In the fall of 1985, I was holding a dream to Howard University, so that one day I could sit on a Supreme Court bench somewhere and make some just sentence.
Twenty-one years later, I am still a dreamer and be with quite a different experience to go through.
My grandma developed cancer, so I made the choice to leave the college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.
Then I got married with another dream. In 1999, we adopted (收养）our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3.In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.
You can imagine how busy I became, raising four boys under the age of 8 .Our home was a complete zoo---a joyous zoo. As a result, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant talking as few as one class each term.
The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.
In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree and finally become a judge!
I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you're looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you're in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won't arrive in your life on one day. It's a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.
24．When the author went to Howard University, what was her dream
A．To be a writer. B．To be a teacher.
C．To be a judge. D．To be a doctor.
25．Why did the author quit school（离校） in her second year of college
A．She wanted to study by herself. B．She fell in love and got married.
C．She suffered from a serious illness. D．She decided to look after her grandma.
26．What can we learn from paragraphs 4 and 5
A．The author was busy yet happy with her family life.
B．The author just felt guilty for her sons.
C．The author wanted to remain a full-time housewife.
D．The author was too confused to make a correct choice.
27．What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph
A．Failure is the mother of success. B．Little by little, one goes far.
C．Every coin has two sides. D．Well begun, half done.
C
Tell your car to make a phone call without holding the phone. Tell your car to send an e -mail without touching the computer or even tell your car to send a call for help. Sound like some-thing from a science fiction movie. Well, thanks to a new “ talking car”, this is soon to become reality.
Road Track, the Israeli producer of Chevrolet, has built a computer platform called Chevy Star. It offers the driver a wide range of things you can get with your voice.
It uses a box the size of a mobile phone attached to the rear-view mirror. The driver can use it to be in touch with Road Track’s Offices. Many operators work round the clock so as to answer the phone and the needs of drivers.
To get into the car, the driver has to say a secret code, such as “Open Sesame”, for the doors to open and the engine to start. Upon entering the car, the driver has three buttons: one for emergencies, another for telephone calls and a third for practical information.
When the driver presses the emergency button, the operator calls the car to ask if there is a problem. If the driver is lost, the operator can use a map to help the driver find his or her way.
“It depends 100 percent on the voice, so you don’t need to take your eyes of the road or hands off the wheel to use it. You just speak to the operator and then it will give you instructions, ”said Danny Laguna of Chevrolet.
The operator also alerted when the driver hits your brake too hard. And if operators find a problem anywhere on the car, they warn the driver straight away. Need to make a phone call Just press the button and read out the number to dial. E-mail can also be dictated. The driver also has many practical things to choose from; the weather, the latest world or local news, what’s on a the cinema or theatre.
28．What is mainly described in the passage
A．What cars will be like in the future. B．What producers will do in the future.
C．How to make discoveries. D．How to drive cars.
29．In which case should the driver press the button for emergencies
A．You want to find a detailed map. B．You want to know the local news.
C．You get lost on your way. D．You want to send an e-mail.
30．How does the “talking car” work
A．Drivers have to stop the cars. B．Drivers have to connect with the operators.
C．Drivers have to carry a mobile phone. D．Drivers must have a computer.
31．What’s the best title for the passage
A．Cars with a computer B．Telephones in the future
C．Computers in the car D．Cars in the future
D
From video games and museums to medical training, virtual reality (VR) has been changing our lives for the better. However, this amazing new technology has a so-far unsolvable shortcoming: motion sickness. “With modern VR systems, the possibility of motion sickness after only 15 minutes is anywhere from 40 to 70 percent.” Thomas Stoffregen, a researcher told ABC News. Indeed, some VR applications have a user-sickness rate of nearly 100 percent!
When caused by VR, this sickness is called cybersickness. It’s probably caused by sensory conflict, explains Stoffregen. When you are wearing a VR device, your body’s motion sensors cannot match the information received by your eyes. For example, when we wear a VR headset and ride a virtual roller-coaster, we think we are going up and down, but our bodies stay still. It leads to confusion of balance and spatial orientation. Sickness is our bodies’ natural response to this confusion. Adding to this problem, Stoffregen says, “Women are more likely to feel sick from the VR experience than men.”
According to a study by Bas Rokers, a scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, US, one reason could be the headsets. To work properly, VR headsets must match up with your pupil distance. Since they are designed larger than the average PD, not everyone gets the best experience.
Rokers found that when the headset PD is too large, users experience greater discomfort. Based on his studies, about 90 percent of women have a shorter PD than the headset is designed for. In comparison, only 5 percent of men had this problem. ABC News says that cybersickness presents a “serious barrier” to widespread use of VR technologies. However, people believe it will become comfortable and easy to use and that it can play a great role in our lives.
32．What do we know about cybersickness
A．It’s a sickness caused by VR applications. B．It has a higher incidence among young people.
C．It is caused by one’s poor sense of direction. D．It immediately happens when VR device is used.
33．Why are women more likely to have a bad VR experience
A．They have a poor sense of balance. B．VR headsets are too large for their PDs.
C．It’s difficult for them to set the VR headset. D．They can feel discomfort more easily.
34．What do people think of the future of VR technologies
A．Doubtful. B．Uncertain. C．Hopeful. D．Worrying.
35．What’s the best title for the passage
A．The Reality of Cybersickness B．New Treatments for Cybersickness
C．Getting to Know Virtual Reality D．Saying No to Virtual Reality

