Thirty-five years ago, English comedian Marty Feldman completed the autobiography, put it away and set off for Mexico to make a film. He never returned, dying of a heart attack during
filming.
Only Feldman‟s widow Lauretta knew about the autobiography and the valuable material it contained, but she found reading it too painful and the book remained a secret, hidden from the public.
It was only after her death in 2010 that family friend Mark Flanagan discovered the manuscript. Four years later from then it was published for the first time.
The comedian and actor famous for his crooked(扭曲的) eyes once wrote, “My eyes were perhaps brought on by an accident when a boy stuck a pencil in my eye at school or the result of a boating accident, when I almost drowned. My looks are my comic equipment, and they are the right packaging for my job.”
Despite being told he was too"strange for TV by broadcasting legend David Frost, Feldman made a break in 1967. He became famous writing, and then landed a successful run of hit TV shows in the sixties and seventies, both in the UK and America. Feldman‟s comic genus also led to films, including a memorable role as Igor in Mel brooks‟Young Frankenstein, starring Gene Wilder.
He died suddenly in 1982 aged 48 on location in Mexico while shooting a film. Flanagan says, “the day Marty shot his final scene, Graham Chapman received a frantic call from him: …Please come quickly—I think I‟m dying.‟Graham rushed to Marty‟s room, knowing from the tone of his voice that this was not a trick. Marty was still alive but laboring, and Graham asked someone to call an ambulance and the hotel to find life-saving equipment. It was not enough to save him."
24. Why didn't Feldman's wife want to publish his autobiography?
A. She liked to keep secret from the public.
B She didn‟t know his autobiography at all.
C. She felt sad when she read it.
D. She had a quarrel with her family friend.
25. What does the underlined word"manuscript"in Paragraph 3 mean
A. a writer's first version of a book before it is published.
B A valuable book that was published not long ago.
C. The only remaining copy after it was published.
D. The right for someone to publish a book.
26. How long had Feldman been dead before his autobiography was first published?
A. 18 years.
B. 22 years.
C. 24 years.
D 32 years.
27. From the passage we can know______.
A. David Frost thought Feldman was a legend and genius
B. Feldman was shot when making a film
C. no one knew Feldman died in a hotel
D. Feldman telephoned his friend before he died

As a senior high school student, have you ever considered what kind of college are you going to choose? Maybe the topics and discussions of you and your parents typically focus on the college itself. Is the institution small or large? How strong are the academics? What is the social life like? Do I like the campus? Such considerations are important, but you may ignore the all-important question: Where will these college years lead?
As an applicant, you should think seriously about which college on your list can best prepare you for the real world. You should look for campuses that offer well-structured programs to help you form a direction for your lives and develop the capacity to take steps along that path.
One of the most striking recent phenomena about college graduates in America has been the “boomerang”student: the young person who goes away to college, has a great experience, graduates, and then moves back home for a year or two to figure out what to do with his or her life. This pattern has left many graduates--and their families -wondering whether it makes sense to spend four or more years at college, often at great expense, and finish with no clear sense of who they are or what they want to do next.
The trend points to one of the great shortcomings of many of our nation‟s leading colleges and universities. Structured opportunities to think about life after graduation are rare. The formal curriculum focuses almost universally on the academic disciplines of the arts and sciences.
Advising on how various majors connect to pathways into the workplace is typically accidental. Career planning offices are often shorthanded and unimportant to college life.
It doesn‟t need to be this way, and in tecent years some of the country‟s top colleges have enriched their academic offerings with opportunities for students to gain real-world experiences.
28. What to people typically ignore when choosing a college?
A.The difficulty in finding jobs after graduation.
B.The function of college education in employment.
C.High school students‟ interests.
D.The academies of college.
29. Which accounts for the"trend"mentioned in the fourth paragraph?
A.Students failing to behave themselves.
B.Parents overprotecting their children.
C.Schools lacking proper guidance.
D.Students choosing majors blindly.
30. What is the author going so talk about in the following paragraph?
A.Good academic programs in college.
B.Recipes for academic achievements.
C.Academic tips for college students.
D.Disadvantages of present college courses.
31. what‟s the best title for the text?
A.Connect subjects with life beyond college.
B.A new trend in top colleges.
C.Make college one of life‟s richest experience.
D.A good way to choose a college.

