A
Caught Twittering or on Facebook at work？ It’ll make you a better employee(雇员). An Australian study shows that surfing the Internet for fun during office hours increases productivity.
The University of Melbourne study showed that people who use the Internet for personal reasons at work are about 9 percent more productive than those who do not. Study author Brent Coker， from the department of management and marketing， said， “Workplace Internet leisure browsing(工作时的网络休闲)， or WILB， helped to sharpen workers’ concentration(集中员工注意力). ”“People need to zone out for a bit to get back their concentration， ” Coker said on the university’s website(www. unimelb， edu. au/). “Short breaks， such as quick surf of the Internet， enable the mind to rest itself， leading to a higher total net concentration for a day’s work， and as a result， increased productivity，”he said. 21*cnjy*com
According to the study of 300 workers， 70 percent of people who use the Internet at work engage in WILB. Among the most popular WILB activities are searching for information about products， reading online news， playing online games and watching videos on YouTube.
“Firms spend millions on software to block their employees from watching videos， using social networking sites or shopping online under the pretence that it costs millions in lost productivity， ” said Coker. “That’s not always the case. ”
However， Coker said the study looked at people who browsed in moderation(适度浏览)， or were on the Internet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office. “Those who behave with Internet addiction(瘾)tendencies will have a lower productivity than those without， ”he said.
36. What does the passage mainly tell us？
A. What we should do with our leisure time.
B. How to surf the Internet for fun during office hours.
C. Why we should surf the Internet for fun during office hours.
D. Surfing the Internet for fun during office hours can increase productivity.
37. Why can surfing the Internet for fun during office hours increase productivity？
A. Workers are tired of work and want to rest.
B. Workers can learn some work skills on the Internet.
C. It makes people relax and have enough energy to do a day’s work.
D. It contributes to improving the relations between bosses and workers.
38. All the following statements are true EXCEPT＿＿.
A. the research was made by the University of Melbourne
B. most firms allow their employees to use the Internet for fun during office hours
C. most people who receive the research surf the Internet for fun
D. popular WILB activities are watching videos， shopping online and so on
39. From the passage we can know that ＿＿＿.

B. Brent Coker is a successful boss who can accept the research results
C. surfing the Internet long hours for fun won’t contribute to increasing productivity
D. the more time you spend on the Internet， the higher productivity you can get

A. Work and life.
B. Health and diet.
C. Advertisements.
D. Science and technology.
B
“In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight. ”
“Two full inches in the first three days！”
These are the kinds of statements used in magazine， newspaper， radio and television ads， promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device. The promoters of products say they can shape the legs， slim the face， smooth wrinkles， or in some other way to add to beauty or desirability.
Often such products are nothing more than moneymaking things for their promoters. The results they produce are questionable， and some are dangerous to health.
To understand how these products can be legally
promoted to the public， it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation. If the product is a drug， FDA (Food and Drug Administration)can require proof (证明)under the Food， Drug， and Cosmetic Act that is safe and effective before it is put on the market. But if the product is a device， FDA has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness. If a product already on the market is a danger to health， FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily， or it can take legal action， including seizure(查封)of the product.
One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor， which had been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life.
Obviously， most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings(法律诉讼)， and new devices appear continually. Before buying， it is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.
41. It can be inferred that the ads mentioned in the text are ＿＿＿.
A. objective B. costly
C. unreliable D. illegal
42. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text？
A. The court is in charge of removing dangerous products.
B. New products are more likely to be questionable.
C. The production of a device must be approved by FDA.
D. The promoters usually just care about profits.
43. FDA can ask for the proof of safety and effectiveness of a product＿＿＿＿.
A. if it is a drug
B. if it is a device
C. if its consumers make complaints
D. if its distributors challenge FDA's authority
44. The Relaxacisor is mentioned as ＿＿＿.
A. a product which was designed to produce electricity
B. a product whose distributor was involved in a legal case
C. a successful advertisement of a beauty product
D. an example of a quality beauty product
45. The author intends to ＿＿＿＿.
A. make consumers aware of the promoters’ false promises
B. show the weakness of the law on product safety
C. give advice on how to keep young and beautiful
D. introduce the organization of FDA
C
I read an article in my local paper a while ago， and it really stuck with me. There was a couple in my neighbourhood whose house had been badly damaged in a hail(冰雹)storm we had earlier in the year. I remember it well and so did my car， as there were hailstones almost the size of baseballs.
