It was on ce common for heart surgeons, who perform highly specialized and complex procedures, to make long incisions in a patient’s chest and then split the breastbone to reach the heart. Patients who undergo surgery are often at the risk of infection, as bacteriacan infect the cut in the skin. In addition, there is often a lengthy recovery period.A surgical technique known as “keyhole surgery” has become common in recent years. In general, the surgeon will make a couple of small incisions around the area where the operation is going to be performed. Tubes are pushed into the holes, and a tiny camera is put into the body. The camera is attached to a large monitor screen and the doctor can see it while performing the operation. In addition to the camera, doctors also push their tiny surgical instruments through the tubes. The awkward part of keyhole surgery is that it is counterintuitive; that is to say, if a surgeon wants to move the tool to the left, he or she must push it to the right.Another new machine called t he “Da Vinci Surgical System” has been tested in hospitals in the US. Unlike keyhole surgery, this robot’s moving parts are designed to copy man’s hand and wrist movement, thus providing better control and sensitivity. Sitting at a console（控制台）a few feet from the patient, the surgeon can control the instruments by moving highly sensitive pads. The area of the body is enlarged on a screen, which gives surgeons a view similar to that of a traditional surgical procedure.The Da Vinci Surgical System has been welcomed as revolutionary by many surgeons. Patients with serious illness must undergo major surgery, but the smaller incisions typically mean a shorter recovery time. On the downside, some operations have taken up to fifty minutes longer because surgeons are inexperienced at using the new technology. As surgeons become more familiar with the machines, the time needed for surgical procedures is likely to decrease.57. What can be learned about the traditional surgery according to the passage?A. Long inci sions are made in a patient’s chest.B. It often takes a longer time to do an operation.C. The cost of the traditional surgery is very high.D. The incision is likely to be infected after the operation.58. Which of the following is one disadvantage of keyhole surgery?A. It requires the use of long, thin tools and a tiny camera.B. The doctors can not view the inside of the patients body clearly.C. The direction in which a doctor moves the surgical tools is opposite.D. A tiny camer a has to be inserted into the patient’s body in advance.59. The Da Vinci Surgical System differs from keyhole surgery in that it ______.A. requires that a surgeon make more small incisions on a patientB. reduces the amount of time it takes to perform a surgical procedureC. allows the surgeon to use the surgical instruments more sensitivelyD. gets rid of the need for surgeons to make large incisions on patients60.

But it is not good to escape from problems by giving up or by making excuses for failures. You may be sure that all young people go through the same difficult process that you are going through： meeting new situations, developing new skills, and testing their abilities.If you are unhappy about something, face it. Try to state the problem in a few words, so that you will know exactly what you are up against. Then see if you can put your finger on the cause of your unhappiness.In many cases, we only “think” there is no solution to a particular problem. But often we can overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack.For example, a boy wanted to be a debater. When he tried out for the debating team as a freshman , the coach thought he was hopeless .He was shy ; he had a high-pitched （音调） voice ; and his posture （体态） was poor . Although he was given little hope of success, he took advantage of very opportunity to debate. He studied successful speakers and sized up his own weaknesses and assets. Then he spent many hours learning all the facts on the topics for debate, and worked a developing good posture and at speaking clearly. By his junior year, he made the school debating team, and in his senior year he was on the winning team in his state. He achieved his goal because he had made a direct attack upon his problem.Although direct attack is often the best way to meet problems, we have to be realistic in judging situations. Sometimes it is necessary to change either the tactics （策略） or the goal .A boy who wants to be a great football player may be too light and not quite fastenough for football. In this situation, becoming a great football player may be an unreasonable goal for him. However, he may become outstanding in tennis or golf, and satisfy his desire to take part in sports.A girl who had plain features may decide that she cannot win popularity with her face, and so she may try to develop an interesting personality, which eventually will get her much further. In this situation, she must change her method of achieving her goal.So, although direct attack is often the best way to handle problems, it is important to study the situation and make a wise decision about what to do. 68．The underlined phrase in the second paragraph probably means .A．point out B．look into C．press down D．give up 69．What does the author mean by taking example from the boy who wanted to be a debater?A．We can escape from problems by making excuses for failures.B．We can overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack.C．It is necessary to change our method of achieving our goal.D．It is important to be realistic in judging situations.70．Which of the following can be the main idea of the text?A．Some people who find themselves unable to solve a problem react by just giving up.B．If you are unhappy about something, face it, and try to state the problem ina few words.C．All young people go through the same difficult process that you are going through.D．Although direct attack is often the best way to handle problems, it is important to study the situation and make a wise decision about what to do.71．The writer expresses his arguments by .A．reasoning and giving examples B．introducing and making comparisons C．explaining and giving figures D．describing and making comments************************************************************结束My bookshelves are full of dust —and with good reason. When it comes to cleaning that part of my home, I suffer from the most serious case of avoidance (回避反应症).The thing is this: when I do set out to clean and re-organize my books, which seldom happens, I place myself into a really bad situation. No sooner do I take a title from the shelf, blow off the dust, and wipe down the cover than I find myself sitting on the floor with legs crossed and my back against the wall. Pretty soon books get piled up on my legs as I am reunited with old friends.It is as if these books have voices, and each wants to say its piece. “Remember me? I was given to you when you went into the Navy, so that you would never lack for companionship,” one whispers. Another says, “I was your first book of poems, given to you before you learned to love poetry.” And a third, “I was the book that made history so attractive to you.”Perhaps the greatest pleasure of re-organizing my books are the surprises —or better said, reunions — that occur. During my latest book-cleaning adventure, I found one that had fallen be hind the shelf: “Tales of Edgar Allan Poe.” Not an unusual title, but the words written on the first page made it very special: “With Love from Mom and Dad, C hristmas 1965.” What’s this? A book on the physics of lasers （激光）. It is filled with mathematical statements, and I had bought it at a library sale when I was 12, not long after the laser had been invented. I couldn’t understand a bit of it, but I did learn what “laser” meant.What I end up with when I empty my bookshelves is a cross-section (横剖面) of m y personal history. It’s like a road cut where one sees all the layers of rock going back through time to the beginning of the simplest life forms. The books I’ve read— and kept —are not just old friends. They are my résumé.72．What can be inferred about the author?A．He is too busy to tidy up his bookshelves.B． He considers his books treasured possessions.C．He has made a lot of notes in his books.D． He is a lover of science books.73．By saying that his books have voices, the author means .A．they bring back happy memoriesB．they are recorded in human voiceC．they say a lot about human historyD．they offer good topics for discussion74．What does the author enjoy most from re-organizing his books?A．Finding some missing books.B．Putting books in good order.C．Learning something new from the books.D．Rediscovering interesting stories behind some books.75．By sharing his own experience, the author wants to express that .A．the course of cleaning his bookshelves is like going back to his history B．he has suffered from the most serious case of avoidanceC．the re-organizing of his books is a surprising adventureD．the books on his bookshelves have voices参考答案************************************************************结束Passage ***My sister and I grew up in a little village in England. Our father was a struggling ___36___, but I always knew he was ___37___. He never criticized us, but used ___38___ to bring out our best. He’d say,” If you pout water on flowers,they flourish.

