Steve Jobs, the former chief executive of Apple, announced his resignation as head of Apple on Aug．24, 2011．The following is the letter from Steve Jobs to the Apple board．
To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:
I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the f irst to let you know．Unfortunately, that day has come．
I hereby resign as CEO of Apple．I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee．
As far as my successor（继任者）goes, I strongly recommend that we execute（执行）our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple．
I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative（创意改革的）days are ahead of it．And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role．
I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you．
Steve Tim Cook, the newly appointed CEO of Apple, sent an email to the troops after Steve Jobs stepped down．Below is the full text of the email．
Team:
I am looking forward to the amazing opportunity of serving as CEO of the most innovative company in the world．Joining Apple was the best decision I’ve ever made and it’s been the privilege of a lifetime to work for Apple and Steve for over 13 years．I share Steve’s optimism for Apple’s bright future．Steve has been an incredible leader and mentor to me, as well as to the entire executive team and our amazing employees．We are really looking forward to Steve’s ongoing guidance and inspiration as our Chairman．

I love Apple and I am looking forward to diving into my new role．All of the incredible support from the Board, the executive team and many of you has been inspiring．I am confident our best years lie ahead of us and that together we will continue to make Apple the magical place that it is．
Tim Cook, 50, once served in IBM and Compaq before he joined Apple in 1998．He was promoted to the
chief operating officer in 2007 and has been the real CEO responsible for most of Apple’s day-to-day operations during Job’s medical leaves．