Anyway I read this article a few months after the storm and learnt that this couple didn’t have insurance and had just bought their first home which they had been saving up for five years. They were a fairly young couple and unfortunately their home was badly damaged by the hail. Most of their house had been damaged， not only by the hail but also by a tree which had fallen on their house and destroyed a section of it. They didn’t have money to repair the house because all their money was used to buy the place， and they couldn’t move， as they couldn’t afford it.
Then one day just when they were thinking nothing would get better， they came home from work and found an envelope in their mail box. When they opened it they found＄100 with a message that said， “I have been driving past your house on my way to work for the last month， and you look like you need this more than I do， best of luck. ”
No name was left， and it was simply a random act of kindness.
This had led them to write to the local paper thanking the stranger. The article later caught the eye of some other companies who volunteered to cover the costs of repairs to the couple’s home. The story ended with the couple saying that they were really grateful and they would try to share the kindness with their neighbors， and they would keep an eye out
for their random hero.
I was really inspired by this story and it is the reason I try to do things for others every chance I get. It also proves the theory that one random act of kindness has the ability to change the world because it inspires others to help. And while it might not be the whole world， it’s a start and you never know someone reading this may be inspired to help someone else out today.
46. From the first paragraph we can infer that ＿＿＿.21·cn·jy·com
A. the couple was very poor
B. the author was warm-hearted
C. the article in the local paper was interesting
D. the author’s car was damaged in a hail storm
47. The second paragraph mainly describes ＿＿＿.
A. the author’s mercy towards the young couple
B. the current condition of the young couple
C. the condition of the damaged house
D. the repair work of the damaged house
48. What does the underlined word“this”in Paragraph 3 refer to？
A. The envelope.
B. The stranger’s help.
C. The ＄100 note.
D. The stranger’s courage.
49. Why did some companies volunteer to cover the costs of repairs to the couple’s house？
A. Because the couple was too poor to repair their house.
B. Because the companies were inspired by the stranger’s deed.
C. Because the companies were generous to help local people.
D. Because the couple wanted to thank the stranger.
50. What does the author really want to tell us？
A. A random act of kindness can change the world.
B. There are still a lot of warm-hearted people.
C. Never give up when you face difficulties.
D. Sometimes a disaster can bring a fortune.
D
Homemade Ice Cream in a Bag
Milk can become homemade ice cream in five minutes by using a bag！This homemade， creamy treat is a summertime delight for your kids and you alike.
What you’ll need:
1 tablespoon of sugar； 1/2 cup of milk； 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla (香草香精)； 6 tablespoons of rock salt； 1 small-sized plastic food storage bag； 1 gallon-sized plastic food storage bag； ice cubes.
How to make it:
·Fill the large bag half full of ice， and add the rock salt. Seal the bag.
·Put milk， vanilla， and sugar into the small bag， and seal it.
·Place the small bag inside the large one， and seal it again carefully.
·Shake until the mixture turns into ice cream， which takes about five minutes.
·Wipe the top of the small bag， and then open it carefully. Enjoy！
Tips:
1/2 cup of milk will make about one spoon of ice cream， so double the recipe if you want more. But don’t increase the amount more than that—a large amount might be too big for kids to pick up because the ice itself is heavy. Here’s another version of the homemade ice cream recipe from another parent: These are the homemade ice cream ingredients:
1/4 teaspoon of vanilla butter and nuts； 1 tablespoon of sugar； 1/2 cup of milk.
These are the other supplies:
Plastic sandwich bag； 12 salt pellets； 1 dish of ice； large plastic bag.
Put the ice cream ingredients in the small bag， and then put the bag， salt， and ice in the big bag. Hold the bag shut and move it around on the floor for about 5 minutes.
When I made ice cream at home last time， although the salt pellets didn’t really dissolve that well， I still got ice cream. It was not smooth ice cream， probably because of the low-fat milk. It was incredible that it could be ready in 5 minutes (not counting preparing the ingredients).