There are almost 2000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted(引用) all over the influence all over the country. However the Post and the Times are not national newspapers in the sense that the Times is in Britain or le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these present detailed accounts of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news.Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the“sensational”, wh ich feature crime, sex and gossip, to the serious, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with the attraction of television.Just as American newspapers satisfy all tastes, so do they also try and appeal to readers of all political persuasions(信念).A few newspapers support extremist groupson the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers attempt to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are essentially moderate(中立的).Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and social views, in order to present a balanced picture.As in other countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once courageously exposed political scandals(诽谤)or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair. The newspaper drew the attention of the public to the horrors of the Vietnam War.63. There are fewer national newspapers in__________.A. Britain than in the USE.B. France than in BritainC. the USA than in Britain or FranceD. France than in the USA or Britain64. Most American newspapers try hard to entertain their readers because________.A.they have to keep up a good relation with themB.they have to compete with televisionC.they have to write about crime, sex and gossipD.they have to give factual news in an interesting way65. Many American newspaper attract readers of different political preference by__________.A.supporting extremist groups from time to timeB.inviting middle-of-the-road American to write articles for themC.avoiding carrying articles about extremistsD.printing articles representing different political viewpoint66.

When I took him my shoes, he at first told me, “I haven’t time. Take them to the other fellow on the main street. He’ll fix them for you right away.”But I had my eyes on his shop for a long time. Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather, I knew he was a skilled craftsman(手艺人). “No.”I replied, “The other fellow can’t do it well.”“The other fellow” was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys — without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys. They work carelessly, and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap(鞋带), you might as well just throw away the pair.My man saw I wouldn’t give in, and he smiled. He wiped hands on his blue apron(围裙), looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said, “Come back in a week.”I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boots off a shelf.“See what I can do?” he said with pride. “Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work.”When I got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me. He was something out of an ancient legend, this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his very strange dusty felt hat, his funny accent and his pride in his craft.These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any old way as long as it “pays”, when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption rather than a way to realize their abilities. In such a period it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done.41. Which of the following is true about the old cobbler?A. He was equipped with the best repairing tools.B. He was the only cobbler in the Marais.C. He was proud of his skills.D. He was a native Parisian.42. The sentence “He was something out of an ancient legend” implies that ______.A. nowadays you can hardly find anyone like himB. it was difficult to communicate with this manC. the man was very strangeD. the man was too old43. According to the author, many people work just to ______.A. realize their abilitiesB. gain happinessC. make moneyD. gain respect44. This story wants to tell us that ______.A. craftsmen make a lot of moneyB. whatever you do, do it wellC. craftsmen need self-respectD. people are born equal参考答案41-44CAC 44、B******************************************************结束If you think English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the earlier people learn a second language, the greater the effect is.A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London(UCL), took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals(通两种语言的人)”, who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a secon d language,” said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills.“Having two languages gives you two w indows on the world and makes the brain more flexible,”he said, “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2and 34.Reading, writing and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the earlier they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,”explained the scientists.45. What does the underlined part “grey matter” (in Paragraph 2) refer to?A. Grey hair.B. Material of the brain.C. Intelligence.D. Difficult situations.46. The experience of learning a second language can ______.A. change one’s brain completelyB. improve one’s maths skillsC. make one smarter than othersD. increase the ability to learn47. We can learn from the passage that ______.A. the researchers from UCL did another study in ItalyB. a similar study was done on native Italian speakers who learn English as a secondlanguageC. the research done on the Italians showed a totally different resultD. it will be easier for one to travel around the world by learning a second language48. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Learning a second language can help improve your brain power.B. You should learn a second language that is not your native language.C. If you want to learn a second language, you should do it at a certain age.D. The research done by the researchers from UCL is very successful.参考答案45-48 BDBA********************************************************结束Passage ***On May 27, 1995, our life was suddenly changed.

