When I learned that my 71-year-old mother was playing Scrabble—a word game—against herself, I knew I had to do something. My husband suggested we give her a computer to play against. I wasn’t sure my mother was ready for it. After all, it had taken 15 years to persuade her to buy an electric cooker. Even so, we packed up our old computer and delivered it to my parents’ home. And so began my mother’s adventure in the world of computers. It also marked the beginning of an unusual teaching task for me. I’d taught people of all ages, but I never thought I would be teaching my mother how to do anything. She had been the one teaching me all my life: to cook and sew, to enjoy the good times and put up with the bad. Now it was my turn to give something back. It wasn’t easy at the beginning. There was so much to explain and to introduce. Slowly but surely, my mother caught on, making notes in a little notebook. After a few months of Scrabble and other games, I decided it was time to introduce her to word processing. This proved to be a bigger challenge to her, so I gave her some homework. I asked her to write me a letter, using different letter types, colors and spaces. “Are you this demanding with your kindergarten pupils?” she asked. “No, of course not,” I said. “They already know how to use a computer.” My mother isn’t the only one experiencing a fast personal growth period. Thanks to the computer, my father has finally got over his phone allergy. For as long as I can remember, any time I called, my mother would answer. Dad and I have had more phone conversations in the last two months than we’ve had in the past 20 years. 【1】Why did the author decide to give her mother a computer? A.To help her through the bad times. B.To make her life more enjoyable. C.To support her in doing her homework. D.To let her have more chances to write letters. 【2】What does the author do according to the text? A.She is a teacher. B.She is a cook. C.She is a housewife. D.She is a computer engineer. 【3】Why did the author ask her mother to write her a letter? A.To keep in touch with her mother. B.To free her mother from heavy housework. C.To practice what her mother had learned. D.To prevent her mother from using the telephone. 【4】What happened to the author’s father after the computer was brought home? A.He played even more games. B.He became skilled at it. C.He lost interest in cooking. D.He took more phone calls. |

Some people like modern art, while others say that it is rubbish. But a cleaner who works in the Tate Britain Gallery in London isn’t able to tell the difference. The woman, whose name isn’t known, mistook a work of art by the German painter Gustav Metzger for a bag of rubbish, and threw it out with other bags. The plastic bag, which contained pieces of paper and cardboard, was later recovered outside the gallery, but the artist thought that it was too badly damaged to be put on show again, and so he found another bag. 78-year-old Mr. Metzger explained that the exhibit, which he said was a copy of a similar work he had created in 1960, was meant to show that all art is temporary (暂时的). Embarrassed officials at the museum said that they had had to call a meeting with cleaners to explain which things should not be touched. They would not say whether Mr. Metzger would be paid for the incident. However, to make absolutely sure the same thing would not happen again, they decided to cover Mr. Metzger’s work every evening with a coloured cloth. In this way cleaners arriving after the gallery had closed to the general public would realize that they should not touch it. This is not the first time that museum cleaners have had trouble distinguishing exhibits from rubbish. In 2001, in another London gallery, a cleaner threw away a work by the well-known British artist Damien Hirst. It was an arrangement of empty beer bottles, coffee cups, and ashtrays (烟灰缸), which were meant to show the disorder in the life of an artist. However, cleaners don’t always throw things away—sometimes they clean them! This was the case with a dirty bath, which was on show in a gallery in Germany. Without asking what the bath was doing in the gallery, the cleaner simply cleaned it. 【1】The woman cleaner threw away the plastic bag because__________. A.the plastic bag was badly damaged B.she didn’t recognize it was a work of art C.she hated modern art and considered it rubbish D.The exhibit on show was taken the place of by another bag 【2】The underlined word “distinguishing” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_______”. A.collecting B.replacing C.telling D.exchanging 【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A.Mr Metzger would be paid some money for the incident. B.Tate British Gallery will be closed to avoid the same mistake. C.Artists often use rubbish to show how content they feel with life. D.More than one cleaner threw away works of art in galleries. 【4】What might be the best title for the passage? A.Cleaner Mistakes Modern Art for Rubbish B.Good Cleaners Make Mistakes C.Damaged Modern Art Works D.Dangerous Galleries and Cleaners |

