Shoulders of Giants是2009年国际天文年主题曲。歌曲唱出了人类探索星空的历史。从伽利略400年前第一次把望远镜指向天空开始，从哥白尼提出日心说却被教会处死开始……天空变得不再那么神秘，同时也有更多的东西等着我们去探索。
Shoulders of Giants
It was a calm and cloudless night but it was all still a blur①
A shaking of our Universe was just about to occur
It was Summertime...1609
when Galileo used his telescope for the very first time
and he saw mountains and craters on the moon
and a Milky Way with thousands of stars
and he saw Jupiter, with four tiny moons
he was the only man on Earth that night who knew
That Copernicus was right
come outside with me tonight
and I can show you wonders of the world
to surprise and delight
I’ve got my telescope with me
just wait until you see
that on the Shoulders of Giants...
... we’ll see beyond！
The world turns round and round now around 400 years have flown
since Galileo’s telescope first focused the unknown
Now we use bigger glass to peer② into the past
And we’re discovering the Universe’s secrets at last
And there are geysers③ on Saturn’s icy moon
and planets circling hundreds of stars
while all the Universe expands like a balloon
from Galileo’s tiny scope we’ve come so far
Galileo was right
when he looked out in the night
and he discovered wonders of the world
to surprise and delight
I’ve got my telescope with me
just wait until you see
we’ll stand on the Shoulders of Giants...
And every step follows the one before
and opens up a new frontier④ to explore
our ’scopes are dancing in space to see the beauty and grace
Oh, Galileo would approve, that’s for sure
...
巨人的肩膀
那是一个无风晴朗的夜晚
我们对宇宙的懵懂认识，从此地覆天翻
那是一个夏天，在1609年
伽利略第一次用他的望远镜，向天空对准焦点
他看到月球上有许多环形山
还看到银河繁星万万千千
又看到四颗卫星绕着木星转
那夜只有他明白
哥白尼的理论无可争辩
今晚和我一起来吧
让我带你看世界的奇观
令人欣喜，令人惊叹
我已带上了望远镜
只等你来看
在巨人之肩
我们将看得更加辽远
地球依然运行，绕太阳一圈又一圈
自从伽利略开拓鸿蒙，光阴已过去了四百年
如今我们用更大的望远镜，洞察过去
宇宙的无穷奥秘正在不停地被发现
冰封的土星卫星上居然有喷泉
众星围绕数以百计的恒星运转
宇宙像气球，在膨胀和延展
回望伽利略的视域，我们已经走得很远
伽利略说得没有错
当他在星空下探索
发现了宇宙的壮观
令人欣喜，令人惊叹
我已带上了望远镜
就等你来看
我们将站在巨人之肩
沿着先贤的足迹
开拓新的视野前沿
为了目睹美丽和优雅，镜头的视野在天空舞旋
噢，伽利略也会做此承诺

Spend, Spend, Spend
Many of us in developed societies are trapped in① a spending circle. We work hard so that we can earn more money②.When we have more money, we spend more and because we spend more, we have to work even harder. Sometimes we try to deposit③ a little or change our money into④ different countries’ currencies⑤ in the hope that we can make even more money⑥. But strangely enough, the more money we earn, the less often we see it⑦. Instead, we start putting our signatures⑧ on credit cards⑨ and spending money we don’t even have. Besides, we’re all taxpayers so the more we earn the more tax we have to pay to those who govern⑩ us. Thus, the circle goes round and round and gets more and more complicated?.
In this spending circle, on the one hand?， we accumulate? possessions but never feel like we have enough. On the other hand, we work towards the ownership? of bigger and better houses and cars and never have time to enjoy them. Instead, they feel like a burden? because every month we have to hand over? most of the money we earn? to pay for them. And the result of all this? Not increased happiness, but stress and less free time to be ourselves and enjoy being with our friends and families.

