Ⅰ.阅读理解
The new university hos ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pital in Trenton，which the Health Minister Victoria Culley has described as a “shining example” to hospitals all over the country，has been open now for over six months.Having heard several less than complimentary(赞美的) comments about the organization and efficiency of the place，I decided to see for myself.21*cnjy*com
In spite of arrivin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g early，I found that there were already long queues at the reception desks.While I was waiting，I looked around and had to admit that it is an impressive building：large and light with marble everywhere.Eventually my turn came and I presented my doctor’s letters to the receptionist，who informed me that I was in the X ray queue and I’d have to go to another queue and start again！I couldn’t believe it and asked her if it might be possible to give me an appointment card anyway without making me queue up again.She informed me it was no good arguing with her and I should have read the sign，an almost invisible piece of card saying “X rays” just in front of her where very few people can have seen it.No matter how hard I tried to persuade her，she wouldn’t give me an appointment card for a blood test，so I started queuing again and finally got the card at 8∶30！I then set off for the blood test room，following the nice new signs until they suddenly stopped and I realized that I was in a part of the hospital that hasn’t been finished yet！When I got to the door I saw a notice saying “Back in 10 minutes”．I sat down and waited for 30 minutes before a doctor appeared and told me to come in without，of course，apologizing for keeping me waiting.I asked him why I’d had to wait and he explained he’d had to help out in another ward which was understaffed as a result of a flu epidemic(流感) among the doctors!
I got out of the hospi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tal at 9∶45 am and breathed a sigh of relief.I’m now waiting for the results.
So，Mrs.Culley ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )，a far from rosy picture.Certainly the public should be under no illusions(错觉) that things have changed for the better.Perhaps you should visit the hospital as an anonymous outpatient(门诊病人) rather than a government minister if you really want to know what it’s like unless，as I suspect，you don’t actually care that much.
1．Why did the author go to the hospital
A．Because he was asked to investigate the hospital.
B．Because he wanted to find out the truth.
C．Because he wanted to prove it was a good hospital.【版权所有：21教育】
D．Because he had a flu and needed the doctor’s help.
2．What did the author find when he got to the hospital
A．There were no doctors at all.
B．Doctors were polite and patient to patients.
C．A lot of people were waiting in line.
D．There were nice new signs everywhere in the hospital.
3．What made the author stand in the wrong queue
A．The receptionist’s guidance.
B．His poor eyesight.
C．Other patients’ influence.
D．The unclear sign.
4．From the passage，we can infer that________.
A．the receptionist was very stubborn
B．the author’s request was not reasonable
C．the hospital was able to deal with any emergency
D．none of the doctors were on time for patients
5．The best title for the passage should be ________.
A．White Elephant or Shining Example
B．An Unforgettable Experience
C．A Good Lesson
D．An Annoying Receptionist

Michelle Obam ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a made a daring decision to return to the same designer who created her Inaugural(就职) Ball dress four years ago and the risk paid off.
The First Lady ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )looked extremely attractive in a thin，sweeping，and ruby coloured dress by designer Jason Wu.She teamed the dramatic gown with heels by Jimmy Choo and a diamond ring by Kimberly McDonald.
She surprised the f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ashion establishment by returning to a Wu design which had been custom made for her.
Four years a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )go at her first Inauguration Ball，Michelle shimmered in an off white，one shouldered floor length couture gown by the designer.
Wu，who was 26 at th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e time and had only been working in fashion for three years，saw his career take off after the First Lady’s surprise decision to wear one of his dresses.
He said at the time t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat he was unaware she had chosen the gown and had been watching at home on his couch and eating pizza when she appeared.
After her 2013 decis ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ion，Wu told Women’s Wear Daily，“Mrs Obama likes to keep her secrets.She fooled me again.”
Wu released a women’ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s clothing and accessories(装饰品) collection at Target last year and continues to be popular with the First Lady for official engagements.
The sleeveless，cross ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) halterneck dress with low cut back flattered 49 year old Michelle’s toned arms and neat waist.
It had been crea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ted especially for her by Wu and was a departure from the dark and plain colour tone she stuck to at earlier inauguration events.
Mrs Obama’s n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ew hairstyle—she had bangs cut in on her birthday last week—had been loosely tousled for the special night.21*cnjy*com

D．Mrs Obama h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ad straight forehead hair as her new hairstyle for the special night.
28．From the 6th and 7th paragraphs we know that________.
A．Wu didn’t know Mrs Obama had chosen his creation again

These are so ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )me of the new household inventions invented mostly by common people.Thus，a variety of new household items are invented every day，which help in a better functioning of household chores and in a more useful manner.

