I've loved my mother' ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. "But the desk," she'd said again, "is for Elizabeth. "
I never saw her anger, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was too emotional ". But she lived "on the surface".
As years passed, I had my own family, I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.
My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest, finally, peace. It seemed that nothing happened.
I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told me, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside-a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times.
Give me the answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
29、The writer began to love her mother's desk _____
A. after Mother died B. before she became a writer
C. when she was a child D. when Mother gave it to her
30、The word "gulf" in the passage means _____
A. deep understanding between the old and the young
B. different id ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eas between the mother and the daughter
C. free talks between mother and daughter
D. part of the sea going far in land
31、What did Mother do ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )with her daughter's letter asking for forgiveness
A. She had never received the letter.
B. For years, she ofte ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n talked about the letter.
C. She didn't forgive her daughter at all in all her life.
D. She read the letter again and again till she died.
32. What's the best title of the passage
A. My Letter to Mother B. Mother and Children

Tony : My ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) most embarrassing experience happened when I had just left university. I had just started teaching in a Liverpool secondary school. One morning my alarm clock didn't ring. I woke up at half past eight and school began at nine. I quickly washed, dressed, jumped into my car and rushed to school. When I arrived, the students had already gone into class. I didn't go to the office, but went straight into class. After two or three minutes the students began laughing, and I couldn't understand why! Suddenly I looked down and understood. I had put on one black shoe and one brown shoe !

I started looking at some watches in the next window. After a minute or two I reached for my wife's hand. There was a loud scream, and a woman slapped my face. I hadn't taken my wife's hand. I'd taken the hand of a complete stranger !
James:My ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) wife and I had decided to buy a new house, and I'd made an appointment to see our bank manager. I'd never met him before. I went into town in my car and I was lucky enough to find a parking space outside the bank. I'd just started reversing (倒车) into the space when another car made its way into it. I was irritated! I opened my window and shouted at the man in the car. He ignored me and walked away. It took me twenty minutes to find another place. As soon as I had parked the car,I rushed back to the bank. I was ten minutes late for my appointment. I went to the manager's office,knocked and walked in. The manager was sitting behind his desk. He was the man who had taken my parking space!

For a long time, huma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ns have used technology (科技) to study the world around us, and Mars is the latest place we’re using machines to explore. Besides the earth, the “red planet” is seen, as the one place in our solar system most likely to have life.
Early last m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )onth, the first American robot, Spirit, landed on Mars without any problem. Opportunity, the second robot, landed on the planet more than a week ago. Scientists are very excited about these machines’ safe landing on Mars. It means that now we have an excellent chance to look for water and other signs of life. So far, the robots have found some stones that could show Mars was once a wet and warm planet.
But the trips made ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) by Spirit and Opportunity were dangerous. Mars is often called the “death planet”, because in the past its environment has been unfriendly to the robot explorers. Before Spirit and Opportunity, nearly forty spaceships had been sent to Mars since the 1960s. Two-thirds of them failed. The first spaceship, Korabl, sent in 1962 by Russia was among them. It broke apart (分裂) near the earth.
28. For a long time humans think ________.
A. they can ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) surely find life on Mars B. there may be life on Mars
C. it’s too late ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) for them to explore Mars now D. Mars is the only planet that has life on it

Many people begin t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o use pencils from an early age. There are many kinds of pencils：some have erasers on top; some are colorful. You may have used many kinds of them for many years, but do you know the history of pencils
Many years ago, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )people in Egypt used lead(铅)to write. Now, pencils are made from graphite(石墨)instead of lead. In 1564, people found that graphite could leave black marks. In the beginning, the people used it to make marks on their sheep. Later they used the graphite to write. They thought it was lead. Graphite left a blacker mark than lead, but it was not strong enough so it needed something to hold it.
In 1565，Conrad Ges ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ner first put graphite into something to hold it. Later, in the 1600s, German people mixed graphite with some other things and used them for writing. Later, France couldn't get pencils from both the English and the Germans, so Nicholas Jacques Conte began to make pencils. In France, there was little graphite, so he mixed graphite with clay(粘土).
In 1812，William ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Munroe made the fist American wood pencils. Later, a man put a small eraser on top of a pencil. A new kind of pencil was born.

We started playing a game I called “dogs”, rolling on the floor like pups (小狗). Then I looked up and saw my mother watching us. She was crying.
“He’s blind,” she said. “The doctor told me today.”
I looked at Jo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e. He was laughing. “He can’t be blind,” I said. “he smiles at my face.”
“He smiles at yo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ur voice,” she said. “He’ll never see your face.”
That was that. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Joe was blind. Mama went back to cooking. I went back to playing a dog. From the age of 8, Joe boarded at a school for the deaf and the blind, learning to read Braille(文盲). When he was 16, the school said he’d learned enough and sent him home with a Braille typewriter.

Then he met ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the love of his life. She, too, was blind. When Joe called to tell me, he said: “Even a blind man can fall in love at first sight.”

