It was ridiculously beautiful in Majorca, Spain. The way the sun danced across the water and how the blue horizon was dotted with storybook sailboats(帆船) were such beautiful scenes. I almost couldnt believe my eyes.My husband and I always dreamed about taking our kids on a trip around the world. It was something we always wanted to do“one day. It was one of the things we talked in detail about, when we imagined our life with the children we hoped we would have. Fourteen years later, we had three boys who were growing up faster by the day. It was time to make good on(兑现，实现) those plans.We spent dozens of hours discussing, researching and planning.We had to learn how to “road school” our kids and arrange time off from work. We renewed our passports, and then packed our bags.We showed our kids the world. It was about experiencing the dozens of flights and trains and taxis together. We showed them how wonderful, how diverse, and how fascinating the world is. We wanted them to learn all that we had learned ourselves, through our own travels as young adults.But there was something more than that: What we really wanted is to slow down time. We wanted the days to last a bit longer, and the weeks to take their time. The years with our children are going too fast. We wanted to put the brakes (刹车) on our busy lives for a year, and just be with our kids. We wanted a break from the daily morning routine of making lunches, eating breakfast and rushing out the door in time for school. We needed a family time-out (休息时间).It was a wonderful two months in Europe, full of incredible moments. And when we look back at our lives, I know well be glad we did it.

I have been so lucky that my disease has not been a serious block, indeed it has probably given me more time than most people to search for knowledge. he once said.The author of the 1988 bestseller A Brief History of Time was given only a few years to live when he was diagnosed (诊断) with MND as a 22-year-old student in 1964.MND is the collective name for a group of diseases that affect the nerves (神经) in the brain. The progressive disease kills more than half within two years and about ninety percent within five years of diagnosis. There is no cure for MND and no treatment to halt the progression of the disease at the present time. However, it is possible to live with it for many years.The disease affects the muscles that produce movements like walking and talking, and damages parts of the nervous system which leads to muscle weakness. MND most commonly happens to people in their 50s and 60s. However, it can affect people of any age, as in Prof Hawkings case.Experts believe that Hawkings rare slow-progressing form of MND and its early onset (发病) were likely to be factors in why he was able to live with the disease into his seventies. Leo McCluskey, a medical director, said his excellent care and the variation (变异)of his disease are likely to have prolonged his life. The common way people die is of breathing failure. And the other thing is swallowing muscles (吞咽肌) becoming worse. If you dont have these two things, you could probably live for a long time - even though youre getting worse. Whats happened to Hawking is just surprising. Hes certainly an outlier, he said.29. What did Hawking think of his disease? A. It was a challenge to his personal life. B. It made his research more difficult.C. It enabled him to concentrate on his research. D. It led him to do research on the universe.30. What do we know about MND? A. It can be cured in some way.B. It may kill people all of a sudden.C. It usually strikes young people. D. It has a relatively high death rate.31. What does the underlined word“halt”in paragraph 3 mean? A. Stop. B. Test. C. Monitor. D. Limit.32. According to Leo McCluskey Hawking lived with the disease for a long time because of_.A. his early onset of MND B. good nursing and the variation of his MNDC. his rare slow-progressing form of MNDD. good condition of his breathing and swallowing musclesDWhether theyre playing on our TV screens or printed in newspapers, adverts are everywhere.In fact, according to US market research company Yankelovich, the average person living in a city sees thousands of ads every single day.However, ads dont just act as a tool for getting people to buy things; they also serve as a window into cultures, societies and history.Modern adverts began to appear in the 18th and 19th centuries, since advances in printing techniques allowed more detailed images to be produced in newspapers and magazines.Looking at some of these early ads is like taking a step back in time to another world.For example, an 1881 advert for French cigarettes promised that its product would “give immediate relief” to a list of medical conditions, including breathing problems.And a US ad from a 1955 newspaper advised mothers to mix the sugary soft drink A7 Up with their babys milk.These days, of course, the harmful effects of both smoking and sugary drinks are well known.But although these adverts seem unusual to us now, perhaps future generations may consider some of todays ads to be just as bizarre.“Advertising often serves as an indicator for what society considers to be socially acceptable and desirable at the time,” US marketing expert wrote on the Ad Councils website.In spite of being designed to sell or advertise something, some ads can even become part of a societys vernacular (方言).In the UK, for example, a slogan(标语) created in 1994 to advertise paint is used in everyday conversation by many Britons.The phrase, “It does exactly what it says on the tin, is used to describe an item or product thats open, straightforward and simple.Meanwhile, also in the UK, if someone describes themselves as a “Marmite person”, this means that you may either love them or hate them, based on the British food Marmites slogan, “Love it or hate it.” So, in spite of what we may think of them, it seems that ads are a bigger part of everyday life than we think they are.Instead of finding them annoying, however, at least we can be assured that future generations will have an interesting way to see how we lived - no matter how unusual todays world may seem to them.33. What does the underlined word“bizarre” in Paragraph 9 probably mean?A. Typical. B. Creative.C. Strange. D. Misleading.34. The examples of the two British phrases are mentioned mainly to _.A. prove most ads in the past were simpleB. show ads can influence everyday languageC. explain why some ads are very popularD. show that British people love to use words from ads35. Whats the article mainly about?A. The history of modern adverts.B. The changing roles of ads.C. How ads reflect history and societies.D. Ads that have influenced our lives.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Youve probably heard the phrase“go outside and get some fresh air” before.
