People often ask me how I write with four children.

More often than not, my stories are pieced together, written, and edited in a series of 36 moments. If I’m working while the kids are home, I have the added 37 of tuning out their chaos. I’ll write and write until I fall unde r a spell, and just when I was getting 38 , it happens—Camille will 39 into my office wearing a big smile—and a smelling diaper (尿布).

I wish I had a daily 40 , a solid time no one can interrupt, but I don’t. I may go days or even weeks without writing. I hate these 41 , but much as I like to believe the world needs my writing, my daughters need me much more. So for now I write when I can. While this arrangement works, I sometimes 42 how productive I’d be if my life wasn’t stop-and-go. With time on my side, I could be a writing machine, 43 at once what would normally take me months.

This leads me to a question I find 44 to all parents:Do kids hold back or 45 our dreams? Children are needy by nature, and regardless of how much 46 we show them, they want more. By the time we tend to them, we’re tired out—and 47 in the mood to follow our dream. They push our personal pleasures 48 and slow us down, making tortoises out of hares.

On the other hand, children add a richness to our lives that I believe inspires better work,

thus 49 for time we lose. As a writer, I don’t find inspiration sitting at my computer. 50 , I find it when I’m out living, and the 51 I take because of my children—going to the ballpark, birthday parties, even doctor visits—put me in 52 with people who constantly set off new ideas. Many ideas arise through 53 conversation, which can 54 me like thunder. Immediately, I’ll make a mental note, knowing that someday I’ll use that 55 in a story. 36.A. quiet B. stolen C. critical D. precious

37.A. courage B. challenge C. instruction D. priority

38.A. direction B. invention C. inspiration D. application

39.A. crawl B. run C. jog D. tiptoe

40.A. habit B. method C. technique D. routine

41.A. breaks B. days C. weeks D. needs

42.A. doubt B. believe C. deny D. wonder

43.A. operating B. working C. accomplishing D. running

44.A. challenging B. remaining C. relevant D. controversial

45.A. prevent B. inspire C. awake D. interpret

46.A. attention B. effort C. concentration D. time

47.A. hardly B. practically C. totally D. fairly

48.A. ahead B. back C. aside D. down

49.A. allowing B. turning C. calling D. compensating

50.A. Still B. Instead C. Therefore D. Consequently

51.A. courses B. chances C. risks D. paths

52.A. harmony B. agreement C. line D. contact

53.A. brief B. normal C. casual D. intelligent

54.A. explode B. hit C. destroy D. multiply

55.A. piece B. talk C. scene D. acquaintance

A

SAN ANTONIO — For Tira Starr, an eighth grader at Anson Jones Middle School, the plastic nametag hanging around her neck that she has decorated with a smiley face and a purple bat sticker offers a way to reflect her personal interest. For administrators, it is something else entirely:a device that lets them use radio frequency technology—with scanners tucked behind walls and ceilings—to track her whereabouts.

Anson Jones is the first school in San Antonio’s Northside Independent School District to roll out the new nametags, which are part of a pilot program (试验项目) intended to ensure that the district receives all of the state dollars.

In Texas, school finance is a numbers game:schools receive money based on the number of students counted in their homeroom classes each morning. At Anson Jones, as at other schools, many students were in school but not in homeroom, so they were not counted and the district lost money, said Pascual Gonzalez, a spokesman for the district.

“We were leaving money on the table,” he said, adding that the district expects a $2 million return on an initial investment of $261,000 in the technology at two pilot schools.

But the radio frequency identification nametags have prompted concerns from civil liberties groups and electronic privacy watchdogs, which fear a Big Brother atmosphere in Texas public schools.

Matthew Simpson, a policy strategist for the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas, said the technology was easy to acquire, meaning people outside a school might be able to monitor a student if they obtained the student’s unique tracking number.

Mr. Simpson said the technology was originally designed for shipping goods and for cattle. “It was never intended for people,” he said.

But students and educators at Anson Jones say they are excited about the practical advantages — getting to eat lunch faster by scanning their bar codes in the lunch line, or being able to locate a child quickly in an emergency.

Northside is not the first district to use the tracking devices. Two Houston-area districts began the program several years ago. The Spring district, for example, started using the technology in 2004 as a way to track elementary students getting on and off buses. It expanded the program to high school students three years ago and has so far recovered $400,000, said Karen Garrison, a spokeswoman for the district.

“Our system still focuses on safety but has the added benefit of recovering average daily attendance funding,” Ms. Garrison said.

Wendy Reyes, the principal of Anson Jones, said only one parent had complained about the program at her school. On the first day of classes at Jay High School, home to the other pilot program school in Northside, several parents staged a protest across the street from the school, though most did not have students in the district.

Many students, teachers and parents at the middle school feel the technology’s benefits outweigh privacy concerns, Ms. Reyes said.

56. This passage is mainly about __________.

A. a pilot program in the US

B. an eighth grader at Anson Jones

C. nametags that track students

D. money invested in technology

57. From the passage we can learn that most students and parents __________ nametags.

A. don’t mind

B. complain about

C. like to decorate

D. refuse to use

58. The author might agree that nametags __________.

A. lead to some schools losing money

B. can help schools’ administration

C. should never be intended for people

D. destroy students’ privacy and ci vil rights

Why Are Pig Farmers Still Using Growth-Promoting Drugs?

