22、小题2分，满分30分）AThis is a true story of how my car got stuck in water and how a stranger helped me during the worst rain storm. Last Sunday, the sky was grey when I woke up. The weather report said rain was coming, but I couldnt stay home just because of rain.Around 8:00 am I had a doctors appointment.
23、It wasnt raining then. At 9:00 I left the doctors office to drive to work, and it was raining hard. I just had to go about 5-6 miles down one main road to get to a nearby school, where I could stay until the rain ended. Unfortunately, the road in front of the school was flooded, and my car stopped i
24、n the middle.“Who is going to save me?” I wondered. I shut off the engine and turned on my flashers (车灯). I called 911. They were not helpful. I called my husband, even though he couldnt come and help me. I was also very close to a police station. But I never saw even one police car. I decided to ge
25、t out of the car, since it was still pouring. My best decision of the day had been to wear rain boots. I took my umbrella and quickly got out and ran across the street to a shelter. Before long, a tow truck (拖车) happened to pass by the street. The driver kindly offered to help me. At that moment, I
26、really needed my car pulled out quickly, so I trusted the stranger. He pulled my car and drove me home. After he had dropped my car off, he also helped me check the engine. He said the engine was most likely flooded, but fortunately there was no water inside the car. Although many years have passed,
27、 I still remember that stormy day and the warm-hearted stranger clearly.51. How was the weather when the author got up?A. Rainy.B. Cloudy.C. Windy.D. Sunny.52.