花钱，花钱，花钱
在发达社会，我们中的很多人陷入了一种消费怪圈中。我们努力工作挣更多的钱，我们挣得越多，花得就越多。由于花钱更多，我们又要加倍努力工作。有时，我们试着储蓄一些钱或者将钱兑换成不同国家的货币，希望能够赚更多的钱。但是很奇怪，我们挣的钱越多，见到钱的次数会越少。相反，我们开始在信用卡上签名，花我们甚至还不曾拥有的钱。除此之外，我们都是纳税人，因此我们挣的钱越多，就要向政府交更多的税。就这样，这个怪圈不断地循环着，变得越来越复杂。
在这个消费怪圈里，一方面，我们积累财富，但从不感到满足。另一方面，我们努力工作想拥有更大更好的房子、汽车，但是却没有时间享用它们，相反，它们好像成了一种负担，因为我们每个月都不得不拿出我们挣的大部分钱来支付它们。而这一切的结果呢？(结果)不是快乐增加了，而是压力增加了，独处和享受与朋友、家人相处的自由支配时间更少了。
Surely we’re still better off? than those who wear rags and sleep on the streets or in vacant? buildings?， but there is a growing resistance( to this consumer society which is especially affecting( the youth of today with their computers, i-pods, designer clothes and mobile phones(. Protest( groups are insisting that some of our money be given to the third world(. Trade unions demand that the government shorten( the working week. They are also suggesting that people should share work and thus reduce( unemployment.If laws such as these came into being(, a huge adjustment( would be required and there would certainly be diverse( reactions. But many feel it would be worth it(.
As a society, it’s high time that we took these issues more seriously(. We should insist that advertising is more controlled, especially advertising aimed at children(. We should also make sure that there are better ways for young people to use their free time apart from( spending money(. On a personal level, we ought to visit the shops less and worry less about image.Above all(, we should remember that “being” and “doing” are much more important than “having”．

?此处who引导定语从句，修饰those。
resistance [rI'z?st?ns] n．反抗， 抵制
affect vt.影响
此处的which引导定语从句，修饰society。
protest n．抗议；反对
insist表示“坚决主张”时，其后的宾语从句用虚拟语气，即should＋do, should可省略。后面的demand和suggesting用法与此相同。
shorten vt.使缩短
reduce vt.减少
come into being形成，存在
adjustment [?'d??stm?nt] n．调整，调节；make an adjustment作出调整
diverse [daI'v??s] adj.各种各样的；diversity n．多样性

此处是It’s high time that...句型，that从句中用一般过去时，意为：早该做某事了。
take sth. seriously 重视某事
aim at 旨在……，针对……；此处是过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰advertising。
apart from除了
that 在此处引导宾语从句。
above all 最重要的是
当然，我们仍旧比那些穿着破烂衣服，睡在街上或者空置的大楼里的人生活得要好得多。但是现在的年轻人特别容易受到电脑、i-pod、名牌服饰和移动电话的影响，所以越来越多的人开始抵制这种消费社会。反对团体坚持我们的一些钱应该支援第三世界(国家)。工会要求政府缩短每周工作时间，他们还建议人们应该分享工作来减少失业。如果产生了类似这样的法律，那么生活就要做很多调整，反响肯定是各种各样的。但是很多人觉得这是值得的。
作为整个社会，现在是该我们更加认真对待这些问题的时候了。我们应该坚持对广告采取更多的控制，尤其是控制那些针对儿童的广告。我们还应该确保，除了花钱以外，年轻人有更好的方式来打发他们的业余时间。从个人角度来说，我们应该少逛商店，不要那么在意自己的形象。最重要的是，我们应该记住“做人”和“做事”比“拥有”重要得多。

I still clearly remember that day. I was on the side of the road for about four hours with my big jeep. I put signs in the windows that said，“Need a jack(千斤顶)．”
As I was about to give up, a truck stopped and a man got off. He looked at the situation, made a judgment and went back to take a jack. After about two hours, we finished the job with sweats. We were both dirty. His wife took a large bottle of water for us to wash our hands.
I tried to put $20 in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so I went to give it to his wife quietly. I asked their little girl where they lived. She said they lived in Mexico. They were in Oregon now, so Mommy and Daddy could pick cherries for the next few weeks. After that, they were going to pick peaches and then go home.
After I said goodbye and started going back to my jeep, the girl ran to me and handed me a tamale(玉米粽子) for lunch. I thanked them again and walked back to my jeep. When I opened the tamale, what did I find inside? My $20! I ran to the truck and the guy rolled down his window. He started shaking his head, smiled and said in English“Today you, tomorrow me.” Then he drove away, with his daughter waving to me from the back.
This family, working on a seasonal basis where time is money, took a couple of hours to help a stranger while others passed by quietly.
Since then I’ve helped many people like the Mexican family. I didn’t accept their money. Every time I was able to help, I felt as if I was putting something in the bank.

B 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段的I was on the side of the road for about four hours with my big jeep. I put signs in the windows that said，“Need a jack(千斤顶)．”可知，作者的车坏了。
5．Why did the author hand the money quietly to the man’s wife?

B．Because the Mexican man’s wife needn’t wash her hands.
C．Because the Mexican man was busy washing his hands.

