    I am my mother’s third child. When I was born, the doctor gently explained to my mother that my left arm was     36   , below the elbow (肘). Then he gave her some     37   , “Don’t treat her any     38    from the other girls. Demand more.” And she     39   !
    My mother had to work to     40    my family. There were five girls in our family and we all had to     41   . Once when I was about seven, I came out of the     42   , “Mom, I can’t peel (削……皮) potatoes. I only have one hand.”
    “You get back to peel those potatoes, and don’t ever use that as a(n)     43    for anything again!”
    Of course I could peel potatoes — with my good hand, while holding them down with my __44    arm. There was always a     45   , and Mom knew it. “If you try hard    46   ,” she said, “you can do anything.”
    Once in the second grade, our teacher had each of us race across the monkey bars (攀爬架). When it was my turn, I     47    my head. Some kids     48   . I went home crying.
    After work the next afternoon, Mom     49    me back to the school playground.
    “Now,     50    up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by     51    I practiced, and she     52    me when I made progress.
    I’ll never forget the     53    time I was crossing the bars. The kids were standing there with their mouths open.
    It was the way with everything. When I     54    I can’t handle (处理) things, I see Mom’s smile again. She had the heart to     55    anything. And she taught me I could, too.

    小题1:A
    小题1:．A. 解析：联系下文我们可以得知，出生时，“我”左胳臂肘以下的部分缺少。从下文可知，作者的胳膊不是断了(bro—
    ken)，也不是生病(diseased)，而是没有。
    小题1:. D 解析：从空后的句子我们得知，这是医生给“我”母亲的建议，要母亲像对待一个正常的孩子那样对待“我”。此处医生给我母亲的不是“警告”，也不是“帮助”，更不是“药”。
    小题1:．B 解析：从下句demand more可以得知，医生要“我”母亲不要因为“我”的残疾就把“我”与其他孩子区别对待。从后面的介词from可排除其他选项，不合搭配。
    小题1:．A 解析：did在此相当于demanded more，此处强调母亲确实照医生的话做了。B、C不合题意。D用于替代句中的系表结构，而此处demand more是实意动词。
    小题1:．C 解析：support在这里是“支撑，养活”的意思，说明母亲要工作来养家糊口。从母亲的艰辛这一点可排除其他动词； care"关心”’feed"喂养”。
    小题1:．D 解析：从下文“我”剥土豆皮的经历可得知“我们”姐妹几个都帮母亲的忙。help out当“帮助”讲’pay attention"注意”；workout"解决问题；出现……结果”；carry out"执行(任务等)”，都不合题意。    
    小题1:．A 解析：从空后的"Mom，I can’t peel potatoes．”看，“我”从厨房走出来。从作者削土豆这——具体的语境可排除其他选项。
    小题1:. C 解析：空前的that指代“我”所说的I can’t peel potatoes，I only have one hand．母亲认为那是借口，故用eXCUS~“主
    意”“变化”“解释”在此都不合逻辑。
    小题1:．B 解析：用右手剥皮，用左胳膊把土豆握住，my other arm 指失去肘部以下的那只胳膊。lost"失踪的、丢失的”，往往指整个东西，而此处作者的胳膊仅仅缺少了半截；next"下一个”指次序；longer不合逻辑。
    小题1:．B 解析：从下文"if you try hard 11(enough)，you can do anything．”我们得知，“我”认为办法总是有的。此处指的是有“办法”，其他选项不合题意。
    小题1:．A 解析：enough在这里做程度副词，修饰前面的副词hard．题意为：假如你足够努力，你什么事情都可以做。100表示两种两样的情况；again表示动作的重复，都不合题意。
    小题1:．C 解析：从下句我们知道，这次“我”没有做，因此当老师要“我”做的时候，“我”摇头拒绝，因此用shock．从下文以及作者是残疾人这一点可排除其他选项。
    小题1:．D 解析：在这里作者是说有几个孩子嘲笑“我”，用laugh at sb A、C有较大干扰性，cheered多表达因为成功、喜悦而欢呼庆祝，而joke指开玩笑。
    小题1:．B 解析：take sb．t。a place意思是“领着某人去某地”。Drive sb．t。意为“开车拉送某人到什么地方”；send sb．To a place意为“派某人去某地”；carry sb．t。意为“携带某人去某地”。
    小题1:．A 解析：pull up在这里指把身体拉上去。在这里母亲要“我”用右手把身体拉上高低杠。pull表示“拉，牵引”。因为后面有“用你的右手”的信息限制，因此排除其他选项。
    小题1:．B 解析：as在此相当于when或while，在我练习的时候，母亲站在一边。此处表示两个动作同时发生，因此排除其他选项。
    小题1:．C 解析：在“我”有进步时，母亲表场“我”。由前面“进步”信息提示，可排除“帮助”“抬”“保护”。
    小题1:．D 解析：the next time指自那次以后的下一次；the first time“第一次”；the last time"上一次，最后一次”；the wonderful time"最美好的时光”都不合语境。
    小题1:．B解析：不能够处理事情是“我”的担心，故用fear，相当于be afraid．其他答案均有一定干扰性，联系上下文我们知道，母亲一直鼓励“我”不要把自己看作残疾人，她要求“我”做正常人所做的一切事情。admit“承认”，realize"意识到”，此处都不合语境。
    小题1:. A 解析：“她用心去面对一切事情”。D项有一定干扰性，从空前的heart我们得知，母亲从心理上能勇敢面对一切困难。

