16.On a snowy and cold morning,near Oxford Maryland,a friend of mine was about to set the breakfast table when she leaned forward and peered close to the frosted window.She saw a large Canada goose,very(21)still,its wings folded tight to its sides,its feet frozen to the(212)iceon the Tred Avon River.
Then from the dark skies,she saw a line of swans moving steadily and gracefully to the(23)east.Suddenly the leader swung to the right,then the white line became a white circle and(24)floatedfrom the top of the sky downward,and finally(25)landedon the ice.As the swans surrounded the(26)frozengoose,she feared the poor goose might lose its(27)lifequickly.
Instead,amazingly instead,those swans began to woke(用利喙啄) on the ice.The long(28)neckswere lifted and curved down,again and again; it went on for a long time.At last,the goose's head(29)lifted.Its body pulled.Then the goose was(30)free.Following the31leader,the swans rose again.As the goose was(33)movingits big feet slowly,the swans stood in the air watching.(33)Then,as if it had cried,"I cannot fly,"four of the swans came down (34)aroundit.Their powerful beaks scraped the goose's wings from top to bottom,scuttled under its wings and(35)rode upits body,chipping off the ice held in the feathers.(36)Whenat last the wings were able to spread and reach their fullest,the four swans(37)tookoff and joined their group,going on with their eastward journey.Behind them,rising with incredible speed and(38)thanks,the goose moved into the(39)skyand joined the elegant line.
My friend watched them until they(40)disappeared.Only then did she realize that tears were running down her cheeks.She said to herself:"If so for birds,why not for man?"

Merkel was born in Hamburg,West Germany,on July 17,1954.Six weeks after she was born,her family moved to Templin.As a small child,Merkel quickly learned to speak but took longer to walk."I was a stupid person when it came to moving?"Merkel said."A normal person could do something naturally,but I had to think about it in my mind and practice."As a teenager,she was the top student and graduated from high school with perfect marks.In 1973,Merkel went to the University of Leipzig,where she studied physics.At 32,she got her doctor's degree in physics.

7.Questions:
A.What should people look out for when buying a new pair of sports shoes?
B.What kind of technology might we see in sports shoes of the future?
C.Will a more expensive shoe make me run faster or jump higher,as the ads suggest?
D.When you say that expensive shoes are no better at preventing injury than cheap ones,is it true?
E.Some people say we should run just as well without shoes.What's your opinion of that?
F.You helped develop the unstable Masai MBT shoes.Does this design actually work?

46.D
Nigg's Answer:That is a little bit overstated.But the relative frequency of running injuries doesn't seem to have changed much in the past 30years,in spite of all the developments in sports shoe design.The literature shows that shoes are a minor player in injury development.If you take a group of people and want to injure them,send them out every day for a 20-kilometre run.A lot of them will be injured in three weeks.The major factors are the distance run,the intensity and recovery time,not the shoes.
47.A
Nigg's Answer:The problem is that if you go to a store and want to find your best shoes,you don't know what to do.Things that are sometimes done,like video analysis of your rear foot movement,may not help.The only way to assess whether a shoe is right for you is how it feels.If you feel comfortable in a shoe,it's likely to be good for you.We did a study with soldiers where we gave them six different inserts,and they chose the one they liked best.In four months those with inserts had 53per cent fewer injuries than those without.
48.C
Nigg's Answer:A shoe may act as a training device,making some muscles to function more effectively for a majority of users.Or it may use materials that last longer.That may have something to do with its price.However,for the average runner it is difficult to distinguish between actual functional designs and unnecessary features.Generally,the more a shoe controls movement,the more it acts like a cast,which means you have some muscles that don't work any more.This may mean that you lose some muscle strength,and your feet are more likely to be injured.
49.E
Nigg's Answer:There are claims that there are fewer injuries when you run barefoot,but there is not yet enough evidence,or enough research,to prove that.If you look at performance,most papers suggest an advantage of 3to 4per cent.With a few exceptions-Abebe Bikila in 1960and Zola Budd in the 1980s-people don't run barefoot,so it may be that it's not an advantage,or it may be that we're just not used to it.
50.F
Nigg's Answer:Yes,for about 80per cent of people.The major benefits are training the small muscles crossing the ankle joint,and a reduction of knee and lower back pain.However,some claims for these unstable shoes are overstated,such as the general muscle strengthening that they are claimed to produce.

4.A Kindle is a product from Amazon which allows you to download books and read them anywhere,without having to carry around lots of heavy books.It is also really useful when you go on holiday if you read a lot and quickly.
I bought my Kindle two years ago after seeing my sister with one.Before,I didn't want one,as I love the satisfaction that comes from reading a book from cover to cover.However,one day,after using my sister's I fell in love with it.It is easy to download any book you can imagine from the website.One minute you see the book online,the next it is in your hands.And you can read a wide range of books-from classic books such as Pride and Prejudice and works by Shakespeare,to modern comedy books.
Another thing I love about the Kindle is the  privacy.You can read absolutely anything on there and nobody will know!For example,if you want to read a book which might be advertised as a children's book,you can secretly read it and everyone will believe you are reading a deeply thoughtful novel!
Reading a Kindle gives you a chance to escape the real world.You can also do this with normal books,but the secrecy and excitement of downloading a new book onto your device adds to the magic.
This doesn't mean I have completely given up reading physical books.I still love them.I often go into old bookshops and find a well-known novel for£1,or borrow old books from my grandfather's library.There is a worry that with all this new technology there will no longer be a place for physical books,which would be a crying shame.So,I definitely recommend getting yourself a Kindle,but please,don't forget about physical books,either!

