But outstanding astrophysicist(天体物理学家) Stephen Hawking has admitted that he did not learn to read until he was eight years old.In a public lecture at the Royal Albert Hall, Professor Hawking also admitted that he was not active in studying while at Oxford University, where he studied physics, and that only the diagnosis that he might die young from motor neurone(神经元) disease made him concentrate on his work.Professor Hawking said：“My sister Philippa could read by the age of 4 but then she was definitely brighter than me.” He said that he was unexceptional at school and was never further than halfway up his class.“My classwork was very untidy, and my handwriting was the despair of my teachers，” he said.“But my classmates gave me the nickname Einstein, so presumably they saw signs of something better.”But he said that it was when doctors told him that he probably only had a few years to live at the age of 21 that galvanized him into focusing on his work and a period of productivity that resulted in some of his early breakthroughs. He said，“When you are faced with the possibility of an early death, it makes you realize that life is worth living and there are lots of things you want to do.”26Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?AStephen Hawking is the second Einstein in the world.BStephen Hawking couldnt read at the age of 7.CStephen Hawkings handwriting was once terribly bad.DStephen Hawkings sister once performed much better than him.27We can infer that Stephen Hawking was_when he was a child and studied in Oxford University.Aclever BlazyCbright Dmean28What made Stephen Hawking devote himself to his work?APatience. BKnowledge.CDisease. DLaziness.29What can we learn from the last paragraph?AStephen Hawking didnt realize his dreams in physics.BIt was possible for Hawking to face the early death.CThe purpose of the doctors diagnosis was to encourage him to work hard.DHis life might be taken away by long hard work.30From whom did Hawking get a relatively just estimation when he was at school?AHis sister. BHis classmates.CHis teachers. DHis parents.BEdmund Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200 years ago. He studied the observations of ets which other scientists had made. The orbit of one particular et was a very difficult mathematical problem. He could not figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.However, Halley had a friend named Isaac Newton, who was a brilliant mathematician. Newton thought he had already worked out that problem, but he could not find the papers on which he had done it. He told Halley that the orbit of a et had the shape of an ellipse.Now Halley set to work, He figured out the orbits of some of the ets that had been observed by scientists. He made a surprising discovery. The ets that had appeared in the years 1531, 1607 and 1682 all had the same orbit. Yet their appearances had been 75 to 76 years apart.This seemed very strange to Halley. Three different ets followed the same orbit. The more Halley thought about, the more he thought that there had not been three different ets, as people thought. He decided that they had simply seen the same et three times. The et had gone away and had e back again.It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction of what would happen in the future. He decided that this et would appear in the year 1758. There were 53 years to go before Halleys prediction could be tested.In 1758 the et appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he had died some years before. Ever since then that et had been called Halleys et, in his honour.31Halley made his discovery_.Aby doing experimentsBby means of his own careful observationCby using the work of other scientistsDby chance32Halley made a surprising but correct prediction in the year_.A1704B1705C1706D170733This text in general is about_.AHalley and other scientists Bthe orbit of a etCNewton and Halley DHalley and his discovery34Which of the following is TRUE?AEdmund Halley was an American scientist.BHalley made his discovery by doing experiment.CIsaac Newton was a famous mathematician.DThe orbit of a et had the shape of an around.35This passage is probably written to_.Ageneral readers Bcollege studentsCscientists DastronomersCSomeday a stranger will read your email without your permission or scan the websites youve visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.In fact, its likely some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a girlfriend, a marketing pany, a boss, a policeman or a criminal. Whoever it is，they will see you in a way you never intended to be seenthe 21st century equal to being caught naked(裸露的)Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, though its important to reveal(透露) yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. Actually few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs (面包屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are，where you are and what you like. In some cases，a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not， increasingly we_live_in_a_world_where_you_simply_cannot_keep_a_secret.The