    I remember my' mother as a strong woman. She came to America when she was 12-old enough to remember her language, she achieved scores and grades high enough to be admitted to Duke University. With a degree in computer science, she finally became the manager of a company in New York. My mother could give fluent speeches, say "wolves" correctly.

    It was my mother who always stressed the importance of language. From the time l was born,1 was read to. 1 would fall asleep to the sounds of my parents' voices, whether it was my dad's softly accented, or my mother's clear English. The flow of language was unbroken, and whether in Chinese or English , the stream of communication flowed through our house.

    One October morning in sixth grade, after my mother had left to catch the train to the city ,I left the house for the bus stop. 1 was surprised when I saw our car, the door hanging open. As I drew closer ,I saw my mother lying on the ground.

    In the hospital, it was hard to believe that the lady who lay before me was my mom. My mother could not remember my name. As the leaves changed colors, it became clear that the stroke had created a wall between my mother's mind and mouth: her mind was not any less clear, but the words she spoke were not what she meant.

    The battle my mother faced taught me the importance of language. Without it, identity does not exist; relationships cannot be formed; stories cannot be told; directions cannot be given, and knowing any-thing about anyone is impossible. Without language, communication cannot take place. Without language, one cannot express the beauty of a sunset or the kindness of a stranger. The world would pass us by in silence.

    1.From the second paragraph, we can know____.

    A. the author was taught to read since she was born

    B. the author's father spoke English poorly

    C. the author couldn't fall asleep without being read to

    D. the author's parents taught her language by talking a lot

    2.According to the last two paragraphs, the author's mom was unable to

    A. think clearly

    B. express herself well

    C. speak

    D. open her mouth

    3.This passage is mainly about ______.

    A. a strong mother

    B. the importance of language

    C. a family disaster

    D. the significance of teaching language

    It was reported last week that developers could take photos from Apple mobile and Google Android devices without the phone owners knowing that the images were being taken. In Apple’s case, developers can also obtain the location information for each photo.

    Senator(参议员) Charles Schumer said in a telephone interview that his office had spoken with officials at both Apple and Google on Monday.

    “We asked them if they could find a way on their own to prevent Apple from having access to private information,” Mr. Schumer said. “They were friendly and open to the idea that this ought to be changed.”

    On Sunday, Mr. Schumer said that he planned to send a letter to the Federal Trade Commission asking the agency to investigate Apple and Google after the privacy concerns came to light. Claudia Bourne Farrell, an F.T.C. spokeswoman, said the agency had received the letter but she could not comment further.

    “It worries people to think that one’s personal photos, address book, and who knows what else can be obtained and even posted online without permission,” Mr. Schumer wrote in his letter to the F. T.C. “If the technology exists to open the door to this kind of privacy invasion, then surely technology exists to close it, and that’s exactly what must happen.”

    Mr. Schumer said if Apple and Google could not come to an agreement to fix the problem, then he would be forced to take the issue further.

    He said other companies had been willing to work with his office to fix issues. “I’m optimistic that we can get this changed without any regulation,” he said. “If it’s not changed, then we’ll turn to the F.T.C., and if that doesn’t work then we’ll consider legislative approach.”

    The F.T.C. has warned companies to try to be more vigilant(警醒的) in their efforts to protect consumers when it comes to privacy.

    1.The senators spoke with officials at both Apple and Google_______.

    A. to urge them not to invade consumers’ privacy.

    B. to discuss whether it is illegal to have access to private information.

    C. to stop them from developing the technology of taking photos.

    D. to keep them from obtaining the location information for each photo.

    2.Which of the following statements is True?

    A. Privacy invasion from Apple has existed for a long time.

    B. Mr. Schumer takes the privacy concerns caused by Apple and Google seriously.

    C. Privacy invasion from Google has existed for a long time.

    D. Apple and Google have decided to make a change.

    3.Mr. Schumer’s letter to the F.T.C. mainly shows that the technology to open the door to privacy invasion_______.

    A. causes privacy invasion to happen frequently.

    B. can be used if permitted.

    C. causes people to worry about the safety of their personal information.

    D. causes personal information to be posted online without permission.

    4.Where can we read about the passage?

    A. In a newspaper.

    B. In a magazine.

    C. In a science report.

    D. In a textbook.

    Nowadays many people are concerned about the problem of what to do with electronic waste such as old televisions, computers, radios, cellular telephones and other electronic equipment.

    Electronic trash, or e-waste, is piling up faster than ever in American homes and businesses. People do not know what to do with old televisions or computers so they throw them in the trash.

    National Solid Waste Management Association (NSWMA) state programs director Chaz Miller says the large amount of electronic waste Americans product is not unexpected.

    The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates more than 400 million consumer electronic items are dumped each year, and there is a push by more states to ban the waste from landfills (垃圾填埋场) and create recycling programs. They can be torn apart and sorted for useable parts. Mike Fannon who runs the plant in Baltimore says, “There are lots of valuable metals that can be recovered and reused instead of just putting them in the landfill, and in certain components there are some materials that should not really be in the landfill.”

    Fannon says nearly 20 percent of electronic waste is recycled nationwide. Thirteen years ago, it was only about 6 percent. Recycling rates continue to rise as more communities have banned electronics from landfills in order to keep e-waste poisons like lead (铅) and mercury (汞) out of garbage dumps.

    This year several states like Vermont imposed a ban on electronic waste in landfills. More than 25 other states have also adopted bans on e-waste in landfills. Chaz Miller says more can be done to boost electronic waste recycling.

