B A world-famous Canadian author, Margaret Atwood, has created the worlds first long-distance signing dev
28、ice(装置), the LongPen. After many tiring booking-signing tours from city to city, Atwood thought there must be a better way to do them. She hired some technical experts and started her own company in 2004. Together they designed the LongPen. Heres how it works: The author writes a personal message an
29、d signature on a computer tablet(手写板) using a special pen. On the receiving end, in another city, a robotic arm fitted with a regular pen signs the book. The author and fan can talk with each other via webcams(网络摄像机) and computer screens. Work on the LongPen began in Atwoods basement(地下室). At first,
30、 they had no idea it would be as hard as it turned out to be. The device went through several versions, including one that actually had smoke coming out of it. The investing finally completed, teat runs were made in Ottawa, and the LongPen was officially launched at the 2006 London Book Fair. From h
31、ere, Atwood conducted two transatlantic book signings of her latest book for fans in Toronto and New York City. The LongPen produces a unique signature each time because it copies the movement of the author in real time. It has several other potential applications. It could increase credit card secu
32、rity and allow people to sign contracts from another province. The video exchange between signer and receiver can be recorded on DVD for proof when legal documents are used. “Its really fun,” said the owner of a bookstore, who was present for one of the test runs. “Obviously you cant shake hands wit
33、h the author but there are chances for a connection that you dont get from a regular book signing.” The response to the invention has not been all favorable. Atwood has received criticism from authors who think she is trying to end book tours. But she said, “It will be possible to go to places that
34、you never got sent to before because the publishers couldnt afford it.” 41. Why did Atwood decide to invent the LongPen? A. To set up her own company. B. To win herself greater popularity. C. To write her books in a new way. D. To make book signings less tiring. 42. How does the LongPen work? A. It
35、copies the authors signature and prints it on a book. B. It signs a book while receiving the authors signature. C. The webcam sends the authors signature to another city. D. The fan uses it to copy the authors signature himself. 43. What do we know about the invention of the LongPen? A. It has been
36、completed but not put into use. B. The basement caught fire by accident. C. Some versions failed before its test run. D. The designers were well-prepared for the difficulty. 44. How could the LongPen be used in the future? A. To draft legal documents. B. To improve credit card security. C. To keep a

38、 its high cost. C “Dad,” I say one day, “lets take a trip. Why dont you fly and meet me?” My father had just retired after 27 years as a manager for IBM. His job filled his day, his thought, his life. While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a freezing waterfall Peru. While he tied
39、a tie and put on the same Swiss watch, I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks. My father sees me drifting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps. He wants me to settle down, but now I want him to find an adventure. He agrees to travel with me through the nat
40、ional parks. We meet four weeks later in Rapid City. “ What is our first stop?” asks my father. “What time is it?” “Still dont have a watch?” Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore. As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite(花岗岩), his mouth and eyes open slowly, like those of a littl
41、e boy. “Unbelievable,” he says. “How was this done?” A film in the information center shows sculptor Gutzon Borglum devoted 14 years to the sculpture and then left the final touches to his son. We stare up and I ask myself, Would I ever devote my life to anything? No directions, no goals. I always u
42、sed to hear those words in my fathers voice. Now I hear them in my own. The next day were at Yellowstone National Park, where we have a picnic. “Did you ever travel with your dad?” I ask. “Only once,” he says. “I never spoke much with my father. We loved each other but never said it. Whatever he cou
43、ld give me, he gave.” The last sentence its probably the same thing Id say about my father. And what Id want my child to say about me. In Glacier National Park, my father says, “Ive never seen water so blue.” I have, in several places of the world. I can keep traveling, I realize and maybe a regular
44、 job wont be as dull as I feared. Weeks after our trip, I call my father. “The photos from the trip are wonderful,” he says. “Weve got to take another trip like that sometime. ” I tell him Ive decided to settle down, and Im wearing a watch. 46.

46、ure in the future. D. He should pursue a specific aim in life. 48. From the underlined paragraph, we can see that the author_. A. wants his children to learn from their grandfather B. comes to understand what parental love means C. learns how to communicate with his father D. hopes to give whatever
47、he can to his father 49. What could be inferred about the author and his father from the end of the story? A. The call solves their disagreements. B. The Swiss watch has drawn them closer. C. They decide to learn photography together. D. They begin to change their attitudes to life. 50. What could b
48、e the best title for the passage? A. Love Nature, Love Life B. A Son Lost in Adventure C. A Journey with Dad D. The Art of Travel D People arent walking any more if they can figure out a way to avoid it. I felt superior about this matter until the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel. The
49、journey is a matter of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I wasnt in any hurry, either. I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness: motorosis. It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune(免疫的), for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs. At that time, we regarded 25 miles as good days walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as sign of strength and skill. It did not occur to u
