2.In this age f cell phnes, text messages and cmputer keybards, ne Scttish schl has returned t basics. It’s teaching children the ignred
art f writing with a funtain pen. There is n clicking f keybards in mst classrms at the Mary Erskine and Stewart’s Melville Junir Schl,
althugh there is a full range f facilities (设施) fr cmputer lessns and technlgy isn’t being ignred. The schl’s headmaster believes the ld-
fashined pens have helped strengthen the academic perfrmance and self-respect f his 1,200 pupils.
“The pens imprve the quality f wrk because they frce the children t take care, and better wrk imprves self-respect”, headmaster Bryan
Lewis said. “Prper handwriting is as relevant tday as it ever has been.” Students as yung as 7 have been instructed t give up their ballpint pens
and begin t deal with the mre artful predecessr. By the time they reach grade five, at age 9, they are expected t write mainly with funtain pens.
Lewis said the schl’s 7- and 8-year-lds use funtain pens fr 80 percent t 90 percent f their wrk, returning t pencils fr such subjects as math.
“I dn’t see funtain pens as ld-fashined r ut f date. Mdern funtain pens are beautiful t use. It’s nt like in the ld days f brken metal
pints and dirtying writing paper,” Lewis said. “We have a particular writing style and we have develped it very carefully and fund a way that allws
left- and right-handed peple t write withut dirtying paper.”
Sme peple argue that handwriting is becming less imprtant because f the grwing use f cell phne text messaging and typing n cmputers,
but the schl disagrees. “We talk f the paperless ffice and the paperless wrld, but this is nt true,” Lewis said. “Yu still need t have prper
handwriting skills.”
【小题1】What can be inferred abut the Scttish schl?

A．It des nt think highly f mdern technlgy.
B．It values funtain pens mre than anything else.
C．It pays special attentin t the use f funtain pens.
D．It takes actin which is cnsidered stupid by many peple.
【小题2】What des the underlined wrd “predecessr” in paragraph 2 refer t?
A．The pencil.
B．The keybard.
C．The ballpint pen.
D．The funtain pen.
【小题3】Which f the fllwing may be the view f the headmaster?
A．Funtain pens have helped t build up students’ self-respect.
B．Using funtain pens may slw dwn students’ speed f writing.
C．Handwriting skills are mre imprtant than typing skills nwadays.
D．Children shuld be required t use funtain pens when they are five.
【小题4】What’s the main idea f this passage?
A．Schls shuld stay away frm tech.
B．Old-fashined funtain pens are cming back.
C．Funtain pens strengthen academic perfrmance.

3.Cartns suit the way we like infrmatin t be presented these days: vividly and in small amunts. We are used t cartns and cmic series that
take a biting lk at mdern life r prvide a bit f escapism. But recently we have seen an increase in the number f cmic bks: bk-length cmics
with a single, cntinuus narrative. Histrically, cmic bks were nt ppular utside France, Belgium, Japan, and the US. The exceptin is the
wrldwide ppularity f a yung reprter-detective frm Belgium, Tintin.
The creatin f the Belgian cartnist Herge, The Adventures f Tintin first appeared in a Belgian newspaper in 1929. Each stry appeared as a
cartn series week by week, but sn after was republished in bk frm. One f the main attractins fr readers was that they were taken t parts f
the wrld they had never seen and prbably never wuld: Russia, Cng, America. Herge himself nly traveled utside Belgium later in life, but his
passin was educating his readers abut ther cultures and places.
Tw things set Herge apart as a cmic nvelist. The first was his technical drawing skills: with just a few simple lines he culd cmmunicate a
particular facial expressin r mvement. The secnd was the careful research he put int his stries. In The Crab with the Glden Claws, Tintin fllws an
pium-smuggling (鸦片走私) ring t Nrth Africa; in King Ottakar’s Scepter, he makes an attempt at a military cup (政变) in a central Eurpean cuntry.
While telling these stries, Herge als made a fine balance between serius tpics and humr.
Tintin had mre than his fair share f adventures, but perhaps the greatest is his jurney t the Mn, tld in Destinatin Mn and Explrers n the
Mn. Written in 1953, sixteen years befre the first Mn landing, the stries shw a remarkable eye fr technical detail and feeling fr the nature f
space travel. In the early 1950s, few culd imagine what it was like t be lking dwn at ur planet frm uter space. And that is Herge’s true gift: t
understand what a place was like withut ever having been there.
【小题1】What can be learned abut cmic bks frm the passage?
A．They mstly invlve detective stries.
B．They present infrmatin in small amunts.
C．They are taking a psitive lk at mdern life.
D．They were ppular utside Belgium histrically.
【小题2】Which f the fllwing was an attractin f The Adventures f Tintin fr readers?
A．The stries were the first cmic nvel published in bk frm.
B．The stries used t be cartn series that appeared week by week.
C．The stries had a gd balance between serius tpics and humr.
D．The stries enabled them t learn abut places they had never been t.
【小题3】Why are The Crab with the Glden Claws and King Ottakar’s Scepter taken fr examples?
A．T shw Herge had a gd sense f humr.
B．T shw Herge liked tuching n serius tpics.

