2．It's time to do something for your father-the man who for many people has been an encouragement and support since birth．The third Sunday of June is Father's Day．The holiday honors not only fathers，but also all men who act as father figures，such as stepfathers，uncles and grandfathers．
The idea of Father's Day came from the love and appreciation of American lady called Sonore Smart Dodd in 1909．Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father，William Smart．Heraised six children by himself on a countryside farm in Washington State after his wife died during the birth of their sixth child．When Dodd became an adult，she realized the selflessness her father has shown in raising his children as a single parent．It was her father who did all for his children．In the eyes of his daughter，William Smart was a courageous，selfless and loving man．Dodd's father was born in June，so she chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration in Washington on June 19th，1910．
In 1924，US President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father's Day．Finally，in 1966，President Lyndon Johnson declared the third Sunday of June as Father's day．
So this is a perfect chance to let your father know what he means to you．To show your love and respect，you need not buy an expensive gift．You can send him a home-made card； You can call him every day； Even you can give him a sweet smile when he comes back from work．All these little things are easy for us to do，but they can show your care and love to your father．
70．Father's Day always falls onB．
A．the same day every year         
B．the third Sunday of June
C．the last day of June            
D．June 16th of each year
71．Which of the following was NOT used to describe the character of Dodd's father？

72．What does the underlined word"raise"in the second paragraph mean？A
A．養(yǎng)育             B．飼養(yǎng)        C．升起          D．抬高
73．What's the best title for this passage？B
A．Being a Good Father            
B．Father's Day
C．Dodd's Father                 
D．Showing Love to Your Father．

分析 本文主要講述了父親節(jié)的來歷．Sonore Smart Dodd 的父親在妻子死后獨自一人養(yǎng)育了六個孩子，他是一個勇敢、無私、充滿愛心的人．多德想要一個特殊的日子來紀(jì)念她的父親，所以她就在1910年的6月19日舉行了第一個父親節(jié)的慶�；顒樱髞淼玫秸С�，父親節(jié)旨在告訴大家要向父親表達(dá)自己的愛意．

解答 70．B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一段的The thirdSunday of June is Father's Day可知父親節(jié)在六月的第三個星期天，故選B．
71．D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段的WilliamSmart was a courageous，selfless and loving man可知A．B．C三項均有提及，而D項沒提，故選D．
72．A 詞義猜測題．根據(jù)raised后的內(nèi)容Heraised six children by himself on a countryside farm in Washington State afterhis wife died during the birth of their sixth child．可推知，這里指父親獨自一人養(yǎng)育了六個孩子．故選A．
73．B主旨大意題．根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知，本文介紹的是父親節(jié)的來歷，所以B項作為文章的標(biāo)題最佳，故選B．

點評 本文是科教類閱讀，主要考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題和推理判斷題．在做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時，首先根據(jù)題目要求迅速在文章里找出相應(yīng)的段落、句子或短語．認(rèn)真比較選項和文中細(xì)節(jié)的區(qū)別，在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．

13．The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past．With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphone，writing by hand has become something of nostalgic （懷舊的） skill．However，while today's educators are using more and more technology in their teaching，many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful-both in school and in life．
Virginia Berninger，professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington，says it's important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand．
Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks-both on a computer and by hand．The study，published in 2009，found that when writing with a pen and paper，participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate．
In a more recent study，Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student's writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write．"Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary，word meaning and concepts．It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas．"Berninger said．
Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe （轉(zhuǎn)換）"those words in the mind into written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen，"the study said．Seeing the words in the"mind's eye"helps children not only to turn their ideas into words，says Berninger，but also to spot（發(fā)現(xiàn)）spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time．
"In our computer age，some people believe that we don't have to teach spelling because we have spell checks，"she said．"But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level，they won't have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer．"

56．What makes writing by hand a thing of the past？A
A．The use of new technologies in teaching．
B．The absence of blackboard in classroom．
C．The lack of practice in handwriting．
D．The popular use of smartphones．
57．Which of the following best shows the role of spelling？B
A．Spelling improves one's memory of words．
B．Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability．
C．Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas．
D．Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas．
58．What conclusion could be drawn from the passage？D
A．Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade．
B．Computers can help people with their choice of words．
C．Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching．
D．Handwriting still has a place in today's classrooms．

