第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)

A

“If you want to see something well, reach out and touch it!”

That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better.

Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it.

With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pockets. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.

You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music.

All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we often have to touch things before we buy them.

The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a hard floor. All feel different under your feet.

There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin……

Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show.

21. By touching things,___________.        .

A. you will have a strange feeling        B. you will learn how to reach out

C. you can see things better             D. you can tell what colors they are

22. Which of the following best serves as the best title of the story?

A. Touching by Feeling             B. To See or to Feel

C. Seeing by Feeling               D. Seeing Is Believing

23. When people buy things in shops, they often _________        .

A. try them on first           B. put their right hand on them

C. just have a look            D. feel and touch them

B

Margaret, married with two small children, has been working for the last seven years as a night cleaner, cleaning offices in a big building.

She got trained as a nurse, but had to give it up when her elder child became seriously ill. “I would have liked to go back to it , but the shifts(工作班次)are all wrong for me, as I have to be home to get the children up and off to school.”

So she works as a cleaner instead, from 9 p.m. till 6 a.m. five nights a week for just £ 90, before tax and insurance. “It’s better than it was last year, but I still think that people who work ‘unsocial hours’ should get a bit extra.”

The hours she’s chosen to work mean that she sees plenty of the children, but very little of her husband. However, she doesn’t think that puts any pressure on their relationship.

Her work isn’t physically very hard, but it’s not exactly pleasant, either. “I do get angry with people who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs. If they realized people like me have to do it, perhaps they’d be a bit more careful.”

The fact that she’s working all night doesn’t worry Margaret at all. Unlike some dark buildings at night, the building where she works is fully lit, and the women work in groups of three. “Since I’ve got to be here, I try to enjoy myself-and I usually do, together with the other girls. We all have a good laugh, so the time never drags.”

Another challenge Margaret has to face is the reaction of other people when she tells them what she does for a living. “They think you’re a cleaner because you don’t know how to read and write,” said Margaret. “I used to think what my parents would say if they knew what I’d been doing, but I don’t think that way any more. I don’t dislike the work though I can’t say I’m mad about it.”

24.Margaret quit her job as a nurse because ______   .

A.she wanted to earn more money to support her family

B.she had suffered a lot of mental pressure

C.she needed the right time to look after her children

D.she felt tired of taking care of patients

25.Margaret gets angry with people who work in the office because ______    .

A.they never clean their offices         B.they look down upon cleaners

C.they never do their work carefully     D. they always make a mess in their offices

26.When at work, Margaret feels   ______    .

A.light-hearted because of her fellow workers    B.happy because the building is fully lit

C.tired because of the heavy workload          D.bored because time passes slowly

27.The underlined part in the last paragraph implies that Margaret’s parents would _____  .

A.help care for her children           B.regret what they had said

C.show sympathy for her             D.feel disappointed with her

C

I was appreciating my family photos on my computer, admiring my two beautiful babies when I found a disturbing scene: my laptop was in almost all the pictures. There was my daughter, 8 months old, playing at my feet while I was typing on the couch. There was my son, with a big transformer, on my left arms.

I’d heard about the Internet addiction before, but I always thought it was something only limited to playing too much World of Warcraft (a computer game) day and night. Now, it seemed my Internet-habit is slowly but surely cr ossing the line. Sometimes I find myself up at midnight, surfing the Web while my family are sleeping. I read news, keep up with friends and write my blog … just for something to do.

It turns out that I’m not the only mama who is addicted to the computer. These moms are contributing to a growing global addiction. There’s a movement among psychiatrists (doctors who specialize in mental diseases) to recognize the Internet addiction as an official mental disorder. And a recent Stanford University national survey found that 14 percent of Internet users find it  hard to stay away from it for several days at a time; 9 percent try to  hide their ―unnecessary Internet use from their loved ones; 8 percent admit they use the Web as a way to escape problems.

You’re likely not the kind of addict who doesn’t bathe and abuses drugs to help her stay up for more online time. You may have noticed, though, that going online has become a necessary part of your life, which, at least, means a box of clothes go  unwashed. It may also mean you’re missing much time with you baby – something you probably do care about.

28. From Paragraph 1, we can conclude that _______.

A. the author was busy taking care of her babies

B. the author’s job had something to do with computers

C. the author was not good at taking photos of her babies

D. the author looked after her babies while using the computer.
