A
Hobbs was an orphan (孤儿). He worked in a factory and every day he got a little money. Hard work made him thin and weak. He wanted to borrow a lot of money to learn to paint pictures, but he did not think he could pay off the debts.
One day a lawyer said to him, “One thousand dollars, and here is the money.” As Hobbs took the package of notes, he was very dumbfounded. He didn’t know where the money came from and how to spend it. He said to himself, “I could go to find a hotel and live like
14
a rich man for a few days; or I give up my work in the factory and do what I’d like to do: painting pictures. I could do that for a few weeks, but what would I do after that? I should have lost my place in the factory and have no money to live on. If it were a little less money, I would buy a new coat, or a radio, or give a dinner to my friends. If it were more, I could give up the work and pay for painting pictures. But it’s too much for one and too little for the other.”
“Here is the reading of your uncle’s will（遗嘱）,” said the lawyer, “telling what is to be done with this money after his death. I must ask you to remember one point. Your uncle has said you must bring me a paper showing exactly what you did with his money, as soon as you have spent it.”
“Yes, I see. I’ll do that,” said the young man. 31. Hobbs wanted to borrow money because _______.
A. He wanted to learn to paint pictures B. He wanted to buy some pictures C. He had to pay off the debts
D. He wanted to go to school
32. What does the underlined word “dumbfounded” (in Paragraph 2）probably mean?
A. excited. B. frightened. C. satisfied. D. surprised.
33. Hobbs was asked to _______.
A. write down what was to be done with the money
B
What are American high schools like? Well, I’m happy to tell you what I know. When I started school here, it had already been a week since the school opened. At this school, freshmen usually go on a trip for about three days at the beginning of school. Unfortunately I missed that wonderful trip, which would have been the best time to get to know my classmates. I was really sad. I wished I’d known about it earlier.
Despite the disappointment, however, I gradually adapted to my new life and school. There is a space in the basement of the teaching building where students chat and meet each other. As we do not always have the same classrooms and classmates, the school wants us to get to know each other there. Students usually come to school early, sit in that space and have fun. Around the space, there are many lockers for students to leave their books in, so that students do not have to carry a heavy schoolbag everywhere.
It really surprises me that we have almost no textbooks. We only have textbooks for
B. write down what he did with the money after spending it C. tell the lawyer what pictures he wanted to buy D. spend all the money given by his uncle
2
World History and Algebra (代数) and they are big and heavy, like bricks. For other classes, we only need binders (活页夹) with paper in them. Without textbooks, students learn things freely and actively. For example, my humanities teacher just teaches us what is in her mind at the time. We never know what we will learn.
Another difference between American schools and Chinese schools is that American schools care about students’ morality more than their academic studies. For example, if you do not finish your homework, you will just be asked to do it later, but if you cheat or lie, you will get a warning or even be kicked out.
I think that most students here are good at schoolwork as well, but compared to Chinese students, they can make learning a more joyful experience. I think we should take the good points from our two different kinds of education to perfect our approach to studying. 34. What was the writer sad for?
A. He was late for school. B. He missed the trip at the beginning of school. C. He didn’t know anyone. D. American students looked down upon him. 35. Why do students go to the basement of the teaching building? A. To attend class. B. To share a classroom. C. To have fun. D. To meet teachers. 36. How do teachers in the US teach the students?
A. However they want to. B. They use bricks.
C. Some use textbooks; some teach freely. D. They always teach as required. 37. According to the passage, in American high schools, ________. A. you are likely to be kicked out if you cheat
B. you’ll be punished if you do not finish your homework C. students are better at school work than Chinese students D. students care much about the grades they get
C
Do you want to make a difference in your community? The Verizon App Challenge can get you started. The first step is to think of a problem in your community. The next step is to create an app that can solve the problem.
Group of five to seven students in middle school or high school, led by a teacher, can enter the contest. First, teams will compete on a local level. Teams that make it to the next round receive $5,000 for their schools. Finalists present their app ideas to judges in a live web conference. Next, the judges pick national winners. The top eight teams receive an additional $15,000 for their schools, and each team member receives a Samsung tablet.
14
Plus, the winning teams get the chance to bring their app to life.
A group of six girls from Los Frenos, Texas won the second annual Verizon App Challenge. They came up with the Hello Navi app concept, short for “hello navigation”. The app was designed to help visually impaired (受损的) students navigate (导航) their school. Do you have an app idea that could help solve a local issue? The deadline to register (登记) is November 24. Find more information and register your team at verizonfoundation.org /appchallenge.
Here are some tips from the Verizon Foundation to get you started:
Get your team together for a brainstorming meeting. Write out all the ideas that come to mind.
Don’t ignore challenges. Accept the idea that you can solve a problem that exists in your community.
Ask family, friends and people in your community to share their thoughts about problems that they want to see solved.
38. If you want to take part in the Verizon App Challenge, you must _______.
A. design a problem-solving app B. bring the app you created to life C. work together with seven classmates D. present convincing views on a local issue

B. It won the second prize in the last Verizon App Challenge. C. It mainly benefited those with poor sense of direction. D. It aimed to help those with poor eyesight.
41. What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage? A. To promote a problem-solving app.
B. To call on more students to enter the contest. C. To share some efficient ways of solving problems. D. To introduce how to contribute to your community.
D
Sometime in the next century, the familiar earlymorning newspaper on the front porch will disappear. And instead of reading your newspaper, it will read to you. You’ll get up and turn on the computer newspaper just like switching on the TV. An electronic voice
2
will read stories about the latest events, guided by a program that selects the type of news you want. You’ll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Want more information on the brief story? A simple touch makes the entire text appear. Save it in your own personal computer file if you like. These are among the predictions from communications experts working on the newspaper of the future. Pictured as part of broader homebased media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers would unite print and broadcast reporting, offering news and analysis (分析) with video of news events. Most of the technology is available now, but convincing more people that they don't need paper to read a newspaper is the next step. Resistance (阻力) to computer newspapers may be stronger from within journalism. Since it is such a cultural change, it may be that the present generation of journalists and publishers will have to die off before the next generation realizes that the newspaper industry is no longer a newspaper industry. Technology is making the end of traditional newspapers unavoidable.
Despite technological advances, it could take decades to replace newsprint with computer screens. It might take 30 to 40 years to complete the changeover because people need to buy computers and because newspapers have established financial interests in the paper industry.
42. The best title of this passage is ________. A. Computer Newspapers Are Well Liked
B. Newspapers of the Future Will Likely Be on Computer C. Newspapers Are out of Fashion D. New Communications Technology
43. It might take 30 to 40 years for computer newspapers to replace traditional newspapers, because ________.
A. it is technologically impossible now B. computer newspapers are too expensive
C. there is strong resistance from the general population and professional journalists D. traditional newspapers are easier to read
44. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of computer newspapers? A. They are cheaper than traditional newspapers. B. They are very convenient to use.
C. You can get more information from them quickly. D. You can easily save information for future use. 45. We can infer from the passage that ________. A. all technological changes are good
14
B. all technologies will eventually replace old ones C. new technologies will eventually replace old ones
D. traditional newspapers are here to stay for another century