Next， I changed the recipe， using a tablespoon of cocoa， a tablespoon of sugar， and a cup of milk. It was a bit too chocolaty， but good！
51. The text is mainly aimed at＿＿＿.
A. kids B. parents
C. ice cream producers D. ice cream sellers
52. The underlined“that”in“Tips”section refers to ＿＿＿.
A. 1/2 cup of milk B. 1 cup of milk
C. 1 spoon of ice cream D. 2 spoons of ice cream
53. Which of the following things is NOT included in both recipes？
A. Sugar. B. Ice.
C. Plastic bag. D. Nuts.
54. According to the second recipe， which of the following steps is WRONG？
A. Put butter， nuts， sugar， milk in the small bag.
B. Put salt， ice and the small bag in the big bag.
C. Hold the big bag shut and move the bag around on the floor.
D. Mix the things in both bags together in a dish.
55. Which of the following statements about the author is TRUE？
A. He/She doesn’t agree with the first parent.
B. He/She doesn’t think five minutes is enough.
C. He/She doesn’t like cocoa.
D. He/She doesn’t think the chocolaty taste bad.
Ⅳ. 根据短文内容完成表格(共10小题；每小题1. 5分，满分15分)
Being a good neighbor matters—not only because it makes life more pleasant， but also because being a good neighbor is part of being a good person.
Being a good neighbor has a lot to do with respecting privacy. It’s often best to mind your own business， give neighbors a lot of space and try to sense when it’s appropriate to back off. But it’s just as important to know when the time is right to give a hand. Helping with physical work is one good way to establish trust. If your neighbor is going to be moving some heavy furniture， or needs help fixing something you know your way around， offer to help out. Once you’re getting familiar， this assistance can also extend to things like house-sitting or collecting the mail while your neighbor is away. If you have a close relationship with your neighbors， the day may come when you’re asked to take care of their kids. Should you accept， you’ll probably end up playing with and entertaining these children.
It should go without saying that pet owners need to care for their animals properly. This includes cleaning up after them. There are few things more annoying for neighbors than a dog that uses their lawns(草坪)as a toilet， or that barks endlessly while chained up in a backyard. Don’t mess around—be a kind and responsible pet owner.
There are times when a certain level of noise is fine and there are times when it isn’t—and it’s good to know the difference. Turn the music down a bit after sundown， and further reduce the volume as it gets toward 10 pm. It’s usually fine to throw an occasional loud party as long as the neighbors are invited or have been informed.

答案与解析
1. B 考查形容词辨析。universal普遍的，通用的。句意为“虽然世界上许多国家在教育体制上有一些不同，但教育却是通用的”。regular规则的，定期的；logical合逻辑的，合情理的；normal正常的。
2. B 句意为“和许多其他女人相比，她真的很幸运”。compared to常在句中作状语，表示“和……相比”，故选B。
3. B anyhow表示“无论如何，即使如此”。in fact实际上，so所以，otherwise否则，均不合题意。
4. C 句意为“在20世纪70年代，他在五十多岁时开始学习俄语”。in the 1970s=in the 1970’s表示“在20世纪70年代”，“in one’s＋数词复数”表示“在某人多少岁时”。
5. B 考查短语动词辨析。句意为“他试图不让老师注意到而溜走，但他很倒霉”。go with同意，与……相配；go against违背；go along进展；go over复习，浏览。
6. C his excited expression指“他激动的表情”； suggest此处作“暗示，表明”解，后用陈述语气，故选C。
7. C as后跟句子，with后跟短语，但B项中的pass out意为“死；出去；分发”等，意思不对。
8. D solve解决。另外“在某人的帮助下”用with the help of sb.来表达。
9. C signal sb. to do sth.示意某人做某事。句意为“当交通灯变绿时警察向孩子们做手势，让他们过马路”。由let/make sb. do sth.可排除选项A、B； call命令，不符合题意。