Texting walkers aren’t just an annoyance to other walkers, Australian researchers armed with movie special-effects technology have determined scientifically that they’re threats to themselves.Using motion-capture technology similar to that used for films, researchers concluded that texting while walking not only affects balance but also the ability to walk in straight line.
“Some people like checking emails while walking to work in the morning，” said the study co-author Hoorn, “but they may not know it has a serious effect on the safety of themselves.” Other facts have also proved this. A tourist from Taiwan walked off a pier near Melbourne last month while checking Facebook, bringing a sudden and icy end to a penguin-watching visit. Another person who was too wrapped up in his phone to notice dangers walked straight into the fountain in front of a shopping mall.
The Australian study involved 27 volunteers, a third of whom admitted having knocked into objects while texting. They were asked to walk 8.5 meters three times—once without phones, once while reading text and once while writing text, when eight cameras recorded their actions.
They found the volunteers using the phone walked slower, and, more seriously, they locked their arms and elbows in like “robots”， which forced their heads to move more, throwing themselves off balance. “In a pedestrian(步行的) environment, inability to maintain a straight path would be likely to increase potential for traffic accidents，” said Mr. Hoorn. “The best thing to do is to step aside and stop, or keep off the phone.”
Authorities world-wide have taken note. Signs on Hong Kong’s subway system advise passengers in three languages to keep their eyes off their phones. Police and transport authorities have highlighted the danger in Singapore, where the Straits Times newspaper recently declared cellphone-distracted road crossing as “bad habit No. 2” contributing to the rising number of road deaths. Some U．S.states, including New York and Arkansas, are considering bans on what they’re calling phone jaywalking.
【解题导语】 短信是人们平时交流的方式，但是走路的时候发短信，往往会带来一系列交通安全问题。所以有些国家为了避免交通安全事故的发生，就走路发短信进行了立法。
8．According to the passage, people texting while walking usually ．
A．do not influence other walkers
B．do harm to their eyes
C．put themselves in danger
D．can still walk straight
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的Some people like checking emails while walking to...have also proved this.可知，一边走路一边编辑短信对人们的安全有影响，会使人处于危险之中。
9．Which of the following words has the closest meaning to “wrapped up” in Paragraph 2?
A．absent-minded B．annoyed
C．confused D．absorbed
D 解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段中的Another person who was too wrapped up in his phone to notice dangers walked straight into the fountain in front of a shopping mall.可知，这个人径直走进了购物中心前的喷泉中，由此可知他太专注于自己的手机而没有注意到危险。
10．About the Australian study, we know that ．
A．the volunteers using phones while walking moved normally
B．ten volunteers admitted having bumped into things while texting
C．the volunteers were divided into three groups during the study
D．texting walkers are exposed to greater possibility of traffic accidents
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段的In a pedestrian(步行的) environment, inability to maintain a straight path would be likely to increase potential for traffic accidents可知，边走路边编辑短信使步行者不能直线行走，增加了他们遭遇交通事故的可能性。
11．The last paragraph suggests that ．
A．actions have been taken against texting while walking
B．Hong Kong’s subway system forbids texting walkers to take the train
C．New York has made laws to ban phone jaywalking
D．cellphone-distracted road crossing is considered the worst habit in Singapore
A 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Authorities world-wide have taken note. Signs on Hong Kong’s subway system advise passengers in three languages to keep their eyes off their phones.可知，很多地方已经针对这种现象采取了行动。

Laurie Ann Eldridge was a 39-year-old single mom.She was working on her front yard garden when she noticed something strange—her flowers were blooming early.1. In the car was an elderly woman named Angeline Pascucci who was on her way to the mall 60 miles away.
At the same moment that Eldridge noticed Pascucci got stuck on the track, she heard the unmistakable sound of a train drawing near.Suddenly, this peaceful gardening moment became a common scene in a terrible action movie.Because of the turn in the track, the engineer of the train couldn’t see the car stuck on the rails, and Pascucci obviously couldn’t save herself at that second.2.
It’s important to know that Eldridge had a disabling back injury and hadn’t run in 10 years, but she was sure that she didn’t have enough time to walk to Pascucci.3. When Pascucci saw Eldridge, she was so frightened that she thought Eldridge wouldn’t move her slightly out of the soon-to-be destroyed car.
4． Eldridge had to reach through the car window, unlock the door, and move the old lady out of her car.The two rolled down an embankment(路堤) like mismatched lovers in a romantic comedy.
The train came by soon after and slammed(猛撞) the car off the tracks.5. Eldridge, on the other hand, would later receive a Carnegie Hero Fund Award for her heroism and patience with the elderly.
A．So Eldridge ran.
B．What happened next was more thrilling.
C．Unfortunately, Pascucci was injured badly.
D．Pascucci was unhurt and grateful to Eldridge.
E．Eldridge was too frightened to know what to do next.
F．Also, there was a car stuck on the railroad track near her house.
G．The only person who knew a terrible tragedy was about to happen was Eldridge.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了一个单身妈妈营救一个即将被火车撞到的车主的故事。
1．F 解析：此空设于段中，与前一句形成递进关系，介绍Eldridge发现的第二个异常之处。
2．G 解析：前文讲火车司机看不到汽车，Pascucci也无法自救，G项意为唯一知道灾难要发生的人就是Eldridge，符合语境。
3．A 解析：此空设于段中，与前一句形成因果关系，介绍Eldridge跑着去营救Pascucci的事情。
4．B 解析：此空设于段首，是一个总结句，介绍Eldridge如何帮助Pascucci摆脱危险。
5．D 解析：此空设于段中，承上启下，介绍这一危急事件的结果。B卷[学生用书P127(单独成册)]

