2、hot water that had been warming his thermos. With a nostalgic（怀旧的） look on his face, he softly said: “Anytime I fill my thermos I think of your mom.” The tone in his voice was so tender as he spoke of my mother, who is sadly no longer with us. “Oh honey, I know shes watching and listening right now

3、with a big smile on her face, ”I responded, tears in my eyes. One morning years ago when we were leaving, mother watched as Jerry was to fill his thermos. Mom then casually said, Jerry, if you filled your thermos with hot water and let it sit a while, your coffee would stay hot for longer then.” Wit

4、h her simple suggestion, his face showed that he was shocked by his own lack of common sense, well, of course it would! He poured out the small amount of coffee already in the thermos and refilled it with boiling hot water. Then he poured the water and refilled it with hot coffee. Mom smiled as Jerr

5、y did so. Words of wisdom from a loving mother-in-law made an impact that will never be forgotten.

Memories are often made du

11、Prof.Gershuny said，“The man in the kitchen is part of a much wider social trend.There has been 40 years of sexual equality，but there is another 40 years probably to come.”Women，who a generation ago spent nearly two hours a day cooking，now spend just one hour and seven minutesa great fall，but they st

12、ill spend far more time in the kitchen than men.Some experts have named these men in aprons（围裙） as “Gastrosexuals (men using cooking skills to impress friends)”，who have been inspired to pick up a kitchen knife by the success of Ramsay，Oliver as well as other male celebrity chefs such as Hugh Fearnl

18、 heavy luggage may soon become a thing of the past. Designed by Israeli company NUA Robotics, this “smart” suitcase can follow you everywhere you go. The carry-on suitcase, currently a prototype(雏形) , connects to a smartphone app via bluetooth. It has a built-in camera sensor that can “see” you and

19、follow you around on flat surfaces like airport floors. It comes with an anti-theft alarm to prevent someone carrying it away when youre not looking, and it has a backup battery that you can use to charge all your devices.“It can follow and carry things for people around while communicating with the

20、ir smartphone, and avoiding obstacles, ”explained Alex Libman, founder of NUA Robotics. “Were combining sensor network, computer vision, and roboticsSo if you download our app, press the follow me button, the luggage recognizes its user and knows to follow and communicate.”NUA is still testing the d

21、evice and trying improve features like speed and customization, but they hope to make the suitcase available to customers in a years time. If it proves successful, they want to use the Bluetooth pairing technology to automate lots of other devices，like shopping carts at the supermarket. These device

22、s are especially meant to be useful to the physically disabled and elderly. “Any object can be smart and robotic,” Libman told Mashable. “We want to bring robots into everyday life.”The Israeli tech company made it clear that the finished product will look just like a regular suitcase. Theyre planni

23、ng to partner with a carry-on luggage maker, since the device that makes it “smart” weighs just 2.5 pounds and can be fixed on old-fashion luggage.With NUAS smart suitcase, carrying around heavy luggage isnt a burden.

26、mers in a month31. Where is the article probably from?A. A textbook B. A poster C. A biography D. A website DWith autumn on the horizon, the seasons first Oscar competitors are here. Already,the Hollywood Reporter has predicted that the often-snubbed(冷落的) Leonardo DiCaprio could win. Although before

27、 we get swept up in predictions, its nice to remember that little gold men are not the reason we love the movies. They shouldnt be the primary reason for acting in them either.Bill Murray knows this first hand. Murray was positioned to win his first-ever Oscar Academy Award for 2004s “Lost in Transl

28、ation”, but he lost it to Sean Penn. Years later, Murrayexplained how he took the defeat in stride(从容应对), and his words should act as a blueprint for anyone who has failed:“I went through it once before and its nice to get nominated and win some prizes. You get to go to dinners and tell little stori

29、es and so forth. Then you get to get dressed up. And then you get to be on TV, which is sweet. And you can either win or lose. Well youre not supposed to say lose when you talk about the Oscar. You are supposed to say not chosen. But I later realized that I had gotten a little caught up in the possi

30、bility of winning. So, shame on myself for getting caught in it. But I won a lot of the prizes for Lost in Translation. So I thought it didnt seem unnatural to expect that I would be rewarded just one more time. So when it didnt happen, I thought, Well, thats kind of funny. But to get prizes is not

31、why you work.” Murray isnt alone in those feelings. No mention of actors without Oscars would be complete without recognition of Leonardo DiCaprio, who said, “I dont think I ever expected anything like an Oscar ever, to tell you the truth. That is not my motivation when I do these roles. I really am

32、 motivated by being able to work with great people and create a body of work that I can look back and be proud of.”Perhaps neither Murray nor DiCaprio will ever be introduced as an Academy Award-winning actor, but winning an Oscar for acting shouldnt be the point. Here are some other amazing actors

33、who never won an Oscar, even if you think they did: Julianne Moore, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, Will Smith. And they have proved that countless times before.32. We can learn about Bill Murray from the passage that_.A. he felt ashamed that he didnt win the Oscar.B. he never exp

34、ected himself to win the Oscar.C. he had already won many other awards before he failed in Oscar.D. he is the first actor who had been predicted to win the Oscar but failed.33. Leonard DiCaprio is motivated to act different roles because _A. he wants to win the Oscar. B. he can cooperate with great

35、people. B. he wants others to take pride in him.D. he is not the only actor who hasnt won the Oscar.34. The underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refers to “_”.A. Neither Murray nor DiCaprio will won an Oscar.B. Winning an Oscar for acting shouldnt be the point.C. Some amazing actors have nev

36、er won an Oscar.D. You think that some actors should have won an Oscar.35. What is the writers attitude to Leonardos idea on winning an Oscar?A. Approving. B. CriticalC. opposing. D. Neutral. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。 People have been making and flying kites fo
