By 1930 there was a staff of 700 and the company turned out 13,000 machines a year. Some went to customers in Italy, but Olivetti exported more typewriters to other countries.
Camilllo’s son, Adriano, started working for the company in 1924 and later he became the boss. He introduecd a standard speed for

system. This was the first mainframe(主机)computer designed and
brade in Italy.
After Adriano died in 1960, the company had a period of financial problems. Other companies, especially the Janpanese, made faster progress in electronic technology than the Italian company.
In 1978, Carlo de Benedetti became the new boss. Olivetti increased its marking and service networks and made agreements with other companies to design and produce more advanced office equipment. Soon it became one, of the world’s leading companies

When her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (团结). To show this, she held up
one chopstick, representing one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.
Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.
Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, "Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business."
Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans' corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they
began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success. 60. Helene tied several chopsticks together to show ______. A. the strength of family unity C. the advantage of chopsticks A. started a business in 1975

As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.
In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.
In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹).
Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location (位置)
better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive memory (交互记忆)"
According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing. 64. The passage begins with two questions to ______. A. introduce the main topic
B. show the author's altitude
C. describe how to use the Interne.
D. explain how to store information
B. Strength Comes from Peace D. Family Unity Builds Success

Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?
The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils(灾祸).
People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ reactions (反应)toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomach aches.
Red can cause a person’s blood pressure to rise and increase people’s appetites(食欲). Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. Similarly, many commercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a person’s eye.
Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.

Traveling to all corners of the world gets easier and easier. We live in a global village, but this doesn’t mean that we all behave in the same way.
How should we behave when you meet someone for the first time? An American shakes your hand firmly while looking you straight in the eye. In many part of Asia, there is no physical contact (接触)at all. In Japan, you should bow, and the more respect you want to show, the deeper you should bow. In Thailand, people greet each other by pressing both hands together at the chest. In both countries, eye contact is avoided as a sign of respect.
Many countries have rules about what you should and shouldn’t wear. In Muslim countries, you shouldn’t reveal (显露)the body, especially women, who Should wear long blouses and skirts .In Korea, you should take off your shoes when entering a house. Remember to place then neatly together where you came in.
In Spain, lunch is often the biggest meal of
11
the day, and can last two or three hours. For this reason many people eat a light breakfast and a late dinner. In Mexico, lunch is the time to relax, and many people prefer not to discuss business as they eat .In Britain, it’s not unusual to have a business meeting over breakfast. In most countries, an exchange of business cards is necessary for all introductions. You should include your company name and your position.

“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor’ than ever before,” says Patsy wonder more people don’t wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with a complaint（抱怨）about the noise. Here are some examples of rudeness.
Some people prefer to do almost everything over the internet. To them, dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. It feels very slow because humans don,t work at 4G speeds. When you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone. We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life-changing news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with. What is worse, some people even tend to send anonymous（匿名的） rude messages by email.
However, rudeness is never acceptable, Don,t assume it is OK to be rude if the person you,re in touch with won,t recognize you. If you have something awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, write a letter or email and sign it, or forget it. Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.
′We shouldnt blame technology for our shortcomings.Technology is here to help us,but we should not allow it to take over our lives. An important step ia acknowledging our shortcomings.People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more help if we′d publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.