He’d nee d a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.While many people in China will remember Confucius on his sp ecial day, few people in the United States will give him a passin g thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even re member the birthdays of their own national heroes.But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confuciu s. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must c ross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have ga ined huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more th an 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language a nd culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include d Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy. Students in the United St ates, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese.So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equalpower with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to underst and their Chinese customers.So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well.Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to th e West.As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.56. The passage is likely to appear in ________.A. a biographyB. a history paperC. a newspaperD. a philosophy textbook57. The opening paragraph is mainly intended to________.A. provide some key facts about ConfuciusB. attract the readers’ interest in the subjectC. show great respect for the ancient thinkerD. prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations58. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students____ ____.A. have a great interest in studying ChineseB. take an active part in Chinese competitionsC. try to get high scores in Chinese examsD. fight for a chance to learn Chinese59. What is the best title for the passage?A. Forgotten Wisdom in AmericaB. Huge Fans of the Chinese LanguageC. Chinese Culture for WesternersD.

This year, it’s Wi-Fi-enabled laundry machines and fridges that can tell you when yo ur groceries are going bad.The washers and dryers, available starting in the spring, conne ct to any smart-phone through a downloadable application. The phone can then be used as a remote control, so the machines can be turned o n and off while their owners is at work or on the bus. Samsung says it’s not just something new — the app connectio n actually has some practical uses.“If you started to dry clothes in the morning and forgot to take th em out, you can go to your phone and restart your dryer for the time when you come home, so your clothes are refreshed and r eady to go,” said spokesperson Amy Schmidt.The company also says that with electricity rate(电)varying dep ending on the time of day, more control over when the machine s are used can help save money.Perhaps, but what they will probably really accomplish is what a ll good technologies do —enable laziness. Rather than getting up to check on whether the laundry is done, users will instead monitor it on their phones w hile watching TV.60. What can be inferred from the common response of the atte ndees at the CES?A. The machine will be a big success.B. their wives like doing the laundry.C. The machine is unrelated to their life.D. This kind of technology is familiar to them.61. We can conclude from Samsung’s statements that ________ ___.A. the app connection makes life easierB. it is better to dry clothes in the morningC. smart-phone can shorten the drying time D. we should refresh clothes back at home62. What can we learn about the new laundry machines?A. They can tell you when your clothes need washing.B. They can be controlled with a smart-phone.C. They are difficult to operate.D. They are sold at a low price.63. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. The laundry should be frequently checked.B. Lazy people like using such machines.C. Good technologies also cause problems.D. Television may help do the laundry.参考答案 60、C A B C******************************************************结束The time of year a baby is born can shape what profession th ey will embark on in later life, a new study has suggested. Bein g born in a certain month appears to indicate the possibility of w hat job a person will end up with, the study by the Office for Nati onal Statistics found.Researchers have uncovered that the month in which babies are born could also affect everything from intelligence to length of life. A child born in December is more likely to become a dent ist while someone whose birthday falls in January will tend to a debt collector, they found.A February birth appears to increase the chances of being an artist while March babies appear to go on to become pilots. Me anwhile, April and May are said to have a fairly even spread ofprofessions, births in the summer months mean a much lower c hance of becoming a high-earning football player, doctor or dentist. The study was gained by researchers who analyzed the birth months of people in 19 s eparate occupations using information from the last census (人口普查), the Daily Mail reported. Although these trends may be diffic ult to explain, relations between birth months and specific healt h problems have a scientific basis.Spring babies are at greater risk of illnesses including schizo phrenia, Alzheim er’s disease, asthma and autism. They may al so be less clever than classmates born in other parts of the yea r. (/news-115-76605.html)63. What does the underlined phrase “embark on” refer to?A. land onB. keep in touch withC. be engaged inD. break from64. According to the researchers, a child born in March is likely to become_______.A. a debt collectorB. a pilotC. a dentistD. an artist65. We can learn from the text that______.A. the month babies are born could only affect his intelligence a nd length of lifeB. People born in the summer months are more likely to get hig hly paidC. Spring babies may have the bigger chance to get illD. the choice of profession for April and May is very narrow66. What can be included from the passage?A. There exist connections between birth date and occupationsB. The fate has been already decided when people are bornC. People born in Autumn would be more successful than those born in SpringD. The time of year one is born decides which