10．CThe iPhone，the iPad，each of Apple's products sounds cool and has become a fashion．Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter"i"-and many other brands are following suit．The BBC's iPlayer-which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet-adopted the title in 2008．A lovely bear-popular in the US and UK-that plays music and video is called"iTeddy"．A slimmed down version of London's Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name"i"．
In general，single-letter prefixes have been popular since the 1990s，when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use．
Most"i"products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent"i"，it's no surprise that they've selected this fashionable name．
But it's hard to see what's so special about the letter"i"．Why not use"a"，"b"，or"c"？According to Tony Thorne，head of the Language Center at King's College，London，"i"works because its meaning has become ambiguous．When Apple uses"i"，no one knows whether it means Internet，information，individual or interactive，Thorne told BBC Magazines．"Even when Apple created the iPad，it seems it didn't have one clear definition．"He says．
"However，thanks to Apple，the term is now associated with portability（輕便）．"Adds Thorne．
Clearly the letter"i"also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual．Each person believes they have their own needs，and they love personalized products for this reason．
Along with"Google"and"blog"，readers of BBC Magazines voted"i"as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade．
But as history shows，people grow tired of fashion．From the 1900s to 1990s，products with"2000"in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern．However，as we entered the new century，the trend disappeared．
61．People use iPlayer toD．
A．listen to music   B．make a call  C．read newspapers  D．watch TV programs online
62．We can infer that the Independent"i"is aimed atC．
A．fashionable women       B．old readers     C．young readers    D．engineers
63．The underlined word"ambiguous"in Paragraph 4 meansB．
A．popular      B．uncertain      C．definite       D．unique
64．The writer suggests thatA．
A．the popularity of"i"products may not last long       
B．iTeddy is a live bear
C．the letter"b"replaces letter"i"to name the products  
D．"i"products are often of high quality
65．Nowadays，the"i"term often reminds people of the products which areA．
A．portable        B．environmentally friendly     C．a(chǎn)dvanced      D．recyclable．

14．Every human being has a unique（唯一的，獨特的） arrangement of the skin on his fingers and this arrangement is unchangeable．Scientists and experts have proved the uniqueness of finger-prints and discovered that no exactly similar pattern is passed on from parents to children，though nobody knows why this is the case．
　The ridge structure on a person's fingers does not change with growth and is not affected by surface injuries．Burns，cuts and other damage to the outer part of the skin will be replaced in time by new one，which bears a reproduction of the original（最粗的，原始的） pattern．It is only when the inner skin is injured that the arrangement will be destroyed．Some criminals make use of this fact to remove their own finger-prints but this is a dangerous and rare step to take．
　Finger-prints can be made very easily with printer's ink．They can by recorded easily．With special methods，identification（辨認(rèn)，鑒定） can be achieved successfully within a short time．Because of the simplicity and economy of this system，finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case．A suspected man may deny a charge but this may be in vain．His finger-prints can prove who he is even if his appearance has been changed by age or accident．
　When a suspect leaves finger-prints behind at the scene of a crime，they are difficult to detect with the naked eye．Special techniques are used to"develop"them．Some of the marks found are incomplete but identification is possible if a print of a quarter of an inch square can be obtained．

12．About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way．Women are luckier； only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter．Perhaps，after all，it is safer to be driven by a woman!
There are different forms of color blindness．In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red．He may think that red，orange and yellow are all shadows of green．Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green．In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green-a strange world indeed．
Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain．In a single eye there are millions of very small things called"cones"．These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors．There are also millions of"rods"，but these are used for seeing when it is near dark．They show us shape but no color．
Some insects have favorite colors．Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow．A red light will not attract insects，but a blue lamp will．In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors．Yet we are lucky．With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day，and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night．One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us．
51．The passage is mainly aboutD．
A．color and its surprising effects．
B．women being luckier than men
C．danger caused by color blindness  
D．color blindness
52．According to the passage，with the help of the"cones"，we canD．
A．tell different shapes                   
B．see in a weak light
C．kill mosquitoes                      
D．tell orange from yellow
53．Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women？B
A．Women are more careful．
B．There are fewer color-blind women
C．Women are fonder of driving than men．
D．Women are weaker but quicker in thinking．
54．Which of the statements about the color-blind is true？A
A．Not all of them have the same problem in recognizing color．
B．None of them can see deep red．
C．None of them can tell the difference between blue and green．
D．All of them see everything in shades of green．
55．We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using aC．
A．red light     B．yellow light     C．blue light      D．green light．
