On 43 days, she wore heavy clothes and a pair of woolen gloves. Summertime brought out neat, belted cotton dresses and a hat pulled low over her sunglasses. 44 , she was an ordinary working woman. Of course, I 45 all this only after she was seen no more. It was then that I realized how much I expected to see her each morning. You might say I 46 her.“Did she have an accident? Something 47 ?” I thought to myself about her 48 . Now that she was gone, I felt I had known her. I began to realize that part of our 49 life probably includes such chance meetings with familiar 50 : the milkman you see at dawn, the woman who 51 walks her dog along the street every morning, the twin brothers you see at the library. Such people are 52 markers in our lives. They add weight to our 53 of place and belonging.Think about it. If, while walking to work, we mark where we are by 54 a certain building, why should we not mark where we are when wepass a familiar, though 55 person?41. A. MakeB. TakeC. GiveD.

I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language the way it can evoke (唤起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them all all the Englishes I grew up with. Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, Ive been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English. But I feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked certain wholeness. Ive heard other terms used, “limited English,” for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including peoples perceptions (生疏) of the limited English speaker. I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mothers “limited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I wont get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for a lack of a better term might be described as “broken”, and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal (内在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure: I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show: her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.56. By saying “Language is the tool of my trade”, the author means that _. A. she uses English in foreign trade B. she is fascinated by languages C. she works as a translator D. she is a writer by profession57. The author used to think of her mothers English as _. A. impolite B. amusing C. imperfectD. practical58. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3? A. Americans do not understand broken English. B. The authors mother was not respected sometimes. C. The authors mother had positive influence on her. D. Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts.59. The author gradually realizes her mothers English is _. A. well structured B. in the old style C. easy to translate D. rich in meaning60. What is the passage mainly about? A. The changes of the authors attitude to her mothers English. B. The limitation of the authors perception of her mother. C. The authors misunderstanding of “limited” English. D. The authors experiences of using broken English.(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 computer 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 / nanoelectromechanical 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 batterys size, but also in its semiconductor (半导体). Kwons battery uses a liquid semiconductor ra
