8.There's always that one student who never speaks.They constantly stare down at the desk or their work,afraid to direct their eyes else.Occasionally,they'll glance your way but only to look back down again.It is clear from their body language that the student is uncomfortable,but there's no way in making him feel at home.The timidity (膽小,羞怯) and the vulnerability(脆弱) in his eyes say all that needs to be said.
Though this student is an extreme example of an introvert(內(nèi)向的人),there are still students like the student mentioned above.I know that one of this kind hide in the shadows of each of the world's classrooms.
In some countries,this little boy may swift through life successful,wealthy,and content with his life.However,the introvert cannot find comfort in America where there are outgoing,socially confident people,talking,shouting,and laughing for the world to hear.
America is a nation of those who peak freely.In fact,one of the most prized clauses of our Constitution is the freedom of speech.There is nothing we love more than the right to speak as we please,so much so that the burning of the American flag is a protected speech.Though it is looked down upon,the person who burnt the flag will not deserve a punishment of any kind.It's legal.
What seems to not be legal,however,is shyness.In a nation full of discussion,those who fear of speaking will not get by.In my high school,for example,teachers often hold Socratic Seminars of class discussion where students are expected to voice their opinions.Stressing the fact that what is said does not have to be correct,teachers encourage students to speak up.Most of the grades in my classes,in fact,rely heavily on participation.
Personally,I dislike public speaking.Class discussion where students mention repeated points over and over again is not my strength,but I must force myself to raise my voice.If I don't,often times there are other people talking for me.
Gradually I realized something else.Speaking stimulates the mind,enhances one's thoughts,and establishes a sense of confidence that wouldn't otherwise have been instigated.It may be uncomfortable and it may be embarrassing,but it's all worthwhile in the end.
Although I stress the importance of social confidence,it is not unheard of to see introverts stand out in various activities.In college,for example,they would be studying rather than spending the day with friends.They would be seen in a library rather than at a social event.Although these types of students lack the outgoing personality,they do not always lack the motivation and desire to succeed.Often times,the introverts will gather to form a friend group.Their happiness is from what brings them pleasure,and if they are content without speaking their mind,so be it.

61.We can learn from the passage is thatA.
A.it is not uncommon that in each of the world's classrooms there is an introvert
B.introverts swift through life successful and stand out in various activities in any country 
C.the writer's grades are not high because he dislikes public speaking  
D.from the writer's point,only when the introverts speak their mind can they succeed and gain happiness
62.What attitude does the writer hold towards introverts?A
A.Positive   
B.Negative  
C.Neutral     
D.Not Clear
63.which of the following words can replace the underlined word----instigated in paragraph 7?B
A.brought about   
B.inspired   
C.withdrawn
D.escaped
64.Which would be the best title for the passage?C
A.Introverts hidden in the shadows
B.Success of introverts
C.Speak for the speechless
D.Spe ak out,the speechless.

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了世上有許多內(nèi)向的人,雖然不愛說話,也有自己的朋友圈,不應(yīng)該被人輕視.

解答 61.A.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段There's always that one student who never speaks.They constantly stare down at the desk or their work,afraid to direct their eyes else可知每個教室都會有一個內(nèi)向的人;故選A.
62.A.推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段Although these types of students lack the outgoing personality,they do not always lack the motivation and desire to succeed.Often times,the introverts will gather to form a friend group可知作者對內(nèi)向的人的態(tài)度是積極的;故選A.
63.B.詞義猜測題.根據(jù)文章Speaking stimulates the mind,enhances one's thoughts,and establishes a sense of confidence that wouldn't otherwise have been instigated,說話能激發(fā)思想,增強思想,建立信心,而這種信心本來就不會被鼓動起來;可知意為鼓舞的;故選B.
64.C.推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段Although these types of students lack the outgoing personality,they do not always lack the motivation and desire to succeed.Often times,the introverts will gather to form a friend group可知這篇文章最好的題目是內(nèi)向的人的語言;故選C.

