B
People come in all shapes and sizes，colors and races (種族). Some speak differently while others act differently.
My mother is in a wheelchair. I would like to say something about this special woman I call "Mommy".
My mom does what a mom needs to do every day. She picks me up from school，drives me to meetings，cooks dinner，and helps me with my homework. This is just part of what makes her great，though.
She is my best friend and can immediately notice when I am unhappy. She helps me solve problems that my friends do not understand. Mommy makes me laugh when times are tough. I look forward to coming home because I know there is someone there who cares about what I have done.
Mommy has always tried to be like a "normal" mom. But I think my mother is a wonderful woman and she doesn’t need to change. She teaches me life lessons that no teacher or friend can. She shows me how to accept everyone for what is inside，rather than what is on the outside.
You may have realized that all the qualities (品質(zhì)) I admire have nothing to do with what she looks like. Everyone could be the way she is，but most are not.
I want everyone to look beyond the surface and see what is inside others. You may fail to notice someone who is very special like my mom because you cannot accept their outside features.

If you see someone drowning, speed is very important. Once you get him out of the water, if he isn't breathing, you have four minutes before his brain is completely destroyed. Support his neck, move his head back and press his chin upwards. This stops the tongue blocking the airway in the throat and is sometimes enough to get him breathing again. If that doesn't work, start mouth-to-mouth breathing. Press his nostrils (the two holes at the end of your nose, through which you breathe and smell things) together with your fingers. Open your mouth and take a deep breath. Blow into his lungs until his chest rises, then remove your mouth and watch his chest fall. Repeat twelve times a minute. Keep doing until professional help arrives.
To bring a child back to life, keep your lips around his mouth and gently blow into his mouth. Give the first four breaths as quickly as possible to fill the blood with oxygen. If, in spite of your efforts, he starts turning a blue-grey colour, and you can feel no pulse(脈搏), then pressing is the last chance of saving his life.
With arms straight, rock forwards, pressing down on the lower half of the breastbone. Don't be too hard or you may break a rib. Check how effective you are by seeing if his colour improves or his pulse becomes independent to your chest pressing. If this happens, stop the pressing. Otherwise continue until rescue arrives.
小題1:If you want to save someone drowning, you __________.
A．have to pull off his clothes first .
B．should try to get him out of water as quickly as possible.
C．should first make out who he is.
D．ought to throw a life coat to him first .
小題2:Once a person stops breathing, it means ___________.
A．you have no more than 4 minutes to bring him to life again .
B．his brain is completely damaged .
C．he has passed away.
D．there is no way to save his life .
小題3:To press his chin upwards is a way to _____________.
A．keep the tongue from blocking the airway in the throat .
B．prevent the tongue from stopping the airway in the throat .
C．wipe the tongue out of the throat .
D．see if he can possibly be saved .
小題4:If the drowning boy has no pulse,_____________.
A．press his chin upwards is enough to get him breathing .
B．blow air into his mouth is sure to save his life .
C．press his nostrils together with your fingers can work .
D．press is the last chance of saving his life .
小題5:Which of the following statement is true?
A．Don’t stop pressing his chest, if the drowning man starts breathing again.

Jeremy Shu-How Lin, who was born in California, 1988, world-famous now，is the first Chinese-American professional basketball player with the New York Knicks of NBA.
It hasn't been an easy road for Lin. After high school, Lin sent his resume(簡歷) and a DVD of highlights to all the Ivy League schools, and his dream schools Stanford and UCLA. Harvard and Brown were the only schools that guaranteed him a spot on their basketball teams, but Ivy League schools do not offer athletic scholarships.
After graduating from Harvard University, Lin went undrafted in the 2010 NBA Draft . Lin spent his first season with his hometown the Golden State Warriors. He saw limited minutes with the Warriors, but was cheered in arenas(比賽場) around the country, particularly in cities with large Asian communities, as fans came out in crowds to cheer their homegrown star. In late 2011, Lin spent less than two weeks with the Houston Rockets, moving to the New York Knicks at the very end of the year.
He has made several trips to the NBA's Development League, a minor league for players who show promise but need seasoning before they can compete at the highest level. It appears to have paid off. In February 2012, after keying the Knicks victory over New Jersey, Lin was named the starter for the Utah game, a position he appears to have a hold on in the short term, as Baron Davis, who signed in December to play the position, stays on the disabled list. Lin will likely get stronger the more minutes he plays, and even if Davis returns, spelling the older, recovering player could be productive for Lin: a proven good student who can learn a lot from practicing against a veteran.
Without the services of All-Stars Carmelo and Amare, Lin led New York to a 4-0 record last week. He became the first player in NBA history to record at least 20 points and seven assists in each of his first four starts, which generated a global following known as Linsanity. The Associated Press called Lin "the most Surprising story in the NBA".                                                                          
小題1:From the passage we can know that Lin         ．
A．enjoyed himself in the Houston Rockets
B．used to be a leader in the New York Knicks
C．is a proven good student who can learn a lot from other players.
D．led New York to success with the help of some All- Stars.
小題2:According to the passage, which statement is true?  
A．Harvard offered Lin an athletic scholarship．
B．Harvard and Brown make sure of Lin's position on their basketball teams．
C．Stanford and Harvard were Lin's dream schools．
D．Lin’s DVD impressed all the Ivy League schools greatly．
小題3:Which of the following can be the main idea of this text?
A．How the word Linsanity came into being．B．Introduction to Jeremy Shu-How Lin．
C．How Lin becomes successful．D．Lin and New York Knicks

