2.About 400high school students from Western Pennsylvania and the neighboring state of Ohio joined a heated discussion recently on"China:What Does the Future Hold?"
"It's either going to turn out really good or really bad-who knows?"said Braveen Ragunathan,a senior from an Ohio high school.In his mind all Americans are connected to China in some way.
The forum (論壇) was held in Pittsburgh,once a US industrial center,now facing job-cuts because of competition brought about by globalization.The aim of the forum is to help American students learn more about the outside world.
Elliott Blackwell,a junior at the Neighborhood Academy,said the forum let him know more about how China's economic development will affect America in the future.
Some students,although impressed by China's economic boom,expressed uneasiness about the nation's practices and differences from the American way of doing business and politics.
"China is a power coming up,so they might challenge us,"Paul Amon,a junior from Oil City High School,said."I'd hope that China can be our partner but I think that we'd clash (沖突) along the way because we're too different,"he added.
George Riley,a teacher explained:"The view of China is usually negative (否定的) and I think that's fueled by the media."
However,some negative feelings are not from the media.Merri Ebel is a senior at East Allegheny High School north of Pittsburgh.Both her parents lost their jobs recently.The company they worked for said it was cheaper to produce goods in China rather than the US.
"China is just this big question mark.China was just a big country with millions of people that no one really knew about because it was so far away and our class was more American history based,"she said.
For better or worse US teenagers are eager to know more about China,the forum shows.

56.From the passage we know that most US teenagersA.
A.know only a little about China
B.know much about China
C.know nothing about China
D.like China very much
57.Many US students expressed their uneasiness about China becauseA.
A.China and the US are too different
B.China and the US are close partners
C.China and the US are enemies
D.they know China very well
58.The main reason that China in their eyes is usually negative is probably thatC.
A.their teachers affect them
B.their classmates affect them
C.newspapers and online news affect them
D.the forum affects them
59.Which of the following from the passage is true?D
A.The view of China is usually positive.
B.The forum is not necessary at all.
C.The US and China would clash along the way because we are too big.
D.US teenagers are eager to know more about China.
60.What is the best title of the passage?D
A.Teenagers in the USA            B.Job-cuts in Pittsburgh
C.Cheaper goods in China          D.China in their eyes.

分析 這是一篇來自美國Western Pennsylvania和Ohio的兩所學(xué)校的學(xué)生就China:What Does the Future Hold?舉行的論壇,大家各抒己見,最后一自然段For better or worse US teenagers are eager to know more about China,the forum shows.表明:大家渴望更多地了解中國,關(guān)注中國.

解答 56,答案:A.細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)兩個(gè)自然段,China is just this big question mark.和no one really knew about because it was so far away 可知,沒有人真正了解中國,或者說了解也只是一點(diǎn).所以答案選A.
57,答案:A.細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)文章第三自然段the nation's practices and differences from the American 
way of doing business and politics.和第四自然段的but I think that we'd clash (沖突) along the way 
because we're too different.可知中國的實(shí)踐和就做生意與政治而言,與他們國家大不相同,今后還會(huì)發(fā)生沖突,故A選項(xiàng)符合題意.
58,答案:C.細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)第五自然段The view of China is usually negative (否定的) and I think 
that's fueled by the media.可知句中that是指代The view of China is usually negative (否定的),意思是否定中國的觀點(diǎn)是西方媒體鼓吹的.故選C.
59,答案:D.細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)最后一自然段For better or worse US teenagers are eager to know more 
about China,the forum shows.可知這次論壇最后得出的結(jié)論是美國青少年渴望更多地了解中國,故C選項(xiàng)最合題意.
60,答案:D.主旨大意題,根據(jù)文章第一自然段About 400high school students from Western Pennsylvania 
and the neighboring state of Ohio joined a heated discussion recently on"China:What Does the Future 
Hold?"以及后面同學(xué)們的積極發(fā)言可知,同學(xué)們是對(duì)"中國的未來掌握了什么"發(fā)言,故D選項(xiàng)符合短文主旨大意.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文寫了美國Western Pennsylvania和Ohio的兩所學(xué)校的學(xué)生就China:What Does the Future Hold?舉行激烈辯論,最后辯論結(jié)果,結(jié)論是For better or worse US teenagers are eager to know more about China. 題目涉及到四道細(xì)節(jié)理解題,同學(xué)們?cè)谧鲞@樣的閱讀題時(shí),首先要看這五個(gè)問題的內(nèi)容,再帶著問題去閱讀原文,在具體確定每個(gè)題的答案時(shí),要抓住關(guān)鍵句子,充分結(jié)合原文和題干,尊重原文本意,切不可胡亂猜測(cè),要仔細(xì)斟酌,確定選項(xiàng).一道主旨大意題,同學(xué)們?cè)谕ㄗx全文的基礎(chǔ)上,掌握大意,要分析,揣摩作者的寫作意圖,這樣才能更好地完成類似的題.只有這樣,方能提高閱讀理解的真確率.

