All the 36 I take for granted had gone. I had entered into a world of silence.This 37 experience occurred a few weeks ago when I agreed to “go deaf for the day to 38 the work of the charity Hearing Dogs for Deaf People. Now I serve as an ambassador.That day when I 39 a cab to take me to the office of my manager, Gavin, I couldnt hear what the taxi driver was saying to me. 40 was impossible. Then, when I reached the office, I had to 41 the interphone (对讲机) five times as I couldnt hear a(n) 42 .Everybody said I was shouting at them I simply wasnt 43 of the volume of my own voice. Gavin kept telling me my phone was ringing, but I didnt 44 . I was too busy trying to concentrate on 45 his lips. And when he tried to tell me a code to put into my phone, I had to keep asking him to repeat it more slowly again and again. 46 he lost his patience and shouted at me: “Just give me the phone!” I was shocked.People couldnt be 47 to repeat themselves, so they kept trying to do things for me that I was 48 to finish by myself. I lost control, feeling 49 and awkward.Being deaf for the day was extraordinarily 50 . I had to work so hard to “ 51 ” with my eyes, get peoples attention and use my other 52 to make up for my lack of hearing. It was a huge, exhausting effort. Until that 53 I didnt realize how much I took my own hearing for granted, or the sorts of emotions and experiences deaf people go 54 .Therefore, if a deaf person asks you to repeat something, 55 say: “It doesnt matter.” It does matter.36.

There are exceptions, such as the tidal (潮汐的) waves sometimes produced by earthquakes under the sea. But the waves most of us know are produced by winds blowing over the sea.Now before constructing an imaginary life history of a typical wave, we need to know certain physical things about it. A wave has height, from trough (low point) to crest (high Point). It has length-the distance from this crest to that of the following wave. The period of the wave means the time it takes for succeeding crests to pass a fixed point. None of these things stays the same-for all depend upon the wind, upon the depth of the water and many other matters.The water that makes up a wave does not advance with it across the sea. Each drop of water turns around in a little circle with the passing of the wave, but returns very nearly to its original position. And it is fortunate that this is so. For if the huge masses of water that make up a wave actually moved across the sea, sailing would be impossible.If we want to find the speed of a wave, we may use the following way:Speed = wavelength frequencyHere, wavelength is the distance between two high points (crests), frequency means the number of cycles per second 56. What causes waves?A. Earthquakes and nothing else. B. Only wind.C. Wind causes most waves. D. Wind causes some waves.57. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The water of a wave moves away across the sea.B. The water of a wave remains almost at the same place.C. The water of a wave goes with the passing of the wave.D. The length of a wave means the distance from the top of a wave to the bottom.58. The speed of Wave 1 is 100 cm/s, frequency 10. The frequency of Wave 2 is 300, while its speed is twice that of Wave 1. Which of the following is right?A. The wavelengths of the two are equal.B. The wavelength of Wave 1 is 10 times longer than that of Wave 2.C. The wavelength of Wave 2 is longer than that of Wave 1. D. The wavelength of Wave 1 is longer than that of Wave 2.BThere has been a dramatic increase in the number of natural disasters over the past few years, and it is assumed that global warming and climate change could cause even more disasters in the future. Some of the worlds leading cities are facing disasters like floods and heat waves. London Londons flood defences are getting older. Since 1982, the Thames Barrier(水闸)has protected the city from the threat of flooding, but it was only designed to last until 2030 and close once every two or three years. About 26 years later the barrier now closes five or six times a year and according to Environment Agency predictions, by 2050 the barrier will be closed on almost every tide if the problem is not addressed. There are 26 underground stations, 400 schools, 16 hospitals, an airport and 80 billion worth of property(财产) in Londons flood risk area, so large scale flooding would be disastrous. Paris Over a six week period in July and August 2003, more than 11,400mainly elderly peopledied in France from dehydration(脱水)and extremely high body temperature in a deadly heat wave. Heat waves of similar intensity(强度)are expected every seven years by 2050, so what can be done to make sure such a disaster does not happen again? One solution is to have air-conditioners installed(安装) in elderly care homes. But this is considered a short-term solution, as the increase in demand for electricity also increases carbon emissions(排放). In Paris the local authorities are encouraging architects to design new types of buildings such as the building “Flower Tower,” which uses a covering of bamboo to act as a natural air-conditioner.Shanghai Shanghai is the fastest growing city on Earth. It has a population of 18 million and is only 4 meters above sea level. Sea levels are predicted to rise by 20 cm within the next century. An estimated 250,000 people move to Shanghai every year in search of work, placing extra demands on energy consumption. China relies heavily on coalfired power stations, but these emissions increase temperatures and, in turn, warmer seas increase the risk of typhoons.59. What problem should be settled now in London?A. How to protect the citys property.B. Where to build its flood defences. C. How to use the Thames Barrier to protect the city. D. How to improve the function of the old flood defences. 