Working outside the International Space Station （ISS）, an astronaut is suddenly hit by a piece of space debris（碎片）that damages his spacesuit．Alarmed, he realizes he’s just seconds from disaster．Moving fast, his prepared robot partner slaps（拍打）an auto-patch over the tear in his spacesuit．Huge sighs of relief fill the ISS．Inside, the astronaut responsible for saving the spacewalker’s life controls everything the robot avatar has done — including rescuing its human partner — while it works outside the space station．
R2:The Real Deal
A robot companion can come in handy to space travelers, whether they’re as far away as Mars or as close as a space station or moon base．Space-travelling avatars, controlled remotely by humans are still a concept．But earlier in the year 2011, NASA sent a humanoid robot into space for the first time．It’s called R2, short for Robonaut 2．The robot was delivered by the space shuttle Discovery and will remain on the ISS to be tested．
NASA expects robots like R2 to be a huge help to astronauts．―Our goal is for robots to work side by side with humans,‖ says NASA’s Matt Ondler．R2 is controlled by humans using laptops．It’s programmed to perform a number of small tasks, such as ―find an object．‖ In most situations, humans are still far better with their hands than robots．But that’s not necessarily true in space, where astronauts must wear bulky spacesuits and heavy gloves．And since they don’t need to eat, breathe, or go to the bathroom, robonauts have the advantage for lengthy jobs．
R2 isn’t ready for spacewalks yet, but NASA hopes that future improvements will make this possible．―Robonauts will help our astronauts with the three D’s: jobs that are dirty, dull, and dangerous,‖ says Ondler．
To The Moon
Someday the space agency hopes to send R2 to the moon．Sending a robot to the moon will befar less expensive than sending a human．A robot is stronger, can survive in tighter spaces, and doesn’t need air．Even better, robots don’t care how long it takes for NASA to return them to Earth．Once on the moon, the robonaut could perform experiments, send live video back to Earth, talk to classrooms full of kids, and explore the lunar surface．R2 will be able to move using legs, or by attaching its torso（躯干）to a four-wheeled rover（探测器）and becoming part of vehicle．And when R2’s battery is low, it can plug into a solar-powered recharging station and get some much-needed juice．All in all, a pretty sweet life for a humble robot!
The future R2 would be designed to operate by itself．But for difficult tasks, a human operator would control it like an avatar in a video game．NASA will need people skilled at operating robonauts to ensure the success of future missions．So the next time your mom complains that you’re spending too much time on video games, just tell her you’re training for a job with NASA．
51．In paragraph1, the writer gives a detailed description of a space accident to ．A．stress the danger of an astronaut’s walk in space
B．tell readers the unforgettable experience of an astronaut
C．show his concern for the present situation of space walk
D．introduce what robots are likely to do for astronauts
52．Why do es the writer say Robonaut 2 is ―The Real Deal‖?
A．It may have the advantage for complex and small tasks at low costs．
B．It has been programmed to help astronauts with three D’s．
C．It is flexible and can be easily controlled by humans beings．
D．It proves to be a good companion for space travelers．
53．By saying―All in all, a pretty sweet life for a humble robot!‖, the writer means that ．A．an ordinary robot will be able to move freely in comfortable surroundings
B．an ordinary robot will enjoy a comfortable life in space like humans on Earth
C．a future robot will explore the moon easily by using a four-wheeled rover
D．a future robot is stronger and will handle any difficulty in space easily
54．It can be learned from the passage that ．
A．the future R2 will perform experiments without human control
B．humans are much smarter with their hands than robots in space
C．someday humans might control an avatar on the moon
D．sending a human to the moon will cost far less than sending a robot
D
The end of my sophomore year was approaching．Mom called me at the dorm one evening during the last week of May．My summer break would be spent with grandma and grandpa, helping out around their farm．The arrangement made good sense to all the family．I wa sn’t fully convinced of that myself but guessed it was just one summer．Next year would be my little brother’s turn．
I arrived late that afternoon．Grandma had fixed more food than the three of us could possibly eat．She loved me entirely too much．The next morning, Grandpa fixed breakfast for the two of us．He told me Grandma had tired herself out yesterday and was going to rest in bed a little longer．I made a mental note to myself to not ask her to do things for me while I was there．I was there to help, not be a burden．Weeks passed．I gradually settled into a routine of daily work with Grandpa．In the evenings I usually read or talked with Grandma．She never grew tired of hearing about college or anything I was involved in．She told me stories about her childhood, family and the early years after she and Grandpa had married．The last Saturday in June, Grandpa suggested going fishing．We hadn’t expected what we saw when we got to the pond that morning: One of the swans was dead．Grandpa had given the pair of swans to Grandma on their 50th anniversary．―Why don’t we see about buying another one,‖ I suggested, hoping the situation could somehow be righted．Grandpa thought for a few moments before answering．He finally said, ―no．．．it’s not that easy, Bruce．You see, swans mate for life．‖ He raised his finger to point, holding the fishing pole in his other hand．―There’s nothing we can do for the one that’s left．He has to work it out for himself．‖
A few days later, we drove by the pond while doing our morning check on the cows．We found the other swan lying near the same spot we had found the first one．It, too, was dead．
The month of July started with me and Grandpa putting up a new stretch of fence．Then July 12 came．That was the day Grandma passed away．Grandma had died suddenly that morning of a stroke．By the afternoon, my parents were there．The old house was soon crowded with relatives and Grandpa’s friends．The funeral was held the next day．Grandpa had insisted on having it as soon as possible．On the second day after the funeral, Grandpa announced at the breakfast table, ―This is a working farm．We have a
