20、 2 分， 满分30分 ）A Nick Vujicic was born with no arms or legs, but he doesnt let this stop him. The brave 26-year-old man plays football and golf, and swims, in spite of the fact that he has no arms or legs. Nick has a small foot on his left side, which helps him balance and makes him able to kick. He u
21、ses his one foot to type, write with a pen and pick things up. “I call it my chicken drumstick (鸡腿下段),” joked Nick, who was born in Melbourne, Australia, but now lives in Los Angeles. “Id be lost without it. When I get in the water I float because 80 percent of my body is lungs and my drumstick acts
22、 as a propeller (螺旋桨).”“Hes very modest, but he gets marriage proposals (求婚) from women all the time,” said Nicks friend Steve Appel.“He would love to get married and start a family, but hes waiting for the right girl to come along.”When Nick was born his father was so shocked that he left the hospi
23、tal room. His distraught mother couldnt bring herself to hold him until he was four months old. His disability came without any medical explanation, which was a rare case. Nick and his parents spent many years asking why this cruel trick would happen to them. “My mother was a nurse and she did every
24、thing right during pregnancy but she still blamed herself,” he said.“It was so hard for them, but right from the start they did their best to make me independent. My dad put me in the water at 18 months and gave me the courage to learn how to swim.” 56. We can learn from the text that Nick _.A. has

34、Tokyo to Kyoto, a distance of 500 km. Now Evolta, Panasonics 7-inch Humanoid Robot is getting ready for his biggest challenge the Ironman Triathlon (铁人三项) Championship in Hawaii.To compete in this exhausting contest, the green & white robot which is small enough to fit on a human palm, will have to
35、swim 2.4 miles in the rough ocean, bike 112 miles across the hot Hawaiian desert and, run a full marathon distance of 26.2 miles in the painfully hot weather.Given that he is so tiny and powered by rechargeable batteries (充电电池) of Panasonic, he will be allowed some freedom in the way he competes. Fo
36、r one, he will be starting the race on October 23rd, 2011, three weeks following the real event and, while human competitors have at most 17 hours to complete the triathlon, Evolta will be given 7 days, during which his only “breaks” will be to recharge his batteries.The biggest difference however,
37、will be that unlike a single human body doing all three races, there will be three different “Evolta” robot bodies competing each built for the specific race. Evolta the swimmer will be equipped with special arms to swim forward. Evolta the biker, will be on a little two-wheeler with training wheels
38、, while Evolta the runner, will be fixed on what looks like a wheel.In spite of all these advantages, the robots creator Tomotaka Takahashi believes that the race will be a huge challenge not only will Evolta have to battle the wind and sun, but also, small road obstacles (障碍) that humans just step
39、over. The water will be even worse thanks to the strong waves, tides and ocean winds. But if he does complete it, Evolta will add another feather in his cap and just prove the already well-known fact that Panasonics rechargeable Evolta batteries are indeed the “worlds longest-lasting batteries”! 63.
40、 When competing in the triathlon, Evolta _. A. has to finish the competition in 17 hoursB. will be allowed to have a break from time to timeC. will start three weeks earlier than other competitorsD. will have three specially-built bodies for the competition64. By saying “Evolta will add another feat
41、her in his cap”, the author means _.A. Evolta will celebrate the victory with a feather capB. Evolta will become very famous and attractiveC. Evolta will be awarded with another feather capD. Evolta will have another thing to be proud of 65. From the text, we can infer that Evolta will take part in
42、the competition to _.A. challenge human runnersB. prove the potential of robotsC. market Panasonics batteries D. show todays advanced technology66. The text is mainly about a robot _. A. using the energy-efficient batteriesB. accomplishing a challenging triathlonC. winning human athletes for the fir
43、st timeD. competing in the Ironman Triathlon Championship DIn meditation(冥想)，people sit quietly and focus their attention on their breath. As they breathe in and out, they attend to their feelings. As thoughts go through their minds, they let them go. Breathe. Let go. Breathe. Let go. According to a
44、 recent study at the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts. three months of training in this kind of meditation causes a marked change in how the brain allocates(分配) attention. It appears that the ability to let go thoughts that come into mind frees the brain to attend to more rapidly c
45、hanging things and events in the outside world. Expert mediators are better than other people at catching such fastchanging stimuli (刺激), like facial expressions.The study provides evidence for changes in the workings of the brain with mental training. People can learn and improve abilities of all s
46、orts with practice, everything from driving to playing the piano. The study has shown that meditation is good for the brain. It appears to reduce pressure and promote a sense of well-being.In an experiment, 17 volunteers with no meditation experience in the experimental group spent three months medi
47、tating 10 to 12 hours a day. A control group also with no meditation experience meditated for 20 minutes a day over the same period. Both groups were then given the tests with two numbers in a group of letters. As both group looked for the numbers, their brain activity was recorded.Everyone could ca
48、tch the first number. But the brain recordings showed that the less experienced mediators tended to grasp the first number and hang onto it, so they missed the second number. Those with more experience gave less attention to the first number, as if letting it go, which led to an increased ability to
49、 grasp the second number. This shows that attention can change with practice.Just ask Daniel Levision, who meditated for three months as part of the study. “I am a much better listener,” he said. “I do not get lost in my own personal reaction to what people are saying.”67. The underlined word “them”
50、 in Paragraph 1 refers to .A. feelings B. minds C. people D. thoughts68. Meditations manage their daily tasks better because they .A. are given less pressure B. allocate their attention better C. have more stimuli for life D. practice them more frequently69 In the experiment, volunteers doing medita
51、tion for longer hours .A. were more likely to catch both of the numbers. B. were used to memorizing numbers in groups. C. usually ignored the first number observed. D. paid more attention to numbers than to letters.70. The study proves that . A. meditation improves ones health B. brain activity can
52、be recorded C. human attention can be trained D. mediators have a good sense of hearing五、 单词拼写 (共10小题; 每小题1分,满分10分)71. At last he _(辞职) from his post and went back to Changsha.72.
