The first family took a ten-day vacation on Marthas Vineyard, an island off the coast of Massachusetts.Marthas Vineyard is known for the sailing, sunsets and its tall cliffs overlooking the A

18、tlantic Ocean. The island is about 13 kilometers off the coast and is less than 260 square kilometers. Homes designed like those of earlier times line the streets of Edgartown, Oak Bluffs and Vineyard Haven. These are the major towns on Marthas Vineyard.For most of the year, the population of Martha

19、s Vineyard is about 15 000. In summer, more than 100 000 people crowd the island. In addition to the Obamas, you might see some Hollywood stars and other rich and famous people. Many visitors return year after year.During warm weather the Vineyard is a good place for many different activities. Peopl

20、e can play golf or catch fish. They can ride in sailboats or motor boats. They can waterski and swim. They can take quiet walks along sandy beaches and among the thick green trees.One of the popular places for families with children is the Flying Horses Carousel in Oak Bluffs. It is the oldest conti

21、nually operated merry-go-round ride in the United States. The colorful wood horses that turn in a circle were created in 1876. One of the best places for children to swim is the Joseph A. Sylvia state beach. The water there is warmer and calmer. Families also enjoy the Felix Neck Wildlife Sanctuary

22、where they can observe much of the island wildlife.Visitors watch the sunsets sitting on the beach and on rocks in the fishing village of Menemsha. As the sun goes down in the sky it paints yellow, red, and other colors on the clouds. Fishing boats rise and fall with the waves. Bells sound to help g

23、uide the boats to land as darkness covers the water.Historians say British mapmaker Bartholomew Gosnold first made a map of the island for the rulers of England in 1602. Gosnold named the island to honor his baby daughter, Martha. The Vineyard part of the name came from the many wild grape vines Gos

24、nold found on the island. Later, King Charles of England gave the island to businessman Thomas Mayhew of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, whose son established the first European settlement on the island in 1642. By the middle of the nineteenth century, ships from the American mainland began bringing v

25、isitors to the island. Big hotels were built near the edge of the water. Marthas Vineyard was on its way to becoming the visitors center that it is today. 51. We can infer that _.A. the BP oil spill has a negative effect on the tourism along the Florida Gulf Coast B. the BP oil spill has contributed

26、 to the tourism along the Florida Gulf Coast C.

28、. his motherB. the king of EnglandC. his daughterD. his fatherBThere is a boy called Bill in my gym class who has unbearably yellow teeth that almost make everyone feel unpleasant. Recently another boy told Bill that he should “go Ajax” his teeth. Bill was crushed. If the other boy had been thinking

29、, he would have realized that there is a better way to handle such a situation. He could have dealt with it with tact. He could have showed this hurtful truth in a more careful, sensitive waythats “tact”. If a person isnt sensitive to anothers feelings, there is no way he or she can be tactful. Yest

30、erday, my 5-year-old brother proudly announced that he had cleaned the screen on our television set. Unfortunately, he used furniture polish, which produced an oily film on the television screen. My mother smiled arid thanked him for his effortsand then showed how to clean the screen properly. Her s

31、ensitivity enables my brother to keep his self-respect. Yet, sensitivity alone does not make tact. “Tactfulness” also requires “truthfulness”. Doctors, for example must be truthful. If a patient has just been disabled in an accident, a tactful doctor will tell the truthbut express it with sensitivit

32、y. The doctor may try to give the patient hope by telling them curing techniques under study or about advanced equipment now available. Doctors must use tact with patients relatives as well. Instead of bluntly saying, “Your husband is disabled,” a doctor might say, “Im sorry, but your husband has lo

33、st feeling in his legs and. . .”Tact should not be confused with trickery. Trickery occurs when a nurse is about to give a patient an injection（注射） and says, “This wont hurt a bit. ” Instead of trickery, the nurse might guarantee the patient that the discomfort of the injection is a small thing comp

34、ared to the benefits of it. It would also be thoughtful for the nurse to tell the patients about some of these benefits. Tact is a wonderful skill to have, and tactful people are usually admired and respected. Without tact our society would become an intolerable place to live in. 55. The underlined

35、word “crushed” in the first paragraph probably means . A. surprised B. cheated C. regretful D. painful56. According to the author, his mothers praise for the brother is .A. sensitive and tactful B. sensitive but not tactful enoughC. truthful but not tactful enough D. sensitive but trickish57. Which

36、of the following shows the structure of the passage? A B C D（The numbers stand for the paragraphs）CThe crisis(危機(jī)) at Japans Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear(核) energy center caused by the terrible earthquake has raised questions about the future of the nuclear energy industry. Arjun Makhijani is president

37、 of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research in the United States. He says the disaster(災(zāi)難)in Japan is historic. This week, the chairman of Americas nuclear agency said there is little chance that harmful radiation(輻射) from Japan could reach the United States. Gregory also said America ha

