Edinburgh B One day I got into a taxi and we took off for the airport.‎ We were driving in the right way when suddenly a black jeep jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver had to stop the car at once, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car started shouting at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy, and I mean, he was really friendly.‎ So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost destroyed your car and sent us to the hospital!” This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, “The Law of the Garbage(垃圾) Truck.”‎ He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of anger. As their garbage gets more, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on you. Don’t take it seriously. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don’t take their garbage and pass it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets. Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with regrets(后悔), so... “Love the people who treat you right. Pray(祈祷) for the ‎ ones who don’t.”‎ Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you make it.‎ ‎28. Which is the correct order of the events that took place in the story?‎ a.

As he walked past a fallen tree, he heard a small voice shout, “Watch your feet!” ‎ Bear looked down and saw Cricket (蟋蟀). “You almost destroyed my house,” Cricket said. ‎ ‎“I’ll walk wherever I want to,” Bear shouted as he showed off his size and strength. ‎ Cricket shouted back, “But it’s my house, and I should protect it!” ‎ This made Bear so angry that he said he would destroy the house, Cricket, and all of Cricket’s family. This made Cricket angry. “I have a friend who is only half my size, but he is strong enough to beat you in a fight.” ‎ Bear laughed and said, “Go and get your friend, Cricket. I’ll return tomorrow, and we’ll see who can win in a fight.” ‎ The next morning, Bear returned to Cricket’s house. “Come out, brave Cricket,” called Bear. Suddenly he felt a terrible ache on his back. He cried, but Cricket’s friend Mosquito (蚊子) continued stinging (叮) until Bear cried, “I give up!” ‎ Just then Cricket appeared at the door of his house. Cricket told Bear to leave and never return. Bear quickly ran away. ‎ ‎(D)‎ ‎ We know the famous ones—the Thomas Edison and the Alexander Graham Bells —but what about the less famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper(雨刮器)? Shouldn’t we know who they are?‎ ‎ Joan Mclean think so. In fact, Mclean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so strongly about this matter that she’s developed a course on the topic. Besides 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 find chances for inventing and more active to give inventing a try.”‎ 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 stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard(在…上) a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldn’t be a built-in device(内置设备) for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started to think it over. 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(受益于) countless inventions. Can you imagine driving without Garrett A. Morgan’s traffic light?‎ ‎34. By talking about “traffic light” and “windshield wiper”, the writer wants to say that countless inventions are __________________.‎ A. advantageous, because their inventors are famous B. advantageous, though their inventors are less famous C. not useful, because their inventors are less famous D. not useful, though their inventors are famous ‎35. Professor Joan McLean’s course aims to __________________.‎ A. add colour and variety to students’ school life B. inform students of the windshield wiper’s invention C. carry out the requirements by Mountain University D. prepare students to try their own invention ‎36. The passage leads us to believe Tommy Lee’s invention of the unbreakable umbrella was __________________. ‎ ‎ A. not finally accepted by the umbrella producer ‎ ‎ B. inspired by(受启发) the story behind the windshield wiper ‎ ‎ C. because of his dream of being caught in a rainstorm ‎ ‎ D. not connected with Professor Joan McLean’s course ‎37. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage? ‎ ‎ A. How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers? ‎ ‎ B. How to Design a Built-in Device for Cleaning the Window? ‎ ‎ C. Shouldn’t We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper? ‎ D. Shouldn’t We Develop Invention Courses in Universities?‎ 第二卷（主观题 共40分）‎ 四、词汇运用 (本大题共8分，每小题1分)‎ (A) 根据句意和汉语注释，写出所给单词的正确形式。‎ ‎1.