specific health pr oblems one has参考答案63—66 CBCA**********************************************************结束In 1986，when Carlo Petrini first coined the term “Slow Food，” he organ ized locally in his native Italy to preserve the food and wine cult ure and protest fast food.Today, slow food has spread to 132 countries with over 85, 000 members, addressing worldwide issues like farmer equity and environmental stewardship—the actions people take to respect the rights of all living things a nd all environments, to contribute to healthy and livable commu nities.Characterized by Slow Food International as “good, clean, and f air food，” slow food must enrich the eaters' life，have no negative impact on human or environmental health，and compensate fairly for food producers' work.The average American meal travels about 1,500 miles to its fina l destination, with producing of food traveling by plane from ove rseas and other items shipped across the country.However，cost for food travel and heavy processing are not the only probl ems in the food industry that the environment faces. Industrial a griculture also has unsustainable practices like inefficient water use and decreased biodiversity. Our ideas in feeding ourselves are exceptional, but at various points our technologies come into conflict with nature's ways of doing things. A great many of th e health and environmental problems created by our food syste m owe to our attempts to oversimplify natures complexities, at b oth the growing and the eating ends of our food chain.“Slowing” food, by purchasing locally and sustainably, allows co nsumers to reduce the impact of “food miles” and develop a clo ser relationship with their food producers.“ We need to change our food system，” said David Prior, organizer of Slow Food Na tion EatIn. “Our current food system is sick and we need to sup port farmers and agriculture to ensure that everyone has the rig ht to nutritious food.”72. The main idea of the passage can be summarized as______ __.A. why slow food is so importantB. the food and wine culture is rich in ItalyC. what you're eating always travels a long wayD. slow food makes the current food system sick73. According to the second paragraph, “environmental steward ship” refers to________.A. measures of environmental protectionsB. ways to establish healthy and livable communitiesC. people's admiration for all the creatures on the earthD. actions to protect the rights of all living things and environme nt74. Slow food's characteristic doesn't lie in________.A. improving the quality of eaters' lifeB. providing a fair pay for food workersC. being friendly to human and environmental healthD. developing a loose relationship with food producers75. What is David Prior's attitude towards current food system?A. Suspicious.B. Unsatisfied.C. Indifferent.D. Supportive.参考答案 72-75 ADDBADubai, the Gulf desert city state, which is well-known for its huge projects before it was hit by the global financ ial crisis(危机), on Saturday announced a new development to open the w orld’s biggest mall and a park larger than London’s Hyde Park.The ruler of the Gulf desert city state, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, announced the plan for a “new city within Dubai”, acc ording to an official statement, naming it after himself.No cost was stated for “Mohammed bin Rashid City,” to be carri ed out by his private companies, which developed many of Dub ai’s well-known projects, including Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest tower.The “Mall of the World” will attract 80 million visitors a year to b ecome the “largest in the world,” said the statement, while its pa rk will be “30 percent bigger than Hyde Park of London.”The mall will be connected to a family entertainment center to b e developed in cooperation with Universal Studios International that will be the largest in the area, aiming to attract six million vi sitors a year.Dubai already has countless malls and hotels, including the Du bai Mall, the world’s largest shopping and entertainment destina tion, with 62 million visitors this year. “The malls and hotels avai lable at present in Dubai need to be enlarged in line with the fut ure ambitions for the city,” Sheikh Mohammed said in the state ment.Dubai’s tourism is growing by 13 percent a year, according to the statement, with hotel occupancy(入住率) hitting 82 percent in 2011 while hotel profits grew 22 percen t last year, more than$4.4 billion.The city state rocked global financial markets in autumn 2009 o ver its debt crisis, but its economy has returned to growth.56.

He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the Unit ed States will give him a passing thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even rem ember the birthdays of their own national heroes.But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he has becom e a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more th an 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chin ese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy. Students in the United Sta tes, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese.So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. B usinessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understa nd their Chinese customers.So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well.Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Conf ucius and Chinese culture to the West.As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.56. The passage is likely to appear in ________.A. a biographyB. a history paperC. a newspaperD. a philosophy textbook57. The opening paragraph is mainly intended to________.A. provide some key facts about ConfuciusB. attract the readers’ interest in the subjectC. show great respect for the ancient thinkerD. prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations58. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students________.A. have a great interest in studying ChineseB. take an active part in Chinese competitionsC. try to get high scores in Chinese examsD. fight for a chance to learn Chinese59. What is the best title for the passage?A. Forgotten Wisdom in AmericaB. Huge Fans of the Chinese LanguageC. Chinese Culture for WesternersD.

