After the Taliban began attacking girl schools in Swat, Malala gave a speech in Peshawar, Pakistan, in September 2008. The title of her talk was, "How dare the Taliban take away my basic right to education?"When she was 14, Malala and her family learned that the Taliban had issued a death threat against her. Though Malala was frightened for the safety of her father——an anti-Taliban activist，she and her family initially felt that the fundamentalist group would not actually harm a child.On October 9，2012, on her way home from school, a man boarded the bus Malala was riding in and demanded to know which girl was Malala. When her friends looked toward Malala, her location was given away. The gunman fired at her, hitting Malala in the left side of her head. Two other girls were also injured in the attack.Despite the Taliban's threats, Yousafzai remains a firm advocate for the power of education. On October 10, 2013, in acknowledgement of her work, the European Parliament awarded Yousafzai the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought. That same year, she was nominated (提名) for a Nobel Peace Prize. She didn't win the prize, but was named a nominee again in March 2014.Malala Yousafzai's Speech at the United Nations (Excerpt)：Dear brothers and sisters do remember one thing. Malala Day is not my day. Today is the day of every woman, every boy and every girl who have raised their voice for their rights. There are hundreds of human rights activists and social workers who are not only speaking for human rights, but who are struggling to achieve their goals of education, peace and equality. Thousands of people have been killed by the terrorists and millions have been injured. I am just one of them.…Dear sisters and brothers, now it’s time to speak up. So today, we call upon the world leaders to change their strategic policies in favour of peace and prosperity:We call upon the world leaders that all the peace deals must protect women and children's rights.We call upon all governments to ensure free compulsory education for every child all over the world.We call upon all governments to fight against terrorism and violence, to protect children from brutality and harm.We call upon the developed nations to support the expansion of educational opportunities for girls in the developing world.We call upon our sisters around the world to be brave—to embrace (拥抱) the strength within themselves and realize their full potential.25．According to the passage, we can best describe Malala to be ____________.A. ambitious and independentB. brave and persistentC. courageous and humorousD. stubborn and honest26．We can learn from Malala's speech that_________.A. every child in the world has free compulsory educationB. human rights activists only speaks for human rightsC. the Taliban killed Malala’s sistersD. many girls in developing countries cannot receive education27．Which of the following is true?A.

On October 10, 2013, Malala won a Nobel Peace Prize.CGlobal Positioning Systems are now a part of everyday driving in many countries. These satellite-based systems provide turn-by-turn directions to help people get to where they want to go. But, they can also cause a lot of problems, send you to the wrong place or leave you completely lost. Many times, the driver is to blame. Sometimes a GPS error is responsible. Most often, says Barry Brown, an expert in human-computer interaction, it is a combination of the two.We spoke to Mr. Brown by Skype (网络电话软件).He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States. There he borrowed a GPS-equipped car to use during his stay. Barry Brown:“ And they just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination. And, then it wasn't until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived. They actually put their home address in. So again t he GPS is kind of “garbage in garbage out”.Mr. Brown says this is a common human error. But, he says, what makes the problem worse has to do with some of the shortcomings, or failures, of GPS equipment. Barry Brown: “One problem with a lot of the GPS units is they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn. Because they just give you the next turn, sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it's going to the wrong place.”Barry Brown once worked on a project with Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh. The two men studied the effects of GPS devices on driving by placing cameras in people's cars. They wrote a paper based on their research. It is called “The Normal,Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS”. It lists several areas where GPS systems can cause confusion for drivers. These include maps that are outdated, incorrect or difficult to understand. They also include timing issues related to when GPS commands are given.Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better we need a better understanding of how drivers, passengers and GPS systems work together.28．Why did Mr. Brown mention his friend in paragraph 2?A. To describe an example of the GPS error.B. To show the drive’s error is responsible.C. To laugh at his stupid friend.D. To prove the GPS system is kind of garbage. 29．What’s the po ssible solution according to Barry Brown?A. GPS units are to blame for most GPS service failures.B. We should introduce higher standards for the driving license.C. Cameras are urgently needed to help improve GPS systems.D. Drivers,GPS systems and passengers should unite to improve GPS systems.30．Which of the following can best describe Mr Brown's attitude towards GPS?A. Indifferent.B. Subjective.C. Neutral.D. Negative.31．What is the text mainly about?A. GPS can cause a lot of problems.B. GPS plays a great part in our everyday life.C. It is very convenient to drive with GPS.D.GPS makes people’s life easier.DWhat happens inside the head of a soccer player who repeatedly heads a soccer ball? That question motivated a study of the brains of experienced players.Researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York selected 34 adults, men and women. All of the volunteers had played soccer since childhood and now competed year-round in adult soccer leagues. Each filled out a detailed questionnaire developed especially for this study to determine how many times they had headed a soccer ball in the previous year, as well as whether they had experienced any known concussions (脑震荡) in the past.Then the players completed computerized tests of their memory and other learning skills and had their brains scanned, using a complex new M.R.I. technique which can find structural changes in the brain that can’t be seen during most scans.According to the data they presented, the researchers found that the players who had headed the ball more than about 1,100 times in the previous 12months showed significant loss of white matter in parts of their brains involved with memory, attention and the processing of visual information, compared with players who had headed the ball less.This pattern of white matter loss is “similar to those seen in traumatic (外伤的) brain injury”, like that after a serious concussion, the researchers reported, even though only one of these players was reported to have ever experienced a concussion.The players who had headed the ball about 1,100 times or more in the past year were also generally worse at recalling lists of words read to them, forgetting or fumbling the words far more often than players who had headed the ball less.32. This text is most probably taken from __________.A. a bottle of medicineB. a doctor’s notebookC. a research reportD. a personal diary33.How did the researchers make the study?A. By studying scientific theories.B. By interviewing the patientsC. By analysing questionnaires and tests..D. By listing examples.34. The underlined word “fumbling” in the last paragraph probably means__________.A. speaking fluentlyB. remembering wellC. recallingD. speaking in an unclear way35. Which of the following may be the best title?A. The harm of repeatedly heading a soccer ballB. The benefit of repeatedly heading a soccer ballC. The cause of concussionsD.
