They were bright, enthusiastic and as keen to 21 life as any other child. All, 22 , had a serious disability. Three were in 23 , one was nearly blind and two were only able to walk with difficulty due to cerebral palsy （脑瘫）. The seventh little boy I will 24 forget. I will call him Matthew. He too had cerebral palsy and was very badly affected. His hands and arms were both ugly 25 the disease. His back was bent. His face was twisted and his legs did not work. Even his laughter was more like a 26 . To speak, Matthew had the help of a letter board. 27 , and with determination, he would point out with twisted hands, letter by letter, 28 he wanted to say. Sometimes he would try to talk. His voice was so strange that even his 29 caretaker could not understand most of his whispered growl （低吼声）. Yet he was always bright and 30 and loved to try everything his classmates were doing, both in the boat and in the classroom. One day the sailing centre was stricken by a storm and we decided to work in a classroom. All the children 31 . Just like other children they all wanted to answer the questions I asked. Often they would loudly interrupt each other, 32 to get an answer in before one of the others. But 33 Matthew wanted to answer a question it was different. 34 they all quieted. Matthew whispered and gestured at his board. They waited. Matthew struggled with persistence until the answer was 35 . Then, if I did not understand, 36 of the other children would work with him until the answer was 37 . When Matthew had answered his question the children were, almost magically, transformed back into a group of noisy and enthusiastic children. I learned the biggest lesson in my life from them. All of these children were heroes in their own 38 . At just fourteen years old, these disabled children had learned to afford care, 39 and help to someone less fortunate than themselves. 40 the rest of the world were able to learn the same lesson, prejudice, violence and intolerance would be gone. 21.A. treatB. enjoyC. liveD. spend22.A. howeverB. thereforeC. otherwiseD. anyway23.A. bedB. troubleC. wheelchairsD. shape24.A. rarelyB. oftenC. neverD. seldom25.A. byB. toC. atD. from26.A. smileB. songC. trickD. cough27.A.

No doubt it began very gradually. Animals have a few cries that serve as signals, but even the highest apes （猿） have not been found able to pronounce words, even with the most intensive professional instruction. The superior brain of man is apparently a necessity for the mastering of speech. When man became intelligent enough, we must suppose that he gradually increased the number of cries for different purposes. It was a great day when he discovered that speech could be used for describing and telling stories. There are those who think in this respect picture language appeared before oral language. A man could draw a picture on the wall of his cave to show in which direction he had gone, or what prey he hoped to catch. Probably picture language and oral language developed side by side. I prefer to think that language has been the most important single factor in the development of man.Two important stages came not so long before the dawn of written history. The first was the domestication （驯化） of animals. The second was agriculture. Agriculture was a step in human progress to which there was nothing comparable until our own machine age. Agriculture made possible a huge increase in the number of the human species in the regions where it could be successfully practiced. These were, at first, only those in which nature fertilized the soil after each harvest. Agriculture met with violent resistance from the pastoral nomads （游牧民族）, but the agricultural way of life was accepted in the end because of the physical comforts it provided.Another fundamental technical advance was writing, which, like spoken language, developed out of pictures, but as soon as it had reached a certain stage, it was possible to keep records and transmit information to people who were not present when the information was given.These inventions and discoveriesfire, speech, weapons, domestic animals, agriculture, and writingmade the existence of civilized communities possible. From about 3000 B. C. until the beginning of the Industrial Revolution less than two hundred years ago there was no technical advance comparable to these. During this long period man had time to become accustomed to his technique, and to develop the beliefs and political organizations appropriate to it. There was, of course, a big extension in the area of civilized life. At first it had been confined to the Nile, the Euphrates, the Tigris and the Indus, but at the end of the period in question it covered much the greater part of the inhabitable （适合居住的） globe. I do not mean to suggest that there was no technical progress during this long time; there was progressthere were even two inventions of very great importance, namely gunpowder and the compassbut neither of these can be compared in their power to such things as speech and writing and agriculture.41. According to the above passage, we can conclude that _.A. the use of fire and the domestication of animals made agriculture possibleB. progress was probably very slow when language first came into beingC. gunpowder and the compass are as important as speech in historyD. communication is the most important factor for human development42. According to the article, agriculture _.A. was accepted as soon as it appearedB. is as great a step forward as our machine ageC. helped improve the techniques of domesticationD. at first helped make the land more suitable for crops43. From the article we can learn that _.A. weapons and agriculture are what speech and physical comforts are based onB. the origin of the language can be clearly understood by studying apes behaviorsC. the reason why animals have no language may be that they are not clever enoughD. the agricultural way of life helps a lot in the development of written language44. Which is the right order of the appearance of the following things （a to e）? a. agricultureb. weaponsc. domestication of animalsd. written languagee. political organizationsA. c, a, d, b, eB. e, b, c, d, aC. b, a, c, d, eD. b, c, a, d, e 45. Which of the following is the best title of the article?A. The Development of CivilizationB. Speech and CivilizationC. The Origin of LanguageD. The First Two StagesBBelow are brief introductions to three books:Life Strategies for Teens“Life Strategies for Teens” is the first guide to teenage life that wont tell you what to do, or who to be, but rather how to live life best. Employing the techniques from Dr. Phillip C. McGraws “Life Strategies,” his son Jay provides teens with the Ten Laws of Life, which make the journey to adulthood an easier and more fulfilling trip. Whether dealing with the issues of popularity, peer pressure, or ambition, “Life Strategies for Teens” is an enlightening guide to help teenagers not only stay afloat, but to thrive during these important years. Whether you are a teen looking for a little help, or a parent or grandparent wanting to provide guidance, this book tackles the challenges of adolescence like no other. Combining proven techniques for dealing with lifes obstacles and the youth and wisdom of writer Jay McGraw, “Life Strategies for Teens” is sure to improve the lives of all who read it.From School Library JournalPreSchool-Grade 1This picture dictionary is intended to introduce children to basic words and concepts. It begins with four pages that show the mischievous monkey receiving the book as a birthday present and learning to use it. The pages that follow have six words each and include abstract ideas such as “far,” “some,” and “before.” The definitions are provided through pictures and simple sentences （although some terms, like “ant,” “bag,” and “dress,” have only a picture）. When a word has two meanings, for example, “can” and “wave,” it has two entries: “The beans are in a can” and “George can paint.” Illustrations are done in the style of H. A. Reys work. This book has use as a resource to introduce the idea of a dictionary, and kids may learn some new words in the process. But from the library shelf, theyre likely to choose the traditional stories instead.My Answer is No . If Thats Okay With YouAre you afraid youll hurt the people you care about if you say NO to them? Can you set limits when employees neglect their responsibilities? How about with your boss? When friends ask you to do something you dont want to do, do you invent an elaborate （精心准备的） excuse? Do you have a hard time saying NO to an invitation even when youre completely exhausted? Do you have trouble even practicing the sentence “No, Mom, I just cant make it home this holiday”? If any of these scenarios （情况） sound familiar, keep reading - you need this book. No is a very simple word - two letters, one syllable. Yet many women have a hard time saying it without feeling anxious or guilty. “In My Answer Is NO.If Thats Okay with You,” award-winning psychiatrist （精神病学家） and author Dr. Nanette Gartrell takes a fresh look at why even the most powerful, accomplished, and successful women find it difficult to say no and offers a revolutionary approach to setting limits without harming important relationships. 46.