    “We can do much better,” noted Miller. “I think clearly our goal should be to do as well as we do recycling newspapers.”

    1.Which of the following does NOT belong to e-waste?

    A. Old televisions. B. Old computers.

    C. Old cell phones. D. Old newspapers.

    2.Why is e-waste banned from landfills in many states?

    A. Because it can not be recycled.

    B. Because the landfills are already full.

    C. Because it might damage the environment.

    D. Because it can be shipped to other countries.

    3.According to Mike Fannon, what might be the best way of dealing with e-waste?

    A. Recycling it. B. Selling it.

    C. Burying it. D. Breaking it.

    4.What can we learn from the passage?

    A. Chaz Miller works for EPA.

    B. Miller is optimistic about the future of e-waste.

    C. At present, less than 10 percent of e-waste is recycled.

    D. All states in the US have banned e-waste from landfills.

    Have you ever been in a situation where you have done something just to make someone else happy?

    You think that you are making yourself happy. 1. I have done that many times because I wanted to impress people or I thought that if I made someone else happy it would certainly make me happy. I understand that all of us want our close friends and family to be proud of us, so we work hard in school or in our careers to meet their expectations.2. But if you are trying to realize other people’s dreams without keeping yourself satisfied, you will never be happy.

    So you have to be clear and honest with yourself about what you want in your life. If you are honest with yourself, you will be more optimistic.3.You feel like you won’t need to achieve something for someone else.

    4.They fear to be rejected(排斥) by others. They think and say “If I choose this job or career path, that person will think I am out of my mind”, or “I really want to start this business but those people will think that I won’t make any money”. 5. Don’t think this way. If you follow other people’s wishes but cannot be true to yourself, you will have a hard time feeling great about yourself.

    A. The truth is that you are really trying to make someone else happy.

    B. So why don’t I follow what they say？

    C. And you will develop a drive from your heart.

    I’m tired and covered in dust. I’ve been digging all day and I’ll be doing the same tomorrow. Sound awful, doesn’t it ? But I’ve never had so many fun in my life. As an archaeology student, I have already knew something about the Qin Tomb and the terracotta warriors. Most Chinese children can tell you Qin Shihuang was the emperor first unified China. He was a brilliant ruler, and he was also a cruel man who killed thousands of people. When he became the king of the state, he immediately ordered workers to construct an underground tomb for him, which is said to contain great treasures. But, the actual entrance to the tomb has ever been found, nor has the tomb been opened. There are ancient descriptions of crossbows hiding at the tomb’s entrance. It’s said that if everyone steps across the entrance, the crossbows will fire.

    For as long as they can remember Jynne Martin and April Surgent had both dreamed of going to Antarctica. This winter, they each made it to the icy continent as guests of the National Science Foundation (NSF).But they didn’t go as scientists. Martin is a poet and Surgent is an artist. They went to Antarctica as participants in the NSF’s Artists and Writers program. The NSF is the government agency that funds scientific research in Antarctica. But it also makes it possible for artists, including filmmakers and musicians, to experience Antarctica and contribute their own points of view to our understanding of the continent.

    The mixing of science and art in Antarctica isn’t new. Some of the earliest explorers brought along painters and photographers. Edward Wilson was a British painter, doctor, and bird expert who journeyed with Robert Falcon Scott on two separate Antarctic expeditions more than 100 years ago. Herbert Ponting was a photographer who also accompanied Scott on one of those expeditions. In hundreds of photos, Ponting captured the beauty of the continent and recorded the daily lives and heroic struggles of the explorers.

    Today’s scientists write articles for scientific journals. Unlike the early explorers’ journals, scientific papers can now be very difficult for non-scientists to understand. Writers in Antarctica work to explain the research to the public. Peter Rejcek is editor, writer, and photographer for the Antarctic Sun, an online magazine devoted to news about the U.S. Antarctic Program. Rejeck began his career in the Antarctic in 2003 by spending a year at the South Pole. He has returned every year since，interviewing， scientists about research at Palmer，McMurdo，and South Pole stations.

    There are also scientists in Antarctica who work hard to explain their research to the public. Scientist Diane McKnight wrote The Lost Seal，a children’s book that explains the research she and others are doing in an unusual ice-free area in Antarctica called the Dry Valleys.

    Antarctica is full of stories and wonders that are scientific, historic and personal. People such as Martin, Surgent, Rejcek, and Diane McKnight are devoted to bringing those stories to as many people as they can. “Some people are going to be scientists，some people are going to be journalists，some people are going to be artists，but we can all work together.” says Surgent, “to celebrate，this extraordinary place.”

    1.What do we know about the NSF?

    A. It is a government agency.

    B. It only funds scientists in Antarctica.

    C. It encourages the understanding of human nature.

    D. It enables the mixing of science and art for the first time.

    2.Why didn’t some earliest explorers bring writers along?

    A. Writers were not funded at that time.

    B. Writing can’t capture the beauty of the continent.

    C. Writers were not interested in popularizing science.

    D. Early explorers ’journals can be easily understood by the public.

    3.By mentioning Diane McKnight, the author may try to suggest that_____.

    A. scientists should explain their research to children

    B. writers are not necessary since scientists can tell stories as well

    C. telling stories to children is more important than knowing the truth

    D. no matter what role we play, we can work together to appreciate Antarctica

    4.What would be the best title for this article?

    A. Antarctica: A Land for A11

    B. The NSF: A Program for All

    C. Antarctica: A Land of Beauty and Stories

    D. The NSF: A Program for Artists and Scientists