Food sometimes ge ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ts poisoned with harmful things.A person who eats such food can get an illness called food poisoning.Food poisoning is usually not serious，but some types are deadly.The symptoms of food poisoning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food.Fever is one of the most common symptoms.www.21-cn-jy.com
Certain micro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) organisms(微生物) cause most types of food poisoning.Bacteria and other micro organisms can poison eggs，meat，vegetables，and many other foods.After entering the bodies，these tiny living things release(释放) poisons that make people sick.
Some chemicals c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )an also cause food poisoning.They are often added to food while it is being grown，processed，or prepared.For example，many farmers spray chemicals on crops to kill weeds and insects.Some people may have a bad reaction to those chemicals when they eat the crops.
Some plants and animal ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s contain natural poisons that are harmful to people.These include certain kinds of seafood，grains，nuts，seeds，beans，and mushrooms.
When people handl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e food properly，the risk of food poisoning is very small.Micro organisms multiply rapidly in dirty places and in warm temperatures.This means that people should never touch food with dirty hands or put food on unwashed surfaces.Food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop micro organisms from growing.Meat needs to be cooked thoroughly to kill any dangerous micro organisms.People should also wash food covered with chemicals before eating it.Finally，people should not eat wild mushrooms or other foods that grow in the wild.Some of these foods may contain natural materials that are poisonous to humans.In addition，some types of fish can be poisonous.
Most people recove ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r from food poisoning after a few days of resting and drinking extra water.If people eat natural poisons，they must go to the hospital right away to have their stomachs emptied.

35 year old Feng Q ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iheng speed walks 20 laps around the Sun Yat sen Memorial Hall every night for physical health.One day，he saw a small pavilion newly established to the right of the memorial hall.He thought it a convenience store and walked over to buy water.The person in the store said with a smile that it was not a convenience store but the Asian Games City Volunteer Service Station at the Sun Yat sen Memorial Hall.Since then，Feng’s life has turned a new page because of the small pavilion—he became one of the first service station members.
Feng said that bein ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g the Asian Games volunteer really brought him an experience with the other side of life.He often recalls his first day as a volunteer when he helped a tourist take photos.“He saw me wearing the volunteer hat so he asked me to take photos for him.After that，he invited me to take a group photo with him.Later，he sent it to my mailbox.” Feng said although there are always many people visiting and taking photos at the memorial hall，he had never thought he would have anything to do with them before，let alone help them.However，he now sees passers by with different eyes and others also see him differently.He will help people in need and others will also ask him for help.The volunteer hat has given Feng the reason and responsibility to actively express his goodwill.Now，even though he does not wear the volunteer hat，he will also see passers by with kind and caring eyes.www-2-1-cnjy-com

Volunteering ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is of great benefits to both those in need and the society.Take Wenchuan Earthquake for example.When the earthquake struck Wenchuan，lots of volunteers played an active role in the quake hit areas.Without them，the people there wouldn’t have recovered from the disaster so soon and the reconstruction work wouldn’t have run so smoothly.
Besides，volunteering w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ould be beneficial to the volunteers themselves.Getting involved in volunteering，people can learn how to work well in a team，how to improve their interpersonal skills，all of which are vital for their work and life.21世纪教育网版权所有

