But for Grant Reed of B

11、ellville, Ohio, its his own current events that are so painful. “Honestly, I dont want to die,” Grant says. Last year, doctors at Nationwide Childrens Hospital in Columbus found a tumor (肿瘤 ) in Grants brain. They cut it out, but the surgery left him with stroke-like symptoms. Plus, he had to go thr

12、ough months of radiation and chemotherapy to try to stop the spread of the disease. Yet, through it all, Grant has shown remarkable determination, which he owes, partly, to Ohio State football. His parents, Troy and Denise, were both in the OSU marching band and fell in love during halftime of the M

13、ichigan game. His cat is named after the team Buckeye. His wardrobe is painted scarlet (the color of the teams sportswear). The point is, almost nothing mattered more to Grant than Ohio State football-until he got sick, of course. “I didnt like the word cancer,” Grant says. So he decided not to use

14、the word. Instead, the kid named his cancer Michigan and insisted everyone in his life refer to it as such, because Ohio State always beats Michigan. That was something he could understand and make it into a competition. He was going to beat this disease. Its now been more than a year since Grant is

15、sued that announcement. “And if you look at his scans,“ Dr. Randal at Nationwide Childrens says, “Theres nothing there. Theres a big space, but theres no tumor.” “Grant is beating Michigan. And although much of it has to go to science, dont ignore the semantics(语义学 ). You have to do something to mak

16、e it a disease you can fight. And for Grant, that was naming it Michigan,” his parents say. This weekend, Ohio State and Michigan will be battling like their lives depend on it. But in this house, the Reed family will be watching with a calm insight: its just a game. 21. Whats the main idea of the f

17、irst paragraph? A. History is a difficult subject. B. Grant suffered a serious disease. C. The operation was successful. D. The tumor has spread all over. 22. From the second paragraph, we can infer that _. A. Grant was born a football fan B. football makes a full man C. interest is the best teacher

18、 D. God helps those who help themselves 23. By saying that its just a game, we can infer that the Reed family_. A. has lost interest in the match between Ohio State and Michigan B. believes Michigan will surely beat Ohio State this weekend C. has a better understanding of life D. views the match as

19、a matter of life and death B Global Positioning Systems are now a part of everyday driving in many countries. These satellite-based systems provide turn-by-turn directions to help people get to where they want to go. But, they can also cause a lot of problems, send you to the wrong place or leave yo

20、u completely lost. Many times, the driver is to blame. Sometimes a GPS error is responsible. Most often, say Barry Brown, it is a combination of the two. We spoke to Mr. Brown by Skype. He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States. There he

21、 borrowed a GPS-equipped car to use during his stay. Barry Brown: “And they just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination. And, then it wasnt until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived. T

22、hey actually put their home address in. So again, the GPS is kind of garbage in garbage out.” Mr. Brown says this is a common human error. But, he says, what makes the problem worse has something to do with some of the shortcomings, or failures, of GPS equipment. Barry Brown: “One problem with a lot

23、 of the GPS units is that they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn. Because they just give you the next turn, sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it is going to the wrong place.” Barry Brown formerly served as

24、a professor with the University of California, San Diego. While there, he worked on a project with Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh. The two men studied the effects of GPS devices on driving by placing cameras in peoples cars. They wrote a paper based on their research. It is called “Th

25、e Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS.” It lists several areas where GPS systems can cause confusion for drivers. These include maps that are outdated, incorrect or difficult to understand. They also include timing issues related to when GPS commands are given. Barry Brown says, “ to make G

26、PS systems better we need a better understanding of how drivers, passengers and GPS systems work together.” 24. In Para. 2, Mr. Brown mentioned his friend in the conversation to _. A. laugh at his stupid friend B. describe an example of human error C. build up his own reputation D. prove the GPS sys

27、tem is only garbage 25. Which of the following statement would Barry Brown be most likely to agree with? A. GPS units are to blame for the most GPS service failure. B. We should introduce higher standard for the driving license C. Cameras are urgently needed to help improve GPS systems. D. Some shor

28、tcomings of GPS equipment are more likely to result in service failure. 26. According to Barry and Eric, which of the following is NOT among the areas of GPS systems that may confuse drivers? A. Wrong maps B. Out-dated maps C. Difficult instructions D. Timing of GPS commands. 27. What would be the b

29、est title for the text? A. Driving Confusions Can Be Caused By Small Screen B. Driving with GPS Can Be Difficult C. Driving without GPS Should Be Much More Convenient D. GPS Equipment In Driving: To Be Deserted Or Not C No woman can be too rich or too thin. This saying often attributed to(由 引起 ) the

30、 late Duchess (公爵夫人 ) of Windsor represents much of the strange spirit of our times. Being thin is assumed as such a virtue. The problem with such a view is that some people actually attempt to live by it. I myself have fantasies of slipping into narrow designer clothes. Consequently, I have been on

