2、he sport after losing a leg in a car accident. Now, nine years later, he helps other disabled (伤残的) people learn how to ride the waves in AmpSurf. On the coast of Maine, he is working with 27-year-old Matthew Fish, who is partly blind. Cummings takes hold of Fish and leads him into the ocean. The su

3、rfboard floats next to them. Fish lies on the surfboard. He tries to stand up on it. After a few attempts (尝试) he is up and riding all the way back to land. “That was exciting,” Fish says. A car accident in 2002 took Dana Cummings leg. He says the crash changed him more than just physically. “Losing

4、 my leg made me realize how precious (珍贵的) life is and get off the couch and start living. I do more things now than I ever did before. Next week I am going to compete in a contest in Hawaii,” Dana says. One year later Dana Cummings formed AmpSurf. AmpSurf is a group that volunteers to hold surfing

They came from all over the northeastern United States. Dana Cummings thinks AmpSurf can change the way a disabled person thinks.

9、listened to music on an iPod? Used a computer at home? Those are just two of the ways your life was touched by the work of Steve Jobs. Jobs, one founder of Apple Computers, died on Wednesday, October 5, 2011 at the age of 56. He had been fighting with cancer since 2004. Steven Jobs was born in Los A

10、ltos, California. He and his childhood friend, Steve Wozniak, designed and built the first Apple computer in his parents garage in the 1970s. The Apple II, built when Jobs was just 21 years old, was the first personal computer to be widely sold to the public. Steven Jobs didnt stop there. He went on

11、 to invent more devices (设备) that allowed people to bring their own creativity to computing: the Macintosh, the iPod, the iPhone, the iPad. People found his products beautiful and easy to use. Jobs also changed the music and film industries. He started Pixar, a film production company in 1986. Toy S

12、tory was the worlds first computer-animated feature film (电脑动画电影). “Steve was among the greatest of American innovators brave enough to think differently, confident enough to believe he could change the world, and clever enough to do it,” said President Barack Obama. “By making computers personal an

13、d putting the Internet in our pockets, he made the information revolution not only easy to reach, but fun . And there may be no greater praise to Steves success than the fact that much of the world learned of his death on a device he invented.” All around the world, people are talking about the effe

14、cts that Jobs creations have had. By creating products that surprised people, he changed the way people worked and lived their everyday lives.5. Which of the following about Steve Jobs is NOT true?A. He was born in California in 1955.B. He built the Apple II in 1970.C. He set up a film production co

15、mpany at 31.D. He was found to suffer from cancer at 49.6. The underlined word “innovators” in Paragraph 6 could best be replaced by _.A. inventors B. businessmen C. producers D. founders7. According to Barack Obama, the highest praise for Steve Jobs is that _.A. his products are widely used all ove

16、r the worldB. his products are thought to be beautiful and easy to useC. people all over the world are sad at his deathD. people learned about his death from his products8. Jobs changed the way we work and live by _.A. building the first personal computer B. making computer-animated feature filmsC.

17、developing the music industry D. creating surprising products C Its a sure sign that summer is over and winter is on the way leaves that were once deep green turn red, yellow and bright orange. It happens every autumn. But did you ever wonder why? The leaves start changing color when the nights star

18、t getting longer and the temperature starts getting cooler. Some scientists think that as the number of daylight hours shrinks, the leaves stop making chlorophyll which makes plants green. The reason is that the process of making chlorophyll requires sunlight. But according to horticulture (园艺) educ

19、ator Susan Rose from Colorado State University, it turns out leaves dont really change color at all. “The fall colors are actually there all along,” she said. “But they are covered by the green chlorophyll. As the chlorophyll stops being produced, the other colors can shine through.” The kind of col

20、or that the leaves are going to change to is determined by the plants genetic (基因的) background. In some places, the leaves start changing color in September before autumn even officially begins. In other places, they dont change until late October or even November. Some scientists say the leaves hav

21、e been changing color later than usual in recent years. And they think global warming has something to do with that. In one study, researchers found that the growing season in the Northern Hemisphere was nearly a week longer, on average, in 2008 than it was in 1982. And a professor from Harvard Univ

22、ersity found that the leaves, west of Boston, Massachusetts, are changing color about three days later than they used to. However, other scientists disagree with the global warming theory. Susan Rose said the leaves in her part of Colorado are changing “right on schedule.” But the leaves in other pa

23、rts of that state are running a little late. “The lateness in the mountains may have something to do with the really warm late summer and early fall,” she said. “But Im afraid thats just a guess.”9. According to Susan Rose, _.A. the fall colors are always in leavesB. leaves make chlorophyll all the

24、seasonsC. leaves changing color have nothing to with the weatherD. leaves begin changing color because they start making chlorophyll10. The underlined word “shrinks” in Paragraph 2 could best be replaced by _.A. reduces B. increases C. lasts D. appears11. Scientists guess leaves change color later t

25、han usual probably as a result of _.A. genetic background B. dry weatherC. global warming D. low temperature12. The purpose of the last paragraph is to tell readers _.A. why leaves change color at fall B. leaves change color at different timeC. the effects of the global warming on plantsD. different

26、 opinions on the lateness of leaves changing colorD Since people first sent rockets into space in the 1950s, we have been leaving behind all sorts of things. Some of them, like the camera, were lost by astronauts while they did work outside their spaceship. But much of the space junk is made up of l

27、ittle pieces of things that were once bigger objects, until they struck each other and broke apart. Some things we send into space fall back toward the earth and burn up in the atmosphere. But larger pieces sometimes survive the extreme heat and hit the ground or the ocean at great speeds. So there

28、is always concern that something may fall from the sky and do some harm. But space junk falling on housetops (屋顶) is not the biggest worry. Scientists are concerned about what happens when an empty rocket strikes another while orbiting (绕轨道飞行) the earth. Two big things become many smaller things. Th

29、ey then hit other things. The pieces get smaller and smaller until they form a cloud of junk that blocks the path of future space vehicles. So what can be done to clean up the space around our planet? Marco Castronuovo, an Italian researcher, talks about sending a satellite into space that would get

30、 very close to some of the larger pieces of space junk. The satellite would connect a small rocket to the useless object. When the rocket explodes, it pushes the junk into a lower and slower orbit, nearer the earth. After a time, the junk burns up in the atmosphere. Mr. Castronuovo has proposed (提议)

31、 using a number of small satellites with robotic arms. One arm would catch the space junk, and another arm would connect the rocket. He imagines that each satellite would jump from one large piece of junk to another. He thinks this method could destroy about ten large objects each year.Scientists ha

32、ve been concerned about space junk for many years. Right now, the costs of the clean-up have been too great. Mr. Castronuovo says his system could be put in place for a much more reasonable amount of money.13. Much of the space junk _.A. was thrown by the astronauts B. is from broken spaceshipC. is made up of small pieces of things D. returns to the earth piece by piece14. Scientists are most worried that t