范文四：2014年安徽英语高考试卷分析
2014年安徽英语高考试卷分析
滁州中学 外语组 王艳
今年高考英语试题将考查考生的基础知识和能力融为一体, 全面检测考生学 科素养,试题结构由易到难,梯度把握较好。试题紧扣教材和《考试说明》 ,难 度和大方向与往年趋同, 没有偏题和怪题, 注重对学生语言素养的考查, 在注重 英语基础知识的前提下, 仍然侧重对学生语言运用及交际能力的考查, 体现人文 关怀。试卷与往年相比更是营造了积极乐观的语言环境。
一、难度适中,试题结构由难到易,有较好的区分度和效度。
考生总体反映试卷难度适中, 稍偏易, 容易主要体现在完形填空和阅读理解 上。完形填空是一项集语法、词汇和语篇理解于一体的一种英语试题考查形式, 通常其难度较大, 也是学生容易失分的题型。 但今年的完形填空从文体上看, 是 一篇考生容易把握的记叙文, 与去年的议论文相比, 明显降低了难度。 内容也是 学生们熟悉的一个体现社会真善美的温情小故事。 情节故事有似曾相识之感。 从 每小题的设置看,也是以考查实词为主,学生很好驾驭。同时,为后面几篇阅读 创设了轻松之感。 阅读理解分值最高, 是一份试卷的重头戏。 本份试卷 5篇阅读 材料的词汇主要是必修课本范围内的, 一些超纲词汇采用了汉语注释, 考生理解 起来不会有吃力感。继续惯常的以细节理解题这样的基础题为主,以主旨大意, 作者态度、意图题为辅的题型设置模式,既能面向大部分考生,不会过多失分; 又能选拔出语篇理解能力突出的考生, 有一定的区分度。 听力和任务型读写难度 稍大。 本校的考生普遍反映听力失分最多, 除了考场听力设备效果不佳的原因之 外, 学生对所听内容作出推断的能力不够, 在不同语音环境下对录音材料关键信 息捕捉能力不够才是主要原因。 听力难度的加大也体现了突出英语的实际应用功 能 ---听说的交际功能。
二、出基础词汇与重点词组的考查,在真实语境中的自然运用,而非僵硬地考 查语法。
今年高考英语单项填空的设置偏向于对必修部分和基础知识的考查与检测。 单项填空主要涉及语法、 词汇、 短语和情景交际四个方面。 试题避免了机械地考 查语法知识, 而是将语法知识融入到完整自然的语境中进行考查。 考生在答题时 不会有陌生感, 容易理解和入手。 其中, 对词汇部分的考查不仅需要考生掌握基
本的词义, 更要了解重要且常见的衍生义和词语搭配。 单词辨析题是今年单选题 所有考点中出现频率最高的题目,从第 26题到第 29题,分别考查了介词辨析、 形容词辨析、动词短语辨析和名词辨析以及 33题的副词辨析。考生若平时掌握 了其基本用法和含义, 应付这类题目就是如鱼得水。 出现的词汇和短语没有生僻 难懂的现象, 符合高考大纲要求掌握的重点。 由此看出, 高考并不是考查考生词 汇量有多么庞大,而是考查大家能否将常见的重点短语和词汇运用到语言环境 中。
三、重学生语言实际运用能力和交际能力的考查。
听力题是考查学生语言交际和实际应用能力的主要阵地。 本次听力对于交际 话题的考查较广,涉及到问路,就餐,约会,谈论天气等。单选题 21题和 35题均为日常生活英语, 考察学生脚踏实地使用英语进行交流的能力。 选择题的第 一道和最后一道都是情景交际题, 可以看出命题者越来越注重学生实际使用英语 的能力。 今年书面表达考察的仍旧是应用文, 而且是近年来全国各地高考中最受 欢迎的题型——书信。 书信一直是高考英语的宠儿, 一方面, 它具备提纲作文的 内核,同时它又具备实际的交际功能,符合高考英语强调应用能力的基本精神。 书信这一考查形式是在给出学生写作框架,考察学生的基本写作能力的基础上, 还需要考生掌握一定的交际技巧。 而且, 针对不同类型的书信, 还要求学生灵活 的掌握各类情况下的交际语言,把握语言的准确性。
四、语境、语篇的设置贴近生活,时代感强,尤为感受强烈的是大部分材料能 够让考生感悟到积极向上的人生态度,具有正能量。
今年的英语试题选材体现了时代性, 又关注考生的生活实际与情感体验。 考 生在答题的同时可以感悟到积极乐观的人生态度,如单项填空第 21、 23、 24、 26、 27、 30 、 31、 32 和 35 题,涉及主题有倡导读书,尊重老人,环境保护等; 完形填空语篇选材为一篇有关 “善的力量” 的记叙文, 作者在文中叙述了自己在 Florida 度假时受到一位陌生人的热心帮助的美好经历, 贴近生活, 弘扬正能量; 阅读理解 E 篇介绍了一个名为 Ashoka 的机构, 该机构在过去的 27年中与贫困和 疾病斗争、 改善教育、 鼓励年轻人致力于解决社会问题, 他们的理念是人人都能 成为一个“改变者” ,并为有志于改善社会环境的青年提供资金和帮助。又如书 面表达题要求考生给一位近来容易发脾气、 正常的学习和生活受到影响的同学写 一封回信, 主要是针对目前普遍存在的高中学生心理健康问题, 引导考生学会理 解,学会控制自己情绪。考生在答题的同时,也受到了试题正面的影响。
总之, 我省今年的英语高考试题充分体现了新课程的理念, 对高中英语教学 具有良好的导向作用。 作为教师, 我们在今后的教学中应注重培养学生对语言的 实际应用能力,教授交际技巧,提高交际能力,利用课堂和教材,帮助学生树立 积极乐观的人生态度。 这绝不是空洞的口号和花架子, 在新一轮课程改革下它将 是趋势, 也是针对高考的最佳教学模式, 同时, 学生将会在这种英语语言学习中 得到更多快乐和收获。

