I am my mother’s third child. When I was born, the doctor gently explained to my mother that my left arm was     36   , below the elbow (肘). Then he gave her some     37   , “Don’t treat her any     38    from the other girls. Demand more.” And she     39   !
My mother had to work to     40    my family. There were five girls in our family and we all had to     41   . Once when I was about seven, I came out of the     42   , “Mom, I can’t peel (削……皮) potatoes. I only have one hand.”
“You get back to peel those potatoes, and don’t ever use that as a(n)     43    for anything again!”
Of course I could peel potatoes — with my good hand, while holding them down with my __44    arm. There was always a     45   , and Mom knew it. “If you try hard    46   ,” she said, “you can do anything.”
Once in the second grade, our teacher had each of us race across the monkey bars (攀爬架). When it was my turn, I     47    my head. Some kids     48   . I went home crying.
After work the next afternoon, Mom     49    me back to the school playground.
“Now,     50    up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by     51    I practiced, and she     52    me when I made progress.
I’ll never forget the     53    time I was crossing the bars. The kids were standing there with their mouths open.
It was the way with everything. When I     54    I can’t handle (處理) things, I see Mom’s smile again. She had the heart to     55    anything. And she taught me I could, too.

小題1:．A. 解析：聯(lián)系下文我們可以得知，出生時，“我”左胳臂肘以下的部分缺少。從下文可知，作者的胳膊不是斷了(bro—
ken)，也不是生病(diseased)，而是沒有。
小題1:. D 解析：從空后的句子我們得知，這是醫(yī)生給“我”母親的建議，要母親像對待一個正常的孩子那樣對待“我”。此處醫(yī)生給我母親的不是“警告”，也不是“幫助”，更不是“藥”。
小題1:．B 解析：從下句demand more可以得知，醫(yī)生要“我”母親不要因?yàn)椤拔摇钡臍埣簿桶选拔摇迸c其他孩子區(qū)別對待。從后面的介詞from可排除其他選項(xiàng)，不合搭配。
小題1:．A 解析：did在此相當(dāng)于demanded more，此處強(qiáng)調(diào)母親確實(shí)照醫(yī)生的話做了。B、C不合題意。D用于替代句中的系表結(jié)構(gòu)，而此處demand more是實(shí)意動詞。
小題1:．C 解析：support在這里是“支撐，養(yǎng)活”的意思，說明母親要工作來養(yǎng)家糊口。從母親的艱辛這一點(diǎn)可排除其他動詞； care"關(guān)心”’feed"喂養(yǎng)”。
小題1:．D 解析：從下文“我”剝土豆皮的經(jīng)歷可得知“我們”姐妹幾個都幫母親的忙。help out當(dāng)“幫助”講’pay attention"注意”；workout"解決問題；出現(xiàn)……結(jié)果”；carry out"執(zhí)行(任務(wù)等)”，都不合題意。    
小題1:．A 解析：從空后的"Mom，I can’t peel potatoes．”看，“我”從廚房走出來。從作者削土豆這——具體的語境可排除其他選項(xiàng)。
小題1:. C 解析：空前的that指代“我”所說的I can’t peel potatoes，I only have one hand．母親認(rèn)為那是借口，故用eXCUS~“主
意”“變化”“解釋”在此都不合邏輯。
小題1:．B 解析：用右手剝皮，用左胳膊把土豆握住，my other arm 指失去肘部以下的那只胳膊。lost"失蹤的、丟失的”，往往指整個東西，而此處作者的胳膊僅僅缺少了半截；next"下一個”指次序；longer不合邏輯。
小題1:．B 解析：從下文"if you try hard 11(enough)，you can do anything．”我們得知，“我”認(rèn)為辦法總是有的。此處指的是有“辦法”，其他選項(xiàng)不合題意。
小題1:．A 解析：enough在這里做程度副詞，修飾前面的副詞hard．題意為：假如你足夠努力，你什么事情都可以做。100表示兩種兩樣的情況；again表示動作的重復(fù)，都不合題意。
小題1:．C 解析：從下句我們知道，這次“我”沒有做，因此當(dāng)老師要“我”做的時候，“我”搖頭拒絕，因此用shock．從下文以及作者是殘疾人這一點(diǎn)可排除其他選項(xiàng)。
小題1:．D 解析：在這里作者是說有幾個孩子嘲笑“我”，用laugh at sb A、C有較大干擾性，cheered多表達(dá)因?yàn)槌晒�、喜悅而歡呼慶祝，而joke指開玩笑。
小題1:．B 解析：take sb．t。a place意思是“領(lǐng)著某人去某地”。Drive sb．t。意為“開車?yán)湍橙说绞裁吹胤健�；send sb．To a place意為“派某人去某地”；carry sb．t。意為“攜帶某人去某地”。
小題1:．A 解析：pull up在這里指把身體拉上去。在這里母親要“我”用右手把身體拉上高低杠。pull表示“拉，牽引”。因?yàn)楹竺嬗小坝媚愕挠沂帧钡男畔⑾拗�，因此排除其他選項(xiàng)。
小題1:．B 解析：as在此相當(dāng)于when或while，在我練習(xí)的時候，母親站在一邊。此處表示兩個動作同時發(fā)生，因此排除其他選項(xiàng)。
小題1:．C 解析：在“我”有進(jìn)步時，母親表場“我”。由前面“進(jìn)步”信息提示，可排除“幫助”“抬”“保護(hù)”。
小題1:．D 解析：the next time指自那次以后的下一次；the first time“第一次”；the last time"上一次，最后一次”；the wonderful time"最美好的時光”都不合語境。
小題1:．B解析：不能夠處理事情是“我”的擔(dān)心，故用fear，相當(dāng)于be afraid．其他答案均有一定干擾性，聯(lián)系上下文我們知道，母親一直鼓勵“我”不要把自己看作殘疾人，她要求“我”做正常人所做的一切事情。admit“承認(rèn)”，realize"意識到”，此處都不合語境。
小題1:. A 解析：“她用心去面對一切事情”。D項(xiàng)有一定干擾性，從空前的heart我們得知，母親從心理上能勇敢面對一切困難。

