But touching things can help you to see them better.Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it.With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pockets. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music.All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we often have to touch things before we buy them.The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a hard floor. All feel different under your feet.There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin……Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show.21. By touching things,___________. .A. you will have a strange feelingB. you will learn how to reach outC. you can see things betterD. you can tell what colors they are22. Which of the following best serves as the best title of the story?A. Touching by FeelingB. To See or to FeelC. Seeing by FeelingD. Seeing Is Believing23. When people buy things in shops, they often _________ .A. try them on firstB. put their right hand on themC. just have a lookD. feel and touch themBMargaret, married with two small children, has been working for the last seven years as a night cleaner, cleaning offices in a big building.She got trained as a nurse, but had to give it up when her elder child became seriously ill. “I would have liked to go back to it , but the shifts(工作班次)are all wrong for me, as I have to be home to get the children up and off to school.”So she works as a cleaner instead, from 9 p.m. till 6 a.m. five nights a week for just ￡90, before tax and insurance. “It’s better than it was last year, but I still think that people who work ‘unsocial hours’ should get a bit extra.”The hours she’s chosen to work mean that she sees plenty of the children, but very little of her husband. However, she doesn’t think that puts any pressure on their relationship.Her work isn’t physically very hard, but it’s not exactly pleasant, either. “I do get angry with people who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs. If they realized people like me have to do it, perhaps they’d be a bit more careful.”The fact that she’s working all night doesn’t worry Margaret at all. Unlike some dark buildings at night, the building where she works is fully lit, and the women work in groups of three. “Since I’ve got to be here, I try to enjoy myself－and I usually do, together with the other girls. We all have a good laugh, so the time never drags.”Another challenge Margaret has to face is the reaction of other people when she tells them what she does for a living. “They think you’re a cleaner because you don’t know how to read and write,” said Margaret. “I used to think what my parents would say if they knew what I’d been doing, but I don’t think that way any more. I don’t dislike the work though I can’t say I’m mad about it.”24．Margaret quit her job as a nurse because ______ ．A．she wanted to earn more money to support her familyB．she had suffered a lot of mental pressureC．she needed the right time to look after her childrenD．she felt tired of taking care of patients25．Margaret gets angry with people who work in the office because ______ ．A．they never clean their offices B．they look down upon cleanersC．they never do their work carefully D. they always make a mess in their offices 26．When at work, Margaret feels ______ ．A．light-hearted because of her fellow workers B．happy because the building is fully lit C．tired because of the heavy workload D．bored because time passes slowly 27．The underlined part in the last paragraph implies that Margaret’s parents would _____ ．A．help care for her children B．regret what they had saidC．show sympathy for her D．feel disappointed with herCI was appreciating my family photos on my computer, admiring my two beautiful babies when I found a disturbing scene: my laptop was in almost all the pictures. There was my daughter, 8 months old, playing at my feet while I was typing on the couch. There was my son, with a big transformer, on my left arms.I’d heard about the Internet addiction before, but I always thought it was something only limited to playing too much World of Warcraft (a computer game) day and night. Now, it seemed my Internet-habit is slowly but surely crossing the line. Sometimes I find myself up at midnight, surfing the Web while my family are sleeping. I read news, keep up with friends and write my blog … just for something to do.It turns out that I’m not the only mama who is addicted to the computer. These moms are contributing to a growing global addiction. There’s a movement among psychiatrists (doctors who specialize in mental diseases) to recognize the Internet addiction as an official mental disorder. And a recent Stanford University national survey found that 14 percent of Internet users find it hard to stay away from it for several days at a time; 9 percent try to hide their ―unnecessary Internet use from their loved ones; 8 percent admit they use the Web as a way to escape problems.You’re likely not the kind of addict who doesn’t bathe and abuses drugs to help her stay up for more online time. You may have noticed, though, that going online has become a necessary part of your life, which, at least, means a box of clothes go unwashed. It may also mean you’re missing much time with you baby – something you probably do care about.28. From Paragraph 1, we can conclude that _______.A. the author was busy taking care of her babiesB. the author’s job had something to do with computersC. the author was not good at taking photos of her babiesD. the author looked after her babies while using the computer.29. The author used to think that the Internet addiction is ________.A. using the web at midnightB. keeping up with friends onlineC. spending too much time onlineD. being addicted to computer games30. In medical terms, the Internet addiction is ________.A. a personal life habitB. a way to escape problemsC. an official mental disorderD. the unnecessary use of the Internet31. What does the author want to express in the last but one paragraph?A. Many women still can control their online time.B. The Inte rnet addiction influences housewives’ lives a lot.C. Going online has become a necessary part of women’s lives.D. Many people don’t realize that they are addicted to the Internet.DCanadian short story writer Alice Munro won the Nobel Prize for Literature.Eighty-two-year-old Munro is only the 13th woman to win the 112-year-old prize.Munro didn’t publish her first collection of short stories until she was 37 years old, but her stories have always been well-received. Lots of her stories share similar themes and characters, but each story has its own twists and turns.Even though she’s won Canada’s most famous literary award, the Giller Prize twice, winning the Nobel Prize for Literature is the peak of Munro’s career. “It brings her incredible recognition, both of her and her career, and of the dedication( 投身，奉献) to the short story,” said one person.Along with the well-respected title comes 1.3 million dollars. Munro said everything was “so surprising and wonderful” and that she was “dazed by all the attention and affection that has been coming my way.”Munro knew she was in the list——she was named the second-most likely person to win this year’s prize, after Ha ruki Murakami (村上春树）of Japan——but she never thought that she would win.Munro’s win also represents the long way Canadian writers have come. “When I began writing there was a very small community of Canadian writers and little attention was paid by the world. Now Canadian writers are read, admired and respected around the globe,” Munro said on Thursday.She is technically not the first Canadian to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, but many like to think that she is. In 1976 Saul Bellow, who was born in Quebec but moved to Chicago when he was still a child, won the prize. Even though he was born in Canada, he is mostly considered to be an American writer.“This is a win for us all. Canadians, by our very nature, are not very nationalistic,” said Geoffrey Taylor. “But things like this suddenly make you want to find a flag.”She wasn’t sure if she would keep writing if she won the prize, saying that it would be “nice to go out with a bang. But this may change my mind.”32. What is the feature of Munro’s stories?A. They have complicated (复杂的)contents.B. They have similar story backgrounds.C. They have specific themes for children.D. They have the same characters in each book.33. For Munro, the Nobel Prize is an award for______.A. her love for Canadian cultureB. her devotion to the short storyC. her special form of writingD. her career of editing short stories34. What can you infer from the sixth paragraph?A. Canadian writers paid little attention to the prize.B. Canadian writers were respected across the globe.C. Canadian writers have long been ignored.D. Canadians come a long way to win the prize.35. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. How Alice Munro wins the Nobel PrizeB. An introduction to the Nobel Prize in LiteratureC. Alice Munro wins the Nobel Prize in LiteratureD. A world famous writer, Alice Munro第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