In the old days, you had to go looking for horror.Now, you can just wake up and glance at any social media site, and a large group of it will be waiting for you.That’s where Google Chrome extension(扩展程序) Sadblock comes in.It helps you out by cleaning up sad and very annoying news from your social media feeds.
Sadblock will help you take back control of your social feeds, according to the extension’s website.It does this by allowing you to block(拦截) certain types of posts from your social media.Current categories include sad stories, political posts, climate change posts, and those that include common words related to these categories.Sadblock’s range allows you to block upsetting political content, or videos of abused animals, or stories about certain stars.You can download Sadblock for free from the Chrome Web Store.
The extension’s multi-site approach appears to be a step up from other blockers, most of which exist for one service only and require you to add in your own blacklisted keywords.For example, Tumblr Savior allows users to block their feed, but users must add words they want to see blocked by hand, like“death”．Basically, Sadblock is intended to help people take a mental break away from the constant arrival of horrible information.It’s not intended to help people ignore reality.
Psychologist Dr.Graham Davey said that negative news can significantly change an individual’s mood.Viewing negative news means that you’re likely to see your own personal worries as being more threatening and serious, and when you do start worrying about them, you’re more likely to find your worries difficult to control.
Sadblock does reduce what you see that’s troubling.And though the extension is imperfect, it’s important to recognize that Sadblock is still an incredibly useful tool for people who need to continue to engage with social media for work or companionship and want to protect their mental health while doing so.
【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了一个屏蔽负面信息的程序Sadblock的功能、作用和前景。
1．What is the main fun_ction of Sadblock?
A．To update particular posts.
B．To help find horrible news.
C．To control your social media.

2．Sadblock is special compared with other blockers because ．
A．it can only be used once
B．it helps users to ignore reality
C．it is available on many websites
D．it needs to add keywords by hand
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段The extension’s multi-site approach appears to be a step up from other blockers可知，与其他同类产品相比，Sadblock的特别之处在于它可以应用于许多网站。
3．We can learn from Dr.Davey’s words that viewing negative news ．
A．is of no significance
B．can be mentally harmful
C．makes people become kinder
D．is a habit that is hard to control
B 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段Viewing negative news means that you’re likely to see your own personal worries as...difficult to control.可知， 负面信息有害心理健康。
4．What is the author’s attitude towards Sadblock?
A．Negative. B．Favorable.
C．Indifferent. D．Uncertain.
B 解析：观点态度题。根据最后一段it’s important to recognize that Sadblock is still an incredibly useful tool for people可知， 本文作者对Sadblock这个程序持赞赏态度。

I still clearly remember that day. I was on the side of the road for about four hours with my big jeep. I put signs in the windows that said，“Need a jack(千斤顶)．”
As I was about to give up, a truck stopped and a man got off. He looked at the situation, made a judgment and went back to take a jack. After about two hours, we finished the job with sweats. We were both dirty. His wife took a large bottle of water for us to wash our hands.
I tried to put $20 in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so I went to give it to his wife quietly. I asked their little girl where they lived. She said they lived in Mexico. They were in Oregon now, so Mommy and Daddy could pick cherries for the next few weeks. After that, they were going to pick peaches and then go home.
After I said goodbye and started going back to my jeep, the girl ran to me and handed me a tamale(玉米粽子) for lunch. I thanked them again and walked back to my jeep. When I opened the tamale, what did I find inside? My $20! I ran to the truck and the guy rolled down his window. He started shaking his head, smiled and said in English“Today you, tomorrow me.” Then he drove away, with his daughter waving to me from the back.
This family, working on a seasonal basis where time is money, took a couple of hours to help a stranger while others passed by quietly.
Since then I’ve helped many people like the Mexican family. I didn’t accept their money. Every time I was able to help, I felt as if I was putting something in the bank.

