A
For most seventh graders, life doesn't get much harder than a history test. But for Grant Reed of
Bellville, Ohio, it's his own current events that are so painful. “Honestly, I don't want to die,”Grant says. Last year, doctors at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus found a tumor (肿瘤) in Grant's brain. They cut it out, but the surgery left him with stroe-lie symptoms. Plus, he had to go through months of radiation and chemotherapy to try to stop the spread of the disease.
Yet, through it all, Grant has shown remarable 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 Michigan game. His cat is named after the team Buceye. His wardrobe is painted scarlet (the color of the team's sportswear). The point is, almost nothing mattered more to Grant than Ohio State football--until he got sic, of course.
“I didn't lie the word cancer,”Grant says. So he decided not to use the word. Instead, the id 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 mae it into a competition. He was going to beat this disease.
It's now been more than a year since Grant issued that announcement. “And if you loo at his scans," Dr. Randal at Nationwide Children's says, “There's nothing there. There's a big space, but there's no tumor.”
“Grant is beating Michigan. And although much of it has to go to science, don't ignore the semantics(语义学). You have to do something to mae it a disease you can fight. And for Grant, that was naming it Michigan,”his parents say.
This weeend, Ohio State and Michigan will be battling lie their lives depend on it. But in this house, the Reed family will be watching with a calm insight it's just a game.
21. What's the main idea of the first 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 maes a full man
C. interest is the best teacher
D. God helps those who help themselves
23. By saying that it's 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 weeend
C. has a better understanding of life
D. views the match as 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 you 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 spoe to Mr. Brown by Sype. He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States. There he 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 wasn’t until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realied they actually put in a destination bac on the West Coast where they lived. They actually put their home address in. So again, the GPS is ind of ‘garbage in garbage out’.”
Mr. Brown says this is a common human error. But, he says, what maes the problem worse has something to do with some of the shortcomings, or failures, of GPS equipment. Barry Brown “One problem with a lot of the GPS units is that they have a very small screen and they just tell you the net turn. Because they just give you the net turn, sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to now that it is going to the wrong place.”
Barry Brown formerly served as a professor with the University of California, San Diego. While there, he wored 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 people’s cars. They wrote a paper based on their research. It is called “The 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 mae GPS systems better we need a better understanding of how drivers, passengers and GPS systems wor together.”
24. In Para. 2, Mr. Brown mentioned his friend in the conversation to ________.
A. laugh at his stupid friend
B. describe an eample of human error
C. build up his own reputation
D. prove the GPS system is only garbage
25. Which of the following statement would Barry Brown be most liely 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 shortcomings of GPS equipment are more liely 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 best title for the tet?
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 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 a diet for the better --or worse-- part of my life. Being rich wouldn't be bad either, but that won’t happen unless an unnown relative dies suddenly in some distant land, leaving me millions of dollars.
Where did we go off the trac? When did eating butter become a sin(罪恶), and a little bit of etra flesh unappealing, if not unpleasant? All religions have certain days when people stop from eating and overeating is one of Christianity's 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 morals,
and fatness a sign of wealth and well-being.
Today the opposite is true. We have shifted to thinness as our new mar of virtue. The result is that being fat -- or even only somewhat overweight -- is bad because it implies a lac of moral strength.
Our obsession（迷恋）with thinness is also fueled 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 ris of heart and blood vessel disease. These diseases, however, may have as much to do with our way of life and our high-fat diets as with ecess weight. And the associated ris of cancer in the digestive system may be more of a dietary problem -- too much fat and a lac of fiber -- than a weight problem.
The real concern, then, is not that we weigh too much, but that we neither eercise enough nor eat well. Eercise is necessary 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 thin they 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. looing slim is a symbol of having a large fortune
B. being thin is viewed as a much desired quality
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 trac
B. had to go on a diet for the greater part of her life
C. had to see help from rich distant relatives
D. had to wear highly fashionable clothes
30. In human history, people's 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. What's the author's advice to women 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 loo healthy.
D. They should be more concerned with their overall life style.
D
The wallet is heading for etinction. As a day-to-day essential, it will die off with the generation who read print newspapers. The ind 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), lie buying a bar of chocolate or a pint of mil from a corner 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 Becham on Dover Street, for instance, you don’t go and stand at any ind of cash register when you decide to pay. The staff are equipped with iPads to tae your payment while you rela on a sofa.
Across society, the abstraction of the idea of cash maes me uneasy. Maybe I’m just old-fashioned. But earning money isn’t quic or easy for most of us. Isn’t it a bit weird(怪异) that spending it should happen in half a blin (眨眼) of an eye? Doesn’t a wallet, that time-honored Friday-night feeling of pleasing, promising fatness, represent something that matters?
But I’ll leave the economics to the eperts. What bothers me about the death of the wallet is the change it represents in our physical environment. Everything about the loo 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 ticets, is the very opposite of what our world is becoming. The opposite of a wallet is a smart phone or an iPad. The rounded edges, cool glass, smooth and unnowable 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 happening 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 maes the author feel uncomfortable 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.

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。

Being Left-handed in a Right-handed World
The world is designed for right-handed people, but why does a tenth of the population prefer the left?
36
The answer to it remains a bit of a mystery. Since scientists have noticed that left-handedness tends to run in families, it’s assumed that left-handedness has a genetic(基因的) component to it. 37 In fact, identical twins, who share the same genes, can sometimes prefer to use different hands. There are also plenty of theories on what else might determine which hand you write with, but many eperts believe that it’s ind of random.
Historically, the left side and left-handedness have been considered a negative thing by many cultures.
38 In some areas, the left hand became nown as the “unclean”hand. In many religions, the right hand of God is the favored hand. For eample, Jesus sits at God’s right side. God’s left hand, however, is the hand of judgement. Various activities and eperiences become rude or even signs of bad luc when the left hand becomes involved. In some parts of Scotland, it is considered bad luc to meet a left-handed person at the start of a journey. 39 A person giving directions will put their left hand behind them and even physically try to point with their right hand if necessary. In some Asian countries, eating with the left hand is considered impolite.
40 People come to realie that left-handedness is natural. People even noticed that many famous
people are left-handed, including Benjamin Franlin, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Charlie Chaplin. Some researchers find out that lefties are more creative and can deal with abstract thining better. The left-handedness is more easily adaptable to the right-handed world as well. Being left-handed is no longer a sad story now; instead, it is a wonderful gift or maybe it is something you should tae pride in.
A. In other words, left-handers are born that way.
B. Left-handedness used to be regarded as a disability.
C. The unfavorable associations of the use of the left hand among cultures are varied.
D. Why do they prefer to use their left hand rather than their right hand for routine activities?
E. Why do some parents force their left-handed children to become right-handed when writing?
F. In Ghana, pointing, gesturing, giving or receiving items with the left hand is considered rude.
G. Fortunately, nowadays most societies and cultures no longer reject left-handedness lie before.