10. B deal with处理，对付。make use of利用；come up with提出；go through经历，遭受。
11. D 考查名词词义辨析。句意为“他证明了自己是一个真正的绅士，他的人格魅力在与他人合作时表现得最佳”。advantage优点，长处；appearance外表，外貌；qualification资格；character品质，性格。
12. B 表示“年龄变成、成为多少岁”时用turn。
13. C 考查词义辨析。句意为“当你找工作时，能流利地讲一门外语是一个极大的优势”。assistance帮助；chance机会，可能性；advantage优点，优势，有利条件；importance重要性。由题意可知C项为正确答案。
14. A such. . . that引导结果状语从句，意为“如此……以至于……”，that是连接词，在从句中不作任何成分。句意为“这个新故事以如此简单的英语写成，就连初学者都能读懂”。
15. A after all毕竟；as a result结果；in other words换句话说；as usual像往常一样。分析句意，after all符合上下文意思。
16. B 与后面的with构成搭配，即share sth. with sb. 表示“和某人分享某物”。此处表示老师将自己的一些想法和同学们分享。
17. D through指阳光“透过”窗户射进来。
18. A move . . . aside指老师将桌子上的东西挪到一边。brush aside刷掉，擦掉，sweep aside堆到一边，不予理会，pull aside把……拉向一边。
19. C surprised惊讶的；worried担心的；gentle温和的；strange奇怪的。只有C项符合语境，即她脸上带着温和的表情。
20. C 根据第一段最后一句话中的when the class was nearly over可知，这时候还没有下课，因此本题选C项。
21. B understanding指“理解，认知”。根据文章内容可知，老师要和学生分享自己对人生的认识，因此只有understanding符合语境。
22. D 我们每个人被带到世界上。
23. A 根据下文内容可知，此处表示：没有人知道什么时候这些美好的经历(上句所说的learn， share， love等)会结束，因此本题答案是A。
24. C end指“结束”。
25. A the way of意为“……的方式”。上帝用这种方式告诉我们必须好好地利用每一天。
26. D make the most of是固定词组，意思是“充分利用”。根据后文内容可知，老师是想告诉大家要好好享受每一天。
27. B water在这里是动词，意为“(眼睛)充满眼泪”。根据全文内容可知，老师说这番话是因为她突然失去了自己的丈夫，因此选B项符合语境。
28. A 老师要求所有学生答应她好好生活，积极地去发现生活中的美好。其他几个词显然不合语境。
29. B 要学会随时随地享受生活中的美好事物。
30. A 从别人家里飘出的烤面包味。
31. A 风吹树叶的沙沙声。
32. B appreciate表示“欣赏”，即欣赏生活中美好的事物。
33. C 根据上下文语境可知，听了老师的话后，所有学生都若有所思，沉默不语。
34. D 根据第一段中的the late afternoon，再结合此处语境可知，故事发生的时间是下午。
35. B 生活不是用我们呼吸的次数来衡量的。
36. D 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文是在介绍澳大利亚的一项研究。研究表明：上班时间开小差能提高工作效率。
37. C 细节理解题。文章第二段中提到：短时间的休息，如迅速浏览网页能让大脑得到放松，使人精力更加集中地完成一天的工作，从而提高工作效率，由此可知答案。
38. B 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“Firms spend millions on software to block their employees from watching videos， using social networking sites or shopping online...”可知答案。
39. C 推理判断题。最后一段中提到：该研究调查的是适度上网、总上网时间不到总工时20％的人，那些上网成瘾的人的工作效率自然要低于其他人，由此可推出答案。
40. A 推理判断题。本文谈论的是工作时间上网娱乐对工作效率的影响，所以应该出自工作与生活栏目。
41. C 推理判断题。文章提出许多媒体上的广告都含有虚假成分，夸大其词，而事实上广告中的产品往往不具有其所宣称的效果。文章第四段提到这些产品的效果是值得怀疑的，不可靠的甚至是危险的。objective客观的，不带偏见的；costly昂贵的，代价高的；unreliable不可靠的；illegal不合法的，违法的。
42. D 事实细节题。第四段第一句话说“通常这些产品对推销者来说只是挣钱的工具”，显然D项“推销者通常只关注利益”最符合文意。A项“法庭负责召回危险产品”错在这并非法庭的责任；B项“新产品更值得怀疑”在文中没有信息支持；C项“设备的生产必须经过食品与药品管理局的批准”错在并非设备的生产。
43. A 事实细节题。从文章第五段第二句话可知A项正确，如果是药物的生产，则必须向FDA证明其安全性和有效性。
44. B 事实细节题。文章倒数第二段提到的这个案例与上一段最后一句话紧密相连，对其进行举例说明，即如何采取法律措施，第三句话说FDA对the Relaxacisor的发行商采取了法律措施，责令其停止销售，所以答案为B， A项错在这不是一个用来发电的产品；C项中的successful明显错误；D项说这是一个优质美容产品的典范，错误。
45. A 主旨大意题。作者通过对一些虚假广告问题的分析，提醒消费者关注生产者对产品的不实宣传和虚假承诺，避免上当受骗，故A项最为恰当。
46. D 推理判断题。从文章第一段最后一句“I remember it well and so did my car…”可以推断出D项，其他选项没有推测的依据。
47. B 主旨大意题。文章第二段主要描述了年轻夫妇的房子遭受冰雹袭击后的一些情况，故选B。
48. C 文章结构题。根据文章语境，这里的this指的是陌生人给的那100美元。
49. B 推理判断题。从文章最后一段的“I was really inspired by this story and it is the reason I try to do things for others every chance I get. ”可以推断出这些公司也是受到陌生人善举的鼓舞而来帮助年轻夫妇的。
50. A 作者意图题。从文章最后一段可知作者写这篇文章主要是想告诉我们：一个偶然的善举能改变我们的世界。
51. B 推理判断题。根据第一段的“delight for your kids and you alike”可知B为正确答案。
52. B 文章结构题。前面提到“1/2 cup of milk”，后面提到“double the recipe"，因此that在这里指1杯牛奶。
53. D 细节理解题。D项只在第二个方法中存在。
54. D 细节理解题。文章倒数第三段介绍了第二种方法，只有D项描述错误。
55. D 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“It was a bit too chocolaty， but good！”可知D为正确答案。
56. Importance/Significance 57. quality/virtue