B 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段的I was on the side of the road for about four hours with my big jeep. I put signs in the windows that said，“Need a jack(千斤顶)．”可知，作者的车坏了。
5．Why did the author hand the money quietly to the man’s wife?
A．Because the Mexican man had refused to accept it.
B．Because the Mexican man’s wife needn’t wash her hands.
C．Because the Mexican man was busy washing his hands.
D．Because the Mexican man’s wife was in charge of money at their home.
A 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段的I tried to put $20 in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so I went to give it to his wife quietly. 可知，那个墨西哥男人不要作者的钱，所以作者想秘密地给那个男人的妻子。故选A项。
6．The Mexican man helped the author because he thought that ．
A．it was completely wrong for others to pass by quietly
B．it was quite easy to help the author repair the jeep
C．it was possible that everyone might get into trouble
D．the author was a polite stranger and deserved the help

Texting walkers aren’t just an annoyance to other walkers, Australian researchers armed with movie special-effects technology have determined scientifically that they’re threats to themselves.Using motion-capture technology similar to that used for films, researchers concluded that texting while walking not only affects balance but also the ability to walk in straight line.
“Some people like checking emails while walking to work in the morning，” said the study co-author Hoorn, “but they may not know it has a serious effect on the safety of themselves.” Other facts have also proved this. A tourist from Taiwan walked off a pier near Melbourne last month while checking Facebook, bringing a sudden and icy end to a penguin-watching visit. Another person who was too wrapped up in his phone to notice dangers walked straight into the fountain in front of a shopping mall.
The Australian study involved 27 volunteers, a third of whom admitted having knocked into objects while texting. They were asked to walk 8.5 meters three times—once without phones, once while reading text and once while writing text, when eight cameras recorded their actions.
They found the volunteers using the phone walked slower, and, more seriously, they locked their arms and elbows in like “robots”， which forced their heads to move more, throwing themselves off balance. “In a pedestrian(步行的) environment, inability to maintain a straight path would be likely to increase potential for traffic accidents，” said Mr. Hoorn. “The best thing to do is to step aside and stop, or keep off the phone.”
Authorities world-wide have taken note. Signs on Hong Kong’s subway system advise passengers in three languages to keep their eyes off their phones. Police and transport authorities have highlighted the danger in Singapore, where the Straits Times newspaper recently declared cellphone-distracted road crossing as “bad habit No. 2” contributing to the rising number of road deaths. Some U．S.states, including New York and Arkansas, are considering bans on what they’re calling phone jaywalking.
【解题导语】 短信是人们平时交流的方式，但是走路的时候发短信，往往会带来一系列交通安全问题。所以有些国家为了避免交通安全事故的发生，就走路发短信进行了立法。
8．According to the passage, people texting while walking usually ．
A．do not influence other walkers
B．do harm to their eyes
C．put themselves in danger
D．can still walk straight
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的Some people like checking emails while walking to...have also proved this.可知，一边走路一边编辑短信对人们的安全有影响，会使人处于危险之中。
9．Which of the following words has the closest meaning to “wrapped up” in Paragraph 2?
A．absent-minded B．annoyed
C．confused D．absorbed
D 解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段中的Another person who was too wrapped up in his phone to notice dangers walked straight into the fountain in front of a shopping mall.可知，这个人径直走进了购物中心前的喷泉中，由此可知他太专注于自己的手机而没有注意到危险。
10．About the Australian study, we know that ．
A．the volunteers using phones while walking moved normally
B．ten volunteers admitted having bumped into things while texting
C．the volunteers were divided into three groups during the study
D．texting walkers are exposed to greater possibility of traffic accidents
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段的In a pedestrian(步行的) environment, inability to maintain a straight path would be likely to increase potential for traffic accidents可知，边走路边编辑短信使步行者不能直线行走，增加了他们遭遇交通事故的可能性。
11．The last paragraph suggests that ．
A．actions have been taken against texting while walking
B．Hong Kong’s subway system forbids texting walkers to take the train
C．New York has made laws to ban phone jaywalking
D．cellphone-distracted road crossing is considered the worst habit in Singapore
A 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Authorities world-wide have taken note. Signs on Hong Kong’s subway system advise passengers in three languages to keep their eyes off their phones.可知，很多地方已经针对这种现象采取了行动。
七选五
Laurie Ann Eldridge was a 39-year-old single mom.She was working on her front yard garden when she noticed something strange—her flowers were blooming early.1. In the car was an elderly woman named Angeline Pascucci who was on her way to the mall 60 miles away.
At the same moment that Eldridge noticed Pascucci got stuck on the track, she heard the unmistakable sound of a train drawing near.Suddenly, this peaceful gardening moment became a common scene in a terrible action movie.Because of the turn in the track, the engineer of the train couldn’t see the car stuck on the rails, and Pascucci obviously couldn’t save herself at that second.2.
It’s important to know that Eldridge had a disabling back injury and hadn’t run in 10 years, but she was sure that she didn’t have enough time to walk to Pascucci.3. When Pascucci saw Eldridge, she was so frightened that she thought Eldridge wouldn’t move her slightly out of the soon-to-be destroyed car.
4． Eldridge had to reach through the car window, unlock the door, and move the old lady out of her car.The two rolled down an embankment(路堤) like mismatched lovers in a romantic comedy.
The train came by soon after and slammed(猛撞) the car off the tracks.5. Eldridge, on the other hand, would later receive a Carnegie Hero Fund Award for her heroism and patience with the elderly.
A．So Eldridge ran.
B．What happened next was more thrilling.
C．Unfortunately, Pascucci was injured badly.
D．Pascucci was unhurt and grateful to Eldridge.
E．Eldridge was too frightened to know what to do next.
F．Also, there was a car stuck on the railroad track near her house.
G．The only person who knew a terrible tragedy was about to happen was Eldridge.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了一个单身妈妈营救一个即将被火车撞到的车主的故事。
1．F 解析：此空设于段中，与前一句形成递进关系，介绍Eldridge发现的第二个异常之处。
2．G 解析：前文讲火车司机看不到汽车，Pascucci也无法自救，G项意为唯一知道灾难要发生的人就是Eldridge，符合语境。
3．A 解析：此空设于段中，与前一句形成因果关系，介绍Eldridge跑着去营救Pascucci的事情。
4．B 解析：此空设于段首，是一个总结句，介绍Eldridge如何帮助Pascucci摆脱危险。
5．D 解析：此空设于段中，承上启下，介绍这一危急事件的结果。

