19.Last spring my husband,Lawrence,and I agreed that it was time for us to move.Although we adoredour home in the northern district of New York,all our children and grandchildren had moved to the West Coast.We needed to be near them.
     But We didn't want to sell our house to just any buyer.We had three requirements in mind.The first was to find someone who loved our place as much as we did-after all,We'd lived there for more than thirty years.The second was to find a buyer who would share our faith and not bargain with us over the price of me home.And lastly,since moving rates dropped in the fall,we didn't want to move until mid-October.
    In this market I found out there was little hope that We'd sell our place,let alone find that perfect buyer,but still,I hoped for all three things.Weeks went by with no takers.Finally our real estate(房地产)agent phoned in August."I've found someone who's indeed in love with your house.She's made a good offer."He brought over some papers to sign and I made a note of the woman's name.
     Days later I was looking up a friend's phone number in our church directory(电话薄),running my finger down the long list of members.Suddenly I came across her name.Our buyer!"She loves our home and she's even a member of our church,"I said to Lawrence."This could be perfect."
     I practically held my breath for the next few days,the calls going back and forth to our agent.Finally he came by with the papers to sign.Pen in hand,he hesitated.
"This buyer has just one more requirement,"he said.
    Oh,may no change happen,I thought."What is it?"
"She can't own the house until mid-October."
"Mid-October?Perfect."Those words sealed the deal.

7.They survive in some of the coldest environments in the world-but even penguins(企鹅) appreciate a warm woolly jumper(套头毛衣)once in a while.
The mini knitted garments have helped save hundreds of flightless birds caught in oil spills,providing protection from the elements and stopping them from eating poisonous pollution.
Knits tor Nature,a program run by The Penguin Foundation,which protects the little penguin population of Phillip Island,140km south-east of Melbourne,has created up to 300different designs over the years-and it's all thanks to talented volunteers.
"There's a lot of hidden creativity out there,"said Lyn Blom,of the Phillip Island Nature Park."People love to know that they're helping the penguins because they're so cute and small and they waddle up the beach and they're so strong and determined.But they need to be,they 1ive in a pretty tough sort of environment.''
A thumbnail-sized patch of oil can kill a little penguin,the smallest of the species,measuring just l3inches and weighing l kg.The oil separates and mats their feathers,breaking natural waterproofing and heating functions.
Ms Blom estimates she has knitted between 200and 300penguin jumpers over the years.
A staff member read an article in an English women's magazine about knitting for guillemot(海鸠)birds and decided to adapt the designs.
"There's a lot of ladies out there who used to knit for their children and grandchildren.These ladies have spare wool and idle hands,and they love to feel loved and needed and we love and need them,"said Ms Blom.
The Pengu in Foundation recently staged a competition for the most creative jumper,which received an enthusiastic response.
The Penguin Foundation rescues approximately 20birds a year.They even have a stockpile of jumpers in case of emergency-such as the large oil spill Phillip Island in 2001.In that instance,453little penguins were affected,96percent of which were saved-most thanks to the jumpers.

46.Which is the best title for the text?A
A.The penguins'new garments       B.How to protect the penguins
C.The Penguin Foundation           D.Poisonous oil pollution

A.they survive in the coldest environments
B.they live in a rather tough environment
C.they're so lovely and smart
D.they're so strong and determined
49.Why can a patch of oil kill little penguins?A
A.The oil ruins their feather's natural functions.
B.Little penguins are too small to survive.
C.The oil benefits their natural waterproofing.
D.Little penguins have no heating functions.
50.What can we learn from the text?D
A.Only Ms Blom was glad to knit penguin jumpers.
B.It's Ms Blom that created the penguin jumper designs.
C.Few people competed for the most creative jumper.
D.The jumpers have proved effective for penguins.

