13、解（共20小题;每小题2分，满分40分）AChristopher Thomas, 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin(胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage,
14、 blindness, and even death. And if that werent bad enough, he had no health insurance. After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided hed better find a way to fight back.

16、riting to kids from all over, says Swencki, one of the sites volunteers. They know what hes going through, so he doesnt feel alone.

Once the national holiday arrives, my mom rises early to m
23、ake the meal. She puts a turkey in the oven, chops carrots and bakes pies. Im sorry to say that the men in the family-my dad, my younger brother and myself-rarely pitch in to help. Our job is to wash the mountain of dirty dishes after the meal is over.Around 2 p.m. every Thanksgiving Day, family mem
24、bers seat themselves around the kitchen table. Plates of turkey, vegetables, salad, rolls and pies cover it. At this point, we can hardly keep ourselves from drooling (流口水) all over our fancy clothes, but its not yet time to eat.First, we must bow our heads, close our eyes and say a prayer of thanks
25、 aloud to God for giving us everything we have. Under normal circumstances, I would have no problem making a list of things I am thankful for. I grew up in a loving family. My parents, who arent wealthy, took out loads to help me for university.But, the funny thing is, every time I sit down for than
26、ksgiving dinner and try to say a prayer of thanks, my mind usually goes blank. I think it has something to do with my growling(咕咕叫) stomach and all of that food sitting right there under my nose.Eventually, though, we all finish our short prayers and dig in. To be sure, the day includes other highli
27、ghts-visiting with family and watching football. But usually around 6 p.m. we are all ourselves stuffed like turkeys and thankful to have a nice warm bed to sleep in.36. The purpose of the text is to _.A. tell what the family prepare for Thanksgiving Day.B. tell how the family spends Thanksgiving Da

30、g 40. What can we conclude from the text?A. On Thanksgiving Day, men do nothing but eatB. The author is a middle school studentC. The authors family is not rich, but its a loving one.D. Thanksgiving Day falls on the fourth Thursday of December.CWith large and small keyboards everywhere, neither chil
31、dren nor adults need to write much of anything by hand. Thats a big problem. Study after study suggests that handwriting is important for brain development helping kids get fine motor skills and learn to express and create ideas. Yet the time devoted to teaching penmanship in most schools has shrunk
32、 to just one hour a week. Is it time to give up handwriting? Have a look at the link between the brain and penmanship, and you may get the answer.A test among students in grades 2, 4 and 6 found that they not only wrote faster by hand than by keyboard, but also created more ideas when composing essa
33、ys with handwriting. And other research shows that the finger movements required to write by hand activate brain areas involved with thought, language, and short-term memory.A recent Indiana University study had one group of children practice writing letters by hand while a second group just looked
34、at those letters. Then, both groups of kids entered a functional MRI (核磁共振)that scanned their brains as the researchers showed them the same letters. Researchers found that the brain activity in the first group was far more advanced and “adult-like”.Handwriting also affects other peoples way they th
35、ink of adults and children. Several studies have shown that the same average essay will score much higher if written with good penmanship and much lower if written out in poor handwriting. These studies have also found that people judge the quality of a persons ideas based on his or her handwriting.
36、 And the consequences are real: On standardized tests with handwritten sections, like the SAT, all essay that is considered hard to recognize gets a big zero.Studies show that this isnt only an English-language phenomenon. Chinese and Japanese youths are suffering from “character amnesia”. They cant
37、 remember how to write characters, thanks to computers and text messaging. Some experts fear that Chinese writing and reading are so closely linked in the brain that Chinas reading ability as a nation could suffer.41. According to the passage, it can be learned that _.A. many researches have been do
38、ne on handwritingB. essays cant be composed without handwritingC. all children write faster by keyboard than by handD. most schools are trying to teach more handwriting42. What does the Indiana University study imply?A. Children should practice writing lettersB. Handwriting can increase brain activi
39、tyC. Its good for children to enter a functional MRI.D. Letters should often be shown to children43. What does the 4th paragraph mainly talk about?A. Handwriting affects both adults and children.B. Handwriting helps a person write better essays.C.SAT should be done with good handwriting.D. Good hand
40、writing makes a person seem smarter.44. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Essays written with keyboards will get lower scores.B. The quality of your ideas depends on your handwriting.C. Chinese and Japanese youths dont know how to write.D. Less handwriting may affect Chinas reading abilit
41、y.45. The passage tries to tell us that _.A. keyboards are more popular than handwritingB. we shouldnt judge people by their handwritingC. handwriting is of great importanceD. its time to give up using keyboardsDSomewhere before Ive heard the saying, “The best gift parents can ever give to their chi
42、ldren is to love each other.” Ive had the pleasure of witnessing the truth of this statement for over 40 years. From as far back as I can remember, Mom and Dad were a team, a great partnership. They were more than just a partnership. It was as if they were one person. They could drive us kids crazy
43、sometimes, because they were always together “against us.”They were really just together in their love “for us”, making sure their brood understood the difference between right and wrong and the foundational principles of honesty, trustworthiness, and respect. Sure, they argued (although, not that m
44、uch), but there was never any doubt in our minds that any disagreements would be worked through and resolved. Most of my friends, unfortunately, didnt feel that same sense of security when their folks argued.Mom and Dad began their married life poor, but they worked hard and, over the years, built a
45、 very successful business. They each had their strengths and weaknesses, but from the way they worked together, you never saw the weaknesses, just the strengths. Dad was the outgoing, more public person with whom people met and right away fell in love. Everyone knew Dad! Then, when they got to meet
46、Mom, they felt the exact same way about her as well. Mom, although not at all shy, was more comfortable being the person behind the scenes. More detail oriented, she ran the books and, according to Dad, she was the one who “really made the business work”.I remember one night at dinner I asked Dad ho
47、w much money he made. Dad simply replied, “I dont know. Mama handles all that.” I looked at Mom and asked, Is that true? Dad really doesnt know how much money he makes?” she replied, “Yes, he has never known, and he never asks.” All three of us kids looked at Dad for an explanation. His approach was
48、 a simple one: “If we want to buy something and Mama says we can afford it, we can afford it.”46. What can we know from the underlined sentence in the first paragraph?A. Parents love is the best gift to their children.B. Parents and their childrens loving each other is the best gift.C. Parents lovin
49、g each other is the best gift to their children.D. Childrens loving each other is the best gift to their parents.47. The writers parents sometimes could drive the kids crazy because .A. they loved them very much.B. they were always together “against them”C. they were a partnershipD. they were very s
50、trong.48. From the second paragraph we know that the writers parents .A. never arguedB. sometimes argued but not that much C. often arguedD. argued like other parents49. Which of the following could best describe the writers father?A. Considerate B. Open-minded C. Shy D. Outgoing50. What can we infe