In the old days, you had to go looking for horror.Now, you can just wake up and glance at any social media site, and a large group of it will be waiting for you.That’s where Google Chrome extension(扩展程序) Sadblock comes in.It helps you out by cleaning up sad and very annoying news from your social media feeds.
Sadblock will help you take back control of your social feeds, according to the extension’s website.It does this by allowing you to block(拦截) certain types of posts from your social media.Current categories include sad stories, political posts, climate change posts, and those that include common words related to these categories.Sadblock’s range allows you to block upsetting political content, or videos of abused animals, or stories about certain stars.You can download Sadblock for free from the Chrome Web Store.
The extension’s multi-site approach appears to be a step up from other blockers, most of which exist for one service only and require you to add in your own blacklisted keywords.For example, Tumblr Savior allows users to block their feed, but users must add words they want to see blocked by hand, like“death”．Basically, Sadblock is intended to help people take a mental break away from the constant arrival of horrible information.It’s not intended to help people ignore reality.
Psychologist Dr.Graham Davey said that negative news can significantly change an individual’s mood.Viewing negative news means that you’re likely to see your own personal worries as being more threatening and serious, and when you do start worrying about them, you’re more likely to find your worries difficult to control.
Sadblock does reduce what you see that’s troubling.And though the extension is imperfect, it’s important to recognize that Sadblock is still an incredibly useful tool for people who need to continue to engage with social media for work or companionship and want to protect their mental health while doing so.
【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了一个屏蔽负面信息的程序Sadblock的功能、作用和前景。
1．What is the main fun_ction of Sadblock?
A．To update particular posts.
B．To help find horrible news.
C．To control your social media.

2．Sadblock is special compared with other blockers because ．
A．it can only be used once
B．it helps users to ignore reality
C．it is available on many websites
D．it needs to add keywords by hand
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段The extension’s multi-site approach appears to be a step up from other blockers可知，与其他同类产品相比，Sadblock的特别之处在于它可以应用于许多网站。
3．We can learn from Dr.Davey’s words that viewing negative news ．
A．is of no significance
B．can be mentally harmful
C．makes people become kinder
D．is a habit that is hard to control
B 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段Viewing negative news means that you’re likely to see your own personal worries as...difficult to control.可知， 负面信息有害心理健康。
4．What is the author’s attitude towards Sadblock?
A．Negative. B．Favorable.
C．Indifferent. D．Uncertain.
B 解析：观点态度题。根据最后一段it’s important to recognize that Sadblock is still an incredibly useful tool for people可知， 本文作者对Sadblock这个程序持赞赏态度。

