When Cathleen Gardiner’s twins were born 17 years ago, doctors told her that they were a pair in a million. One had Down syndrome(低能綜合癥), while the other did not. Here, Cathleen tells their touching story.
Since Sean was born 17 years ago, I have always thought that he is just as wonderful as his brother and sister. Though he had a disability(殘疾), we have never viewed him as a burden. He has always been a blessing. The doctors explained that though they were twins, they came from two different eggs. Lisa could walk at 11 months old, while Sean didn’t take his first steps till he was three. By two, Lisa was talking a lot, but Sean wasn’t able to speak until he was nearly four.
For the first five years of his life, Sean needed a great deal of care. Looking after him was my full-time job, though I also worked as a technical adviser in a computing company. We never treated them differently. We gave them the same toys and spoke to them in the same way. We encouraged Sean to keep up with Lisa, even though he never could, and we would help him develop his abilities. We sent them to the same primary school even after doctors advised us that Sean should go to a school for the disabled.
We had to explain to Lisa that he wouldn’t learn as quickly as she would. She told us that she’d help him with his school work. Having a non-disabled twin has really helped Sean develop. The love they share has given him a great deal of support. Now Sean and Lisa are both about to finish high school. I don’t think he would have done nearly as well today without Lisa’s help.
56. At least how many children does Mrs. Gardiner have?
A. Two.     B. Three.      C. Four.   D. One.
57. The third paragraph mainly tells us that _______.
A. the couple treated the twins equally
B. Cathleen did all she could to look after Sean
C. the couple didn’t follow the doctor’s advice
D. the couple encouraged Sean to grow up
58. All of the following statements are true except_________.
A. Sean couldn’t develope so well without his parents’great effort.
B. As a twin sister,Lisa gave Sean a lot of help.
C. As a mother of a disabeled child,Cathleen must have suffered a lot.
D. Cathleen loved Sean more than Lisa because of his disability.
59. This passage tells us that _________.
A. love can do wonders           B. nobody is foolish or clever
C. being stupid doesn’t matter       D. all men are born equal

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源： 題型：閱讀理解

     Ever driven into a traffic jam just after the guy on the radio said the road was all clear? Or prepared yourself for the crowdedness he warned about only to zip right through?

     A large number of private companies say they have the one thing that can ease such frustrations: better information.

     Now one of those companies, SpeedInfo Inc., has fixed 50 solar--powered, wireless radar sensors along main roads in the District of Columbia that take readings of average traffic speeds twice a minute in both directions.

     The company says the sensors provide a far more accurate picture of road conditions than can be collected from helicopters or highway patrol alerts.

     In a business model that SpeedInfo hopes will develope around the country, the San Jose, California--based company is letting the city use the data for traffic planning free of charge, in exchange for access to the side of the road. Speedlnfo plans to sell the information to paying customers, including broadcasters and companies that provide information for in--car navigation equipment.

The problem with traditional traffic reports is that in most of the country, they rely on highway patrol accident reports that come 30 to 40 minutes late and a few helicopters that get into the sky during rush hour, SpeedInfo Chief Executive Doug Finlay said.

      "Chopper Bill gets in the sky and says, 'Oh, I'm looking at the road and the cars are going slow, "' Finlay said. "Chopper Bill is the best data you got."

     Tim Lomax, a researcher at the Texas Transportation Institute, said a recent increase of high--tech traffic data systems is good for drivers.

      "Even if it doesn't get rid of traffic crowdedness, they at least give people an idea of what sort of choices they're facing and more control over their destiny, which is part of the frustrating element of traffic crowdedness," Lomax said.

 

71. The author uses two questions at the beginning of the passage for the purpose of____________

    A. expecting the readers' reply               B. gathering readers' information

    C. asking the readers' for help                D. introducing the theme

72. SpeedIn{o Inc. has fixed radar sensors in Columbia____________

    A. to provide more accurate road conditions quickly

    B. to have a better idea of passers--byes privacy

    C. to protect the capital from being attacked

    D. to keep an eye on helicopters or highways

73. According to Tim Lomax, ____________

    A. the high--tech traffic data systems is of little use for traffic jam

    B. the Solar--powered sensors can get rid of all traffic problems

    C. the system can cause drivers to be more aware of road conditions

    D. the facilities can change a person's fortune in the near future

74. All the following are true EXCEPT that____________

    A. the city of Washington uses the data for traffic planning for free

    B. broadcasters and companies get the information without pay

    C. highway patrol accident reports often come 30 to 40 minutes late

    D. Finlay tries to persuade people to use their collected data

75. The passage is mainly concerned with____________

    A. solar--powered sensors that provide traffic data

    B. Speedlnfo Inc. that produces radar sensors

    C. a business model that will develope around U. S

   D. the problem that traditional traffic reports ever have
