Orville Wright was born on August 19, 1871 in Dayton, Ohio, USA and died on January 30, 1948.
Together with his brother, Wilbur, he was the first airplane builder. The brothers created the first
controlled, powered and heavier-than-air human flight.
His parents were Milton Wright and Susan Catherine Koerner and besides the two famous
brothers they had five children. One day after a trip his father brought as a gift a small helicopter. The
kids loved it and as they played daily with it after a while it broke. The brothers managed to create a
new one. Wright even let go his plans of attending Yale. He spent his time helping his ill mother and
reading in his father’s library.
In 1884 the family decided to move to Dayton and they remained there until the 1870’s. A printing
press was built by the two and Wilbur was an editor. In 1892 they started being fascinated by the
aeronautical （航空的）events of that time. Then they started to create an airplane and Wilbur was
considered the head of the team. They were the inventors of “three axis-control”, which permitted the
pilot to steer the aircraft’s balance.
In 1900 they had their first attempts to make a functional glider （滑翔机）--- of course it didn’t
have a pilot. After three years they thought of introducing an engine to the glider. At first, their patent
（专利）application was refused in 1903, but after one year it was accepted.
Orville’s first flight lasted 12 seconds and had 36.5 meters. He was responsible with the public
shows near Washington in the United States. On September 9, 1908 his flight was 62 minutes and 15
seconds long and the success was huge.
24. What might make Wright brothers interested in the plane
A. The pleasant trip B. Catherine’s education
C. The political events. D. Their father’s gift.
25. Wright didn’t go to Yale probably because .
A. he had to create a plane B. he didn’t have enough money
C. he would like to learn by himself D. his mother asked him to stay at home
26. The underlined word “steer” (in Paragragh 3) probably means .
A. keep B. drive C. learn D. enjoy
27. This passage tells us about .
A. the plane’s history B. Milton and his children
C. Orville Wright’s life D. the development of science
C
Many people believe that you lose the ability to learn new languages as you get older. Language
experts, however, will tell you that you’re never too old to learn a new language. As you get older, it
can be more difficult to learn a new language, though.
第4页/共11页
Children and adults learn new languages in different ways. For children, language is their life. They
study for thousands of hours every year, because they need to learn languages to become part of their
communities. Adults, on the other hand, are already part of a language community. Learning a new
language means becoming part of another language community, and adults rarely get the chance to
practice as much as young children do.
Moreover, children learning a new language are expected to make mistakes. This gives them
freedom when learning to be daring and confident. Adults, however, often feel pressured to be perfect
when learning a new language. This can discourage many people and make it even harder to learn a
new language.
When young children learn a new language, they come to see various languages as a “normal” part
of society. This mindset （思维模式） helps them embrace learning a new language without feeling
like they’re doing something unusual or “too hard”.
So if you want to learn a new language, go for it! It’s never too late to learn a new language. If
you’re older, it may take more work, but it can be done. If you’re a young child, though, now is the
time to step out and learn a new language!
28. By “Language is their life”, the author means that children .
A. can’t live without language
B. lead a happy life every day
C. practice a new language a lot
D. are taken good care of adults
29. What may make it for the old people to learn to a new language
A. They are afraid of being laughed at.
B. They usually have too many interests.
C. They think making mistakes is natural.
D. They always make all kinds of mistakes.
30. Which of the following shows the difference between children and adults in
learning a new language
A. The behaviors they have.
B. The learning attitudes.
C. The future plans they have made.
D. The materials they are using.
31. According to the author, a new language .
A. can never be learned by the old people
B. can be grasped by the old people easily
C. can be understood only by the old people