Last year, it was a refrigerator that tweeted. This year, it’s Wi-Fi-enabled laundry machines and fridges that can tell you when your groceries are going bad. The washers and dryers, available starting in the spring, connect to any smart-phone through a downloadable application. The phone can then be used as a remote control, s o the machines can be turned on and off while their owners is at work or on the bus. Samsung says it’s not just something new — the app connection actually has some practical us es.“If you started to dry clothes in the morning and forgot to take them out, you can go to your pho ne and restart your dryer for the time when you come home, so your clothes are refreshed and r eady to go,” said spokesperson Amy Schmidt.The company also says that with electricity rate(电)varying depending on the time of day, more control over when the machines are used can help save money.Perhaps, but what they will probably really accomplish is what all good technologies do —enable laziness. Rather than getting up to check on whether the laundry is done, users will inste ad monitor it on their phones while watching TV.60. What can be inferred from the common response of the attendees at the CES?A. The machine will be a big success.B. their wives like doing the laundry.C. The machine is unrelated to their life.D. This kind of technology is familiar to them.61. We can conclude from Samsung’s statements that ___________.A. the app connection makes life easierB. it is better to dry clothes in the morningC. smart-phone can shorten the drying timeD. we should refresh clothes back at home62. What can we learn about the new laundry machines?A. They can tell you when your clothes need washing.B. They can be controlled with a smart-phone.C. They are difficult to operate.D. They are sold at a low price.63. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. The laundry should be frequently checked.B. Lazy people like using such machines.C. Good technologies also cause problems.D. Television may help do the laundry.参考答案 60、C A B C******************************************************结束The time of year a baby is born can shape what profession they will embark on in later life, a new study has suggested. Being born in a certain month appears to indicate the possibility of w hat job a person will end up with, the study by the Office for National Statistics found.Researchers have uncovered that the month in which babies are born could also affect every thing from intelligence to length of life. A child born in December is more likely to become a dent ist while someone whose birthday falls in January will tend to a debt collector, they found.A February birth appears to increase the chances of being an artist while March babies appe ar to go on to become pilots. Meanwhile, April and May are said to have a fairly even spread of professions, births in the summer months mean a much lower chance of becoming a high-earning football player, doctor or dentist. The study was gained by researchers who analyzed th e birth months of people in 19 separate occupations using information from the last census (人口普查), the Daily Mail reported. Although these trends may be difficult to explain, relations between birth months and specific health problems have a scientific basis.Spring babies are at greater risk of illnesses including schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, as thma and autism. They may also be less clever than classmates born in other parts of the year. (/news-115-76605.html)63. What does the underlined phrase “embark on” refer to?A. land onB. keep in touch withC. be engaged inD. break from64. According to the researchers, a child born in March is likely to become_______.A. a debt collectorB. a pilotC. a dentistD. an artist65. We can learn from the text that______.A. the month babies are born could only affect his intelligence and length of lifeB. People born in the summer months are more likely to get highly paidC. Spring babies may have the bigger chance to get illD. the choice of profession for April and May is very narrow66. What can be included from the passage?A. There exist connections between birth date and occupationsB. The fate has been already decided when people are bornC. People born in Autumn would be more successful than those born in SpringD. The time of year one is born decides which specific health problems one has参考答案63—66 CBCA**********************************************************结束In 1986，when Carlo Petrini first coined the term “Slow Food，” he organized locally in his native Italy to preserve the food and wine culture and protest fast food.Today, slow food has spread to 132 countries with over 85, 000 members, addressing worldwid e issues like farmer equity and environmental stewardship—the actions people take to respect the rights of all living things and all environments, to contribut e to healthy and livable communities.Characterized by Slow Food International as “good, clean, and fair food，” slow food must enric h the eaters' life，have no negative impact on human or environmental health，and compensate fairly for food producers' work.The average American meal travels about 1,500 miles to its final destination, with producing of f ood traveling by plane from overseas and other items shipped across the country.However，cost for food travel and heavy processing are not the only problems in the food industry that the environment faces. Industrial agriculture also has unsustainable practices like inefficient water u se and decreased biodiversity. Our ideas in feeding ourselves are exceptional, but at various po ints our technologies come into conflict with nature's ways of doing things. A great many of the health and environmental problems created by our food system owe to our attempts to oversim plify natures complexities, at both the growing and the eating ends of our food chain.“Slowing” food, by purchasing locally and sustainably, allows consumers to reduce the impact of “food miles” and develop a closer relationship with their food producers.“ We need to change o ur food system，” said David Prior, organizer of Slow Food Nation EatIn. “Our current food syst em is sick and we need to support farmers and agriculture to ensure that everyone has the right to nutritious food.”72. The main idea of the passage can be summarized as________.A. why slow food is so importantB. the food and wine culture is rich in ItalyC. what you're eating always travels a long wayD. slow food makes the current food system sick73. According to the second paragraph, “environmental stewardship” refers to________.A. measures of environmental protectionsB. ways to establish healthy and livable communitiesC. people's admiration for all the creatures on the earthD. actions to protect the rights of all living things and environment74. Slow food's characteristic doesn't lie in________.A. improving the quality of eaters' lifeB. providing a fair pay for food workersC. being friendly to human and environmental healthD. developing a loose relationship with food producers75. What is David Prior's attitude towards current food system?A. Suspicious.B. Unsatisfied.C. Indifferent.D. Supportive.参考答案 72-75 ADDBADubai, the Gulf desert city state, which is well-known for its huge projects before it was hit by the global financial crisis(危机), on Saturday announced a new development to open the world’s biggest mall and a park lar ger than London’s Hyde Park.The ruler of the Gulf desert city state, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, announced the plan for a “new city within Dubai”, according to an official statement, n aming it after himself.No cost was stated for “Mohammed bin Rashid City,” to be carried out by his private companies , which developed many of Dubai’s well-known projects, including Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest tower.The “Mall of the World” will attract 80 million visitors a year to become the “largest in the world,”said the statement, while its park will be “30 percent bigger than Hyde Park of London.”The mall will be connected to a family entertainment center to be developed in cooperation with Universal Studios International that will be the largest in the area, aiming to attract six million vis itors a year.Dubai already has countless malls and hotels, including the Dubai Mall, the world’s largest shop ping and entertainment destination, with 62 million visitors this year. “The malls and hotels avail able at present in Dubai need to be enlarged in line with the future ambitions for the city,” Sheik h Mohammed said in the statement.Dubai’s tourism is growing by 13 percent a year, according to the statement, with hotel occu pancy(入住率) hitting 82 percent in 2011 while hotel profits grew 22 percent last year, more than$4.4 billion .The city state rocked global financial markets in autumn 2009 over its debt crisis, but its econo my has returned to growth.。

Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently it's because we have mirror neurons (神经元）in our brains.Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate (模仿)it，whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further： mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions y they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language.A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: “The hand took hold of the ball”), the same mirror neuron s were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball).Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and interact(互动）.Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent (相等物）for neuroscience of what Einstein's theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does---well, perhaps you'll understand why.72. Mirror neurons can explain .A.why we cry when we are hurtB. why we cough when we suffer from a coldC. why we smile when we see someone else smileD. why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late73. __________________________________________________ The underlined word "triggered" in the third paragraph probably means “__ ’’A. set offB. cut offC. built upD. broken up74. ____________________________________ W e can learn from the passage that mirror neurons ________________________________ ________.A. relate to human behavior and interactionB. control human physical actions and feelingsC. result in bad behavior and social disordersD. determine our knowledge and language abilities75.

Strangely, it is in a town that calls itself Butterfly U.S.A., Pacific Grove, California.The town of Pacific Grove loves the butterflies. Every year they have a parade (游行) and hundreds of children dress up as butterflies. Monarch butterflies are the town mascot. Tourism is very important, and many people come to see the butterflies. The butterflies are good for the development of the town.In 1981 there were so many butterflies it looked like it was raining butterflies. Tens of thousands of Monarchs stayed on tree branches near Pacific Grove. Now there are not so many. The building goes on a little bit at a time, and you don’t notice it day by day. Over time, you can see that there has been a lot of development. As new buildings go up, many trees are cut down. This reduces the natural homes for the butterflies.Monarchs travel hundreds of miles each year, returning to the same woods, often to the same trees. The female Monarchs need milkweed to lay their eggs; the males will follow the females.Millions of Monar chs have traveled regularly along the same path for thousands of years. They start their trip in the mountains of Mexico and travel to the middle part of America. If the woods where the butterflies live are destroyed, the whole species (物种) could be lost. There have been Monarch butterflies along the coast of California for as long as man can remember, but no one is sure how much longer they will last.56．Which of the following is true about Monarch butterflies in Pacific Grove?A．They have disappear.B．They come to stay every year.C．They help develop the town’s touris m.D．They give a name to Pacific Grove.57．The unde rlined word “mascot” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to ________.A．a new type of butterflyB．an insect believed to bring good luckC．a parade organized by Pacific GroveD．a special dress for children in Pacific Grove58．What problem do Monar ch butterflies face now?A．New buildings take up their living space.B．There has been too much rain in recent years.C．Their natural homes are destroyed by tourism.D．They have to travel a long distance to get home.59．Where do Monarch butterflies start their trip to Pacific Grove?A．From Central America.

Recently, however, more and more people have been going to the movies. This may be partly because the economic situation in America has worsened. When at the movies, people forget their troubles, as they get involved in the story on the screen. Also, directors have recently been producing pictures that large numbers of people want to see.Americans in the millions are returning to their love affair with the movies. Motion picture industry experts see two main factors responsible for this: an increased need by Americans to escape from economic worries and a large number of new movies withbroad audience appeal.Movie makers admit that their rising popularity is partly the result of poor economic conditions, which traditionally bring an increase in theater attendance. “When people are fearful about the future, they look for escape,” comments Jack Valenti, president of the Motion Picture Association of America. “In a shaded theater, with a 65-foot screen, you lose yourself for two and a half hours and people find this beneficial.”60. What did movie makers worry about before?A. That no one would go to the cinema.B. That movies couldn’t be a business any more.C. That their movies might be played on television.D. That people preferred watching TV to seeing films.61. Why are so many people going to see movies now?A. Because people now have much more money.B. Because people have troubles.C. Because people wanted to escape from real life.D. Because watching movies is now much cheaper than watching TV.62.

