5.I was born under the Blue Ridge,and under that side which is blue in the evening light,in a wild land of game and forest and rushing waters.There,on the borders of a creek that runs into the Yadkin River,in a cabin that was chinked with red mud,I came into the world a subject of King George the Third,in that part of his realm known as the province of North Carolina.
The cabin smelt very strongly of corn-pone and bacon,and the odor of pelts.It had two shakedowns(临时床铺),on one of which I slept under a bearskin.A rough stone chimney was raised outside,and the fireplace was as long as my father was tall.There was a crane in it,and a bake kettle; and over it great buckhorns held my father's rifle when it was not in use.On other horns hung jerked bear's meat and venison hams,and gourds for drinking cups,and bags of seed,and my father's best hunting shirt; also,in a neglected corner,several articles of woman's clothing.These once belonged to my mother.Among them was a gown of silk,of a fine,faded pattern,which I always wondered.The women at the Cross-Roads,twelve miles away,were dressed in coarse butternut wool and huge sunbonnets.But when I questioned my father on these matters he would give me no answers.
My father was-how shall I say what he was?To this day I can only surmise many things of him.He was a Scotchman born,and I know now that he had a slight Scotch accent.At the time of which I write,my early childhood,he was a frontiersman and hunter.I can see him now,with his hunting shirt and leggins (绑腿) and moccasins(莫卡辛鞋); his powder horn,engraved with wondrous scenes; his bullet pouch and tomahawk and hunting knife.He was a tall,lean man with a strange,sad face.And he talked little except when he drank too many"horns,"as they were called in that country.These little bad behaviors of my father's were a permanent source of wonder to me-and,I must say,of delight.They occurred only when a passing traveler who hit his fancy chanced that way,or,what was almost as rare,a neighbor.Many a winter night I have lain awake under the skins,listening to a flow of language that held me spellbound,though I understood scarce a word of it.P.F.Productions
"Virtuous(有德行的) and vicious(罪恶的) every man must be,
Few in the extreme,but all in a degree."
The chance neighbor or traveler was no less struck with wonder.And many the time have I heard the query,at the Cross-Roads and elsewhere,"Whar Alec Trimble got his larnin'?"
 
70.The mention of the dress in the second paragraph is most likely meant toC.
A.show the similarity between its owner and other members of the community
B.show how warm the climate was
C.show the dissimilarity between its owner and other members of the community
D.give us insight into the way most of the women of the region dressed
71.Judging by the sentences surrounding it,the underlined word"surmise"in the third paragraph most nearly meansD.
A.to form a negative opinion          
B.to praise
C.to desire                       
D.to guess
72.Why did the narrator enjoy it when his father drank too many"horns,"or drafts of liquor?A
A.The father spoke brilliantly at those times.
B.The boy was then allowed to do as he pleased.
C.These were the only times when the father was not abusive.
D.The boy was allowed to sample the drink himself.P.F.Productions
73.What is the meaning of the lines of verse (诗句) quoted in the passage?B
A.Men who pretend to be virtuous are actually vicious.
B.Moderate amounts of virtuousness and viciousness are present in all men.
C.Virtuous men cannot also be vicious.
D.Whether men are virtuous or vicious depends on the difficulty of their circumstances.

16.One afternoon last week,I saw three tearful children from my son's school being comforted by teachers.That morning,my 11-year-old had stomach pains,retching(干呕)into a bowl.Talking to other mothers later,I heard about other children with stomachache or difficulty sleeping the night before.
    What caused so much pain?Sports day.Sports day might be necessary at a highly-competitive independent school,but not at a village primary school.For the children who can fly like the wind,sports day cause no problem.For those who are overweight or just not good at sport,it is nightmare(恶梦).Even for those who enjoy running but fall halfway down the track in front of the entire school and their parents,it can prove a disaster.
    Why do we put our children through this annual suffering?Some may say competition is character building; or it's taking part,not winning,that's important; or that it is a tradition of school life.I just felt great pity for those children in tears or in pain.
    Team games at the end of sports day produced some close races,wild enthusiasm,lots of shouting-and were fun to watch.More importantly,the children who were not so fast or quick at passing the ball were hidden a little from everyone's eyes.Some of them also had the thrill of being on the winning side.
    I wish that sports day could be abandoned and replaced with some other less-competitive event.Perhaps an afternoon of team games,with a few races for those who want them,would be less stressful for the children and a lot more fun to watch.

