there must be a better way to do them．She hired some technical experts and started her own company in 2004．Together they designed the LongPen．Here's how it works：The author writes a personal message and signature on a computer tablet（手写板） using a special pen．On the receiving end，in another city，a robotic arm fitted with a regular pen signs the book．The author and fan can talk with each other via webcams（网络摄像机） and computer screens．‎ ‎ Work on the LongPen began in Atwood's basement（地下室）．At first，they had no idea it would be as hard as it turned out to be．The device went through several versions，including one that actually had smoke coming out of it．The investing finally completed，teat runs w ere made in Ottawa，and the LongPen was officially launched ‎ at the 2006London Book Fair．From here，Atwood conducted two transatlantic book signings of her latest book for fans in Toronto and New York City．‎ ‎ The LongPen produces a unique signature each time because it copies the movement of the author in real time．It has several other potential applications．It could increase credit card security and allow people to sign contracts from another province．The video exchange between signer and receiver can be recorded on DVD for proof when legal documents are used．‎ ‎"It's really fun"，said the owner of a bookstore，who was present for one of the test runs．"Obviously you can't shake hands with the author but there are chances for a connection that you don't get from a regular book signing．‎ ‎ The response to the invention has not been all favorable．Atwood has received criticism from authors who think she is trying to end book tours．But she said，"It will be possible to go to places that you never got sent to before because the publishers couldn't afford it．"‎ ‎41．Why did Atwood decide to invent the LongPen？．‎ A．To set up her own company B．To win herself greater popularity C．To write her books in a new way C．To make book signings less tiring ‎42．How does the LongPen work？．‎ A．I copies the author's signature and prints it on a book．‎ B．It signs a book while receiving the author's signature．‎ C．The webcam sends the author's signature to another city．‎

accident．‎ C．Some versions failed before its test run．‎ D．The designers were well﹣prepared for the difficulty．‎ ‎44．How could the LongPen be used in the future？．‎ A．To draft legal documents．‎ B．To improve credit card security C．To keep a record of the author's ideas．‎ D．To allow author and fan to exchange videos ‎45．What could be inferred from Paragraphs 5and 6？．‎ A．Atwood doesn't mean to end

trip．Why don't you fly and meet me？"‎ ‎ My father had just retired…..His job filled his day，his thought，his life．While he woke up and took a warm shower，I screamed under a freezing waterfall Peru．While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch，I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks．‎ ‎ My father sees me drfting aimlessly，nothing to show for my 33years but a passport full of funny stamps．He wants me to settle down，but now I want him to find an adventure．‎ ‎ He agrees to travel with me through the national parks．We meet four weeks later in Rapid City．‎ ‎"What is our first stop？"asks my father．‎ ‎"What time is it？"‎ ‎"Still don't have a watch？"‎ ‎ Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore．As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite，his mouth and eyes open slowly，like those of little boy．‎ ‎"Unbelievable，"he says，"How was this done？"‎ ‎ A film in the information center shows sculptor Gutzon Borglum devoted 14years ‎ to the sculpture and then left the final touches to his son．‎ ‎ We stare up and I ask myself，Would I ever devote my life to anything？‎ ‎ No directions，…I always used to hear those words in my father's voice．Now I hear them in my own．‎ ‎ The next day we're at Yellowstone National Park，where we have a picnic．‎ ‎"Did you ever travel with your dad？I ask．‎ ‎"Only once，"he says．"I never spoke much with my father．We loved each other﹣﹣﹣but never said it．Whatever he could give me，he gave．"＞‎ The kast sebtebce﹣﹣﹣﹣it's probably the same thing I's say about my father．And what I'd want my child to say about me．‎ ‎ In Glacier National Park，my father says，"I've never seen water so blue．"I have，in several places of the world，I can keep traveling，I realize﹣﹣﹣and maybe a regular job won't be as dull as I feared．‎ ‎ Weeks after our trip，I call

took my car to mail a small parcel．The journey is a matter of 281steps．But I used the car．And I wasn't in ay hurry，either，I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness：motorosis．‎ ‎ It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune （免疫的），for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs．At that time，we regarded 25miles as good day's walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as sign of strength and skill．It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship．And the effect was lasting．When I was 45years old I raced﹣and beat﹣a teenage football player the 168steps up the Stature of Liberty．‎ ‎ Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle﹣aged persons as bad for ‎ the heart．But a well﹣known British physician，Sir Adolphe Abrhams，pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper…is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly．And wlaking is an ideal form of exercise﹣﹣﹣the most familiar and natural of all．‎ ‎ It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot．The man walking can learn the trees，flower，insects，birds and animals，the significance of seasons，the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world，He cannot learn in a car．‎ ‎ The car is a convenient means of transport，but we have made it our way of life．Many people don't dare to approach Nature any more； to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat．To them security is a steel river thundering on a concrete road．And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green．‎ ‎ I say that the green of forests is the mind's best light．And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting．‎ ‎51．What is the national sickness？．‎ A．Walking too much B．Traveling too much C．Driving cars too much D．Climbing stairs too much．‎ ‎52．What was life like when the author was young？．‎ A．People usually went around on foot．‎ B．people often walked 25miles a day C．People used to climb the Statue of Liberty．‎ D．people considered a ten﹣jhour walk as a hardship．‎ ‎53．The author mentions Henry Thoreau to prove that．‎ A．middle﹣aged people like getting back to nature B．walking in nature helps enrich one's mind C．people need regular exercise to keep fit D．going on foot prevents heart disease ‎54．What is compared to"a steel river"in Paragraph6？．‎ A．A queue of cars B．A ray of traffic light C．A flash of lightning D．A stream of people ‎55．What is the author's intention of writing this passage？．‎ A．To tell people to reflect more non life．‎ B．To recommend people to give up driving C．To advise people to do outdoor activities D．To encourage people to return to walking．‎ 第一节：阅读表达（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题．‎ ‎56．（10分）Last December，Doris Low turned 90．Once

got more than 80，000accessible materials for people unable to read traditional print．"I can't imagine how many readers of all ages have benefited from ‎ Doris's contribution as a skilled volunteer
