31、nts to and from the storesBA world-famous Canadian author，Margaret Atwood，has created the worlds first long-distance signing device（装置），the LongPen.After many tiring book-signing tours from city to city，Atwood thought there must be a better way to do them. She hired some technical experts and starte
32、d her own company in 2004. Together they designed the LongPen. Heres how it works：The author writes a personal message and signature on a computer tablet（手写板）using a special pen. On the receiving end，in another city，a robotic arm fitted with a regular pen signs the book. The author and fan can talk
33、with each other via webcams（网络摄像机）and computer screens.Work on the LongPen began in Atwoods basement（地下室）At first，they had no idea it would be as hard as it turned out to beThe device went through several versions，including one that actually had smoke coming out of it. The inventing finally complete
34、d，test runs were made in Ottawa，and the LongPen was officially launched at the 2006 London Book Fair. From here，Atwood conducted two transatlantic book signings of her latest book for fans in Toronto and New York City.The LongPen produces a unique signature each time because it copies the movement o
35、f the author in real time. It has several other potential applicationsIt could increase credit card security and allow people to sign contracts from another provinceThe video exchange between signer and receiver can be recorded on DVD for proof when legal documents are used.“Its really fun，”said the
36、 owrrer of a bookstore，who was present for one of the test runs“Obviously you cant shake hands with the author，but there are chances for a connection that you dont get from a regular book signing.”The response to the invention hasnt been all favorableAtwood has received criticism from authors who th

But she said，“It will be possible to go to places that you never got sent to before because the publishers couldnt afford it.”56Why did Atwood decide to invent the LongPen?ATo set up her own company.

DPublishers dis
41、like the LongPen for its high cost.C The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphone, writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的)skill. However, while todays educa
42、tors are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful-both in school and in life.Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says its important to continue teachi
43、ng handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks-both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, pa
44、rticipants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate.In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a students writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to know well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the t
45、hinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berninger said.Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe(转换) “those words in the mind wri
46、tten symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. Seeing the words in the “minds eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says Berninger, but also to spot(发现) spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct then over time.“In our computer age, some pe
47、ople believe that we dont have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they wont have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer.”61. What makes writing by
48、hand a thing of the past?A. The absence of blackboard in classroom.B. The use of new technologies in teaching.C. The lack of practice in handwriting.D. The popular use of smartphones.62. Berningers study published in 2009 _.A. focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computer.B. in
49、dicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paper.C. found that good essays are made up of long sentences.D. discussed the importance of writing speed.63. Which of the following best shows the role of spelling?A. Spelling improves ones memory of words. B. Spelling ability is closely related
50、 to writing ability.C. Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.D. Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas.64. What does “minds eye” in paragraph 5 mean?A. Window.B. SoulC. Picture.D. Imagination.65. What conclusion could be drawn from the passage?A. Computers can hel
51、p people with their choice of words. B. Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.C. Handwriting still has a place in todays classrooms.D. Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.D You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator. When you
52、choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing(内化)your victimization
53、. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they dont let this get in the way. They know they hav
54、e their weaknesses, yet they dont blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred(神圣的)moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.Vi
55、ctims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish (沉溺)in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others-and even themselves-to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love
56、, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a spec
57、ial relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.In every mo
58、ment and every circumstance, you can choose to have fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.66. What does the word “they” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?A. People and things around you.B. Oppo
59、rtunities and problems.C. Creators and their choices.D. Victims and their sufferings.来源:Z&xx&k.Com67. According to Paragraph 2, creators _.A. seem willing to experience failures in lifeB. possess the ability to predict future lifeC. handle ups and downs of life wiselyD. have potential to create some
60、thing new68. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. Creators and victims face quite different things in life. B. Creators and victims are masters of their lives.C. Victims can influence more people than creators.D. Compared with victims, creators are more emotional.69. The examples mentioned in Parag
61、raph 4 show that _.A. strong attachment to sufferings in life pulls people into victims.B. people need family support to deal with challengers in life.C. it takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their pains.D. ones experiences determine his attitude toward life.70.

To suggest the transformation from victims to creators.II卷写作 (满分 35 分)第三部分： 写作第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。Born in 1949
