    When the team was cheering for their    17  , Michael was sitting in the corner all alone. The coach came to him and said, “You were fantastic! Tell me    18  you did it?”
    Tears in eyes, Michael said, “Well, you knew my dad died, but did you know he was blind?” He    19   a smile, “Dad came to all my games, but today was the first time he could   20   me play, and I wanted to show him I could do it!”

    I was walking along the main street of a small seaside town in the north of England looking for somewhere to make a phone call．My car had broken down outside the town and I wanted to contact the AA Company．Low grey clouds were gathering across the sky and there was a cold damp wind blowing off the sea which nearly threw me off my feet every time I crossed one of the side streets．It had rained in the night and water was dropping from the bare trees that lined the street．I was glad that I was wearing a thick coat．
    There was no sign of a call box, nor was there anyone at that early hour whom I could ask．I had thought I might find a shop open selling the Sunday papers or a milkman doing his rounds, but the town was completely dead．The only living thing I saw was a thin frightened cat outside a small restaurant．
    Then suddenly I found what I was looking for．There was a small post office, and almost hidden from sight in a dark narrow street．Next to it was the town’s only public call box, which badly needed a coat of paint．I hurried forward, but stopped in astonishment when I saw through the dirty glass that there was a man inside．He was fat, and was wearing a cheap blue plastic raincoat．I could not see his face and he didn’t raise his head at the sound of my footsteps．
    Carefully, I remained standing a few feet away and lit a cigarette to wait for my turn．It was when I threw the dead match on the ground that I noticed something bright red trickling from under the box call door．
    小题1:At what time was the story set?
    A．An early winter morning．B．A cold winter afternoon．

    One of the greatest contributions to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its most unusual. In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations (引文)showing how it was used.
    This was a huge task. So Murrary had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American Surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his address as “Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire,” 50 miles from Oxford.
    Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next years, he became one of the staff’s most valued contributors.
    But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline to visit Oxford. So in 1897， Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum for the Criminally insane.
    Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years. Murray continued to visit Minor regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds.
    In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.
    Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed. The 12 volumes defined 414,825 words, and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient.
    小题1:According to the text, the first Oxford English Dictionary _________.

    小题3:Why did Dr. Minor refuse to visit Oxford?
    A．He was shut in an asylum
    B．He lived far from Oxford
    C．He was busy writing a book
    D．He disliked traveling
    小题4:Prof. Murray and Dr. Minor became friends mainly because __________.
    A．they both served in the Civil War.
    B．They had a common interest in words
    C．Minor recovered with the help of Murray
    D．Murray went to America regularly to visit Minor

    Sometimes, something that is considered to be negative turns out to be an advantage on the job. Though he is only l8 years old and blind, Suleyman Gokyigit is among the top computer technicians and programmers at InteliData Technologies Corp., a large software company with several offices across the United States.
    "After our company united with another one last October, two different computer networks were driving us crazy," recalls Douglas Braun, the InteliData president. "We couldn't even send e-mail to each other.” In three weeks Mr Gokyigit created the software needed to connect the two networks. "None of the company's 350 other employees could have done the job in three months," says Mr. Braun. " Suleyman can 'see' into the heart of the computer.”
    Mr. Gokyigfi's gift, as Mr. Braun calls it, is an unusual ability to form an idea of the inside of a machine. "The computer permits me to reach out into the world and do almost anything I want to do," says Mr. Gokyigit
    The young programmer is at home with hardware as well, thanks partly to a highly developed sense of touch. Mitzi Nowakowski, an office manager at InteliData, remembers how he easily disconnected and reconnected their computer systems during a move last year. "Through feel, Suleyman can find the position of connectors, pins and wires much faster than most other people with sight," he says.
    Much of the student programmer's speed comes from his ability not to be interrupted while at the computer. When typing, he listens carefully to the synthesizer （合成器）. His long, thin fingers fly over the keyboard. "Nothing seems to shake his attention," says Mrs. Nowakowski, his boss.
    Mr. Gokyigit is the only company employee who is available 24 hours a day. "We consider him our top problem solver." says Mr. Braun.
    小题1:According to Mr. Braun, Suleyman ________________.
    A．can work wonders on computer
    B．is the best technician in the world
    C．has done a hard job in three months
    D．has united InteliData Technologies Corp. with another computer company
    小题2:The underlined part "is at home with hardware" ( paragraph 4 ） means _________.
    A．is good at dealing with computer hardware
    B．is fond of computer hardware
    C．works with computer hardware at home
    D．feels comfortable when working with computer hardware
    小题3:Suleyman was quick while at the computer mostly because of ______.
    A．his blindnessB．his attention on the synthesizer
    C．his long, thin fingersD．his ability not to be interrupted
    小题4:What does the text mainly tell us?
    A．Computer technicians are more likely to be gifted.
    B．One's disadvantages may prove to be advantages.
    C．The disabled can also play an important role in society.
    D．Top computer scientists have unusual abilities to form ideas of computers.