This beautifully animated film(动画片)is a first class production in every way, and features the familiar voices of Kristin Chenoweth, Anjelica Huston, Jane Horrocks, Lucy Liu, and Raven Symone. The movie offers up an adventure that's easy enough to follow, but complex enough to hold one's attention, and even throws in a nice little moral about friendship. What can I say? I'm pleasantly surprised.The up-and-coming Mae Whitman voices Tinker Bell herself, a far more dynamic character than we encountered in Peter Pan. Though Tinker still possesses her fiery temper, it doesn't manifest itself immediately, and takes a backseat to this pixie's many good qualities. As it turns out, Tinker Bell is extremely skilled at tinkering （修补）, so she is a natural choice to build a special scepter(拐杖)， for Pixie Hollow's Autumn Celebration. The scepter will hold the moonstone through which the light of the Blue Moon will pass, supplying Pixie Hollow with enough pixie dust for the year ahead.For days, Tinkers works hard on the perfect scepter design while her good friend Terrence does his best to assist. When Terrence accidentally breaks the Moon Stone, Tinker Bell "explodes" and sends him away. One of Tinker's more literal friends finds this extremely concerning, as she doesn't quite understand that the outburst was emotional rather than physical —very funny indeed.After hearing the legend of the lost treasure, Tinker Bell strikes out on herown to find a new Moon Stone. She faces many difficulties and meets new friends along the way, but when Terrence comes to the rescue at Tinker's darkest hour, she realizes the value of a truly loyal friend. Though the film is engaging and offers a positive message to young viewers, it's the animation that makes Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure stand out. Pixie Hollow is an enchanting, visually stunning world basked in lush colors. It's so lovely, so detailed, so three-dimensional that you almost want to step inside.60．From the first paragraph, we can learn that .A．many famous actors acted important roles in the filmB．the plot of the film is attractive and easy to understandC．the write feels surprised at the message of friendship in the filmD．the film Tinker Bill and the Lost Treasure may disappoint you if you love magic tales61．What’s the correct order of the following details?a．Tinker Bell realizes the value of a truly loyal friend.b．Terrence breaks the Moon Stone by accident.c．Tinker Bell is determined to build a special scepter.d．Terrence comes to the rescue when Tinkers was in trouble.A．c b d a B．b c d a C．b c a d D．c d a b 62．In the writer’s opinion, the characteristics of Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure are the following EXCEPT .A．the attractive detailsB．the lively animation charactersC．the three-dimensional animationD．the moving love story between Tinker Bell and Terrence63．The article picked from a website is a(n) .A．movie poster B．movie reviewC．introduction to a book D．person introduction********************************************************结束When a Filipino lady is to be married, she will be the busiest person in the scene.

Some societies, such as America and Australia, for example, are mobile and very open. People here change jobs and move houses quite often. As a result, they have a lot of relationships that often last only a short time, and they need to get to know people quickly. So it’s normal to have friendly conversations with people that they have just met, and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard as personal.On the other hand, there are more crowded and less mobile societies where long–term relationships are more important. A Malaysian or Mexican business person, for example, will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business. But when you do get to know each other, the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society.To Americans, both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at first. On the other hand, as a passenger from a less mobile society puts it, it’s no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you don’t want to answer.Cross-cultural differences aren’t just a problem for travelers, but also for the flights that carry them. All flights want to provide the best service, but ideas about good service are different from place to place. This can be seen most clearly in the way that problems are dealt with.Some societies have “universalist” cultures. These societies strongly respect rules, and they treat every person and situation in basically the same way. “Particularist” societies, on the other hand, also have rules, but they are less impor tant than the society’s unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or a particular person. So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situation or the importance of the person.This difference can cause problems. A traveler from a particularist society, India, is checking in for a flight in Germany, a country which has a universalist culture. The Indian traveler has too much luggage, but he explains that he has been away from home for a long time and the suitcases are full of presents for his family. He expects that the check–in official will understand his problem and will change the rules for him. The check–in official explains that if he was allowed to have too much luggage, it wouldn’t be fair to the other passen gers. But the traveler thinks this is unfair, because the other passengers don’t have his problem.49. Often moving from one place to another makes people like Americans and Australians______.A. like traveling betterB. easy to communicate withC. difficult to make real friendsD. have a long–term relationship with their neighbors50. People like Malaysians prefer to associate with those ______.A. who will tell them everything of their ownB. who want to do business with themC. they know quite wellD. who are good at talking51.

No one obeys the society’s rules though they have.D. The society’s rules can be changed with different persons or situations.53.