14.The biggest danger facing airlines nowadays may not be a terrorist with a gun,but the man with portable computer in business class.In the last 16 years,pilots have reported well  over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic interference  (电磁干扰).The source of this interference remains not proved,but increasingly,experts are pointing the  blame at portable electronic devices such as portable computers,radio and cassette players  and mobile telephones.
      RTC.A.an organization which advises the aviation  (航空 )industry,has suggested that all  airlines ban such devices from being used during"critical"stages of flight  particularly take-off and landing.Some experts have gone further,calling for a total ban during all flights.Cur-rently,rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines.And although some air-lines prevent passengers from using such equipment during take-off and landing,most are un-willing to carry out a total ban,given that many passengers want to work during flight.
     The difficulty is predicting how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircraft's computers.Experts know that portable devices send out radiation which affects those wavelengths which aircraft use for navigation and communication.But,because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a laboratory.they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerous or not.
     The fact that aircraft may be fragile to interference raises the risk that terrorists may use radio systems in order to damage navigation equipment.As worrying,though,is the passenger who can't hear the instructions to turn off his radio because the music's too loud.
25.What is said about the over 100 aircraft incidents in the past 16 years?D
A.They may have been caused by the damage to-the radio systems.
B.They may have taken place during take-off and landing.
C.They were proved to have been caused by the passengers portable computers.
D.They were suspected to have resulted from electromagnetic interference.
26.Why is it difficult to predict the possible effects of electromagnetic fields on an airplane's computers?C
A.Because it is extremely dangerous to conduct such research on an airplane.
B.Because it remains a mystery what wavelengths are liable to be interfered with.
C.Because research scientists have not been able to produce the same effects in labs.
D.Because experts lack adequate equipment to do such research.
27.Few airlines want to perform a total ban on their passengers using electronic devices becauseB
A.they don't believe there is such a danger as radio interference
B.the harmful effect of electromagnetic interference is yet to be proved
C.most passengers refused to take a plane,which bans the use of radio and cassette players
D.they have other effective safety measures to fall back on
28.The passage is mainly aboutC.
A.a new rule for all airlines
B.the disadvantages of electronic devices
C.a possible cause of aircraft incidents
D.effective safety measures for air flight.

8.The iPon Generation
Today it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go.They move about in their personal bubbles,sometimes unaware of what's happening around them.(71)G Outside life is shut out.So are you one of them"?
For me; walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect.(72)D What's even better,wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says;"I'm not available for chatting at the moment."
Suppose,you're at work and about to make an incredible breakthrough?but a colleague suddenly turns up.At this precise moment,the slightest disturbance would break your concentration.(73)F Once again,those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that"Go away!"signal.
(74)C It's probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole family.While their mothers give them lectures about why they should do their'Yes.Mum.''Problem solved.
Pretty soon,not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our ears-but also our brains will be directly plugged into some new high-tech instrument.We'll be in a virtual (虚拟的) world,communicating with everyone else,or choosing not to,as we like.In this world,we will all be permanently plugged in.(75)A And they are changing our social habits along the way.
In the end,there is a thin line between using technology as a tool for making life better and being a slave to it!It's so strange-suddenly,I don't feel like wearing my earphones anymore.

A.Our instruments are changing quickly.
B.I also have wires hanging from my ears.
C.In the home situation,teenagers love these wires.
D.I don't have to deal with the noise from the environment.
E.After all,I am listening to my favourite music and would rather not be disturbed.
F.Listening to music through earphones is the perfect way to ignore such interruptions.

9.At age 23,Indian entrepreneur Srikanth Bolla is the CEO of a company valued at INR 50crore (over﹩7.5million).Today,he considers himself the luckiest man in the world,not for his success,but for having supportive parents who always stood by him.
When Srikanth was born blind,several of his parents'friends and relatives advised them to abandon him.That would indeed have been the easier thing to do,given the fact that they were poor and uneducated,earning a mere INR 20,000 (﹩300)a year.But they chose to not only keep the boy,but also raise him in a positive,loving environment."They are the richest people I know,"he often says.
And their excellent parenting has paid off-today,Srikanth is the CEO of Bollant Industries,a Hyderabad-based company that employs   physically challenged staff to manufacture eco-friendly consumer packaging solutions made from leaves and recycled paper.It wasn't an easy ride for Srikanth-he's had to face several challenges all his life,including rejection from his peers at his village school.As he grew older,he started taking on larger challenges.He was rejected despite having scored well in the entrance test,merely because he was blind.But he managed to use his excellent academic records to gain admission into the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,from where he graduated in 2012.He returned to India soon after,and decided to start a company that would employ people who had struggled like himself in life.
Srikanth said,"Compassion(怜悯) is showing somebody the way to live and giving them the opportunity to thrive.Show compassion and make people rich.Include people in your life and remove loneliness,and lastly,do something good; it will come back to you."

24.From Paragraph 1and 2,we learn that Srikanth owes his success to hisA.
A.parents           B.luck       
C.hard work         D.friends and relatives
25.The underlined part in Paragraph 3refers to those whoD.
A.are ambitious
B.are physically well
C.like challenges and physics
D.have some problem in health
26.As Srikanth grew older,heB.

B.faced more rejections and tried to overcome them
C.got a lot of friendly assistance when facing challenges

A.Blind man built company worth millions
B.How parents raised a successful child
C.How compassion makes people rich
D.The whole life of Srikanth Bolla.
