father was extremely tightfisted towards us children. his attitude didnt soften as i grew into adulthood and went to college. i had to ride the bus whenever i came home. though the bus stopped about two miles from home, dad never met me, even in severe weather. if igrumbled,hed say in his loudest father-voice, “thats what your legs are for!” the walk didnt bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. i also felt less than valued that my father didnt seem concerned about my safety. but that feeling was canceled one spring evening. it had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. i longed for home. when the bus reached the stop, i stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home. a row of hedge（樹籬）edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. once i had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, i always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that i was almost home. on that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when i saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. upon closer observation, i realized it was the top of my fathers head. then i knew, each time id come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew i had arrived safely. i swallowed hard against the tears. he did care, after all. on later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. i could hardly wait until i was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. upon reaching home, i would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. “so! my son, its you!” hed say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise. i replied, “yes, dad, its me. im home.”25. what does the underlined word “grumbled” in paragraph 1 probably mean? a. spoke unhappilyb. accepted happily. c. explained clearly.d. agreed willingly.26. according to the passage, _.a. the author thought nothing of walking home

was old enough to walk alone.28. which of the following can be the best title for the text? a. my college life.b. my fathers secret. c. terrible journey home. d. riding bus alone.c as internet users become more dependent on the internet to store information, are people remembering less? if you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? experts are wondering if the internet is changing what we remember and how.in a recent study, professor betsy sparrow conducted some experiments. she and her research team wanted to know how the internet is changing memory. in the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. the first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. the second group understood that the computer would not save it. later, the second group remembered the information better. people in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.in another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the internet. the information was in a specific computer folder (文件夾). surprisingly, people later remember the folder location (位置) better than the facts. when people use the internet, they do not remember the information. rather, they remember how to find it. this is called transactive memory (交互記憶)according to sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the internet. instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. this doesnt mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.29. what can we learn about the first experiment?a. sparrows team typed the information into a computer. b. the first group didnt know where the information is.c. the second group had a better memory of the information.d. the two groups remembered the information equally well.30. in transactive memory, people _.a. bear huge quantities of information in mind. b. learn how to organize small amounts of information.c. organize huge quantities of information like a computer.d. know how to access huge amounts of information later. 31. what is the effect of the internet according to sparrows research? a. we are becoming more intelligent. b. we have poorer memories than before.c. we are using memory differently. d. we need a better way to access information.d americas businesses are getting older and fatter, while many new businesses are dying in infancy.a study last month by the brookings institution found that the proportion of older firms has grown steadily over several decades, while the survival rate of new companies has fallen. in addition, young people are starting companies at a sharply lower rate than in the past.a new report from the national association of manufacturers shows a major cause: the cost of obeying government regulations has risen to more than $2 trillion (12.26 trillion yuan) annually, or 12 percent of the gdp, and this cost falls disproportionately on smaller, newer businesses.its risky, difficult and expensive to start a business, and getting more so. governments are imposing various new rules on a seemingly daily basis: health insurance, minimum wage increases and, most recently in california, compulsory paid sick days for even hourly employees. these regulations shift huge social welfare costs directly onto often-struggling small businesses, while being proportionally much less costly for larger companies.this is partly an unintended issue of resourcesestablished companies can cope with new costs more easilybut its also deliberate. for instance, big insurance companies got a seat at the table to help write obamacare, but less politically powerful firmslike medical device manufacturersgot squeezed.mature, successful corporations can employ ex-lawmakers with connections, distribute campaign contributions and even write regulations for themselves. they are also more likely to want to protect steady revenue streams than revolutionize their industry.major companies that have been so ill-managed they would otherwise collapseairlines, car companies and banksstagger（蹣跚）on because politicians ride to the rescue with bags of taxpayer money.the genius of our unique system of government is the determination to protect and defend the rights of the individual over the rights of the nation. as such, the rise of a well-connected oligarchy（寡頭政治）that protects big business at the expense of small business, and the established over the new, is opposite to american ideals.income inequalitywhich is directly caused by faulty government policyis being promoted as the reason to impose more of that bad policy. but lets be perfectly clear, we do not have a free market but one where government picks winners and losers through regulations and financial aids.politics is, and always has been, about balancing competing interests seeking to benefit themselves, and thats as it should be, but the force of government should never be used to reduce competition, kill innovation or support and extend artificial monopolies（壟斷）by harming the consumer, the taxpayer and the economy. policy must breed our new and small businesses or see the as-yet undreamed of innovations that could be our bright future die in infancy.32. we can learn from the passage that _.a. over several decades, new companies have grown steadily.b. mature, successful corporations prefer to maintain their stable incomes.c. less politically powerful firms also have their voice in making regulations.d. the cost of obeying government regulations falls equally on all businesses.33. we can infer from the last three paragraphs that _.a. the state economy may depend on those innovative businesses.b. the rise of a well-connected oligarchy is contrary to american ideals.c. income inequality is what the government should take action to resolve.d. the government picks winners and losers through the law of free market.34. it can be concluded from the passage that _a. big insurance companies have better relationship with obama.b. most of the ex-lawmakers work in mature, successful corporations.c. larger and older firms have a command of resources of various aspects.d. politicians like providing financial aids to the companies of worse operation.35. as to the development of smaller businesses, the writer is _a. contented. b. confident. c. convinced. d. concerned.第二節(jié)
