　　I grew up one of ten children on a farm in Wyoming. After my dad’s service in World War II, he was

　　36

　　again to fight during the Korean War, and when he returned home, he couldn’t drink

　　37

　　to numb (麻痹) his terrible memories. He struggled to

　　38

　　for his growing family.

　　On our occasional trips to town, I

　　39

　　out boxfuls of books from the library. When I opened a book, I could

　　40

　　myself in unknown places — where children weren’t hungry and were in

　　41

　　of little.

　　When I wasn’t daydreaming, my

　　42

　　was the life I shared with my brothers and sisters. At night I hid under the covers

　　43

　　to silence the sounds of life in an alcoholic home. Classmates asked

　　44

　　we didn’t have electricity or a telephone. I suppose my explanations were

　　45

　　more than lies, but the stories I told improved

　　46

　　every book I read.

　　Starting at a very young age, my siblings (兄弟姐妹) and I sometimes got jobs to earn money — to put more food on the family table. We

　　47

　　newspapers, babysat, and cleaned other people’s houses.

　　Mom grew vegetables, raised chickens, and baked bread, so we seldom went hungry, even when supper was only a pot of beans.

　　48

　　my real hunger wasn’t for food — it was a hunger for a better life. It was a hunger for knowledge about the world

　　49

　　our simple existence. It was a hunger to prove Dad

　　50

　　when he told us we would never amount to anything.

　　Hunger motivated my brothers and sisters to achieve much

　　51

　　than our parents expected

　　52

　　us. We devoured (如饥似渴地吸取) the offerings of the public schools because we realized that

　　53

　　would be our steppingstone into a brighter future.

　　Now I’m

　　54

　　of the accomplishments of my siblings: an art professor; a well-known doctor; plus business owners. And me, I’m the keeper of the family stores. I’ll never know if we would have so many accumulated successes if we had not known

　　55

　　as children. But this I do know: I believe it can be a good thing.

　　The White House dropped a report putting together some federal data. None of the information is exactly new, but a number of graphs in the report offer a clear and convincing illustration (阐述) of the status of women today. For instance, more young women are going to college than young men for the first time in US history. But, women are much more likely to go into lower-paying fields than men when they graduate, therefore lasting the long-standing wage gap. And women, especially minority women, are still more likely to live in poverty than men. Check out three of the graphs from the report below.

　　Senior Obama White House adviser Valerie Jarrett said on a conference call with reporters that the president will use the data as a “tool” to inform policy plans, though she would not name any specific new moves the administration is considering.

　　“You really have to look at the whole story of a woman’s life,” Jarrett said. “This report gives us a framework to do that.”

　　24. The reason why American women delay having their first child, as is shown in Graph I,

　　may be that ________.

　　A. they get married at a later age

　　B. they don’t want to have children

　　C. more of them are going to college

　　D. more of them are working outside

　　25. From Graph II, we can know that in the USA ________.

　　A. women can receive the same education as men

　　B. in the 1970s, only 10% of women got a bachelor’s degree or higher

　　C. men are paying more attention to university education than women

　　D. more women have finished university education than men since the late 1990s

　　26. Which conclusion can we draw from Graph III?

　　A. Women with the same education level as men don’t earn as much.

　　B. The more education one has received, the more pay he or she can get.

　　C. Women under 25 years old usually don’t go out to work.

　　D. The longer one has worked, the more pay he or she can get.

　　27. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the report?

　　A. The State of American Women

　　B. The Education American Women Receive

　　C. American Men and Women

　　D. Competition between Men and Women

　　Physics is a different world now. Will there ever be another Einstein?

　　Scientists say a new Einstein will appear, but it may take a long time. After all, more than 200 years separated Einstein from his nearest rival (堪与相比者), Isaac Newton.

　　Many physicists say the next Einstein hasn’t been born yet. That is because the long difficult search for a theory that would account for all the forces of nature has pushed current mathematics to its limits.

　　New math must be created before the problem can be solved.

　　But researchers say there are many other factors working against another Einstein appearing anytime soon.

　　For one thing, physics is a much different field today. In Einstein’s day, there were a few thousand physicists worldwide, and fewer theoreticians.

　　Education is different, too. One important aspect of Einstein’s training that is overlooked is the philosophy he read as a teenager. It taught him how to think abstractly about space and time.

　　And he was an accomplished musician. The interplay between music and math is well known. Einstein would crazily play his violin as a way to think through a complex physics problem.

　　Today, universities have produced millions of physicists. There aren’t many jobs in science for them, so they go to Wall Street and Silicon Valley to apply their analytical skills to more practical and rewarding efforts. Those who stay in science don’t work alone.

　　It’s very difficult to imagine an independent person like Einstein ever tolerating this.

　　28. According to the passage, the most important reason for Einstein’s success is that ________.

　　A. he was a good musician

　　B. he learnt philosophy as a teenager

　　C. he was born 200 years later than Newton

　　D. he was a great mathematician

　　29. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the reason why a new Einstein has not been born yet?

　　A. The limits of current mathematics.

　　B. The development of physics.

　　C. Different education systems.

　　D. The lack of analytical skills.

　　30. Which of the following does the author probably agree with?

　　A. Einstein rather than Newton made great contributions to the world.

　　B. Working independently is one of the contributing factors of Einstein’s success.

　　C. Physics graduates can easily get science jobs today.

　　D. Music has nothing to do with science.

　　My room faces the sun in the morning and on clear summer mornings it wakes me bright and fresh, no matter what time I stayed up till; I’ll get up and make breakfast.

　　This morning I wake up suddenly, like the alarm clock in my head has given me a little electric shock; it isn’t sunny outside. I pull back the curtains and the sky is dark grey.

　　Hearing my brother is getting up, I go downstairs to make him a cup of tea. He’s down in the kitchen about five minutes later, wearing his work clothes, eyes mostly closed against the morning.

　　“Morning.” I say.

　　“Uh huh.”

　　I leave him to work out what he is going to eat and go back to my room, and get back beneath the quilt.

　　This morning I want to think a while. Today is Dad’s birthday; Mom won’t mention it. My brother might, just to cause a row, so I’ll keep him sweet when he comes in from work. Every year on my dad’s birthday I draw a picture of him; each year he looks a bit different. I’m an artist. It’s not that I draw a straighter line or a truer circle, as they try to teach us to do at school. I just get the message across more clearly than other people. More truthfully. I know it.

　　I read a lot of books too, mainly about artists, and I try to paint like them. When my dad comes back I’ll be able to say “this is you when I was twelve and I was in love with Monet” or “this is you on your thirty-eighth birthday, when I was fourteen, and you’d been gone five years, and I wanted to paint like Dante Gabriel Rossetti.” And he’ll look at each painting and know that I love him and never forget him.

　　On Saturday mornings he’d take me to town and I’d drag him around the art shops. On my sixth birthday he bought me a box of 99 crayons. On my eighth birthday he bought me an easel (画架), a real one, not a kiddie’s. On my ninth birthday he bought me oils. Some mornings I’d wake up and there’d be a book on my pillow about Picasso, or Chagall.

　　“Draw me,” he’d say.

　　“Aw, Dad, I can’t.”

　　I know I should go to school; I’m not one of those kids who are scared to go. But, it’s my dad’s birthday and I think I must spend it with him.

　　So I spend some time thinking about his hair, which I think is probably no more grey than it was last year; I know hair doesn’t age at the same speed every year, but I make his hair longer this year. And in my mind’s eye I give him an extra few pounds too. But I keep the smile fixed in my head, like it is when he’s happy.

　　It’s head and shoulders, so I’ll put him in a T-shirt that shows his neck and throat and how strong he is and how brightly his eyes shine and how his eyebrows are dead level straight and still black.

　　I try to think of how much I want to show and how much I want to tell.

　　Then I pick up a charcoal stick and do it. I pick up a chalk to add a suggestion of colour to his eyes, then another chalk for his mouth.

　　And there he is.

　　Dad.

　　There you are.

　　31. The author wakes up suddenly this morning because ________.

　　A. it is a dark grey morning

　　B. it is time for her to make breakfast

　　Those who like to play with words are clever, or consider themselves clever. Playing with words in trademark registration, however, might bring you trouble or even a lawsuit (起诉).

　　US basketball star Michael Jordan filed a lawsuit against Chinese company Qiaodan Sports last week for unauthorized use of his name. The company denied the accusation.

　　“We just use a Chinese translation of a common foreign family name and it cannot be identified with Michael Jordan,” said Hou Lidong, the company’s public relations manager.

　　Jordan and his lawyer are waiting for the court’s reply. But experts have said Jordan’s lawsuit may be difficult to win.

　　China’s law states that a trademark “shall not conflict with any previous right acquired by another person.” The “first to use” is a globally recognized principle.

　　In this sense, Qiaodan Sports’ use of the name is legal in China because of its correspondence to China’s law and principle.

　　But the Chinese company’s actions may form an act of unfair competition, said Fu Minrong, a lawyer of Xinwenhua Law Firm in Shanghai, because company profits from making connections between its brand and Michael Jordan.

　　A marketing institute based in Shanghai surveyed 400 young people in 2009. About 90% of the respondents thought Qiaodan Sports belongs to Michael Jordan, the Beijing Daily reported.

　　Even if Jordan loses the lawsuit, Chinese brands such as Qiaodan are not winners either.

　　The case reflects a big problem for Chinese brands—copycatting (盲目模仿), commented the Beijing Business Today.

　　Critics point out that Qiaodan Sports’ reputation and sales would receive a big blow, as customers are unwilling to be referred to as common buyers of copycat goods.

　　Trademark preemptive (抢先的) registration is a global issue. In some cases, it even has become a tool of business competition.

　　Shaolin Temple, for instance, found in 2004 that more than 1,000 brands containing “Shaolin” had been registered without the approval of the temple in the US, Japan and Europe.

　　To deal with that, the temple set up the Henan Shaolin Temple Industrial Development Co, to protect the temple’s intellectual property rights, Xinhua news agency reported.

　　The company has registered about 100 Shaolin-related brands in China and has applied to register “Shaolin” brands in over 100 countries, Xinhua said.

　　Companies with a global vision are fully aware of the importance of trademarks.

　　Although Facebook is inaccessible on the Chinese mainland, it has registered two Chinese trademarks in 2011 and an English trademark in 2007.
