Internet is a great invention for us, and there are many wonders of the web.
Google Works MiraclesCOOGIE (www.google.com) is a daily miracle to millions of people. If the Internet had only this very fast

Into the Night
The lights from the cottage windows disappear, as we follow a dark footpath through a field into the open
countryside. Thick clouds prevent the moonlight from lighting up the way ahead. Yet, as my eyes begin to get
used to the darkness, the landscape around me reveals itself in a new light.
Mount Caburn, an iron-age hill fort (堡垒), looks like shadows against the sky. On the horizon is a tree bent
by the wind. The rocky outcrop (露出的部分) at the top of the field turns out to be a flock of sleeping sheep. A
fox cries, a pheasant crows, and the air is full of a strong earthy scent.
“For most of human history, man lived in close contact with the land,” says Nigel Berman, my guide. “Only
in the past few hundred years have we shut ourselves off from our natural surroundings. Walking at night is a
powerful way of reconnecting. When your vision is reduced, your other senses are sharpened.”
Nigel and I walk from the village of Glynde across the South Downs towards the town of Lewes. It is a walk
I know well by day, but at night everything is different, and a familiar wander becomes a mini adventure. When
Nigel told me not to bring a torch, I was alarmed. I can’t remember the last time I used my night vision and I’m
not even sure how it works.
Normally, at this time of night, I would be having a glass of wine in front of the television, but being out in
the countryside is a purer form of relaxation. I forget about work and family tensions, and begin to blend into the
surroundings. There is no one other than Nigel to see or hear me and, with little visual distraction, my mind calms.
I am aware of the breeze on my face, the rustle (沙沙声) of leaves, and as I watch the clouds slowly changing
color against the sky like a natural sound and light show, it feels fascinating.
Having got used to the dark, we continue walking and the path that leads up the escarpment (峭壁) of Saxon
Down now appears to almost shine in front of us. We climb carefully, feeling our way on the uneven ground.Walking at night is not without risk, but with knowledge and preparation it opens up a new side to walking.
As we reach the top, Lewes appears below as a twinkly mass of lights, a sight I would generally consider as
inviting. In just a few hours, however, I find myself unwilling to walk back down. Walking at night is like
discovering a new world on your doorstep. As Henry David Thoreau wrote in Night and Moonlight: “Night is
certainly more novel and less profane (世俗的) than day.”
41．According to Nigel Berman, why is walking at night significant?
A．It helps people appreciate natural surroundings.
B．It is a way to take risks and explore new places.
C．It improves our vision and sharpens other senses.
D．It makes us avoid distractions from work and family.
42．Why did the author feel alarmed when Nigel told them not to bring a torch?
A．He was afraid of getting lost in the dark.
B．He hardly had any trust in Nigel as a guide.
C．He didn’t know how to use his night vision.
D．He worried about the way on uneven ground.
43．The night walk brought the following benefits to the author except ________.
A．a reconnection with nature
B．a chance of abandoning wine
C．an escape from daily tensions
D．an approach to getting relaxed
44．What can we learn about the author from the article?
A．He had gone for a walk on his own at night before.
B．He intentionally picked a cloudy night for his walk.
C．He enjoyed the feeling after reaching the top of the mountain.
D．He badly wanted to go home to have a glass of wine after the walk.
45．What is the article mainly about?
A．Describing his night hike through the countryside.
B．Contrasting the experience of day and night walking.
C．Encouraging readers to go on a night walk themselves.
D．Exploring the history of human connection with nature.

Ancient documents are an important part of ancient civilization. Unfortunately, such documents are often
vulnerable (易受……伤害的) to aging and related damage, which greatly reduce their legibility (易读性).
An international group of computer scientists have teamed up to strike up the conversation with ancient
people through their writing that have been broken down by time. They have developed a computer-assisted
method to help us have a conversation with people from the distant past.
Appreciating ancient documents, even when in good condition, can require a reader to dig into the role of a
cryptologist (密码学家). That’s because the combination of a writer’s handwriting legibility, lettering styles, old-
fashioned spelling and grammar conventions or abbreviations (缩写) can make even a native language seem
unfamiliar. Besides, the same document’s legibility can be reduced even more by faded ink, widened lettering due
to exposure to wetness, and so on.
Typical digital reconstruction changes a document into black text on a white background in an attempt to
reveal the text through noise filtering (过滤) and contrast improvement. However, in this current method, the
image is much more of a restoration effort, keeping much of the look and virtual feel of the document.
Researchers applied a complex integration of several digital color interpretation techniques and Gaussian
mixture models to identify and separate features of text, paper, and historical objects. This allows for the specific
selection of different layers of information based on slight spectral (光谱的) differences. So a user could decide
whether a notation (符号), page decoration, coffee mug ring stain or another feature was critical to the
understanding by adding or removing layers.
In some cases, the technique could preserve features that would otherwise be lost, such as the vague
watermarks of a paper manufacturer, which could offer vital insights to historians. “For example, Leonardo da
Vinci’s famous works were written on pages with watermarks from various paper suppliers that allowed document
historians to group them into likely writing periods,” said Usman Habib, an expert on digital restoration.
According to the paper, the processing can be accomplished on a standard desktop computer, and it takes just
a few minutes. This would make it a great tool for historical document researchers and people attempting to figure
out old family recipes.
46．What does the international team mainly aim to do?
A．Categorize documents of the past.
B．Share developments in computer science.
C．Analyze causes of ancient works’ breakdown.
D．Restore historical writing digitally.
47．Which of the following can best describe the task of reading ancient documents?A．Risky but rewarding. B．Complicated and challenging.
C．Repetitive but fruitless. D．Straightforward and accessible.
48．How does the researchers’ new method perform better than typical ones?
A．It helps remove the trouble of doing repair work.
B．It saves time by applying contrasting backgrounds.
C．It preserves the original appearance of the documents.
D．It raises the quality of images through noise filtering.
49．What can be achieved through the researchers’ new method?
A．Translating the text into different languages.
B．Generating alternative copies of documents.
C．Identifying the dates of the related historical objects.
D．Getting rid of unnecessary layers of information.
50．What is Usman Habib’s attitude toward the new technique?
A．Critical. B．Unclear. C．Favorable. D．Intolerant.

