The Library CartMartin Murrilo's green and yellow library cart is well-known in the narrow
streets of Bolivar, in Colombia (波利瓦尔省，哥伦比亚).Every day he pushes a
heavy cart of books around the city. He invites people to borrow books for free.
There are about 160 books in the cart, but he has got over 1000 books. Most of
his books are donated by people who support his work.
Two years ago, he used to earn a living by selling water in the street. As he was waiting for
the customers, he sat there and read. One day a reporter saw him and offered him some books
from his office. That is how the library cart started. People from all walks of life are welcome to
pick up a book from his cart and read. He doesn't keep a record of who borrows which book. He
trusts ( 信任 ) people to return the books after reading them. Every Friday he introduces his cart
at a culture event where he talks to the children about the importance of reading and of the books
he likes most. He often reads passages of his favorite books there. He hopes more young people
can find the magic of reading.
With the cart, he wants to encourage the people to form good reading habits. People in
Europe read an average of 4 books a month but in Colombia people read an average of 1.5 books
a year. To the people in Colombia, books are expensive and few can afford to buy them. Besides,
people do everything on computers nowadays and many have forgotten the joy of reading. ,

B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage (选择最恰当的单词或词语完
成短文)：（12分）Ten years later, I can remember my time in seventh grade like
yesterday. The thing I remember most about is my English teacher, Mr.
Mabry. He was, by far, the best teacher in the world. First of all, he didn't
use 80 method of teaching. Instead, he used his theater background to
make learning English grammar fun for the whole class. When we studied
Shakespeare, we 81 acted out the parts, so that we really had a good
understanding of Shakespeare's works.
He also did many other things for us. He encouraged his students to ask questions about
anything and everything and then, he would 82 to give us an honest answer. He taught us
how to trust one another by playing games with us. He would make one person 83
backward while another person stood behind and caught him. As well, he used to let us have
parties every week at school. If we wanted to have a party, he would give us our homework
for the day of the party and we would do it at home. Then he would check our work and we
would be 84 to have a party if everyone had done the homework and understood it.
Some of the kids in the school had problems at home. Mr. Mabry acted as a parent for
these children. He 85 them patiently and listened to their complaint. He encouraged them to
do things that they really liked. Being the best teacher in the world is the greatest honour for
any teacher, and Mr. Mabry certainly deserves it.

81 A) actually B) hardly C) possibly D) immediately
82 . A) make his decision B) do his best
C) do a favor D) take a look

I didn't cry when I learned I was the parent of a disabled (残疾的）child.
"Go ahead and cry," the doctor advised kindly, but I couldn't cry then, nor during the days
that followed.
When Jenny was old enough, I sent her to a kindergarten. On the first morning, Jenny
spent hours playing by herself. It seemed that she felt very 1 86 .
However, to my joy, Jenny's classmates always encouraged, her, ‘you got all your spelling
words right today!" In fact her spelling list was the e 87 Late she faced a very painful problem
—at the end of the term, there was a game which had something to do with physical education.
But Jenny was way behind in it:
My husband and I were anxious (忧虑）about the day. I wanted to keep her home. Why let
Jenny fail in a gymnasium filled with parents, students and teachers? What a simple s 88 ! But
my heart wouldn't let me off that easily. So I pushed a pale, unwilling Jenny onto the school bus.At the kindergarten, I was quite worried because of her s 89 action. Jenny would probably
hold up (阻碍） her team. The game went on well until it was time for the sack (麻袋） race.
Surely Jenny would find it difficult. Now each child had to climb into a sack, jump to the
finishing line, return and climb out of the sack. I noticed Jenny standing near the end of her line of
players.
But as it was her turn to join, a c 90 place in her team. The tallest boy behind Jenny placed
his hands on her waist (腰).Two other boys stood ahead of her. The moment the player before
Jenny stepped out from the sack, those two boys picked up the sack quickly and held it open
while the tall boy lifted Jenny and dropped her into it. A girl in front of Jenny took her hand and s
91 her until Jenny gained her balance. Then she jumped forward, smiling and proud.
In the cheers of teachers, schoolmates and parents, I silently thanked Heaven for the warm,
understanding people in life who make it p 92 for my disabled daughter to be like her fellow
human beings. Then I finally cried.

A different kind of alarm clock
When Matty Sallin, 34, was studying art and technology at New York University, he got an
interesting task for the final exam: Create something for the ordinary family. He decided to create
an alarm clock.
"To get up in time, many people have to use an alarm clock every morning. But the sound of
the clock is extremely noisy and unpleasant," he says. So before he started to design the new
clock, he asked different people what they'd like to wake up to in the morning. A lot of them said,
"The smell of bacon (培根肉）
So Sallin and his two classmates invented a new kind of alarm clock: a wooden box with a
pig face and a digital (数码的） clock that uses the smell of cooking bacon to wake people up. He
explains, "There's no danger of burning, because I built it carefully. It uses special light bulbs (灯
泡）instead of a fire for cooking and turns off automatically after ten minutes." Just a few easy
steps are required to set the "alarm".
"What you do is to put a few pieces of bacon meat inside the box the night before, and then
you set the alarm" says Sallin. "If you set the alarm for 8:00, it will turn on at 7:50 and slow cook
for ten minutes under the bulbs. Then the bulbs turn off and a fan blows the smell out through the
nose of the pig.
"So the pleasant smell of bacon will wake you up. There will be no more noisy alarms," says
Sallin. "Then you can open the door on the side and pull the bacon out and eat it."
When Sallin was a kid, he spent a lot of time making drawings of inventions. "I wanted to
make a lift in my back yard and a special tree house" he says. "But I never really thought I'd
become an inventor!"
Sallin got an A for his alarm clock and went on to invent other things—but people continue
to email him every day asking where they can buy his alarm clock. If he decides to produce and
sell his special alarm clock, maybe he can build a successful business out of it.
93.What was Matty Sallin?
94.How many people worked together on the new alarm clock?95.How long did it take to cook the bacon?
93._____________________Why are light bulbs used for
cooking bacon instead of a fire?

_____________wakes people up instead of the loud alarm.