It's one of the most controversial practices in agriculture:feeding small amounts of antibiotics to animals in order to make them grow faster. But what if the drugs don't even work very well? There's some good evidence that they don't, at least in pigs. They used to deliver a boost in growth, but that effect has disappeared in recent years or declined greatly. The reason for this is interesting and even paradoxical. Researchers think the antibiotics used to work by suppressing low-grade infections. In recent years, however, pork producers found other ways to accomplish the same thing through improved hygiene (卫生). As a result, the drugs have become largely superfluous — yet many farmers still use them.

To understand how this happened, you have to step back in time, says Steve Dritz, a

specialist in pig nutrition at Kansas State University. Sixty years ago, when antibiotics were new, "people started treating animals, and feeding [the antibiotics], and finding that they had increased growth rates and feed efficiencies," he says. Nursery-age pigs, for instance, grew 12 to 15 percent faster with antibiotics. The animals also needed less feed to reach full weight. Other studies showed similar results in chickens and cattle. In the 1980s, a new set of studies found similar effects. So the growth-promoting effects of antibiotics became standard practice among meat producers.

Fast forward to the 1990s. Dritz was starting his career as a scientist at Kansas State University, and pork production was changing dramatically.

Previously, pigs were born and raised in one barn or in several barns close together. This meant infections could easily pass from one generation to the next, the way that kids share germs between their friends on the playground and their parents at home. Under the new system, when piglets are weaned, they move to a whole different place. That new site is carefully scrubbed and free of disease.

Craig Rowles, who runs a large swine operation in Carroll, Iowa, shows me one such room. There's not a piglet in sight. "This room just got completely washed and disinfected, and now it's going to sit here and dry for a while," he says.

A whole group of pigs will come in here together, and later they will move out together to yet another site. "That group of pigs will stay together until they go to market," Rowles says.

The groups are kept strictly separated from each other. If workers move between the groups, they first have to change their boots.

When farmers adopted multisite production, it cut down on disease —and pigs actually grew faster.

59. One of the advantages of using antibiotics in the past is that it __________.

A. helped animals grow faster

B. decreased the death rate of animals

C. helped animals have a better appetite

D. increased animal reproduction

60. Pigs were more easily infected in the past because __________.

A. they used antibiotics

B. they were always close together

C. they were raised on the playground

D. they moved from one farm to another

61. The underlined word “superfluous” most probably means __________.

A. abused

B. necessary

C. available

D. addictive

62. The author seems __________ on the issue of dropping antibiotics on pigs.

A. optimistic

B. worried

C. doubtful D indifferent

C

Our risk of cancer rises rapidly as we age. So it makes sense that the elderly should be routinely screened for new tumors (肿瘤)or doesn’t it?

While such tracking of cancer is a good thing in general, researchers are increasingly questioning whether all of this testing is necessary for the elderly. With the percentage of people over age 65 expected to nearly double by 2050, it s important to weigh the health benefits of screening against the risks and costs of routine testing.

In many cases, screening can lead to additional examinations and operations to remove

cancer, which can cause side effects, while the cancers themselves may be slow-growing and may not cause serious health problems in patients’ remaining years. But the message that everyone must screen for cancer has become so ingrained (根深蒂固的) that when health care experts recommended that women under 50 and over 74 stop screening for breast cancer, it caused a noisy reaction among doctors, patients and social groups.

It’s hard to uproot deeply-held beliefs about cancer screening with scientific data. Certainly, there are people over age 75 who have had cancers detected by routine screening, and gained several extra years of life because of treatment. And clearly, people over age 75 who have other risk factors for cancer, such as a family history or previous personal experience with the disease, should continue to get screened regularly. But for the rest, the risk of cancer, while increased at the end of life, must be balanced with other factors like remaining life expectancy.

A recent study suggests that doctors start to make more objective decisions about who will truly benefit from screening—especially considering the explosion of the elderly.

It’s not an easy calcul ation to make, but one that makes sense for patients. Dr. Otis Brawley said, “Many doctors are ordering these tests purely to cover themselves from medical disputes. We need to think about the wise use of health care, which means making some difficult decisions with elderly patients, and going against the misguided belief that when it comes to health care, more is always better.”

63. Routine cancer screening for the elderly people makes sense because ______.

A. it is believed to contribute to a long life

B. it is part of their health care package

C. they are more sensitive about the health

D. they are in greater danger of tumor growth

64. How do some researchers now look at routine cancer screening for the elderly?

A. It adds too much to their medical bills.

B. They are doubtful about its necessity.

C. It helps increase their life expectancy.

D. They think it does more harm than good.

65. What is the traditional view about women screening for breast cancer?

A. It is a must for adult women.

B. It applies to women over 50.

C. It is intended for young women.

D. It doesn’t apply to women over 74.

66. What does the writer say is the general view about health care?

A. Better care, longer life.

B. Prevention is better than cure.

C. Better early than late.

D. The more, the better.

D

The man with the bullhorn encouraged the runners as they made their way up the hill. “Two hours, fifteen minutes, forty seconds . . .”His deep, loud voice boomed toward us.

