20、 and started to walk 44 . At first he felt angry and disappointed thinking about how hungry he had become from his 45 , and how he really wanted that apple. The more he 46 like this, the more unhappy he became. 47 , the boy of our story was a pretty smart guy, even if he couldnt always get what he w

25、less famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper(雨刮器)? Shouldnt we know who they are?Joan McLean thinks so. In fact, McLean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so strongly about this matter that shes developed a course on

26、 the topic. In addition to learning “who” invented “what”, however, McLean also likes her students to learn the answers to the “why” and “how” questions. According to McLean, “When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and mo

27、re motivated to give inventing a try.”Her students agree. One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLeans statement. “If I had not heard the story of the windshield wipers invention, ”said Tommy Lee, a senior physics major, “I never would have dreamed of turning m

28、y bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive.” Lee is currently negotiating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was cold and

29、stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldnt be a builtin device for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when s

30、he returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started drafting out solutions. One of her ideas, a lever(操作杆) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiper.Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations. Its hard to imagine driv

31、ing without Garrett A. Morgans traffic light. Its equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J. Blodgetts innovation that makes glass invisible. Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?51. By mentioning “traffic light” and “windshield wiper”, the author indicates that

32、countless inventions are _.A. beneficial, because their inventors are famousB. beneficial, though their inventors are less famousC. not useful, because their inventors are less famousD. not useful, though their inventors are famous52. Professor Joan McLeans course aims to _.A. add colour and variety

33、 to students campus lifeB. inform students of the windshield wipers inventionC. carry out the requirements by Mountain UniversityD. prepare students to try their own inventions53. Tommy Lees invention of the unbreakable umbrella was _.A. not eventually accepted by the umbrella producerB. inspired by

34、 the story behind the windshield wiperC. due to his dream of being caught in a rainstormD. not related to Professor Joan McLeans lectures54. Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?A. How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers?B. How to Design a Builtin Dev

35、ice for Cleaning the Window?C. Shouldnt We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper?D. Shouldnt We Develop Invention Courses in Universities?BHomestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.What

36、to ExpectThe host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.Accommodation ZonesHomestays are

37、located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential(居住的). Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underg

38、round.Meal Plans AvailableContinental BreakfastBreakfast and DinnerBreakfast, Packed Lunch and DinnerIts important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal(谷物类食品),

39、bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit and coffee.FriendsIf you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your hosts permissio

40、n. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.SelfCatering Accommodation in Private HomesAccommodation on a roomonly basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation of

41、fers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the longstay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practise English at home quite as much.55.

44、mily atmosphere.B. To enrich their knowledge of English.C. To entertain friends as they like.D. To enjoy much more freedom.CIn the fall of 1985, I was a brighteyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twentyone ye

45、ars later I am still a brighteyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw f

46、rom college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantasticand very emotional. A year la

47、ter came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8! Our home was a complete zooa joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college fulltime. But I never gave up

48、 on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester.The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should

49、 set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when youre looking at a big challenge from the outside it lo

50、oks huge, but when youre in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want wont arrive in your life on one day. Its a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.59. When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be _.A. a writerB. a teacherC. a judgeD. a doctor60.

She wanted to remain a fulltime housewife.D. She was too confused to make a correct choice.61. What does the author mostly want to tell us in th

52、e last paragraph?A. Failure is the mother of success.B. Little by little, one goes far.C. Every coin has two sides.D. Well begun, half done.62. Which of the following can best describe the author?A. Caring and determined.B. Honest and responsible.C. Ambitious and sensitive.D. Innocent and single-min

53、ded.DAn idea that started in Seattles public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit(追求) to be enjoyed by all, the

54、program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched(发起) the “If All of Seattle Read the Same Book” project in 1998. Her original pr

55、ogram used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.In Chicago, the mayor(市长) appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first b

56、ook in the “One Book, One Chicago” program. As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.The only problem arose in Ne

57、w York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in mediumsized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致) can be achieved. Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all

58、 their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than into discussion about a book itself.Ultimately, as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with who

59、m they would not otherwise have shared a word.63. What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?A. To invite authors to guide readers.B. To encourage people to read and share.C. To involve people in community service.D. To promote the friendship between cities.64. Why was it difficult for New

60、 Yorkers to carry out the project?A. They had little interest in reading.B. They were too busy to read a book.C. They came from many different backgrounds.D. They lacked support from the local government.65. The underlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 probably mean _.A. exchanged ideas with

61、each otherB. discussed the meaning of a wordC. gained life experienceD. used the same language66. According to Nancy, the degree of success of the project is judged by _.A. the careful selection of a proper bookB. the growing popularity of the writersC. the number of people who benefit from readingD

62、. the number of books that each person readsEBlind imitation(模仿) is selfdestruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive；to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable.In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful.

63、 When I first learned to cook, I used recipes(菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone elses way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a childs bicycle；they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously(下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you