58. offering/providing/giving
59. develop/form/establish/build 60. responsibility
61. endless 62. level 63. sunset/dusk/sundown
64. reduced/lowered 65. occasionally/sometimes
One possible version:
The advantage of the Internet is that you can do anything that you want on the Internet when it is connected to the independent world such as downloading data， games， pictures， etc. But you have risk to find the bad persons when chatting in a chat room especially women. You can find the crime news in the newspapers. The news said they had many victims from chatting with unknown people. In conclusion， many people still use the Internet because it is useful and comfortable.

Ⅲ. 阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
A
This is our second trip and is an unusual experience. It was the first time we were able to take the dog on a motorcycle trip. In fact this became a ferry(摆渡)trip with some motorcycling. We had six ferry rides to get all the way through the tour. Including camp fees，ferry tickets and gas，the
whole four days cost only about＄300.
There were two highlights(亮点)of this route. One was Lund， the highway before Sechelt， which was very winding(蜿蜒的)and high up along the coastline. The other was the three Sunshine Coast ferries from south of Powell River to Horseshoe Bay and Gibson's Landing.
This is another route for people coming from the east who want a different way to get from Vancouver to Vancouver Island. If things worked out， you could probably make it in one day leaving from Horseshoe Bay in North Vancouver and ending up in Comox on Vancouver Island.
The dog is an experienced traveler. She has gone by plane， train and car in her cage. Leaving her at home is not a good choice since we have to find a dog sitter—she doesn’t like being in kennels(狗房)．We did a test run here on Salt Spring Island.
We put her in the cage which we had tied carefully to the trailer(拖车)of our motorcycle. After a 30-minute test run we found she was OK with no ill effects. We then proceeded and things went fine. Sometimes， when we stopped， we would find her asleep in the cage.
Next time we go up to Lund we may go to Desolation Sound. There is also a 180 km hiking path from Sechell to north of Lund.21cnjy.com
36. If everything goes smoothly， you may reach Comox from Horseshoe Bay in ________.
A. half a day B. one day
C. two days D. four days
37. According to the text， the dog________.
A. never slept on the motorcycle
B. was all right during the trip
C. preferred staying at home to traveling
D. was used to protect the author
38. The underlined word “proceeded” in Paragraph 4 can best be replaced by“________”．
A. went on B. came back
C. made plans D. gave up
39. Why does the author write the text？
A. To describe the beautiful sights in Vancouver.
B. To suggest different routes to Vancouver Island.
C. To tell us about his special traveling experience.
D. To give advice on how to look after pets when traveling.

Baseball was invented by Abner Doubleday in 1839 in Cooperstown， New York. But Doubleday had nothing to do with the game. American baseball has its nearest ancestry(祖先)in an English game called rounders， which， called town ball， was played in America in the 1800s. There are some differences
between rounders and American baseball. Printed rules for rounders have appeared since 1828.
