3.When I learned that my 71-year-old mother was playing Scrabble-a word game-against herself,I knew I had to do something.My husband suggested we give her a computer to play against.I wasn't sure my mother was ready for it.After all,it had taken 10years to persuade her to buy an electric cooker.Even so,we packed up our old computer and delivered it to my parents'home.And so began my mother's adventure in the world of computers.
It also marked the beginning of an unusual teaching task for me.I've taught people of all ages,but I never thought I would be teaching my mother how to do anything.She has been the one teaching me all my life:to cool and sew; to enjoy the good times and put up with the bad.Now it was my turn to give something back.
It wasn't easy at the beginning.There was so much to explain and to introduce.Slowly but surely,my mother caught on,making notes in a little notebook.After a few months of Scrabble and other games,I decided it was time to introduce her to word processing.This proved to be a bigger challenge to her,so I gave her some homework I asked her to write me a letter,using different letter types,colors and spaces.
"Are you this demanding with your kindergarten pupils?"she asked.
"No,of course not,"I said."They already know how to use a computer."
My mother isn't the only one experiencing a fast personal growth period.Thanks to the computer,my father has finally got over his phone allergy.For as long as I can remember,any time I called,my mother would answer.Dad and I have had more phone conversations in the last two months than we've had in the past 20years.

29.What does the author do?B
A.She is a cook.
B.She is a teacher.
C.She is a housewife.

B.to support her in doing her homework
C.to help her through the bad times
D.to make her life more enjoyable
31.The author asked her mother to write her a letterC.
A.because her mother had stopped using the telephone
B.because she wanted to keep in touch with her mother
C.so that her mother could practice what she had learned
D.so that mother could be free from housework
32.After the computer was brought home,the author's fatherB.
A.lost interest in cooking

16.Near the town of Montignac in Southern France,visitors can find some of the most beautiful cave paintings in the world-the Lascaux Cave Paintings(拉斯科洞窟壁画).
    The history of these paintings is very interesting.Most caves are formed(61)bynature under the ground,but some have entrances people can find.That's just what happened one day in 1940.Four boys were taking(62)awalk in the woods near Montignac.As they walked along,one of them noticed an unusual rock.(63)Whenthey got closer,they found it wasn't a rock but an opening in the ground.This opening led to a cave,so they decided to have a look around it.The walls of the cave were(64)covered(cover)with ancient art.The boys didn't know it,but the cave was the find of the century!
    Over the years,many historians and artists came to study the art.They wanted to understand who painted the pictures and(65)whatthey might mean.They soon realized some of the art indicated animals that were on Earth a long time ago.Many of the pictures also showed people(66)following(follow)animals and trying to kill them for food.In the end,historians agreed that this was likely to be the art of a civilization that existed over 15,000 years ago.
    By 1950,over a thousand people from all over the world were visiting the cave every day.But by 1955,the paintings were beginning to become difficult(67)to see(see).Many people were passing through the cave,so the paintings were losing their color.(68)Sadly(sad),people can no longer visit the cave.However,another set of cave paintings has been created.These paintings look exactly the same(69)asthe Lascaux Cave Paintings.People (70)made(make)the paintings so that everyone can still learn about this great ancient civilization.

11.阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文.
How early must a student begin preparing for an international education?Lisa Jain,the representative of The College Board in India showed her idea here clearly.
Many students who want to study abroad believe they need to start planning for it only in Grade12.What they don't realize is the amount of time,thought,and effort it requires.That is why a student should begin the ground work in Grade 10in order to gain a clear undestanding of what the college application process requires and to be prepared to deal with the pressures that will follow.
Focus on school grades and marks.It is important to try your best to perform well in academics throughout high school and not just in Grade 12.
Start gaining experience.Get involved in a small number of activities ove a long period of time,such as a sport,the arts,writing,research,community work,etc,through which you create impact in the activity,climb to a leadership position,grow as a person and develop skills.Picking something in Grade 12and claiming it's your passion won't work.
Begin research.Which country do you want to apply to colleges in?What do you want to study at college?Researching early and start reflecting on what you'd enjoy learning will make the college and major selection process less overwhelming in Grade 12.
All your efforts in Grade 10-11will help ease your burden in Grade 12.If you do everything at the right time,you will find the process enjoyable and realize there is hardly a reason to stress.Just remember:The early birds catch the worms!