When US student ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Olivia Priedeman, 17, woke up one morning, she thought she had had a dream about making plan with a friend.
But it wasn’t a dr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eam. Her phone showed that during the night, Prideman had read a text message from her friend.
She did it while she was fast asleep.
Reading and sendi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng text messages while asleep—called “sleep texting”—is an unusual sleep behaviour, similar to sleepwalking. It’s also a growing concern(关心的事) among doctors: young people can’t live without their cell phones.
Research shows o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ne in three teenagers sends more than 100 text messages a day. And at least four out of five teenagers said they sleep with their phone on or near their bed.
Elizabeth Dowdell, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a professor at Villanova University in Pennsylvania, has studied sleeping texting. She said that having a phone nearby all night is a big part of the problem.
Andrew Stiehm, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a sleep medicine expert with Allina Health in Minnesota, explains how sleep texting happens this way. It’s possible for the part of the brain that controls motor skills (动作技能) to wake up, while the part of the brain that controls memory and judgment(判断) may be still asleep. That’s why some people can perform basic movements ---such as walking, talking, texting or even driving—while they’re sleeping.
Some of Dowdell’ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s students said that they’re troubled by their nighttime texting behavior. But because sleep texting is unconscious(无意识的), it’s a difficult habit to break. Dowdell said she knows of some students who wear socks on their hands to keep themselves from texting.
Marjorie Hogan, a doct ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )or at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, suggests keeping all electronic devices(电子设备) outside the bedroom at certain times.
42. What happened to Olivia Priedeman
A. She sleepwalked to a friend’s house.
B. She dreamed of making plans with a friend.
C. She phoned one of her friends during the night.
D. She read a text message from her friend while asleep.
43. How does sleep texting happen
A. Some parts of the body are out of control during sleep.
B. The brain part in control of motor skills wakes up during sleep.
C. The brain part in control of judgment stays awake during sleep.
D. The brain part ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) in control of memory becomes unconscious during sleep.
44. What does doctor Hogan suggest people who sleep text do
A. Stop texting duri ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng the daytime.
B. Take some medicine to control the behavior.
C. Keep their phones out of their bedrooms while they sleep.
D. Wear socks on their hands to stop themselves from texting.
45. Which of the following statements about sleep texting is TRUE
A. Sleep texting can reduce the quality of one’s sleep.
B. It’s easy to give up a sleep texting habit.
C. Sleep texting does more harm to one’s health than sleepwalking.
D. One in three teenagers has a sleep texting habit.

（根据《学生双语报》九年级第16期第二题改编）
We thought we were bad ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) when it came to the internet - but it turns out teens are far worse!
Between checking up on their latest electronic products and constantly chatting to their friends online, an alarming four in ten teens admitted they thought they were unable to stopping using the Internet. Two-thirds of the 2,000 students surveyed confessed they took their tablet, smart phone or laptop to bed. And some went so far as to say they even preferred the company of electronic products to real life people.
Girls seemed to be more affected, spending their time chatting with friends on social networks while boys are more attracted by computer games.
The study, by charity Tablets for Students, questioned youngsters from 11 to 17 and found the most common online activities were socializing and networking, media and gaming.
One 11-year-old girl said: "I can never get off it, and at night I stay up for two to three hours after I'm meant to sleep." Another year 10 student added: "It's the first thing I look at in the morning and the last thing at night."
The result of the survey inspired Tablets for Students to launch a charter containing five top tips on how to deal with teens' need connected to the Internet. This included stopping your teen from taking their phones to bed and buying them an alarm clock so they didn't have to rely on their phone.
Experts have expressed concerns that the teens were leaving themselves weak to cyber bullying(网络暴力) and they may have a point. We have seen a rapid increase in the number of children contacting them about online bullying, leaping from 2,410 in 2011/12 to 4,507 in 2012/13.
So next time your teen wants to check in with their favorite electronic product before bed, consider telling them to leave it till morning and just letting them have a good dream instead!
26. According to the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) survey in Paragraph1, some students ____________.
A. prefer to do online activities in bed
B. aren’t willing to meet people in real life
C. are only interested in computer games
D. like to chat with friends on social networks
27. Reading Paragraph 2, we can that ___________________.
A. Girls like computer games more.
B. Girls spend more time chatting online.
C. Boys love social networks more.
D. Neither boys nor girls are affected by online activities.
28. What should parents do with their teenagers’ online addiction
A. Ask them to go to bed early.
B. Keep them connected with parents.
C. Chat with them on social networks.
D. Use an alarm clock to wake them up.
29．In Paragraph4, the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )writer quoted a girl’s and a boy’s words to __________.
A. show what boys and girls think of using the Internet
B. prove that tee ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nagers’ online addiction is really serious by giving these two examples

