the"Great American Dream" ．However ，he experienced severe financial hardship when his family

Miller's most famous play，Death of a Salesman，is a powerful attack on the American system，with its
aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth．In
Willy Loman，the hero of the play，we see a man who has got into trouble with his worth．Willy is"burnt
out"and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment：if he can't do the work，then he is
no good to his employer，the Wagner Company，and he must go．Willy is painfully aware of this，and at
loss as to what to do with his lack of success ．He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills
himself in the end．
When it was first staged in 1949，the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews，and it won the Tony
Award for Best Play，the New York Drama Critics′Circle Award，and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama．It was
the first play to win all three of these major awards．
Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury，Connecticut，on the evening of February 10，2005，
the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway．

he in
﹣﹣
computers，she in special education．"Teaching means everything to us，"Tim would say．In April1998，
he learned he would need a heart operation．It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking
about life's purpose．
Not long after the surgery，Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library，a program started by
Dolly Parton's foundation （基金会） that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in
the singer's home town of Sevier，Tennessee．"I thought，maybe Linda and I could do something like this
when we retire，"Tim recalls．He placed the brochure on his desk，"as a reminder．"
Five years later，now retired and with that brochure still on the desk，Tim clicked on imagination library．
com．The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage
discounts．
The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters．Rather than sign up online，they went to
Dollywood for a look
see
﹣
．"We didn't want to give the children rubbish，"says Linda．The books﹣
reviewed each year by teachers，literacy specialists and Dollywood board members
included classics
﹣
such as Ezra Jack Keats's The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney's Llama Llama series．
Satisfied，the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work．Since 2004，they have
shipped more than 12，200books to preschoolers in their in their area．Megan Williams，a mother of
four，is more than appreciative："This program introduces us to books I've never heard of．"

66．（10 分）C
Diana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21
year
old twin sons
﹣
﹣
：
a combination of savings，income，scholarships，and a modest amount of borrowing．Then her husband
lost his job，and the plan fell apart．
"I have two kids in college，and I want to say'come home，'but at the same time I want to provide them
with a good education，"says Jacobs．
The Jacobs family did work out a solution：They asked and received more aid from the schools，and
each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan （贷款） program．
They will each graduate with $20，000 of debt，but at least they will be able to finish school．
With unemployment rising，financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs．
More students are applying for aid ，and more families expect to need student loans ．College
administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around．
At the same time，tuition （学费） continues to rise．A report from the National Center for Public
Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007，while
average family income rose just 147%．Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade．
"If we go on this way for another 25years ，we won't have an affordable system of higher
education，"says Patrick M．Callan，president of the center．"The middle class families have been
financing it through debt．They will send kids to college whatever it takes，even if that means a huge
amount of debt．"
Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student
loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them．The good news，however，is that
federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing ，and the government says that
第4页（共17页）
money will flow uninterrupted．
66．According to Paragraph 1，why did the plan of Jacobs family fail？
A．The twins wasted too much money
B．The father was out of work
C．Their saving ran out
D．The family fell apart
67．How did the Jacobs manage to solve their problem？
A．They asked their kids to come home．
B．They borrowed 20，000 from the school．
C．They encouraged their twin sons to do part
time jobs
﹣
．
D．They got help from the school and the federal government．
68．Financial aid administrators believe that ．
A．more families will face the same problem as the Jacobses
B．the government will receive more letters of complaint
C．college tuition fees will double soon D．America's unemployment will fall
69．What can we learn about the middle class families from the text？
A．They blamed the government for the tuition increase．
B．Their income remained steady in the last decade．
C．They will try their best to send kids to college．
D．Their debts will be paid off within 25years．
70．According to the last paragraph，the government will ．
A．provide most students will scholarships B．dismiss some financial aid administrators
C．stop the companies from making student loans D ．go on providing financial support for college
students．
71．D
Since the 1970s，scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers ．Brain﹣
computer interface （BCI） technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines．
Recently ，two researchers ，Jose Milan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic school in
Lausanne ，Switzerland ，demonstrated （展示）a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person's
thoughts．
In the laboratory，Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right band．
He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts．
"Our brain has billions of nerve ceils．These send signals through the spinal cord （脊髓）to the muscles
to give us the ability to move ．But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak
electrical signals from reaching the muscles ，"Tavella says ．"Our system allows disabled people to
communicate with external world and also to control devices．"
The researchers designed a special cap for the user．This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp
（头皮） and sends them to a computer．The computer interprets the signals and commands the
motorized wheelchair．The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path．They help
the computer react to commands from the brain．
Prof．Milan，the team leader，says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain
signals and turns them into simple commands．"The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to
disabled people can be grouped in two categories ：communication，and controlling devices ．One
example is this wheelchair．"
He says his team has set two goals ．One is testing with real patients ，so as to prove that this is a
technology they can benefit from．And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over
long periods of time．
71．BCI is a technology that can ．
A．help to update computer systems B．link the human brain with computers
C．help the disabled to recover D．control a person's thoughts
72．How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory？
A．By controlling his muscles．B．By talking to the machine．C．By moving his hand．D．By using his mind．
73．Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5？
A．scalp→computer→cap→wheelchair B．computer→cap→scalp→wheelchair
C．scalp→cap→computer→wheelchair D．cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair
74．The team will test with real patients to ．
第5页（共17页）
A．make profits from them B．prove the technology useful to them
C．make them live longer D．learn about their physical condition
75．Which of the following would be the best title for the text？
A．Switzerland，the BCI Research Center
B．New Findings About How the Human Brain Works
C．BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the Disable
D．Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries．

messages，which takes precedence （优先）over everything else，and bad moods，low spirits and a lack
of self
confidence if messages fail to come in

