并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．AIn American schools there is something called Homecoming Day. Many high schools and colleges with a football team have a homecoming game. This can be the most important event of the year except graduation or commencement (毕业典礼)Day. Students plan Homecoming Day many weeks in advance.Several days before Homecoming, students start to decorate the school. There are signs to wish luck to the team, and many other signs to welcome all the graduates. Many people still come to Homecoming twenty or thirty years after their graduation.The members of school clubs build booths(售货棚) and sell lemonade(柠檬汽水)，apples and sandwiches. Some clubs help to welcome visitors.During the day alumni and their wives will gather at the school. They like to look for teachers that they remember. Often they see old friends and they talk together about those happy years in school.Everyone soon comes to watch the football game. When the game is half over, the band comes onto the field and plays school songs. Another important moment is when the Homecoming Queen or King appears. All the students vote the most popular student Homecoming Queen or King. It is a great honor to be chosen.Homecoming is a happy day, but it is not perfect unless the football team wins the game. Even if the game loses, the students still enjoy Homecoming. Some stay at the school to dance, and others go to a party. For everyone it is a day worth remembering.21. The best title of this passage is ________.A. American SchoolB. Homecoming DayC. Homecoming Queen or KingD. Homecoming Game22. Which of the following is NOT done on Homecoming?A. To see old friends.B. To call on teachers they remember.C. To watch the football game.D. To organize clubs.23. The underlined word “ alumni” refers to ________.A. male former students of a school or collegeB. female former students of a school or collegeC. grandfathers of the students in a school or collegeD. grandmothers of the students in a school or collegeBI f you are in a crowd, a first and most important thing is to make yourself familiar with your surroundings(周围的事物) and mentally notice alternate exits. No matter where you are, make sure you always know how to get out.Make sure you know the type of ground you are standing on. For example, in a crowd of moving people wet ground can be dangerous, causing you to fall. You should know the general atmosphere of the event, as panic situations can often be predicted. When in danger, a few seconds can make all the difference, giving you the possibility of taking advantage of your escape route. Always stay closer to the escape routeIf you find yourself in the middle of a moving crowd, do not fight against the pressure, do not stand still or sit down, because you could easily get injured or even be killed by being stepped on by other people. Instead, move in the same direction of the crowd; take advantage of any space that may open up to move sideways to the crowd movement where the flow is weaker. Keep your hands up by your chest, which will protect your chest during the movement.If you fall, get up quickly. If you can’t get up because you are injured, get someone to pull you back up. If you fall and can not get up, keep moving by crawling(爬行)in the same direction of the crowd. Do not lie on your stomach or back, as this is dangerous for your body.The worst situation is to be pushed by the crowd against an immovable object. Try to shun High walls, as the crowd pressure can build up rapidly. After you’re pushed forward, the way you move is on a diagonal(斜线). There’s always space between people. You work your way out that way till you get out of the crowd.26. When you are in a crowd the first thing you do is ____.A. fight against the pressureB. stay closer to an immovable objectC. move in the same direction of the crowdD. be familiar with the surroundings27. When you are in the middle of a moving crowd, ____.A. you must go to the exit quicklyB. you must not stand still or sit downC. you’d better stop moving forwardD. you should push your way out28. The underlined word “shun” in the last paragraph probably means ____.A. leave forB. keep offC. jump onD. break down29. What is the main idea of the passage?A. How to survive the rush crowdB. How to enjoy yourself in a crowdC. How to protect yourself outsideD. How to run away from peopleCSince the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send orders to machines.Recently, two researchers, Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic School in Lausanne, Switzerland, showed a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person's thoughts.In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand. He could even talk as he watched the wheelchair and guided it with his thoughts.“Our brain has billions of nerve cells(神经细胞). These send signals through the spinal cord (脊髓)to the muscles(肌肉) to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles.” Tavella says. “Our system allows disabled people to communicate with outside world and also to control the machine.”The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮)and sends them to a computer. The computer understands the signals and directs the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that recognize objects in its path. They help the computer react to orders from the brain.Prof. Millan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that understands brain signals and turns them into simple orders. “The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be divided into two kinds: communication, and controlling the machine. One exam ple is this wheelchair.”He says his team has set two goals. One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. And the other is to ensure that they can use the technology over long periods of time.32. How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?A. By controlling his muscles.B. By talking to the machine.C. By moving his hand.D. By using his mind.33. Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?A. scalp → computer → cap →wheelchairB. computer → cap → scalp →wheelchairC. scalp → cap → computer →wheelchairD. cap → computer → scalp →wheelchair34. The team will test with real patients to ______.A. make profits from themB. prove the technology useful to themC. make them live longerD. learn about their physical condition35. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Switzerland, the BCI Research CenterB. New Findings About How the Human Brain WorksC. BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the DisabledD. Computer Technology Could Help to Cure Brain InjuriesDHome to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia（怀旧）. It’s fun to come home. It looks the same. It smells the same. You’ll realize what’s changed is you. Home is where we can remember pain, love and some other experiences: We parted here; My parents met here; I won three championships here.If I close my eyes, I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home. I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass-top wooden table. To the right of the living room is my first bedroom. It’s empty, but it’s where my earliest memories are.There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays and where I cried on Halloween---when I didn’t want to wear the skirt my mother made for me. I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong. If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite room in the house, my parents’ room. It is simple: a brown wooden dresser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side. Their bed is my safe zone(区域). I can jump on it anytime---waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning.I’m lucky because I know my first home still exists. It exists in my mind and heart, on a physical property（住宅）on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles. It is proof I lived, I grew, and I learned.Sometimes when I feel lost, I lie down and shut my eyes, and I go home. I know it’s where I’ll find my family, my dogs, and my belongings. I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I’ll be blamed by Mom. But I don’t mind, because I want to hear her say my name, which reminds me I’m home.32. Why does the author call her parents’ bed her “safe zone”（Paragraph 3）?A. It is her favorite place to play.B. Her needs can be satisfied there.C. Her grandparents’ photos are lined on each side.D. Her parents always play together with her there.33. What can be learned from the passage?A. The ol d furniture is still in the author’s first bedroom.B. The author can still visit her first physical home in Los Angeles.C. The author’s favorite room in her first home is the dining room.D. Many people of the author’s age can still find their fi rst physical homes.34. Sometimes when she feels lost, the author will_________ .A. open the window at nightB. lie down in bed to have a dreamC. try to bring back a sense of homeD. go to Los Angeles to visit her mom35. What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?A. To express how much she is attached to her home.B. To declare how much she loves her first house.C. To describe the state of her family.D. To look back on her childhood.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）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。