C．T illustrate Herge based stries n research results.
D．T illustrate Herge was expert at technical drawing skills.
【小题4】Which f the fllwing can best describe Herge accrding t the passage?
A．Creative.
C．Serius.
B．Devted.
D．Humrus.
4.Slar panels — als knwn as “phtvltaic” panels — are used t turn sunlight int electricity. Mst slar panels are placed n land in large
cllectins called slar farms. But recently peple have begun t explre putting flating slar panels n water. Because these panels flat, sme peple
call them “flatvltaics”.
The idea isn’t as unusual as it might seem. After all, any slar panel has t be waterprf, since it will be ut in the rain. There are already several
large flatvltaic farms in Asia. On land, s panels are held up by special frames (框架). On the water, flatvltaics are placed n a flating platfrm
attached t the bttm f a lake r reservir (水库). Flating slar panels cst abut 25% mre than thse placed n land.
The researchers behind the new study lked at 145,555 reservirs wrldwide. They used cmputer prgrams t figure ut hw much electricity
culd be prduced yearly by cvering 30% f these reservirs with flating slar panels. The answer was surprisingly large — mre than twice the
amunt f energy the United States generates in a year and 10 times as much energy as all the slar pwer currently being generated in the wrld.
Flatvltaics can als help save water by limiting evapratin (蒸发) frm reservirs. The scientists say that slar panels cvering just 30% f the
reservirs’ surfaces culd save as much water as 300 millin peple wuld use in a year. There are several ther reasns that make flatvltaics a gd
idea. Phtvltaic panels wrk better when they’re nt extremely ht. The water helps cl the panels s that they create mre energy.
Flatvltaics aren’t perfect. Cvering t much f a reservir with panels culd affect the plants and animals in the water. The scientists say it will
be imprtant t study hw flating panels will affect water in each reservir. Fcusing first n man-made reservirs will avid sme f thse prblems.
【小题1】What is the purpse f paragraph 2?
A．T list slar panels’ unusual functins.
B．T intrduce the wrkability f flating slar panels.
C．T shw disadvantages f slar panels n land.
D．T make a cmparisn between different slar panels.
【小题2】Hw did researchers carry ut the new study?
A．By lking at reservirs wrldwide.
B．By building flatvltaic farms in the US.
D．By prcessing data given by specialists.
C．By making cmputer-aided estimates.
【小题3】What d we knw abut flating slar panels?
A．They may cause ptential harm t water ecsystem.
B．They will eventually replace phtvltaic panels.
C．They functin well in extreme ht weather.
D．They are perfect except fr the high cst.
【小题4】What is the suitable title fr the text?
A．Flating Slar Panels — Our Final Chice
B．Flating Slar Panels — Taking Us Back t Water
C．Flating Slar Panels — A New Way t Cl the Planet
D．Flating Slar Panels — Making Energy, Saving Water

Thrughut ur lives, we have encuntered a lt f peple that have influenced us in sme sense. Their effect may be fr ne day r a lifetime.
Often, yu dn’t realize hw much influence smene has made n yu until a particular mment. The man wh made a big influence n me was my

Three mnths after turning furteen, my life was great. I was getting settled int a high schl; my grades were already getting better and I was

One day, when I gt back frm schl, I went t the sitting rm and saw my parents having a cnversatin. They came up t me and asked me t
take a seat, because they wanted t say smething very imprtant. I sn fund ut that my dad’s liver(肝脏) was failing and he needed an immediate
transplant(器官移植). I was surprised and bewildered(不知所措的) because my father lked all right. He wrked, and he didn’t seem ill. My parents said I
shuldn’t be afraid, because it was ging t be all right. Fur mnths had gne by, and my father had yet t get a new liver. It lked as if his bdy was
steadily wrsening, but he kept saying, “Dear, everything will be just fine.”
It was becming difficult fr me and my family. My father had t give up wrk, and my mther was the sle breadwinner(养家糊口的人). I had t bear
the respnsibilities f cleaning up the huse making fd, and lking after my father when my mther was at wrk. I had t limit my time with my
friends, because my father started cming in and ut f the hspital. My cncentratin n the subject was beginning t slip away. S were my grades.
Tw days befre my schl spring break, my mther gt a phne call frm the hspital, saying my father had an accident and was in hspital. What
surprised me was that my father wasn’t injured at all. Then the next day, my mther gt a phne call frm the dctr saying that there was a liver that