Passage 1
The Information Highway is the road that links computer users to a large number of on-line services： the Web，e-mail，and software，to mention just a few. Not long ago，the Information Highway was a new road with not many users. Now，everyone seems to want to take a drive, with over 30 million families connected worldwide. Not surprisingly, this
well-traveled highway is starting to look like a well-traveled highway. Traffic jams can cause many serious problems，forcing the system to close down for repair. Naturally，accidents will happen on such a crowded road，and usually victims are some files，gone forever. Then，of course，there’s Mr. Cool，with this new broad-band connection，who speeds down the highway faster than most of us can go. But don’t trick yourself；he pays for that speeding.
Passage 2
Want to know more about global warming and how you can help prevent it？Doctor Herman Friedman，who is considered a leading expert on the subject，will speak at Grayson Hall next Friday. Friedman studied environmental science at three well-known universities around the world before becoming a professor in the subject. He has also traveled around the world observing environmental concerns. The gradual bleaching （变白）of the Great Barrier Reef，which came into the public eye in 2002，is his latest interest. Signed copies of his colorful book，which was published just last month，will be on sale after his talk.
56.The information highway ___________.
A. is free from traffic jams
B. is crowded with car drivers D. appeals to a large number of users B. By repairing the system. D. By using a broad-band connection.
B. Friedman is now studying the Great Barrier Reef. C. offers just a few online services A. By storing fewer files. 57. How does Mr. Cool manage to travel the Information Highway so fast？ C. By buying a better computer. 58. What can be learned from Passage 2？ A. There will be a book show at Grayson Hall.

Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources(来源).as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills(风车)began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.
For many centuries, people used windmills to grind(磨碎)wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.
During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity .People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.

They are the sort of friends who are so close they trust each other with their lives .If one falls, the other is there to catch him.
They are Wellman. Whose legs were permanently injured nine years ago in a rock-climbing accident and Corbett, an experienced rock climber. Together, they climbed up Half Dome, the famous 2,000-foot rock in the Yosemite National park, through one of the most difficult routes(路线).
During the climb, Corbett took the lead, hit in the metal spikes (尖状物)that guided the ropes and climbed up. Then, after Wellman pulled himself up the rope, Corbett went down to remove the spikes and climbed up again. This process was repeated time and again, inch by inch, for 13 days
Wellman’s job was not easy either, He got himself up the rope through upper body strength alone. In all, Wellman figured that he had done 5.000 pull-ups up the rope on the climb.
However, when the two men first met, they never talked about climbing “He knew that was how I got injured.”Wellman said. Until one day Wellman decided that he wanted to climb again and they started training
Their climb of Half Dome was not all smooth. At one point, pieces of rock gave way, and Corbett dropped down quickly. Wellman locked their rope in place, stopping the fall at 20 feet. His quick action probably saved his friend’s life.
“Your partner can save your life—you can sane your partner’s life” Wellman said as the pair received congratulations from friends “there are real close tic. ”

