She announced that my brother and I could only watch two or three 25 TV programs during the week. With our free time, we had to read two books each week from the Detroit Public Library and 26 written book report to her. She would mark them up with check marks and 27 the important parts. Years later we realized it was a 28 to see her marks on our written book reports. Mother was actually illiterate (文盲). Although we had no money, 29 the covers of those books, I could go anywhere, do anything and be anybody. When I entered high school I was an A-student, but not for 30 . I wanted the fancy clothes.

She said, “Okay, Ill give you the money I 33 this week by rubbing floors and cleaning bathrooms, and you can buy the family food and pay the bills. With 34 left over, you can have all that you want.” I was very 35 with that arrangement. But once I got through 36 money, there was nothing left.

But no one knows what time itself is. One way to think about time is to imagine a world without time. But there could be no movement, because time and movement cannot be separated.In early human history, the only changes that seemed to repeat themselves evenly were the movements of objects in the sky. The most easily seen result of these movements was the difference between light and darkness. The sun rises in the eastern sky, producing light. It moves across the sky and sinks in the west, causing darkness. The appearance and disappearance of the sun was even and unfailing. The periods of light and darkness it created were the first accepted periods of time. We have named each period of light and darkness one day. People saw the sun rise higher in the sky during the summer than in winter. They counted the days that passed from the suns highest position until it returned to that position. They counted 365 days. We now know that is the time Earth takes to move once around the sun. We call this period of time a year.They also developed a way to use the changing faces of the moon to tell time. The moon was “full” when its face was bright and round. The early humans counted the number of times the sun appeared between full moons. They learned that this number always remained the same-about 29 suns. We now know this period of time as one month.Early humans hunted animals and gathered wild plants. They moved in groups or tribes form place to place in search of good. Then, people learned to plant seeds and grow crops. As hunters, people did not need a way to measure time. As farmers, however, they had to plant crops in time to harvest them before winter. They had to know when the seasons would change. So, they developed calendars.No one knows when the first calendar was developed. But it seems possible that it was based on moons, or lunar months.41. The underlined word “unfailing” (in para.2) is closest in meaning to “_”.A. reliable B. everlastingC. limitedD. changing42. Which of the following is NOT the method early people used to tell time?A. Sun position B. Sun lightnessC. Moon shapeD. Planting crops43. Why did people invent the first calendar to measure time?A. Because early humans hunted animals and gathered wild plants.B. Because early farmers had to grow and harvest crops in time.C. Because early people had to search for food in groups.D. Because early humans moved in groups or tribes from place to place.44. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Why early people developed calendars is not clearB. When the first calendar was developed remains unknown.C. What early people based the first calendar on is certain.D. How early people counted a day is still unknown.45. It can be concluded from the text that _.A. time and movement are loosely related even at present daysB. the light and darkness differences of the sun were the only movements in skyC. the period of twenty-nine suns is called one monthD. early humans first accepted periods of time created by the moon.BIve been writing for most of my life. The book Writing Without Teachers introduced me to one distinction and one practice that has helped my writing processes greatly. The distinction is between the creative mind and the critical mind. While you need to employ both to get to a finished result, they cannot work in parallel no matter how much we might like to think so.Trying to criticize writing on the fly is possibly the single greatest barrier to writing that most of us meet with. If you are listening to that 5th grade English teacher correct your grammar while you are trying to seize a fleeting(稍纵即逝的) thought, the thought will die. If you capture the fleeting thought and simply share it with the world in raw form, no one is likely to understand. You must learn to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing the tool for thinking that it is.The practice that can help you pass your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what Elbow calls “free writing”. In free writing, the objective is to get words down on paper non-stop, usually for 15-20 minutes. No stopping, no going back, no criticizing. The goal is to get the words flowing. As the words begin to flow, the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be captured on your notepad or your screen.Now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that youve persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly. Most likely, you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the pages as the deadline draws near.Instead of staring at a blank screen start filling it with words no matter how bad. Halfway through your available time, stop and rework your raw writing into something closer to finished product. Move back and forth until you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than your current practices.46. When the author says the creative mind and the critical mind “cannot work in parallel” (Line 4, Para. 1) in the writing process, he means _.A. no one can be both creative and criticalB. they cannot be regarded as equally importantC. they are in constant conflict with each otherD. one cannot use them at the same time47. What prevents people from writing on is _.A. putting their ideas in raw formB. attempting to edit as they writeC. ignoring grammatical soundnessD. trying to capture fleeting thoughts48. What is the chief objective of the first stage of writing?A. To organize ones thoughts logically. B. To choose an appropriate topic.C. To get ones ideas down. D. To collect raw materials.49. One common concern of writers about “free writing” is that _.A. it overstresses the role of the creative mindB. it takes too much time to edit afterwardsC. it may bring about too much criticismD. it does not help them to think clearly50. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. It introduces the authors writing method.B. It tells us something about the creative mind. C. It stresses the importance of critical mind.D. It shows the difficulties to write on the fly.CToday, theres hardly an aspect of our life that isnt being upended(颠覆) by the tons of information available on the hundreds of millions of sites crowding the Internet, not to mention its ability to keep us in constant touch with each other via electronic mail. “If the automobile and aerospace technology had exploded at the same pace as computer and information technology,” says Microsoft, “a new car would cost about $ 2 and go 600 miles on a small quantity of gas. And you could buy a Boeing 747 for the cost of a pizza.”Probably the biggest payoff, however, is the billions of dollars the Internet is saving companies in producing goods and serving for the needs of their customers. Nothing like it has been seen since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, when power-driven machines began producing more in a day than men could turn out in nearly a year. “We view the growth of the Internet and e-commerce as a global trend,” says Merrill Lynch, “along the lines of printing press, the telephone, the computer, and electricity.”You would be hard pressed to name something that isnt available on the Internet. Consider: books, health care, movie tickets, construction materials, baby clothes, stocks, cattle feed, music, electronics, antiques, tools, real estate, toys, autographs of famous people, wine and airline tickets. And even after youve moved on to your final resting place, theres no reason those you love cant keep in touch. A company called FinalThoughts.com offers a place for you to store “afterlife e-mails” you can send to Heaven with the help of a “guardian angel”.Kids today are so computer literate that it in fact ensures the United States will remain the unchallenged leader in cyberspace for the foreseeable(能预测的) future. Nearly all children in families with incomes of more than $75,000 a year have home computers, according to a study by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation. Youngsters from ages 2 to 17 at all income levels have computers, with 52% of those connected to the Internet. Most kids use computers to play games (some for 30 hours or more a week), and many teenage girls think nothing of rushing home from school to have e-mail chats with friends they have just left.Whats clear is that, whether we like it or not, the Internet is an ever growing part of our lives and there is no turning back. “The Internet is just 20% invented,” says cyber pioneer Jake Winebaum. “The last 80% is happening now.”51. What can we learn from the Microsofts remark? A. Todays cars and airplanes are extremely overpriced. B. Information technology is developing at an amazing speed. C. Information technology has reached the point where improvement is difficult. D. Theres more competition in information technology industry than in car industry.52. The author gives the example of FinalThoughts.com to make the point that_.A. there are some genius ideas on the Internet B. almost anything is available on the Internet C. people can find good bargains on the Internet D. some websites provide novel services to increase hits53. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph? A. There is a link between income and computer ownership. B. Many American children dont put computers to good use. C. Studies show that boys are more computer literate than girls. D. The U.S. will stay ahead in the information technology in years.54. Which sentence has the phrase that possesses the same meaning as the one underlined in the fifth paragraph? A. Some can tell you that he has changed their lives, while others think nothing of him.B. Think nothing of it. It was my pleasure.C. He thinks nothing of staying up all night in the Caf bar.D. He thinks nothing of the pain in his back for the moment.55. What is the message the author intends to convey? A. The Internet is going to get firm hold of our lives some day. B. The Internet is going to influence our lives even more greatly. C. We should have a positive attitude towards the changes the Internet brings. D. Children should be well prepared for the challenges in the information age.DHans was an honest fellow with a funny round good-humored face. Living alone, every day he worked in his garden. In all the countryside there was no garden so lovely as his. All sorts of flowers grew there, blooming in their proper order as the months went by, one flower taking another flowers place, so that there were always beautiful things to see, and pleasant odors to smell.Hans had many friends, the most devoted being the Miller. So devoted was the rich Miller to Hans that hed never go by his garden without plucking a large bunch of flowers or a handful of sweet herbs, or filling his pockets with fruits. The Miller used to talk about noble ideas, and Hans nodded and smiled, feeling proud of having such a friend. The neighbors thought it strange that the rich Miller never gave Hans anything in return, though he had hundreds of sacks of flour, many cows and sheep, but Hans never troubled his head about these, and nothing gave him greater pleasure than to listen to all the wonderful things about the unselfishness of true friendship. In spring, summer, and autumn Hans was very happy, but when winter came, and he had no fruit or flowers to sell, he suffered from cold and hunger. Though extremely lonely, the Miller never came to see him then. “Theres no good in going to see Hans while the snow lasts.” The Miller said to his wife, “When people are in trouble they shouldnt be bothered. So Ill wait till the spring comes when hes happy to give me flowers.” “Youre certainly very thoughtful,” answered his wife, “Its quite a treat to hear you talk about friendship.” “Couldnt we ask Hans up here?” said their son. “Ill give him half my meal, and show him my white rabbits.” “How silly you are!” cried the Miller. “I really dont know whats the use of sending you to school. If Hans came up here, and saw our warm fire, our good supper, and our red wine, he might get envious, and envy is a most terrible thing, and would spoil anybodys nature. I am his best friend, and Ill always watch over him, and see that hes not led into any temptation. Besides, if Hans came here, he might ask me for some flour. Flour is one thing, and friendship is another, and they shouldnt be confused. The words are spelt differently, and mean quite different things. Everybody can see that.” He looked seriously at his son, who felt so ashamed that he hung his head down, and grew quite scared, and began to cry into his tea. Spring coming, the Miller went down to see Hans. Again he talked about friendship. “Hans, friendship never forgets. Im afraid you dont understand the poetry of life. See, how lovely your roses are!”