2.Mind control
Imagine looking at something and being able to move it just by using your brain!That is exactly what the new technology called BrainGate can do---with the help of a robotic arm,anyway.
BrainGate is the idea of Professor John Donoghue and his team of researchers at the Brown Institute for Brain Science,USA.BrainGate is attached directly to the brain.First of all,gold wires are put into the part of the brain that controls movement.These are then connected to a small computer chip(芯片).When the person thinks about different movements,this creates electrical signals,which are picked up by the chip.After this,the signals that are created by the brain are sent back to a computer,which changes the signals into movements.Finally,the computer uses the robotic arm to carry out these movements.BrainGate can already be used to write an e-mail or play computer games,just by brain power.
The technology has already cost millions of dollars to develop and when it is available for use,it will probably cost thousands of dollars per person.There are still many challenges ahead for Donoghue and his team.They are currently planning a mini wireless version,which will allow people to be connected to the
computer at all times.Donoghue also dreams of using this technology to help disabled people who can't move their arms or legs.He plans to connect BrainGate directly to their own paralysed limbs(癱瘓的胳膊或腿).This will mean that the person can control their own body again,without relying on a robotic arm.
This research is attracting the military's(軍方的)attention as well.However,
It is easy to understand why scientists might be concerned about how thought-controlled machines could be used by the military.

32.What does the underlined word"These"in Paragraph 2 refer to?A
A.Wires.
B.Brains.
C.Thoughts.
D.Movements.
33.According to the text,what is one of BrainGate's disadvantages?A
A It is too expensive.
B.It needs improvement.
C.It is difficult to control.
D.It produces few movements.
34.How will Donoghue help disabled people?C
A.By making BrainGate smaller.
B.By developing a wireless version.
C.By attaching BrainGate to their bad limbs.
D.By replacing their limbs with robotic ones.
35.What does the military think of thought-controlled machines?A
A.They could be useful.
B.They could lead to disasters.
C.They would be in mass production.
D.They would face fierce competition.

16.My mother sat in silence,shocked by my guided tour of websites of adventurous families,who bike around the world for charity,sail the globe in search of their roots or see the world through children's eyes.We found many people on boats,bikes and foot,showing that adventure doesn't have to die when a new life is created.As one of my friends says,‘This is your one and only chance to explore the world with your children as they are now.
‘Mum,'I began awkwardly.‘We're going to travel across New Zealand.Two bikes,two trailers(拖車),two toddlers(學(xué)步的孩子)and 2,000miles.'
‘Two thousand nappies(紙尿褲)more like.'
My mother wasn't the only one to raise objections.While friends and family were impressed by our bravery,they were horrified at what it would involve.‘No nursery,no babysitters,no bath time,no peace,no escape…'And that was before we mentioned the real difficulty:pulling 50kg of trailer,toddler and baggage.And of course the nappies.
‘Is there anything I can say to put you off?'my mother asked.
‘No,Mum,'I replied firmly.
‘Well,we'll see about that.'
The challenge of dealing with my mother's phone call about potential disasters is as great as anything we may have to face on the road.Meanwhile,we rush to toilet-train both children to avoid the nappy carrying.Among the voices of doubt and disapproval,I still sometimes wonder if we are mad,but know we aren't mad alone.We have now been in communication with many of the families I showed my mother on the web.And we can feel our own voice getting stronger  and more confident with their encouragement,advice and support.
Now we know there are so many families out there adventuring,we're already developing ideas for a world tour to meet some of these families and talk with them about their experiences and spread the word about the possibilities for independent family adventure.As a friend of ours said,‘The only limit is the parents'imagination.'We intend to let ours run wild.

24.What made the author's mother surprised?B
A.That there're so many things to view on the Internet.
B.That so many parents travel with their small children.
C.That there're so many different ways to see the world.
D.That the author made so many friends on the Internet.
25.When the author's friends knew her travel plan,they feltB.
A.envious      
B.worried       
C.curious     
D.excited
26.When the author is travelling,her mother phones her toC.
A.offer her advice on training children
B.help her get in touch with friends
C.persuade her to stop travelling
D.make sure she isn't mad
27.According to the last paragraph,the authorD.
A.is planning a reunion party with her family
B.has already made a detailed plan for a world tour
C.is concerned that her imagination may cause problems
D.hopes to meet other families and share their experiences.

