［重点句型］
1. Nor did he let the disease stop him from living the kind of life he had always dreamt of. 他没有让疾病阻碍他过着他一直梦想的那种生活.
本句中的动词短语stop sb. from doing sth. 表示 “阻止某人做某事” 或 “不让某人做某事”.其中stop 可以用prevent 或keep 代替,但keep 短语中的from不能省略. 另外,三个动词用在被动语态中from 均不能省略.
例如: The old man stopped/prevented/kept the boys from playing on the street. 那老人阻止孩子们在大街上玩.
［辨析］stop sb./sth.to do sth.
Stop sb./sth.to do sth. 的意思是 “把某人或某物拦住,让他或它做某事”,其中to do sth. 可以看成是目的状语.
例如: I’ll stop anyone who happens to pass by to give me a hand. 我将拦住任何一位碰巧路过的人, 让他帮忙.
2. Scientist, on the other hand, Hawking writes, know that their job is never finished and that even the best theory can turn out to be wrong. 霍金写道,从另一个方面上说,科学家知道他们的工作是永无止境的,即使是最完美的理论也可能是错误的.
(1)英语中,在表示列举时经常使用on (the) one hand…, on the other (hand) … 表示 “一方面……, 另一方面……”.
例如: On (the) one hand, he said he would go there at once. On the other (hand), he still stayed at home. 一方面,他说马上就走. 另一方面他却仍然呆在家里.
(2) turn out to be 意思是 “结果是”﹑ “最后情况是”,相当于 prove to be.
例如: The weatherman said it was going to rain this afternoon but it turned out to be very lovely. 天气预报说今天下午有雨,其实今天下午天气非常好.
The lecture turned out to be very wonderful. 讲座结果很精彩.
3. Everyone has his or her special skills and interests, and only by discovering what we do best can we hope to reach our goals and truly make a difference.每个人都有自己的专长和兴趣, 只有发现自己的专长我们才能期望达到自己的目标, 真正与众不同.
(1)后半句是一个倒装句,正常的句子应当是: We can hope to reach our goals and truly make a difference by discovering what we can do best.
用倒装句的目的是为了强调语气. 注意only 只有在强调状语或状语从句时才能用倒装语序,而强调主语进仍然用正常的陈述语序.
例如: Only in this way can you do it well. 只有这样你才能做好这件事.
Only you know the secret. 只有你知道这个秘密.
(2) make a difference 的意思是 “与众不同”, 含有difference 的短语还有:
① make some difference to sb. 对某人有些影响
② make no difference to sb. 对某人没影响
③ tell the difference between A and B 告诉…… 和…… 的区别/不同.
例如: It will make no difference to me whether you go or stay. 你的去留对我没有丝毫影响.

A
Today many people say that women have the same chance as men in society. But this was not always so. In the past, women all over the world had to fight to get the same chance as men in education and jobs. Many people said that women should not receive much education because they would not do as well as men when they went to work..
One woman who showed that women should have the same chance was Marie, a scientist.
In the 1800s scientists knew that a metal, uranium, gave off radiation. They also knew how much radiation came from his element. But they didn’t know what this radiation was like; they wondered why and how uranium gave off radiation. Marie Curie set out to answer these questions. In one of her experiments she was studying a certain material which, she knew, contained uranium, but it gave off 4 times as much radiation as usually does. What could explain this fact Marie Curie thought that there must be another source of radiation in this material.
In 1898 Marie Curie set out to find out this new source of radiation, which she named “radium”. Her husband, who was also a scientist, helped her. They set up a laboratory in an old building behind a school. For four years Curies searched, doing many experiments, and one morning in 1902 Marie found the source of the radiation.
Marie Curie proved to the world that there was element that gave off radiation. And she also proved to the world that, if women are given truly equal chance, they can really help society.
41. The scientists of Marie Curie’s day knew .
A. that uranium gave off radiation
B. that radium gave off radiation
C. that there was some radium in uranium
D. that uranium and radium both gave off radiation
42. The Curies found the element radium .
A. with other scientists’ help
B. by asking some famous scientists
C. by doing many experiments
D .with their teachers’ help
43. In the past many people thought .
A. that women must get the same chance as men in education and jobs
B. that women should receive much education
C. that women should get good jobs
D. that women could not do the work well
44. Marie Curie proved to people .
A. that there was a new element uranium
B. that there was a new element radium
C. that women could do their work as well as men if they were really given the same conditions
D. both B and C
B
What makes a person a scientist Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others The answer is “no”. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate(调查),how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.
The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit what works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.
45. What makes a scientist according to the passage
A. The tools he uses.
B. His ways of learning.
C. The way he uses his tools.
D. The various tools he use
46. “The scientist, however, goes one step further,…”the author says this to show 。
A. the importance of information
B. the importance of thinking
C. the difference between scientists and ordinary people
D. the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs.
47. A sound scientific theory should be one that .
A. does not only work under one set of conditions at one time, but also works under the same conditions at other times
B. leaves no room for improvement
C. does not allow any change even under different conditions
D. can be used for many purposes
48. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Scientists are different from ordinary people.
B. The theory of relativity.
C. Exactness is the core（核心）of science.
D. Exactness and way of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist.

