Ⅱ.阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。
A
A public high school in the rural town of Boonsboro，Maryland，offers a special program.Top students in the ninth and tenth grades can attend single-sex classes for math，science，English and social studies.
The aim is to help teenagers keep their mind on their work by keeping males and females apart.Rebecca Brown chooses the students for what Boonsboro High School calls the Academy.“What we really want to do is take that top group of kids and take them to the very highest level they can achieve here，so that they're prepared for college，” she said.They need high marks and test scores and strong teacher recommendations.They also need to be involved in activities.
Michael Bair has been at Boonsboro High School for twenty years and directs the Academy.His ninth-grade English class for boys centers on books that he believes boys find interesting.“The novels they're reading now，are very manly novels.They're novels that deal with the arrogance(傲慢) of man and the pride of man.”One of those books，for example，is “The Call of the Wild” by Jack London.This classic story tells of a dog stolen from his home and sold to work as a sled dog in Canada's Klondike Gold Rush.
On this day，the students are working in small groups.Vincent and Logan explain why they're drawing pictures that relate to the story.Vincent said，“The main character，Buck，gets abducted(绑架) and they send him off to the Yukon in a train.So I'm drawing part of the story where he's in the train.It gets you to visualize the setting of the story and gets you to think more about what's going on in the story，the important events of the story.”“Instead of just doing work sheets about it，this is a lot more fun，” Logan added happily.
Morgan Van Fleet likes being in the Academy.She says boys and girls act differently when they are together in a classroom.“To me，it almost seems like it's hindering(妨碍) your chances at developing yourself because you're more focused on ‘Oh，I wish they'd shut up.Oh，what do they think of me？’instead of focusing on what's the homework or what's going on in this class，what's the lesson.”

(2012年山东卷)One of the greatest contributors to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its most unusual.In 1879，Oxford University in England asked Prof.James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language.It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations(引文) showing how it was used.
This was a huge task，so Murray had to find volunteers from Britain，the United States，and the British colonies to search every newspaper，magazine，and book ever written in English.Hundreds of volunteers responded，including William Chester Minor.Dr. Minor was an American surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England.He gave his address as “Broadmoor，Crowthorne，Berkshire，” 50 miles from Oxford.
Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray.Over the next 17 years，he became one of the staff's most valued contributors.
But he was also a mystery.In spite of many invitations，he would always decline to visit Oxford.So in 1897，Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself.When he arrived，he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum(精神病院) for the Criminally Insane.
Murray and Minor became friends，sharing their love of words.Minor continued contributing to the dictionary，sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years.Murray continued to visit Minor regularly，sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds.
In 1910，Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America.Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.
Minor died in 1920，seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed.The 12 volumes defined 414,825 words，and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient.

Ⅲ.阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。
By creating a distinctive username and reusing it on multiple websites，you may be giving online marketers and scammers a simple way to track you.Four researchers from The French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control (INRIA) studied over 10 million usernames－collected from public Google profiles，eBay accounts，and several other sources.They found that about half of the usernames used on one site could be linked to another online profile，potentially allowing marketers and scammers to build a more complex picture of the users.
“These results show that some users can be profiled just from their usernames，” says Claude Castelluccia，research director of the security and privacy research group at INRIA，and one of the authors of a paper on the work.“More specifically，a profiler could use usernames to identify all the profiles that belong to the same user，and then use all the information contained in these sites to profile the victim.”
Those who have more unique usernames are more likely to be attacked.The INRIA researchers have created a tool that can check how unique a username is，and thus how easily an attacker could use it to build a profile of a person.
Researchers are exploring ways that the traces of data that people leave on different websites could be combined and used to track them.A 2010 paper showed that the online groups to which people belonged could be used to infer their real identity in 42 percent of cases.
Building profiles of consumers using online information has already become a major industry for marketers as well as online criminals.
【语篇解读】 研究人员发现独特的用户名，尤其是在访问过不同的网站后，很容易成为网络市场营销人员和犯罪分子跟踪的目标。
36．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Look out for online criminals
B．Your username may betray you
C．Don't leave your traces online
D．A unique username is more attractive
解析：主旨大意题。本文是一篇研究报道，第一段第一句是本文的中心句，根据本句的内容可知B项“你的用户名可能会背叛你”最贴近文章内容。
答案：B
37．Online marketers may use your username to ________.
A．get a picture of yours
B．steal from your online account
C．get useful information about you
D．find out your interest or hobbies
解析：推理判断题。第一段最后一句提到市场营销人员可以根据搜集的信息对用户进行更为复杂的轮廓勾勒，再结合常识可推测网络市场营销人员可能会利用用户名来获取用户的有用信息。
答案：C
38．The main purpose of the passage is probably to ________.
A．warn us of the possible dangers of a unique username
B．tell us how to manage our online information
C．advise us on how to choose a proper username
D．tell us the importance of a username
解析：写作目的题。结合文章第一段的第一句和第三段提到的独特用户名存在的潜在危险以及最后一段中的内容可知本文旨在警告我们独特的用户名可能带来的危险。
答案：A
39．We can infer from the passage that ________.
A．it's hard to build a profile of a person from an online username
B．it's better to use a more complex username online
C．an online username has little to do with the real person
D．we'd better not use the same username on different sites
解析：推理判断题。倒数第二段第一句提到用户访问不同网站后的使用痕迹能够被联系起来并进行跟踪，由此可推断最好不要使用相同的用户名访问不同的网站。
答案：D
40．The underlined word “scammers” in Paragraph 1 most probably means ________.
A．friends B．criminals
C．victims D．salesmen
解析：猜测词义题。此处与最后一段后半部分中的内容相呼应，由此可推测独特的用户名会给网络市场营销人员和“罪犯”提供一条跟踪的捷径。

