And when it cools down I sometimes do some ironing. I dont really care for it. I work full-time and I am too busy for most housework. I remember the old woman who taught me to iron. I was about 15 and I had to get a job taking care of a woman to make a living. She had been an able-bodied, healthy woman until the accident that caused her to be paralyzed.The woman sat in an electric wheelchair all day. She could only move her head and arms. She would tell me how to do things. She would teach me in great detail on the correct ways to do things. Her home was perfect and beautiful. She would follow me around in her electric wheelchair to make sure I did everything exactly right. Im sure she had been a perfect homemaker. She would have me fold(折叠) everything, including socks. I would complain silently and wish terrible things on her. She taught me the right way to make the bed. I know sometimes shed get frustrated(沮丧) and impatient with me. I knew she wanted to do it herself. But she never shouted or scolded. She only insisted I do it right. I didnt like it much, but I did it.Today I can iron pretty well. I know where to start on a shirt and the right way to do the trousers. Now when I think about it, I dont think she is an old lady. I think she might have been about my age now. Anyway, when I iron, I think of her and silently thank her for all the things I learned.34.

The principal made the suggestions in order for the students to _.A. make contributions to societyB. achieve greet progress in high schoolC. love high school lifeD. finish high schoolDAfter spending years searching for a planet with life, scientists may have found one. In September 2010, a team of US scientists discovered an Earth-sized planet called Gliese 581g. It has a surface temperature neither too hot nor too cold for liquid（液态）water. Scientists think there is a chance that the planet could have life.The planet Gliese 581g goes around a star called Gliese 581, which is about 20 light-years from Earth. That is about 194 trillion（万亿）kilometres 500 million times farther away from us than the moon.A spacecraft traveling at a one-tenth of the speed of light would reach Gliese 581g within about 220 years. A human cant live that long, but robotic explorers could make the job easier. However, our fastest spacecraft dont come anywhere near that one-tenth light-speed mark.At present, scientists dont know what the surface might be like on Gliese 581g. What they know is that the planet is at the sight distance from its star to have liquid water. Its also at the right distance to have an atmosphere that could protect the water if it is on the surface.Although spacecraft wont be getting there anytime soon, one way to look for life on Gliese 581g is to turn our radio telescopes（望远镜）towards the planet and search for radiation（放射）. By studying the radiation, scientists would find out about the chemicals（化学物质）around the planet and discover it Gliese 581g has an atmosphere. If it has one, studying the atmosphere would give us a good idea if the planet has life or not. But itll probably be many years before we can do this properly.People have been arguing about whether there is alien life on Gliese 581g. Any discussion about alien life is just guessing at this point, according to its discoverers.42. What did scientists find in September 2010?A. A planet with water.B. A planet similar to the earth.C. A planet without life.D. A planet near the earth.43. According to the article, Gliese 581g _.A. is at the right distance from its star B. moves around the earthC. is as far away from us as the moonD. can be reached in about 220 years44. Paragraph 5 is mainly about _.A. the possibility of living on Gliese 581gB. the kinds of chemicals around Gliese 581gC. the way of looking for life on Gliese 581gD. the aim of studying the radiation on Gliese 581g45. Which of the following is the best title for the passage above?A. Gliese 581g, a Likely Living Planet B. Gliese 581, a Likely Living PlanetC. Gliese 581g and Its StarD. Gliese 581g and Radiation四、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分）根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空：在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。（每空一词）46. We should pay attention to our behavior and try to be good _.（公民）47.