　 Geena David knew she wanted to be a movie star when she was very young. She was not sure what gave her the idea, but she wanted to look like a movie star. “I have a lot of pictures from my childhood of me wearing sunglasses,” she says. “I used to wear them to watch TV.”
　 Early movie actors started wearing sunglasses not because they looked good, but because their eyes hurt. The lights used on movie sets were extremely bright and could cause a painful problem known as “Klieg eyes”. It was named after the Klieg brothers who invented the lights. Actors wore sunglasses to give their eyes a rest. But when movie stars began wearing their sunglasses in public, they quickly became a must.
　 Eventually actors started wearing sunglasses in their movies as well as on the street. Audrey Hephburn wore ultra-cool Ray-Ban sunglasses in the 1961 movie, Breakfast at Tiffany’s. As a result, Ray-Ban sunglasses started to appear more and more in the movies. In 1979, Ray-Ban “Wayfarers” were worn by Jake and Elwood in The Blue Brothers. Tom Cruise wore Ray-Ban “Aviator” sunglasses in the 1986 hit, Top Gun. Then in 1997, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones made Ray-Ban “Predator” sunglasses famous in Men in Black.
　 Of course sunglasses aren’t just a fashion statement. The main reason to wear sunglasses is to protect our eyes against UV radiation. UV radiation can damage our eyes, so people now choose their sunglasses carefully. But you don’t have to give up style for safety. The choice of frames and lenses available these days is huge. So you can protect your eyes and still be the coolest person on the beach.
21.What is mainly discussed in this passage
A. The use of sunglasses.
B. The history of sunglasses.
C. The sunglasses wearing.

23.Early actors’ eyes hurt because ______.
A. they wore sunglasses
B. they went out in the sun too much
C. the lights on movie sets were too bright
D. their scripts were written in very small writing
24.We may know from this passage that ______.
A. Audrey Hephburn was a famous film star
B. Ray-Ban is the name of sunglasses maker
C. Sunglasses made Top Gun the hit in 1986
D. Men in Black must be an advertisement of sunglasses
25. Now people wear sunglasses ______.

“Just five more minutes.” “I’m tired!” “I can’t get up.” If you have ever had trouble getting up in the morning, you are not alone. Many kids in the United States do not get enough sleep.
Your body needs sleep — and lots of it! “Evidence(证据) shows that elementary-age children need at least nine hours of sleep per night,” said sleep expert Dr. Carl Hunt.
Kids who do not sleep enough cannot do their best, experts say. A tired kid may be moody and act badly. Being tired can also cause kids to forget things, have trouble learning, and have trouble playing sports.
Not sleeping enough can also affect kids’ safety. Experts say children who are tired are more likely to suffer injuries. Lots of kids lose sleep because they are busy. Many take part in after-school activities. Then they go home, eat dinner, and do homework. Afterward, many kids watch TV, play video games, and surf the Internet. That leaves less time for sleep.
Sometimes you may not be able to go to bed early. But, if you get a choice whether to stay up late, think twice. A good night’s sleep can help you feel your best!
26.What is the best title for this story
A. Kids Need More Sleep
B. Turn off the TV
C. Children Dream
D. Kids Have Busy Lives
27.According to the story, what is the main reason many kids do not get enough sleep
A. They are afraid of the dark.
B. They are busy all day.
C. They get up early to do their homework.
D. They stay up late reading.
28.How could a good night’s sleep help you feel your best
A. You may be less moody.
B. You may have an easier time learning.
C. You may be less likely to get injured.
D. All of the above

