Ive bought them a laptop, paid for broadband(宽带), given them both mobile phones and a digital camera, but they wont use them. My parents say they hate computers and new technology. What can I do with these “technophobes”? Daniel, Buremburg, Germany Actually, the original technophobes were the Luddites, a group of cloth workers in 19th century Britain during the Industrial Revolution. The Luddite cloth workers, who traditionally made cloth by hand, were worried that machines were going to take away their jobs and way of life. These machines could make cloth much faster and cheaper than humans. In 1811 and 1812 the Luddites destroyed the machines, but the British government supported the factory owners. Many Luddites were arrested. Charlotte Brontes novel Shirley will tell your parents all about it. Laura, Valencia, Spain Laura makes some interesting points, I think. Technophobes has been a common theme in science fiction. Frankenstein(科学怪人), one of the first science fiction, is a warning of what could happen if humans began to experiment with human life. Freda, Copenhagen, Denmark One thing you could try is to find hardware that is designed for older people to use. An example is the mobiles made by the US company, Jitterbug. Instead of icons（图标) and menus the Jitterbug phones ask users simple “yes/no” questions and have larger keypads. The company realized that there are potentially 100 million older users in the US alone. Graham, Patras, Greece 41. The underlined part “the technophobes” in the passage refers to _.

Daniel worried about her children using e-mails. CYou might say that one reason Barack Obama is the President of the US is because he knows how to give a good speech. In 2004, when Massachusetts Senator(参议员) John Kerry was the Democratic Partys nominee（被提名者） for the presidency, a little-known senator from Illinois gave the keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention. That senator was Obama. It was a remarkable speech - poetic, and inspiring. The people who heard it would remember it for a long time. Since 2004, Obama has written and delivered thousands of speeches. These are usually praised for two reasons: he treats the audiences like intelligent adults, and he is able to express complicated ideas in an easy, natural way. Before becoming president, Obama was a lawyer, a college professor, and a successful writer - his two memoirs(回忆录) have become best-sellers. The skills he needed to succeed in his previous jobs have also contributed to his success as a speechmaker. Writing team: Obama has a team of people who write his speeches. The writers chat with Obama for hours about what he wants to say. They listen to recordings of past presidential addresses and seek advice from advisers. Obama usually edits（校订） and rewrites the drafts several times. Obamas tricks for a lighthearted speech that stays on message:Make fun of the guests. Obama starts his speech by gently teasing his guests. His opening lines grab the audiences attention while giving them an opportunity to relax and laugh at themselves and each other. Make fun of yourself. A good rule for speechmakers: If youre going to make a joke about someone else, be sure to make one about yourself, too. Obama mocks（嘲弄） his own poor choices for filling the position of Commerce Secretary, saying, No President in history has ever named three Commerce Secretaries this quickly.”46. Obama made the poetic and inspiring speech in 2004 as_. A. president B. a nominee for the presidencyC. a senator D. a secretary47. Whats the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 2?A. Difficult to understand. B. Easy to understand. C. Different from others D. Interesting to say. 48. According to the passage, we know that before becoming president, _. A. Obama was once a lawyer, a doctor and a college professor.B. Obama was a successful writer.C. Obamas three memoirs have become best-sellers.D. Obamas former jobs have nothing to do with his speech.49. According to paragraph 3, we know that _. A. Obama writes his speech himself. B. the writers chat with Obama only for minutes before writing. C. the writers never listen to recordings of past presidential speeches. D. Obama is serious with his speech. 50. Whats the best title of the passage?A. Secret of Obamas successful speeches. B. Obamas successful speeches. C. Obamas way of making speeches. D. Problems of Obamas speeches. DGrown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins Twinkle, twinkle, little star or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears. One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated（陈述） as follows: Once we have learned something, additional(额外的) learning trials(尝试)increase the length(长度) of time we will remember it. In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as Twinkle, twinkle, little star and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn. The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception(例外) to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood. The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for ones future development. 51. What is the main idea of paragraph 1?A. People remember well what they learned in childhood. B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups. C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words. D. Stories for children arc easy to remember. 52. The author explains the law of overlearning by_. A. presenting research findingsB. setting down general rulesC. making a comparisonD. using examples53. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_. A. a result of overlearningB. a special case of crammingC. a skill to deal with math problemsD. a basic step towards advanced studies54. What does the word they in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Commonly accepted rules. B. The multiplication tables. C. Things easily forgotten. D. School subjects. 55. What is the authors opinion on cramming?A. It leads to failure in college exams. B. Its helpful only in a limited way. C. Its possible to result in poor memory. D. It increases students learning interest. 第卷（非选择题 共50分）一、 阅读填空。每空填一个词，共10空。每空1分，共10分。There was a big storm after midnight and the rain poured down.We stayed inside the shelter we had built and let the raft sail down the river.Suddenly,by the light of the lightning,we saw something in the middle of the river.It looked like a house at first,but then we realized it was a steamboat.It had hit a rock and was half in and half out of the water.We were sailing straight towards it.“It looks as if itll go under soon,”Jim said,after a couple of minutes.“Lets go and take a look,” I said.“I dont want to board a sinking ship,” said Jim,but when I suggested that we might find something useful on the boat, he agreed to go.So we paddled over and climbed on to the steamboat, keeping as quiet as mice.To our astonishment, there was a light in one of the cabins.Then we heard someone shout, “Oh please boys,dont kill me! I wont tell anybody!”A mans angry voice answered, “Youre lyling.You said that last time.Were going to kill you.”When he heard these words,Jim panicked and ran to the raft.But although I was frightened, I also felt very curious, so I put my head round the door.It was quite dark,but I could see a man lying on the floor, tied up with rope.There were two men standing over him.One was short,with a beard. The other was tall and had something in his hand that looked like a gun.“Ive had enough of you.Im going to shoot you now,” this man said. He was obviously the one who had threatened the man on the floor. And it was a gun he had in his hand.