lot of things to do．The rest of you should get back to your own lives．‖ Most of the family had already left, but this was Grandpa’s way of telling the rest it was time fo r them to go home．My parents were the last to leave after lunch．
Grandpa was not a man who could outwardly express his grief around others, and we all worried about him．The rest of the summer flowed by．We stayed busy working．I thought there was something different about Grandpa but couldn’t quite put my finger on it．
September was nearing, and part of me did not want to leave．I thought of skipping the fall semester and staying around a few more months．When I mentioned it, grandpa quickly told me that my place was back at college．
The day finally came for me to pack my car and leave. I shock his hand and chanced a hug. As Idrove down the driveway, I saw him in the rearview mirror．He waved to me and then walked to the pasture gate to start the morning livestock check．
Mom called me at school on a stormy October day to tell me Grandpa had died．A neighbor had stopped by that morning for coffee and found him in the kitchen．He died of a stroke, the same as Grandma．At that moment, I understood what he’d clumsily tried to explain to me about the swan on that morning we fished together by the pond．
55．We can learn from Paragraph 1 that ．
A．Bruce regarded working on the farm as a rare chance
B．Bruce longed to enjoy himself freely on the farm
C．the brothers took turns to attend their grandparents
D．Bruce was not happy with his parents’ arrangement
56．What did the writer think at the sight of the first dead swan?
A．Another swan should be bought in place of the dead one．
B．The other was bound to die since swans mate for life．
C．Grandma would be in deep sorrow over its death．
D．The living can do nothing for the dead．
57．Grandpa quickly dismissed the family after the funeral because ．
A．he wanted to carry on with his farm work
B．he tended to deal with grief in life by himself
C．he didn’t want his normal life disturbed
D．he took for granted the matter of life and death
58．By ―I couldn’t put my fingers on it‖, the writer means that ．
A．I could do nothing to help him out of grief
B．I was so busy that I couldn’t give a hand to Grandpa
C．I couldn’t tell exactly what was different about my Grandpa
D．I stayed busy working and couldn’t keep Grandpa’s company
59．Which of the following best describes Grandpa’s character?
A．Outgoing, clumsy and considerate．B．Loyal, considerate and independent．
C．Talkative, clumsy and independent．D．Romantic, outgoing and loyal．
60．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A．Mate For Life B．Unforgettable Summer Break
C．Death of Swans D．Everlasting Love Story
第二节：下面文章中有5处（第61–65题）需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E 和F）中选出符合各段意思的小标题，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A．Make a list of obstacles and benefits of achieving your goal
B．Enlist the help of others
C．Learn what you need to learn
D．Visualize yourself having achieved each of your goals
E．Get organized and reward yourself each step of the way
F．Put your goals in writing
The goals that guide us
―Not all who wander are lost,‖ they say, but for the great majority of us, having a road map for the future is a key element to well-being and success, however we choose to define it．This means setting goals for ourselves, and finding ways to achieve them．If you’re a wanderer, it might be time to realize the great significance of setting goals．
It’s simply a fact: when people have goals to guide them, they are happier and achieve more than they would without having them．It’s a brain thing．Achieving a goal you’ve set produces a neurotransmitter （神经传递素）responsible for feelings of pleasure, which will then activate neural circuitry that makes you eager to pursue new challenges．
Of course, a thousand mile journey starts with the first small step．And whether we’re starting on the long journey of a mid-life career switch or the walk to the bedroom to finally organize that closet, it can be hard to gather up the motivation to make that initial step．While setting goals is in itself motivating, sometimes it’s just not enough．Here are some tried-and-true ways you can begin to move toward achieving your goals．
61．
The act of writing down what you are going to do is a strong motivator．Writing down goals prevents you from leaving your goals vague．Be specific．Use action verbs．Let your goals have measurable outcomes．Specify completion dates．Also record what your reward will be for achieving the goal．Make a contract with yourself, then read it each morning and night．This will help you to be more committed to your goal as each day passes．And while you’ve got the pen in your hand．．．
62．
Think of everything that might stand in your way．Then decide what you can do about each obstacle．Design a plan to reduce the influence of each obstacle and increase the chances that you will be successful in reaching your goal．Knowing exactly what you will gain from reaching your goal is a strong motivator．Keeping my checkbook balanced will give me more spending money on the weekends．Walking a mile every morning will help me stay focused at work．
63．
If information or skill is keeping you from achieving your goals, determine ways to fill in the gaps, and build this into your action plan．Be willing to study and work hard to reach your goals．Think about how much time and effort will be required, and ask yourself whether you are really willing and able to do what is necessary．It is better to adjust your goals or your timetable than to proceed with a plan that is unrealistic．64．
Find someone, a coworker or friend, with whom you share a common goal．Get someone to go to the
gym with you, or to quit smoking with you, or to share healthy meals with you．A partner can help you stay committed and motivated．Look for role models, people who have already achieved the goals you seek to reach．Ask them for advice and suggestions．Find how they got where they are, and incorporate what you learn into your plan．
65．
The more real you can make your visualization, the better．Find a quiet place, visualize, and write down your experiences afterward．Go through magazines and cut out pictures that represent your goal, then put them around the house．Provide constant reminders to yourself about what you’re working towards．Describe your ideal life in the future．Write a few paragraphs describing what you have accomplished, and how your life is better as a result．Use the present tense as if it is happening right here, right now．This is another way of making your vision real．