66.According to the passage,people can use a Kindle toB.
A.download films and see them        B.download books and read them
C.download music and listen to it    D.download games and play them
67.When did the author begin to love the Kindle?A
A.After she used her sister's.     B.After she saw one in the shop.
C.Before her sister bought one.     D.When she saw its advertisement.
68.The meaning of the underlined word"privacy"in Paragraph 3is close to"B".
A.agency     B.secret       C.policy     D.community
69.How should people who get a Kindle deal with physical books?C
A.They should forget them.          B.They should never buy them.
C.They should also read them.      D.They should throw them away.
70.What's the author's attitude towards using a Kindle?A
A.Supportive.  B.Negative.  C.Unconcerned.  D.Unknown.

11.Starry Night
Have you ever seen a real night sky that looks like Van Gogh's Starry Night?I hope not!So,why would an artist paint the sky this way?Perhaps I can answer that with another question.When you're happy,why do you sing instead of speaking?Or when you're in love,why do you speak of roses and honey?When we do these things,we,too are artists.We're using something that goes beyond a mere scientific description in order to communicate our feelings more powerfully than straightforward words can.So consider for a moment that Van Gogh might not have been hallucinating (产生幻觉的) on the night he painted this.Maybe he felt something so powerful that he had to go beyond the familiar to express it.
I hope I'm reminding you of something you already know as I describe the experience of being outside at night under a crystal clear sky that makes everything seem clean and refreshing.So you look up.And suddenly you see the sky that you've seldom seen before.It's not just the same old dark night sky tonight.Instead,the blackness is a deep,rich blue that is more bottomless than any ocean.The stars are not spots of light but brilliant,magical diamonds that dance like tiny angels.In just this special moment,the sky is somehow alive,and it seems to speak to you silently about the meaning of infinity (无限).
Now look at the painting again.Can you see something of what makes this such a famous and well-loved image?But there's more here than that.Van Gogh painted this while he was quite struck down by a mental disease.It is natural to imagine that he frequently battled the fear that he would never escape his prison to true freedom.It is natural for us to imagine this because each of us has faced our own personal prison,whether it be disease,the loss of a loved one,serious financial problems …In such moments it is tempting to give up to despair (绝望) and collapse in hopelessness.
Looking at this painting,I imagine Van Gogh in just such a moment of despair,when he is struck by the memory of one of those amazing night skies.He recalls the sense that he is not alone,that there is a living,infinite world with rich colorful creatures and scenes all around.
And so the sky flows across the canvas (画布) full of vitality (活力) and power.The stars don't just sparkle; they explode.Looking closer,we notice that the earth itself seems to respond to the movement in the sky,forming its own living waves in the mountain and rolling trees.In the sleepy village,the windows of the houses glow (发光) with the same light that brightens the universe.The giant trees at the left seem to capture the joy by stretching upwards toward the sky.
What a tremendous message of hope there is in this masterpiece!Even if our troubles persist,the world around us assures us that life is worth living.That's what the angels sing about.Doesn't it make you want to sing,too?

67.Looking at the painting Starry Night,we can see all the following exceptA.
A.The singing angels
B.the giant trees
C.the sleepy village
D.the sparkling stars
68.Van Gogh does NOT describe a feeling ofA through the Starry Night.
A.happiness  B.vitality  C.power  D.despair
69.The underlined word"prison"in the 3rd paragraph probably meansA.
A.trouble in one's life
B.mental illness
C.control from the authority
D.a place where criminals are kept
70.What is the main purpose of this passage?B
A.To explain how Van Gogh painted the Starry Night.
B.To tell us how to appreciate the Starry Night.
C.To prove Van Gogh was in a hallucinating state of mind while painting the picture.
D.To show us the beauty of the sky on a starry night.

5.Earlier and earlier,today's parents seek out every advantage for their child,from eating organic foods during pregnancy(怀孕)to breastfeeding to choosing a good name.
A new survey from Baby Center.com shows that most expectant (未来的) parents believe their baby name choice contributes to their child's future success in life,and they very much want to get it right.
Over 35,000parents from around the world responded to the survey."Naming a child is an exciting milestone of new parenthood,so we were curious to understand what factors influence parents today,"says BabyCenter executive editor Linda Murray.The survey shows that 52percent of expectant parents believe the name they give their child contributes to his or her success in life.This is a significant change from the BabyCenter survey taken over five years ago,when just 40percent of expectant parents agreed with the statement.
Bellevue University professor Cleveland Evans says that the results may reflect a growing concern about financial security among parents."Polls show that many Americans are worried about the economy,"Evans points out.As a result,parents may be more focused on questions of success when choosing a name than they were five years ago.
The survey also indicates that parents have become more egalitarian.Five years ago,just 60percent of expectant parents said each parents'opinion was equally important when choosing a name,but that number has increased to 84percent in the survey."In addition to being in the delivery room and taking time off work for paternity leave(父亲假),this is one more way in which modern dads are participating more actively,"says Murray.
Results from the survey seem to indicate that fathers exert(施加) the most influence on boys'names.As Dad's opinion increases in importance,strength replaces individuality as the quality parents most want their son's name to convey.For girls'names,individuality remains the most important feature.
