Born in Omaha‎, ‎Nebraska, for more than 40 years Buffett has lived in the same gray house on Farnam Street that he bought for $31,500. He wears shabby suits, drives his own car, drinks Cherry Coke, and is more likely to be found in a Dairy Queen than a . four-star restaurant. ‎ Looking back on his childhood, one can seethe knowledgeable businessman. Even as a young child, Buffett was pretty serious about making money. He used to go door-to-door and sell soda pop. He and a friend used math to develop a system for picking winners in horseracing. Later, he also worked at his grandfather’s grocery store. At the age of 11, Buffett bought his first stock(股票). When he was 14, Buffett spent $1, 200 on 40 acres of farmland in Nebraska and soon began collecting rent from a local farmer, Buffett wasn’t keen on going to college but ended up at Wharton at the University of Pennsylvania—his father encouraged him to go. ‎ Buffett’s investment strategy mirrors his lifestyle and overall philosophy. He doesn’t collect houses or cars or works of art, and he looks down on companies that waste money on so useless things, such as private dining rooms, and high-priced racing cars. He is a creature of habit—same house, same office, same city, same soda—and dislikes change. In his investments, that means holding on to “core holdings” such as American Express, Coca-Cola, and The Washington Post Co.‎ forever. ‎ ‎21.

He lives with his parents, his older sister Via, and his dog Daisy. He has been homeschooled up until the fifth grade, but his parents have decided that it is time for him to go to a real school. They enroll him in Beecher Prep, a neighborhood private school, and take him to meet the principal, Mr. Tushman. While August is there , some of the kids who will be in August’s grade take him on a tour of the school; one of them, Jack Will, is nice, but another, Julian, is noticeably rude. Jack is nice to him, and August believes he has found a friend. ‎ August settles into the first few months of school and his classmates slowly get used :to the way his face looks. He is friendly to others and performs well in class. He becomes friends with Jack, and with a girl named Summer who sits with him at lunch on the first day. However , things get worse on Halloween, typically August’s favorite day of the year, when August overhears Jack say to Julian and some other boys that he would kill himself if he looked like August. He also says he is only nice to August because Mr. Tushman asked him to be. Jack is completely unaware that August himself is sitting nearby, dressed in a Bleeding Scream costume.

