A world-famous Canadian author，Margaret Atwood，has created the world's first long-distance signing device（装置），the LongPen.
After many tiring book-signing tours from city to city，Atwood thought there must be a better way to do them. She hired some technical experts and started her own company in 2004. Together they designed the LongPen. Here's how it works：The author writes a personal message and signature on a computer tablet（手写板）using a special pen. On the receiving end，in another city，a robotic arm fitted with a regular pen signs
the book. The author and fan can talk with each other via webcams（网络摄像机）and computer screens.
Work on the LongPen began in Atwood's basement（地下室）．At first，they had no idea it would be as hard as it turned out to be．The device went through several versions，including one that actually had smoke coming out of it. The inventing finally completed，test runs were made in Ottawa，and the LongPen was officially launched at the 2006 London Book Fair. From here，Atwood conducted two transatlantic book signings of her latest book for fans in Toronto and New York City.
The LongPen produces a unique signature each time because it copies the movement of the author in real time. It has several other potential applications．It could increase credit card security and allow people to sign contracts from another province．The video exchange between signer and receiver can be recorded on DVD for proof when legal documents are used.
“It's really fun，”said the owrrer of a bookstore，who was present for one of the test runs．“Obviously you can't shake hand s with the author，but there are chances for a connection that you don't get from a regular book signing.”
The response to the invention hasn't been all favorable．Atwood has received criticism from authors who think she's trying to end book tours. But she said，“It will be possible to go to places that you never got sent to before because the publishers couldn't afford it.”
56．Why did Atwood decide to invent the LongPen?
A．To set up her own company. B．To win herself greater popularity.
C．To write her books in a new way. D．To make book signings less tiring．57．How does the LongPen work?
A．It copies the author's signature and prints it on a book.
B．It signs a book while receiving the author's signature.
C．The webcam sends the author's signature to another city.
D．The fan uses it to copy the author's signature himself.
58．What do we know about the invention of the LongPen?
A．It has been completed but not put into use. B．The basement caught fire by
accident.
C．Some versions failed before its test run. D．The designers were well-prepared for the difficulty.
59．How could the LongPen be used in the future?
A．To draft legal documents． B．To improve credit card security.
C．To keep a record of the author's ideas. D．To allow author and fan to exchange videos.
60．What could be inferred from Paragraphs 5 and 6?
A．Atwood doesn't mean to end book tours． B．Critics think the LongPen is of little use.
C．Bookstore owners don't support the LongPen. D．Publishers dislike the LongPen for its high cost.

The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphone, writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的)skill. However, while today’s educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be succe ssful---both in school and in life.
Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says it’s important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.
Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks---both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate.
In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to know well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts. It is allowing our written
language to connect with ideas.” Berninger said.
Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe(转换) “those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. Seeing the words in the “mind’s eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says Berninger, but also to spot(发现) spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct then over time.
“In our computer age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won’t have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options gi ven by the computer.”
61. What makes writing by hand a thing of the past?
A. The absence of blackboard in classroom.
B. The use of new technologies in teaching.
C. The lack of practice in handwriting.
D. The popular use of smartphones.
62. Berninger’s st udy published in 2009 ___________.
A. focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computer.
B. indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paper.
C. found that good essays are made up of long sentences.
D. discussed the importance of writing speed.
63. Which of the following best shows the role of spelling?
A. Spelling improves one’s memory of words.
B. Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability.
C. Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.
D. Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas.
64. What does “mind’s eye” in paragraph 5 mea n?
A. Window.
B. Soul
C. Picture.
D. Imagination.
65. What conclusion could be drawn from the passage?
A. Computers can help people with their choice of words.
B. Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.
C. Handwriting still has a place in today’s classrooms.
D. Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.
D
You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame y ourself for all your problems, thus internalizing(内化)your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.
Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they don’t let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don’t blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred(神圣的)moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.
Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish (沉溺)in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others---and even th emselves---to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.
In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.
In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.
66. What does the word “they” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?
A. People and things around you.
B. Opportunities and problems.
C. Creators and their choices.
D. Victims and their sufferings.
67. According to Paragraph 2, creators __________.
A. seem willing to experience failures in life
B. possess the ability to predict future life
C. handle ups and downs of life wisely
D. have potential to create something new
68. What can we learn fro m Paragraph 3?
A. Creators and victims face quite different things in life.
B. Creators and victims are masters of their lives.
C. Victims can influence more people than creators.
D. Compared with victims, creators are more emotional.
69. The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show that _______________.
A. strong attachment to sufferings in life pulls people into vic tims.
B. people need family support to deal with challengers in life.
C. it takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their pains.
D. one’s experiences determine his attitude toward life.
70. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To define victims and creators.
B. To evaluate victims against creators.
C. To explain the relationship between victims and creators.
D. To suggest the transformation from victims to creators.

阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Born in 1949, Diana Nyad took an early interest in swimming as a sport and was a Florida State High School swimming champion. Like many young athletes, she had Olympic dreams, but a serious illness kept her from competing in the Games. The
disappointment didn’t stop her from going forward. Instead, she became interested in marathon swimming. A brilliant athlete, she was well-conditioned for spending long periods of time in the water. As a long-distance swimmer, she would compete against herself and the obstacles presented by distance, danger, cold, and exhaustion.
For ten years Nyad devoted herself to becoming one of the world’s best long-distance swimmers. In 1970, she swam a ten-mile marathon in Lake Ontario, setting the women’s record for the course. In 1972 she set another record by swimming 102.5 miles from an island in the Bahamas to the coast of Florida. Then she broke a third record when swimming around Manhattan Island in 1975.
Nyad attempted to swim the distance between Florida and Cuba in 1978. Though the span of water is less than 100 miles wide, it is rough and dangerous. After battling the water for two days, she had to give for the sake of her own health and safety. Even so, she impressed the world with her courage and strong desire to succeed. For Nyad her strength of purpose was just as important as reading Cuba. That is how she defined success. It did not matter that her swim came up short; she believed she had touched the other shore.
When Nyad ended her career as a swimmer, she continued to try new things---travelling the world as a reporter, writing books and giving public speeches about her life. Diana Nyad works to inspire others, just as she did when she swam the waters of the world.
71. What prevented Nyad from taking part in the Olympic Games? (No more than 5 words) __________________________________________________________________________
72. What does the underlined word “obstacles” mean? (1 word)

73. What achievement did Nyad make in 1970? (No more than 10 words.)

75. Please explain how you are inspired by Nyad. (No more than 20 words)
