14．   Windsurfing is a sport that combines sailing and surfing．In 1948，twenty-year-old Newman Darby first thought of using a handheld sail to contro1a small boat．Darby did not apply for a patent（專利）for his design at first．However，he is recognized as the inventor of the first sailboard．
Californians Jim Drake，a sailor and engineer，and Hoyle Schweitzer，a surfer and skier received the patent for a sailboard．They called their design a windsurfer．The early windsurfer boards measured 3.5meters long and weighed 60pounds．Later in the l980s，Newman Darby did apply for and receive a design patent for a one-person sailboat．
In the late l940s，Newman Darby found he could control a 3-meter-long sailboat and make turns even without a rudder（舵）．In l964he designed the first universal joint（萬向接頭）to go along with a flat bottom sailing boat．This sailboard was equipped with a universal joint，a board and a kite-shaped free sail and thus windsurfing was born．
Naomi Darby，Newman's wife，was the first woman windsurfer and helped her husband build and design the first sailboard．She sailed while standing up，controlling the boat without the use of a rudder．She tilted（傾斜）the sail to change directions．This was something that had never been done before．
Hoyle Schweitzer began producing sailboards in the early 1970s．The sport became very popular in Europe．By the late 1970s，windsurfing fever had Europe firmly in its grasp with one in every three families having a sailboard．
The first windsurfing world championship was held in 1973．Windsurfing first became an Olympic sport for men in l984and for women in l992．

A．a(chǎn) sailboard called windsurfer    B．a(chǎn) kite-shaped free sail

2．It's hard to find Alice Munro in the media．Even after she won the 2013 Nobel Prize in Literature，the Canadian writer just appeared for a quick interview and then dropped out of sight．On Dec 29th，she still didn't seek the spotlight when she was named one of the five Women of the Year by the Financial Times．
In Munro's eyes，ordinary lives always hide larger dramas．So she records what we casually think of as the everyday actions of normal people．She often focuses on life in her hometown，a small village in Ontario which she is most familiar with．She writes about the ordinary things in the village-trees in the Ontario wilderness，poor country schools and long last illnesses．Above all，she talks about girls and women who have seemingly ordinary lives but struggle against daily misfortune．
She has a special talent for uncovering the extraordinary in the ordinary．These are ordinary people，ordinary stories，but she has the magic．Her precise language，depth of detail and the logic of her storytelling have made her stories inviting．
Runaway，one of Munro's representative works，is a good example of her writing style．One of the stories centers on the life of an ordinary woman Carla，who lives in a small Canadian town with her husband Clark．The story slowly forms a picture of Carla，trapped in a bad marriage，her unhappiness building into desperation until she decides to flee．The story of Carla is a story of the power and betrayals of love．It is about lost children and lost chances that we can all find in life．There is pain beneath the surface，like a needle in the heart．
Since she published her first collection of short stories in 1968，Munro has won many awards，with the Nobel Prize being her biggest honor．On Oct 10th，2013，the Nobel Prize committee named Munro the"master of the contemporary short story"．

51．We learn from Paragraph 1 that Alice MunroD．
A．didn't get on well with the media
B．was surprised at winning the Nobel Prize
C．didn't value the title of Women of the Year
D．remained modest though very successful
52．Many of Alice Munro's worksC．
A．center on the happy life of country women
B．a(chǎn)re about betrayals of love and violence
C．focus on everyday life of ordinary people
D．a(chǎn)re romantic stories setting in her hometown
53．What makes Alice Munro's stories fascinating according to the text？C
A．The complicated plots．
B．Her rich imagination．

C．leads a happy life with Clark

9．In Shanghai's Grand Theater，a fashionable，mainly young audience applauds enthusiastically as Guo Yong takes center stage．He holds a large bushy tree branch with leaves．Blowing on one of the leaves，he produces a sound like the singing of birds as he plays a traditional Buyi folk song．Some other musicians are also playing the traditional instruments from various ethnic groups in China．
It's the first time such music has ever been performed in the Grand Theater．But all this is the efforts of Zhu Zheqin，a Cantonese-born singer，who has made it her mission to help preserve China's traditional ethnic music．
In 2009，after being appointed a United Nations Development Program ambassador，Zhu traveled through some of China's remotest regions in an attempt to document the traditional music of various minority groups．In the course other four-month trip，she recorded more than a thousand songs．But she noticed that many of the best musicians were old，and some of the music was at risk of dying out．
"I was shocked by the beauty of what I heard-it was so good，"she says．"But it needed support．I hope to let people see the beauty of these things in the contemporary times．"

Zhu believes China needs to look again at its own roots．"China today is basically all Western art； in our conservatories （音樂學(xué)院） Western classical music is the top，"she says．"For China to really contribute to the world，we need to go on our own path．So what can represent China today？"The answer，she suggests，is to move from"made in China"to"created in China"．

19．He's an old cobbler （修鞋匠） with a shop in the Marais，a historic area in Paris．When I took him my shoes，he at first told me："I haven't time．Take them to the other fellow on the main street； he'll fix them for you right away．"
But I'd had my eye on his shop for a long time．Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather，I knew he was a skilled craftsman （手藝人）．"No，"I replied，"The other fellow can't do it well．"
"The other fellow"was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys"while-U-wait"--without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys．They work carelessly，and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap （鞋帶），you might as well just throw away the pair．
My man saw I wouldn't give in，and he smiled．He wiped his hands on his blue apron （圍裙），looked at my shoes，had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said，"Come back in a week．"
      I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boot off a shelf．
"See what I can do"he said with pride．"Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work．"
When I got back out into the street，the world seemed brand-new to me．He was something out of an ancient legend，an old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly，his pride in his craft．
These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line，when you can do things any old way as long as it"pays"，when，in short，people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption （消費(fèi)） rather than a way to realize their own abilities．In such a period，it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done．
56．Which of the following is true about the old cobbler？C
A．He was equipped with the best repairing tools．
B．He was the only cobbler in the Marais．