From School Library Journal is a popular story bookC. abstract words are too difficult for children to learnD. many females feel guilty when they refuse othersCWild ducks and other birds could be important carriers of deadly bird flu, researchers say. Even so, experts say there is no solid basis for killing wild birds to protect poultry （家禽） and reduce the risk of human infection.The European team researching into the global spread of the H5N1 bird flu says certain duck species may be infecting wild bird populations. Geese and water birds are also possible vectors （带菌者）of the virus, the team says.The teams study was led by Bjrn Olsen of Umea University in Sweden. Olsen runs Europes largest wild-bird flu monitoring program.Studies have shown that bird flu viruses in lake water, generally passed through bird waste, can stay infectious for up to 30 days. The migration or feeding behavior of dabbling ducks could at least partly explain the spread of the H5N1bird flu, the researchers add.This group of duck species includes mallards, pintails, and others that feed at or near the surface, where viruses in water are most likely to be picked up. Perhaps as a result, dabbling ducks have the highest known rates of bird flu infection, the study says. For instance, nearly 13 percent of mallards tested positive for bird flu. Other species tested include the American black duck （18.1 percent）, and northern pintail （11.2 percent）.However, it seems that bird flu viruses existing in ducks doesnt usually lead to severe illness and death. “Dabbling ducks are for sure the most important hosts for such viruses,” said study co-author Ron Fouchier, a scientist at the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, Netherlands. “But the big question is, how can we make sure that those low-risk viruses wont become very dangerous ones in the future?”In poultry bird flu viruses can change into more dangerous strains（型）, including H5N1. If this virus then finds its way back into wild populations, the birds could then spread the disease through migration （迁徙）.Some scientists have argued that wild birds infected with H5N1 would be too ill to migrate. Swans, for instance, appear to be particularly vulnerable to H5N1. “Swans apparently drop dead quite easily, but they are unlikely to be the vector because they are not going to fly very far if they are dead,” Fouchier said.But the study team says that some birds that have been purposely infected in the research show that wild birds can survive H5N1. “For some reason H5N1 has adapted so it no longer kills dabbling ducks,” Fouchier said. This means the ducks may be able to spread the virus over a wide area.The study team says geese may also be vectors, because they often feed in huge groups, a practice that could encourage the spread of the virus.Wild ducks, the researchers add, “could provide an intercontinental bridge” for bird flu to North America, which has not yet had any known cases of H5N1.50.According to the experts, _.A. its important and necessary to kill wild ducksB. there are already cases in which humans are infectedC. theres not enough evidence to support killing wild birdsD. bird flu viruses in the lake water can be easily picked up by poultry51. Swans are used as an example in the passage to show that _.A. they should be protected from bird fluB. H5N1 is very dangerous to some wild birdsC. swans are as dangerous as ducks in spreading bird fluD. infected wild birds may not be able to spread H5N1 too much52. One of the reasons why dabbling ducks may be able to spread H5N1 widely is that _.A. they often feed in the waterB. viruses will not change among themC. H5N1 is no longer deadly to themD. viruses are passed through bird waste53. Whats the possible meaning of the underlined word “vulnerable ” in Paragraph 8?A. Easily attacked or hurt.B. Severe and serious.C. Powerful but sensitive.D. Dangerous and frightening.54.It can be inferred from the above passage that _.A. bird flu viruses can only survive a very short time once they leave the birdsB. there is a risk that birds in North America will be infected with H5N1C. geese play the most important role in spreading H5N1 among poultryD. therere more bird flu viruses in the deep water than at the surfaceDThe opening scene of The Kings Speech was, in a word, terrifying. The moment King George VIwonderfully played by Colin Firthstepped up to the microphone at Wembley Stadium, a rush of nervousness came over me. It took me back to my school days, standing at my desk, having to read aloud to the class. I whispered to my wife, Jill, “A stutterer（口吃者）wrote this screenplay（剧本）.I grew up with a stutter, really afraid of trying to get through simple sentencesknowing that I would then, or later, be laughed at. I still remember the reading when I was in 7th grade at St. Helenas: “Sir Walter Raleigh was a gentleman” I remember reciting, “Sir Walter Raleigh was a gentlema