Thousands of people living in the Chinese capital will celebrate the start of the Chinese New year by heading for the ski resorts (滑雪场). Never mind that Beijing’s dry weather seldom produces snow. It is cold enough in winter for snow-making machines to make a covering for the hills north to the capital. And the rapid growth of a pleasure-seeking middle class has formed the basis for this new craze(热潮). Since Beijing’s first ski resort was opened ten years ago, the sport has enjoyed astonishing increase. There are now more than a dozen resorts. Clothes markets in the city have added bright colored ski suits to their winter collections. Mr. Wei, a manager of a newly-opened ski resort in Beijing, sees the growth of an industry that could soon lead Chinese to head for the ski resorts of Europe. In recent years, ski resorts offering natural snow have opened in China. But many are in faraway areas of the country and can’t really match the equipment and services of some ski resorts in Europe. Beijing’s skiing craze is partly a result of the recent increase in private (私有的) cars. This has led to the growth of a leisure industry in the capital’s suburbs (郊区), which until the late-1990s were unreachable to ordinary people. According to Mr. Wei, about 40% of the visitors to his resort come in their own cars. The rest are bused in by schools, businesses or government offices. The problem is making money. Starting ski resorts requires quite a lot of money; hiring land from the local government, preparing the hills, buying snow machines, making sure there are enough water and electricity to run them, and buying ski equipment for hiring out to customers. The ski resort where Mr. Wei works cost nearly $4 million to set up. And as so often in China when someone comes up with a good idea, many others rush in and price wars break out. Beijing now offers some of the cheapest ski training classes in the world, though with most people rather new to the sport, expecting a few more doing the same job. 【1】What does this text mainly talk about? A.Convenience for skiers brought about by private cars. B.Skiing as a new way of enjoying one's spare time. C.Things to be considered when starting a ski resort. D.A sudden increase of ski training classes in Beijing. 【2】Why are some Chinese likely to go skiing in Europe? A.To visit more ski areas. B.To ski on natural snow. C.For a large collection of ski suits. D.For better services and equipment. 【3】The underlined words “leisure industry” in Paragraph 3 refer to A.transport to ski resorts B.production of family cars C.business of providing spare time enjoyments D.part-time work for people living in the suburbs 【4】What is the main problem in running a ski resort? A.Difficulty in hiring land． B.Lack of business experience． C.Price wars with other ski resorts D.Shortage of water and electricity. |

Last week the electricity in my flat went out. This left me in complete darkness the whole night. 【1】 But that night this wasn’t possible. My roommate and I weren’t prepared with candles and matches. We just rely on electricity. So for me it was an early night. 【2】 Losing our electricity felt like losing a basic necessity, as basic as running water. But really, electricity is a luxury (奢侈品) that we’ve grown to take for granted. I use electricity all the time, even when it’s not really necessary. 【3】 And as I’m writing this, I have my lights on, even in the middle of the day when I don’t really need them. 【4】 It contributes to global warming. It is harming our environment and we need to do what we can to stop it. Not only that, but if we continue to use the same large amount of energy, we will soon run out of it. How would we survive in a world without electricity? Our daily lives go around it. We wouldn’t be able to function. 【5】 So, shouldn’t we start preparing for it now? Cutting down on our use of electricity would save energy resources so that they could last for longer. A.Our overuse of electricity is a big problem. B.Suddenly, we were left with nothing to do. C.Yet we know one day we will run out of it. D.It’s time for us to cut down on our use of electricity. E.I couldn’t help but think, do we rely too much on electricity? F.I turn on the TV in the background even when I’m not watching it. G.My typical evening is spent watching TV and reading social media. |
