A month after I graduated from high school in August, 2007, I was coming home from swimpractice in the training centre of the city and was involved in a car accident. I was so seriously injuredthat I was in a coma for more than two months at Prince Georges Hospital. I suffered a lot from the experience of dying eight times during my coma and I couldnt open mymouth to talk or to communicate when I eventually came around. At that time, it seemed that walkingwas never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries. Just like my body, my dreams werecompletely destroyed. But I was not going to let my injuries stop me from realizing my dreams. After receiving a total of 15 operations and 36 blood transfusions, I had to make every greateffort to learn to talk, eat, walk, shower, and live on my own again. When I was out of hospital, I still had to go to outpatient therapy in Waldorf, Maryland. After I spent a few months in a wheelchair, I took baby steps to walk on my own. It was a miracle that I was able to walk again, but I still wanted to prove that I could not only walk, but also run. When it came true, I wanted to get back into the pool again. After having a few lung tests, I was able to go in the pool a little bit each week. After a few months of swim training, I began my freshman year at St. Marys College of Maryland and then became a proud member of the swim team. By telling my story, I want to make a positive influence on the world. I am just trying to live each day to the fullest and inspire other people never to give up their dreams no matter how bad a situation is to them. I remember when I was still in my hospital bed, I would have my mom and dad push me round in my wheelchair to the other rooms to see the other patients and chat with them and their family members. I wanted to let them know that everything was going to be okay. Somehow, things would work out for the best.26. The underlined word “coma” in Paragraph 2 prpbably has the meaning of “_”.

A good beginning is half doneB In communities north of Denver, residents are pitching in to help teachers and administrators as the Vrain school District tries to solve a $13.8 million budget shortage blamed on mismanagement. “Were worried about our teachers and principals, and we really dont want to lose them because of this,” one parent said. “If we can help ease their financial burden, we will.”Teachers are grateful, but I know it may be years before the district is solvent （有综合能力的）.They feel really good about the parent support, but they realize its impossible for them to solve this problem. The 22,000-student district discovered the shortage last month. “Its extraordinary. Nobody would have imagined something happening like this at this level,” said State Treasurer Mike Coffman. Coffman and district officials last week agreed on a state emergency plan freeing up a $9.8million loan that enabled the payroll (工资单) to be met for 2,700 teachers and staff in time for theholidays. District officials also took $1.7 million from student-activity accounts of its 38 schools. At Coffmans request, the District Attorney has begun investigating the districts finances. Coffman says he wants to know whether district officials hid the budget shortage until after the November election, when voters approved a $212 million bond issue for schools. In Frederick, students parents are buying classroom supplies and offering to pay for groceries and utilities to keep first-year teachers and principals in their jobs. Some $36,000 has been raised in donations from Safeway. A Chevrolet dealership donated $10,000 and forgave the districts $10,750 bill for renting the driver educating cars. IBM contributed 4,500 packs of paper. “We employ thousands of people in this community,” said Miteh Carson, a hospital chiefexecutive, who helped raise funds. “We have children in the school, and we see how they could beaffected.” At Creek High School, three students started a website that displays newspaper articles, district information and an email forum. “Rumors about whats happening to the district are moving at lighting speed,” said a student.“We wanted to know the truth, and spread that around instead.”31.

Many administrative personnel have been laid off.32. How did the residents in the Vrain School District respond to the budget shortage? A. They felt somewhat helpless about it. B. They accused those responsible for it. C. They made their efforts to help solve it. D. They demanded a thorough investigation.33. In the view of State Treasurer Mike Coffman, the educational budget shortage is_. A. unavoidable B. unbelievable C. insolvable D. invisible34. Why did Coffman request an investigation? A. To see if the financial problem was covered up on purpose B. To find out how serious the consequence of the case would be. C. To make sure that the school principals were innocent. D.

