9、uld mean a great deal to him. I agreed.During the nine-mile drive to his home I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy(肌肉萎缩症). When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to see five, then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen.

10、 He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my dreams.I spent over one hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what

11、he was talking about. He didnt mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weight with me.When we finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I won and put

12、it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my o

13、wn medal, I will show it to you.”Last summer I received a letter from Matthews parents telling me that Matthew had passed away.

14、o let you know that the doctors tell me that I dont have long to live anymore. But I still smile as much as I can.I told you someday I was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal. But I know now I will never get to do that. But I know Im a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, G

15、od will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you. Thank you for loving me.Yours,Matthew4. The boy wanted to meet the author because _.A. he was interested in weight lifting B. he wanted to get a gold medalC. he admired the author very much D. he wanted the author to know him5.

16、The underlined part in the third paragraph probably means “_.”A. Why do you come to see me? B. Why do I have to stay at home?C. Why does the disease fall on me D. Why not give a gold medal to me6. We can infer from the passage that _.A. Matthew is a determined boy B. Rick used to have the same disea

17、seC. Matthew became a champion finally D. Rick regarded Matthew as normal7. The boy refused the authors medal because _.A. he was not worthy of it B. he would not be pitied by othersC. he knew he would die soon D. he thought he himself could earn one in the futureCTsunamis(海啸) are one of the most te

18、rrifying natural phenomena that the world suffers. The series of waves produced by the displacement(位移) of a large volume of water can be caused by several events, including earthquakes, underwater explosions and landslides. Once triggered (引发), a tsunami can hit the coast within minutes and its des

19、tructive power can be enormous.At present, early warning systems rely on measuring the movement of dart buoys(浮标), which record changes in the sea level, or assessing the bottom water pressure of the developing tsunami. But they require the tsunami to physically reach the measurement location. The b

20、uoys could be fixed in the deep ocean, but this requires an unrealistically big number of buoys. Or people can fix the buoys along the shoreline, but due to the high speed of the tsunami, this method may leave no warning time for people on the land.Instead, there is a new system - using sound waves

21、to predict tsunamis. Sound waves caused by an earthquake can travel much faster than the tsunami that has been triggered. Using standard underwater microphones, we can record these sound waves long before the tsunami arrives regardless of the direction in which the tsunami will travel. The sound sig

22、nals come from changes in pressure, so what we actually analyze is a series of data on how the pressure is changing overtime. Though buoys also show changes in pressure, the tsunami front must actually reach the buoys to inform us that there is an increase in the water surface. By using underwater m

23、icrophones，however, we only need to catch the sound signals.Though the idea of using sound waves to predict tsunamis has been put forward previously, the key to our idea is a new mathematical method that can be used to analyze these recorded sound signals in near real-time. Once this is worked out,

24、we can not only warn people of a tsunami but also more accurately estimate its size long before it reaches the shoreline.7. From Paragraph 1, we know .A. what can trigger off tsunamisB. how to predict tsunamis effectivelyC. why tsunamis are the worst natural disasterD. how to protect the coastal are

27、disasterDChildren are excited to find brightly wrapped(包装的) presents under the tree on Christmas morning. They cant wait to open the wrapping and get the toys that were on their wish lists, such as toy cars. But after the excitement wears off, those toys are usually left to the corner of the toy box

28、 and the kids are searching for something else to do. But it doesnt have to be that way.A study from the University of Toronto found that giving your child experiences as a gift, instead of toys, improves your childs intelligence and makes stronger parent-child bonds. “Often the focus is only on whe

29、ther someone likes a gift rather than focusing on a fundamental purpose of gift giving. Knowing that will foster(培养) relationships between the giver and the receiver,”said lead researcher Cindy Chan.Chan suggested that when you are buying a holiday gift or birthday gift, you should buy something tha

30、t kids can experience with you. This can be movie or concert tickets, a CD from a performance you already saw to keep the memory alive. For example, for kids, a trip to a museum, going ice-skating or a book that the family can read together over and over again are valuable gifts.It is found that giv

31、ing your kids too many toys can be counterproductive(适得其反) and make kids at a loss.The best way to make kids happy is to spend time together.So, if you want happy and intelligent kids, spending time with them and making memories are the best gifts you can give them. Thats not to say that there shoul
