A man had been on a long flight. When the sign on the airplane flashed, a calm voice said, “16 your seat belts, please. We are 17 a little turbulence (湍流).”
As the man looked around, it became 18 that many of the passengers were becoming upset. Later, the voice said, “We are so sorry that we are unable to 19 the meal at this time. The turbulence is still ahead of us.”
And then the 20 broke. Lightning lit up the darkening skies and within moments that great plane was like a small boat tossed (颠簸) around on an angry 21 . One moment the airplane was 22 ; the next, it dropped as if it were about to 23 .
Some passengers were praying. The 24 seemed hopeless and many were wondering if they would make it through the storm. And then, the man 25 saw a girl to whom the storm meant nothing. She 26 her seat and was reading a book. Everything within her small world was 27 and orderly. Sometimes she closed her eyes, then she would read again,
but 28 and fear were not in her world. When the plane was being tossed by the terrible storm, when all the adults were 29 half to death, that child was completely unafraid.

Flying cars are not science fiction any more. A Massachusetts company has announced that its prototype (样机) flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle, which is called the Transition, has two seats, four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. Last month, it flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes. However, common planes fly at 35,000 feet.
Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit (定金) to get a Transition when
they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after the Transition is introduced to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $279,000. And it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway.
The government has already permitted the company to use special tires and glass that are lighter than normal automotive ones, to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The government has also freed the Transition from the requirement (要求) to equip vehicles with electronic stability (稳定) control, which would add about six pounds to the vehicle. The Transition is now going through a group of automotive crash tests to make sure it meets safety standards.
The Transition can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air, one spokesman says. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of automotive fuel and burns 5 gallons per hour in the air.
36. We can learn from the text that the flying car___________.
A. can fly higher than a common plane
B. will burn a new fuel instead of petrol
C. can hold more people than common ones
D. will fold its wings when running on the road
37. What will happen if the flying car is stuck in traffic?
A. The car will take off directly.
B. The driver will fold up the car.
C. The driver will change its driveway.
D. The car will remain in the original place.
38. What is the government’s attitude towards the flying car?
A. Supportive.
B. Doubtful.
C. Disappointed.
D. Puzzled.
39. What is being done to the Transition flying car?
A. Testing its speed.
B. Testing its safety.
C. Testing its tires.
D. Testing its function.

When you walk into a room on the 17th floor of Copenhagen’s Bella Sky Hotel, you’ll be greeted by soft roses and other fresh flowers, fruits, fashion magazines, and a bathroom with beauty products. This is Europe’s first hotel floor dedicated (专用的) entirely to women — and according to the hotel’s CEO Arne Bang Mikkelsen, it is designed by women, for women.
“Women’s hotel preferences (偏爱) are very different from men’s with key priorities (优先考虑的事) being to feel safe and comfortable. When men come into a hotel room, the first thing they do is check the view, turn on the TV, plug in their computer, and check out the fridge. Women, on the other hand, go straight to the bathroom. Does it smell nice? Is it clean? Does it have a nice bathtub and shower?”
Unlike other hotels, it seemed like someone actually thought about what women wanted. To get it right, the hotel asked a number of women what they wanted, and added to their list of things like cleanliness, a nice bathroom, high-powered hairdryers, steam irons, cosmetic mirrors, healthy choices on the room service menus, and full-body mirrors.
It seems that they are helped by the boom (繁荣) in female business travelers. Global numbers are hard to get, but a research report shows women account for about half of all business travelers in the US in 2010, up from approximately 25% in 1991.
Places like the Naumi Hotel in Singapore, the Premier Hotel in New York, the London Dukes Hotel and the Georgian Court Hotel in Vancouver seem to be realizing the possibility in catering (迎合) for women.
At the London Dukes Hotel, the manager says bookings (预订) for their “Duchess Rooms”, which are standard rooms with fresh flowers, fruit, and styling things, have increased 25% over the past year.
40. We can learn from the text that Bella Sky Hotel _________ .
A. is the first hotel designed for women
B. offers special service to women guests
C. has a big garden with all kinds of flowers
D. can arrange rooms according to guests’ wishes
41. Paragraph 2 mainly wants to tell us__________.
A. men are wiser in choosing hotels
B. guests usually care about comfort most
C. women differ from men in judging a hotel
D. hotels have difficulty satisfying each guest
42. What can we learn from the text?
A. Men guests usually don’t care about hotels’ cleanliness.
B. Living in a hotel, women guests may consider their safety.
C. Women business travelers spend more than men in hotels.
D. In the US the number of women travelers is higher than men.
43. The example of the London Dukes Hotel is used to show ______.
A. London is known for hotel management
B. guests like to experience different hotels
C. the new hotel service is very popular
D. hotel industry is developing rapidly