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A popular saying g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oes，“Sticks and stones may break my bones，but words will never hurt me.” However，that’s not really true.Words have the power to build us up or tear us down.It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves—the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.2·1·c·n·j·y
We all talk to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) ourselves sometimes.We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it，though.In fact，we really shouldn’t be，because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.
This “self t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )alk” helps us motivate ourselves，remember things，solve problems，and calm ourselves down.Be aware，though，that as much as 77% of self talk tends to be negative.So in order to stay positive，we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves.We should also be quick to give_ourselves_a_pat_on_the_back，The next time you finish a project，do well in a test，or finally clean your room，join me in saying “Good job！”
Often，words come out ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of our mouths without us thinking about the effects they will have.But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses to others.For example，when returning an item to a store，we might use warm，friendly language during the exchange.And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner.Or harsh and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.
Words possess powe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r because of their lasting effects.Many of us regret something we once said.And we remember unkind words said to us！Before speaking，we should always ask ourselves：Is it true？Is it loving？Is it needed？If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test，then it’s better left unsaid.
Words possess ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )power：both positive and negative.Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively.We can offer hope，build self esteem and motivate others to do their best.Negative words destroy all those things.Will we use our words to hurt or to heal？The choice is ours.
1．The author argues in the first paragraph that________. 21*cnjy*com
A．words will never hurt us at all
B．words have lasting effects on us
C．inspiring words give us confidence
D．negative words may let us down
2．Why should not we fe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )el embarrassed when it comes to talking to ourselves
A．Talking to ourselves is believed to be good for our health.21·cn·jy·com
B．Almost everybody has the habit of talking to oneself.
C．Talking to ourselves helps us to solve all the problems.
D．It is harmful to have “self talk” when we are alone.
3．The underlined phra ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )se “give ourselves a pat on the back” in Paragraph three means “________”．
A．blame ourselves
B．punish ourselves
C．talk to ourselves
D．praise ourselves
4．Which of the following statements would the author agree to 2-1-c-n-j-y
A．Unkind words are unlikely to be forgotten.
B．Positive words may destroy all the good relations.21教育名师原创作品
C．It is better to think twice before talking to others.
D．Kind words are sure to cause unfavorable response.
5．Why should we ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )talk in a friendly way when returning an item to a store
A．Because kind words destroy true relationships.
B．Because the clerk in a store is hard to deal with.
C．Because critical language may hurt your feelings.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
The Olympic medal c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eremonies have already begun.But some athletes hardly disguise their disappointment when silver and not gold is hung around their necks.The British judo silver medallist Neil Adams calls his two from the 1980s “loser’s medals”．
Until four years ago， ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )they were in a box at the back of a cupboard.His wife then had them framed for his 50th birthday and they are now up on the wall.
Adams feels pro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ud when he looks at them，but his thoughts quickly turn to “what ifs”．“I wouldn’t change much，” he adds.And he wouldn’t need to.Gold was within his grasp twice，but slipped away by a narrow margin on the judo mat.
“The losses at t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he Olympic Games were the most difficult thing for me to accept，” he said.“I didn’t win the silver medal.I lost the gold.In my mind they were losses.It has taken more than 30 years to get over it.”
Mark Cavendish，Jessica ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Ennis and Mo Farah have never won Olympic gold，but they came into London 2012 as three of Team GB’s biggest medal hopes.Unfortunately，Cavendish suffered disappointment in the cycling road race.Neil Adams was in that same position in both the 1980 and 1984 games.However，in a career in which he collected every other judo accolade，things simply went wrong at the Olympics.
In Moscow 1980，Ad ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ams was just 21 years old and became the media focus，he was under the pressure of expectation too much.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
Asked about being a fa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )vourite，Adams said，“It is hell，and about how you cope with it in the mind.It can make you afraid to win or lose and there is a difference.I was afraid to lose.Sometimes you freeze.Sometimes it takes you over.”
Adams says that he was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) very cautious and that when something was tactical and technical he approached it too tactically.Perhaps it’s better to go in with a ‘nothing to lose’ attitude.That might be the reason why the Olympic Games have often created surprise results.Sometimes it’s the ones who keep their cool and work the hardest who get the results.
1．The best title for the passage should be________.
A．Loser’s Medals
B．Olympic Medals
C．Two Silver Medals
D．Framed Medals
2．Where are Neil Adams’ silver medals now
A．Around his neck.
B．At the back of a cupboard.
C．In a box.
D．On the wall.
3．How long did Adams keep the medals in the box
A．More than 30 years.
B．More than 40 years.
C．More than 20 years.
D．No more than 20 years.
4．Adams always felt it a pity to win silver medals because________. 21*cnjy*com
A．he was narrowly beaten by the champion
B．he didn’t try his best
C．he lacked techniques
D．he was too greedy
5．What advice does the author give to other athletes 21教育名师原创作品
A．Try to become the media focus.
B．Keep their cool and work hard.
C．Try to do better next time.
D．Use as many techniques as possible.

Scientists find that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) hard working people live longer than average men and women.Career women are healthier than housewives.Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than the job holders.A study shows that whenever the employment rate increases by 1%，the death rate increases correspondingly(相应地) by 2%.All this comes down to one point：work is helpful to health.www-2-1-cnjy-com
Why is work good for h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ealth It is because work keeps people busy，away from loneliness.Researches show that people feel unhappy，worried and lonely when they have nothing to do.Instead，the happiest are those who are busy.Work serves as a bridge between man and reality.By work，people come into contact with each other.By collective activities，they find friendship and warmth.This is helpful to health.The loss of work means the loss of everything.It affects man spiritually and makes him likely to disease.【出处：21教育名师】

