choice, but you could always make the best out of the situation, with passion
and a 28 attitude.

A world-famous
Canadian author, Margaret Atwood, has created the world’s
first long-distance signing device(装置), the LongPen.www-2-1-cnjy-com
After many tiring……from
city to city, Atwood thought there must be a better way to do them . She hired
some technical experts and started her own company in 2004. Together they
designed the LongPen. Here’s how it works: The author writes a personal message
and signature on a computer tablet(手写板) using a special pen. On the receiving end, in another city, a
robotic arm fitted with a regular pen signs the book. The author and fan can
talk with each other via webcams(网络摄像机) and computer screens。
Work on the LongPen began in Atwood’s basement(地下室). At first, they had no idea it would be as hard as it turned out
to be. The device went through several versions, including one that actually
had smoke coming out of it. The investing finally completed, teat runs w ere
made inOttawa,
and the LongPen was officially launched at the 2006 London Book Fair. From here
, Atwood conducted two transatlantic book signings of her latest book for fans
inTorontoandNew York City. 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
The LongPen
produces a unique signature each time because it copies the
movement of the author in real time. It has several other potential
applications. It could increase credit card security and allow people to sign
contracts from another province. The video exchange between signer and receiver
can be recorded on DVD for proof when legal documents are used.
“It’s really fun”, said the owner of a bookstore, who was present for one
of the test runs. “Obviously you can’t shake hands with the author but there
are chances for a connection that you don’t get from a regular book signing. 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
The response to the invention has not been all favorable. Atwood has received
criticism from authors who think she is trying to end book tours. But she said,
“It will be possible to go to places that you never got sent to before because
the publishers couldn’t afford it.”
41. Why did
Atwood decide to invent the LongPen?
A. To set up
her own company B.
To win herself greater popularity
C. To write her
books in a new way C.
To make book signings less tiring
42. How does
the LongPen work?
A. I copies the
author’s signature and prints it on a book.【来源:21·世纪·教育·网】
B. It signs a
book while receiving the author’s
signature.
C. The webcam
sends the author’s signature to another city.
D. The fan uses
it to copy the author’s signature himself.
43. What do we
know about the invention of the LongPen?21·世纪*教育网
A. It has been
completed but not put into use. B.
The basement caught fire by accident.
C. Some
versions failed before its test run. D.
The designers were well-prepared for the difficulty.
44. How could
the LongPen be used in the future?
A. To draft
legal documents. B.
To improve credit card security
C. To keep a
record of the author’s ideas. D.
To allow author and fan to exchange videos
45. What could
be inferred from Paragraphs 5 and 6?
A. Atwood doesn’t
mean to end book tours. B.
Critics think the LongPen is of little use
C. Bookstore
owners do not support the LongPen D.
Publishers di进步网slike the
LongPen for its high cost21教育网

“Dad,” I say
one day …..take a trip. Why don’t you fly and meet me?”
My father had
just reired……….. His job filled his day,
his thought, his life. While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed
under a freezing waterfallPeru.
While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch, I rowed a boat acrossLake of the Ozarks.
My father sees
me drfting aimlessly, nothing to show for
my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps. He wants me to settle down,
but now I want him to find an adventure.
He agrees
to travel with me through the national parks. We meet four
weeks later inRapid City.
“ What is our
first stop?” asks my father. 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
“What time is
it?”
“Still don’t
have a watch?”
Less than an
hour away isMount Rushmore.
As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite(), his mouth and eyes
open slowly, like those of little boy.
“Unbelievable,”
he says, “How was this done?” 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
A film in the information
center shows sculptor Gutzon Borglum devoted 14 years to the sculpture and then
left the final touches to his son.
We stare up and
I ask myself, Would I ever devote my life to anything?
No directions,
…… I always used to hear those words in my father’s voice.
Now I hear them in my own.
The next day
we’re atYellowstoneNational Park, where we
have a picnic.
“Did you ever
travel with your dad? I ask. 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
“Only once,” he
says. “ I never spoke much with my father. We loved each
other---but never said it. Whatever he could give me, he gave.”>
The kast sebtebce----it’s probably
the same thing I’s say about my father. And what I’d want my child to say about
me.
InGlacierNational
Park, my father says, “I’ve never seen water so blue.” I have, in several
places of the world, I can keep traveling, I realize--- and maybe a regular job
won’t be as dull as I feared.
Weeks after our
trip, I call my father.
“The photos from
the trip are wonderful,” he says.” We have got to take
another trip like that sometime.
I tell him I’ve learn decided to settle down, and I’m wearing a
watch.