How， then， was Doubleday said to be the inventor？ In 1907， a special baseball commission(委员会)had been set up to find an American “inventor”. They reached an agreement that Doubleday was its man， based only on a letter it had received from one Abner Graves. He said they had been schoolmates and he had been present at Cooperstown in 1839 when Doubleday designed baseball. But it's now known that no member of the commission ever met with Graves or had any communication with Graves.
It should be noted that Graves was five years old in 1839，15 years younger than Doubleday， who entered West Point at the time. Further， Doubleday later enjoyed a great military career(军事生涯)there. He left a large collection of letters and diaries. But none of them mentioned baseball—nor did the notice of his death in the New York Times. In fact， the Baseball Hall of Fame calls Alexander J. Cartwright， who was a founder of the New York Knickerbockers， the Father of Modern Baseball. If he and his teammates didn't invent the game， at least they helped give it a structure(结构)that can be recognized today.
But some untrue things die hard，and there's little doubt that the Doubleday story will remain a hit with future fans.
40. From the passage， we know that rounders________．
A. was named after town ball
B. was the same as American baseball
C. has a history of nearly 200 years
D. came from American baseball
41. Why was a special baseball commission set up in 1907？
A. To make some rules for American baseball.
B. To reach an agreement about rounders.
C. To find the American inventor of American baseball.
D. To do some research into a letter from one Abner Graves.
42. What do we learn from the last two paragraphs？
A. Doubleday had never been to West Point.
B. Cartwright got on well with Doubleday.
C. Graves was older than Doubleday.
D. Many people consider the Doubleday story true.
43. What is the purpose of the passage？
A. To tell a story to make people laugh.
B. To correct a popular wrong idea.
C. To explain the popularity of baseball.
D. To introduce the history of baseball.

In 1991，Jane Goodall began Roots and Shoots， a program that encourages young people to work to protect the earth. TFK Kid Reporter Chandler Schaak caught up with Goodall at a Roots and Shoots event at Zoo Boise， in Idaho.
Kai Neander， 15， digs saving the earth. As president of the Sequoia Park Zoo Roots and Shoots program， in California， he helped plant 564 trees. His group's goal is to plant I ， 000 trees by the end of the year. “Every little thing you do makes a difference，” he says.
Roots and Shoots encourages young people to volunteer in their communities (社区) to help protect animals and their natural homes. Jane Goodall started the program in 1991. She is best known for her study of chimpanzees at Gombe National Park， in Tanzania， East Africa. Today， there are more than 8，000 Roots and Shoots groups in nearly 100 countries.
“I came up with the idea for Roots and Shoots because I met so many young people who had lost hope，”Goodall told TFK. “This program teaches the youth that if they all get together， they can make a difference.”
Tara Adiseshan， a high school student， hopes to leave her mark on the natural world. She and other members of the Charlottesville Roots and Shoots Club，in Virginia， began a movement to save frogs. Tara worked with scientists at James Madison University， also in Virginia， to test a cure(解决方法)for a deadly plant that threatens(威胁)frogs.
Tara plans to give talks in local schools to raise awareness(意识)about the threat to frogs. She also invited a frog expert to speak at a nature park in her community.
“No matter how many problems we face，”Tara says，“there is still hope as long as kids like us continue to care.”【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】

President Barack Obama set out his plans for the nation on January 27. At the top of his to-do list: jobs for Americans，health care and education.
“Although we have our difficulties， our union is strong. We do not give up. We do not stop，”President Barack Obama told Americans in his State of the Union speech on January 27. Guests and government officials filled the hall of the House of Representatives(众议院)．
Obama looked back on his first year in office and explained his plan for the future. He dealt with important matters， including health care， the nation’s high unemployment， national security(安全)and education. Many times during the 70-minute speech，people in the hall clapped(拍手)their hands happily.
The U. S. law system requires the President to report regularly to government officials. Presidents see the speech as an opportunity to set their goals and encourage the nation.
The President devoted much of his speech to the plight of unemployed Americans.“Jobs must be our Number 1 focus in 2010，”he said.“People are out of work. They are hurting.”Obama also stressed the value of education.“The best way for people to lead a better life is a first-class education，”he told the nation.