Someone who develops the belief that he’s a failure, for example, will view each mistake as proof that he’s not good enough. ____39____ Consider for a minuet that it might not be your lack of talent or skills that are holding you back. Instead, it might be your beliefs that keep you from performing at your peak.

Prissy Baker was in Oscar Miller’s store on New Year’s morning, buying matches when her uncle, Richard Baker, came in. He did not look at Prissy, nor did she wish him a happy New Year. She would not have dared. He was actually a big, strong-looking man an uncle to be proud of, Prissy thought, if only he were like what he used to be himself. He was the only uncle Prissy had, and when she was a little girl they had been great friends. She used to break into Uncle Richard’s house to play tricks on him, for the woodshed door was always unfastened. But that was before the quarrel.
Uncle Richard had not been speaking with Prissy or her father since the two brothers’ quarrel eight years ago. The fault had been mainly on Richard’s side, but he was unwilling to admit it.
Richard Baker informed Mr. Miller he was on his way to Navarre to deliver a load of pork. “New Year’s Day would be pretty much the same as any other day to you,” said Mr. Miller, for Richard Baker was a bachelor (单身汉).
“Well, I always like a good dinner on New Year’s Day,” said Richard Baker. “It’s about the only way I can celebrate. I got everything ready last night but I have to send the pork now. I won’t get back from Navarre before one o’clock, so I guess I’ll have to put up with a cold bite.”
After her uncle had driven away, Prissy walked thoughtfully home. She had planned to spend a nice, lazy holiday with the new book her father had given her at Christmas and a box of candy. She did not mean to cook a dinner, for her father had to meet a friend and would be gone the whole day. There was nobody else to cook dinner for. Prissy’s mother had died when Prissy was a baby. so Prissy became her father’s housekeeper.
But as she walked home, she could not help thinking about Uncle Richard. He would certainly have cold New Year, cold enough to freeze the whole coming year. She felt sorry for him, picturing him returning from Navarre, cold and hungry, to find a fireless house and an uncooked dinner.
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Suddenly an idea came into Prissy’s head.

66．Last month, the Students’ Union of our school organized an English recitation competition at the lecture hall to encourage us students to appreciate traditional English culture.
Representatives of each class actively participated in the competition. They were required to prepare an English classic to recite within 5 minutes. Many classical works were recited, among which poems were the most popular choice. Both pronunciation and performance were evaluated. The top 10 competitors were awarded at the end of the competition.
The competition offered a wonderful opportunity for students to have a better understanding of English classics, evoking our love for English culture.
67．Suddenly an idea came into Prissy’s head. Why not go to uncle’s and prepare a delicious dinner for him Without any hesitation, Prissy ran to Richard’s home as fast as possible. On her arrival, she slid into the house with her heart pounding strongly. She took out the frozen food from the fridge and mixed the ingredients together. She made some bread, which smelled good. She cooked the best food she ever cooked; the food looked particularly inviting. It must be her uncle’s favorite food. Prissy thought to herself, wishing that her uncle would like it.
Prissy had just set the table when an angry voice cut through the peace. It was Uncle Richard that yelled. “How dare you...” However, hardly had Richard stopped his yelling with fury when he saw the bright room. Into his sight came the tidy and clean table and a feast for dinner. “My dad would be gone the whole day. So...” she added with a sincere voice. “I’m so sorry for the quarrel between us. But could we eat together to celebrate the New Year just like 8 years ago ” Tears welling up with guilt and sorrow, Uncle stepped toward her, stroked her head and gathered her into his tender embrace. The family was rebuilt, and Richard finally admitted his fault and got relieved by Prissy’s concern and devotion.
