A world-famous Canadian author,Margaret Atwood,has created the world's first long-distance
signing device(装置),the LongPen.
After many tiring book-signing tours from city to city,Atwood thought there must be a better way
to do them.She hired some technical experts and started her own company in 2004.Together they
3
designed the LongPen.Here's how it works:The author writes a personal message and signature on a
computer tablet()using a special pen.On the receiving end,in another city,a robotic arm fitted
with a regular pen signs the book.The author and fan can talk with cach other via webcams(网络掇像
L)and computer screens.
Work on the LongPen began in Atwood's basement().At first,they had no idca it would
be as hard as it turned out to be.The device went through several versions,including one that actually
had smoke coming out of it.The investing finally completed,test runs were made in Ottawa,and the
LongPen was officially launched at the 2006 London Book Fair.From here,Atwood conducted two
transatlantic book signings of her latest book for fans in Toronto and New York City.
The LongPen produces a unique signature each time because it copies the movement of the
author in real time.It has several other potential applications.It could increase credit card security and
allow people to sign contracts from another province.The video exchange between signer and receiver
can be recorded on DVD for proof when legal documents are used.
"It's really fun",said the owner of a bookstore,who was present for one of the test runs.
"Obviously you can't shake hands with the author,but there are chances for a connection that you don't
get from a regular book signing.
The response to the invention has not been all favorable.Atwood has received criticism from
authors who think she is trying to end book tours.But she said,"It will be possible to go to places that
you never got sent to before because the publishers couldn't afford it."
56.Why did Atwood decide to invent the LongPen?
A.To make book signings less tiring.
B.To win herself greater popularity.
C.To write her books in a new way.
D.To set up her own company.
57.How does the LongPen work?
A.It copies the author's signature and prints it on a book.
B.The webcam sends the author's signature to another city.
C.It signs a book while receiving the author's signature.
D.The fan uses it to copy the author's signature himself.
58.What do we know about the invention of the LongPen?
A.It has been completed but not put into use.B.Some versions failed before its test run.
C.The basement caught fire by accident.D.The designers were well-prepared for the difficulty.
59.How could the LongPen be used in the future?
A.To draft legal documents.
B.To keep a record of the author's ideas.
C.To improve credit card security.
D.To allow author and fan to exchange videos.

One day when I was 12,my mother gave me an order:I was to walk to the public library,and
borrow at least one book for the summer.This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange
probiem-inability to read.
In the library,I found my way into the "Children's Room."I sat down on the floor and pulled a
few books off the shelf at random.The cover of a book caught my eye.It presented a picture of a
beagle.I had recently had a beagle,the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child.He was
my secret sharer,but one morning,he was gone,given away to someone who had the space and the
money to care for him.I never forgot my beagle.
There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog.I ran my fingers over
the picture of the dog on the cover.My eyes ran across the title,Amos,the Beagle with a Plan.
Unknowingly,I had read the title.Without opening the book,I borrowed it from the library for the
summer.
Under the shade of a bush,I started to read about Amos.I read very,very slowly with difficulty.
Though pages were tumned slowly,I got the main idea of the story about a dog who,like mine,had been
separated from his family and who finally found his way back home.That dog was my dog,and I was
the little boy in the book.At the end of the story,my mind continued the final scene of reunion,on and
on.until my own lost dog and I were,in my mind,running together.
My mother's call returned me to the real world.I suddenly realized something:I had read a book,
and I had loved reading that book.Everyone knew I could not read.But I had read it.Books could be
incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.
I never told my mother about my“miraculous”(奇迹般地)experience that summer,.but she saw
a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year.And years later,
she was proud that her son had read thousands 'of books,was awarded a PhD in literature,and authored
his own books,articles,poetry and fiction.The power of the words has held.
61.The author's mother told him to borrow a book in order to
A.encourage him to do more walking
B.help cure him of his reading problem
C.let him spend a meaningful summer
D.make him learn more about weapons

62.The book caught the author's eye becausc
A.it contained pretty pictures of animals B.he found its title easy to understand
C.it reminded him of his own dog
D.he liked children's stories very much
63.Why could the author manage to read the book through?
A.He identified with the story in the book.B.He was forced by his mother to read it.
C.The book told the story of his pet dog.D.The happy ending of the story attracted him
64.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.The author's mother read the same book.
B.The author has become a successful writer.
C.The author's mother rewarded him with books.
D.The author has had happy summers ever since.
65.Which one could be the best title of the passage?