Now let us look at how we read. When we read a printed text, our eyes move across a page in short, jerky movement. We recognize words usually when our eyes are still when they fixate. Each time they fixate, we see a group of words. This is known as the recognition span or the visual span. The length of time in which the eyes stop ---the duration of the fixation ----varies considerably from person to person. It also varies within any one person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text. Furthermore, it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness.
Unfortunately, in the past, many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the printed page. As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading, numerous exercises have been devised to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation. For instance, in some exercises, words are flashed on to a screen for, say, a tenth or a twentieth of a second. One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point, taking in the words on either side. Such word patterns are often constructed in the shape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive fixation. All these exercises are very clever, but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently. Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words. Consequently, for these reasons, many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training, especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text.
小題1:The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following facts except ________ .
A．the length of a group of words.
B．lighting and tiredness.
C．one’s familiarity with the text.
D．one’s purpose in reading.
小題2:The author may believe that reading ______.
A．demands an deeply-participating mind.
B．demands more mind than eyes.
C．requires a reader to take in more words at each fixation.
D．requires a reader to see words more quickly.
小題3:What does the author mean by saying “but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently.” in the second paragraph?
A．The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve an efficient reading.
B．The reading exercises mentioned has done a great job to improve one’s ability to see words.
C．The ability to see words is not needed when an efficient reading is conducted.
D．The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve both the ability to see or comprehend words.
小題4:Which of the following is NOT true?
A．The emphasis on the purely visual aspects is misleading.
B．The eye training will help readers in reading a continuous text.
C．The visual span is a word or a group of words we see each time.
D．Many experts began to question the efficiency of eye training.
小題5:The tune of the author in writing this article is ________.
A．pessimisticB．optimisticC．criticalD．neutral

Today our lives are changing faster than at any time in history. Here we report on three important changes that will have a big impact on our everyday lives in the future．
The cashless society 
Cash and bank-notes will disappear almost completely. They will be replaced by smart cards, namely plastic cards: microchip（微芯片）processors（處理器）loaded with some money. When we pay for goods，the shop assistant will put our smart card into a payment terminal（終端）and money will come into his card from our card. When all the money is used up，we will be able to reloadit by putting it into a telephone，dialing our bank account and money will be put into the card from the account.
Interactive telephones 
Talking computers will play an important part. They will recognize speech, ask us what information we need, look through a database，and put the information into speech．If we want to book a flight or pay a bill by phone, we will interact with a talking computer to do so. Human telephone operators will be used only for more complex operations such as dealing with complaints or solving special problems.
Traffic jams in cities will be reduced because drivers will use electronic route maps to find the quickest route to their destination. Electronic systems will start changing motorists for driving in cities．As soon as motorists have to pay to drive in cities, they will stop using their cars and use public transport instead. Speed control systems will be built into cars. These systems will automatically（自動地）regulate the speed of the car to take account of traffic and weather conditions and prevent accidents. It will be many years before these changes bring results but when they do，there will be a titanic improvement in road safety.
With the development of science and technology, more and more advanced things will be invented or created. Life in the future is undoubtedly different from that at the present.
小題1:Cash and bank-note will disappear because         .
A．they will be out of use sooner or later
B．they will be replaced by plastic cards convenient to use
C．we can load money from the bank
D．they will be rejected by payment terminals
小題2:What will you do if the money in your card is used up?
A．Go to the bank to deposit some money.
B．Put the card into a telephone and dial the bank account.
C．Buy a new card.
D．We don’t know.
小題3:Which of the following would be the best subtitle for the fourth paragraph?
A．Future cars B．Speed control systemsC．Intelligent carsD．Traffic jams
小題4:Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．When we buy tickets for flying somewhere else, we can have a talk with the computer.
B．If you make a complaint, you can use human telephone operation.
C．Drivers will stop using their cars and use public transport in order to prevent accidents.
D．The help of electronic route maps will decrease traffic jams.
小題5:The underlined word “titanic” in Paragraph 4 means        .
A．huge and greatB．the name of a shipC．slightD．increasing