    When Jane Austen (1775--1817) wrote her novels in England, she was writing about a   21 that most of us would not recognize.
    But today Austen’s books are in great   22  than ever. In the last ten years, five or six novels have been   23  into Hollywood films, while her books continue to be bestsellers. So why is Austen still   24 ?
    Richard Jenkyns, a professor of English at Oxford University argued that her novels still  25  people because they  26 the same issues today as they were when she wrote them.
    Her novels are about women   27 to find a perfect husband, but also  28 issues surrounding marriages, friendships and the family. “The plots are fairly timeless about human interaction   29 are familiar to us,” Jenkyns says.
    The most famous book Austen wrote is Pride and Prejudice, a   30  story between Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy. At first the two   31 do not get on. They   32  fall in love, but still have to   33  opposition to their relationship from their families.
    All of Austen’s books are   34  to read, making them popular with children and adults,
      35 they work on different levels so people can take  36 they need from them, author Kate Henry says.
    “You can choose to see the politics and feminism(男女平等思想) in them,  37 you don’t want to take on those issues you can turn a blind eye to it,” she says.
      38 is often hailed(赞扬) as the greatest romance writer in the English language, so it is surprising she remained  39 . “Maybe she was too much of a romantic, waiting for a    40
    man,” Henry says.

    Qian Xuesen is one of the pioneers of China's space science. As a world-famous expert on aerospace rockets and aerodynamics, he obtained great achievements in the areas of applied mechanics, engineering cybernetics and system engineering and made distinguished contributions to the foundation and development of Chinese aerospace undertaking(事业).
    He graduated from Shanghai Jiaotong University in 1934, and Qian Xuesen went to the United States to study in MIT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, one year later. After receiving master's degree in MIT, he went to study in California Institute of Technology and received PhD degrees in both aerospace and mathematics.
    In 1955, six years after the founding of People's Republic of China, Qian Xuesen returned to his motherland. His return brought China the hope of developing space science and its own missiles. In 1956, Qian Xuesen put forward “Proposal on the Development of China's Aviation Industry for National Defense”. With the support from Zhou Enlai, the premier, and marshal Nie Rongzheng, Qian Xuesen began to prepare for the establishment of China's first missile and rocket research and development structure, the Fifth Research Institute of State Ministry of Defense. Henceforth(从此以后), he has long been in charge of the chief technological research and development of China's missile, rocket and spacecraft.
    Due to research and development led by Qian Xuesen, China successfully exploded its first atom bomb in 1964. Later, China launched its first man-made satellite, Dong Fang Hong I, to the earth orbit on April 24, 1970, becoming the fifth country in the world to independently launch satellite following the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the USA, France and Japan. The satellite floated around the earth, blaring(高声播放)the song Dong Fang Hong, which has the same name as the satellite.
    As a forerunner leading the development of China's aerospace science and technology, Qian Xuesen also provided chances for young scientists. Wang Yongzhi, former chief designer of China's manned-space project, has benefited a lot from Qian Xuesen. “He suggested that rocket of the second generation should be developed by our second generation scientists.

