The event was an important one leading up to this years US national election. Here are two excerpts.Part 1 Barack know

2、s the American Dream because hes lived it. and he wants everyone in this country to have that same opportunity, no matter who we are, or where were from, or what we look like, or who we love. And he believes that when youve worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity,

3、you do not slam it shut behind you. You reach back, and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed. When people ask me whether being in the White House has changed my husband, I can honestly say that when it comes to his character, and his convictions (信念), and his heart, Barack O

4、bama is still the same man I fell in love with all those years ago. Hes the same man who started his career by turning down high-paying jobs and instead working in struggling neighborhoods where a steel plant had shut down, fighting to rebuild those communities and get folks back to work. Because fo

5、r Barack, success isnt about how much money you make, its about the difference you make in peoples lives. Hes the same man who, when our girls were first born, would anxiously check their cribs (婴儿床) every few minutes to ensure they were still breathing, proudly showing them off to everyone we knew.

6、 Thats the man who sits down with me and our girls for dinner nearly every night, patiently answering their questions about issues in the news, and strategizing (出谋划策) about middle school friendships. Thats the man I see in those quiet moments late at night, hunched (弯腰驼背) over his desk, poring (仔细阅

7、读) over the letters people have sent him.Part 2 but today, I love my husband even more than I did four years ago, even more than I did 23 years ago, when we first met. I love that hes never forgotten how he started. I love that we can trust Barack to do what he says hes going to do, even when its ha

8、rd especially when its hard. I love that for Barack, there is no such thing as “us” and “them”. He doesnt care whether youre a Democrat (民主党), a Republican (共和党), or none of the above. And I love that even in the toughest moments, when were all sweating it when were worried that the bill wont pass,

9、and it seems like all is lost Barack never lets himself get distracted (分心) by the chatter (喋喋不休) and the noise.56. According to Michelle, which of the following is TRUE about Barack Obama?A. He adopted his values from his family.B. He made a good career choice by working in a steel plant.C. He beli

10、eves that everyone can be successful.D. He hopes those who succeed open the door of opportunity for others.57. Through the speech, Michelle Obama tries to show that her husband _.a. devotes so much to his work that he seldom has family timeb. hasnt been affected by powerc. is ready to act in the int

11、erest of most peopled. is faithful to his promisese. is modest and willing to listenA. abc B. bcd C. acd D. cde58. What might be Michelles main purpose in this speech?A. To help her husband in his re-election.B. To get the American people to know more about Obama.C. To express her love and faith in

12、him.D. To show American dream is still within peoples reach.来源:学科网B IMAGINE if there was a device that could do everything for you wake you up every morning, chat with you and type your e-mails. The piece of technology in question would be smart, able to tell you about the weather and where the near

13、est restaurants are. The good thing is you no longer need to wonder, because something like this already exists. And its name is Siri. Siri is a voice recognition application designed for Apple products and the concept has been around for almost a year. When Siri first came out it could only speak E

14、nglish, but now it has “learned” lots of new languages, including Chinese, Cantonese and Taiwanese, reported The Wall Street Journal. So, you can give it orders in your mother tongue. But how could a cell phone or a computer “hear” what you are saying and understand it? This is all because of voice

15、recognition technology. When you speak, your voice creates vibrations (振动) in the air a bit like waves in the water when you throw a rock into the lake. The microphone receives the vibrations and the computer changes them into digital data that is then divided into many parts. They are analyzed one

16、by one to see what pronunciations each part stands for. The computer then puts these pronunciations together into possible words according to its built-in dictionary. But figuring out the words is far from enough; building words into meaningful sentences is the most difficult part. The computer has

17、to compare what it hears to a large library of known phrases and sentences to determine what the user is saying. However, people dont always talk in the most standard way and sometimes make grammatical mistakes. This is why traditional voice recognition software always requires you to remember keywo

18、rds and to speak in a certain way. Fortunately, Siri isnt like that. Its not just “voice recognition”; its “natural language understanding (NLU)”. You can ask it things like “Do I need an umbrella today?” and it will know that you are asking about the weather, according to ABC News. “The key thing i

19、s NLU understanding what you mean and what you want,” Neil Grant from Nuance, a software company in the US, told The Guardian. “Historically, you had to learn a huge long list of commands . As NLU progresses, you can say what you want in a way thats natural to you.” 59.What is the function of the fi

20、rst two paragraphs?A. To show that invention usually results from need.B. To introduce something that offers these helpful services.C. To clear doubts about voice recognition technology.D. To picture a convenient future life with new technology.60. Which step is the most complicated in the process o

21、f voice recognition according to the article?A. Changing the received vibrations into digital data.B. Analyzing the digital data to see what pronunciations it represents.C. Putting the pronunciations together into possible words.D. Figuring out meaningful sentences based on the words.来源:Zxxk.Com61.

