Education.‎ B Hobbs was an orphan(孤儿). He worked in a factory and every day he got a little money. Hard work made him thin and weak. He wanted to borrow a lot of money to learn to paint pictures, but he did not think he could pay off the debts.‎ One day a lawyer said to him, “One thousand dollars, and here is the money.”As Hobbs took the package of notes, he was very dumbfounded. He didn't know where the money came from and how to spend it. He said to himself, “I could go to find a hotel and live like a rich man for a few days; or I give up my work in the factory and do what I'd like to do: painting pictures. I could do that for a few weeks, but what would I do after that? I should have lost my place in the factory and have no money to live on. If it were a little less money, I would buy a new coat, or a radio, or give a dinner to my friends. If it were more, I could give up the work and pay for painting pictures. But it's too much for one and too little for the other.”‎ ‎“Here is the reading of your uncle's will(遗嘱)”，said the lawyer, “telling what is to be done with this money after his death. I must ask you to remember one point. Your uncle has said you must bring me a paper showing exactly what you did with his money, as soon as you have spent it.”‎ ‎“Yes, I see.

The “quality” newspapers are often held up as an example of impartial journalism, but the Daily Mirror and the Daily Express usually impress newspapermen even more because they both sell about four million copies every day. British families generally buy a newspaper every morning and frequently take two or three on Sundays, but the vast circulation figures obtained are not only due to the Englishman’s thirst for news.Because the newspapers are all published nationally, copies can be delivered everywhere at the same time.‎ Though people abroad often know the names of the national papers, they seldom realize that there is another branch of the British press which sells almost as many copies. Local newspapers have a weekly circulation of 13 million. Almost every town and country area has one. Nearly all of them hold their own finance and many of them are very profitable.‎ These papers are written almost entirely for readers interested in local events — births, weddings, deaths, council meetings and sports — but the content is naturally influenced by the kind of community they serve. Editors prefer to rely on a small staff of people who all know the district well. A great deal of local news is regularly supplied by clubs and churches in the neighbourhood and it does not get out of date as quickly as national news. If there is no room for it in this week’s edition, an item can sometimes be held until the following week.‎ The editor must never forget that the success of any newspaper depends on advertising. He is usually anxious to keep the good will of local businessmen for this reason. But if the newspaper is well written and the news items are carefully chosen to attract local readers, the businessmen are grateful for the opportunity to keep their products in the public eye.‎ Local newspapers do not often comment on problems of national importance and editors rarely hold with taking sides on political questions. But they can often be of service to the community in expressing public feeling on local issues. A newspaper can sometimes persuade the council to take action to provide better shopping facilities, improve transport in the area and preserve local monuments and places of interest.‎ ‎8.The Daily Mirror impresses newspapermen more because_____.‎ A. it has a larger circulation than many other famous papers B. it is of better quality than many other papers C. it is sold nationally D. it is delivered everywhere in Britain ‎9. Local papers are preferred by readers who_____.‎ A. are interested in news B. are much interested in local events C. want to get news as quickly as possible D. work in churches and clubs ‎10. According to the passage,businessmen would like to advertise in papers if _____.‎ A. the papers are well written B. the news items are carefully chosen C. the news involves them D. the papers are popular and can attract ‎ readers ‎11. The last paragraph implies(暗示)that ______.‎ A. local papers seldom comment on politics B. local papers can sometimes influence policy making C. local papers are more concerned about their own communities D. local papers do not take sides on problems of national importance D Washing windows on a skyscraper is a dirty job. Hanging off the side of a building can also be dangerous, notes Oliver Nicholls, 19. So this 12th-grader invented a robot to handle the job. ‎ Some recent incidents inspired his project. In one, a couple of high-rise window washers were standing on a platform that fell down. No one died, but the pair was seriously injured. Oliver also witnessed someone fall and break his leg while cleaning a glass awning (雨篷) over the entrance to a building.‎ The new robot is about the size of a medium-sized picnic cooler and weighs 12 to15 kilograms. It's designed to hang off the side of a building from ropes, just as current window－washing platforms do．A hose（软管）carries water to the robot. A cable (电缆) delivers it electric power. The computer controls the robot up-and-down movements by adjusting the ropes from which the robot hangs. When the robot needs to move from one window to another, a set of propellers（螺旋桨） starts to work. They push the robot a short distance away from the building, while the ropes slide along a railing（栏杆）to carry the robot over to the next window. Then, as a different set of propellers holds the robot tight against the window, the cleaning cycle repeats. Oliver tested his robot by cleaning sample windows he'd built in his backyard. The robot’s propellers can hold the robot against a building even in winds as high as 45 kilometers per hour, the teen reports. He performed those tests using his family’s leaf blower.‎ Besides limiting the chance of injury, this window-washing robot could save building owners a bit of money. If commercialized, Oliver estimates it would cost about ＄11,000. That's about the same cost as hiring a crew to clean a 7-story building. So Oliver suspects his robot might be able to pay for itself after cleaning just one such building.‎ ‎12. What encouraged Oliver to develop his project?‎ A. His interest in housework. B. The accidents he experienced.‎ C. The high costs of washing windows D. Risks facing high-rise window washers.‎ ‎13. What do we know about the robot?‎ A. It carries water itself. B. It is supported by a platform.‎ C. It hangs from ropes while working. D. It can produce power while working.‎ ‎14. Why did Oliver test his robot with a leaf blower?‎ A. To record its working speed B. To see its wind-resistance ability C. To test whether it could remove the windows D. To know if it needed a different set of propellers ‎15. What does the last paragraph imply about the robot?‎ A. It is costly but time-saving. B. It still has many limitations.‎ C. It has huge commercial potential D. It has become a favorite of building owners 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Why should we never stop learning Today we often think learning is what we do in school, and once we’ve got our college degree, it’s time to work and stop learning. In fact, things aren’t really that black and white. We carry on learning in every part of our lives. 16．. Instead, it is about self-growth and enrichment. Here are some reasons why we should keep learning, no matter how old we are.‎ ‎17．‎ For me, the first reason to keep learning new things is that I enjoy it. It’s different from what I get from a movie. Although learning something new is not always comfortable, I’m happier in the long run. The more you learn, the more confident you will become, and the more pleased you will be with yourself.‎ Learning keeps you healthy Studies have shown that our brains are best developed when we use them often. 18．. Learning how to eat well, and how to prepare and cook food or learning a new sport are all great ways to keep better control of your body.‎ Learning puts you on the fast track to success ‎19． If you think that you’ve learned everything that you need to know about about running a business, or managing your team, you’ n fail to compete against those who just love to learn it.‎ Learning helps you have better control of your life In your personal life, you’ll want to keep learning too. For example, learning about managing your money—things that we are not often taught in school—can turn your life around. You can spend them on the most valuable things. 20．‎ So what have you learned this week? Why not make a list of what you want to learn next week?‎ A．As is known to all, successful people keep lifelong learning.‎ B．It brings more friends to us.‎ C．Learning adds pleasure to your life.‎ D．You can also learn to manage your time, thus avoiding making you life a mess. ‎ E. It helps you get better prepared for examinations.‎ F. Learning often doesn’t mean to pass exams.‎ G. Older people who carry on learning have more chance to get free from illnesses of aged people. ‎ 第二部分 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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ In a small village there lived a lazy Brahmin Ramdas.