　 Memory，they say，is a matter of practice and exercise. If you have the wish and really make a conscious （有意识的）effort，then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. But even if you are successful， there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.
Sometimes you remember things that really did not happen. One morning last week， for example， I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night， yet I clearly remembered locking it carefully the night before.
Memory “tricks” work the other way as well. Once in a while you remember not doing something and then find out that you did. One day last month，for example，I was sitting in a barbershop（ 理发店） waiting for my turn to get a haircut，and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barbershop across the street from my office.
　We always seem to find something funny and interesting in incidents（事件）caused by people’s forgetfulness or absent-mindedness. Stories about absent-minded professors have been told for years. Unfortunately，however，absent-mindedness is not always funny. There are times when “tricks” of our memory can cause us great trouble.
41.If you want to have a good memory， _____.
A. you should ask someone else to help you to remember things
B. you should make a conscious effort to practice and exercise
C. you should never stop learning
D. you should try hard to remember things
42.In the passage，the writer seems to tell us _____.
A. forgetting things is serious and dangerous
B. always forgetting things is understandable
C. forgetting things at times is natural
D. the ways to protect yourself from memory “tricks”
43.The best title for this passage is“_____”.
A. How to Get a Good Memory
B. Tricks’ of Memory
C. The Danger of Forgetfulness and Absent-mindedness
D. Get Rid of Absent-mindedness

No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the USA. There are almost 2，000 of them，as compared with 180 in Japan， 164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Famous dailies like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. However，they are not national newspapers in the sense that The Times is in Britain or Le Monde is in France，since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these present detailed description of national and international news，but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news.
Like the press in most other countries，American newspapers range from the “sensational” which feature crime and gossip(闲谈)，to the “serious”，which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions，American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information，for they have to compete with the attraction of television.
　Just as American newspapers satisfy all tastes，so do they also try to attract readers of all political parties. A few newspapers support extremist(极端主义的) groups on the far right and on the far left，but most daily newspapers try to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are moderate（中立的）. Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and social views，in order to present a balanced picture.
　As in other countries， American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible， but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once courageously exposed political scandals（丑闻）or crimes，for instance，the Watergate Affair（水门事件）. The Newspapers drew the attention of the public to the horrors of the Vietnam War.
44.There are fewer national newspapers in _____.
　A. Britain than in the USA.
　B. France than in Britain
　C. the USA than in Britain or France
　D. France than in the USA or Britain
45.Most American newspapers try hard to entertain their readers because _____.
A. they have to keep up a good relation with them
B. they have to compete with television
C. they have to write about crime and gossip
D. they have to give factual news in an interesting way
46.Many American newspapers attract readers of different political preference by _____.
A. supporting extremist groups from time to time
B. inviting middle-of-the-road Americans to write articles for them
C. avoiding carrying articles about extremists
D. printing articles representing different political viewpoints
47.The passage is mainly about _____.
A. the characteristics of American newspapers
B. the development of American newspapers
C. the functions of American newspapers
D. the advantages and disadvantages of American newspapers

Every year when the Italian artist Michelangelo’s (1475－1564，意大利文艺复兴时期著名雕刻家、画家、建筑师) birthday comes around, computer users all over the world are filled with fear (害怕) and use their computers with care. Some may even choose not to turn on their computers on March 3. All this fear and care are just because a deadly computer virus is ready to cause damages (破坏) on that day.
What’s a computer virus then Why do people get so afraid of it
A computer virus is, in fact, a little program that is put into other programs and that does something bad. It is called a virus because, like any real-life viruses such as AIDs virus, it reproduces itself. And when these programs are run, the virus is brought to life. It hides itself in your computer system waiting for the right moment to make damages. And at the same time it keeps producing itself by copying itself onto other programs.
The Michelangelo virus waits until the artist’s birthday comes around, and then it will wake up to do very bad things like destroying you files (毁坏文档) . So next time when you turn on your computer, look out for computer viruses!
