He was severely disabled and very short, and when we would walk together, his hand on m
10、y arm for balance, people would stare. If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never let it on.It was difficult to coordinate(协调)our steps-his slow, mine impatient-and because of that, we didnt say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace, I will try to adjust t
11、o you.”He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a “good heart”, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people
12、, even though I still dont know accurately what a “good heart” is. But I know the times I dont have one myself.Unable to engage in many activities, my father still tried to participate(参加) in some way. I now know he participated in some things indirectly through me, his only son. When I played ball(
13、poorly),he “played” too. When I joined the navy ,he “joined” too. And when I came home on leave ,he saw to it that I visited his office. Introducing me, he was really saying, “This is my son, but it is also me, and I could have done this, too, if things had been different.”Those words were never sai
14、d aloud.He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my unwillingness to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I complain about small affairs, when I a
15、m envious of anothers good fortune, when I dont have a “good heart”.At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance, and say, “You set the pace, I will try to adjust to you.”21.The author felt unhappy walking with his father because_.A. he was pitiful for his fathers physical disability

19、 Buck(18921973)was born in Hillsboro, West Virginia. She grew up in China, but was educated at Randolph-Macon Womans College. After her graduation she returned to China and lived there until 1934 with the exception of a year spent at Cornell University, where she took an MA in 1926.Pearl Buck began
20、to write in the twenties; her first novel, East Wind; West Wind, appeared in 1930.It was followed by The Good Earth (1931),Sons(1932),and A House Divided(1935),together forming a trilogy(三部曲)on the stories of the family of Wang.

She also published The first Wife and Other Stories(1933),All Men are Brothers(1933),The Mother(1934),and This Proud Heart(1938).The biographies(传记)of her mother and father, The Exile and Fighting Angel

26、rk28.In which part of a magazine would you probably read the passage? A. People B. Politics C. Travel D. BusinessCSports shoes that work out whether their owner has enough exercise to warrant time in front of the television have been devised in the UK. The shoes named Square Eyes contain an electron
27、ic pressure sensor and a tiny computer chip to record how many steps the wearer has taken in a day. A wireless transmitter passes the information to a receiver connected to a television, and this decides how much evening viewing time the wearer deserves, based on the days efforts. The design was ins
28、pired by a desire to fight against the rapidly ballooning waistlines among British teenagers, says Gillian Swan, who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project at Brunel University to London, UK. “We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out,” she says. “And I want
29、ed to tackle that with my design.” Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise, the television automatically switches off. And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps. Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the
30、recommended daily amounts of both. Health experts suggest that a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television. So, every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals precisely one minute of TV time. Existing pedometers （计步器） normally clip onto a belt or slip
31、into a pocket and keep count of steps by measuring sudden movement. Swan says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through shaking. But her shoe has been built to be harder for lazy teenagers to cheat. “It is possible, but it would be a lot of effort,” she says. “That was one of my main
32、design considerations.” 29. According to Swan, the purpose of her design project is to _. A. keep a record of the steps of the wearer B. deal with overweight among teenagers C. enable children to resist the temptation of TV D. prevent children from being tricked by TV programs30. Which of the follow
33、ing is TRUE of Square Eyes shoes? A. They regulate a childs evening TV viewing time. B. They determine a childs daily pocket money. C. They have raised the hot issue of overweight. D. They contain information of the receiver. 31. What is stressed by health experts in their suggestion? A. The exact n
34、umber of steps to be taken. B. The precise number of hours spent on TV. C. The proper amount of daily exercise and TV time. D. The way of changing steps into TV watching time. 32. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Smart Shoes Decide on Television Time B. Smart Shoes Gua
35、rantee More Exercise C. Smart Shoes Measure Time of Exercise D. Smart Shoes Stop Childhood Overweight DWe can achieve knowledge either actively or passively（被动地）. We achieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning.We achieve knowledge passively by being told
36、 by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive. Conditioned as we are to passive learning, its not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers
37、.Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay and rumor(谣言).Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesnt show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word
38、 for word, to another person. That person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are compared. Typically, the original message has changed
39、.Thats what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping（打上标记）it with their own personal style. Yet those
40、 who hear it think they know.This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be re-stated as fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue, unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the origin
41、al writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.33. According to the passage, passive learning may occur in _. A. doing a medical experimentB. solving a math problem C. visiting an exhibitionD. doing scientific reasoning34. The underlined word “it” in Paragr
42、aph 2 refers to _. A. active learning B. knowledgeC. communication D. passive learning35. What can we infer from the passage? A. Active learning is less important. B. Passive learning may not be reliable. C. Active learning occurs more frequently. D. Passive learning is not found among scholars.第二节（

72、as once thought to be a boy who was not worth educating. In fact, he was a man full of imagination, creation and wisdom.I admire Edison a lot because of his great contribution to the world. He had more than 1,000 inventions. In his lifetime, he was always eager to know how things worked, which helpe
73、d him to earn the nickname “ the Wizard of Melo Park.” He was also so diligent than he worked day and night. This explains why he had so many great inventions.What impresses me most id his famous saying, “ Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety nine percent perspiration.” Probably I cannot be an Edison, but I can be a hard-working learner. From him, I realize the secret of success is not when or where you were born, but what you are doing and how you do it in your life.