Yesterday I attended a classmate party．I was very happy to see my old friends, that I hadn’t met
for years．So I drank a lot．After the party, I drive home though my classmate had tried to persuade
me not to．I always believed that as a skilled driver, drinking a little did no harm to driving．On the
way to home, the wine began to take effect．All of sudden, I cracked my car against a sign on the road．Luckily, a policeman came towards me．He fined me and said: ―Drunk driving is a terribly thing．
You can end up hurt yourself, and other innocent people life．‖ Till then, I realized that the effects of drunk driving could be deadly for all those involved．Many people who drink and drive do not think

People had been writing novels for a century—most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719— but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy（识字） rate in England was under 50%. Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often with something like “By a lady.”Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral, or just plain bad. In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters — from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim— were held up as moral touchstones. Today Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged. Removing him from the pantheon（名人堂） of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa. How did Dickens get to the top For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60,000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them. It’s partly true that Dickens’ style of writing attracted audiences from all walks of life. It’s partly t hat his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But it’s also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a singular writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible —and important for our own culture—to understand how he made himself a lasting one. 21. Which of the following best describes British novels in the 18th century

Wonder Woman Wonder Woman is this summer’s most exciting film. Though being a superhero film, it is the most unique: you will see the first female superhero starred by Gal Gadot. On general release from 1 June. The Mummy Tom Cruise awakens an ancient princess who has now become a mummy. Cruise jumps from the sky, runs around a lot and wakes up naked in a sleeping bag –but it’s Sofia Boutella as the Mummy who draws the most attention. Director Alex Kurtzman speaks highly of Sofia Boutella as the Mummy: “If you look at her eyes, there's a whole performance going on here. Even not saying anything, she can convey something very emotional to me.”On general release from 8 June. Baby Driver Ansel Elgort is a getaway driver, who is forced to work for a crime boss. This is a comedy-action-romance from British writer-director Edgar Wright. The sound in the film is as great as the visuals, which makes it much like a musical, but it is quite different from La La Land. Baby Driver isn’t just a series of song pieces. Instead, it finds its form in the elegant, rapid-fire combination of movement and sound. Released 28 June in Canada and the US. A Man Called Ove This film has become one of Sweden’s most popular comedies. In the film a lonely retiree who has given up on life, was trying to kill himself, but all his attempts failed.

Airlines know this and do their part to make air travel as comfortable as they can for every passenger. Here are some tips and information on what major airlines do for travelers who need extra support when flying. United When flying with United, call the airline's disability desk (1-800-228-2744) 48 hours in advance of travel if you'll be traveling with an assistive device so they can ensure your device can be used in-flight. Any special needs you have should be mentioned when you make your reservation so the airline staff can do their best to help you. This includes the need for assistance getting to your gate, boarding, getting to your seat, deplaning or connecting. Delta Depending on the type and age of the aircraft, accessible features of Delta's aircraft include movable armrests of seats, wheelchair space, on-board wheelchairs and, on larger airplanes, wheelchair-accessible washrooms. Depending on the aircraft, they also provide seats with a movable aisle armrest for passengers needing to transfer from a boarding wheelchair to their own seat more easily. US Airways When traveling with US Airways, if you have a mobility disability and need special seating, call 800-428-4322 at least 24 hours before your scheduled departure to ensure your needs are met. Besides seats with movable armrests, the airline also provides seats with more legroom for passengers with a immobilized leg. The airline can also provide an on-board wheelchair but let them know 48 hours in advance if you need one. Southwest If you're flying with Southwest and you need a wheelchair at the airport, or need other special assistance, it's best to inform the airline in advance, or as soon as you arrive at the airport so your requests can be fulfilled as

One of us would walk her, another would feed her ,then there were baths, playing catch and many other games .Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around. One days, as I was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破) one of Dad’s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was Wrong. When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl.” She looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes. Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. She went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she'd let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many dines when we'd be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked (吠) or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from