17.One morning in 2007.Parthasarathy---we usually called him Partha.---came to meet me.He was disabled and was not an engineer but had majored in a computer course in college.I told Partha,"I'd like to employ people like you."In fact,it turned out to be the right decision to employ him.Partha had an amazing enthusiasm and his disability did not stop him from improving himself.I was not doing any charity by employing him because my company benefited more from Partha.I have realized that physically challenged people are more faithful than others but unfortunately we usually pay scant attention to them.
At that time our office was on the first floor and Partha had difnculty dealing with the stairs.Seeing him struggle.I decided to make the entire office disabled-friendly.Our ground floor is now intended for the disabled people,and we have special toilets for them.We have also built houses for them near the office so that they can avoid long travelling hours.
After meeting Partha,I decided to hire more disabled people.We waited six months to get another disabled person who then became our receptionist.
I don't regard employing disabled people as charity.I consider it my responsibility.The country has spent much money educating me and I feel it is time for me to do something as a reward.
It is great to work with them.Seeing them work,get married,settle in life and have children is a wonderful experience.
We have 550employees now,and 20percent of them are disabled.We go to Engineering Colleges looking for disabled people but onty to find one or two in each college.Parents don't send them out.The biggest challenge for the physically disabled is the attitude of their parents,but we hire them even if they are not engineers.

56.What kind of person was Partha?(No more than 10words)
Partha was disabled but didn't stop improving himself.
57.What does the underlined word"scant"in the 1st paragraph mean?(No more than 2words)
Little./Not enough.
58.Why is the ground floor intended for the disabled people?(No more than l2words)
Because the disabled have difficulty dealing with the stairs.
59.How many disabled workers are there in the writer's company now?(No more than 2words)
110
60.Do you agree to the writer's plan to employ more disabled people?And why?(No more than 30words)
Yes.Because it is our duty to reward the country and the disabled need chances to make full use of their skills to improve themselves..

7.[1]Joshua Lionel Cowen,a New York inventor,was born in l 877.In 1 900,he created maybe the most popular Christmas toy of the last century-little electric trains that circle Christmas trees.More than 50 million Lionel train sets have been sold worldwide,and today Lionel produces more than 300 miles of track each year.
[2]Like many American inventors,Josh Cowen,who died in l965,was self-taught.According to history books.when he was 7 he carved a wooden toy train and tried to put a little steam engine on it.The engine blew up,but there were no complaints from his parents and eight brothers and sisters.
[3]As a 23-year-old working at an electric fan company,Cowen dreamed up putting a little battery-powered fan motor onto a wooden toy train he called the Electric Express.He took it to a toy store,and they put it in the window to replace a train you had to push around by hand.Within days,Christmas shoppers snapped up six Lionel trains,and the company business took off.
[4]While there were many toy train companies-the first electric train was exhibited at the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago-Cowen's invention beat them a11.probably because he tied it to Christmas and produced the toy villages and other things to put around the tree and the train.Still,competition has not stopped.Today there are many companies making toy trains of all sizes,some on tracks using electricity,some on the floor using wind-up springs(發(fā)條).
[5]One of the best places in Washington to see a big toy train display is the U.S.Botanic Garden.The big glass building at the foot of the U.S.Capitol has a single train running in one room and a bunch of trains in another big room.____________________________ is one of the most popular holiday attractions in the city.

14.Technology:Taking the good without the bad?
Very soon,unimaginably powerful technologies will remake our lives.This could have dangerous consequences,especially because we may not even understand the basic science underlyi ng them.There's a growing gap between our technological capability and our basic scientific understanding.We can do very clever things with the technology of the future without necessarily understanding some of the science underneath,and that is very dangerous.
The technologies that are particularly dangerous over the next hundred years are nanotechnology (納米技術(shù)),artificial intelligence and biotechnology.The benefits that they will bring are beyond doubt.But they are going to be very,very dangerous.I'm working in the field of artificial intelligence.I have a model design for something that might be 50,000 million times smarter than the human brain.Target date is 2010.The only thing that's not possible in the film Terminator(終結(jié)者) is that the people win.If you're fighting against technology w hich is 50,000 million times smarter than you,you probably will not win.
Nanotechnology.We've all heard of the grey glue problem,that self-replicating nanotech devices might keep on copying until the world has become sticky glue.And certainly in biotechnology,we've really got a big problem because it's converging with nanotechnology and IT.Once you start mixing nanotech with organisms and you start feeding nanotech-enabled bacteria,we can really go an awful lot further than the Borg in Star Trek(星際迷航).And those superhuman organisms might not like us very much.
Eventually these technologies will become routine.That's a threat to humanity.I don't think it's possible to slow it down.So what we need to do is accelerate the scientific research and try to get some extra tools.The problems facing us in the future are getting bigger and bigger.I think if we don't get some proper science done,the future is hopeless indeed.
58.From the text,we know that the author's greatest concern isC.
    A.our lack of technological understanding of the process involved
    B.our lack of technological capability
    C.creating technology without really understanding the basic science
    D.Our refusal to face the consequences of the technology we create
59.It can be inferred from the text that the authorB.
    A.thinks people overvalue the capabilities of technology
    B.is not optimistic that artificial intelligence will always be used positively
    C.thinks that we should take science fiction movies more seriously
    D.believes artificial intelligence is the greatest threat we face technologically
60.Why does the author say it is not possible in the film Terminator that the humans win?C
    A.Because the power of the technology is exaggerated(夸大).
    B.Because the strength of the machines is much greater.
    C.Because machines with that much intelligence can easily defeat humans.
    D.Because human beings are not courageous enough to win the battle.