3.When other nine-year-old kids were playing games,she was working at a petrol station.When other teens were studying or going out,she struggled to find a place to sleep on the street.But she overcame these terrible setbacks to win a highly competitive scholarship and gain entry to Harvard University.And her amazing story has inspired a movie,"Homeless to Harvard:The Liz Murray Story",shown in late April.
Liz Murray,a 22-year-old American girl,has been writing a real-life story of willpower and determination.Liz grew up in the shadow of two drug-addicted parents.There was never enough food or warm clothes in the house.Liz was the only member of the family who had a job.Her mother had AIDS and died when Liz was just 15years old.The effect of that became a turning point in her life.Connecting the environment in which she had grown up with how her mother had died,she decided to do something about it.
Liz went back to school.She threw herself into her studies,never telling her teachers that she was homeless.At night,she lived on the streets."What drove me to live on had something to do with understanding,by understanding that there was a whole other way o f being.I had only experienced a small part of the society,"she wrote in her book Breaking Night.
She admitted that she used envy to drive herself on.She used the benefits that come easily to others,such as a safe living environment,to encourage herself that"next to nothing could hold me down".She finished high school in just two years and won a full scholarship to study at Harvard University.But Liz decided to leave her top university a couple of months earlier this year in order to take care of her father,who has also developed AIDS."I love my parents so much.They are drug addicts.But I never forget that they love me all the time."
Liz wants moviegoers (who often see films) to come away with the idea that changing your life is"as simple as making a decision".

28.In which order did the following things happen to Liz?A
a.Her mother died of AIDS.
b.She worked at a petrol station.
c.She got admitted into Harvard.

D.Love and respect for her parents.
31.When she wrote"What drove me to live on…I had only experienced a small part of the society",she meant thatC.

16.This story,based on the real life story that took place on Thursday,January 15th,2009 when the world witnessed the"Miracle on the Hudson"as Captain,Chesley Sullenberger,nicknamed"Sully"glided his disabled plane onto the frigid waters of the Hudson River,saving the lives of all 155 aboard.However,even as Sully was being heralded by the public and the media for his unprecedented feat of aviation skill,an investigation was unfolding that threatened to destroy his reputation and his career.Tom Hanks portrayal as Sully is the heart and soul of this film.
Out of all the intense films released this year so far,Sully is the best one,hands down.Out of all the nonfiction films released this year,Sully is the greatest.From spectacular directing to emotional acting,Sully is easily one of the best films of 2016.
Sully begins when U.S.Airways flight 1549 lands in the water in the Hudson river after both engines are destroyed by birds.Luckily,not one passenger is injured and this is due to the skill of both rescue teams and pilot Sully Sullenbrger (Tom Hanks) and First Officer Jeffrey Skiles (Aaron Eckhart).Unfortunately,the nightmare is not over.Even though all passengers are in safety,it is still a major question if Sully should have landed the plane in the water and if he might have had enough speed and altitude to reach the runway at an actual airport.
This is a very famous story that happened in 2009,but many people do not know what happened after the plane water landed.Sully truly shows all the events of this flight.Another amazing aspect of the film is the acting.Both Tom Hanks and Aaron Eckhart do phenomenal portrayals of the pilots.Not only do the two look so much like the actual people,they also got their personalities right too.The two actors excel in the scenes where they keep imagining the crash,and it clearly affects them day after day.Clint Eastwood has directed many wonderful films,but Sully,without doubt,is one of his best.The story does not feel like it lasts 96minutes and I was surprised when it ended.
Sully really does keep you on the edge of your seat using cinematography that makes you feel like you are a part of the movie,acting that is emotional and dramatic and even special effects that make it look very real.Something to note,the film was shot with IMAX cameras so seeing it in IMAX theaters gives you the best possible experience.
My favorite scene is the actual plane crash.From taking off,to the passengers getting into rescue boats,this scene keeps your heart beating very fast.I personally suffer from a fear of flying and it pumped me full of adrenaline.I could not blink until I found out what happened next.The special effects of the plane going down in the middle of New York looks very realistic and intense.On top of that,the emotional acting of not only the pilots,but the passengers and the flight attendants brings even more drama to the scene.It is easily the most intense scene in the whole film and,because of cinematography,it makes you feel like you are a part of it,is borderline scary.
Sully is a very mature story.And though it lacks adult content,language or gore,it is geared for a mature audience because of its intense and dramatic scenes.It may be too intense for younger viewers so I recommend it for ages 12 to 18.I definitely give Sully 5 out of 5 stars for its spectacular directing,wonderful cinematography,emotional acting and realistic special effects.

65.According to the passage,Sully,with his heroic deeds,D.
A.eventually achieved his life goal       
 B.just displayed his creative talent
C.a(chǎn)ccidentally became well known        
D.still faced a challenge to his action
66.The underlined phrase"hands down"in Paragraph 2probably means"A".
A.without doubt        
B.passing it down        
C.beyond belief         
D.ending the topic

A.Tom and Aaron play the roles well due to their similar experience
B.full story plus good performance makes Sully an excellent film
C.Clint Eastwood is the deciding factor of the film's great success
D.a(chǎn)dvanced technology makes the film popular among its audience
