Friends play a very important part in everyone’s life. Friendship usually develops during childhood. New friends are made when you progress through school.

Robert Frost was one of America’s best known and most honored s erious writers. But his fame came late in his life.

He was born in San Francisco, California in 1874. He lived in California during his early childhood. He was named after the chief Southern general in America’s Civil War. The general’s name was Robert Edward Lee. The poet was named Robert Lee Frost, because his father wanted to honor the general.

Someone once asked another American writer, Ernest Hemingway, how to become a writer. The best thing, he said, was to have an unhappy childhood. If this is true, Robert Frost’s childhood was unhappy enough to make him a very good writer. Robert Frost’s father was a reporter who wanted to be a politician. He often drank too much wine and became angry. Robert was the victim (受害者) of his anger.

Robert Frost finished high school in 1891. After high school, Robert’s grandfather offered to pay his costs at Dartmouth College. But Robert left the school after a few months. He did not like it. He spent the next few years working at different jobs. At one time, he worked in a factory. Later, he repaired shoes. He was a teacher. He was a reporter. Always, he wrote poetry.

Robert Frost attended Harvard University for two years. After that, he returned to the many jobs he held before. For a while, Frost tried to take care of a farm in the state of New Hampshire. He was not a successful farmer. And he continued to write poetry. He said that until 1930, he earned only about ten dollars a year from writing.

In 1912, he decided to try to make a new start. He took his family to Britain. The cost of living was low. In Britain, Frost found a publisher for his first book of poems. The book was called A Boy’s Will. When it appeared in 1913，Frost received high praise from British readers. Praise was something he had not received in his own country.

Ezra Pound, another American poet living in Britain, read the poems and liked them very much. He wrote a magazine article about Frost. He al so helped get Frost’s second book of poems published in America. That book was called North of Boston.

64.The followings are writers EXCEPT ________.

A. Robert Lee Frost

B. Robert Edward Lee

65.The passage wrote about Hemingway in order to show that.

A. Frost’ s poetry style was the same as Hemingway’s

B. he had great influence on Frost’s poetry and life

C. Frost was unhappy because he was the victim of his father

D. Frost spent his childhood unhappily

66.What can we learn from the passage?

A. After leaving Harvard University, he began to learn to write poetry.

B. Once Frost’s first book was published he gained great praise in his country.

C. Frost was found to have a gift in poetry while he studied in high school.

D. Robert Frost’s father was angry and drank a lot because he didn’t realize his dream.

67.What’s the passage mainly about?

A. Robert Frost’s first and second book.

B. Robert Frost’s unhappy childhood.

C. Robert Frost’s family and jobs.

D. Robert Frost’s life and poetry.

The iPhone, the iPad, the iPod: each of Apple’s products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i”——and many other brands are following suit. The BBC’s iPlayer——which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet——used the title in 2008. A lovely bear——popular in the US and UK——that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version of London’s Independent newspaper was launched last week under the nam e “i”.

In general, single-letter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1900s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use.

Most “i” products are aimed at young people and considering the major readers of Independent’s “i”, it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionabl e name.

But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King’s College, London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition,” he says.

“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now associat ed with portability(轻便),” adds Thorne.

individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.

Along with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade.

But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the trend inevitably disappeared.

68. We can infer that the Independent’s “i” is aimed at _______.

A. old readers

B. young readers

C. fashionable women

D. engineers

69. The underlined word “ambiguous” means “_______”.

A. uncertain

B. popular

C. exact

D. native

70. Nowadays, the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are _______.

A. environmentally friendly

B. portable

C. advanced

D. recyclable

71. The writer suggests that _______.

A. the popularity of “i” products may not last long

B. “i” products are often of high quality

C. the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the products

D. iTeddy is a lively bear

Dear Mr. Wang, ks5u

I’m glad to te ll you that I have made great progress in my English study since I became a senior high school student.

When I started senior English in the beginning, I found it much more difficult than what we learned in junior school and I almost lost heart. Later, I realized the importance of English, so I got up early every morning, recited English words, listened to English tapes and did a lot of exercises. I also asked my teachers and classmates for better ways of learning English. ks5u

Now, I’m improving my English greatly. And I’m getting more and more interested in learning it. Thank you so much for your great help in your class.

Wish you all the best. ks5u

Yours
