阅读下列短文，从文后各题所给的四个选项中选 出一个最佳答案。

In 1880, fourteen-year-old Matthew Henson loved to hear sailors tell tales of their exciting lives

at sea. One day he made up his

16

. Baltimore was the nearest large seaport(

海港

). The next

morning he set out on the

17

journey to try to find work on a sailing ship.

In Baltimore, Henson found a job as a cabin boy on a beautiful ship. For the next five years,

Henson

18

around

the

world.

19

the help

of

the

ship’s

captain

and

other

members

of

the crew, Henson learned mathematics, history, geography, and many other subjects.

Unable to find work anywhere else, Henson took a job in a

20

shop in Washington, D.C.

One day in 1887, a man came in to buy a hat. The man, Lieutenant Robert Peary, asked the owner

21

he knew anyone with experience at sea or not. Peary would soon travel to South America for

the U.S. government.

22

the shop owner introduced Peary to Henson. Using his map-reading and

sailing skills, Henson proved

23

to be a worthy and smart seaman. One day Peary told Henson

about his real dream:

to be the first

man

24

on “the top of the

world” at

the

North Pole. He

asked Henson to help him make his dream

25

.

Over the next five years, the two explorers(

探险家

) made two trips together to the Arctic(

北极

).

However, they were not

26

to reach the pole either time. The cold, wind, and ice were

27

than either of them had ever imagined.

In

1908,

The

two

men

28

never

gave

up

were

ready

to

make

their

final

challenge

at

reaching

the

North

Pole.

With

four

guides,

they

made

a

mad

dash

straight

across

the

ice.

29

April 1909, Henson’s instruments showed they were standing at the North Pole. Together Henson

and Peary planted the American flag in the snow

A priest(

牧师

) had a cat that climbed up a tree in his backyard and then was afraid to come

down. The tree was not strong enough to climb, so the priest decided that if he tied a rope to his car

and drove away so that the tree bent(

弯曲

) down, he could then reach up and get the kitty. He did so,

checking his progress in the car again and again, then work out if he went just a little bit further, the

tree would be bent enough for him to reach the kitty. But as he moved a little further forward, the

rope broke.

The tree we

nt “boing!” and the kitty at once sailed through the air —

out of sight. The priest felt

terrible.

He

walked

all

over

the

neighborhood

asking

people

if

they’d

seen

his

kitty.

Nobody

had

seen a lost kitty.

So, he praye

d, “Go

d, I just give this kitty to your keeping,

” and went on about his business.

Several

days

later

he

was

at

the

grocery

store,

meeting

one

of

his

church

members.

He

happened to look into her shopping cart and was amazed to see cat food. Before this woman was a

cat hater and everyone k

new it, so he asked her, “Why are you buying cat food when you hate cats

so much?”

She replied,

“You won’t believe this,” and told him how her little girl had been begging

(

恳求

)

her for a cat, but she kept refusing. Then a few days before, the child begged again, so the Mom

finally told her little girl, “Well, if

_________

, you can keep it.” She told the priest, “I watched my

child go out in the yard, get on her knees, and as

k God for a cat. You won’t believe this, but I saw it

with my own eyes. A cat suddenly came flying out of the blue sky, with its paws spread out, and

landed right in front of her. ”

34. The priest drove his car to bend the tree in order to __________.

A. get his kitty down from the tree

As Danny put his lunch tray onto the cafeteria table, milk spilled all over his sandwich.

“

This is

the worst thing

I’

ve ever done!

”

he said,

“

It

’

s not that bad,

”

said his friend Elena, who was sitting

across from him.

“

Just get another sandwich.

”

“

Sandwich? What sandwich? I am talking about the talent contest

（竞赛）

. It

’

s only two weeks

away and I don

’

t know what

I’

m doing! Everybody will laugh at me. There

’

s no way to avoid it!

”

“

Don

’

t be so negative, Danny,

”

said Elena as she rolled her eyes.

“

< br>You

’

re going to be great. You

have the skills to do just about anything.

”

Danny moved his lunch tray to the side and rested his head on the table.

“

Sit up Danny,

”

ordered Elena,

“

I have an idea. Let

’

s brainstorm a list of things you could do.

We

’

ll divide the list into categories or groups. Let

’

s start with music. You play the piano, right?

”

“

I stopped taking lessons in the third grade,

”

said Danny.

“

What about singing a song?

”

suggested Elena.

Danny shook his head no.

“

Let

’

s move on to another category.

”

“

What about performing magic tricks?

”

asked Elena, as she twisted thin strands of hair around

her finger.

“

I don

’

t know how to play magic tricks!

”

Danny almost shouted.

“

Stop being so

…”

Elena paused,

“

That

’

s it, DRAMA

TIC!

”

Elena shouted excitedly.

“

You could

do a dramatic reading. You definitely have the talent for it. Mrs. Pace always calls on you to read

aloud in class. You could read a play aloud. Maybe you could even get extra credit from Mrs. Pace.

She rewards students with points for doing extra reading work.

”

Danny thought for a minute. Then he smiled.

“

Elena,

Danny said,

“

You are a great friend!

New Technology Revolutionizes(

变革

) Learning

More and more people believe that technologies are great for learning.

Today,

such

teaching

tools as

iPads are

used

in

a

lot of

courses,

including

language, history and science.

Many teachers are supporters of using iPads in language learning. They say that students now

have

much

more

time

for

discussion

in

the

classroom.

Instead

of

spending

valuable

class

time

listening to texts or watching teaching videos, students can do this on their own and come to class

prepared for discussion.

The teachers also say that iPads allow students to learn at their own pace. Some students might

listen to a dialogue only once and understand it, so they can save time for doing other things. Other

students, however, might need to listen to the same dialogue again and again to understand it. Using

iPads is especially helpful to students who are learning a language at different paces.

The

students

who

are

using

the

new

tool

in

some

courses

are

also

happy.

They

believe

that

using iPads is a more enjoyable way to learn (such as listening to stories and watching movies). The

class has become much more interesting and creative.

There

are

other

advantages

for

students.

By

using

iPads,

they

can

pay

more

attention

to

the

material and learn more. Teaching notes are stored in their iPads and are easy to find .Some students

spend more time studying now.

“I can listen

to my language material or watch teaching videos on the

bus, instead of having to wait until I get home,” a student explained.

Many adults complain that technologies such as iPads are doing harm to students. They worry

that students might use iPads to download teaching notes and use them to cheat during exams. Some

believe that iPads may separate students from each other. If a student spends more time watching

videos on an iPad, he will have fewer opportunities to have face-to-face communication with others.

However, tec

hnologies are already a part of most students’ day

-to-day

lives. As for cheating,

teachers

can

ask

students

to

hand

in

their

iPads

when

they

take

exams.

Education

needs

to

make

changes

with

the

times

as

technology

is

playing

an

important

part.

We

should

look

forward

to

a

wonderful future when iPads and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom.

does the expression

“

at their own pace

” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. According to their own timetable.

B. Without their teachers’ help.

C. Because of their wonderful goals.

D. Against their parents’ hope.

43. From the passage we can learn that____.

A. students with iPads have less discussion in class

B. students get more fun from learning with iPads

C. iPads help students save time waiting for buses

D. iPads prevent students from cheating in exams

44. The writer probably agrees that____.

A. teach

ers can take control of students’ learning

B. exam results depend a lot on now technology

C. technology in education has a bright future

D. note-taking is as helpful as video-watching

does the passage possibly come from?

A. A shopping advertisement B. A science fiction C. An education magazine D. A textbook