60. Which of the following measures cant solve the heat wave disaster in Paris?A. Putting up new types of buildings with a covering of bamboo. B. Having air-conditioners installed in elderly care homes. C. Forbidding the city to build “Flower Tower”. D. Encouraging architects to design new types of buildings.61. The major threats to Shanghai are . A. increasing population and coal-fired power stations B. rising sea levels and typhoons C. extremely high temperature and rising sea levels D. extra demands on energy consumption and typhoons62. The purpose of the passage is . A. to tell us how to protect the big cities B. to give advice on how to defend natural disasters C. to explain what causes flood and heat wavesD. to warn us of the increasing natural disasters in big citiesCIt had been a difficult move. Id left my family and friends in Indiana, the beloved state where Id lived most of my life. My new home in Florida was thousands of miles away from anything I knew. It was hotall the time. Jobs were hard to come by, but I was up for almost any challenge.At last, I taught in a special school where students have severe learning and behavioral difficulties.Another teacher and I had spent weeks teaching the children appropriate behavior for public outings. Unexpectedly, only a few students, including Kyle, had not earned the privilege(特权) of going. He was determined to make his disappointment known.In the corridor(走廊) between classrooms, he began screaming, cursing, spitting, and swinging at anything within striking distance. Once his outburst(愤怒) died down, he did what hed done when he was angry at all his other schools, at home, even once at a juvenile detention(拘留)center. He ran.People watched in disbelief as Kyle dashed straight into the heavy morning traffic in front of the school.I heard someone shout, “Call the police!”But I ran after him.Kyle was at least a foot taller than me. And he was fast. His older brothers were track stars at the nearby high school. But I could run long distances without tiring. I would at least be able to keep him in my sight and know he was alive.After several blocks of running directly into oncoming traffic, Kyle slowed his pace. He took a sharp left. Standing next to a trash bin, Kyle bent over with his hands on his knees. I must have looked ridiculous. But his was not a look of fear. I saw his body relax. He did not attempt to run again. Kyle stood still and watched me approach. I had no idea what I was going to say or do, but I kept walking closer.He opened his mouth to speak when a police car pulled up, abruptly filling the space between Kyle and me. The school principal and an officer got out. They spoke calmly to Kyle, who willingly climbed into the back of the vehicle. I couldnt hear what was said, but I didnt take my eyes off Kyles face, even as they drove away.I couldnt help but feel that I had failed him, that I should have done or said more, that I should have fixed the situation.I shared my feelings with a speech therapist who was familiar with Kyles history. “No one ever ran after him before, Rachel,” she said. “No one. They just let him go.”Things changed the day he ran and I ran after him, even though I didnt have the right words, even though I wasnt able to save him from the mess he was in. It was the day I didnt throw my hands in the air and decide he was too fast, a waste of time and effort , a lost cause. It was the day my mere presence was enough to make a profound difference.63. From the passage we know that _. A. the author left her family to Florida because jobs were hard to come by in Indiana B. students were allowed to go out after they passed some specific tests C. the author worked in a school where students were excellent D. no teacher had ever run after Kyle before except the author 64. Which of the following description about Kyle is not true? A. He had some behavioral difficulties and once moved from one detention to another. B. He used to run out to let out his anger when he was in school, home or juvenile detention. C. Different from his brothers, he learned in a special school while not a normal high school. D. He was moved by his teacher who treated him with more patience and understanding.65. Which is the correct order of the trace? He burst out when he knew he couldnt go out.I decided to run after him. Kyle stopped beside a trash bin. A police car came and Kyle left with it. He rushed into the heavy morning traffic.Kyle slowed his pace. I walked toward Kyle. A. B. C. D. 66. What is the best title of the passage?A. Kyle, a Boy with Learning and Behavior Difficulties.B. The Teacher Who Ran.C. A School with Special Students.D. A Terrible Conflict.(冲突)DThe worldwide increase in the use of cellphones has caused concerns regarding possible harmful effects caused by cellphone radiation. People are particularly concerned that the radiation will put cellphone users at a higher risk of suffering from cancer. However, studies of the association between cellphone use and the risk of brain cancer have reached different conclusions(some, but not all, studies showed increased risk). Researchers conducted a study to examine if cellphone radiation affected regional activity in the human brain. The study, conducted between January 1 and December 31, 2009,included 47 participants. Cellphones were placed on the left and right ears, and brain imaging was performed to measure brain glucose metabolism(葡萄糖代谢) twice: one with the right cellphone activated for 50 minutes(“on” condition) and once with both cellphones deactivated(“off” condition). An analysis was conducted to check the association of metabolism and cellphone radiation. The scans were compared to assess the effect of cellphone use on brain glucose metabolism.The researchers found that whole-brain metabolism did not differ between the on and off conditions. However there were regional effects. Metabolism in some brain region was higher (about 7 percent) for cellphone on than for cellphone off conditions. This indicates that the regions expected to absorb more cellphone radiation were the ones that showed the larger increases in glucose metabolism.These results provide evidence that the human brain is sensitive to the effects of acute(剧烈的) cellphone radiation. However, how cellphone radiation could affect brain glucose metabolism is unclear.Concerns have been raised by the possibility that cellphone radiation may induce brain cancer. Results of this study provide evidence that acute cellphone radiation affects brain metabolic activity. However, these results provide no information as to their connection regarding possible carcinogenic(致癌的) effects (or lack of such effects) of chronic(长期的) cellphone use. Further studies are needed to assess if these effects could have long-term harm.67. What does the passage main- 配套讲稿:
