1、Sharing SilenceDeaf teenagers Orlando Chavez ａｎｄ　German Resendiz have been friends since kindergarten (幼儿园). Together the two boys, who go to Escondido High School in California, have had the difficult job of learning in schools where the majority of the students can speak ａｎｄ　hear.Orlando lost his hearing at the age of one. German was born deaf, ａｎｄ　his parents moved from Mexico to find a school where he could learn sign language. He met Orlando on their first day of kinder garten."We were in a special class with about 25 other deaf kids," German remembered. "Before then, I didn\'t know I was deaf ａｎｄ　I was different.""Being young ａｎｄ　deaf in regular classes was very hard," signs Orlando. "The other kids didn\'t understａｎｄ　us ａｎｄ　we didn\'t understａｎｄ　them. But we\'ve all grown up together, ａｎｄ　today, I\'m popular because I\'m deaf. Kids try to communicate with me."Some things are very difficult fｏｒthe two boys. "We can\'t talk on the phone, so if we need help, we can\'t call an emergency service," German signs. "ａｎｄ　we can\'t ｏｒｃｅｒfood in a drive - thru."Despite of their difficulties, the two boys have found work putting food in bags at a local supermarket.They got their jobs through a "workability" program, designed fｏｒteenagers from local schools with different types of learning disabilities.German has worked in the supermarket since August, ａｎｄ　Orlando started in November."The other people who work here nave been very nice to us," Orlando signs. "They even sign sometimes. At first, we were nervous, but we\'ve learned a lot ａｎｄ　we\'re getting better."The opportunity to earn money has been exciting, both boys said. After high school, they hope to attend the National Technical Institute fｏｒthe Deaf in New York.According to the passage, the difficulty fｏｒOrlando ａｎｄ　German is that ______.【单选题】

2、BudgetA budget is a spending plan. It can help you spend money wisely. It can do this by cutting out wasteful spending. Of course, preparing a budget takes planning, ａｎｄ　following a budget takes will power. Your budget should meet your family\'s needs ａｎｄ　income.

Keep goals realistic, in terms of income available. Then decide which goals are the most important. The next step is estimating family income. Before you can plan wisely, you need to know how much money you have to spend! Write down all the money you expect to receive (wages, savings, interest, etc.) during the planned budget period. After you have calculated how much money will be available, it is time to estimate expenses. List all of your family expenses. If you are not satisfied with what you got fｏｒyour money, look carefully at your spending. Studying your records will show where overspending has occurred. It will also point out poｏｒbuying habits. It is also a good idea to ｓｅｔaside a small amount of money fｏｒemergencies. Every family has small emergencies: a blown tire, a broken device, ｏｒthe need fｏｒminｏｒmedical care. In carrying out your budget, you need ____. 【单选题】

A.to have the ability to control yourself

B.to ask your family members fｏｒadvice

C.to cut it down as much as possible

正确答案:A

答案解析:“preparing a budget takes planning，ａｎｄ　following a budget takes will power”意思是“准备一项预算需要计划，而执行（follow在这里是执行的意思）一项计划则需要will power（意志力），也就是ability to control yourself（控制自己的能力）”。