At a talk to some businessmen earlier today, one fellow asked me, “Would you give money to a homeless person, even when you know he’s going to use it to buy alcohol？” I replied, “If all was giving was money, it’ll be one thing. But for me, whenever I do give money, that’s just the wrapping.The real gift is hidden inside—it’s love. And I haven’t ever found any reason to limit gifts of love.”
By the end of the night, I decided to get some pizza. In front of me in line was a homeless-looking man. He was counting the few dollar bills in his hand, over and over again, until it was his turn to order. Just then, he told the young woman behind the counter, “I’ll have the full cheese pizza.” “Full？” she countered. “It’s really big.” she added, although what she really meant to say is that it’ll be too expensive for him. “Yeah, the full.” “$18.65，” she submitted. The bills he was counting weren’t going to make it. I wasn’t intending to get the whole pizza for him. But thinking back to my conversation with the business man, I realized that money was really just the wrapping.
I made my move. “Can you charge that pizza with my order？” I said to the cashier. “Really？” the homeless-looking man said. “Really？” the young woman behind the counter repeated. “Yes, really.” That disheveled(凌乱的) man and I had a sweet silent moment. To his silent question of why I was doing it, I added, “Just pay it forward for someone else.” And he said, “Well, you know what? I was actually treating these five homeless guys out there.” He was actually paying it forward, in the first place. What an unexpected fortune to get a chance to be a part of a man’s act of kindness.

Scrambling(爬) out from under the motorcycle, I searched crazily for my phone hoping it was not broken so I could call my father for help.As I waited for him on the side of the road, I immediately tensed up because with even the slightest touch of my hand, pain filled my body all over again.
With my new injuries, no one thought it would be possible for me to get on a horse and compete since I could barely even walk! The doctor asked me to stay in bed to rest for the entire weekend and not to wear anything other than shorts.Pain ran all throughout my body as I tried to get into the car.Why didn’t I slow down rather than go so fast? What if I just went on someone’s lawn instead of trying to make the turn? I always had so many “what-ifs”， but they could never change what I had done.
The past few days have been horrendous. I was not even able to walk to the kitchen without being in pain.However, I am determined to compete in the horse show within only a few minutes.
With the extreme heat of the sun on my black show coat and gloves, I slowly climbed on the mounting block.Pain shot up from my knee filling my entire body.Looking down at my leg, I noticed a liquid flowing through my breech(臀部) causing my body to tense all over once again.I refused to quit knowing how much time and energy I put into my competition while representing Shenanigans Farm.As I walked into the arena(竞技场), my heart began to beat faster and faster.Then I remembered something...No matter how much pain I was in or how better the other riders were, I refused to give up.

Ways to Stop Doubting Yourself

·Be Aware.
The first step towards overcoming anything is to become aware of it.By becoming aware that we are doubting ourselves, we can sooner confirm it and put a stop to it.As we realize our self-doubt, we will get quicker at confirming and stopping it.See? 2.
·Take a Break.
Sometimes it is our mind that goes against us.Whenever you find yourself having doubts, take a break.3. Ask yourself what made you get into this goal.It will get you to realize why you started it in the first place.
·4.

At a talk to some businessmen earlier today, one fellow asked me, “Would you give money to a homeless person, even when you know he’s going to use it to buy alcohol？” I replied, “If all was giving was money, it’ll be one thing. But for me, whenever I do give money, that’s just the wrapping.The real gift is hidden inside—it’s love. And I haven’t ever found any reason to limit gifts of love.”
By the end of the night, I decided to get some pizza. In front of me in line was a homeless-looking man. He was counting the few dollar bills in his hand, over and over again, until it was his turn to order. Just then, he told the young woman behind the counter, “I’ll have the full cheese pizza.” “Full？” she countered. “It’s really big.” she added, although what she really meant to say is that it’ll be too expensive for him. “Yeah, the full.” “$18.65，” she submitted. The bills he was counting weren’t going to make it. I wasn’t intending to get the whole pizza for him. But thinking back to my conversation with the business man, I realized that money was really just the wrapping.
I made my move. “Can you charge that pizza with my order？” I said to the cashier. “Really？” the homeless-looking man said. “Really？” the young woman behind the counter repeated. “Yes, really.” That disheveled(凌乱的) man and I had a sweet silent moment. To his silent question of why I was doing it, I added, “Just pay it forward for someone else.” And he said, “Well, you know what? I was actually treating these five homeless guys out there.” He was actually paying it forward, in the first place. What an unexpected fortune to get a chance to be a part of a man’s act of kindness.

