25、re.D.To transport students to and from the stores.B A world-famous Canadian author,Margaret Atwood,has created the worlds first long-distance signing device(装置),the LongPen.After many tiring booking-signing tours from city to city,Atwood thought there must be a better way to do them.She hired some t

26、echnical experts and started her own company in 2004.Together they designed the LongPen.Heres 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 a

27、uthor and fan can talk with each other via webcams(网络摄像机)and computer screens.Work on the LongPen began in Atwoods 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 in

28、venting finally completed,test runs were made in Ottawa,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 in Toronto and New York City.The LongPen produces a unique signature each time because i

29、t 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.“

30、Its really fun,”said the owner of a bookstore,who was present for one of the test runs.“Obviously you cant shake hands with the author but there are chances for a connection that you 6 dont get from a regular book signing.”The response to the invention hasnt been all favorable.Atwood has received cr

31、iticism 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 couldnt afford it.”【D】41.Why did Atwood decide to invent the LongPen?A.To set up her own company.B.To win herself greater populari

34、 used in the future?A.To draft legal documents.B.To improve credit card security.C.To keep a record of the authors ideas.D.To allow author and fan to exchange videos.【A】45.What could be inferred from Paragraphs 5 and 6?A.Atwood doesnt mean to end book tours.B.Critics think the LongPen is of little u

35、se.C.Bookstore owners dont support the LongPen.D.Publishers dislike the LongPen for its high cost.C“Dad,”I say one day,“lets take a trip.Why dont you fly and meet me?”My father had just retired after 27 years as a manager for IBM.His job filled his day,his thought,his life.While he woke up and took

36、a warm shower,I screamed under a freezing waterfall 7 in Peru.While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch,I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks.My father sees me drifting aimlessly,nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps.He wants me to settle down,but now I wan

37、t him to find an adventure.He agrees to travel with me through the national parks.We meet four weeks later in Rapid City.“Whats our first stop?”asks my father.“What time is it?”“Still dont have a watch?”Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore.As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite

38、(花岗岩),his mouth and eyes open slowly,like those of a little boy.“Unbelievable,”he says.“How was this done?”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 l

39、ife to anything?No directions,no goals.I always used to hear those words in my fathers voice.Now I hear them in my own.The next day were at Yellowstone National Park,where we have a picnic.“Did you ever travel with your dad?”I ask.“Only once,”he says.“I never spoke much with my father.We loved each

40、other but never said it.Whatever he could give me,he gave.”The last sentenceits probably the same thing Id say about my father.And what Id want my child to say about me.In Glacier National Park,my father says,“Ive never seen water so blue.”I have,in several places of the world.I can keep traveling,I

41、 realizeand maybe a regular job wont be as dull as I feared.Weeks after our trip,I call my father.“The photos from the trip are wonderful,”he says.“Weve got to take another trip like that sometime.”I tell him Ive decided to settle down,and Im wearing a watch.【C】46.We can learn from Paragraphs 2 and

45、the best title for the passage?A.Love Nature,Love Life B.A Son Lost in Adventure C.A Journey with Dad D.The Art of Travel D People arent walking any moreif 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

46、a matter of 281 steps.But I used the car.And I wasnt in any hurry,either.I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness:motorosis.It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune(免疫的),for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs.At that time,we regarded 25 m

47、iles as a good days 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 Statue of Liberty.Such en

48、terprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart.But a well-known British physician,Sir Adolphe Abrahams,pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercise.A person who avoids exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who 9 exercises regularly.And

49、walking is an ideal form of exercise the most familiar and natural of all.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 w

50、orld.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 dont 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 thi