Traveling by bicycle is a very popular means of transportation throughout China. China has a
huge population, and it is said that there is at least one bicycle for every two people within the company.
Of course, many people in China ride bicycles purely for sport or exercise, but it’s also a much more
commonly accepted means of everyday transportation, as compared to countries such as the United
States.
If you are living for a long period of time in China, chances are you will want to purchase your
own bicycle so that you can use it whenever you want for transportation or just for the enjoyment of
riding. Even if you don’t use a bicycle for everyday transportation, owning one can be a great way of
enjoying some of the trails in the rural areas, just for fun. However, if you are just visiting China,
renting a bicycle can be a more convenient choice.
It is important to choose the correct bicycle for your use. You’ll find that in China, the one-speed
style of bicycle is extremely popular. These bicycles are great if you want to ride around in the city to
see the sights. They are quite comfortable and easy to ride. You can often rent a bicycle for an entire
day for around $15.
However, if you wish to ride on some of the rural paths, a mountain bike style would be a better
choice. They are great for different kinds of road surfaces, providing for a safer ride. If you are
planning to have a desire to tour and still be able to carry packages with you, then a touring bike would
be the best choice. These are generally the most expensive to rent, but are extremely handy for carrying
packages and even some of your luggage along with you.
32. The opening paragragh probably tells us that .
A. riding bicycle is very popular to Chinese people
B. Chinese people use bicycles only for transportation
C. Americans use bicycles only for sport and exercise
D. Riding bicycles is the main means of transportation
33. If you are traveling in Beijing you’d better .
A. buy a bike B. borrow a bike C. steal a bike D. rent a bike
34. Which of the following is the advantage of the one-speed bicycle
A. It’s worth at least 15 dollars B. You can’t ride it in the countryside.
C. It is easy for you to travel in the city D. You have to return it the next day.
35. You would like to own a touring bike probably because .
A. you have to ride on the road in the countryside
B. you have some packages to carry while traveling
C. you want to enjoy the sights in the big cities

The benefits of keeping a journal(日志)
If you want to grow, one important thing you should do is keep a journal. It may seem simple, but
it can make a big difference in your life. I have been keeping journals for years. Writing all the lessons
I learn and all the ideas I get has become a habit for me.
36 Here are some benefits you will get by keeping a journal.
It prevents you from losing an idea. Have you ever gotten an idea and lost it later because you
didn’t write it down 37 But then I developed the habit of writing down every idea that came into
my mind as soon as possible. If I am away from my computer, I usually write it down on a piece of
paper that I bring wherever I go. I will then transfer the idea to the journal in my computer.
It helps you review all the lessons you’ve learned. By reviewing your journal, you can quickly see
the lessons you’ve learned and the ideas you’ve gotten. 38 You can use the ideas to propel yourself
forward.
39 After keeping a journal for years, you can look back at it and see how far you’ve gone.
Things that were big problems in the past might seem small today. The raw ideas you had in the past
have been realized today.
It helps you expand your ideas. When you try to come up with a sentence to express an idea, you
are thinking actively about it. 40 In the end, you will expand your ideas.
A. I often experienced that myself.
B. It trains you to express your thoughts.
C. It allows you to see your progress over time.
D. Just use whatever tool you feel comfortable with.
E. Thinking actively helps you connect your idea to another idea.
F. And to be honest, I can’t imagine what my life would be like without it.
G. Then you can do whatever necessary to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

Writing text messages while walking is dangerous. A study says it is more dangerous than texting
while driving. Researchers found that there are more 61 (injury) to texting pedestrians(行人)than
there are to texting motorists. Their report says walking is not as easy 62 we think. We must focus
on many things at the same time to walk safely in a straight line. The researchers said that people forget
how to walk
63 (proper), so dangerous things happen to them. They bump(撞) into walls and other people. They
walk into cars, fall over things in the street, and even fall into holes 64 .
A professor said walking is a difficult action. There are several reasons 65 texting makes walking
dangerous. 66 is that people cannot see the street. Another is that they focus on their phone keyboard
instead of their feet. A final reason is that their minds are somewhere else---they are not thinking about
67 (walk) from A to B safely. The professor said over 6,000 people 68 (visit) his hospital last
year because of texting. He said 69 worst cases are head injuries. When a pedestrian is tossed into
