AInspired by a 9-year-old cyclist who uses only part of one hand, a group of University of Guelph students has won an international award for their invention —a bike brake lever(刹车手柄). It pulls both the front brake and the back brake at the same time.Lauren Turner was able to ride her bike, but not as confidently and quickly as her friends.“She couldn ’t use the front brake. She was only using the back brake, but the front brake makes you stop twice as fast,” says Micha Wallace, who with Katie Bell, Anina Sakaguchi and Andrew Morris won second prize in the James Dyson Awards for their single-handed bike braking lever.“She used it all last summer and she had no problems. She said it helped her go faster because she felt more confident in her braking abilities. She felt safer.” says Wallace.The invention was the fourth-year design project for the four students. They designed, tested and created a prototype(模型) within a four-month period.When Wallace heard about the James Dyson Awards on the news, she and her co-inventors entered their project in the UK-based contest. The contest mainly rewards student designers who create products that improve the way we live. The Guelph students collected the second prize —￡2,000 for them, plus￡500 for their school.As well, they had a chance to meet James Dyson, a UK inventor. While praising the students for their creativity, Dyson said the single-handed lever could improve safety for all cyclists. “By using both brakes at once,” he explains, “you could prevent the possibility of flying over the handlebars and ending up with an injury.”The students are hoping to sell the patent to a major company. It may be used in other devices that require two hands for operation.21. The bike brake lever was designed for the purpose of . A. winning James Dyson Awards B. helping people become confident C. applying for a patent for the invention D. helping the disabled ride their bike safely22. What can we know about the inventors of the brake lever? A. They created the invention in four years. B. They won their school ￡500 for their invention. C. They won the James Dyson Awards for four times. D. They sold their patent to a major company.23. From the passage, we could infer that the brake lever . A. has already been widely used B. also improves the bike ’s speed C. is only useful for disabled cyclists D. will have a wide market in the futureBPygmalion is a drama in which Shaw has made sentiments one of the principal themes of discussion. The Greek sculptor Pygmalion carved a statue and fell in love with it. Aphrodite(the goddess of love) turned the statue into a living woman named Galatea, who then became Pygmalion’s wife.The Shavian Pygmalion is Henry Higgins, a professor of phonetics, who picks up a flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, teaches her to speak as educated people do, and then successfully passes her off as a duchess. But she is a human being and cannot be treated as a machine. In the course of all his experiments and exhibitions, the professor only thinks of the success and failure of his own skills, but never stops to consider how the girl feels. When the experiment is over, he has a profound sense of relief that he has achieved triumph and has won his bet. Even now, the sentiment of the girl is of no account. The girl此卷只装订不密封班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号naturally protests against this dehumanized relationship between her and her teacher. She hurls the professor’s slippers at him when he wants them and then leaves his place. But evidently, she has begun to feel for the professor and wants also to be felt for.Now the question is what is the nature of Eliza’s feelings for the professor with whom she has lived in close association for so long? In the last act, the girl says she would not marry him even if he had proposed(求婚) to her. The professor, curiously ineffectual(无能的) to sexual emotions, does not love any girl because he finds her to be the rival(对手) to his mother. He wonders, if Eliza does not want to marry him, then what does she want from him? Old Mrs. Higgins, who knows much about a woman says that it would have been better if he had thanked her and petted her and told her how wonderful she had been. Then perhaps she would not have fought with him. Every girl loves to be loved. Eliza herself says that she loves Freddy and he also loves her. Professor Higgins, however, remains as ever, an old bachelor.24. What does the underlined phrase “passes her off as” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. let her pretend to beB. dress her up asC. make her becomeD. turn into25. What kind of person do you think Higgins is according to Paragraph 2?A. He is a kind man.B. He is a considerate man.C. He is a selfish man.D. He is a rude man.26. Eliza doesn’t marry Hi ggins because .A. she does not love himB. Higgins’ mother does not like any girl to be her rivalC. Higgins likes to be a bachelorD. Higgins does not love any girl for fear of her being his mother’s rival27. What’s the main idea of this text?A. It’s about the story between Shaw and Pygmalion.B. It’s about the Greek sculptor