He helped her fix her engine.BThe UK has a well-respected higher education system and some of the top universities and research institutions in the world. But to those who are new to it all, sometimes it can be confusing.Octobe
30、r is usually the busiest month in the college calendar. Universities have something called Freshers Week for their newcomers. Its a great opportunity to make new friends, join lots of clubs and settle into university life.However, having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind, the
31、 prospect (前景) of meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be nerve-wracking (令人焦虑不安的). Where do you start? Who should you make friends with? Which clubs should you join? Luckily, there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you worrying about starting their university social life on the
32、right foot. So just take it all in slowly. Dont rush into anything that youll regret for the next three years.Here are some top advice from past students on how to survive Freshers Week： Learn rules. Make sure you know British social etiquette (礼节). Have a few wine glasses and snacks handy for your
33、housemates and friends. Be kind. Sometimes cups of tea or even slices of toast can give you a head start in making friends. Be sociable. The more active you are, the more likely youll be to meet new people than if youre someone who never leaves his room. Bring a doorstop. Keep your door open when yo
34、ure in and that sends positive messages to your neighbors that youre friendly.So with a bit of clever planning and effort, Freshers Week can give you a great start to your university life and soon youll be passing on your experience to next years freshers.55. We can learn from the passage that _.A.
35、Freshers Week usually comes in September in UKB. all the students are required to join certain clubs in UKC. many freshers are worried about how to fit university lifeD. most of the students in the UK spend three years in universities56. Why does the author suggest having wine glasses and snacks han
36、dy?A. To pass the busy university life.B. To help make friends with other freshers.C. To show yourself a drinker as others.D. To enjoy the time in a happy way.57. The main purpose of the passage is to _.A. tell the newcomers how to make a new start in universitiesB. introduce something about higher
37、education system of the UKC. inform the freshers of British social etiquetteD. advise the freshmen how to behave well in the beginningCCast your mind back to the past twenty years and hardly did anyone have their own email account. The Internet had just taken off in 1991 and people were only using o
38、ffice and PCbased email exchanges.In the mid 1990s external email providers appeared. The most famous of these was Hotmail, the first free email provider and webbased email service. Sabeer Bhatia and Jack Smith launched Hotmail on July 4, 1996. And Microsoft took note of and bought Hotmail for $400
39、million on December 30, 1997, a nice birthday present for Bhatia who turned 29 that day. It was relaunched as MSN Hotmail and in 2007 was relaunched again as Windows Live Hotmail.Fast forward the present day and most of us have at least a personal webbased email account. It seems impossible to live
40、without them. One of the biggest advantages of email is the fact that communication has become so much easier, especially with those across different time zones. Email takes seconds to send a message whereas letters, as we used to communicate by, could take weeks. Of course there was the fax, that b
41、eeping invention from the 1980s, but it wasnt as secure as email and you never knew if the person on the other end had picked up your fax or if it had got lost somewhere in the office.In conclusion, one of the best inventions from the 1990s has to be email. But sometimes people are too closely conne
42、cted to their email and have a compulsion to check it several times a day. At work, people have become lazy and instead of going to speak to the person sitting next to them, they send an email，causing an in box to pile up with more time spent reading email and responding rather than working. Clearly
43、, an invention that saved time because of its quick and speedy connection can now also cause us to waste a lot of time.58. The earliest web-based email came into being probably _.A. in 1991B. in 1996C. in 1997D. in 200759. The author mentions “fax” in the third paragraph in order to tell us that _.A
44、. it is exactly as good as emailB. it is much better than emailC. it is less convenient than emailD. it is easier and faster than email60. The underlined word “compulsion” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_”.A. strong desireB. common senseC. special curiosityD. general idea61. Which is the main idea o
45、f the last paragraph?A. We should check email boxes frequently.B. Lazy people like sending an email.C. Email brings us great convenience.D. Good inventions also cause problems.DI am a psychologist. I first met Timothy, a quiet, overweight elevenyearold boy, when his mother brought him to me to discu
46、ss his declining grades. A few minutes with Timothy were enough to confirm that his self-esteem (自尊) and general happiness were falling right along with them.I asked about Timothys typical day. He awoke every morning at six thirty so he could reach his school by eight and arrived home around four th
47、irty each afternoon. He then had a quick snack, followed by either a piano lesson or a lesson with his math tutor. He finished dinner at 7 pm, and then he sat down to do homework for two to three hours. Quickly doing the math in my head, I found that Timothy spent an average of thirteen hours a day
48、at a writing desk.What if Timothy spent thirteen hours a day at a sewing machine instead of a desk? We would immediately be shocked, because that would be called children being horribly mistreated. Timothy was far from being mistreated, but the mountain of homework he faced daily resulted in a simil
49、ar consequence he was being robbed of his childhood. In fact, Timothy had no time to do anything he truly enjoyed, such as playing video games, watching movies, or playing board games with his friends. Play, however, is a crucial part of healthy child development. It affects childrens creativity, th
50、eir social skills, and even their brain development. The absence of play, physical exercise, and freefrom social interaction takes a serious toll on many children. It can also cause significant health problems like childhood obesity, sleep problems and depression.Experts in the field recommend the m
51、inutes children spend on their homework should be no more than ten times the number of their grade level. As a fifthgrader, Timothy should have no more than fifty minutes a day of homework (instead of three times that amount). Having an extra two hours an evening to play, relax, or see a friend woul
52、d soundly benefit any childs life quality.62. What does the underlined word “them” in the first paragraph probably refer to?A. Timothys parents.B. Timothys grades.C. Psychologists. D. The students.63. What did the writer think of Timothy after learning about his typical day?A. Timothy was very hardw
53、orking.B. Timothy was being mistreated.C. Timothy had a heavy burden.D. Timothy was enjoying his childhood.64. Which of the following statements best describes the writers opinion?A. Children should be allowed enough time to play.B. Playing board games works better than playing video games.C. The mo
54、re they play, the more creative children will become.D. The depression caused by homework makes children unwilling to play.65.

56、 NASA (美国宇航局) was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover (火星探测器).

58、 and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA.Curiosity is such an important part of who I am. I have always been fascinated by the stars, the planets, the sky and the universe.

They were always there, yet there was so much I didnt know about them. Thats what I love so much about space.People often ask me why we go to
60、 faraway places like Mars. My answer is simple because were curious. We human beings do not just hole up in one place.

81、8 months ago, I had a job at Google and I had the idea of building virtual museums. It took 18 months to get the project started. A lot of fun negotiations and stories, I can tell you, with 17 very interesting museums from nine countries. I grew up in India. I had a great education, but I didnt have
82、 access to a lot of those museums and their artworks. So I decided to travel and go to those museums, including the Uffizi in Italy, MoMa, the Hermitage, the Rijks, the Van Gogh, and, my favourite museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Now, while working at Google, I am trying to put this desire to make museums more accessible with technology together. So we formed a great team of people. We have started doing this.
