Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next,she tied several chopsticks together,representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.‎ Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However,when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975,they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother,‎ ‎ Diana,who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards , Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However,Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.‎ Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves,but one by one,the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other,they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elizabeth explains , " Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity,and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family,there is no business."‎ Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans' corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.‎ ‎25. Helene tied several chopsticks together to show      ‎ A. the advantage of chopsticks B. the difficulty of growing up C. the strength of family unity D. the best way of giving a lesson ‎26. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the An family      ‎ A. left Vietnam without much money B. had a large restaurant in California in 1975‎ C. bought a restaurant from Diana D. opened a sandwich shop in Los Angeles ‎27. What can we infer about the An daughters?‎ A. They did not finish their college education.‎ B. They could not bear to work in the family business. ‎ C. They were troubled by disagreement among family members.‎ D. They were influenced by what Helene taught them.‎ ‎28. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?‎ A. How to succeed in business B. Strength comes from peace C. Family unity builds success D. How to achieve a big dream C As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, do people remember 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 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 Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember 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.‎ ‎29. What can we learn about the first experiment?‎ A. 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 formation.‎ 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.‎ ‎32. The underlined word in last paragraph means ________. ‎ A. remember B. send C. keep D. gain ‎ D At thirteen, I was diagnosed(诊断) with a kind of attention disorder. 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?”‎ ‎33.What do we know about Louis Braille?‎ A.He had good sight. B. He made a great invention.‎ C.He gave up reading. D. He learned a lot at school.‎ ‎34. What was Mrs. Smith’s attitude to the author at the end of the story?‎ A. angry.      B. impatient.      C. sympathetic.        D. encouraging.‎ ‎35. 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.‎ 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。‎ iPads vs. Textbooks What if you could have your whole backpack at the touch of your fingertips? In the first month of the Apple iPads release, 25million were sold! People all over the world use iPads for all sorts of different things, but one of their finest qualities is the ability to be a textbook. 36　To begin with, iPad are less expensive. Textbooks become outdated and schools have to buy new books, but with an iPad schools can update them for free. 　37　Schools don’t have to spend $500 every year for iPads because they last a while and can be updated.‎ ‎38　Students usually have multiple(多种多样的)classes, which results in multiple textbooks. Heavy backpacks filled with books can cause back problem. A solution to that is an iPad, which only weighs 1.33 pounds and can hold all of a student’s textbooks.‎ Third, schools should get rid of their textbooks and get iPads because they have more abilities. Some might think all of the apps are distracting, but the apps actually make iPads more efficient. 39　Textbooks cannot do those tasks, but iPads can easily do them with just a tap of the fingertip.‎ Lastly, iPads are a better choice for schools instead of textbooks because these devices allow students to access their learning anywhere at any time. 40　With iPads, they find it easier to get their homework done.‎ In conclusion, schools should get rid of their clumsy textbooks and switch to iPads. iPads have allowed this generation to have their entire backpack in the palm of their hands.‎ A. Therefore, they can use the saved money for other programs.‎ B. Second, iPads cost less and are more popular.‎ C.