key question is: Does that matter? For many Americans, the answer apparently is “no”When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found a majority of people are pessimistic about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is “slipping away, and that bothers me”But people say one thing and do another. Only a small part of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths(收费亭)to avoid using the EZPass system that can track(跟踪) automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquits has run a series of tests that reveal people will submit personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50centsoff coupon(优惠券)But privacy does matter at least sometimes. Its like health：when you have it，you dont notice it. Only when its gone do you wish youd done more to protect it.36From Paragraph 2，we can infer_.Acriminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technologyBpeople tend to be more frank with each other in the information ageCin the 21st century people try every means to look into others secretsDpeoples personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge37What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?AThere should be a distance even between friends.BThere should be fewer quarrels between friends.CFriends should always be faithful to each other.DFriends should open their hearts to each other.38Why does the author say “we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret”？AThere are always people who are curious about others affairs.BMany search engines profit by revealing peoples identities.CPeople leave traces around when using modern technology.DModern society has finally developed into an open society.39What do most Americans do with regard to privacy protection?AThey change behaviors that might disclose their identity.BThey talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.CThey rely more and more on electronic equipment.DThey use various loyalty cards for business deals.40According to the passage，privacy is like health in that_.Aits importance is rarely understoodBit is something that can easily be lostCpeople will make every effort to keep itDpeople dont treasure it until they lose itDFranz Kafka wrote that “a_book_must_be_the_ax_(斧子)_for_the_frozen_sea_inside_us”I once shared this sentence with a class of seventh graders, and it didnt seem to require any explanation.Wed just finished John Steinbecks novel Of Mice and Men. When we read the end together out loud in class, my toughest boy, a star basketball player, wept a little, and so did I. “Are you crying？” one girl asked, as she got out of her chair to take a closer look. “I am，” I told her, “and the funny thing is Ive read it many times.”But they understood. When George shoots Lennie, the tragedy is that we realize it was always going to happen. In my 14 years of teaching in a New York City public middle school, Ive taught kids with imprisoned parents, abusive(辱骂的)parents, irresponsible parents; kids who are parents themselves; kids who are homeless; kids who grew up in violent neighborhoods. They understand，more than I ever will, the novels terrible logicthe giving way of dreams to fate (命运)For the last seven years, I have worked as a reading enrichment teacher, reading classic works of literature with small groups of students from grades six to eight. I originally proposed this idea to my headmaster after learning that a former excellent student of mine had transferred out of a selective high schoolone that often attracts the literaryminded children of Manhattans upper classesinto a less petitive setting. The daughter of immigrants, with a father in prison, she perhaps felt unfortable with her new classmates. I thought additional “cultural capital” could help students like her develop better in high school, where they would unavoidably meet, perhaps for the first time, students who came from homes lined with bookshelves, whose parents had earned Ph.D.s.Along with Of Mice and Men, my groups read: Sounder, The Red Pony, Lord of the Flies, Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth. The students didnt always read from the expected point of view.About The Red Pony, one student said, “its about being a man, its about manliness.”I had never before seen the parallels between Scarface and Macbeth, nor had I heard Lady Macbeths soliloquies (独白) read as raps (说唱), but both made sense; the interpretations were playful, but serious. Once introduced to Steinbecks writing, one boy went on to read The Grapes of Wrath and told me repeatedly how amazing it was that “all these people hate each other, and theyre all white”. His historical view was broadening, his sense of his own country deepening. Year after year, former students visited and told me how prepared they had felt in their first year in college as a result of the classes.Year after year, however, we are increasing the number of practice tests. We are trying to teach students to read increasingly plex texts, not for emotional punch (碰撞) but for text plexity. Yet, we cannot enrich (充实) the minds of our