Peoples mail got wet whenever it rained, so Goodyear was trying to make a canvas bag that was covered in rubber. But the rubber always fell off easily since it was either too soft or too hard. Discouraged by his failed attempts, one day Goodyear shook a spoonful of sticky rubber, and a small drop of it landed on the hot stove. When he got the rubber off the stove, he realized the heat had changed it. The rubber was now strong and flexible. Goodyears discovery not only helped him make his canvas and rubber mailbag, it also led to the invention of canvas shoes with rubber soles（鞋底）that we call sneakers.When a new brand called Keds hit the market in 1917, the name “sneakers” was born. Other shoes at this time were still clunky, so they made a lot of noise as people walked. But the rubber soles on Keds made it possible for people to walk very quietly. Wearing these noiseless shoes, a person could pass by without being heard.For many years, people wore sneakers only when playing sports. Sneakers became part of the youth culture. A famous actor named James Dean was photographed wearing sneakers, jeans, and a white T-shirt. Teenagers everywhere wanted to copy the look. Wearing sneakers was a way for young people to express themselves. Pretty soon, sneakers werent just for the playing field or the tennis court. People wore them just about anywhere: to school, the office, and even parties.21. Why was it difficult to make a waterproof mailbag? A. The rubber had to be heated to a very high temperature. B. There was not enough canvas at that time. C. It took a lot of money to make such a bag. D. Sticking the rubber onto the canvas was not easy.22. The underlined word “clunky” in Paragraph2 could best be replaced by “_”. A. ugly B. strong C. cheap D. heavy23. In the 1950s, teenagers attitude towards sneakers might be _. A. doubtful B. cautious C. uninterested D. positive24. The main purpose of the text is to _. A. stress the importance of shoes B. tell the story of sneakers C. introduced Charles Goodyear D. show how a mailbag was madeBMy friend Mike was shaking his head in disbelief. That young woman who just waited on me, he said, pointing to an employee of the fast food restaurant where we were eating, had to call someone over to help her count change. The cash register (收银机) showed her I needed 99 cents, but she couldnt figure out how to count out the coins.” I understood Mikes concern. What we have done is to create several generations of individuals most of whom have no idea how to reason; how to do simple math; how to do research; or, finally, how to be creative. The reason for this is our overuse of information technology: video games, television, digital watches, calculators, and puters. Information technology feeds us information without requiring us to think about it and let us perform operations without understanding them. It is time we took a hard look at an educational system that only teaches our children how to push buttons. Our kids cant tell time if the clock has hands. They can use calculators, but cannot add, subtract（减）, divide, or multiply. Video games have taken the place of active, imaginative play. Although most of them are technically educated, they choose not to read. They are so used to television and movies that they cannot use their imagination to stay interested in a book. Therefore, we must do something to help our children. If we dont, they will never learn how to solve problems. They will never learn even basic reasoning skills and will certainly not develop creativity. Instead of filling classrooms with electronics, lets concentrate on good old-fashioned literacy reading books. Students must see how things work and how processes lead to results, and they must also stretch their imagination.25. What was the employees problem? A. She couldnt operate the cash register. B. She forgot to count change. C. She couldnt solve simple math problems.D. She was in need of coins for customer.26. According to the text, Mike worries that _. A. information technology is developing too fast. B. many restaurants do not provide good service C. we are creating people who cannot think for themselves D. modern technology feeds us with too much information27. Whats probably the authors suggestion about childrens problem? A. To get them off TV and puter games. B. To teach them how to learn from video games. C. To turn off all electronic equipment at school. D. To give them freedom in the use of puters.28. We can learn from the text that the author believes _. A. calculators help children expand their imagination B. reading benefits children more than electronics do C. theres no place for electronics in the classroom D. information technology does us a lot of goodCThe Lumire brothers, Auguste and Louis, were son of