19、 the kind of lifeI would have.They considered their choices,including the possibility of givingme up for adoption.But at last,my parents decided it was their responsibility toraise me as best as they could.I soon proved that even without limbs(四 肢)I was athletic and wellcoordinated(协调).I was all tru

20、nk but all baby boy too.I learnt to pull myselfinto a straight position by sticking against a wall and going up it.My mum and dadworked with me for a long time trying to help me master a more comfortable method,but I always insisted on finding my own way.One of the best surprises of my childhood was

21、 the control I had over my littleleft foot.I used it to roll myself around.My parents and doctors felt that thehandy little foot might be of greater use.There were two toes but they were fusedfusedwhen I was born.So they decided to give me an operation to free the toes,whichwould enable me to use th

22、em like fingers to hold a pen.Whenthedoctorsarepreparingmefortheoperation,mymotherkeptemphasizing(强调)to them that they should pay special attention to the possibilityof my body overheating.She knew another child without limbs who overheated duringan operation and was left with brain damage.Unfortuna

23、tely,even though they knewmy mother was a nurse,they didnt take her advice seriously.Despite the successfulseparation of my toes,I had to be put into buckets of ice to bring down thetemperature.After the operation,my quality of life improved a lot from my newlyfreed toes,though they didnt work exact

24、ly as the doctors had hoped.Most of my parents worst fears never became true.Raising me was certainlynot easy,but for all the challenges,we had plenty of laughter and joy.I had anamazingly normal childhood in which I enjoyed playing jokes on my siblings,Aaronand Michelle,just like other big brothers

25、.Life may be kicking you around now.But Im telling you that you cant evenimagine the good that awaits you if you refuse to give up.Stay focused on your dreamand chase it.You have the power to change your situations.41.What does the underlined word“fused”(Para 3)mostprobably mean?A.joined togetherB.b

26、roken in twoC.slightly bentD.seriously injured42.Which of the following about the operation is TRUE?A.My mother helped with the operation as a nurse.B.The operation was quite successful exactly as expected.C.The doctors should have taken my mums suggestions.D.The overheating did some harm to my brai

27、n.43.What message does the passage express?A.Failure is the mother of success.B.Better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.C.Allthingsaredifficultbeforetheyareeasy.D.He who falls today may rise tomorrow.B BIts tough,it hurts and yet more than two million of us in the UK run atleast once a

28、 week.Of course,some people run to lose weight,or to get fit,andthese are great reasons.Running is also easy to do,its cheap,and you can do itwhen you want.All these factors certainly contribute to the fact that running isone of the most popular sports in the UK.But for many of those two million run

29、ners,the real reason we head out to poundthe roads until our legs hurt is more intangible(无形的)than weight loss or fitness.Many runners become interested in times.They try to break the 40-minute barrierfor the 10K,or run under four hours for the marathon.Yet,really,these times arealmost meaningless.A

30、nd as soon as they are achieved,another target is thrown outalmost immediately.The times are only the carrots we put in front of ourselves.But why do we putthem there in the first place?Nobody ever gives a wise answer.Deep down,we allknow the answer.Running brings us joy.Watch small children when th

31、ey are excited,at play,andmostly they cant stop running.Theres a great moment inThe Catcher in the Ryewhen Holden Caulfield,caught in the uneasy space between childhood and adulthood,is walking across his school grounds one evening and he suddenly starts to run.Idont even know what I was running for

32、 I guess I just felt like it,he says.This will to run is born.In fact,humans may well have evolved the way we didbecause of our ability to run.As children,and even adolescents,we can respondto this natural call to run whenever the feeling takes us.As we run,we begin to sense that childish joy,which

33、is born to live a wilderexistence.As we run,the layers of responsibility and identity we have gatheredin our lives,the father,mother,lawyer,teacher,all fall away,leaving us withthe raw human being.If we push on,running harder,deeper into the loneliness,further away fromthe world and the structure of

34、 our lives,we begin to feel strangely excited,separated yet at the same time connected,to ourselves.With nothing but our owntwo legs moving us,we begin to get a sense of who,or what,we really are.Aftera long run everything seems right in the world.Everything is at peace.To experiencethis is a powerf