British shoppers buy 2.15 million tonnes of clothing and shoes annually, yet UK citizens have an estimated £30 billion worth of unused clothing sitting in their wardrobes. But the new technology could see the end of that, with the garments themselves giving owners a gentle reminder of their existence.
“Smart clothes” could help us clear out our wardrobes by sending messages or tweeting us if they haven‟t been worn for a good while. If there alerts are ignored, the garments will get in touch with a clothing charity and ask to the reused, with an organization automatically sending out donation information. They could also be programmed to put themselves up for sale on eBay Academics at Birmingham City University are developing the “connected wardrobe”to encourage more suitable clothes consumption. The concept sees garments tagged using washable contactless technology.
Mark Brill, senior lecturer at Birmingham City University, said, “Think of the surprise when an owner suddenly receives bids for items that they didn't know were in their wardrobe.”“The connected wardrobe is a practical, pleasant concept to encourage people to think about their clothing consumption. Finally, I hope it will encourage more appropriate fashion consumption,”he added. “Perhaps we can even move away from the idea of …ownership‟ of clothing. When we've won them enough, the items will pass themselves on to their next keeper.
It follows in the footsteps of the “Internet of things-a concept that sees ordinary household items connecting to the Internet in order to share information. From adjusting your alarm clock to monitoring the temperature of your home, the Internet is changing the way we live. Now, the “Internet of Clothes” will see that neglected garments will tweet and text the owners “asking” to be worn depending on the weather and frequency of wear Clothes will keep track of other information such as who owned them previously, as well as how much they originally cost, who made them and how much the worker was paid for them.
32.What do we know about “smart clothes” according to the passage?
A.They may be donated on eBay.
B.They have gained in popularity.
C.They may be recycled if long forgotten.
D.They give warnings if worn out.
33. How does Mark Brill find the"connected wardrobe"?
A. It contributes to right consumption attitudes.
B. It helps people buy cheaper clothes.
C. It changes people's shopping habits.
D. It improves people's consumer confidence.
34. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The internet is a platform to share items.
B. Weather affects the connected wardrobe.
C. Clothes are sold online at a low price.
D. Clothes can be a source of information.
35. what's the authors attitude to the new technology?
A. Critical.
B. Approving.
C. Indifferent.
D. Skeptical.

Understanding the Misunderstood Teenage Brain
Frances Jensen, a neuroscientist, has been studying the human brain for almost all of her career 36 Her findings might also provide help for parents, teachers. and anyone hoping to understand the complex mind of a teenager. Myth(谬论)1-A teen’s body and brain grow at the same pace
When children reach adolescence, their bodies change. 37 You might think that their brains are also becoming more like adult brains. Not true, says Dr. Jensen. “The brain is the last organ in the body to mature. And it takes into the mid-20s for it to complete.” Jensen says if one compares the brain to a puzzle, the teenage brain has many puzzle pieces still not in place. She says the teen brain has a different structure and chemistry from an adult brain.
Myth2- The teenage brain is resilient (能复原的)
Another myth Dr. Jensen put to test is how teenagers are able to recover from a bad experience----what we call being resilient. At times, she says, the teenage brain is resilient. 38 Things like stress and drug and alcohol use can give teens long-term problems. “There are certain things that can affect them life-long. With the same amount of experiences like stress or alcohol or pot, an adult may sail through it. 39 ”
Myth 3-teenagers are lazy
When teenagers stay up late at night and wake up late in the morning, parents may think it is because they are lazy. 40 She says a teens biological clock is set differently from an adults. An adult releases that sleep-causing hormone around 8: 30 at night. But a teenager's brain does not release that chemical until about ll at night. This leads to a later bedtime, even when the teen has to wake up early the next morning.
A. But in other ways it is not.
B. Teenagers start to look like adults.
C. This lack of action is another myth about teenagers.
D. Some parts of the teenage brain are simply not yet connected.
E. What she found might clear up some misunderstandings about teenagers.
F. This new information about the teenage brain can help adults do a better job.
G. For the same exposure, but a teenager bear a long-term problem based on that.

参考例文
Dear Bob,
How‟s everything going? In your last letter you were asking about the current situation of the Bike-sharing Program in China. I‟m writing to tell you something about it and share some of my ideas with you.
Undoubtedly, the Bike-sharing Program can bring lots of benefits. To begin with, riding a bike is not only economic but also time-saving, especially when your destination is not far away. What‟s more, the program makes contributions to reducing air pollution.
However, there is also some disturbing news connected with it. Some shared-bikes are parked everywhere, making the city roads messy and dangerous. Worse still, some shared-bikes haven been damaged, stolen or even burnt.
As far as I‟m concerned, as long as people park the bikes in the right places and obey the traffic rules, I‟m definitely in favor of such a program. What do you think?
I‟m looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
Li
Hu
a。
