In a recent TV program of “Unsolved Mysteries”, there was a young boy who was the victim of the holocaust (大屠杀). He’d been 11 in a work camp for several years and somehow had managed to survive the 12 of his imprisonment.The story was of a boy — now in his sixties — and his quest to find an American soldier who had 13 on a kindness to him by 14 some food. It might seem 15 , but to this child, who had seen 16 but cruelty and inhumanity for 17 he could remember, it was a 18 that marked a turning point in his life, for he had lost hope. When he was liberated by the American forces, he was dying. He 19 needed food. 20 he was struggling along the road, a young soldier 21 down from his tank and gave him some of his supplies. With this one act of generosity, the kind American had aroused the 22 again that there really was some good in the world. And the boy never 23 it. The boy later went to America, raised a family, became successful and worked hard to repay the 24 he had received with his own.Actually there were so many similar acts of generosity that it would be almost impossible to know 25 who the soldier was.We all have a choice: to create more light in the world. As Confucius 26 over 2500 years ago, “It is better to 27 one small candle than to curse (诅咒) the darkness.”As the story above so nicely 28 small gestures can often produce huge 29 .

A 3-foot-long black-and-white snake twisted around his left arm and had just bitten his little finger.“The babysitter was frightened to death,” said Teddy’s father, David Lasry, who, along with his wife, Evelyn, was at work when the snake appeared about 4:00 pm.The horrified babysitter called 911 and the building’s doorman. The doorman and two cable TV workers helped take the snake off the boy’s arm and p ut it in a garbage bag. Police rushed Teddy to Mount Sinai Medical Center, where he spent two hours attached to a heart monitor as a precaution in case the snake was poisonous. It wasn’t. Experts at the snakebite treatment center at Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx, where policemen took the snake, found out it was a non-poisonous California king snake.But how did it end up in Teddy’s bed?A little detective work determined that the snake had escaped two weeks ago from its cage in the apartment of a doctor whose family lives four floors below the Lasrys. The apologetic owner said his son’s pet snake likely traveled up the water pipes and into his neighbor’s apartment. “It’s a very gentle, very harmless snake,” he said. “It’s handled by our family all the time.”David Lasry believed the pet was simply hungry after two weeks of wandering. Evelyn said her son seems to have overcome his fright by thinking of himself as a hero cowboy as he rode in the back of the police car to the hospital.“I told Teddy he’s a pretty snake, a nice pet snake who got out of his cage,” Evelyn said. “But he asked, ‘Why did he bite my finger, Mamma?’ And I said, ‘Because he saw that you are a big boy, Teddy, in your cowboy outfit and he got scared.’”35.

She was raised in an African American family filled with songs and stories of Southern myths, which later shaped her writing. Her happy family life led to her excellent performance in school, despite the atmosphere of racial discrimination in the society.After graduating from college, Morrison started to work as a teacher and got married in 1958. Several years later, her marriage began to fail. For a temporary escape, she joined a small writers’ group, in which each member was required to bring a story or poem for discussion. She wrote a story based on the life of a girl she knew in childhood who had prayed to God for blue eyes. The story was well received by the group, but then she put it away, thinking she was done with it.In 1964, Morrison got divorced and devoted herself to writing. One day, she dusted off the story she had written for the writers’ group and decided to make it into a novel. She drew on her memories from childhood and expanded upon them using her imagination so that the characters developed a life of their own. The Bluest Eye was eventually published in 1970. From 1970 to 1992, Morrison published five more novels.In her novels, Morrison brings in different elements of the African American past, their struggles, problems and cultural memory. In Song of Solomon, for example, Morrison tells the story of an African American man and his search for identity in his culture. The novels and other works won her several prizes. In 1993, Morrison received the Nobel Prize in Literature. She is the eighth woman and the first African American woman to win the honor.39. What is the passage mainly about?A.