35、ul feeling,strong enough to have us coming back,again and again,for more.44.By saying“The times are only the carrots we put in frontof ourselves”(Paragraph 4),the author means _.A.runners are not able to achieve their goalsB.progress in times is just one simple reason for runningC.records in running

36、 cant be brokenD.nobody knows the reason why people like running45.The purpose of using the example of Holden Caulfield inParagraph 5 is to show that _.A.children enjoy runningB.childhood is joyful.C.children often ran for nothingD.running is a natural behavior of human beings46.The author mentions

37、the reasons for running except _.A.physical fitness and low costB.self challengeC.escape from responsibilityD.joy and peace in mindC CYou dont have to look far to find concerns about how technology will stealour jobs.Its been widely noticed that automation(自动化)is making machines morepowerful and sho

38、rtening the list of current jobs that only a human can do.Over the weekend,I read Martin Fords new book,Rise of the Robots,which looksat how far machines have come.Ford warns of a coming perfect storm in which mankindhas to fight rising inequality,unemployment caused by technology,and climatechange.

39、He says finding a way forward may be the greatest challenge of our time.Yes,robots are coming for our current jobs,and thats an issue.But whatsespecially interesting is the place where Ford says we really need to get some robots health care.Ford gives us the explosion of health-care costs.In 1960,he

40、alth care was lessthan 6 percent of the U.S.economy.That increased three times by 2013.The UnitedStates spends about double what most industrialized countries spend on health care.“The danger,is not too many health care robots but too few,”Ford writes.“Technology has affected other employment areas.

41、It is producing inequality andunemployment,as well as falling incomes for most workers in other industries.Iftechnology cant improve the health-care area,many people will be unable to affordhealth care.Take a global look at this and it becomes more acceptable to welcome the machines,and to accept th

42、at some jobs should disappear.If machines make health care cheaper,then more humans around the world will be able to afford it.The health of humansworldwide would benefit.Besides,weve seen workers turn to other jobs in the past.As Ford says,nearlyhalf of U.S.workers were employed on farms in the lat

43、e 1800s.When those jobsdisappeared,new ones were found.Ford isnt alone in highlighting our difficult situation here.Ve nturecapitalist Marc Andreessen recently touched on it with Fortunes Dan Primack.“Everybody complains,Oh,my God,robots are going to kill all the jobs andthis is going to be terrible

44、 and we need less technology because of that.But thenat the same time everybody complains,Oh,my God,look at the rising cost of healthcare,”Andreessen told Primack.“If you want to bring down the prices of healthcare and education,the answer will be more technology.”47.Too few health care robots will

45、lead to _.A.unaffordable health careB.more people out of workC.income decreasesD.unequal social status48.The example of farms in the late 1800s in Paragraph 7 showsthat _.A.technology can help bring down health care costsB.there is no need to worry about job lossC.American workers could find new job

46、s easilyD.machines will cause workers to lose jobs49.What does the“difficult situation”(Para 8)refer to?A.How to prevent robots stealing jobsB.How to reduce health care costsC.How to apply technology in health careD.How to balance health care costs and employment50.The main purpose of the passage is

47、 to _A.raise some concerns about technologyB.argue against rising health care costsC.declare the importance of introducing robots into health careD.warn people of the dangers of health care robotsDPeople and the sources of air pollution are found in the same places.This meansthat cities with large p

48、opulations have the biggest problem of dirty air.Airpollution is caused by many different things.A major source of air pollution isthe gas fumes from cars.Statistics show that 93 percent of all auto trips are withincities.Another major source of dirty is the burning of coal and oil for energy.This e

49、nergy is needed to make electricity.Of course,much more electricity is usedin the city than in the country.On the average,we throw away more trash and garbage than the year before.Theburning of garbage contributes to air pollution.Many major industries are alsoresponsible for the dirty air in the ar

50、ound cities.The fumes from iron,steel,chemical,and petroleum production add particles to the air.The effects of air pollution range from mild headaches to death.The levelsof pollution found in heavy for traffic may cause headaches for loss of clear vision.Wherever coal and oil are used for fuel,fume