students by testing them on texts that ignore their hearts. We are teaching them that words do not amaze but confuse. We may succeed in raising test scores, but we will fail to teach them that reading can be transformative and that it belongs to them.41. The underlined words in Paragraph 1 probably mean that a book helps to_.Arealize our dreams Bgive support to our lifeCsmooth away difficulties Dawake our emotions42. Why were the students able to understand the novel Of Mice and Men?ABecause they spent much time reading it.BBecause they had read the novel before.CBecause they came from a public school.DBecause they had similar life experiences.43The girl left the selective high school possibly because_.Ashe was a literaryminded girl Bher parents were immigrantsCshe couldnt fit in with her class Dher father was then in prison44. To the authors surprise, the students read the novels_.Acreatively Bpassively Crepeatedly Dcarelessly45. The author writes the passage mainly to_.Aintroduce classic works of literatureBadvocate teaching literature to touch the heartCargue for equality among high school studentsDdefend the current testing system 信息匹配阅读下列应用文及相关信息，按照要求匹配信息。A Chemistry Club：The Chemistry Club promotes students interest in several basic sciences，which include chemistry，physics and various engineering disciplines.Members of the club have a desire to apply textbook knowledge to real world experiments.One goal of the organization is to create “experiment assemblies(集会)” for lower，middle and upper school students.BEcology Club：The Ecology Club is an award winning organization at the state level.Students in this organization participate in numerous energy education activities，including an extensive oncampus recycling program.Emphasis is placed on environmental awareness，science education，and special projects，including upkeep(维修)of the schools trails(小路)CYoung Einsteins：Students interested in science have the opportunity for handson experience and field trips related to a wide range of scientific topics.The club meets after school with the Lower School science lab coordinate(同等的人)DReaders and Surfers Club：The Readers and Surfers Club is designed to encourage students to read for pleasure，as well as for research into science.Students are also given an opportunity to enhance their puter surfing skills.ESADD：The Students Against Destructive Decisions is a schoolbased organization dedicated to addressing the issues of underage drinking，drug use，and other destructive decisions and killers of young people.Its mission is to provide students with the best prevention and intervention tools to deal with the serious issues young adults are facing today.The idea of empowerment the foundation of SADD，is to build students confidence and ability to create changes.SADD promotes a “no use” message of alcohol and other drugs and encourages students not to participate in activities with destructive consequences.FFBLA：The Future Business Leaders of America strives to develop petent，aggressive business leadership，to strengthen the confidence of students in themselves and their work，to assist students in the establishment of occupational goals，to encourage scholarship and promote school loyalty，to create more interest in and understanding of the American Business Enterprise，and to facilitate the transition from school to work.Any student enrolled in a business class may join FBLA.46Marty is an excellent student majoring in business.Unfortunately for him，he has picked up some bad habits because of heavy stress.Nowadays，what troubles him most is that he often feels pain in his lung.He wonders if there is any good way to throw off his sufferings.47Rochester is a student majoring in engineering.Having formed a habit of studying something in order to apply it，he has developed a wide range of interest in scientific research.48Taylor is an average healthy school kidexcept that she is director of her own pany and earns more money in a day than her teachers earn in a year.But she wants to stay at high school for a little longer and hunt for every opportunity to improve herself.Thus she can have more chances to start a different kind of business in the future.49Laurence is a puter addict as well as a science lover.Unlike other students who are fond of playing puter games，he takes reading online as his hobby.50Rebecca is always dreaming of being a woman scientist.Now，being aware of the shortage of energy，she desires to do every bit to protect the environment and strongly objects to throwing some recyclable things away.请为五位学生找出合适他们的俱乐部学生俱乐部46Marty AChemistry Club47Rochester BEcology Club48Taylor CYoung Einsteins49Laurence DReaders and Surfers Club50Rebecca ESADD FFBLA第三部分写作第一节：基础写作请根据以下提示，以The Man of “Apple” 为题写一篇介绍Steve Jobs的短文。1出生年月：生于1955年。2职业：美国苹果公司前CEO、联合创始人。1976年， 21岁的乔布斯和26岁的沃兹尼艾克(Wozniak)成立了苹果电脑公司。3成就：乔布斯先后缔造了麦金塔计算机、ipad、iPod、iTunes Store、iPhone等诸多数字产品。4荣誉：1985年，乔布斯获得了由里根(Ronald Reagan)总统授予的国家级技术勋章；1997年成为时代周刊的封面人物；xx年，被财富杂志评为xx最伟大商人。 xx年，被财富杂志评选为这十年美国最佳CEO，同年当选时代周刊xx风云人物之一。5评价：乔布斯是一个充满想象和创造的人。世界各地的人们永远不会忘记他和他的“苹果”。 参考词汇：麦金塔计算机Macintosh puter_