When Susan and Steve Balog first dealt with the sudden loss of their 26-year-old daughter Emily killed in late November in an accident in Paraguay, they knew it was much too soon to ask why she was taken from them.
Even if there was an answer, in early December when Susan Balog was delivering Emily’s eulogy (颂词), she knew that no one could understand it.
As difficult as it was, the Balogs don’t want to focus on the sadness. They try not to always think of it almost three months later. People asked then and continue to ask now: What can we do for you? To that question, the Balogs do have answers.
“Prepare a meal and share it. Make a commitment (承诺) and keep it. Look beyond yourself,” Susan Balog explained in her eulogy. “Look beyond your sadness, your yard, your street, your belief and your country,” she said.
“Make this place we love a better world. You are the best. You are here to help us celebrate our precious Emily and her bright light. Follow her lead to a good life.”
Growing up in Burlington, Emily was a dedicated (有奉献精神的) Girl Scout, earning the honored Gold Award for her work teaching children art. As a member of First Reformed United Church of Christ, she learned to serve others. She served shut-ins (不能外出的人) a hot meal every Christmas through Alamance County Meals on Wheels. She helped build houses for fellow North Carolinians struck by natural disasters.
It was a speech given several years ago by Michelle Obama in Raleigh that in many ways inspired Emily’s decision to go into the Peace Corps. The special meaning of Obama’s speech was “moving out of your comfort zones”, Susan Balog remembered.
44. According to the first paragraph, we learn that________.
A. the Balogs decided to make it clear why Emily died
B. the Balogs didn’t find any answer to Emily’s deat h
C. it was too sudden for the Balogs to believe Emily’s death
D. the Balogs heard their daughter was killed in an accident
45. What is the Balogs’ answer to people’s question?
A. Think more of others instead of yourself.
B. Look further instead of only the present.
C. Don’t be sad even if your relatives die.
D. Don’t always stay in your own country.
46. In Susan’s view, the best way to remember Emily is_________.
A. not to ask them the same question any more
B. to follow her example to help others live better
C. to join the Peace Corps as Emily did in her life
D. to let her have a good rest in heaven peacefully
47. When was this text probably written?
A. In November.
B. In December.
C. In January.
D. In February.