Following the President’s speech， the other party always gets the chance to speak. Bob McDonnell， the new governor of Virginia， spoke for Republicans(共和党人). He agreed with many of Obama’s goals， but pointed out policy differences. He tried to persuade both parties to work together. The President had made the same point earlier in the evening. He promised to hold monthly meetings with members of both parties.“Let’s show the American people，”he said，“that we can do it together.”
48. It can be learned from the passage that Obama's speech on January 27________.
A. was mainly about his plan for the future
B. encouraged government officials
C. was given to seek foreign help
D. was actually boring
49. The underlined word“plight”in Para. 5 probably means________.
A. education B. safety
C. goal D. sadness
50. Which of the following things does Obama consider the most important in 2010？
A. Jobs. B. Health care.
C. Education. D. National security.
51. We can infer from the last paragraph that ________．
A. Republicans don’t agree with Obama’s goals
B. Bob McDonnell was not clear about the two parties’ policy differences
C. Obama will try to cooperate with the other party
D. Republicans thought it difficult for the two parties to work together

If you could see a movie of your life before you lived it， would you want to live it？ Probably not. The excitement of living is that you don't know what's coming.
Sure， it’s hard to see uncertainty(不确定)in such a positive(积极的)light when you’re out of work， or when you feel like you're failing. But uncertainty is really another word for opportunity.
When Allison graduated from Harvard，she had opportunities all over the place but had no idea what she wanted to do. She took a job in consulting(咨询)but she knew she wouldn’t stay there. She took the GRE and scored so high that she was able to increase her income by teaching students. Still， she didn’t think she wanted to go to graduate school. Allison knew she wasn’t doing what she wanted， but she didn’t know what she wanted.
She worried. All her friends were going to graduate school or starting their own businesses. She was lost and felt that she would never find anything out.
After six years， many of her friends who went directly to professional(职业的)school had crises(危机)when they graduated because they weren’t sure if they had picked the right profession. And Allison， by having a general plan in mind， got married， moved to the Midwest， and used her consulting experience to get a great job.
Allison realizes that her years spent being lost was actually just a period during which she was finding her way：time well spent， and time we must all take if we’re being honest with ourselves.
The only way to lead an interesting life is to face
uncertainty and make a choice. Otherwise your life is not your own—it is a path someone else has chosen. Moments of uncertainty are when you create your life， when you become who you are.
Uncertainty usually begins with a job hunt， but it doesn’t end there. Every new role we take on means another round of uncertainty. Instead of fearing it， here are some new ways to deal with uncertainty.
52. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that________.