Technology can be the knowledge of techniques, processes, and the like. ‎ The simplest form of technology is the development and use of basic tools. The prehistoric discovery of how to control fire and the later Neolithic Revolution increased the available sources of food, and the invention of the wheel helped humans to travel in and control their environment. Developments in historic times, including the printing press, the telephone, and the Internet, have lessened physical barriers to communication and allowed humans to interact freely on a global scale. ‎ Dictionaries and scholars have offered a variety of definitions. The Merriam-Webster Learner’s Dictionary offers a definition of the term: “the use of science in industry, engineering, etc., to invent useful things or to solve problems “and” a machine, piece of equipment, method, etc. , that is created by technology. ”Ursula Franklin, in her 1989 “Real World of Technology” lecture, gave another definition of the concept; it is “practice, the way we do ‎ things around here. ”The term is often used to imply a specific field of technology, or to refer to high technology or just consumer electronics, rather than technology as a whole. ‎ Technology can be most broadly defined as the things, both material and immaterial, created by the application of mental and physical effort in order to achieve some value. In this usage, technology refers to tools and machines that may be used to solve real-world problems. It is a far-reaching term that may include simple tools, such as a crowbar or wooden spoon, or more complex machines, such as a space station or particle accelerator. ‎ The word “technology” can also be used to refer to a collection of techniques. In this context, it is the current state of humanity’s knowledge of how to combine resources to produce desired products, to solve problems, ful6l1needs, or satisfy wants; it includes technical methods, skills, processes, techniques, tools and raw materials. When combined with another term, such as “medical technology” or “space technology,” it refers to the state of the respective field’s knowledge and tools. ‎ ‎28. What’s the easiest form of technology?‎ A. The techniques used in the production of goods. ‎ B. The use of science in industry and engineering. ‎ C. The development and use of basic tools. ‎ D. The knowledge of how to combine resources. ‎ ‎29. What’s the definition of Ursula Franklin about technology?‎ A. It is inventing useful things or solve problems. ‎ B. It is practice, the way we do things around here. ‎ C. It is a machine, created by technology.‎ D. It is tools and machines, used to solve real-world problems. ‎ ‎30. What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 4 refer to?‎ A. Simple tools such as a crowbar or wooden spoon. ‎ B. More complex machines such as a space station. ‎ C. The application of mental and physical effort. ‎ D. The technology used to solve real-world problems. ‎ ‎31. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?‎ A. The usages of technology.‎ B. The definitions of technology. ‎ C. The applications of technology. ‎ D. The contents of technology. ‎ D One of my all time favorite holiday destinations is the Gold Coast. With its beautiful beaches, mountain hinterland and theme parks, the variety from one location to another is fantastic! And it’s also important that it’s like a playground for my children. ‎ The Gold Coast certainly offers something for every member of our family. We all love heading down to the beach for an early morning swim or surf. The beaches feature some of the softest golden sand and pumping waves, making them ideal for surfing. Safety is important, especially when I’m out with the kids, and I feel better knowing that lifeguards are continually on patrol(巡逻). The long coast also offer the perfect setting for a leisurely walk at sunset—a favorite activity of mine. ‎ Then, of course, there’s the bargain- hunting in the city’s center. For shopping-goers, there are amazing shopping centers, boutiques and the usual chain stores. I always pick up loads of goodies at Pacific Fair. ‎ ‎“The Gold Coast is popular for its theme parks—Sea World, Warner Bros Movie World and Dream World. The seal and dolphin presentations at Sea World keep both children and adults on the edge of their seats as the sea creatures go through a series of complicated jumps, flips and rolls. It’s great entertainment and an educational window to the underwater world for the kids. Our kids also enjoy meeting the characters at Movie World and watching how real movies are made. ‎ Night-time is equally fun , as we usually set off to find the best local restaurants and cafes. The mix of cultures and influences has given the Gold Coast a wide variety of choices, including modem Australian, Italian, Asian and seafood, although sometimes nothing beats fish and chips!‎ A visit to the Gold Coast in the Sunshine‎ ‎State is worthwhile and fun. ‎ ‎32. Why docs the author consider the Gold Coast as her ideal holiday destination?‎ A. There are a lot of shopping centers. ‎ B. The whole family can have fun there. ‎ C. It’s a safe and interesting place for kids. ‎ D. The author can walk leisurely along the coast. ‎ ‎33. What does the underlined word “boutiques” probably mean?‎ A. Theme parks. ‎ B.

Different entertainments. ‎ C. The shopping centers. ‎ D. Various choices. ‎ 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。‎ ‎ Cloning in biotechnology refers to processes used to create copies of DNA pieces, cells or organisms. The term clone comes from the ancient Greek word “twig”. 36 ‎ Thirteen American stales ban reproductive cloning and three states prohibit use of public funds for such activities. A scientist said if the U. S. Government bans human cloning, his organization would intend to find a country where it is legal and then create cloned babies for couples who aren’t able to bear a baby. “37 ” Zavos, a Kentucky reproduction researcher, said at a meeting of the Association of Reproductive Health Professionals. 38 Zavos would not say where his organization is doing its research. He said that so far the experiments have involved only animals, but the group is moving steadily toward an eventual attempt to clone humans. The remarks from Zavos came during a debate with Dr. Paul R. Billings. ‎ ‎39 .If we want to know what would happen with humans, we need to do it in humans. Zavos said his organization would not attempt to clone humans until they are confident they can do it safely. 40 ‎ A. Animals are animals. ‎ B. People want to have a biological child of their own. ‎ C. It refers to the process where a new plant can be created from a twig.‎ D.