In addition to traditional course materials such as videos, readings, and problem sets, MOOCs provide interactive user forums that help build a community for the students, professors, and teaching assistants.MOOCs first made waves in the fall of 2011, when Professor Sebastian Thrun from Stanford University opened his graduate-level artificial intelligence course up to any student anywhere, and 160,000 students in more than 190 countries signed up. This new kind of online classes is shaking up the higher education world in many ways. Since the courses can be taken by hundreds of thousands of students at the same time, the number of universities might decrease dramatically. Professor Thrun has even envisioned (展望) a future in which there will only need to be 10 universities in the world. Perhaps the most striking thing about MOOCs, many of which are being taught by professors at prestigious (有声誉的) universities, is that they’re free. This is certainly good news for cash-strapped students.There is a lot of excitement and fear surrounding MOOCs. While some say free online courses are a great way to increase the enrollment (注册) of minority students, others have said they will leave many students behind. Some critics (批评者) have said that MOOCs promote an unrealistic one-size-fits-all model of higher education and that there is no replacement for true dialogues between professors and their students. After all, a brain is not a computer. We are not blank hard drives waiting to be filled with data. People learn from people they love and remember the things that arouse emotion. Some critics worry that online students will miss out on the social aspects of college.43. What does the word underlined “cash-strapped” in the second paragraph mean?A. Making a lot of money.B. Being short of money.C. Being careful with money.D. Spending little money.44. Which of the following is true about MOOCs?A. It is cheap to take the courses.B. Most courses are about artificial intelligence.C. Many courses are offered by famous universities.D. It has caused the decrease of numbers of universities.45. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The effect of MOOCs.B. The goal of MOOCs.C. The size of MOOC classes.D. The cost of MOOC courses.46. Which of the following is a problem of MOOCs mentioned in the passage?A. The disappearance of traditional course materials.B. The limited number of courses offered around the world.C. The lack of social interaction among students and professors.D. The over reliance on professors from prestigious universities.EToday the car seems to make periodic leaps in progress. A variety of driver assistance technologies are appearing on new cars. A developing technology called Vehicle-to-Vehicle communication, or V2V, is being tested by automotive manufacturers (制造商) as a way to help reduce the number of accidents. V2V works by using wireless signals to send information back and forth between cars about their location, speed and direction, so that they keep safe distances from each other. Another new technology being tested is Vehicle-to-Infrastructure communication, or V2I. V2I would allow vehicles to communicate with road signs or traffic signals and provide information to the vehicle about safety issues. V2I could also request traffic information from a traffic management system and access the best possible routes. Both V2V and V2I have the potential to reduce around 80 percent of vehicle crashes on the road.More and more new cars can reverse-park, read traffic signs, maintain a safe distance in steady traffic and brake automatically to avoid crashes. Moreover, a number of firms are creating cars that drive themselves to a chosen destination without a human at the controls. It is predicted that driverless cars will be ready for sale within five years. That may be optimistic, but if and when cars go completely driverless, the benefits will be enormous.Google, which already uses prototypes (原型) of such cars to transport its staff along Californian freeways, once put a blind man in a prototype and filmed him being driven off to buy takeaway hamburgers. If this works, huge numbers of elderly and disabled people can regain their personal mobility. The young will not have to pay crippling motor insurance, because their reckless (鲁莽的) hands and feet will no longer touch the wheel or the accelerator (加速器). People who travel to and from work by car will gain hours each day to work, rest, or read a newspaper.47. Which of the following statements is true about V2V?A. V2V communication has been very well developed.B. Through V2V, drivers can chat with each other on the road.C. Through V2V, a car can warn cyclists nearby of its approach.D. V2V is designed to decrease crashes by keeping safe distances.48. What does “infrastructure” in Vehicle-to-Infrastructure refer to?A. The basic structure of roads and bridges.B. Traffic facilities and information systems.C. The traffic department of the government.C. Knowledge and regulations about safe driving.49. What change might driverless cars cause?A. There will be no need to build wider roads.B. People can race cars to their heart’s content.C. People will have to pay higher car insurance.D. “Drivers” can sleep in cars all the way to work.50. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Cars will refuse to start if the driver is drunk.B. The future may be a vehicle-accident-free age.C. Everyone, including children, can afford a car.D. The production of driverless cars is still far away.第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