But can you believe that a school in England is using classical music to cut down on（减少）students' bad behavior?The head teacher Brian Walker at the West Park School in Derby asks some students to stay behind after school on Fridays. He forces his students to listen to Mozart and other classical（古典的）music. He also makes them copy（抄写）his favorite poems and they have to watch educational videos.Mr. Walker says his main aim is to stop noisy pupils causing trouble in class for students who want to study. He said the students staying behind were "not the smokers or drinkers, the truants (逃学的学生) or the people who are late for school... It's those who have slowed the learning and teaching in class for everyone". Mr. Walker said this was unacceptable, because it was making the rest of the students distract（转移）their attention on their study.Mr. Walker believes what he does reminds students that education is something to value. "It helps them see they are part of something bigger that will improve their life chances," he said. The head teacher thinks students in fact learn from being kept behind after school. "Hopefully, I open their ears to an experience they don't normally have and...don't want to have again, so it's both educational and acts as a warning."Music has had success elsewhere in reducing bad behavior. In 2004, it reduced crime（犯罪）on London's subway by 25 percent. Researchers from a Belfast university found it helped stop elephants' bad behavior.However, one West Park student called Kieran said, "An hour of Mr. Walker's music is a real killer."71. Mr. Walker asks his students to listen to music to _______________.A. make them rest after a day's studyB. punish them for their bad behaviorC. get them to love arts graduallyD. reduce their bad behavior72. A student who _____may be left behind to listen to Mozart after class.A. plays truantB. smokes in classC. bothers（打扰）others in classD. comes late for class73. Why does Mr. Walker say some students' bad behavior is unacceptable?A. Because the rest of the students hate them.B. Because they are wasting their life.C. Because they are disturbing teachers.D. Because they have a bad influence on the other students.74. In the eyes of Mr. Walker,_____.A. some students don't realize education is valuableB. all students can learn from musicC. music must be taught after classD. students ought to love music75. It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that_____.A. the action Mr. Walker takes doesn't really work as plannedB. Mr. Walker aims to tell students study is importantC. once music helped animals behave wellD. animals also like to listen to music参考答案71. DCDAA****************************************************结束AMost of my earliest childhood memories are of thebeach — in the hot sun, building sandcastles, burying Dadin the sand.Now the coast has a pleasant and relaxing attractionbeyond words. I look forward to a windy cliff-top walk or a rainy day rock-picking just as much as those rare moments when I get to a short sleep in the sun. But there’s nothing more pleasurablethan turning up at a beach to find it deserted.These are my favourite secret beaches — ones either not well known or take a bit of effort to get to. Most of those listed scored highly in the Marine Conservation Society Good Beach Guide 2009; the others are too secret even for them.Sennen Clove is just a mile northeast of Land’s End, the westernmost point of mainland England. It’s a beautiful spot, with white sands, deep green sea and amazing sunsets over the Isles (群岛) of Scilly, 28 miles away.The west-facing beach is popular with surfers, with bigger waves and winds often found at the Gwenver end. There’s a beach restaurant with good views of the bay and the sunsets.The smallest of Isles of Scilly, Bryher is a mile long, half a mile wide —and a natural wilderness of unbelievable scenery. Walk along the narrow sandy roads to the eastern seaboard and you come to two quiet beaches.Green Bay has views over to the palm trees of Tresco’s Abbey Gardens, and a little further south is Rushy Bay, a beautiful beach facing the deserted island of Samson.On Bryher, farm shops sell locally grown produce, and they trust you to leave the money in the pot. It’s that kind of place.56. The best title for this passage is ________.A. The Beautiful British IslesB. Secret Beaches on the British IslesC. The Most Pleasurable Place in BritainD. My Experience of Searching Beaches57. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. The author is a tourist guide in a tourist agency.B. The author likes walking on a rainy cliff-top most.C. The author wrote the article to advertise for the beaches.D. The author loves beaches that are not known to most people.58. Which of the following maps can correctly describe the geography position?(LE=Land’s End SC=Sennen Cove IS=the Isles of Scilly)59. In the author’s view, farmers on Bryher are ________.A. sincereB. selfishC. courageousD. mean**************************************************************结束(典型例题)By my third day in the hospital, I realized Owen didn't visit.

It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives — the big political stories, the news of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more news of scientific research, though. It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因) engineering. In the future, I think there will be more reports of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do —as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I’m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read — sports and international news, etc.I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(媒体).They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn’t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.67. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Best Way to Get NewsB. The Changes of MediaC. Make Your Own NewspaperD. The Future of Newspaper68. In the writer’s opinion, in the future, _______.A. more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make newsB. newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longerC. newspapers will report more scientific researchD. more and more people will watch TV69. What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?A. Sports and international news.B. A menu of important news.C. The most important news.D. What you are interested in.70. From the passage, we can infer _______.A. newspapers will win the competition among the different mediaB. newspapers will stay with us together with other mediaC. television will take the place of newspaperD. the writer believe some media will die out参考答案 67—70 DCDB*******************************************************结束。

本文讲的就是让人们从下面几个方面着手建立良好的人际关系：交流，尊重，支持和理解，但这一切的基础是有“爱”。
5．The underlined word “distraught” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.A．helpless B．surprisingC．funny D．upsetting解析：选D。
猜测词义题。
根据该词所在的语境可知这句话是用一种对比的手法表达转折的意思，所以该词的意思应该是和happy相反的，故选upsetting“令人苦恼的”。
6．To communicate well with people, you should know that ________.A．supporting each other in anything helps build a good relationshipB．a white lie is necessary sometimesC．compromises are essential at any timeD．your friends need to have the same backgrounds with you解析：选B。
细节理解题。
根据第二段Good communication indeed governs a good relationship －knowing the right thing to say，when to say it，how to say it，and accepting some things that are better left unsaid.和第三段的内容可知：学会交流就是要知道什么该说，该什么时候说，怎样说，哪些不能说。
也就是说，有时候要撒谎，有时候善意的谎言是必要的，故选B。
7．According to the text, which of the following are important for a good relationship?a．communication b．support c．love d．hidden selvesA．a－b－d B．a－c－dC．b－c－d D．a－b－c解析：选D。
细节理解题。
根据最后一段可知，爱很重要，它需要交流，尊重，支持和理解，但没有hidden selves，所以选D。