When Jane Austen (1775--1817) wrote her novels in England, she was writing about a   21 that most of us would not recognize.
But today Austen’s books are in great   22  than ever. In the last ten years, five or six novels have been   23  into Hollywood films, while her books continue to be bestsellers. So why is Austen still   24 ?
Richard Jenkyns, a professor of English at Oxford University argued that her novels still  25  people because they  26 the same issues today as they were when she wrote them.
Her novels are about women   27 to find a perfect husband, but also  28 issues surrounding marriages, friendships and the family. “The plots are fairly timeless about human interaction   29 are familiar to us,” Jenkyns says.
The most famous book Austen wrote is Pride and Prejudice, a   30  story between Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy. At first the two   31 do not get on. They   32  fall in love, but still have to   33  opposition to their relationship from their families.

Qian Xuesen is one of the pioneers of China's space science. As a world-famous expert on aerospace rockets and aerodynamics, he obtained great achievements in the areas of applied mechanics, engineering cybernetics and system engineering and made distinguished contributions to the foundation and development of Chinese aerospace undertaking(事業(yè)).
He graduated from Shanghai Jiaotong University in 1934, and Qian Xuesen went to the United States to study in MIT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, one year later. After receiving master's degree in MIT, he went to study in California Institute of Technology and received PhD degrees in both aerospace and mathematics.
In 1955, six years after the founding of People's Republic of China, Qian Xuesen returned to his motherland. His return brought China the hope of developing space science and its own missiles. In 1956, Qian Xuesen put forward “Proposal on the Development of China's Aviation Industry for National Defense”. With the support from Zhou Enlai, the premier, and marshal Nie Rongzheng, Qian Xuesen began to prepare for the establishment of China's first missile and rocket research and development structure, the Fifth Research Institute of State Ministry of Defense. Henceforth(從此以后), he has long been in charge of the chief technological research and development of China's missile, rocket and spacecraft.
Due to research and development led by Qian Xuesen, China successfully exploded its first atom bomb in 1964. Later, China launched its first man-made satellite, Dong Fang Hong I, to the earth orbit on April 24, 1970, becoming the fifth country in the world to independently launch satellite following the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the USA, France and Japan. The satellite floated around the earth, blaring(高聲播放)the song Dong Fang Hong, which has the same name as the satellite.
As a forerunner leading the development of China's aerospace science and technology, Qian Xuesen also provided chances for young scientists. Wang Yongzhi, former chief designer of China's manned-space project, has benefited a lot from Qian Xuesen. “He suggested that rocket of the second generation should be developed by our second generation scientists. This suggestion gave us chances to be general designers.” Recalling the experience working with Qian Xuesen, Sun Jiadong, general designer of China's lunar orbiter project, is very grateful. “He put great expectation on us and trusted us a lot. Whenever we made mistakes, he seldom blamed us, but helped us to find out the reason so we could avoid it in the future.”
Honored as Father of China's Missile and King of Rockets, Qian Xuesen never stopped his work on scientific research after he retired. He said he had no time to review the past, but looked forward to the future.
小題1:When did Qian xuesen begin to study in Massachusetts Institute of Technology?
A．In 1955.B．In 1935. C．In 1936. D．In 1934.
小題2:Which of the following is about the five countries that launched man-made satellite independently before 1970?
A．The former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the UK, France, China and Japan.
B．The former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the USA, Japan, Canada and China.
C．America, France, Japan, China and Australia.
D．The former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, America, France, Japan and China.
小題3: What does the underlined word “forerunner”(Paragraph 5) probably mean?                                 
A．A leader.
B．A competitor. C．A pioneer.
D．A successful scientist.
小題4:According to the passage, which of the following about Qian Xuesen is NOT true?
A．In 1956, he made good preparations for the Fifth Research Institute of State Ministry of Defence.
B．He made outstanding contributions to the establishment and development of Chinese aerospace
undertaking.
C．He returned to China, bringing China the hope of developing space science and its own missiles.
D．He devoted all his life to China’s space science.
小題5:It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that _________.
A．Qian Xuesen is very concerned about the development of young scientists
B．The help of Qian Xuesen is beneficial to young scientists
C．Qian Xuesen gives many opportunities to general designers
D．When the chief designers do something wrong, Qian Xuesen helps them find out the cause

