He was an American writer of novels and short stories, whose works are the typical writings of the Jazz Age, a term he created himself.Born into an upper middle-class Irish Catholic family, Fitzgerald was named after his famous second cousin, Francis Scott Key. He was also named after his deceased sister Louise Scott, one of two sisters who died shortly before his birth. He spent 18981901 in Syracuse and 19031908 in Buffalo, New York, where he attended Nardin Academy. When his father was fired from his pany, the family returned to Minnesota, where Fitzgerald attended St. Paul Academy from 1908 to1911.He is widely regarded as one of the 20th centurys greatest writers. Fitzgerald is considered to be a member of the “Lost Generation” of the 1920s. He finished four novels, This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, Tender Is the Night and his most famous classic novel, The Great Gatsby. A fifth, unfinished novel, The Love of the Last Tycoon was published after his death. Fitzgerald also wrote many short stories that dealt with themes of youth.His first literary work, a detective story, was published in a school newspaper when he was 12. When he was 16, he was forced to leave St. Paul Academy for neglecting his studies. He attended Newman School, a prep school in Hackensack, New Jersey, in 19111912, and entered Princeton University in 1913 as a member of the Class of 1917. There he became friends with future critics and writers Edmund Wilson (Class of 1916) and John Peale Bishop (Class of 1917), and wrote for the Princeton Triangle Club. He was also a member of the University Cottage Club, which still displays Fitzgeralds desk and writing materials in its library. A poor student, Fitzgerald left Princeton to enlist (入伍) in the US Army during World War I; however, the war ended shortly after Fitzgeralds enlistment.Fitzgerald had been an alcoholic (酒鬼) since his college days, leaving him in poor health by the late 1930s. Fitzgerald suffered a mild attack of tuberculosis in 1919, and died of a heart attack in 1940.21. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The “Lost Generation” of the 1920s.B. How Fitzgerald got his name.C. The life and works of Fitzgerald.D. Fitzgerald and the Jazz Age.22. What led to Fitzgeralds early death according to the passage?A. His poverty. B. His heavy drinking.

He joined the US Army during World War I.A. a,c,b,dB. a,d,b,cC. b,d,a,cD. b,a,c,d BAnyone who has experienced the joy of driving through a rainstorm with the sunroof (天窗) open understands how airflow around the moving vehicles can keep him dry despite the exposure. Now a similar principle is being employed to create an umbrella that protects people from the rain using nothing more than an invisible air force field.Air Umbrella, developed by a Chinese pany and recently funded by Kickstarter, uses forced air rather than fabric to create a protective canopy that keeps people from getting wet in the rain.Its a clever concept and designers have done a good job of answering several questions about the product. For instance, the sound generated by the device is minimal, especially when pared to the pitter-patter of the falling rain. It can create a protective canopy wide enough for two people to fit under and it performs well even in the heavy rain. The air shield (防护) can be cut through by high winds, but given that regular umbrellas typically fold over in similar windy conditions, the air umbrella is still an upgrade.A few concerns do remain, however. For instance, the battery life is only about 15-30 minutes depending on the model, so youll still want to walk briskly to your next destination when its raining. Also, while the air shield might keep the rain away from you, its likely to splash all that blown-away water onto anyone else like a sprinkler (洒水车). So the device might draw the ire of anyone else walking with you, or any helpless bystanders.There are currently three different types to choose from if youre interested in investing. Air Umbrella-A is the lightest model, and is apparently designed specifically for females, according to the Chinese developers. It is about 12 inches in length and weighs a little over a pound, and it runs for 15 minutes per charge. Air Umbrella-B measures nearly 20 inches long and weighs 1.7 pounds, and lasts 30 minutes per charge. Finally, Air Umbrella-C also lasts 30 minutes, but is scalable between 20 and 32 inches depending on your needs. 25. Why does the author mention a special driving experience in the first paragraph?A. To introduce the topic of the passage. B. To explain the need for an umbrella.C. To share a feeling with the readers. D. To prove a theory to the readers. 26. The Air Umbrella fails to work when _.A. there is little rain B. there is no wind C. it rains heavily D. the wind is strong 27. How does the author present concerns about the Air Umbrella?A. By giving figures. B. By giving examples. C. By making experiments. D. By making parisons. 28. The underlined word “ire” in the 4th paragraph probably means _.A. attention B. doubt C. curiosity D. anger CA pany has just launched what it calls “the worlds first free standardized English test” recently. Anyone can take the test for free. The new exam is called the EFSET, which is short for Education First Standardized English Test. The pany, Education First, is known by the letters EF. It is estimated that there are two billion English language learners worldwide. Many of them are interested in attending an American college or university. To do so, foreign students need to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language better known as TOEFL. However, many foreigners are not wealthy enough to take the TOEFL. In addition, test-takers often have to travel overnight to reach an official testing site. The World Bank says an average Cambodian worker earns only about $1,000 per year. Approximately the cost of taking the TOEFL is 17.5 percent of the average workers yearly wage. It is not just individuals who find the test pricey. Some governments also find it prohibitive. Whats more, not everyone needs official results from the TOEFL or IELTS the International English Language Testing System. In the future, its likely that the government may use the EFSET to test millions of employees and students. Experts believe that the EFSET meets the highest value in language testing. It uses special puter software that makes the questions easier or harder, depending on ones performance. The EFSET measures all the English learners levels while the IELTS and TOEFL only measure learners levels from moderate (中等的) to advanced. The EFSET is unique in the sense that it gives free online access to anyone interested in measuring their English level.There is a 50-minute and a two-hour version of the test, which its developers are calling the EFSET Plus. Both versions test only reading and listening skills. Its hopeful that speaking and writing skills will be tested in the future. The IELTS and the TOEFL still use humans to rate the speaking and writing sections. Its a huge deal for students who are in areas where they cant get to the TOEFL or the IELTS. However, it is too early to know whether the EFSET results are acceptable for colleges and universities in America. 29. Why do many foreign students take the TOEFL?A. To learn English well. B. To be admitted to key universities.C. To receive further education in America. D. To find good jobs and earn much money. 30. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. Only wealthy people can take the TOEFL. B. The cost of taking the TOEFL is very high.C. There are many official testing sites for the TOEFL around the world. D. Few of the students in Cambodia can afford to take the TOEFL. 31. What can we learn about the EFSET?A. It is similar to the TOEFL and the IELTS. B. Everybody with different English levels can take it for free. C. It tests the skills of reading, listening, writing and speaking. D. American universities accept the EFSET results for admission. 32. Whats the best title for the passage?A. How to get ready for the EFSET B. Different ways to test English learners in the world C. The new software developed by Education First D. The free EFSET an online test for English learners D SKYDIVE OVER BYRON BAYWhy jump with us?We are the only skydive centre in Byron Bay Australias most easterly point.

Two years before, our teacher, Mr. Li offered us an answer to a difficult math problem in class. Because the answer seemed a little strange, nobody but I doubted it. Thought that his solution might be wrong, I carefully analyzed the problem and try to work it out in a different way. Half an hour later, I managed to find the correct answer.