    It is not often realized that women held a high place in southern European societies in the 10 th and 11 th centuries. As wife, the woman was protected by the setting up of a dowry (嫁妆) or decimum. Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of desertion (遗弃)，but in reality its function in the social and family life of the time was much more important. The decimum was the wife’s right to receive a tenth of all her husband’s property. The wife had the right to withhold consent, in all transactions the husband would make, And more than just a right: the documents showed that she enjoyed a real power of decision, equal to that of her husband. In no case did the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal status of husband and wife.
    The wife shared in the management of her husband’s personal property, but the opposite was not always true. Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance(遗产，继承物)against husbands who tried to exceed their rights, and on occasion they showed a fine fighting spirit. A case in point is that of Maria, Vivas, a Catalan woman of Barcelona. Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on compensation. None being offered, she succeeded in dragging her husband to the scribe to have a contract duly drawn up assigning her a piece of land from Miro’s personal inheritance. The unfortunate husband was obliged to agree, as the contract says, “for the sake of peace.” Either through the dowry or through being hot-tempered, the Catalan wife knew how to win herself, within the context of the family, a powerful economic position.
    小题1: A decimum was      .
    A．the wife’s inheritance from her father
    B．a gift of money to the new husband
    C．a written contract
    D．the wife’s right to receive one-tenth of her husband’s property
    小题2: In the society described in the passage, the legal standing of the wife in marriage was      .
    A．higher than that of her husband B．lower than that of her husband
    C．the same as that of her husbandD．higher than that of a single woman
    小题3: What compensation did Maria Vivas get for the field?
    A．Some of the land Miro had inherited.B．A tenth of Miro’s land.
    C．Money for household expenses.D．Money from Miro’s inheritance.
    小题4: Which of the following is Not mentioned as an effect of the dowry system?
    A．The husband had to share the power of decision in marriage.
    B．The wife was protested from desertion.
    C．The wife gained a powerful economic position.
    D．The husband was given control over his wife’s property.

    Dr. Marie Curie is known to the world as the scientist who discovered radioactive metals i.e. Radium and Polonium.
    Marie Curie was a Polish physicist and chemist. Together with her husband, Pierre, she discovered two new elements and studied the x-rays they emitted. She found that the harmful properties of x-rays were able to kill tumors. By the end of World War I, Marie Curie was probably the most famous woman in the world. She had made a conscious decision, however, not to patent methods of processing radium or its medical applications.
    Marie Curie was born on November 7, 1867 in Poland and died on July 4, 1934. Her co-discovery with her husband Pierre Curie of the radioactive elements radium and polonium represents one of the best known stories in modern science for which they were recognized in 1901 with the Nobel Prize for Physics. In 1911, Marie Curie was honored with a second Nobel prize, this time for chemistry, to honor her for successfully isolating pure radium and determining radium's atomic weight.
    As a child, Marie Curie amazed people with her great memory. She learned to read when she was only four years old. Her father was a professor of science and the instruments that he kept in a glass case fascinated Marie. She dreamed of becoming a scientist, but that would not be easy. Her family became very poor, and at the age of 18, Marie became a governess. She helped pay for her sister to study in Paris. Later, her sister helped Marie with her education. In 1891, Marie attended the Sorbonne University in Paris where she met and married Pierre Curie, a well-known physicist.
    Marie Curie contributed greatly to our understanding of radioactivity and the effects of x-rays. She received two Nobel prizes for her brilliant work, but died of leukemia, caused by her repeated exposure to radioactive material.