B.Mum's Strict Order

People aren't walking any more-if they can figure out a way to avoid it.
I felt superior about this matter until the other.day I took my car to mail a small parcel.The
journey is a matter of 281 steps.But I used the car.And I wasn't in any hurry,either.I had merely
become one more victim of a national sickness:motorosis.
It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune(免疫的),for I was bred in the tradition of
going to places on my own two legs.At that time,we regarded 25 miles as a good day's walk and the
ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as sign of strength and skill.It did not occur to us that
walking was a hardship.And the effect was lasting.When I was 45 years old I raced-and beat-a
teenage football player the 168 steps up the Stature of Liberty.
Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart.But a
well-known British physician,Sir Adolphe Abrahams,pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need
proper exercise.A person who avoids exercise is more likely to have ilmesses than one who exercises
regularly.And walking is an ideal form of exercise-the most familiar and natural of all.
It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot.The man walking can
leamn the trees,flowers,insects,birds and animals,the significance of seasons,the very feel of himself
as a living creature in a living world.He cannot learn in a car.
The car is a convenient means of transport,but we have made it our way of life.Many people
don't dare to approach Nature any more;to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat.To
4
them security is a steel river thundering on a concrete road.And much of their thinking takes place
while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.
I say that the green of forests is the mind's best light.And none but the man on foot can evaluate
what is basic and everlasting.
66.What is the national sickness?
A.Walking too much.
B.Driving cars too much.
C.Traveling too much.
D.Climbing stairs too much.
67.What was life like when the author was young?
A.people often walked 25 miles a day
B.People usually went around on foot.
C.People used to climb the Statue of Liberty.
D.people considered a ten-hour walk as a hardship.
68.The author mentions Henry Thoreau to prove that
A.middle-aged people like getting back to nature B.people need regular exercise to keep fit
C.walking in nature helps enrich one's mind
D.going on foot prevents heart disease
69
What is compared to"a steel river"in Paragraph6?
A.A stream of people.B.A ray of traffic light.C.A flash of lightning.D.A queue of cars.
70.What is the author's intention of writing this passage?
A.To encourage people to return to walking.
B.To recommend people to give.up driving.
C.To advise people to do outdoor activities.
D.To tell people to reflect more on life
第五部分:阅读表达(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)
At the age of forty-five,my usually well-ordered life became full of changes After twenty-two
years of working in a bank,a plan to use less staff led to the unemployment of over one hundred people.
Unluckily,I was one of them.
My once secure future became uncertain.However,I was not a single parent,so the family did
not depend only on my income and my husband can support the family.My motto has always been,
"Change is good;change is progress",but when it affected my livelihood,I had to change it."Accept
change and make the most of it."From the beginning,I chose to look at this matter not as bad luck,but
as a welcome chance.I refused to become sorry;instead,I actively planned to do something new and
different.
Having a positive attitude made all the difference in the way I pursued the future.First,I decided
to return to college and graduate many years later than I should have.Doing this at my age took more
5
than a little courage.Not being a graduate had never held me back in my career in the bank,but now
it's a personal goal I longed to achieve.With a lot of determination,I went to evening classes and
became an adult student.In the class,I became more and more confident.During this time,I realized
that no matter what life throws in our way,nothing can hinder our personal growth.
The second thing I did to improve my inner self was to reevaluate my past life.It used to be filled
with endless,and sometimes meaningless events.But now,my heart and life are completely around
people I care for.
The loss of my job led to some positive changes in my life.Revisiting the past made room for the
future.I realize that I have accepted the change,and am making the most of it.
71.What made the author lose her job?(no more than 10 words)
72.What did the author do after the unemployment?(no more than 15 words)
73.How do you understand the underlined word in Paragraph 3?(no more than 3 words)
74.How would you describe the author in terms of personalities?(no more than 5 words)
75.What's your attitude towards the "changes"in your life?Please explain.(no more than 20 words)
