Abraham Lincoln was the sixteenth president of the United States, and he was also the only United States president to hold a patent (专利).
Lincoln was born on February 12,1809. As a young man, he had a strong interest in new technology. He once worked on the Mississippi River as a boat worker. One day, the boat rushed onto a dam (水坝) and was set free only after a long time. In later years, while traveling on the Great Lakes, Lincoln's ship met similar trouble. These two similar experiences led him to think about his invention. Abraham Lincoln received a patent on May 22,1849. The invention was used to help out the boats or ships that met trouble in shallow water or beach. But it was never on the market. Abraham Lincoln made the model for his patent with his own hands out of wood. It is on display at the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of American History.
In 1858, Abraham Lincoln called the introduction of patent laws “one of the three most important developments in the world's history”, along with the discovery of America and the perfection of printing.
During the Civil War, Lincoln took a personal interest in new weapons, calling on the use of machine guns and so on.
46. Which statement about Lincoln's invention is NOT true?
A. It was about how to build a dam. B. It was used to help ships or boats in trouble.
C. It was never on the market. D. Lincoln made a model for his invention.
47. In Lincoln's mind, “the three most important developments in the world's history” didn't include .

The China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation (中国扶贫基金会) has started a program to hire and train 100 local women as substitute mothers (替代妈妈) to take care of left-behind children. The three-year program will select 100 villages across Sichuan Province and hire one woman for each village.
“It is a model to solve the problem of left-behind children,” said Liu Wenkui, secretary of the foundation. The “substitute mothers” will do parents’ job, finding out what the children need and helping them with problems. Each substitute mother will take care of about 300 to 500 children. There will be a “children's home” in each village to be the mother's office and children's playing space. Their job is to provide quick service and discover the children's problems.
The program hopes to hire women aged 19 to 55 years old from the villages. “We want to hire full-time ‘mothers’ to make sure they won't think about other work,” Liu said. “We want local women because they understand local languages and cultures.” The program in Sichuan is an experiment, and Liu said, “If it is a successful model, we will start it in the whole country.”
“If parents are forced to leave home to earn a living and unable to take their children with them, we are looking for a transitional (过渡的) way to solve the problem,” he added.
49. How long will the program last?
A. Three months. B. A year. C. Three years. D. Ten years.
50. Who is possible to be a substitute mother?
A. A girl at the age of 18. B. A woman with a part-time job.
C. A man from the local village． D. A woman who knows local language.
51. Which is NOT true according to the passage?
A. A substitute mother plays a role of parents.
B. Each substitute mother will take care of about 300 to 500 children.
C. Each village will have a “children's home”.
D. The children's parents will pay for the substitute mother.
52. What's the best title for the passage?
A. Left-behind Children's Problems B. Substitute Mothers in Villages
C. Left-behind Women's Problems D. Substitute Children in Villages
(C)
We can express thoughts and feelings and send sounds and pictures on our smartphones today. We can't send tastes，smells or touch. But some scientists in Britain are trying to develop a way for smartphones to do that.
To give users a sense of taste, Adrian David Cheok and some other scientists designed two electrodes (电极片). “You put these two electrodes in your mouth, you put your tongue in between and then your tongue will get a virtual taste perception (虚拟味觉) in your brain,” said Professor Cheok. They have already created sour, salty, sweet and bitter tastes.
A device called “Scentee” permits users to have the sense of smell. Scientists put a Scentee into a smartphone, and it can spray (喷射) small clouds of fragrance, including flowers, fruits and

coffee. Professor Cheok says the person speaking can activate (激活) the device. Scentee holds a container with about 100 different smells. The container must be replaced when all the smells run out.
The sense of touch comes from a ring-like device. It is connected wirelessly to the smartphone. “I can be in London and my friend can be in Tokyo, and I can squeeze my finger and then they'll get a squeeze on their finger through the Internet. It's a way of touch communication with small mobile devices,” Professor Cheok said.
Professor Cheok hopes devices like these will someday be added to houses. He says they may change the future of long-distance communication.
53. Adrian David Cheok and some other scientists are trying to .
A. make smartphones smaller B. make smartphones send sounds and pictures
C. make smartphones much cheaper D. make smartphones send tastes, smells and touch
54. According to the passage, the tongue will get a virtual taste perception by .

C. touching the device called “Scentee”
D. connecting to a ring-like device wirelessly
55. What does the underlined word “fragrance” mean ?
A. 痛苦 B. 权利 C. 香味 D. 力量
56. From the third paragraph we can infer(推断) that .
A. different smells can be put inside Scentee
B. the container can only hold 50 different smells
C. people needn't activate the device called Scentee
D. all the smells can be reused, so they won't run out
57. What's the main idea of this passage?
A. The history of long-distance communication.
B. Future smartphones can send tastes, smells and touch.
C. How smartphones work.

Many countries all over the world have National Parks. There are about 7，000 National Parks around the world. Most of them protect natural settings as well as the plants and animals that live there, but a few are in towns and cities.
Are there National Parks in England?
There are nine National Parks in England. The first three were the Peak District, the Lake District and Dartmoor, which were all named as National Parks in 1951. Others followed afterwards, such as the North York Moors in 1952, the New Forest in 2005 and the South Downs in 2010.
Are there any problems in the National Parks?
First, there are about 110 million visitors to the parks every year, bringing many benefits to the areas but creating problems too. Many popular towns and villages can be swamped(使淹没) by visitors. This results in overcrowded car parks and roads choked with traffic. Life can be difficult for people who live there, as more and more gift shops and cafes are opened instead of those everyday shops; in popular areas, house prices can become too high for local people making it hard for them to stay in the area.
Another major problem is litter. In the parks it is a particular danger to animals. Broken glass can also cause fires by focusing the rays of the sun. When these start in wild places, they are much harder to control and can damage large areas very quickly.
How can people help?
All National Parks in England promote the Countryside Code, which tells people how to take care of their environment. If these rules are followed, the National Parks will be protected and continue to give pleasure to many people for a long time.
73. What were the first three National Parks in England?
74. What two main problems do the National Parks in England have?
75. Do you think it necessary to protect the National Parks? Why or Why not?

That evening the shoemaker cut up the leather, leaving it on his table, he climbed the stairs to bed. The next morning the shoemaker couldn’t believe his eyes. On his table was the best pair of shoes he had ever seen. He put the shoes in his shop window and that afternoon a gentleman bought them for a price that surprised the shoemaker.
The money was enough to buy enough leather to make two new pairs of shoes. The shoemaker cut up the leather and left it lying on his table, and went to bed. The next morning, when he came downstairs, the shoemaker saw two pairs of beautiful new shoes! So it went on for weeks. Every night the shoemaker cut out the leather and left it on his table. And every morning there were pretty shoes waiting to be sold. Then the shoemaker lived a happy life.

Dear Mr Lee,
I’m very glad to write to you. I have some problems and feel really stressed these days. Every day I have so much homework to do that I feel sleepy in class the next day. I hardly have any spare time for sports, which makes my life very boring.
I know it is important to finish all my homework on time, so I am trying to plan my day carefully. And it will help me relax by taking exercise or listening to music. Sometimes, when I feel tired, I will look at the color of blue, as blue can bring peace to my mind and body.
But I still can’t solve some of my problems. For example, my parents don’t want me to do my homework while listening to music. They think it makes me distracted…(自己补充2点) (e.g. I’m not allowed to watch TV or surf the Internet./I don’t have any close friends. Sometimes I feel lonely./ My parents do not allow me to play football after school. etc.)
What should I do? Can you offer me some suggestions? I hope to have a good talk with you soon.
Best wishes,
Sandy
