I took a deep breath and walked through the front door, my arms full of groceries. A challenge lay ahead of me, someone who could hardly boil water: cooking the Easter Sunday dinner. What if I made everyone sick? It could truly be our family’s last super meal. Making the holiday meal was my brother’s job, not mine. I could never fill his shoes. Peter had died in September at the age of 45 from a heart attack, but he’d been a natural in the kitchen all his life. He planned every course in detail, from the crescent rolls to the Dutch apple pie. My family was lost without him, and we went out to dinner for Thanksgiving and ordered pizza for Christmas. By the time Easter rolled around, though, I couldn’t bear the idea of another holiday surrounded by takeout (外卖食品) boxes. Peter would have hated that. To him, there was nothing more important than a meal made with love. So I convinced Mom that we should cook Easter dinner together. But we were terrible cooks. I had been thinking what to cook for Easter dinner. I’d bitten off more than I could chew. No one could do this half as well as Peter. I stepped into the family room. Mom was still at church, but her newspaper was opened on the coffee table, to the sports section, as usual. She was a huge Notre Dame women’s basketball fan, and the featured story was about the forward Devereaux Peters. I read the headline and nearly dropped my grocery bags, Filling Peters’ Shoes. That afternoon, cooking in the kitchen, I didn’t feel so alone. Mom and I pulled together and the Easter feast was not that bad. The ham may have been a little dry, but it was all made with love— just like Peter would have wanted. 【1】What would Peter have preferred to do if holidays had come? A.To go out to have dinner. B.To order pizza. C.To show off his cooking skills. D.To cook a big dinner for his family. 【2】The text tells us that ____________. A.the Easter dinner was the family’s last dinner B.Mom persuaded the author to cook the Easter dinner C.Peter enjoyed cooking a dinner with love D.their Easter dinner this year was a complete failure 【3】By saying “I’d bitten off more than I could chew.” in Paragraph 4, the author means __________. A.she wasn’t confident in cooking the Easter dinner B.she was not able to eat a lot of food C.the Easter dinner made her sick D.she couldn’t cook the dinner alone 【4】What might be the best title for the text ? A.Cooking in the Kitchen B.Filling Peter’s Shoes C.Happy Easter Day D.Terrible Cooks |

Timing is everything. This is especially true when a student is seeking admission to a college or university and it can often be a long and complex process in the United States. Many people think the process begins in the final year of high school. However, students should start taking action well before that. In the US, young people generally attend high school for four years. It's suggested that students take their first step toward applying to college in the months before their third year. At this point, young people are still likely to have several unanswered questions in their mind. Those questions could be as complex as"What do you want out of your college experience? " or as simple as"Where do you want to study? Students can get closer to finding the answers by visiting any college or university. The next step involves testing. Most US students take exams to prove their level of academic performance in the second half of their third year. After taking these tests, the period between the third and fourth years of high school is busy. This is the time when they should narrow the list of colleges and universities under consideration. Once they have made a shorter list, they should contact these schools Then, students should begin working on a writing sample. Most US colleges and universities require applicants to provide a writing sample that does more than show off their writing ability. It should also tell admissions officers more about who the applicants are. So students should begin working on it even before their final year of high school Finally, in the United States, most deadlines for college application materials are in early winter. Students should hand in all their application materials a week before the actual date. That way if any emergencies come up, students have plenty of time to contact the schools. Spring is when most schools make their decisions and inform students if they will accept them. 【1】When should American high school students begin to apply to college? A.In the final year B.At the end of the second year. C.In the second half of the third year D.After the early winter of the third year. 【2】Why may students be busy between the third and fourth years of high school? A.To prepare a writing sample B.To prepare application materials C.To make a list of colleges and universities D.To take tests to prove their academic abilities 【3】What is the function of a writing sample? A.It shows the student how to contact schools B.It shows the student how to write an application C.It helps admissions officers get to know the student D.It helps the student solve some unanswered questions 【4】What is the best title for the text? A.College Life and Study B.Time Arrangement in High School C.High School Life: Valuing the Experience D.College Application: Getting the Timing Right |

A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech integrated systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks. “It’s extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components (元件),” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own,” he said. They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it’s connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured. While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield. “Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around,” he said. Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead,” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day to day basis.” 【1】The difficulty the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was that __________. A.they had no model in their mind B.they did not have sufficient time C.they had no ready-made components D.they could not assemble the components 【2】It can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that the robotic fly __________. A.consists of a flight device and a control system B.can just fly in limited areas at the present time C.can collect information from many sources D.has been put into wide application 【3】Which of the following can be learned from the passage? A.The robotic flyer is designed to learn about insects. B.Animals are not allowed in biological experiments. C.There used to be few ways to study how insects fly. D.Wood’s design can replace animals in some experiments. 【4】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A.Father of Robotic Fly B.Inspiration from Engineering Science C.Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life Insect D.Harvard Breaks Through in Insect Study |