It was mile 17 of the marathon.

“Hey, great stride!” a bearded viewer yelled to me. He clapped loudly. “You’re looking strong. Keep going—go, go, go!”

You bet I’m looking strong, I thought, as I followed my younger sister, Laura. I just got started. She had been diligently clocking eight-minute miles since the race had begun downtown. Initially in the middle of a pack, which was several thousand people, she had been steadily passing other runners for the past 10 miles or so. We were now on the relatively steep rise to the St. Cecelia Bridge. Once we crossed, we would begin heading back into town,

running along the east side of the Rincon River. Laura had asked me to run the most difficult section of the marathon with her. Not having trained for anything more challenging than a quick walk, and with no experience running in organized events, I figured I might be good for two or three miles.

Up ahead, steel drums were playing. A group of drummers was beating their drums, chanting, and encouraging us with their music and smiles. Crossing the bridge, I recalled the advice in the Marathon Handbook. During my preview of the route, it had seemed like a babyish thing to do. But now it seemed like a fine idea, and I spat magnificently over the side of the bridge.

“I read the handbook, too!” said a woman behind me, who also let loose over the side of the bridge. We had now started a chain reaction of bridge spitters. It was quite a sight, but I had other things to occupy my attention, namely the back of Laura’s sweater.

Easing off the bridge, and heading south on Avila Boulevard, Laura and I found our pace together again. Here we could hang to the left of the group and enjoy some brief conversation. “You keeping up okay?” she asked. Being her older brother, and therefore unable to admit weakness, I nodded convincingly.

“Hey, Lee!” yelled a waving man on the sidewalk. Immediately pleased that my marathon efforts had been recognized by someone I knew, I waved back and reflected on the importance of wearing tie-dyed clothing to a road race of this size. It made it a lot easier to be spotted!

The town marathon is a “people’s” marathon in that it tends to be a family affair, with the runners and spectators creating a festival atmosphere. I managed to run six miles before bowing out, and Laura finished the entire race in under four hours. I now pride myself on telling

people that I ran in a marathon. The distinction between having run a marathon and having run in a marathon seems unimportant. If pressed, however, I’ll admit that I only ran one-fourth of one.

Inspired by this y ear’s experience, I plan to walk the course—really fast—next year. It’s not because I’m jealous of my sister’s accomplishment. This is not some silly competition in which I must do whatever she does. Rather, Laura got free cookies at the finish line, and the promise of that will lead me to any goal.

67. Why did the author write this story?

A. to explain how marathons are won

B. to tell about the history of marathons

C. to tell a story about a marathon experience

D. to show how difficult running in a marathon can be

68. Why was Lee glad he wore a tie-dyed shirt?

A. It helped people locate him easily.

B. The shirt brought him good luck.

C. It added to the festival atmosphere.

D. The shirt was a favorite of Laura’s.

69. Which of the following words best describes Laura as she is presented in this passage?

A. competitive

B. foolish

C. comical

D. carefree

70. The tone of this passage is best described as _______.

A. tense and anxious

B. light and friendly

C. matter-of-fact

D. uninterested and bored

Third-generation mobile phones, known as 3G, are the next big step for the telecom industry. Date speed in 3G networks is much quicker than that in present technology. This means users can have high-speed Internet access and enjoy video and CD-quality music on their phones. 20 “Mobile data is not a dream; it’s not an option but a requirement,” said Len Lauer, head of a US communications company, Sprint PCS, at a 3G conference in Bangkok earlier this month. With3G, you can forget about text messages telling you yesterday’s news; a 3G phone can receive video news programs, updated four times a day. Internet access will also be much quicker, making it easier to surf the Web on your phone than on your computer at home. Face-to-face video calls Don’t worry about getting lost, 3G phones offer map services so you can find a new restaurant just by pressing a few keys on your handset. However, the most impressive part of 3G technology is video calling. With live two-way video communication, you can have face-to-face talks with friends and family on your mobile phone. Many European countries have already launched the service. In May 2000 the US Government issued five licenses to run 3G wireless services, while the first 3G phones arrived in Italy in March this year. International telecom companies can’t wait to sell 3G in China, the world’s largest mobile telecommunications market. But they will have to be patient. At the moment, China is busy

testing its 3G-based technologies, networks and services. This will be followed by a trial period before the phones can finally hit the shops. “We need to create a pool of 3G customers before the larg e-scale commercial launch of the service,” said Fan Yunjun, marketing manager for Beijing Mobile. “We expect that the 3G licenses will be issued late next year.”

Third-generation mobile phones (3G mobile phones)

(71)______________Date speed:(72)____________ to the Internet more quickly

Video and (73)_____________ music

Video news programs:(74)__________ four times a day

Impressive (75)________Offering map services, (76)__________you getting lost (77)_______ ___ two-way video communication for you