Imagine sitting down at your keyboard, typing in your user name and starting work right away —no password needed. That’s an idea that Darpa (the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), part of the Defense Department, wants to turn into a reality. It will develop a program that determines, just by the way you type, that you are indeed the person you say you are. Darpa’s purpose is to sponsor revolutionary research for military use. But it finally tends to find its way into the civilian (平民的) world.
Passwords like “6tFcVbNh^TfCvBn” meet the Defense Department’s definition of “strong”, says Richard Guidorizzi, a program manager at Darpa. “The problem is that they don’t meet human requirements,” he says. “Humans aren’t built to understand random connections of characters.” No biologic sensors, like fingerprints or eye scan (扫描), would be used. Instead, he is seeking technology that relies only on people’s unique behavioral characteristics, which he calls the “cognitive fingerprint”.
Other experts are trying several approaches to determine users’ identities only through their computer behavior. Roy Maxion, a research professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon University, is in charge of research on the length of time a user keeps a given key and moves from one particular key to another.
Charles C. Tappert, a professor of computer science at Pace University, has developed a program
that analyzes the unique pattern of keyboard pressure; it accurately confirms the given identity
of a test taker in 99.5 percent of cases, he says.
Professor Maxion has worked on another behavioral identification (身份证明): mouse dynamics (力学). He explains that everyone has a unique way of using a mouse, such as the speed with which you move the cursor (指针) across the screen; the path — straight line, or curved (弯曲的) shape.”
48. Which of the following belongs to “cognitive fingerprint”?
A. One’s scanned fingerprints.
B. One’s facial characteristics.
C. One’s characteristics of fingers.
D. One’s way of clicking a mouse.
49. Who tries to recognize a person by his physical power of pressing a keyboard?
A. Roy Maxion.
B. Richard Guidorizzi.
C. Charles C. Tappert.
D. Carnegie Mellon.
50. What’s the best title fo r the text?
A. Pay attention to online safety
B. The latest technology in typing
C. Go on beyond passwords
D. Which is better, keyboard or mouse?
四、任务型阅读
Learning is a daily adventure that one carries throughout life, and we should keep learning something new every day. To become a lifelong learner, first of all you should learn where your
talents and interests lie. You can try many different things so that you’ll find you’re not only good at a few things. Be careful of past memories that tell you to stay away from certain things. This can soon prevent you seizing chances to try many new things. Anyway, be careful not to let past experiences like these cut off opportunities for you now.
To make learning fun, you need to see learning as an exploration, not a chore (杂事). Don’t just force yourself to learn things because they’re important or necessary. Instead, learn things you need to learn and you love to learn. Follow your heart, as well as your sense of duty. Even when you’re learning the things you have to, seek to go beyond what you’re being asked to learn. Look at the history, case studies, different applications, etc., to make your learning experience much more colorful.
Doing reading as much as you can is also helpful. So make friends with local new and used book sellers. Through reading you’ll never stop learning. Wise people read lots of books all the time; it’s as simple as that. And reading will help you know the discoveries and mistakes of others so that you don’t have to lea rn things the hard way. So remember that books, newspapers, and magazines are all reading, and as are websites, reviews and other online sources of information.
Asking the right questions can be more important than having the answers. So be sure to listen closely and understand the response. Sometimes a response is difficult to understand. Feel free to take notes, ask more questions and break down the response into smaller components (成分) to make sense of it. You can keep a diary or notebook to record what you learn and what questions you still have. Questions can teach as much as, or more than, answers.
To be a lifelong learner, often evaluate (评估) and apply what you learn. Does it make sense? Is it true? Try to answer these questions and make good evaluati on about what you’re learning. In addition, applying what you learn is the best way to test it and it’ll help you learn it more completely and keep it longer.

One possible version:
Last week Xiaoming’s father was driving his car with Xiaoming and Xiaoming’s mother in it. For a moment he was not giving all his attention to driving, and as a result he hit a car parked by the roadside, denting it quite badly. It happened that nobody was around. Xiaoming and his mother urged his father to make off to avoid trouble. However, his father turned them down and waited till the owner of the damaged car returned. His father apologized and made compensation payments to the owner.
That evening in their bedroom, Xiaomin g’s father said to his wife, “I’m so sorry for today’s accident due to my carelessness. I can’t excuse myself for that. But you made a mistake too. I’m sure you want our son to grow into an honest and responsible man. How can we achieve that if we ourselve s don’t have the courage to acknowledge our mistakes? I can understand Xiaoming’s panic after the crash but I am disappointed at your response.”
Though put to such shame, Xiaoming’s mother didn’t get angry. “You are right. I lost my judgment in the shock o f the crash. I’ll talk to our son to remove the negative effect of my foolishness,” said Xiaoming’s mother.。