“Get up, Jim! ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )” my mother shouted. I opened my eyes and looked at the clock. “Oh, dear! It’s a quarter to eight already. I’ll be late for school again,” I thought. I jumped out of the bed, washed my face, then hurried to the bus stop. As soon as I got on the bus, it started running. “Maybe I can get to school on time,” I said to myself.
Suddenly t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he bus stopped. The bus driver got off the bus, then got on the bus again and said, “I’m sorry. There’s something wrong with the bus. Please get off the bus and wait for another one.”
“I can’t wait. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )The school is not far. I can run to school,” I thought, and then I began to run. But before I got to school, it began to rain hard.
I reached the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )classroom but I was all wet. The physics teacher had already begun his lesson. It was Mr. Smith. All the students were a little afraid of him and so was I. I liked neither him nor his physics lessons. I thought for a moment and then I opened the door. “I’m very sorry, Mr. Smith. I’m late again,” I said.
“It’s you again, J ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )im,” Mr. Smith said angrily. “I’ve told you not to be late, but you…” he suddenly stopped and looked at my wet clothes. He quickly took off his own jacket and handed it to me. “Now take off your wet coat and put on this one, or you’ll catch a cold,” he said kindly.
I went to my s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eat. Mr. Smith’s jacket was a bit large for me but I felt very warm in it. I found, for the first time, physics was so interesting and how well I could understand it!

Keep It Down! Y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ou have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can’t hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. No one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears, so even if you are alone when listening to your MP3 player, you shouldn’t have it turned up too high.
Take Them Off! ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) You need to know when to turn your MP3 player off and put it away. Libraries and schools don’t allow MP3 players.

Take One Out! Once ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) in a while it’s OK just to take out one earphone and not the other. Imagine you are listening on your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it’s not for you.
It’s Your Choi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ce! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 players when reading books, while others think it is disturbing(干扰的). In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.
76. According to Pa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ragraph 2, some people get angry because __________.

About ten men in every ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!
There are different ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades (色调) of green －a strange world indeed.
Color blindn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ess in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.
Some insects have f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )avorite colors. Mosquitoes (蚊子) prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.
Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women
Women are more careful.
There are fewer color-blind women.
Women are luckier than men
D. None of them has trouble in recognizing (识别) colors.
Which of the statements about color-blind is true
Quite a few of them see everything in shades of green.
None of them can see deep red.
Not all of them have the same problem
None of them can tell the difference between blue and green
23. According to the passage, with the help of “cones”, we can______.
A. tell different shapes B. see in a weak light
C. kill mosquitoes D. tell orange from yellow
24. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. color blindness B. The invisible colors around us
C. Danger caused by color blindness D. color and its surprising effects.
We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a ______
A. red light B. yellow light C.C. blue light D. Green light

When I was ten ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) my dad helped me buy my first ten-speed bicycle from Allen. I put up $60 of my grass cutting and snow shoveling (铲) money and my dad put up the other half I would pay him back over the next six months. Although it was not in the latest style, it was my ticket to the adult (成人的) world.
I spent that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) summer and autumn riding happily. My sister Liz, a prisoner (囚犯) of her five-speed bicycle, never had a chance to catch up. Just before the Christmas, which was also the time to pay my dad back, we were hit with several snowstorms. This allowed me to shovel enough driveways to pay off my debt (债). I was now a real bike owner; it was a feeling unlike any other.
On that Chri ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )stmas morning, my dad gave me a used portable record player. I was excited. However, my joy was short-lived after my dad called my sister to the kitchen. “I have one more gift for you.”He said as he opened the door that led to the garage. There, stood a new ten-speed bicycle.
“It’s not fait,” I com ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )plained. “I worked so hard for my bike, and it’s not eve new. Then Liz gets a new bike. She didn’t have to do anything for it.” My dad smiled. “She didn’t have to do anything for it because it’s not really for her,” he said. What did he mean I didn’t want her bike.
By spring Liz and I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) were riding all over town together now that she could keep up. As we grew, Liz and I became true friends.
Still I wasn’t smart e ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nough to understand what my father meant until years later. That new bike was not a gift for Liz—it was a gift for me. He’d given me the gift of my sister’s company, the ability to stay together rather than drift apart (逐渐疏远) in the face of my ability to travel. He gave me my best friend.
What do we know about the writer’s bike
A. He didn’t like it very much. B. Allen bought it for him.
C. It was very fashionable. D. It was worth $120.
Why did the writer think he was a real bike owner
A. He had paid off his debt. B. He had learned to ride a ten-speed bike.
C. He could also own Liz’s bike. D. He could sell his bike.
Why was the writer’s Christmas joy short-lived
A. His sister got a new record player. B. His sister got a better gift.
C. He got a second-hand record player. D. His father didn’t care about him.
Hearing his f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ather say “it’s not really for her(Paragraph 4)”, the writer probably felt______
A. moved B. upset C. puzzled D. unbelievable
The writer finally realized that
the new bike actually belonged to him
the new bike wasn’t bought by his father
in fact his father loved his sister more
his father gave him a more valuable gift