D
People aren’t
walking any more---if they can figure out a way to avoid it.
I felt superior about this matter until
the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel. The journey is a
matter of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I wasn’t in ay hurry, either, I h进步网ad merely become one more victim
of a national sickness: motorosis. 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune(), for I was bred in the
tradition of going to places on my own two legs. At that time, we regarded 25
miles as good day’s walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours
as sign of strength and skill. It did not occur to us that walking was a
hardship. And the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old I raced –and beat—a
teenage football player the 168 steps up the Stature of Liberty.
Such enterprises
today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart. But a
well-known British physician, Sir Adolphe Abrhams, pointed out recently that
hearts and bodies need proper…… is more likely to have illnesses than one who
exercises regularly. And wlaking is an ideal form of exercise--- the most
familiar and natural of all. 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
It was Henry
Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The
man walking can learn the trees, flower,
insects, birds and animals, the significance of seasons, the very feel of
himself as a living creature in a living world, He cannot learn in a car.
The car is a
convenient means of transport, but we have
made it our way of life. Many people don’t dare to approach Nature any more; to
them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat. To them security is a
steel river thundering on a concrete road. And much of their thinking takes
place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.
I say that the
green of forests is the mind’s best light. And none but the
man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.
51. What is the
national sickness? 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
A. Walking too
much B.
Traveling too much
C. Driving cars
too much D.
Climbing stairs too much.
52. What was
life like when the author was young?
A. People
usually went around on foot. B.
people often walked 25 miles a day
C. People used
to climb the Statue of Liberty. D.
people considered a ten-j\hour walk as a hardship.
53. The author
mentions Henry Thoreau to prove that
A. middle-aged
people like getting back to nature B.
walking in nature helps enrich one’s mind
C. people need
regular exercise to keep fit D.
going on foot prevents heart disease
54. What is
compared to “a steel river” in Paragraph6?
A. A queue of cars B. A ray of
traffic light
C. A flash of
lightning D.
A stream of people
55. What is the
author’s intention of writing this

C. To advise
people to do outdoor activities D.
To encourage people to return to walking

Last December,
Doris Low turned 90. Once a week she still drives to the Canadian National
Institute for the Blind (CNIB) in Toronto, where she helps transform literature
into Braille() to bring the power of story and knowledge to the hears and minds
of blind readers. She has been volunteering her time and talents to such
enterprises foe more than 40 years.
After working
in the business world for a while, Low got fed up. So she turned to teaching at
a technical school and later moved into the library.2·1·c·n·j·y来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
Low’s mother liked reading. As her eyes began to fail, low read to her. Then “ hearing an
advertisement encouraging people to learn Braille, I decided to give it a try.”
In 1973, she was certified as a braille transcriber (转译者) and began transcribing books as
a volunteer for the CNIB library.2-1-c-n-j-y
The job was strenuous ---she could get to the end of a page, make a mistake on the last line, and
have to do the whole thing again. For a number of years, low also worked in the
CNIB sound studio reading books onto tape. Three years ago, she took up
proofreading (校对) at the
CNIB’s word factory.21教育名师原创作品
In April, during Volunteer
Week, the CNIB recognized Low for her great contributions. Thanks to volunteers
like Low, the CNIB library has got more than 80,000 accessible materials for
people unable to read traditional print. “ I can’t imagine how many readers of
all ages have benefited from
Doris’s contribution as a skilled volunteer through
her rich voice and her high degree of accuracy in the hundreds of books she has
brailled and proofread over the years--- and she is still doing so,” said a
CNIB official.
“For me,” said
Low, “the CNIB is more than just a place
to volunteer. Three thins matter most in my life: a little play, a little work,
a little love. I’ve found them all here.”
56. What does Low
still do at the age of 90 at the CNIB? ( no more than 10 words)
57. why did Low learn Braille? ( no more
than 15 words)www.21-cn-jy.com
58. what does the underlined word “strenuous” most probably mea进步网n?(1 word)