It is not often realized that women held a high place in southern European societies in the 10 th and 11 th centuries. As wife, the woman was protected by the setting up of a dowry (嫁妝) or decimum. Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of desertion (遺棄)，but in reality its function in the social and family life of the time was much more important. The decimum was the wife’s right to receive a tenth of all her husband’s property. The wife had the right to withhold consent, in all transactions the husband would make, And more than just a right: the documents showed that she enjoyed a real power of decision, equal to that of her husband. In no case did the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal status of husband and wife.
The wife shared in the management of her husband’s personal property, but the opposite was not always true. Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance(遺產(chǎn)，繼承物)against husbands who tried to exceed their rights, and on occasion they showed a fine fighting spirit. A case in point is that of Maria, Vivas, a Catalan woman of Barcelona. Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on compensation. None being offered, she succeeded in dragging her husband to the scribe to have a contract duly drawn up assigning her a piece of land from Miro’s personal inheritance. The unfortunate husband was obliged to agree, as the contract says, “for the sake of peace.” Either through the dowry or through being hot-tempered, the Catalan wife knew how to win herself, within the context of the family, a powerful economic position.

Dr. Marie Curie is known to the world as the scientist who discovered radioactive metals i.e. Radium and Polonium.
Marie Curie was a Polish physicist and chemist. Together with her husband, Pierre, she discovered two new elements and studied the x-rays they emitted. She found that the harmful properties of x-rays were able to kill tumors. By the end of World War I, Marie Curie was probably the most famous woman in the world. She had made a conscious decision, however, not to patent methods of processing radium or its medical applications.
Marie Curie was born on November 7, 1867 in Poland and died on July 4, 1934. Her co-discovery with her husband Pierre Curie of the radioactive elements radium and polonium represents one of the best known stories in modern science for which they were recognized in 1901 with the Nobel Prize for Physics. In 1911, Marie Curie was honored with a second Nobel prize, this time for chemistry, to honor her for successfully isolating pure radium and determining radium's atomic weight.
As a child, Marie Curie amazed people with her great memory. She learned to read when she was only four years old. Her father was a professor of science and the instruments that he kept in a glass case fascinated Marie. She dreamed of becoming a scientist, but that would not be easy. Her family became very poor, and at the age of 18, Marie became a governess. She helped pay for her sister to study in Paris. Later, her sister helped Marie with her education. In 1891, Marie attended the Sorbonne University in Paris where she met and married Pierre Curie, a well-known physicist.
Marie Curie contributed greatly to our understanding of radioactivity and the effects of x-rays. She received two Nobel prizes for her brilliant work, but died of leukemia, caused by her repeated exposure to radioactive material.
