It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.‎ In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, "Mrs.Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it."‎ She glanced down at me through her glasses, "You are no different from your classmates, young man."‎ I tried, but I didn't finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.‎ In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was ‎ about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn't get much education. But Louis didn't give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots (点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.‎ Wasn't I the "blind" in my class, being made to learn like the "sighted" students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?‎ I didn't expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day--with an "A" on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: "See what you can do when you keep trying?"‎ ‎24. The author didn't finish the reading in class because .‎ A. he was new to the class B. he was tired of literature C. he had an attention disorder D. he wanted to take the task home ‎25. What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage?‎ A. He had good sight. B. He made a great invention.‎ C. He gave up reading. D. He learned a lot from school.‎ ‎26. What was Mrs. Smith's attitude to the author at the end of the story?‎ A. Angry. B. Impatient. C. Sympathetic. D. Encouraging.‎ ‎27. What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A. The disabled should be treated with respect.‎ B. A teacher can open up a new world to students.‎ C. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.‎ D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.‎ C As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.‎ In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and ‎ her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.‎ In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the computer. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive memory (交互记忆)"‎ According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.‎ ‎28. The passage begins with two questions to .‎ A. introduce the main topic B. show the author's attitude C. describe how to use the Internet D. explain how to store information ‎29. What can we learn about the first experiment?‎ A. The Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer.‎ B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.‎ C. The first group did not try to remember the information.‎ D. The second group did not understand the information.‎ ‎30. In transactive memory, people .‎ A. keep the information in mind B. change the quantity of information C. organize information like a computer D. remember how to find the information ‎31. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research?‎ A. We are using memory differently. ‎ B. We are becoming more intelligent.‎ C. We have poorer memories than before. ‎ D. We need a better way to access information.‎ D Once there was a young farmer who had an appointment with his lover to meet under a big tree. He was short-tempered and came very early. It was a fine spring day with flowers in full bloom (盛开) , but he wasn't in the mood to enjoy it.‎ Suddenly an angel turned up before him. "You get impatient, don't you?" said the angel. "If you don't want to wait, just turn the button to the right. You can jump over any life period if you want to."‎ The young fellow was so happy that he turned the button lightly. How amazing! His lover appeared before him immediately, staring at him with love. How wonderful it would be if the wedding ceremony were held now! He, again, turned the button. A grand wedding appeared in front of him; the band was playing cheerful music; he lost himself in it deeply. Unknowingly, the desires in his heart appeared endlessly: I also want a big house. He turned the button. I also want a crowd of lovely children. Instantly a group of lovely kids were playing joyfully in the large living room. Again, he jumped at turning the button to the fight more than half.‎ How time flies! Before he saw the blooming flowers in the garden, everything had been covered in a deep snow. Looking at himself again, he had already become so old, his hair and beard totally white.‎ He was filled with regrets: I'd rather spend my life step by step than go in such a hurry. Better let me wait patiently! The button moved to the left with a rush. Once again, he was waiting for his lover under that big tree. His restlessness disappeared completely.‎ ‎32. The angel gave the farmer a magic button in order to .‎ A. make an appointment with him B. shorten his future time C. help him enjoy beautiful flowers D. change his temper ‎33. Which of the following things didn't the farmer enjoy alter using the button?‎ A. A satisfying wedding. B. A happy family.‎ C. Splendid music. D. Blooming flowers.‎ ‎34. What does the underlined word "restlessness" in the last paragraph mean?‎ A. Eagerness. B. Hopelessness. C. Impatience. D. Amazement.‎ ‎35. What can we learn from the story?‎ A. Life can't skip forward. B. Lovers had better wait.‎ C. People should live a realistic life. D. Regrets may exist if life is not fun.‎ 第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.‎ But just as in face to face communication，there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when online. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated. 36 . For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. 37 .‎ If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. 38 . If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.‎ ‎ 39 . Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good mariners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely. At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.‎ It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and ma rital status. 40 , don’t ask such questions.‎ A. It’s natural that there some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online B. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to ‎ the person’s face C. Everyone was new to the network once D. Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes E. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something ‎ beautiful to hear F. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their ‎ messages G. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing ‎ personal information 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ It was anniversary and Ria(wife) was waiting for her husband(Manoj) to show up.