    A baby born in India has been declared the world's seven billionth person by child rights group Plan International．Baby Nargis was born at 07：25 local time(01：55GMT)in Mall village in India's Uttar Pradesh state．Plan International says Nargis has been chosen symbolically as it is not possible to know where exactly the seven billionth baby is born．In addition to baby Nargis in India，Bangladesh，the Philippines and Cambodia have all identified seven billionth babies．The United Nations estimated that on Monday 31 October．the world's population would reach seven billion．
    Populations are growing faster than economies in many poor countries in Africa and some in Asia．At the same time，low birth rates in Japan and many European nations have raised concerns about labor shortages．
    Population experts at the United Nations estimated that the world reached six billion in October 1999．They predict nine billion by 2050 and ten billion by the end of the century． China's population of one and a third billion is currently the world's largest．India is second at 1．2 billion．But India is expected to pass China and reach one and a half billion people around 2025．
    India will also have one of the world's youngest populations．Economists say this is a chance for a so-called．demographic dividend．India could gain from the skills of young people in a growing economy at a time when other countries have aging populations．But economists say current rates of growth，although high，may not create enough jobs．Also，the public education system is failing to meet demand and schooling is often of poor quality．Another concern is health care．Nearly half of India's children under the age of five are malnourished(营养不良).
    Michal Rutkowski，the director of human development in South Asia at the World Bank, says reaching seven billion people in the world is a good time for a call to action．He says，“I think the bottom line of the story is that the public policy needs to become really，really serious about sex equality and about access to services—to fight against malnutrition，and to provide for access to health services，water and schooling．”
    小题1:What is true about the world's seven billionth person?
    A．Baby Nargis is not the only child chosen as the seven billionth baby.
    B．Baby Nargis has been chosen carefully so it is exactly the seven billionth baby．

    A．Labor shortage．B．Poor health care．

    For the past two years, 8-year-old Harli Jordean from Stoke Newington, London, has been selling marbles(弹珠). His successful marble company, Marble King, sells all things marble-related － from affordable tubs of the glass playthings to significantly expensive items like Duke of York solitaire tables － sourced, purchased and processed by the mini-CEO himself.
    “I like having my own company. I like being the boss,” Harli told the Mirror.
    With profits now in the thousands, “the world’s youngest CEO” has had to get his mother and older brothers to help him meet the growing demand.
    Harli launched Marble King after swapping marbles at school led to schoolchildren consuming his marble collection. Yes, he literally “lost his marbles.” Harli and his mother, Tina, turned to the Internet to find replacements.
    Harli saw an empty space online: the marbles he wanted were hard to find. Within months, Harli had his own marble-selling website － and orders started pouring in.
    Tina says her son's attachment to marbles started when he was just 6.
    “His attachment became so passionate that we started calling him the Marble King — so when he wanted to set up a website it was the natural name for it,” she told The Sun.
    “I never thought it would become so popular － we are struggling to cope with the number of orders at times.”
    The 8-year-old boy has his sights set on expanding his business and launching his own brand of marbles.
    “Sometimes his ideas are so grand we have to scale them back a bit. But his dream is still to own Britain's biggest marble shop and open stores around the world,” Tina told The Daily Mail.
    “At the moment he is annoying me by creating his own Marble King marbles － so that could well be the next step for him.”
    小题1:Harli’s Marble Company became popular as soon as he launched it because ______.
    A．it was run by “the world’s youngest CEO”
    B．it filled the gap of online marble trade
    C．Harli was fascinated with marble collection
    D．Harli met the growing demand of the customers
    小题2:How many mass media are mentioned in the passage?
    A．One B．Two C．Three D．Four
    小题3:The underlined expression “scale them back” is closest in meaning to ______.
    A．hold them downB．carry them out
    C．set them asideD．clear them away
    小题4:What message do the last two paragraphs carry?
    A．Conflicts often occur between Harli Jordean and his family.
    B．Harli’s mother and brothers are worried about Marble King’s future.
    C．Marble King marbles will surely attract more fans around the world.
    D．The “Marble King” has great ambition for his Marble King company.

    Almost two-thirds of children want their parents to spend more time reading to them before bed, and most prefer Mum’s storytelling to Dad’s, researchers said.
    They conducted a study that showed younger children aged 3-4 were most hungry for more stories, with over three-quarters saying they wished their parents read to them more often.
    More than half of all children aged 3-8 said story time was their favourite pastime with their parents.
    "The results of our research confirm the traditional activity of storytelling continues to be a powerful learning and emotional resource in children’s lives," said child psychologist Richard Woolfson.
    Storytelling ranked higher than television or video games among pastimes for kids, and 82 percent said reading a story with their parents helped them sleep better, according the survey of 500 children aged 3-8 in Britain.
    The best storytellers were mothers who used funny voices to illustrate different characters or made their own special sound effects to keep the story moving, researchers said.
    When mum and dad are not at hand, celebrities will do: over 30 percent of children said they would like to hear a bedtime story from Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, with teen idols Zac Efron, Miley Cyrus and Emma Watson.
    "It can be very difficult for parents to find the time to read with their children, but these moments can help build strong bonds and play a vital part in their child’s development," said Woolfson.
    小题1:The underlined word “pastime” in the passage mot probably means        .
    A．old timeB．entertainmentC．emotionD．character
    小题2:The author develops the passage mainly by      .
    A．pointing out similarities and differencesB．following the natural time order
    C．comparing opinions from different fieldsD．providing examples and statistics
    小题3:Reading a story with their parents helped most kids aged 3-8       .
    A．grow strongerB．become more emotional
    C．sleep betterD．become more powerful