3、Weaving with LightIn the Sierra Madre mountain range of west central Mexico, the native Huichol people live much the way their ancestors did-without electricity. That\'s because it\'s too expensive to string power lines to the remote mountain areas where they live. To help support themselves, the Huichol create beautiful artwork. They sell their art in cities hundreds of miles away from their villages. ａｎｄ　without electricity, at home ｏｒon the road, they can only work during daylight hours. When it gets dark, they must stop whatever they\'re doing.Now, a team of scientists, designers ａｎｄ　architects is using new technologies to provide the Huichol with light after the sun sets. The scientists technique involves weaving tiny electronic crystals into fabrics that can be made into clothes, bags, ｏｒother items.By collecting the sun\'s energy during the day, these lightweight fabrics provide bright white light at night. Their inventors have named the fabrics "Portable Lights," Portable Lights have the potential to transform the lives of people without electricity around the world, says project leader Sheila Kennedy."Our invention," Kennedy says, "came from seeing how we could transform technology we saw every day in the United States ａｎｄ　move it into new markets fｏｒpeople who didn\'t have a lot of money."At the core of Portable Light technology are devices called high - brightness light - emitting diodes, ｏｒHB LEDs. These tiny lights appear in digital clocks, televisions ａｎｄ　streetlights.LEDs are completely different from the light bulbs. Most of those glass bulbs belong to a type called incandescent lights. Inside, electricity heats a metal coil to about 2,200 degrees Celsius. At that temperature, bulbs give off light we can see.Ninety percent of energy produced by incandescent lights, however, is heat ａｎｄ　invisible. With all that wasted energy, bulbs burn out quickly. They are also easily broken.LEDs, on the other hand, are like tiny pieces of rock made up of molecules that are arranged in a crystal structure. When an electric current passes through an LED, the crystal structure produces light. Unlike incandescent bulbs, they can produce light of various colors. Within an LED, the type of molecules ａｎｄ　their particular arrangement determines what colｏｒis produced.The Huichol don\'t use electricity because ______. 【单选题】

A.it is too difficult fｏｒthem to change their lifestyle

B.they know nothing about it

C.it costs too much to string power lines

D.they don\'t need it

正确答案:C

答案解析:本题有一定难度，关键在吃透句意，答案依据比较明显，带着题干信息词回文章定位，答案依据主要在文章第一段第二句：That\'s because it\'s too expensive to string power lines to the remote mountain areas where they live．谈到将电力设施铺设到山里投资巨大，string是引申意义，此处是“铺设”的意思，回来看选项，C项和原文句意相符，答案是C。

5、The Book of LifeSo far, scientists have named about 1.6 million living species, ａｎｄ　that\'s a just a fraction of that probably exists on Earth. With so many plants, animals ａｎｄ　other creatures coveting the planet, it can be tough to figure out what type of spider is moving up your leg ｏｒwhat kind of bird is flying by.A soon - to - be - started Web site might help. An international team of researchers has announced the creation of Web - based Encyclopedia of life( EOL). The project aims to catalog every species on Earth in a single, easy - to - use reference guide.To get the encyclopedia started, the creators will use information from scientific ｄａｔａｂａｓｅs that already exist. ａｎｄ　eventually, in special sections of the site, nonscientist with specialized knowledge will get to join in. Bird - watchers, fｏｒexample, will be able to input which bird they\'ve seen ａｎｄ　where. The technology fｏｒthis kind of tool has only become available.As the EOL develops, you might find it useful fｏｒschool projects. The site will feature special pages fｏｒkids who are studying ecosystems (生态系统) in their neighborhoods. To make sure the encyclopedia is accurate, scientists will review much of the information added to it. People who visit the site will be able to choose to leave out pages that haven\'t been reviewed.Another convenient feature of the EOL is that you\'ll be able to pick the level of detail you want to see to match your interest, age ａｎｄ　knowledge. If you wanted to learn about bears fｏｒa science class report, fｏｒexample, you could use the "novice" setting to get basic information about the animals. On the "expert" setting, on the other hand, you could get much more detailed information about the history, literature ａｎｄ　exploration of bears.It now takes years fｏｒscientist to collect all the data they need to describe ａｎｄ　analyze species. The creatｏｒof the Encyclopedia of Life hope that their new tool will speed up that process."Spider" ａｎｄ　"bird" mentioned in Paragraph 1 are examples to illustrate ______.【单选题】

A.there are numerous living species on Earth

B.animals are people\'s friends

C.it is easy to see spiders ａｎｄ　birds

D.here are many types of spiders ａｎｄ　birds

正确答案:A

答案解析:本题有一定难度，带着题干信息词回文章定位，答案依据主要在文章第一段：So far, scientists have named about l.6 million living species, ...it can be tough to figure out what type of spider is moving up your leg ｏｒwhat kind of bird is flying by.谈到了地球物种数量巨大，回来看选项，A项和原文句意相近，是答案。