A. being out of work is a sad thing
B. uncertainty is what makes life interesting
C. life in a film is more exciting than life in reality
D. opportunity never appears when we need it
53. What troubled Allison after graduation？
A. She couldn’t find a well-paid job.
B. She had no money to start a business.
C. She was not sure what to do.
D. She didn’t score high enough for graduate school.
54. How did Allison feel about her six years' working experience？
A. Doubtful. B. Sad.
C. Regretful. D. Satisfied.
55. What is most likely to be discussed in the following paragraph？
A. How to deal with uncertainty.
B. What role uncertainty plays in life.
C. Why people fear uncertainty.
D. Who is to blame for uncertainty.

1.D sound作“听起来”讲时为不及物动词，没有被动语态，后接名词时，常与like连用。
2.B 定语从句中表达的意思应为“我原以为”，故用一般过去时；而lose动作发生在thought之前，故用过去完成时。
3.D 该句中to是定语从句中与lent搭配的介词，其宾语是关系代词whom，空中要填入的部分是主句的谓语。
4.B deal with与how连用，what与do with连用。
5.D in my way表示“挡我的道，妨碍我的事”。
6.B 句意：董事会正在讨论目前经济形势中可利用的机会。本题实际考查take advantage of短语。
7.D 句意：许多人相信乔，对他评价很高，但就我个人而言，我认为他实际上不诚实。generally“一般地”；specially“特别地，专门地”；especially“尤其是”。
8.B 句意：我们疲惫不堪，行走艰难，但我们毕竟到家了。after all在此处表示“毕竟”之意。
9.C 由“他们正努力开发新的农作方法”可知，句子强调开发的过程。form“形成”，强调结果；make指“制作，制造”；perform指“表演，行动”，均不合题意。
10. B have been doing sth.为现在完成进行时结构，表示“一直在做某事”。此处意为“一直在雨中行走，导致现在浑身湿透”。
11. D 句意：我母亲来和我们一起住，这样我们就能在她年老的时候照看(watch over)她了。look over“检查，查看”；get over“克服”；take over“接管，接收”。
12. B 句意：希望学校的学生现在可以在电脑上阅读书籍，这些电脑是一家著名的公司捐赠( give away)的。give out“分发”；give back“归还”；give up“放弃”。
13. A 答语句意：这工作在某种程度上(in a way)做得不错。on the way“在路上，在途中”；by the way“顺便说说，顺便问一下”；in the way“妨碍，挡道”。
14. C 考查动词的时态和语态。句中的语境告诉我们“我淋了雨”，在这里动作发生在过去，而现在的结果是我的西装遭殃了，所以用现在完成时。my suit和ruin之间是被动关系，由此可以排除A、B两项。如果选D项，其句意就变成了“我的西装在我淋雨前就遭殃了”，在逻辑上讲不通，所以D项是错误的，故选C项。
15. A It couldn’t be better.“太好了(没有比这更好
的了)”。

A home computer not only helps children master the old ways of learning， but also opens up possibilities that simply aren’t available in traditional education. Some software， for example， allows kids to make decisions and see the results in different situations. The World Wide Web encourages young minds to move easily from link to link， topic to topic. The best software draws children into learning by making them curious—what if I click on this picture， drag this over here， visit that website？
Knowing how to use a computer also encourages a child’s confidence. Kids figure out quickly that computers are powerful， and mastering the machine makes them feel grown-up. In turn， feeling confident on a computer often translates to academic(学术的)confidence. Researchers have found that attitudes toward writing， for example， improve when students write on a computer.
Perhaps most importantly， computers can enrich family life. Forget the idea that computer kids are separated. Children like to use the computer with adults and other kids， asking questions and comparing results. “The Internet is a unique opportunity to bring resources home， ”notes Susan Haugland， PhD， Cape Girardeau， Mo. ， author of Computer and Young Children:A World of Discovery.
Although the benefits of computers are real， they have disadvantages， too. Kids can lose their way， wasting hours on mindless software of violent games. Just as parents have always helped children make good choices about everything from friends to food， books to TV， now we must make sure they get the best out of computers.

Like most people， you may have heard a lot about online banking but probably haven’t tried it yourself. You still pay your bills by mail much in the way your parents did， for you are probably afraid of not knowing how to deal with it. Actually， online banking isn’t out to change your money habits. 21世纪教育网版权所有
Instead， it uses today’s computer technology to give you the choice of by-passing the time- consuming， paper-based ways of traditional banking in order to pay your money more quickly and efficiently. The advantage of the Internet and the popularity of personal computers presented both an opportunity and a challenge for the banking industry. For years， financial(金融的)institutions have used powerful computer networks to automate(自动操作)millions of daily transactions(业务)．Now that their customers are connected to the Internet from personal computers， banks begin to expect similar economic advantages by adapting(采用)those same internal electronic processes to home use.
Today， most large national banks， many regional banks and even smaller banks and credit unions offer some form of online banking， variously known as PC banking， home banking， electronic banking or Internet banking. Online banks are sometimes referred to as brick-to-click banks. The challenge for the banking industry has been to design this new service channel in such a way that its customers will readily learn to use and trust it. Most of the large banks can now offer fully secure， fully functional online banking for free or for a small fee. As more banks succeed online and more customers use their sites， fully functional online banking likely will become as common as automated teller machines (ATM)．
Online banking has a lot of advantages. Unlike your corner bank， online banking sites never close； they’re available 24 hours a day， seven days a week， and they’re only a mouse click away. If you're out of state or even out of the country when a money problem rises， you can log on instantly to your online bank and take care of business. Online bank sites generally execute(执行)and confirm transactions at or quicker than ATM processing speeds. Many online banking sites now offer advanced tools， including account aggregation， stock quotes， and portfolio managing programmes to help you manage all of your assets(财产)more effectively.

A. but all consumers still prefer to pay their bills by mail
B. and it will take the place of automated teller machines

Laptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes， in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today， laptops also connect students to their classrooms.
Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer programme that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years， each of the 1， 500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a ＄10 million computer programme at Westlake， a 110- year-old college.