In the passage,Lisa Jain offered her advice to those wanting to study abroad,pointing out that,to be prepared,a student should begin the ground work early in Grade 10,like focusing on good grades from the very beginning.
The early birds catch the worms!What a thought-provoking proverb,which reminds us to plan ahead of time and make full preparations so as to achieve success.In my opinion,"the early birds"means the people who always make early plans and adequate preparations,and"catch worms"indicates catching opportunities and harvesting success.Just as another saying goes,opportunities are for those who are prepared.Only if a person has an early start to get everything ready can he possess the ability to seize the chance and accomplish his goal.
Yu Ming Hong,the founder of the famous educational institution New Oriental,is a good illustration of the truth that success lies in an early start and good preparations. When studying in Peking university,aiming to find a good job in Beijing after graduation,Yu Ming Hong decided to improve his major English.So,from the freshman year,he kept reciting words every day and stuck to it all the way through his college life. With an early start and constant efforts,by the time he graduated,he had become the student who had the largest vocabulary among his classmates,which contributed directly to his good grades in English and thus he successfully became an English teacher in Peking University and later set up the well-known school.Undoubtedly,it was his"being the early bird"that brought him his success today.
Therefore,be an early bird,and you will find it pays off.But how?First of all,a clear goal is essential,which will lead us to where we want to go.Secondly,plan the day and manage our time.Early birds never fails to carefully plan and make the best of his time.And then painstaking efforts follow..

8.I'm not so sure I like my friends any more.I used to like them-to be honest.We'd have lunch,talk on the phone or exchange emails,and they all seemed normal enough.But then came FaceBook,and I was introduced to a sad fact:many of my friends have dark sides that they had kept from me.
Today my friends show off the more unpleasant aspects of their personalities via FaceBook.No longer hidden,they're thrown in my face like TV commercials-unavoidable and endless advertisements for the worst of their personalities.
Take Fred.If you were to have lunch with him,you'd find him warm,and self-effacing(谦逊的).Read his FaceBook and you'll realize he's an unbearable,food-obsessed boring man.He'd pause to have a cup of coffee on his way to save a drowning man-and then write about it.
Take Andy.You won't find a smarter CEO anywhere,but now he's a CEO without a company to run.So he plays Mafia Wars on FaceBook.He's doing well-level 731.Thanks to FaceBook,I know he's playing about 18hours a day.Andy,you've run four companies-and this is how you spend your downtime?What happened to golf?What happened to getting another job?
Take Liz.She is positive that the flu vaccine will kill us all and that we should avoid it.And then comes Chris who likes to post at least 20times a day on every website he can find,so I get to read his thoughts twice,once on FaceBook and once on Twitter.
In real life,I don't see these sides of people.Face to face,my friends show me their best.They're nice,smart people.But face to FaceBook,my friends are like a blind date which goes horribly wrong.
I'm left with a dilemma.Who is my real friend?Is it the Liz I have lunch with or the anti-vaccine madman on FaceBook?Is it the Fred I can grab a sandwich with or the Fred who weeps if he's at a party and the wine isn't up to his standards?

26.Who is opposed to the flu vaccine in the text?C
A.Fred.            
B.Andy.        
C.Liz.       
D.Chris.
27.What's Andy probably busy in doing now?D
A.He's running his company.    
B.He's playing golf all day.
C.He's looking for another job.    
D.He's playing computer games.
28.According to the text,FaceBook tends toA.
A.present another side of people      
B.offer some foods for free
C.show endless advertisements       
D.get you to more parties
29.What does"it"underlined in the last paragraph refer to?B
A.a dilemma         
B.my real friend    
C.Facebook    
D.Twitter
30.The text is developed mainly byA.
A.giving examples                 
B.following the time order
C.1isting figures                   
D.raising questions.