A. attract greater public attention to their needs B. appeal to the public for contributions and donations C. expose officials who neglected their duties D. keep people properly informed of the crisisC One of the worst feelings in the world is trying your hardest at something but still falling short. In the case of schoolwork, studying for hours and bringing home disappointing grades may make you feel hopeless or helpless, but this is far from the truth. If you are dealing with disappointing grades, promise to change your study habits and youll be amazed by the results.Act Fast The most important rule about dealing with disappointing grades is to act fast. Dont sit aroundand let them get worse, and definitely dont ignore them. Instead, admit that you need help and go in search of it soon. The faster you face up to the problem, the faster you can find a solution and see some results.Tweak your routine If you are studying hard and still dealing with disappointing grades, its probably time to tweak your routine a little. Remember, if you keep doing the same thing all the time youll undoubtedly keep getting the same results. Mix things up by asking for help, whether from a friend or fellow student, your teacher or a private tutor.Ask for help with the subject matter and tips for studying on your own.Study Successfully Of course it doesnt matter where you study or who you study with if you are studying the wrong things. Make sure that you are studying successfully by: *Reviewing your textbooks.*Looking over your notes from class.*Taking new notes while you study.*Investing in study guides.*Answering all of the review questions you can find.*Talking through events or concepts that are integral (整体) to your lessons.Learn From Your Mistakes If, after all of your changes and redoubling your study efforts, you are still disappointed with your grades, then it is time to figure out exactly where you are going wrong. Look over exam papers and assignments to see if you are having trouble with a particular kind of question (multiple choice, true or false, etc.) or concept. Examine your essays to see if you are explaining your ideas clearly and completely, or if it is the mechanics of your writing (spelling, grammar, etc.) that is letting you down. Request an appointment with your teacher and use this time to discuss your work and get his/her feedback as well.Dealing with disappointing grades is something that every student will face at one time or another. It wont be fun, but take a realistic look at your attention in class, your study habits and yourperformance on past assignments and exam. Figure out where you are having trouble and dedicateyourself to fixing these problems.36. The purpose of this passage is_.

The chip will also know if your child has fallen and needs immediate help. At the hospital, the chip will tell doctors his or her complete medical history. And of course, When you arrive to pick up your child, settling the hospital bill with your health insurance policy will be a simple matter of waving your own chip - the one embedded (植入) in your hand. “Actually, it could be used as credit cards and such,” says Chris Hables Gray, a professor ofcultural studies of science and technology at the University of Great Falls in Montana. “A lot of people wont have to carry wallets anymore,” he says.“The implications are that this technology, inthe long run, is profound.” Indeed, some are already wondering what this sort of technology may do to the sense of personal privacy and liberty.“Any technology of this kind is easily abusive of personal privacy,” says Lee Tien, senior staff attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation. “If a kid is track-able, do you want other people to be able to track your kid? Its a double-edged sword.” But Applied Digital Solutions, a corporation in Florida, is one of the latest to try and push the experiments into the lives of ordinary humans. The company says it has recently begun testing its VeriChip device in humans. About the size of a grain of rice, the microchip can be encoded(译成电码) with bits of information and implanted in humans under a layer of skin. When scanned by a nearby reader, the embedded chip provides the data - an ID number that links to a computer database file containing more detailed information. However, there are some blocks. Designers will have to develop some sort of power source that can provide a continuous source of energy, yet be small enough to be embedded with the chips. Another additional hurdle, developing tiny GPS (全球定位系统) receiver chips that could be embedded yet still be sensitive enough to receive signals from thousands of miles out in space. In addition to technical hurdles, many suspect that all sorts of legal and privacy issues would have to be cleared as well.41. The author mentions the child in the first paragraph to_. A. introduce to the readers how the chip works B. show how convenient and useful it is with a chip. C. present a new machine that can solve everything D. mention a common trouble people may have experienced42. The underlined word “abusive” in paragraph 3 most probably means _. A. protective B. offensive C. effective D. abused43. With VeriChip device developed by Applied Digital Solutions, detailed information can be got directly from_. A. the chip embedded under a layer of skin B. a nearby reader C. an ID number stored in the chip D. a computer database linked with the chip44. The following are the blocks of putting the chips into ordinary lives EXCEPT_. A. a continuous power source B. a sensitive receiver C. an enormous computer database D. some laws about privacy45. What may be the best title for this passage? A. The childcan make your life easy B. The chipa controversial new invention C. The chipcan help you find your child D. The chipstill have a long way to go第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。首先，请阅读下列书店信息：A.