A
Loch Ness，the larg ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )est freshwater lake in the British Isles，is twenty four miles long and，at one point，one mile wide.It has an average depth of four hundred and fifty feet and at times drops close to a thousand.It is cold and murky(浑浊的)，with dangerous currents.In short，it is the perfect place to hide a monster from even the sharpest eyes of science.
The Loch Ness Monste ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r，also called Nessie，is supposedly living in this area.The earliest recorded sighting of the Loch Ness Monster was in the biography of Life of St.Columba by Adamnan in the year AD 565.The monster apparently attacked a man who was swimming in the River Ness.
The monster didn’ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t make headlines again until August 27,1930，when 3 fishermen reported seeing a creature with 20 feet long approaching their boat，throwing water in the air.In 1933，after a new road was built along the edge of the Loch，the number of reports rose suddenly.Early in 1934，Author Grant，a young student，was out on his motorcycle one evening when he almost ran into the monster as it crossed the road.Grant’s description of the thing—small head，long thin neck and tail with a big body，seemed to match the appearance of the plesiosaur(蛇颈龙)，an aquatic(水生的) type of dinosaur that has been extinct(已灭绝的) for 65 million years.
The Loch Ness Inv ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )estigation Bureau was formed in 1962 to act as a research organization for information about the creature.Even now，efforts have continued to find the monster.A great deal of information was discovered about the Loch，but they haven’t yet produced any specific evidence of a monster.
Skeptics(怀疑论者) ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) argue that the water in the Loch is too cold for a plesiosaur to live in.They also argue that an air breathing animal，like a whale or seal，would spend much more time on the surface than the creature seems to，and would be spotted more often.
Some scientists ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )have wondered if the sightings might be caused by an underwater wave which is known to sometimes occur in deep，long，and cold lakes，like Loch Ness.Such a wave might push debris(废弃物) to the surface that might look like a strange animal.
However，none of these is identified.
1．According to the skeptics，which of the following is TRUE
A．It is impossible for a monster to live in cold water.
B．The Loch Ness Monster often stays under the water.
C．The Loch Ness Monster is an air breathing animal.
D．There is no so called monster in Loch Ness.
2．The purpose of s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )etting up the Loch Ness Investigation Bureau is to________.

D．catch the Loch Ness Monster
3．Which of the fol ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lowing is the CORRECT order for the things that happened in the passage

A．Nessie is an aquatic type of dinosaur
B．Nessie has a 20 foot long body

The London Eye，wh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ich is 450 feet in height above the Thames River，is the world’s biggest spinning structure.It is one hundred feet taller than Big Ben，and weighs 1,600 tons.It was built to celebrate the year 2000.Maybe building such a big spinning structure suggested that people longed for bigger and better things in the future.2·1·c·n·j·y
Why did people thi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nk of building the London Eye？In fact it was inspired by great structures of the past like the very first observation wheel built for the Chicago World Expo of 1893.It’s twice the size of the wheel，but three times lighter，and much more comfortable.The London Eye is keeping natives and visitors entertained and awed (敬畏)．21·世纪*教育网

It was diffi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cult to assemble (安装) and put a wheel of this size.And it required new technology and a lot of imagination.The parts of London Eye were sent_up the Thames River，and the wheel was assembled on temporary (暂时的) platforms on the river.Lifting it into an upright position was a major challenge.It took a week to winch (吊) it up to its final position.
Now the Londo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n Eye is regarded as a monument to new millennium.And many visitors from all over the world come to visit it.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】

Perchlorate is an ingr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )edient in rocket fuel，ninety percent of which is produced for use by the U．S. Department of Defense and the NASA.It is extremely soluble(可溶的) and has been found in drinking water，food，groundwater，irrigation water，soil and breast milk.The EPA data shows that perchlorate is known to have contaminated nearly 153 public water systems in 26 states.
Perchlorate pr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )esents a risk to human health in the vulnerable population，including pregnant women and children，as it blocks the ability of the thyroid (甲状腺) to absorb iodine(碘)．More than 250,000 one year olds are exposed to perchlorate above the government’s safe does from food sources alone.This is equal to that of one in every 16 one year olds in the country.
Without a standa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rd our nation’s drinking water supplies will continue to be exposed to unnecessary risks.We must protect public health and drinking water supplies by establishing a national primary drinking water standard that is protective of the population.I am proud that we took a step in a right direction with the Subcommittee passage of H．R.1747，the Safe Drinking Water for Healthy Communities Act.H.R.1747 would require the EPA to regulate perchlorate levels in drinking water within 2.5 years.
1．We know from the passage that the author________.
A．is in charge of an agency
B．is a policymaker
C．supplies drinking water
D．shows that significant changes
2．What can we learn from the first paragraph
A．Perchlorate is bad for health.
B．Perchlorate is good for our body.
C．Perchlorate is helpful in purifying water.
D．Perchlorate is a must for drinking water.
3．Which of the follow ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing statements is NOT true according to the passage
A．Ninety percent of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) perchlorate is produced for use by the U．S.Department of Defense and the NASA.21世纪教育网版权所有
B．Perchlorate is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )an ingredient in rocket fuel and has been found in drinking water，food，etc.