31、 a diet for the better -or worse- part of my life. Being rich wouldnt be bad either, but that wont happen unless an unknown relative dies suddenly in some distant land, leaving me millions of dollars. Where did we go off the track? When did eating butter become a sin(罪恶 ), and a little bit of extra

32、flesh unappealing, if not unpleasant? All religions have certain days when people stop from eating and overeating is one of Christianitys seven deadly sins. However, until quite recently, most people had a problem getting enough to eat. In some religious groups, wealth was a symbol of probable high

33、morals, and fatness a sign of wealth and well-being. Today the opposite is true. We have shifted to thinness as our new mark of virtue. The result is that being fat - or even only somewhat overweight - is bad because it implies a lack of moral strength. Our obsession（迷恋） with thinness is also fueled

34、 by health concerns. It is true that in this country we have more overweight people than ever before, and that in many cases, being overweight correlates with an increased risk of heart and blood vessel disease. These diseases, however, may have as much to do with our way of life and our high-fat di

35、ets as with excess weight. And the associated risk of cancer in the digestive system may be more of a dietary problem - too much fat and a lack of fiber - than a weight problem. The real concern, then, is not that we weigh too much, but that we neither exercise enough nor eat well. Exercise is neces

36、sary for strong bones and both heart and lung health. A balanced diet without a lot of fat can also help the body avoid many diseases. We should surely stop paying so much attention to weight. Simply being thin is not enough. It is actually dangerous if those who get (or already are) thin think they

37、 are automatically healthy and thus free from paying attention to their overall life-style. Thinness can be pure vain（虚荣） glory. 28. In the eyes of the author, an odd phenomenon nowadays is that_. A. looking slim is a symbol of having a large fortune B. being thin is viewed as a much desired quality

38、 C. the Duchess of Windsor is regarded as a woman of virtue D. religious people are not necessarily virtuous 29. Swept by the current trend, the author_. A. could still prevent herself from going off the track B. had to go on a diet for the greater part of her life C. had to seek help from rich dist

39、ant relatives D. had to wear highly fashionable clothes 30. In human history, peoples views on body weight_. A. were closely related to their religious beliefs B. varied between the poor and the rich C. led to different moral standards D. changed from time to time 31. Whats the authors advice to wom

40、en who are absorbed in the idea of thinness? A. They should rid themselves of fantasies about designer clothes. B. They should be more watchful for fatal diseases. C. They should gain weight to look healthy. D. They should be more concerned with their overall life style. D The wallet is heading for

41、extinction. As a day-to-day essential, it will die off with the generation who read print newspapers. The kind of shopping, where you hand over notes and count out change in return, now happens only in the most minor of our retailers (零售商 ), like buying a bar of chocolate or a pint of milk from a co

42、rner shop. At the shops where you spend any real money, that money is increasingly abstracted. And this is more and more true, the higher up the scale you go. At the most cutting-edge (前沿的 ) retail stores, Victoria Beckham on Dover Street, for instance, you dont go and stand at any kind of cash regi

43、ster when you decide to pay. The staff are equipped with iPads to take your payment while you relax on a sofa. Across society, the abstraction of the idea of cash makes me uneasy. Maybe Im just old-fashioned. But earning money isnt quick or easy for most of us. Isnt it a bit weird(怪异 ) that spending

44、 it should happen in half a blink (眨眼 ) of an eye? Doesnt a wallet, that time-honored Friday-night feeling of pleasing, promising fatness, represent something that matters? But Ill leave the economics to the experts. What bothers me about the death of the wallet is the change it represents in our ph

45、ysical environment. Everything about the look and feel of a wallet, the way the materials wear and tear and loosen with age, the plastic and paper and gold and silver, and handwritten phone numbers and printed cinema tickets, is the very opposite of what our world is becoming. The opposite of a wall

46、et is a smart phone or an iPad. The rounded edges, cool glass, smooth and unknowable as a pebble (鹅卵石 ). Instead of digging through pieces of paper, we move our fingers left and right. No more counting out coins. Show your wallet, if you still have one. It may not be here much longer. 32. What is ha

47、ppening to the wallet?: A. It is disappearing. B. It is becoming costly. C. It is being fattened. D. It is changing in style. 33. How are businesses done in big modern stores? A. Electronically. B. In the abstract. C. Individually. D. Via a cash register. 34. What makes the author feel uncomfortable

48、 nowadays? A. Saving money is becoming a thing of the past. B. The pleasing Friday-night feeling is fading. C. Spending money is so fast and easy. D. Earning money is getting more difficult. 35. What can we infer from the passage about the author? A. He is resistant to social changes. B. He is against technological progress. C. He wants to say good-bye to the traditional wallet. D. He feels insecure in the ever-changing modern world. 第二节 (共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10分 ) 根