Ireland has had a very difficult history. The problems started in the 16th century when English ruler tried to conquer (征服) Ireland. For hundreds of years, the Irish people fought against the English. Finally, in 1921, the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland .The result is that today there are two “Irelands”. Northern Ireland, in the north, is part of the United Kingdom. The Republic of Ireland, in the south in an independent country.
In the 1840s the main crop, potatoes, was affected by disease and about 750,000 people died of hunger. This, and a shortage (短缺) of work , forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA ,the UK, Australia and Canada, As a result of these problems, the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.
For many years, the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers. Today, many people will work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices. Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside, where things move at a quieter and slower pace.

George Prochnik would like the world to put a sock in it. He makes his case in a new book. Listening for Meaning in a World of Noise. Here he explains himself (using his voice);
“We’ve become so accustomed to noise, there’s almost a deep prejudice against the idea that silence might be beneficial, if you tell someone to be quiet ,you sound like an old man. But it’s never been important to find continuing quiet, Silence focuses us, improves our health, and is a key to lasting peace and satisfaction.”
“We need to excite people about the sounds you start to hear, if you merely quiet things down a little, During a Japanese tea ceremony, the smallest sounds become a kind of art the spoons making a light ringing sound on a bowl, the edges of a kimono（和服）brushing against the floor.
“Deaf people are very attentive（专注的） in almost every aspect of life. If two deaf people are walking together, using sign language, they constantly watch out for each other and protect each other by paying steady attention to the other. They are connected yet also fully aware of their surroundings, Even deaf teenagers! We in the hearing world can learn from them. If we remove the powerful blasts（一阵阵）of noise .we become aware of an extraordinarily rich world around us---of little soft sounds and the sound of footsteps, of bind songs and ice cracking（开裂声），it’s astonishing how beautiful things sound when you can really listen..”

If we agree that the function of education is to prepare us for life, then there is very little time to waste. So, while we can, we ought to concentrate on teaching children something really useful. Here is what our schools should teach.
Politeness is a mark of civilization. The sooner children learn this, the better . In any case, a lot can be accomplished by a smile and good manners.
Like it or not, our adult lives will be consumed by the struggle for money, but we don't make an effort to teach children how to manage it. So our schools have a duty to teach them this ability from the beginning.
We're likely to accept something we are told, but that's not what educated people do. Educated people are reasonable and they look at facts. If our schools teach nothing else, they should at least teach critical（批判性的）thinking.
Children should learn to take care of their health. They should know that if they eat junk food（垃圾食品）,they will become fat and unhealthy. They should be very clear about what happens to their bodies when they drink or smoke.
All of us are part of society. We have rights and responsibilities. We ought to understand what they are. We have to know a little bit of our history and geography, because we need to have an environment in which to relate to the people around us.
How will we test students on these? We can't. But that's not a reason to avoid teaching what is important. Our
schools should spend every moment they have telling this to our children:

My Approach to Difficulties in Learning
As high school students, we run into one difficulty after another in the process of learning. Everyone has their own way to deal with them. Here I would like to share mine.
When I am faced with a difficulty, I usually choose to refer to relevant learning materials or Web pages. In this way, I can not only work it out but also improve my ability to overcome problem all by myself.
However, when it is something beyond my competence, I turn to my classmates or teachers for help. Sometimes I also ask my parents for advice. As a result, I have made steady progress in my studies. 77.preparation 78.school(s) 79.Content(s)/ content(s)/Subjects/subjects/Topics/topics 80.politely/ properly/well 81.managing 82.think 83.healthy/fit
