Secret codes (密码)keep messages private。

Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.
People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 1 Code breaking never lags(落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography.
There are three main types of cryptography. 2 For exampl e, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” Spell out the hidden message “Meet me.”
3 You might represent each letter with a number, For example, Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 20 13 5.”
A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. 4 For example, ”bridge“ might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message “bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.” 5 However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.
A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book.
B. In any language, some letters are used more than others.
C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message.
D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.
E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.
F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.
G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.
1. 解析：考察上下文的理解和判断能力。

后句Code breaking never lags(落后) far behind code making. 的内容可以判断该句应该和密码的破译有关。

而D选项As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.符合语境逻辑，可以承接上下文。

故选D
2. 解析：考察队上下文的理解和判断能力。

后面举的例子来证明人们设置密码时往往会利用一些单词的第一个字母来作为密码。

由此判断E选项的内容符合语境逻辑。

3. 考查对上下文的理解和判断能力。

根据后面的解释内容可以判断这是介绍密码设置的又
一种方法，故G选项内容
Another?way?to?hide?a?message?is?to?use?symbols?to?stand?for?specific?letters?of?the?alph abet.符合语境。

4.考查对上下文的理解和判断能力。

根据后面的举例以及前句中的?a?code?book可以判断该绍密码书的使用，故判断F选项
With?a?code?book,?you?might?write?down?words?that?would?stand?for?other?words.可以起到承上启下的作用。

5. 考查对上下文的理解和判断能力。

根据空后内容的转折可知尽管利用密码书可以破译密码，但是一本密码书也不会使用很久的时间，故判断A选项It?is?very?hard?to?break?a?code?without?the?code?book.符合语境。

Everyone knows that fish is good for health. 1 But it seems that many people don’t cook fish at home. Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn’t difficult.
2 This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way.
3 Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you’re standing at the ocean’s edge. Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn’t fresh.
4 When you have bought a fish and ar rive home, you’d better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don’t cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isn’t as tasty as the fresh one
There are many common methods used to cook fish. 5 First, clean it and season it with your choice of spices(调料). Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one pound. (A larger one will take more time.) Then, it’s ready to serve.
A. Do not buy it.
B. The easiest is to steam it.
C. This is how you can do it.
D. It just requires a little knowledge.
E. The fish will go bad within hours.
F. When buying fish, you should first smell it.
G. The fats in fish are thought to help prevent heart disease.

Muzak
The next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen. What do you hear?
1 it’s similar to the music you listen to, but it's not exactly the same. That's because this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you don't even realize the music is playing, but you react to the music anyway.
Quiet background music used to be called "elevator (电梯) music" because we often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has a new name "Muzak". About one-third of the people in America listen to "Muzak" everyday. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between. It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning, and between three and four in the afternoon, when people are more tired.
2 .
If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters don't want their songs to be used as Muzak, but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why? 3
Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that Muzak does what it is designed to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background. 4 Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries.
5 They say it's boring to hear the same songs all the time. But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places. They say it helps them relax and feel calm. One way or another, Muzak affects everyone. Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear Muzak!
A. Some people don't like Muzak.
B. The music gives them extra energy.
C. Music is playing in the background.
D. Factory workers produce 13 percent more.
E. Muzak tends to help people understand music better.
F. They get as much as $4 million a year if their songs are used.
G. Muzak is played in most of the big supermarkets in the world.
1.C?
??王道：看前后邻句。

找不到再扩大范围找。

?
??此题，前句没看头，看后句：It's?similar?to?the?music?you?listen?to…捉住主语it及它对应的music，从7个句子中选出唯一用music开头的C句。

???
2.B?
??同样用指代的原则。

前句when?people?are?more?tired.根据指代原则，确定答案在B和F 里面：B.?The?music?gives?them?extra?energy.??F.?They?get?as?much?as?$4?million?a?year?if?their ?songs?are?used.?F明显不符合文章发展，提钱，俗！选B???
3.F?
??利用因果关系?
??前句Why其他人高兴什么钱啊！从剩下的A,D,E,F里找原因，只能找出"钱"来。

??
?4.D?
??这是唯一单纯看一句话找不出答案的题，也是5题中最难的题。

?
??利用并列关系。

前一句描述tired?office?workers，后一句描述supermarket?shoppers，后句出现Supermarketshoppersbuy38percentmoregroceries.由此推断D为正确答案。

Factoryworkersproduce13percentmore.主语和百分数都是一一对应关系。

???
5.A?
??利用并列原则，后面有But?other?people?enjoy?hearing…，故选择A.?Some?people?don't?like?Muzak.这是送分题。

