Dutch Resistance MuseumBWhen one California construction worker, Colin Blevin arrived at work at around 7 a.m. on Monday morning, he noticed a car was blocking the entranceway to the construction site. While asking the driver to move, Colin spotted a baby in a car seat. ―He moved the car and I pulled in,‖ Blevin said. ―The back door was cracked open and I saw a baby.Blevin had no idea that earlier that morning, a car with a 1-year-old had been stolen about 90 miles away wh ile the baby‘s father ran inside to order his lunch. ―I didn‘t know what was going on. I didn‘t know initially the baby was in danger and there was an AMBER Alert,‖ Blevin said.Even though everything appeared pretty normal, Blevin‘s instincts told him som ething was wrong. After parking his car, a local woman walked over and confirmed his suspicions. The lady told him quietly, ―Help me save this baby.‖ She said, ―You have to save this baby. The guy tried to give it to me.‖ He looked into the car and there was a beautiful chunky baby looking at him. The baby was calm, clean, with a bottle on his chest.Blevin met the man, 44-year-old Raymond Randy Gutierrez, and asked whose baby was in the car. ―He said a lady gave him the car and left the baby in the car,‖ Blevin said. ―And right away I thought that makes no sense. The baby was well taken care of and this guy was dirty, skinny and nervous.‖ Blevin grabbed the baby from the car and Gutierrez ran away when he called 911. Police caught Gutierrez later that day and were able to reunite the baby with his parents.24. How did the driver get the car?A. A father left it to him.B. He stole it.C. A lady gave it to him.D.

But that‘s not necessarily a bad thing.―I don‘t think kids should be assessed on their ability to master cursive(草书). It‘s not something that they are going to use much in their lives as they grow older. It‘s not something most of us adults use in our lives today. ‖ Anne Trubek, an author, suggests that schools offer handwriting or cursive as an elective or art class in the future.―Focus on how to teach kids to express their ideas, how to organize their thoughts, how to make arguments‖ she says. ―The forming of the letters are less important. And there are certainly many ways to individualize what you write beyond the way you‘ve circled the ‗I‘ or crossed your ‗T‘.‖―This myth that handwriting is just a motor skill is just plain wrong,‖ Virginia Berninger said. ―We use motor parts of our brain, motor planning, motor control, but what‘s very critical is a region of our brain where the visual and language come together and actually become letters and written words.‖―A lot of people are very stubborn about the importance of handwriting, but at the same time will admit they never write themselves,‖ Trubek says.Trubek suggests, however, that handwriting keeps some value –for now. ―For us today, in the 21st century America, handwriting represents something individual and unique about a person. It doesn‘t always mean that in previous times in history, and it won‘t always mean that in the future, but right now for us we relate our sense of self to our handwriting. ‖28. How does Trubek feel about the handwriting?A. It‘s useless.B. It‘s only an art.C. It‘s less important.D. It‘s meaningful.29. Virginia Berninger‘s attitude to the use of handwriting is ______.A. ambiguousB. doubtfulC. favorableD. disapproving30. What do we know from the last paragraph?A. Handwriting still keeps some value today.B. Handwriting represents previous times in history.C. Handwriting reflects the past and the future.D. The computer makes handwriting out of date.31. What is the author‘s purpose in writing the text?A. To show people‘s worry about future.B. To discuss the importance of handwriting.C. To introduce something about handwriting.D. To encourage people to practice handwriting.DBirds have been observed to sleep while in flight for the first time ever. Because of some flights that can often last several days, weeks, or even longer, some sea birds have long been thought of being able to fall fully asleep while ―on the wing‖, though it was not proven.Now researchers say they have evidence which shows birds can sleep in flight. Scientists from Max Planck Institute used a sample of 15 adult female frigatebirds (军舰鸟) to test the sleep patterns. Each bird had a small electroencephalogram (EEG脑电图) sensor fitted to record changes in the animals‘brain activity as they flew for up to 10 days and over 3,000 kilometres.The readings showed that during flight the birds could sleep using one hemisphere of the brain, or bothtogether. It was known that frigatebirds could sleep with one ―half‖ of the brain, which allows them to keep one eye open and ―connected‖ to the awake half.According to the research, it is sleeping technique used by birds for finding directions. ―Frigatebirds sleep mostly while circling in rising air and keep the eye connected to the awake hemisphere facing the direction of flight, suggesting that they watch where they are going,‖ says the study.Despite the ability to fall ―fully‖ asleep, the birds were found to do it less in the air compared to one land. They slept ―very little and less deeply while in flight. This suggests that though it is possible, falling totally asleep is not very good during flight which will need the bird‘s attention.The researchers said the short sleep could be serving as ―power naps‖ to keep the birds going until they return to land. Further study could help us understand why lack of sleep affects humans so badly.32. The phrase ―on the wing‖ in the first paragraph may mean __________.A. sleeping.B. fighting.C. flying.D. thinking.33. Why did the researchers fit the frigatebirds with EEG sensors?A. To know animals‘ brain activity.B. To get some of the good samples.C. To help the birds fly much longer.D. To use the birds to find directions.34. How do the sleeping birds find the directions?A. They keep one eye connected to the awake part.B. They sleep less when they are circling in rising air.C. They pay special attention to the way.D. They have a good sleep before they start flying.35. What is the best title of the text?A. A Study on Birds in FlightB. Birds Can Sleep in FlightC. Flying Birds‘ Brain ActivityD. Sleep With Half of the Brain第二节根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项.Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning, and put the blame on the alarm clock. In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resetting your body clock. 36___ Here‘s how to make one.●___37 _ In order to make a change, you need to decide why it‘s important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reasons, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.●Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your morning activities. If you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time the night before by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags. 38 That‘s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.●Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends. If you‘re tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful. But compensating on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found. 39 .●Keep a record and evaluate it weekly.
