Shortly afterwards, I introduced our important festival—the Spring Festival to them while an American friend shared the knowledge of Christmas. After that, we showed them how to make paper cuts and taught them some Chinese charact ers, such as “节日”(festival). In the end, we exchanged gifts and had a group photo taken to mark the memorable occasion.Through this activity, we not only learned some culture from each other but also promoted our understanding and friendship.

During his career he produced more than 100 children’s books. For over sixty years, his artistic skill brought to life richly imaginative worlds filled with children, animals and magical creatures. Two of his works, Where the Wild Thing Are and In the Night Kitchen, gave new ideas to modern children’s literature.Maurice Sendak was born in 1928 in New York City. His parents were Jewish immigrants from Poland. As a child, Maurice was often sick. As a result, he stayed home and read books and drew pictures to entertain himself.Maurice became known for stories that were often dark and intense. For example, Outside Over There is about a kidnapped（绑架）baby. Her sister leaves the safety of home to rescue the baby from a strange and dream-like world. Maurice said he got the idea for the story from a real-life kidnapping in 1932. The baby son of the famous pilot Charles Lindbergh was kidnapped from home and murdered. Maurice was only a small child at the time. But he never forgot his fear as he listened to the radio broadcasts about the baby kidnapping.Maurice grew up with continuous reminders about death. When he was sick, his grandmother dressed him in white clothes that she thought would help him avoid dying. During World War Two, many of his family members were murdered in the Nazi German death camps. He remembers his mother screaming and cry8ing each time she learned that another family member had been killed. Sometimes, his parents would talk about he dead relatives, especially the children.These influences help explain an important part of Maurice Sendak’s books. They often show children dealing with and overcoming evil forces and other complex situations. many of his stories are about a child trying to survive while facing fears or other difficult feelings. In his books, he skillfully combined adults’ point of view with children’s, and the dark and light in all of us.43. From the first paragraph we know that ______.A. Maurice Sendak got awarded because of two famous booksB. Maurice Sendakis a productive writer of children’s booksC. Maurice Sendak’s works children’s imaginationD. Maurice Sendak’s works deal with modern children’s life44. In his childhood, Maurice Sendak _____.A. often got sick of the outside worldB. moved from Poland with his parentsC. enjoyed himself in reading and drawingD. was afraid to listen to radio broadcast45. What can we learn about Maurice Sendak’s family?A. His mother often reminded him of the dead relatives.B. His grandmother preferred to be dressed in white.C. Many of his family members were killed by Nazi.D. His parents witnessed the baby kidnapping.46. What are Maurice Sendak’s books often abo ut?A. His own experience as a small child.B. Children getting over tough situations.C. Adults point of view combined with children’s.D. Dark and intense stories during World War Two.B.IBM, the technology company has released its latest “5 in5”report. The expert think five development will become realitywithin the next five years. Scientists at IBM and other companiesare researching ways to make the predictions come true.They say people will soon have a way to just think aboutcalling or e-mailing someone in order to make it happen. It’s asimple ability t o command a system to do something for youwithout actually doing or saying anything, literally thinking and having something happen as a result that's accurate. Something with really deep capability so that a person, for instance, a quadriplegic, a paraplegic can actually utilize brainwaves to make things happen and basically run their own lives independently.Another prediction is a way for people to powe r their homes and offices using energy from activities like walking or running. For example, you can see somebody in the third world who has access to a phone or a smart phone but doesn’t have access to the power grid（电力网）, and literally a shoe can help gain energy from walking and can charge the battery to enable that person to actually become a connected with the rest of the world.Passwords could soon become a thing of the past. Some of the most common biometrics used to identify people are fingerprints, face and voice recognition, and iris scans. The iris is the colored part of the eye. Dr. Bernie Myerson says this technology will soon be more widely used by money machines and other devices.Another prediction is from the experts at EBM: better technology to prevent unwantede-mail."The device, as you act upon it, as you eliminate mail, you don't read it, you just look at it and kill it, after a while it learns your habits and works for you as your assistant by eliminating stuff you never wanted anyway,” says Dr. Bernie Myerson.The last on IBM's 5 in 5 list is an end to the "digital divide" between those who have technology and those who do not. Dr. Bernie Myerson says, "Think about the digital divide today: the haves and the have-nots, people who are and are not connected. We expect within five years, better than80% coverage of the world’s populations by cellular to smartphones. At that point, imagine having, for instance, the ability to speak openly with anybody anywhere, anytime and any language -- real time translation.47. In the first prediction, people will soon have a way to make things happen by _______.A. using brainwavesB. e-mailing somebodyC. making a callD. talking to somebody48. from the example in Para. 3, we can learn that in the third world ______.A. people may have no access to electricityB. more people are possessing smart phonesC. people can gain energy merely from shoesD. scientists are trying to set up the power grid49. The “device” mentioned in Para. 5 can help you to ______.A. from your e-mail reading habitB. read e-mail as your assistantC. send e-mail much more freelyD. delete your unwanted e-mail50. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The problem with the digital divide has been dealt with.B. Only 20% of people still have no access to hi-tech phones.C. There may be no language barriers among people using smart phones.D. People from every corner of the world can be connected by the Internet.CScientists Announce Age of Tailored Cancer Care－Thanks to Your DNAA decade ago it took tense of millions of pounds and many years to sequence the complete genome of one individual. Now it takes a few hundred pounds and a couple of days to decode the entire DNA of a cancer cell.The rapid pace of change in DNA sequencing is leading to a transformation in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. In the coming decade every cancer patient will receive a genetic profile of their disease, scientists predict.An age of personalized medicine where patients receive tailored treatments based on their DNA rather than just their symptoms could end the one-drug-treats-all approach to cancer treatment, which has failed many patients in the past, they said.The revolution will also mean that the classic method of testing new drugs and treatments based on large scale of clinical trials with thousands of patients will be replaced by more targeted approach focused on a smaller number of individuals with known genetic profiles.Rapid DNA sequencing will signal an age where cancer drugs will be made for patients based on the type of DMA mutations (转变) carried within their tumor（肿瘤）, scientists said. “In part it might signal a significant shift in the way medicine is performed for cancer in the 21st century,” said Professor Alan Ashworth, chief executive of the Institute of Cancer Research of London.“This is not science fiction. It’s happening in a number of places around the world but we feel it will be absolutely routine within the next five to ten years for every cancer patient,” said Professor Ashworth, adding that it could mean drugs designed for one type of cancer will be used in the treatment of quite different cancers, as scientists uncover common biochemical pathways that link one disease to another.“It opens up the possibility of using drugs in a context in which they were not originally developed,” Professor Ashworth said. It could also change the whole approach to drug development and clinical trials. He added, “In the past, drugs have been developed with large clinical trials involving thousands of patients and working out what is best for the average patient. What we are saying now is to look at what is best for the individual patient. It may be that in certain rare cancer types, a drug may be considered effective, even though there may well never be clinical trial evidence to prove it.”51. The underlined word “tailored” in Para. 3 probably means ______.A. fitting one personB. well designedC. conveniently madeD. aiming at common people52. Compared with the new approach, the old method of drug development ________.A. is focused on a small number of patientsB. is based on a large number of tests on patientsC. works out what is best for one particular patientD. cannot produce trial evidence to prove a drug’s effect53. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. A decade ago patients with unknown genetic profiles cannot be treated.B. Cancer treatment in the future will be mainly based on the symptoms of the patients.C. the revolution in cancer treatment is a result of the rapid change in DNA sequencing.D. Up to now the one-drug-treats-all approach to cancer treatment has been workingproperly.第二节（共4小题；每小题2分，共8分）根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