Arthur Miller （1915
2005
﹣
）is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th
century．Miller's father had moved to the USA from Austria Hungary，drawn like so many others by
the"Great American Dream" ．However ，he experienced severe financial hardship when his family
business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early l930s．
Miller's most famous play，Death of a Salesman，is a powerful attack on the American system，with its
aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth．In
Willy Loman，the hero of the play，we see a man who has got into trouble with his worth．Willy is"burnt
out"and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment：if he can't do the work，then he is
no good to his employer，the Wagner Company，and he must go．Willy is painfully aware of this，and at
loss as to what to do with his lack of success ．He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills
himself in the end．
When it was first staged in 1949，the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews，and it won the Tony
Award for Best Play，the New York Drama Critics′Circle Award，and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama．It was
the first play to win all three of these major awards．

Diana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21
year
old twin sons
﹣
﹣
：
a combination of savings，income，scholarships，and a modest amount of borrowing．Then her husband
lost his job，and the plan fell apart．
"I have two kids in college，and I want to say'come home，'but at the same time I want to provide them
with a good education，"says Jacobs．
The Jacobs family did work out a solution：They asked and received more aid from the schools，and
each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan （贷款） program．
They will each graduate with $20，000 of debt，but at least they will be able to finish school．
With unemployment rising，financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs．
More students are applying for aid ，and more families expect to need student loans ．College
administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around．
At the same time，tuition （学费） continues to rise．A report from the National Center for Public
Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007，while
average family income rose just 147%．Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade．
"If we go on this way for another 25years ，we won't have an affordable system of higher
education，"says Patrick M．Callan，president of the center．"The middle class families have been
第13页（共17页）
financing it through debt．They will send kids to college whatever it takes，even if that means a huge
amount of debt．"
Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student
loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them ．The good news，however，is that
federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing ，and the government says that
money will flow uninterrupted．
66．According to Paragraph 1，why did the plan of Jacobs family fail？
A．The twins wasted too much money
B．The father was out of work
C．Their saving ran out
D．The family fell apart
67．How did the Jacobs manage to solve their problem？
A．They asked their kids to come home．
B．They borrowed 20，000 from the school．
C．They encouraged their twin sons to do part
time jobs
﹣
．
D．They got help from the school and the federal government．
68．Financial aid administrators believe that
A
．
A．more families will face the same problem as the Jacobses
B．the government will receive more letters of complaint
C．college tuition fees will double soon D．America's unemployment will fall
69．What can we learn about the middle class families from the text？
A．They blamed the government for the tuition increase．
B．Their income remained steady in the last decade．
C．They will try their best to send kids to college．
D．Their debts will be paid off within 25years．
70．According to the last paragraph，the government will
D
．
A．provide most students will scholarships B．dismiss some financial aid administrators
C．stop the companies from making student loans D ．go on providing financial support for college
students．
【分析】本文主要描述Jacobs 家一对双胞胎儿子在上大学时遇到的经济困难．以此告诉人们，在失业
率上升的同时，上大学的费用越来越高，贷款的学生也越来越多，以致许多公司不得不停止对学生
放贷，但是承担大部分学生贷款的政府贷款资助不会中断．
【解答】66．答案：B．细节理解题．根据第一段最后一句话"Then her husband lost his job，and the plan
fell apart．"可知，可以支付两个双胞胎儿子的大学费用的计划由于丈夫的失业瓦解了．故选 B．
67．答案：D．细节理解题．根据第三段第一句话中"They asked and received more aid from the
schools ，and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan
program"可知，他们向学校索求更多的援助，每个儿子增加贷款到最大额度．故选 D．
68．答案：A．细节理解题．根据第四段前两句话中"…financial aid administrators expect to hear from
more families like the Jacobses． More students are applying for aid，and more families expect to need
student loans．"可知，财政援助的管理员们预期会看到更多像Jacobs 一家的情况，更多的学生申请

71．（2011•山东）D
Since the 1970s，scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers ．Brain﹣
computer interface （BCI） technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines．
Recently ，two researchers ，Jose Milan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic school in
Lausanne ，Switzerland ，demonstrated （展示）a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person's
thoughts．
In the laboratory，Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right band．
He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts．

"Our brain has billions of nerve ceils．These send signals through the spinal cord （脊髓）to the muscles
to give us the ability to move ．But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak
electrical signals from reaching the muscles ，"Tavella says ．"Our system allows disabled people to
communicate with external world and also to control devices．"
The researchers designed a special cap for the user．This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp
（头皮） and sends them to a computer．The computer interprets the signals and commands the
motorized wheelchair．The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path．They help
the computer react to commands from the brain．
Prof．Milan，the team leader，says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain
signals and turns them into simple commands．"The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to
disabled people can be grouped in two categories ：communication，and controlling devices ．One
example is this wheelchair．"
He says his team has set two goals ．One is testing with real patients，so as to prove that this is a
technology they can benefit from．And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over
long periods of time．
