My mom and her mom met through a downhill skiing group for people with disabilities. I am disabled, and so is her mother. Ks5uWe lived about 45 minutes driv
20、e away from each other, but we spent as much time together as possible. Often we spent nights at each others houses and, of course, went on ski trips together with our mothers. We even went to summer camps together. This was often a challenge, given that she was able-bodied while I was not. I went t
21、o YMCA and Girl Scout camps with her for able-bodied kids. A lot of time there were activities I just couldnt keep up with, or sometimes wasnt able to participate in at all. A couple of summers, I also tried attending summer camps for kids with disabilities. But I felt terribly bored, and found that
22、 I wasnt getting enough physical activity. I wanted to find a happy medium. One year, this friend and I signed up for Girl Scout camp together, again. I dont know who decided this, but someone put me in with the younger kids, thinking it would give me more opportunities. My friend stayed with me and
23、 the young ones. We were both miserable, due to the fact we were the only girls in our group able to do many things. There was a big sister program, and we were even older than our big sisters! I will never forget what this friend did for me by sticking with me through the whole 2 weeks. Not only di
24、d she stick with me, she did everything she could to make it more fun. I dont know if she had any idea how much her efforts meant to me then, or how much they still mean.

42、sure to its sound patterns even if youre clueless about the meaning of what you hear. Ks5u“However crazy it might sound, just listening to the language, even though you dont understand it, is critical. A lot of language teachers may not accept that,” said Victoria University PhD graduate Paul Sulzbe
43、rger, who made the discovery. Ks5uSulzbergers main theory is that simply listening to a new language sets up the structures in the brain required to learn the words. Ks5u“The neural tissue required to learn and understand a new language develops automatically from simple exposure to the language whi
44、ch is how babies learn their first language,” said Sulzberger, who undertook the research after spending seven years teaching Russian in New Zealand, and observing drop-out patterns among his students. I was very conscious of the huge difficulties students have when they tackle another language, esp
45、ecially at the beginning. Many drop out because they feel they are not making progress. Ks5uHe said he was interested in what makes it so difficult to learn foreign words when we are constantly learning new ones in our native language, and found the answer in the way the brain develops neural struct
46、ures when hearing new combinations of sounds. Ks5u“When were trying to learn new foreign words, were faced with sounds for which we may have absolutely no neural representation. A student trying to learn a foreign language will probably have few pre-existing neural structures to build on in order to
47、 remember the words.” Ks5uSulzberger looked for ways people could develop these structures to make the learning process easier. His finding was simple: extensive exposure to the language, something made easier by globalization and new technology. Ks5u“Its easier to learn languages these days, becaus
48、e theyre so accessible now. You can go home and watch the news in French or Spanish on the Internet,” he said. Ks5uHe said people trying to learn a foreign language in their home country are at a disadvantage compared to those who travel to another country and completely immerse themselves in its so
49、unds and culture. For that reason, he says, we need to rethink the way languages are taught. Ks5u46. What is the main idea of the text? Ks5uA. The relationship between technology and language. Ks5uB. Listening is the basis of learning a new language. Ks5uC. The importance of listening. Ks5uD. How to

It is based on extensive laboratory experiments. Ks5uB. It will be most useful for young learners. Ks5uC. It is rather easy to put into practic
52、e. Ks5uD. It is widely accepted by language teachers. Ks5u50. We learn from the text that Sulzberger _. Ks5uA. spent seven years doing his research Ks5uB. had majored in Russian at University Ks5uC. has helped many students who have difficulties learning Ks5uD. thinks it important for learners to in
53、volve themselves in the language they are learning Ks5uD Ks5uSpace is full of fireworks: Galaxies smash into each other, dying stars explode and high-energy particles race toward us at the speed of light. The most powerful explosions in the universe are brilliant flashes of light called gamma-ray bu
54、rsts. If you happened to fly through the neighborhood of a gamma-ray burst, you couldnt miss the flare it would be brighter than a million trillion suns. Ks5uOn September 15, 2008, a gamma-ray burst in the constellation Carina was recorded. This February, after studying the data, astronomers announc
55、ed the gamma-ray burst was the most energetic explosion ever seen. Ks5uSince the explosion was more than 12 billion light-years away, we didnt see it. Ks5uGamma-ray bursts are nearly impossible to study from Earth because our atmosphere blocks the view. But scientists found a way around that problem
56、. Last June, NASA launched a new telescope called the Fermi Gamma-ray telescope into orbit by strapping it on the back of a rocket. The instrument is helping scientists watch these deep-space fireworks displays. Its named after Enrico Fermi, an Italian-American physicist who helped design the first
57、atomic bomb and also studied gamma-ray bursts. KsSince they were first observed more than 35 years ago by satellites, these bursts of energy have been one of the biggest mysteries of space. Where do they come from? Why do some bursts last only a fraction of a second while others last a few minutes?
58、Ks5uIf a star is big enough, it collapses into a black hole when it runs out of fuel. A black hole is a dense and dark object with gravity so strong that not even light can escape from it. Many astronomers believe that as the star fades away and becomes a black hole, it shoots gamma rays into space.
59、 In other words, if you had seen the gamma-ray burst last September, you might also have been watching the birth of a powerful black hole. Ks5uThe first observations from the Fermi telescope are helping scientists answer questions about gamma-ray bursts. But as the data comes in, and astronomers lea
60、rn more about these deep-space fireworks, other questions will arise. Thats the nature of good science the answer to a question leads to another question, and its answer leads to yet another question that needs to be answered. Ks5u51. Which of the following statements is true? Ks5uA. Gamma-ray burst
61、s are unable to be observed. Ks5uB. Gamma-ray bursts are really brilliant flashes of light from explosions. Ks5uC. The gamma-ray burst that occurred last September is not the strongest explosion ever seen. Ks5uD. Gamma-ray bursts occur when a star is going round the sun. Ks5u52. The underlined word
62、“collapse” in the last paragraph but one probably means _. Ks5uA. fall down B. break out C. become unconscious D. become weak K53. The reason why we cant directly study gamma-ray bursts from Earth is except that _. Ks5uA. The explosion is too far from us. Ks5uB. Our atmosphere blocks the view. Ks5uC
63、. We dont have as advanced instruments as scientists do. Ks5uD. The explosion lasts only a second. Ks5u54. It can be inferred from the passage that _. Ks5uA. More research in space remains to be done. Ks5uB. We have observed gamma-ray bursts by satellites for more than 50 years. Ks5uC. The gravity o
64、f a black hole is so strong that even light cant escape from it. Ks5uD. We have known gamma-ray bursts quiet well, so they are not mysteries of space any longer. Ks5u55. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? Ks5uA. Watching Gamma-ray Bursts B. Watching Black Holes Ks5uC. Watching Deep-space Fireworks D. Watching the Universe Ks5u Ks5u