Sometimes just when we need the power of miracles, they arise in the places we would least expect.
On a cold January afternoon in 1989, I was climbing Egypt’s Mt. Horeb, hoping to get to the peak by sunset
to see the valley below. As I was winding up the narrow path, I’d sometimes see other hikers who were coming
down. While they would generally pass with simply a nod or a greeting in another language, there was one man
who did neither.
I saw him coming and as he got closer, I could see that, unlike other hikers, he was wearing traditional
Egyptian galabia( 长 袍 ). What made his appearance so strange was that the man didn’t even appear to be
Egyptian, but was a small-framed Asian man with little hair and round glasses.
As we neared one another, I said Hello, but not a sound came from him. I thought maybe he hadn’t heard me.
Suddenly he stopped directly in front of me, looked up from the ground, and spoke a single sentence to me in
English, “Sometimes you don’t know what you have lost until you’ve lost it.” As I took in what I had just heard,
he simply stepped around me and continued his going down.
That moment in my life was a small miracle. The reason is less about what the man said but more about the
timing and the context. The year was 1989, and it was during my Egyptian pilgrimage (朝圣), and specifically
during my hike to Mt. Horeb, that I’d set the time aside to make decisions that would affect my career, my friends,
原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 8my family, and ultimately, my life.
I had to ask myself what the chances were of an Asian man dressed in an Egyptian galabia coming down
from the top of this historic mountain just when I was walking up, stopping before me, and offering his wisdom,
seemingly from out of nowhere. My answer to my own question was easy: nearly no chance! In a meet that
lasted less than two minutes, a total stranger had brought something clear and something of a warning, regarding
the huge changes that I would make within a matter of days. In my way of thinking, that’s a miracle.
Miracles are everywhere and occur every day for different reasons, in response to the different needs that we
may have in the moment. Our job may be less about questioning the extraordinary things that happen in our daily
lives and more about accepting the gifts they bring.
51．Before the Asian man spoke, how did the author think about him?
A．He was very rude and strange.
B．He was different from others.
C．He was shy and nod to strangers.
D．He looked ordinary and was talkative.
52．Why did the author make a pilgrimage to Mt Horeb in Egypt ?
A．He was in search of a miracle in his life.
B．It was a place for a religious person to head for.
C．He intended to make arrangements for his future life.
D．He waited patiently in expectation of meeting a wise person.
53．What does the underlined part “my own question” refer to in paragraph 6 ?
A．For what reason did the man stop before me ?
B．Why did the Asian man go to the mountain ?
C．What change would I make within a matter of days ?
D．What was the probability that others told us the right words ?
54．Why did the author view the meet with the Asian man as a miracle in his life?
A．Because the Asian man’s appearance had a deciding effect on his future life.
B．Because his words were in perfect response to the need he had at that moment.
C．Because what the Asian man said was meaningful in the philosophy of life.
D．Because the Asian man impressed on him the worth of what he had possessed.
55．What might be the best title for the passage ?
A．Can you recognize a miracle? B．Is a miracle significant to us?
C．When might a miracle occur? D．Why do we need a miracle?第 II 卷

第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals. This sometimes happens with
humans also. But I have found that my weakness discloses the kindness in people. I see it every day when people
hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes
them happy.
From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear
independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others. Often, we try every way
possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending
we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.
Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than
usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭)
or even shouting at me. At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of
driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.
No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, “I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the
best I can.” And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around
me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the
driver in front of them was in some way weak.
Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those are few
and far between. More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend
that we are brave when we are scared.
56．When will people feel happy as the author has discovered ? (No more than 7 words)

58．What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights? (No more than 6 words)
59．What does the underlined the sentence in the last paragraph probably mean?(No more than 5 words)
