An excellent example is an Ashoka project started in 1995 in Dhaka, which handled the rubbish problem facing the city, helped local farmers and provided an income for poor people there.
When Masqsood and Iftekhar began to study the problem of all the uncollected rubbish that lay in Dhaka’s streets, attracting rats and disease, they discovered that 80% of it was natural waste.So they educated the poor people in the city to compost (把……制成堆肥)this waste.They knew that they would have a market for the end product because local farmers were struggling with chemical fertilisers(化肥)which were expensive and had reduced the natural minerals in the soil over the years.At first, they were refused, but once they were able to persuade them that there was money to be made, the project took off.In 2009 sales were $14, 000.
Drayton is optinustic that in ten years Ashoka will be making really serious, practical progress in bringing about social change by changing the way we look at economic development.

【题干】 D
BEUING-China’s education authority will tighten the widely criticized policy of " extra credits" for the national college entrance examination to ensure a fairer chance for all exam-takers.
Under the policy, high school students who win awards in national Olympic competitions could get " extra credits" , up to 20 points for the national.college entrance examination.Students with talent in sports and students who are from ethnic groups can also benefit from this policy.The extra credits have increased these students’ chances of being admitted by famous universities.Some parents were found to have helped their children fabricate (捏造)award experiences or falsify qualifications to get extra credits.
"It has harmed education equality, " the ministry said.
Xiong Bingqi, vice-chief of 21st Century Education Research Institute, said the policy is designed to help students who have special talent but may be weak in academic performance to have a chance to receive higher education and it will still be needed but it is time to make the rules fairer.
The ministry said it will reduce the range of competitions whose winners can get extra credits, and limit the winners’ privileges(特权).
The new policy will apply to students who begin high school in 2011 , he said.
Chen Lei, mother of a 10-year old girl, said she welcomed the ministry’s policy adjustment as she did not want her daughter to become an Olympic competition geek.
But not all the Chinese parents welcomed the new policy."It is like a thunderbolt for me.My 13-year-old son has spent so much time studying Olympic math, and participated in so many technological competitions during vacations.It is useless now, " said Dong Wen, a 43-year-old mother.
A student said, " Many students have changed the current study plan, and they can abandon the competition.I will be interested in learning the courses which can improve my abilities."
Yuan Guiren, Minister of Education, told China Daily that the reform is an attempt to consider the overall quality of an applicant."But the country will not stop the national college entrance examination as it is still the most objective way to evaluate talent in China, " he said.
13.We can learn from the passage that__________.
A.high school students with talent in sports are weak in academic performance
B.students who win awards in Olympic competitions can’t get extra credits in 2011
C.the number of competitions whose winners can be awarded extra credits will be smaller
D.the extra credits have reduced students’ chances of being admitted by famous colleges
14.What does the underlined word "geek" probably mean
A.a winner B.a smart learner
C.a competitor D.a dull student
15.Which person in the passage was against the new policy
A.Xiong Bingqi B.Chen Lei
C.Dong Wen D.Yuan Guiren
【答案】13.C 14.D 15.C
【解析】◎语篇解读本文主要介绍了教育部将对高考加分政策进行调整度一些人对这一政策的看法。
13.细节理解题。从第五段可知, 教育部将减少高考可以加分的竞赛种类, 由此可知能为胜出者在高考中加分的竞赛将会减少。
14.词义猜测题。从文章倒数第四段冉结合选项町知, 这位母亲支持教育部的政策调整, 因为她不愿意女儿因为奥赛而成为“书果子”, 由此可知geek的词义和a dull student相近, 故答案选D项。
15.细节理解题。从倒数第三段可知, Dong Wen反对新政策, 所以答案选C项。