Pygmalion and his statue.C. It’s about the content of the drama Pygmalion.D. It’s about the love story of Higgins and Eliza.CEnglish is a language particularly rich in idioms, which usually don’t obey logical and grammatical rules. Without idioms English, would lose much of its variety and humor both in speech and writing.In the old days, the written language(novels, poems, plays and the Bible) was the source on which idioms were based. This was the case up until WWII. After the war, new mediums had appeared in English-speaking society, there was a channel for the American way of life and the popular culture of the U.S. TV, movies and nowadays the interactive medium have changed the English language more to the American English direction.How then does American English differ from British English in the use of idioms? There are no radical differences in actual use. The main differences are in the situations where idiomatic expressions are used. There have been many studies recently on this subject. American English adopts and creates new idioms at a much faster rate compared to British English. Also, the idioms of AmE origin seem to spread faster and further. After it has first been established in the U.S. , an American idiom may soon be found in other variants(变体) and dialects of English. Nowadays new British idioms seem to stay on the British Isles and are rarely encountered in the US.British idioms are in fact more familiar to other Europeans or to the people of the British Commonwealth than to Americans, even though the language is same. The future of idiomatic expressions in the English language seems certain. They are more and more based on American English. This development will continue through new mediums like the Internet and interactive mediums. It is hard to say what this will do to idioms and what kind of new idioms are created. This will be an interesting development to follow, and by no means does it lessen the humor, variety and color of English language.28. Which one is the best title of the passage?A. American English and British EnglishB. American English Developed from British EnglishC. American Idioms will replace British IdiomsD. The Development of English Idioms29. According to the passage, we can infer that ________.A. idioms usually aren’t created based on logical and grammatical rulesB. idioms mainly come from the written language nowadaysC. American English creates more new idioms than AmericanD. British idioms are more important than American idioms30. Where did idioms come from in ancient times?A. The written language.B. New mediums.C. The spoken language.D. Speaker’s creation.31. When a new idiom is created in America, it will soon ________.A. be used all over the worldB. be laughed at by British peopleC. be found used in England alsoD. be used only in the United StatesDIn 1996 John Jones made an unusual discovery. He had just enlarged(扩大) a piece of paper money for a friend—a Confederate bank note, money issued(发行) by banks in Southern States of America during the Civil War. When he was face to face with the picture, he couldn’t believe his eyes: slaves(奴隶) happily picking cotton in their master’s fields.Jones grew up in South Carolina. He had heard painful stories of slavery from his great grandmother. The picture on the money did not match(匹配) the history of African American slaves that he’d heard all his life. “I had never seen that type of picture on mone y before.” he said.Jones wondered why slaves looked so happy. He started doing research.Searching for and finding the answers to his questions changed his life. During two years’ search, Jones found more than 120 different bills. He discovered that the bills had several things in common. They showed slaves working in jobs related to farming. Many of them showed healthy and smiling slaves at work. None of the bills showed the hardships of slavery.Jones wanted to share what he had learned. “I wanted other people to see what I had seen,” he said. He decided to make large paintings of the pictures on the money. After three years of work, Jones had painted more than 80 slavery scenes(场景). He paired each painting with the money on which the picture appeared. “The Color of Money”—an exhibit(展览) of his work—has toured the country.Jones’ paintings tell an important story about the South 150 years ago. He likes to repeat the saying. “The story is on the money.” In this case, the saying happens to be true.32. How did Jones feel when he saw the picture on the money?A. Angry.B. Painful.C. Excited.D. Surprised.33. Why did Jones do research on the money?A. He had never heard of Confederate money.B. He wanted to learn about American history through it.C. It showed slaves quite different from those in his mind.D. His great-grandmother told him some unusual stories about it.34. What did Jones find?A. About 120 different bills were issued during the Civil War.B. The difficulty of slaves was never shown on the bills.C. Slaves lived a harder life than he thought.D. Slaves worked long hours on farms.35. What’s the best title for the text?A. Confederate Money.B. Money Tells a StoryC. African American SlavesD.