well-known artist Antoine Lumire. Both of them had a natural talent for science and were educated at Lyons largest technical school, La Martiniere.Antoine was often up to date with the latest developments in the photography industry of those times. Assisted by his sons, he started a business that produced and sold photographic equipment. In 1881, young Louis developed a dry-plate （干版）technique for still-photography. Soon afterwards a factory was built to produce the plates.By 1894 the Lumires were producing around 15,000,000 plates a year. Antoine, by now a successful businessman, was invited to watch how Thomas Edisons Peephole Kinetoscope worked It was actually an early movie camera. Upon his return with a copy of the Kinetoscopes film, Antoine encouraged his sons to work on developing a cheaper alternative.The brothers worked through the winter of 1894. They recognized two main problems with Edisons invention: the Kinetograph was a large piece of machinery, which resigned it to the workroom; the viewer （底片看片器）meant that only one person could experience the films at a time. Within a year, the Cinematographe was born. It was much smaller and could be viewed by larger audiences.Louis came up with a new design for moving the film inside their Cinematoscope. He was inspired by the irregular movement of a sewing machine, as it would allow each frame to be stationary （停止的）just long enough. To achieve this, he created tiny holes along the sides of the film strip（胶卷）, and using a short thin piece of wire, he fastened the film to the machines motor. A continuous display of frames would then give the illusion （错觉）of movement.Their first film was Workers Leaving the Lumire Factory, which showed workers at their factory leaving at the end of the day. Another film The Arrival of a Train showed that a train pulls into a station, and the passengers go back and forth on the platform. They took a few more such films like Babys Breakfast, The Gardener, etc.29. The dry-plate technique Louis developed _. A. was thought little of by teachers from La Lumire B. led to much of the success of his fathers business C. made him famous around the world overnight D. had received much support from Edison30. According to the text, the Cinematographe _. A. allowed many people to watch a film at the same time. B. was presented to the public in the winter of 1894 C. was larger than Edisons Peephole Kinetoscope D. had nothing to do with a sewing machine31. The fifth paragraph is mainly about _. A. how a sewing machine functioned B. how the Cinematographe was created C. the illusion of movement D. the use of film strips32. What would be the best title for the text? A. The Lumire brothers: pioneers of cinema B. The peephone Kinetoscope C. The characteristics of early silent films D. The inventions of Thomas EdisonDWele to Crumland FarmsIn 1940, John and Lib Crum bought some land on Opossumtown Pike in Frederick, Maryland.

The first remains of such an animal were unearthed in Oxford shire, England, in 1822. 36 In 1822, the remains of a plant-eating dinosaur were found in England by Dr. And Mrs. Gideon Mantell. The Mantells were traveling in Sussex, and made a stop near Cuckfield so that Dr. Mantell could attend to a patient. 37 She noticed some teeth sticking out of the ground, and then showed them to her husband. Although he was a fossil collector, he had never seen anything like them before. He sent them to an expert in Paris to find out which animal they came from.The expert considered them the upper front teeth of a rhino. 38 Then he took the fossils to the Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons, in London. There, they were pared with the teeth of a South American iguana（鬣蜥蜴）. They were much larger than the iguanas teeth, but the similarity was unmistakable. 39 Dr. Mantell spent five years searching for more evidence of iguanodon. Eventually he found part of a skeleton, and from it a life-size model was built and displayed. 40 In that year, some Belgian coal miners found a hole into which 31 iguanodons had fallen to their deaths millions of years ago. Their skeletons helped scientists to reconstruct a more accurate model of Iguanodon.A. Dr. Mantell refused to believe this.B. Mrs. Mantell wandered into the trees nearby.C. Iguanodon lived about 135 to 125 million years ago.D. It was not until 1878 that the model was discovered to be wrong.E. Some dinosaurs walked on two legs while others walked on four.F. Dr. Mantell decided, therefore, to call his discovery “Iguanodon”.G. Since then, over 800 remains of dinosaurs have been discovered and studied.第三部分：语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第1节 ：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。My younger brother Jonathan is a handsome and energetic 26-year-old.