38、s a strong program in place to deal with earthquake threats. No new nuclear power centers have been built in the United States since nineteen seventy-nine. That was when Americas worst nuclear accident happened at the Three Mile Island center in Pennsylvania. The accident began to turn public opinio

39、n against nuclear energy. At present, about twenty percent of electricity in the United States comes from nuclear energy.German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Germany would close seven nuclear power centers while energy policy is reconsidered. The European Union is planning to test all centers in its

40、 twenty-seven member nations. Developing nations are less willing to slow nuclear expansion. China said it will continue with plans to build about twenty-five new nuclear reactors（反應(yīng)堆）. And India, under a cooperation agreement with the United States, plans to spend billions on new centers in the com

41、ing years. Nuclear reactors supply fourteen percent of global electricity. Nuclear energy is a clean resource, producing no carbon gases. But radioactive waste is a serious unresolved issue. So is the presence of nuclear power centers in earthquake areas like the one near Bushehr, Iran. 58. We can l

42、earn from the text that America . A. experienced a terrible nuclear accident 32 years agoB. has a strong program to deal with radiation dangerC. depends heavily on nuclear energy to produce electricityD. will check all the reactors before cooperating with India59. According to the text, which countr

43、y will be most likely to have a similar disaster? A. German. B. Iran. C. India. D. China. 60. How does the author seem to feel about the future of nuclear energy?A. Satisfied. B. Pleased. C. Wordless. D. Surprised. 61. The best title of the text is . A. Various Opinions on Japans Nuclear Disaster B.

44、 Japans Disaster is Likely to Run out of Control C. America Feels Great Concern for Japans Nuclear CrisisD. Japans Disaster Throws Doubt on Nuclear Energy IndustryDIn a few years, you might be able to speak Chinese, Korean, Japanese, French, and English and all at the same time. This sounds incredib

45、le, but Alex Waibel, a computer science professor at USs Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and Germanys University of Karlsruhe, announced last week that it may soon be reality. He and his team have invented software and hardware that could make it far easier for people who speak different languages

46、to understand each other.One application, called Lecture Translation, can easily translate a speech from one language into another. Current translation technologies typically limit speakers to certain topics or a limited vocabulary. Users also have to be trained how to use the programme.Another prot

47、otype(雛形機(jī)) can send translations of a speech to different listeners depending on what language they speak. “It is like having a simultaneous translator right next to you but without disturbing the person next to you,” Waibel said.Prefer to read? So-called Translation Glasses transcribe(轉(zhuǎn)錄) the trans

48、lations on a tiny liquid-crystal(液晶) display(LCD) screen.Then theres the Muscle Translator. Electrodes capture the electrical signals from facial muscle movements made naturally when a person is mouthing words. The signals are then translated into speech. The electrodes could be replaced with wirele

49、ss chips implanted in a persons face, according to researchers.During a demonstration held last Thursday in CMUs Pittsburgh campus, a Chinese student named Stan Jou had 11 tiny electrodes attached to the muscles of his cheeks, neck and throat. Then he mouthed without speaking aloud a few words in Ma

50、ndarin(普通話) to the audience. A few seconds later, the phrase was displayed on a computer screen and spoken out by the computer in English and Spanish: “Let me introduce our new prototype.”This particular gadget(器械),when fully developed, might allow anyone to speak in any number of languages or, as W

51、aibel put it, “to switch your mouth to a foreign language”. “The idea behind the universitys prototypes is to create good enough bridges for cross-cultural exchanges that are becoming more common in the world,” Waibel said.With spontaneous(自發(fā)的) translators, foreign drivers in Germany could listen to

52、 traffic warnings on the radio, tourists in China could read all the signs and talk with local people, and leaders of different countries could have secret talks without any interpreters there.62. Which of the following statements is not TRUE?A. A lecture translation can translate what you said into

53、 other languages easily.B. There is no Muscle Translator in the world now.C. Muscle Translators can translate what you think into speech if you just move your mouth.D. The spontaneous translators will help us a lot.63. What kind of equipment is NOT mentioned in this passage?A. Lecture Translation. B

54、. Muscle Translator.C. Multiple Translator. D. Translation Prototype.64. Whats the final destination of inventing the language translators?A. To make cultural exchanges between different countries easier.B. To help students learn foreign languages more easily.C. To make people live in foreign countr

55、ies more comfortably.D. To help people learn more foreign languages in the future.65. What can be inferred from the seventh paragraph?A. The translator is so good that it can translate any language into the very language you need.B. The translator is becoming more and more common in the world as a bridge.C. With the help of the translator, you only need to open your mouth when you want to say something without saying the exact words at all.D. The translator needs to be improved before being put into market.66. Where can this passage probably be excerpted from?A.
