BShe thinks it pays well.CShe finds it a bit boring. DShes not interested in it.24The last paragraph mainly talks about_.Awhy children like Nick NewsBhow Ellerbee understands newsCwhat topics Nick News coversDdifferent kinds of news programsBA few years ago I had an “aha！” moment regarding handwriting.I had in my hand a sheet of paper with handwritten instructions on it for some sort of editorial task.It occurred at first that I did not recognise the handwriting，and then I realised whose it must be.I finally became aware of the fact that I had been working with this colleague for at least a year，maybe two，and yet I did not recognise her handwriting at that point.It was a very important event in the computerisation of lifea sign that the informal.Friendly communication of people working together in an office had changed from notes in pen to instant messages and emails.There was a time when our workdays were filled with little letters，and we recognised one anothers handwriting the way we knew voices or faces.As a child visiting my fathers office，I was pleased to recognise，in little notes on the desks of his staff，the same handwriting I would see at home in the notes he would leave on the fridgeexcept that those notes were signed “dad” instead of “RFW”All this has been on my mind because of the talk about The Rise and Fall of Handwriting，a book by Florey.Sire shows in her book a deep concern about the fall of handwriting and the failure of schools to teach children to write well，but many others argue that people in a digital age cant be expected to learn to hold a pen.I dont buy it.I dont want to see anyone cut off from the expressive，personal associations that a pen still promotes better than a digital keyboard does.For many a biographer，part of really getting to know their subjects is learning to read their handwriting.What some people advocate is teaching one of the many attractive handwritings based on the handwriting of 16thcentury Italy.That may sound impossibly grandas if they want kids to learn to draw by copying classical paintings.However，they have worked in many school systems.25Why was the author surprised at not recognising his colleagues handwriting?AHe had worked with his colleague long enough.BHis colleagues handwriting was so beautiful.CHis colleagues handwriting was so terrible.DHe still had a lot of work to do.26People working together in an office used to _.Atalk more about handwritingBtake more notes on workdaysCknow better one anothers handwritingDcommunicate better with one another27According to the author，handwritten notes _.Aare harder to teach in schoolsBattract more attentionCare used only between friendsDcarry more messageCCaptain Henry，a 98yearold American retired fisherman，has become a firsttime author，having written and published his autobiography In a Fishermans Language after learning to read at the age of 91.Mr Henry spent most of his life without even his closest family members knowing he was illiterate(不識字的)Forced to quit school in the third grade to take odd jobs，he kept the secret close to his chest，only telling his late wife.Henrys granddaughter，Marlisa，told reporters how he used tricks，like waiting for others to order at restaurants first，to avoid the issue.A family dispute in his nineties，she said，aroused his desire for education.“He signed a document he could not read about where he was going to live，”Marlisa said.Starting with his name，he eventually moved on to the ABCs and childrens books.He put them down since his wife fell ill.After the tragic loss of his wife，he went back to reading and began to log his life.He wrote about his familys voyage from Portugal to the US，how he went on to captain a boat，and his many journeys at sea.His life stories have become so popular that nearly 800 copies were sold in the first two weeks after the books release.One thousand more have since been printed as requests for the book flood in as far as Germany.And now even Hollywood producers have approached Mr Henry about buying the rights to his life story for a big screen adaptation.The family also now has a book agent and a deal in the works to publish a second edition.Meanwhile，the family says they are reconnecting and closer than ever as a result of Henrys latelife efforts.“Everyone has a story，”Marlisa said.“It teaches that when youre down and out，never give up.”28When did Henry begin writing his life story?AWhen he was 91 years old. BAfter his wife passed away.CWhen he was 98 years old. DAfter he retired from work.29Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?AHollywood wishes to make a movie out of Henrys book.BHenry never told anyone that he couldnt read or write.CHenry began his reading with some famous novels.DHenrys book was wellreceived only by Americans.30How did Henrys family benefit from his writing?AThe family got more money from the 2nd edition.BThe family ties were rebuilt and strengthened.CHis family moved from Portugal to the USA.DHis family story has been made into a movie.31What message can Henrys story give us?AGreat minds think alike.BEvery coin has two sides.CPractice makes perfect.DOne is never too old to learn.D“Get your hands off me.I have been stolen，” the laptop，a portable computer，shouted.That is a new solution to laptop computer theft：a program that lets owners give their property a voice when it has been taken.The program allows users to display alerts on the missing computers screen and even to set a spoken message.Tracking software for stolen laptops has been on the market for some time，but this is thought to be the first that allows owners to_give_the_thief_a_piece_of_their_mind.Owners must report their laptop missing by visiting a website，which sends a message to the model：a red and yellow “l(fā)ost or stolen” sign appears on its screen when it is started.Under the latest version(版本)of the software，users can also send a spoken message.The message can be set to reappear every 30 seconds，no matter how many times the thief closes it.“ One customer sent a message saying，You are being tracked.I am right at your door，” said Carrie Hafeman，chief executive of the company which produces the program，Retriever.In the latest version，people can add a spoken message.For example，the laptops speakers will say：“Help，this laptop is reported lost or stolen.If you are not my owner，report me now.”The Retriever software package，which costs $29.95 but has a free trial period，has the functions of many security software programs.Owners can remotely switch to an alternative password if they fear that the thief has also got hold of the access details.If a thief accesses the Internet with the stolen laptop，Retriever will collect information on the Internet service provider in use，so that the police can be alerted to its location.Thousands of laptops are stolen every year from homes and offices，but with the use of laptops increasing，the number stolen while their owners are out and about has been rising sharply.Other security software allows users to erase data remotely or lock down the computer.32The expression “to give the thief a piece of their mind”can be understood as “_”Ato give the thief an alert mindBto express the owners anger to the thiefCto remind the thief of this conscienceDto make the thief give up his mind33Different from other security software，Retriever can _.Arecord the stealing processBhelp recognize the lost laptopClock down the computer remotelyDsend a spoken message34One of the program is that it allows the owner to _ at a distance.Achange some access details for switching on the laptopBturn on the laptop by using the original passwordCoperate the laptop by means of and alternative passwordDerase the information kept in the stolen laptop35Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of the passage?AWith no Retriever，thousands of laptops are stolen every year.BA new soft ware provides a means to reduce laptop theft.CRetriever has helped to find thieves and lost computers.DA new program offers a communication platform with the thief.第二節(jié)(共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。Tips to Make Reading Fun for Your ChildDid you know that simply reading to your child is one of the best things you can do for his or her education？Its much more valuable than just as a bedtime sleep inducer(引誘)！36._ Here are some tips to get the most out of your reading time.(1)Read every day，even if you only have a few minutes.This models that daily reading is an important part of each day.Children also love a pleasant routine.37._(2)Create a cozy place to read together.It can be a special chair，or even a pile of pillows.(3)38._ This will help you keep the childs interest，and it makes him feel important.Visiting a library regularly makes choosing books easy and fun.(4)Change your voice to go with the characters and the action