The Iceberg Was Only Part ofIt
What doomed the Titanic is well known, at least in outline. On a moonless night of April 15, 1912, the ship hit an iceberg in the North Atlantic ,with 1,500 lives lost.
A century later many people presented new theories to explain the real reason for the disaster. Now two new studies argue that rare states of nature played major roles in the disaster.
The first says Earth’s nearness to the Moon and the Sun — a proximity not matched in more than 1,000 years — resulted in record tides that help explain why the Titanic met with so much ice, including the fatal iceberg.
Recently, a team of researchers found an apparent explanation in the heavens. They discovered that Earth had come unusually close to the Sun and Moon that winter, enhancing their gravitational pulls on the ocean and producing record tides. The rare orbits took place between December 1911 and February 1912 — about two months before the disaster came about. The researchers suggest that the high tides refloated masses of icebergs traditionally stuck along the coastlines of Labrador and Newfoundland and sent them adrift into the North Atlantic shipping lanes.
And a second, put forward by a Titanic historian from Britain, contends that the icy waters created ideal conditions for an unusual type of mirage(海市蜃樓) that hid icebergs from lookouts whose duty was to watch carefully for danger ahead and confused a nearby ship as to the liner’s identity, delaying rescue efforts for hours.
Most people know mirages as natural phenomena caused when hot air near the Earth’s surface bends light rays upward. In a desert, the effect prompts lost travelers to mistake patches of blue sky for pools of water. But another kind of mirage occurs when cold air bends light rays downward. In that case, observers can see objects and settings far over the horizon. The images often undergo quick distortions — not unlike the wavy reflections in a funhouse mirror.
Now, scholars of the Titanic are debating these new theories. Some have different opinions on it. Over all, though, many experts are applauding the fresh perspectives. 
小題1:The underlined word "It" in the title probably refers to _______.
A．the TitanicB．the cause of the disaster
C．the record tideD．a(chǎn)n unusual mirage
小題2:According to Theory First, what was the right chain of causes leading to the Titanic’s disaster?
① record tides’ forming and icebergs’ being refloated
② icebergs’ being drifted into the North Atlantic shipping lanes
③ the Earth’s strange closing to the Sun and the Moon
④ increasing of the gravitational force on the ocean
A．①→②→③→④B．②→③→④→①C．④→③→②→①D．③→④→①→②
小題3:According to Theory Second, the disaster happened to the Titanic mainly because______.
A．the freezing weather made the watcher not be able to watch clear
B．the mirage made the watcher not find icebergs and a nearby ship delay rescuing
C．the mirage on the sea attracted the watcher and made him forget his work
D．the high tides drove the icebergs float so fast that the watcher didn’t respond to them
小題4:What is the chief function of the sixth paragraph?
A．to explain to the readers the ways of the mirage forming
B．to infer the possibility of the mirage appearing
C．to summarize the various kinds of the mirage
D．to analyze the conditions of the mirage arising
小題5:This passage is organized generally in the pattern of________.
A．comparison and contrastB．conclusion and proof
C．time and eventsD．definition and classification（分類)

I was sitting at the bar of a local restaurant having __36__ and taking a break. A pretty girl who looked about 25 walked in and sat down in a booth(飯館的小隔間) __37__ for her friend.

“ Someone today thought you were beautiful; someone today thought your smile glowed __49__ excitement; someone today thought your eyes __50__ up the world; someone today cared and wanted you to know this. Enjoy the rest of your day, pretty young lady.”

I watched as she slowly read the note. Her eyes tore up, for only a moment, and then came the smile! A huge, beautiful, hopeful smile! She lit up the room and then sat up straight, not __53__ who saw her.
It’s not __54__ we look or what we have; it’s not our houses or how many cars we have; nor is it how much money we can earn. It’s all about how much we care and what we do, __55__ it’s making someone feel pretty only for a moment.

We often talk about ourselves as if we have permanent genetic defects （缺陷） that can never be changed．“I’m impatient．” “I’m always behind．” “I always put things   21 !” You’ve surely heard them．Maybe you’ve used them to describe   22 ．
These comments may come from stories about us that have been   23  for years—often from   24  childhood．These stories may have no   25  in fact．But they can set low expectations for us．As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical （操作機械的） skills, and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life．” How did these expectations   26  my development? I was never   27  to work on cars or be around   28 ．When I was 18, I took the US Army’s Mechanical Aptitude Test．My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!
