17.In 1943,when I was 4,my parents moved from Coeur d'Alene,Idaho,to Fairbanks,Alaska,where adventure was never very far away.
We arrived in the summer,just in time to enjoy the midnight sun.All that sunlight was fantastic for Mom's vegetable garden.Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off,so she didn't care much about my bedtime.
Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mom was his clerk.That left me in a mess.I usually managed to find some trouble to get into.Once I had a little fire going in the dirt basement of a hotel.I had tried to light a barrel (桶) of paint but couldn't really get a good fire going.The smoke got pretty bad,though,and when I made my exit,a crowd and the police were there to greet me.The policemen took my matches and drove me home.
Mom and Dad were occupied/busy in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me,and they did!I had a tour of the prison before Mom rescued me.1 hadn't turned 5 yet.
As I entered kindergarten,the serious cold began to set in.Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail(栏杆) at school?
As for Leonhard Seppala,famous as a dog sledder (驾雪橇者),I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday.At the time I didn't realize what a superstar he was,but I do remember the ride well.I was wrapped heavily and well sheltered (保护) from the freezing and blowing weather.
In 1950,we moved back to Coeur d'Alene,but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska.
25.What can be inferred about the author's family?D
A.His father was a cruel man.
B.His parents didn't love him.
C.His mother didn't have any jobs.
D.His parents used to be very busy.
26.What happened when the author was 4?D
A.He learned to smoke.
B.He was locked in a basement.
C.He was arrested(拘捕) by the police.
D.He nearly caused a fire accident.
27.Which of the following is true?A
A.Leonhard was good at driving dog sleds.
B.The author spent his whole childhood in Alaska.
C.Leonhard often visited the author's family after 1950.
D.The author suffered a lot while taking the dog sled in Alaska.
28.What is the author's purpose of writing the text?B
A.To describe the extreme weather of Alaska.
B.To look back on his childhood with adventures.
C.To express how much he misses Leonhard.
D.To show off his pride in making trouble.

分析 本文是一篇记叙文.作者在文中回忆了在他童年时,由于父母的忙碌,在他身上所发生的一些奇遇--点燃油漆,差点引起火灾,而被警察收容;上幼儿园时患上严重感冒;在学校栏杆上撞坏我的舌头;在恶劣天气里乘坐Leonhard的雪橇的冒险旅行….

解答 DDAB
25.D 考查判断推理.根据文中Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off,so she didn't care much about my bedtime及Mom and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me等话语可以推断出,作者的父母当时忙于他们自己的事情,无暇照顾我.故答案为D.
26.D 考查细节理解.根据文章第三段话的叙述,I had tried to light a barrel(桶)of paint but couldn't really get a good fire going.The smoke got pretty bad,though,and when I made my exit,a crowd and the police were there to greet me,可知,我点燃了一桶油漆,但火并没燃得很大烟却很浓,警察来把我带走.所以答案选D.
27.A 考查判断推理.根据倒数第二段话At the time I didn't realize what a superstar he was,but I do remember the ride well可以推断Leonhard很擅长驾雪橇.故答案为A.
28.B 考查判断推理.作者在文中回忆了在他童年时,由于父母的忙碌,在他身上所发生的一些奇遇.故答案为B.

16.Well,I finally decided to enter the digital age.My kids have been annoying me; my book group made fun of me; and the last straw was when my car broke down,and I was stuck on the highway for an hour before someone stopped to help.But when I went to the cell phone store,I almost changed my mind.The phones are so small that I can't see the numbers.They all have cameras,computers and a Global Positioning System that's supposed to spot me from space.All I want to do is to be able to talk to my grandkids!And the rate plans(资费套餐)!They were complex,confusing,and expensive!I'd almost given up when a friend told me about her new Jitterbug phone.Sometimes I think the people who designed this phone and the rate plans had me in mind.The phone fits easily in my pocket,but when it opens it reaches from my mouth to my ear.The display is large,so I can actually see who is calling.With a push of a button I can control the volume(音量),and if I don't know a number,I can simply push one for a friendly,helpful operator that will look it up and even dial for me.The Jitterbug also reduces background noise,making the sound loud and clear.There's even a dial tone,so I know the phone is ready to use.
Service Trips for High School Students
Are you a high school student who loves to be outdoors and is eager to experience new challenges,learn new skills and meet new people?WTA offers first-time participants country trips and returning students have the option to go on trips in the back country (边远地区).
Front Country Trips
Call now and get a FREE GIFT--24in value!Try the Jitterbug for 30days and if you don't love it,just return it.The phone comes preprogrammed with your favorite numbers,and if you aren't as happy with it as I am,you can return it for a refund(退款)of the purchase price.
51.Why did the author's book group make fun of him?C
A.His car always broke down.
B.He was famous for his meanness.
C.He didn't keep up with the times.
D.His grandkids lost touch with him.

