intended for nonnative learners,none of my classmates had one __13__,to be honest,
I found it extremely __14__ to use at first. I would look up words in the dictionary
and __15__ not fully understand the meanings. I was used to the __16__ bilingual
dictionaries,in which the words are __17__ both in English and Chinese. I really

Rae Armantrout, who has been a poetry professor at the University of California
San Diego(UCSD) for two decades, has won the xx Pulitzer Prize in the poetry category
for her most recent book, “Versed”.
“I’m delighted and amazed at how much media recognition that the Pulitzer
brings, as pared to even the National Book Critics Award, which I was also surprised
and delighted to win,” said Armantrout.
“For a long time, my writing has been just below the media radar, and to have
this kind of attention, suddenly, with my 10th book, is really surprising.”
Armantrout, a native Californian, received her bachelor’s degree at UC
Berkeley, where she studied with noted poet Denise Levertov, and her master’s in
creative writing from San Francisco State University. She is a founding member of
Language Poets, a group in American poetry that analyzes the way language is used
and raises questions to make the reader think.
In March, she won the National Book Critics Circle Award for “Versed.”
“This book has gotten more attention,” Armantrout said, “but I don’t feel
as if it’s better.”
The first half of “Versed” focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the United
States as it fought the war against Iraq. The second half looks at the dark forces
casting a shadow over her own life after Armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in
xx.
Armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the Pulitzer but many of her
colleagues were not. “Rae Armantrout is a unique voice in American poetry,” said
Seth Lerer, head of Arts and Humanities at UCSD.
“Versed”, published by the Wesleyan University Press, did appear in a larger
printing than her earlier works, which is about 2,700 copies. The new edition is
scheduled to appear in May.
31. According to Rae Armantrout, ____________.
A. her 10th book is much better
B. her winning the Pulitzer is unexpected
C. the media is surprised at her works
D. she likes being recognized by her readers
32. Which of the following is true of Rae Armantrout?
A. She published a poetry textbook. B. She used to teach Denise Levertov.
C. She started a poets’ group with others. D. She taught creative writing
at UC Berkeley.
33. What can we learn about “Versed”?
A. It consists of three parts.
B. It is mainly about the American army.
C. It is a book published two decades ago.
D. It partly concerns the poet’s own life.
34. Rae Armantrout’s colleagues think that she ____________.
A. should write more B. has a sweet voice
C. deserves the prize D. is a strange professor
35. What can we learn from the text?
A. About 2,700 copies of “Versed” will be printed.
B. Cancer made Armantrout stop writing.
C. Armantrout got her degrees at UCSD.
D. “Versed” has been awarded twice.
B
Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems. While
scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems
can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices
themselves. University of Missouri(MU) researchers are developing a nuclear energy
source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.
“To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density(密
度)”,said Jae Kwon, assistant professor of electrical and puter engineering at
MU. “The radioisotope(放射性同位素) battery can provide power density that is much
higher than chemical batteries.”
Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery,
presently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro /
nanoelectromechanreal systems (M/NEMS). Although nuclear batteries can cause
concerns, Kwon said they are safe.
“People hear the word ‘nuclear’ and think of something very dangerous,” he
said, “However, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety
of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems.”
His new idea is not only in the battery’s size, but also in its semiconductor(半
导体). Kwon’s battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid
semiconductor.
“The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy,
part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure(晶体结构) of the solid
semiconductor,” Kwon said, “By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can
minimize that problem.”
Together with J. David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director
of the MU Research Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery. In the
future, they hope to increase the battery’s power, shrink its size and try with
various other materials. Kwon said that battery could be thinner than the thickness
of human hair.
36. Which of the following is true of Jae Kwon?
A. He teaches chemistry at MU. B. He developed a chemical battery.
C. He is working on a nuclear energy source.
D. He made a breakthrough in puter engineering.
37. Jae Kwon gave examples in Paragraph 4_________.
A. to show chemical batteries are widely applied.
B. to introduce nuclear batteries can be safely used.
C. to describe a nuclear-powered system.
D. to introduce various energy sources.
38. Liquid semiconductor is used to _________.
A. get rid of the radioactive waste
B. test the power of nuclear batteries.
C. decrease the size of nuclear batteries
D. reduce the damage to lattice structure.
39. According to Jae Kwon, his nuclear battery _______.
A. uses a solid semiconductor
B. will soon replace the present ones.
C. could be extremely thin
D. has passed the final test.
40. The text is most probably a ________.
A. science news report B. book review
C. newspaper ad D. science fiction story
四、阅读表达
Your schooldays should be some of the best and happiest days of your life. How
can you gain the most from them, and ensure you do not waste this wonderful
opportunity to learn.
〔1〕Be positive about school! Don't say things are difficult or boring. Be
interested in school-life and your school subjects. Join in lots of activities. Be
quick to put your hand up. Go round the school with a big smile.
〔2〕Expect to work. School is not a holiday camp. If you are not working, you
are not learning, and you are wasting your time at school. Teachers cannot make
everything enjoyable.
(3〕Keep fit. If you do not eat a good breakfast, you will be thinking about
food in class. If you go to bed late and do not have enough sleep, you will be sleepy
in class. Play some sports to keep your body strong.
〔4〕__________________________. Do not say you will do things tomorrow. If you
get behind the class, it is very difficult to get back in front. You cannot finish
a race if you rest all the time.
〔5〕Don't be too disappointed if things sometimes go badly. Everyone fails some
tests, loses some matches and has bad days. Friends are not always perfect, and they
sometimes say and do unpleasant things. Don't let small problems seem very big and
important.
〔6〕Talk about problems—sometimes they are only the result of misunderstanding.
Don't be too embarrassed to ask for help. You are young. No one thinks you can do
everything!
〔7〕Plan your time. Don't waste life lying in bed on Saturday morning. Go and
play a sport, learn the piano, work on a project, read a book, practise English,
or help someone with problems. There are always a lot of things to do.
〔8〕Set targets. If your last grade was a D, work for a C. Try to make progress
bit by bit. Think of small targets: "I will speak in class four times this week",
"I will finish my project on Wednesday" or "I will get two more marks this week".
Follow my advice, and have a happy school-life!

Nowadays, more and more people show their interest in English, because English
plays a role as an international language .However, some of them are worried about
their spoken English. They don’t think their English is standard enough to make
them have a good munication with foreigners.
In my opinion, it is quite normal for people to have this kind of worry .After
all we are not native English speakers, besides some times we speak English with
strong accent. But as is known to us all, people even from English –speaking
countries, speak quite differently.
Therefore as long as we practice speaking, listening and reading constantly,
we can improve our oral English and only in this way can we municate the foreigners
well.