D．Perchlorate seldo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )m blocks the ability of the thyroid to absorb iodine.
4．What does the last paragraph suggest
A．The country has not had a national primary drinking water standard.
B．The nation’s drinking water supplies are short.

“Children should no ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t be left unsupervised(无人监督的) to play with a dog.”say experts in this week’s British Medical Journal.Their advice is part of a review aimed at doctors who deal with dog bites.
“Dog bites a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nd maulings are a worldwide problem，particularly in children.”write Marina Morgan and John Palmer.Every year 250,000 people who have been bitten by dogs attend minor injuries and emergency units in the United Kingdom，and half of all children are reportedly bitten by dogs at some time，boys more than girls.
Accurate deat ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h figures are difficult to obtain，but in the past five years，two to three cases a year have made news headlines.
Based on the la ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )test medical evidence，they advise doctors how to examine and treat a patient presenting with a dog bite.They discuss the risk of infection and when to refer to specialist care.For travelers bitten abroad，they suggest assessing the risk of rabies(狂犬病)．
In terms of prev ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ention，they suggest that children should be taught to treat dogs with respect，avoid direct eye contact，and not tease them.They should be taught not to approach an unfamiliar dog；play with any dog unless under close supervision；run or scream in the presence of a dog；pet a dog without first letting it sniff you；or disturb a dog that is eating，sleeping，or caring for its babies.
“Dog owners also nee ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d to change their behavior，” says Rachel Besser，a children’s doctor and lifetime dog owner，in an article.
“It is clear that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )not all dog owners appreciate that children should not be left unsupervised with a dog，”she says.Just as some parents are obliged to take parenting classes，she would like to see compulsive classes for expectant dog owners to teach them about the responsibilities of dog ownership.Educational programs are also needed to teach children about some precautionary(预防的) behaviors around dogs.
Finally，she wo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uld like to see animal doctors advising dog owners about bite prevention，and doctors promoting bite prevention when treating patients who have been bitten by dogs.

Professor Barry W ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ellman of the University of Toronto in Canada has invented a term to describe the way many North Americans interact these days.The term is “networked individualism”．This concept is not easy to understand because the words seem to have opposite meanings.How can we be individuals and be networked at the same time？You need other people for networks.21*cnjy*com
Here is what Profess ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )or Wellman means.Before the invention of the Internet and email，our social networks involved live interactions with relatives，neighbors，and colleagues at work.Some of the interaction was by phone，but it was still voice to voice，person to person，in real time.
A recent research ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project showed that for a lot of people，electronic interaction through the computer has replaced this person to person interaction.However，a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say that’s a good thing.Why
In the past，many peop ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )le were worried that the Internet isolated us and caused us to spend too much time in the imaginary world of the computer.But the Pew study discovered that the opposite is true.The Internet connects us with more real people than expected—helpful people who can give advice on careers，medical problems，raising children，and choosing a school or college.Over 60 million Americans told Pew that the Internet plays an important role in helping them make major life decisions.
Thanks to the co ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mputer，“networked individuals” are able to be alone and together with other people—at the same time!
11．“Networked ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )individualism” is difficult to understand because________.
A．there are many kinds of networks
B．it is a new concept for readers
C．Professor Wellman didn’t explain
D．the words appear opposite in meaning
12．According to Professor Wellman，electronic interaction is________.
A．person to person B．voice to voice
C．on the telephone D．through the Internet
13．Which of the following is NOT a real interaction
A．A friend calls you on the phone.
B．You get an email from your sister.
C．You have lunch with your customer.
D．A neighbor asks to borrow something.
14．The Pew study probably included________.
A．all North American adults
B．people all over the world
C．more than 60 million people
D．less than 60 million people
15．The Pew study confirmed that________.
A．it is possible to be alone and social at the same time【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
B．networked individualism is an incorrect concept
C．the Internet is the best place to get advice on careers
D．all the Internet users live in a make believe world