22、How can you get Siri to respond according to the article?A. You have to say things in a certain way.B. You can only speak English and Chinese.C. You can speak in a natural way as you would to a person.D. You have to remember keywords and speak specific commands.62. What can be concluded from the art

23、icle?A. Siri can record and save what you say frequently into a computer dictionary.B. Siri will fail to understand what you say if you make grammatical mistakes.C. The biggest advantage of Siri is that its NLU rather than just voice recognition.D. Since first applied to Apple products a year ago, S

24、iri has made great improvements.CJAPANS “purchase” of the Diaoyu Islands has sparked anger among Chinese people. Protests broke out across the country, sending a strong message to the world: the Diaoyu Islands belong to China. It is necessary that we do not just shout slogans (口号) but can convince o

25、thers with reason. Some historical facts can help explain why the Diaoyu Islands belong to China.Terra nullius Japans claim: “The Senkaku Islands (Japanese name for the Diaoyu Islands) were terra nullius before Japan discovered them.” Fact: In 1884, a Japanese explorer named Tatsushiro Koga landed o

26、n the Diaoyu Islands and claimed that they were “terra nullius”. After receiving Kogas application to exploit (开发) the islands, the Japanese government investigated (调查) and concluded that these islands were already recorded in Chinese documents. It turned down Kogas application. These facts are rec

27、orded in Japan Diplomatic Documents. However, in 1895 Japan decided that they were uninhabited (无人居住的) and illegally controlled the islands. Japan argues that according to international law, territory without an owner may be acquired by a state. But being “uninhabited” doesnt mean the islands had no

28、 owner. The Diaoyu Islands were within Chinas maritime defense sphere (海防范围) as early as the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and have been part of Chinas Taiwan. Chinese fishermen have long conducted activity on these islands and in neighboring waters.Underhand exchange Japans claim: “Under the 1951 Treaty

29、 of San Francisco, the Senkaku Islands came under US trusteeship (托管) and were then returned to Japan in 1971, under the Okinawa Reversion Agreement (归还冲绳协定).” Fact: At the end of the Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895), Japan seized the Diaoyu Islands. It forced the Qing government to sign the Treaty of

30、Shimonoseki (马关条约) and give up “the Taiwan Islands and their affiliated islands”. At the end of World War II, the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation ruled that China recovered Taiwan, the Penghu Islands and other territories Japan had occupied before. The Diaoyu Islands were returned to

31、China according to international law. However, in 1951 Japan and the US, along with other countries, signed the Treaty of San Francisco unilaterally (单方面地), putting the Ryukyu Islands (currently the Okinawa Islands, 冲绳群岛) under US administration. In 1953, the Okinawa Civil Government of the US illeg

32、ally expanded the area of its administration to include the Diaoyu Islands and their affiliated islands. In 1971 in the Okinawa Reversion Agreement, the US unilaterally passed administrative power over the Diaoyu Islands to Japan. China has never recognized it. This underhand exchange of Chinas terr

33、itory between Japan and the US is illegal and invalid (无效的) since China didnt take part in any treatys preparation, making and signing.Actual control Japans claim: “In 1896, the Japanese government leased (租用) part of the Senkaku Islands to Tatsushiro Koga to explore for 30 years for free. In 1918 h

34、is son inherited (继承) it. So Japan has had actual control over the islands.” Fact: The Japanese government “leased” and then “sold” part of them to the Koga family in 1932. After that, the US military base in Okinawa and the Japanese government have been “renting” the islets (小岛) from their “private

35、 owners”. On Sept 11 the government “bought” the islets from current “private owners”. Japan wants to prove that it has had “actual control” over the Diaoyu Islands to eventually occupy them. Yet, the truth is that Japan is “renting”, “selling” and “buying” things that belong to others. All facts pr

36、ove that the Diaoyu Islands are part of China. 63. According to the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation, _.A. Cairo should rule China and its islandsB. Japan should help China recover from the war as soon as possibleC. Japan should return all the Chinese islands it had occupied beforeD. T

37、he Penghu Islands belong to Taiwan64.The underlined word “nullius” probably means _.A. land with no man B. a piece of old land C. land with nothing D. an island with rich resources65.All the following facts can prove that Diaoyu Islands belong to China EXCEPT_.A. The Japanese government turned down

38、Kogas application.B. The Diaoyu Islands came under US trusteeship and were then returned to Japan in 1971.C. Japan is “renting”, “selling” and “buying” Diaoyu Islands that belong to others.D. Chinese fishermen have long conducted activity on Diaoyu Islands.66. Which of the following can best serve a

39、s the title of this passage?A. Fight for Diaoyu Islands against Japan B. Chinese Diaoyu IslandsC. Diaoyu Islands: Debate with facts D. Lets defend Diaoyu IslandsDCHILDREN start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy; theres no need

40、 for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your childrens curiosity. Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling, salary and whether

41、 I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said, “Now that were finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?”After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper (蚱蜢) eat? When I try eating leaves

42、like that, I get a stomachache. Why?”This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours. Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When

43、 adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and creative answers.Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, dont jump in with “Thats right” or “Very good”. These words work well when it comes to encourag

44、ing good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, “Thats interesting” or “Id never thought of it that way before”, or coming up with more questions or ideas.Never push a child to “Think”. It doesnt make sense, chil

45、dren are always thinking, without your telling them to. Whats more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target for your disagreement.Lastly, show; dont tell. Real-life impressions o

46、f nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass(放大镜), and theyll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates (蒸发), set a pot of w

47、ater to boil and let them watch the water level drop.67. According to the passage, children are natural scientists, and to raise their interest, the most important thing for adults to do is_ .A. to let them see the world aroundB. to share the childrens curiosityC. to explain difficult phrases about

48、scienceD. to supply the children with lab equipment68. According to the passage, children can answer questions in a more logical, complete and creative way if adults_ .A. ask them to answer quicklyB. wait for one or two seconds after a questionC. tell them to answer the next dayD. wait at least for three seconds after a question69.