57.What can we learn about the author's son from Paragraph 1?D
A.He talked with some mothers.B.He comforted his classmates.
C.He had difficulty in sleeping.D.He suffered from stomachache.
58.Sports day is still an annul event in this school probably becauseB.
A.this is an independent school     B.it is a tradition of the school
C.it helps children lose weight      D.children enjoy watching sports
59.What does the author think about team games?B
A.They should include more stressful races.
B.They are acceptable to different children.
C.They should be abandoned at primary schools.
D.They are less fun for those who love running.
60.What is the author's attitude towards sports day?A
A.Critical.B.Neutral.C.Positive.D.Ambiguous.

13.You can't always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella.But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn't think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet.That's why he created Lampbrella,a lamp post with its own rain-sensing umbrella.
The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia."Once,I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up,people trying to hide from the rain.I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy (伞篷) built into a street lamp,"he said.
The Lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy.It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand.Sensors (传感器) then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.
In addition to the rain sensor,there's also a 360° motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone is using the Lampbrella.After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.
According to the designer,the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed,so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians.Besides,it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike.Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people.Being installed (安装) at 2meters off the ground,it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.
While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production,Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department,and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.
51.For what purpose did Belyaev create the LampbrellaA?
A.To protect people from the rain.
B.To check the weather forecast.
C.To predict a heavy rain.
D.To remind people to take an umbrella.
52.What do we know from Belyaev's words in Paragraph 2B?
A.It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.
B.His creation was inspired by an experience.
C.Street lamps are protected by canopies.
D.He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.
53.Which of the following shows how the Lampbrella worksC?
A.motor→canopy→sensors
B.motor→sensors→canopy
C.sensors→motor→canopy
D.canopy→motor→sensors
54.Paragraph 5mainly tells us aboutC of the Lampbrella.
A.its moving speed            B.its appearance
C.its safety                 D.its installation
55.We can infer from the last paragraph thatB.
A.the designer will open a company to promote his product
B.the designer is confident that his creation is practical
C.the Lampbrella could be put into immediate production
D.the Lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.

17.The ancient Egyptians appeared to be among the first early civilizations to learn how to grow roses.In 1888,at Hawara in the El Faiyum area of Egypt,two-thousand-year-old roses were found in ancient tombs.The discovery suggested roses were an important part of the complex burial ceremony which took place when an important person died.The roses found in the tombs are thought by modern experts to be the oldest preserved flowers ever found in the world.They must have been cut and dried before flowering so that they would remain undamaged.Over the centuries,the roses had shrunk and became tight balls,but on careful examination it was discovered that the petals (花瓣) themselves were hardly damaged.
Egypt's skill in mass-cultivation(大面积栽培)of roses in early times led to the flowers becoming an important export product.At the height of the Roman Empire,Egypt exported large quantities of roses to the Roman courts.Wealthy Romans loved the beautiful colors and sweet smells of roses.So the Romans attempted to grow their own roses and they eventually mastered the art of mass cultivation.Egypt then decided to concentrate on growing grain instead of roses,so grain soon took over as the number-one agricultural product of Egypt.
Roses were appreciated in other early civilizations too,including Greece and Persia.They are a decorative feature on coins,sculpture,and vases dating back thousands of years.There is also evidence that roses were highly valued by the Chinese who believed that the flowers could be used to help treat a wide range of illnesses,from toothache to skin and chest diseases.
In the modern world,the rose has not lost its popularity as the"Queen of Flowers"-the name given to it by the Greek poetess Sappho.Even today more roses are sold than any other flower.Modern techniques have enabled people to create ever more beautiful roses.Transportation by air makes it possible to grow roses in countries with favorable climates and sell them within twenty-four hours in profitable markets all over the world.Tons of roses are transported this way every week.Roses from Ecuador,a country in northern South America,can be bought in Holland,even though that country itself has a huge rose-growing business.

36.The roses discovered at Hawara in 1888wereD.
A.buried about four thousand years ago   B.cut after they flowered
C.used to keep the dead body fresh       D.finely preserved
37.Grain replaced roses to become the number-one agricultural product of Egypt becauseC.
A.the Egyptians showed less interest in roses
B.the competition in rose export became fierce
C.the Romans could grow roses for themselves
D.grain was in great demand in the world market
38.Paragraph 3is developed mainlyD.
A.by cause and effect              B.by order in space
C.by order in time                 D.by examples
39.With the example of roses from Ecuador,the author showsB.
A.modern techniques help the cultivation of roses
B.air transport helps the rose trade worldwide
C.roses grown in Ecuador are world-famous
D.roses are sold more than any other flower
40.What would be the best title for the passage?A.
A.Queen of flowers                 B.History of growing roses
C.Big archeological discovery      D.Rose trade around the world.