It was graduation day at the university where I worked a beautiful day quite unlike the first graduation I attended as a young professor.On that cold day years ago，as we watched the students walking into the hall，one of my colleagues turned to me and said，“Graduation will be one of the happiest and one of the saddest times of your life.”At my inquiry，he answered，“Because the students you have gotten to know have to leave.”
As years went by，my previous confusion about my colleague's words no longer existed.When I come across naughty students，I have to rethink why I chose to be a teacher.It obviously isn't the money.Once a former computer science student of mine called me，asking me if I wanted to have a change.He was working at Nintendo Corporation.His salary was higher than my current one，though I have more education and have worked for over a decade.With my programming skills，he said he could get me hired.I thanked him，but declined his kind offer.
A few days before this current graduation，while working on final grades，I found a note a student had slipped in with her homework.She thanked me for being her teacher and said the things she had learned in my class－not about math，but about life－would be things she would remember long after the math skills had faded away.As I finished reading，I remembered why I had become a teacher.
Now，on this sunny graduation day，as I again observed the sea of blue_hats_and_gowns，I did so with renewed dedication(奉献) and a deeper sense of satisfaction－I will always be grateful that I am a teacher.
20．Hearing his colleague's description of graduation for the first time，the author ________.
A．quite agreed with his colleague
B．thought it very funny
C．was very puzzled
D．was very sad
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段尾句“At my inquiry，he answered，‘Because the students you have gotten to know have to leave.’”及第二段首句“As years went by，my previous confusion about my colleague's words no longer existed.”可推断出答案。
答案：C
21．The computer science student called up the author because he ________.
A．wanted to inform the author of his present job
B．tried to persuade the author to work with him
C．wanted the author to share his joy and satisfaction
D．thought the author wasn't fit to be a teacher

答案：B

B．compare two different graduation ceremonies
C．talk about the meaning of graduation

(2012豫东、豫北联考)Powered by courage and determination，Felicity Aston,33，became the first person to ski alone across Antarctica on 15，Jan,2012.
Aston finished the 59-day trip almost exactly a century after Roald Amundsen first reached the South Pole in 1911.Aston crossed 1,084 miles from the Ross Ice Shelf to Hercules Inlet.
Aston，a freelance travel writer，and explorer，faced temperatures that averaged－25 degrees as she pulled two sleds across the ice and thick snow on her nearly two-month trip.The scariest moment came when her two lighters failed to work while she was in the Transantarctic Mountains.The lighters started working again at lower altitudes.
While early Antarctic explorers were cut off from the outside world，Aston's access to a satellite phone meant that friends and family could follow her online as she regularly tweeted(在Twitter上发微博)and made almost daily podcasts(播客)about her journey.An interactive map showed Aston's progress in real time.And while she skied，Aston listened to bands.
On New Year's Eve she noted that there would be no champagne.“No wine with me to toast the new year but treating myself to spoonfuls of the peanut butter，”Aston tweeted as the new year approached.
In Aston's last podcast，the emotional traveler recorded after she reached Hercules Inlet, “I seem to have got here in a rush or something and I don't really feel prepared for it，”said Aston.“It feels amazing to be finished and greatly sad that it's over at the same time.”
Weather permitting，Aston will return home today where she says she is looking forward to some“red wine and a hot shower”．