A.because of its free gift               
B.because of its convenience
C.because of his friend sent it as a gift    
D.because its numbers were his favorite
53.What's the main purpose of this passage?A
A.To advertise the Jitterbug phone.
B.To introduce how to enter the digital age.
C.To describe the author's personal experience.
D.To show users how to use the Global Positioning System.

8.Here is an astonishing and significant fact:Mental work alone can't make us tired.It sounds absurd.But a few years ago,scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue (疲劳).To the amazement of these scientists,they discovered that blood passing through the brain,when it is active,shows no fatigue at all!If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer,we would find it full of fatigue toxins(毒素) and fatigue products.But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein,it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.
So far as the brain is concerned,it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning.The brain is totally tireless.So what makes us tired?
Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional(情绪的) attitudes.One of England's most outstanding scientists,J.A.Hadfield,says,"The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin.In fact,fatigue of purely physical origin is rare."Dr.Brill,a famous American scientist,goes even further.He declares,"One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems."
What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired?Joy?Satisfaction?No!A feeling of being bored,anger,anxiety,tenseness,worry,a feeling of not being appreciated---those are the emotions that tire sitting workers.Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue.We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.
32.What surprised the scientists a few years ago?C
A.Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer's blood.
B.Albert Einstein didn't feel worn out after a day's work.
C.The brain could work for many hours without fatigue.
D.A mental worker's blood was filled with fatigue toxins.
33.According to the author,which of the following can make sitting workers tired?B
A.Challenging mental work.
B.Unpleasant emotions.
C.Endless tasks.
D.Physical labor.
34.What's the author's attitude towards the scientists'idea?A
A.He agrees with them.
B.He doubts them.
C.He argues against them.
D.He hesitates to accept them.
35.We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic,sitting workers need toB.
A.have some good food.
B.enjoy their work
C.exercise regularly              
D.discover fatigue toxins.

6.Thanks to this new hands free suitcase,carrying around heavy luggage may soon become a thing of the past.Designed by Israeli company NUA Robotics,this"smart"suitcase can follow you everywhere you go.
The carry-on suitcase,currently a prototype(雏形),connects to a smartphone app via  bluetooth.It has a built-in camera sensor that can"see"you and follow you around on flat surfaces like airport floors.It comes with an anti-theft alarm to prevent someone carrying it away when you're not looking,and it has a backup battery(备用电池) that you can use to charge(充电) all your devices.
"It can follow and carry things for people around while communicating with their smartphone,and avoiding obstacles,"explained Alex Libman,founder of NUA Robotics."We're combining sensor network,computer vision,and robotics.So if you download our app,press the‘follow me'button,the luggage recognizes its user and knows to follow and communicate."
NUA is still testing the device and trying improve features like speed and customization(客户定制),but they hope to make the suitcase available to customers in a year's time.If it proves successful,they want to use the Bluetooth pairing technology to automate(使自动化) lots of other devices,like shopping carts at the supermarket.These devices are especially meant to be useful to the physically disabled and elderly."Any object can be smart and robotic,"Libman told Mashable."We want to bring robots into everyday life."
The Israeli tech company made it clear that the finished product will look just like a regular suitcase.They're planning to partner with a carry-on luggage maker,since the device that makes it"smart"weighs just 2.5pounds and can be fixed on old-fashion luggage.
With NUA'S smart suitcase,carrying around heavy luggage isn't a burden.But how their invention will handle tough obstacles like stairs?It will be interesting to wait.
25.According to the passage the"smart"suitcaseC.
A.can go everywhere it would like to go
B.is on sale now in the market
C.can make our hands free during traveling 
D.was designed by Alex Libman
26.If you want to use this free hand suitcase,you mustA.
A.download the app    
B.avoid obstacles
C.look at it all the time 
D.carry a camera
27.What can we learn about NUA?C
A.It was a company which was founded by Mashable.
B.It has improved the features of the device up to now.
C.It wants to bring more smart and robotic devices into daily life.
D.It will make the suitcase available to customers in a month.