Public speaking and critical thinking
What is critical thinking? To a certain degree, it’s a matter of logic(逻辑)—of being able to spot weaknesses in oth er people’s argument and to avoid them in your own, it also includes related skills such as distinguishing fact from opinion and assessing the soundness of evidence.
In the broad sense, critical thinking is focused, organized thinking—the ability to see clearly their relationships among ideas. 1 The greatest thinkers, scientists and inventors have often taken their information that was readily available and put it together differently to produce new ideas that, too, is critical thinking.
2 As the class goes on, for example, you will probably spend a good deal of time organizing your speeches. While this may seem like a purely mechanical(机械的) exercise, it is closely connected with critical thinking. If the structure of your speech is loose and confused, chances are that your thinking is also disordered and confused. If, on the other hand, the structure is clear, there is a good chance your thinking is too. Organizing a speech is not a matter of arranging the ideas you already have. 3
What is true of organization is true of many aspects of public speaking. 4 As you work on expressing your ideas in clear, accurate language, you will improve your ability to think clearly and accurately. 5 As you learn to listen critically to speeches in class. You will be better able to assess the ideas of speakers in a variety of situations.
If you take full advantage of your speech class, you will be able to develop your skills as critical thinker in many circumstances. This is one reason public speaking has been regarded as a vital part of education since the days of ancient Greece.
A. Rather, it is an important part of shaping the ideas themselves.
B. This may seem like a lot of time, but the rewards are well worth it.
C. It may also help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech.
D. It has often been said that there are few new ideas in the world, only reorganized ideas.
E. If you are wondering what this has to do with your public speaking class, the answer is quite a lot.
F. The skills you learn in your speech class can help you become a more effective thinker in a number of ways.
G. As you study the role of evidence and reasoning in speechmaking ,you will see how they can be used in other forms of communication as well.
1.D由前一句...critical thinking is focused,organized thinking...以及下文The greatest thinkers...to produce new ideas.That,too,is critical thinking可知应选D。

2.E由下句As the class goes anizing your speeches.可得出。

3.A最后两句总结全段内容。

由上句...not just a matter of arranging the ideas you already have.可知。

A项中,Rather和shaping the ideas都是衔接的关键词。

4.F下句“...improve your ability to think clearly and accurately.”是对上句的解释,故选F。

5.G由上一句和下一句的结构来看,都是As开头的句型,故选G。

构成As you work...As you study...As you learn...三个句子。

Empathy
Last year, researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy, the ability to understand other people, among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years.
1 Today, people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs.
Jennifer Freed, a co-director of a teen program, has another explanation. Turn on the TV, and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting, competing, and generally treating one another with no respect. 2
There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially related by nature. 3 Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. Besides, empathy can be a cure for loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and fear.
Empathy is also an indication of a good leader. In fact, Freed says, many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers. 4 “Academics are important.But if you don’t have emotional (情感的) intelligence, you won’t be as successful in work or in your love life,” she says.
What’s the best way to up your EQ (情商）? For starters, let down your guard and really listen to others. __ 5__
To really develop empath y, you’d better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital, join a club or a team that has a diverse membership, have a “sharing circle” with your family, or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.
A.Everyone is different, and levels of empathy differ from person to person.
B.That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time, the researchers said.
C.“One doesn’t develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking,” Freed says.
D.Humans learn by example—and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic.
E.Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else—both what they think and how they feel.
F.Good social skills—including empathy—are a kind of “emotional intelligence” that will help you succeed in many areas of life.
G.Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human—and having empathy is decisive to those relationships.
1.B据下文spend more time alone and...可知,B项在此合适,由B项描述人们用看电视、上网的时间取代了会面的时间。

2.D该段描述电视上打架、竞争等不友好镜头,而D项描述人们仿效的这些根本无同情心。

3.G据上文Humans are socially related by nature人生来就处在社会关系中,而G正是说的人与人之间关系的话题。

4.F该段空格前句说同情心是一些大公司雇用经理的重要品德之一,而与F中that will help you succeed...正相符。

5.C正好回答what’s the best way to up your EQ(情商)这个问题。

Urbanization
Until relatively recently, the vast majority of human beings lived and died without ever seeing a city. The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago. 1 In fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural (乡村的) villages. It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in history—a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living.
Britain was only the beginning. 2 The?process?of?urbanization—the migration (迁移) of people from the countryside to the city— was the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live.
In 1990, fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms. 3 Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies. It took about ninety-five people on farms to feed five people in cities.
4 Until?modern?times, those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite(精英) and the servants, laborers and professionals who served them. Cities survived by taxing farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus food that the rural population produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city.
Over the past two centuries, the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country. 5 . Today, instead of needing ninety-five farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non-farmers.
A. That kept cities very small.
B. The rest live in small towns.
C. The effects of urban living on people should be considered.
D. Soon many other industrial nations become urban societies.
E. But even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities.
F. Modernization drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive.
G. Modern cities have destroyed social relations and the health of human beings.
1.E?结合上一句以及下一句的内容可知,此处是按时间顺序叙述城市化的进程的,且E项中的“only?a?few?people?could?live?in?cities.”与下一句中的“nearly?everyone?lived?on?farms”?相呼应。

?
2.D?上一段的后半部分提到英国在20世纪成为第一个城市化社会,本段第一句提到英国仅仅是开端,由此可知不久以后许多其他工业国家也成为了城市化社会。

Evaluating Sources (来源) of health Information
Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to finds relevant information, how to separate fact from opinions, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. 1 Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study. 2
Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behavior “contributes to” or is “associated with” an outcome; this does not mean th at a certain course must lead to a certain result
3 Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.
Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. 4 Evaluate “scientific” statements carefully, and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术). 5 inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.
Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about the health problems will serve you well throughout your life.
A. Make choice that are right for you.
B. The goal of an ad is to sell you something.
C. Be sure to work through the critical questions.
D. And examine the findings of the original research.
E. Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.