Scrambling(爬) out from under the motorcycle, I searched crazily for my phone hoping it was not broken so I could call my father for help.As I waited for him on the side of the road, I immediately tensed up because with even the slightest touch of my hand, pain filled my body all over again.
With my new injuries, no one thought it would be possible for me to get on a horse and compete since I could barely even walk! The doctor asked me to stay in bed to rest for the entire weekend and not to wear anything other than shorts.Pain ran all throughout my body as I tried to get into the car.Why didn’t I slow down rather than go so fast? What if I just went on someone’s lawn instead of trying to make the turn? I always had so many “what-ifs”， but they could never change what I had done.
The past few days have been horrendous. I was not even able to walk to the kitchen without being in pain.However, I am determined to compete in the horse show within only a few minutes.
With the extreme heat of the sun on my black show coat and gloves, I slowly climbed on the mounting block.Pain shot up from my knee filling my entire body.Looking down at my leg, I noticed a liquid flowing through my breech(臀部) causing my body to tense all over once again.I refused to quit knowing how much time and energy I put into my competition while representing Shenanigans Farm.As I walked into the arena(竞技场), my heart began to beat faster and faster.Then I remembered something...No matter how much pain I was in or how better the other riders were, I refused to give up.

A Changing World
A
Every year thousands of tourists flock to① China with the latest② edition③ of China’s “Lonely Planet” guidebook in their hands. They come to see the grand④ sights of the Great Wall and the Forbidden City but often it is the hutongs that leave the strongest impression⑤， as they offer travellers a rare view into China’s past. Hutongs—the many little alleys⑥ that connect the rectangular⑦ courtyards of traditional houses⑧ —are a feature⑨ of ancient Chinese architecture and are still found in the old quarters of a few Chinese cities. Beijing’s hutongs are particularly⑩ famous, however, as there are thousands of them. Nowadays, the word “hutong” has come to? mean more than? just the alleys that connect the courtyards?. It also refers to? the courtyards themselves and even to the communities that live there.
B
The majority of? Beijing’s hutongs were built between the 13th and 19th centuries during the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.To help them keep control over? the city, the Emperors during these periods arranged? different areas of Beijing in neat blocks of houses built around courtyards. They were then able to place guards at the entrances of? the various hutongs, which made it easier to keep an eye on? people’s movements?. The Emperor’s home, the Forbidden City, was in the centre of Beijing and the homes of the nobles and wealthy citizens were in the hutongs closest to the royal palace. Ordinary citizens lived in the hutongs further away from( the palace.

每年成千上万的游客带着最新版《孤独星球》中国旅游指南涌向中国。他们来看长城和故宫的壮丽景色，但常常是那些胡同给他们留下深刻印象，因为透过难得一见的胡同，游客能看到中国的过去。胡同——很多条连接四合院的小巷子——是中国古代建筑的一个特色，今天仍然能在中国少数几个城市的老城角落里见到。但是北京的胡同格外著名，因为它有数千条。现在“胡同”这个词不仅仅指连接四合院的小巷子，还指四合院本身，甚至包括住在四合院里的人们。
B
北京的胡同大部分建于13至19世纪的元、明、清三个朝代。为了维持对整个城市的统治，那些朝代的皇帝们把北京城的不同地区划分成整整齐齐的四合院院落。然后他们就可以在各个胡同口设置哨兵，这更便于监视人们的活动。皇家官邸，即紫禁城，在北京城的正中央，贵族与富豪的府邸位于距离皇宫最近的胡同，普通老百姓住在离皇宫较远的胡同。
C
By connecting people’s homes, the hutongs in fact connected people’s lives, whether the lives of the rich( or the lives of the ordinary citizens(. Because the houses were built facing each other around courtyards(, the families who lived there were an important part of each other’s lives. They supported each other when help was needed and shared the joy and sadness( of everyday life, no doubt( sharing recipes, borrowing mops, and burning fragrant( incense together. The children played in the courtyards and because of the hutongs, courtyards were joined together for miles around creating a network of people working, playing and living together(—a real community.
D
Towards the end of the Qing Dynasty, the conditions in Beijing’s hutongs went down as the political situation cast( a dark cloud on China’s economy(. Many new hutongs were quickly built to house( the increasing population but these were poorly made. The turning point( came when the People’s Republic of China was set up(.

胡同不仅使家家户户相通，实际上不管是富人还是普通人，他们的生活都被胡同联系起来了。因为四合院的房子门对门围绕院子四面建成，所以生活在那里的人都成为彼此生活中重要的一部分。他们相互扶持，同甘共苦，更不用说分享菜谱、借用拖把和一起点香了。孩子们在院子里一起玩耍，也正因为有了胡同，方圆好几里的四合院被连接起来，构成了人们一起工作、一起娱乐、一起生活的网络——一个真正的社区。
D
到了清朝末期，中国的经济受到政治局势的不良影响，北京胡同的状况也每况愈下。为了容纳新增的人口，很多新胡同都是草草建成，质量欠佳。中华人民共和国成立以后情况有了转机。胡同的条件得到了很大的改善，政府对很多最古老的胡同进行了修缮和保护。
E
胡同仍然是北京生活的一个重要部分，难怪游客们喜欢胡同。他们可以沿着900年前修建的三庙街散步，或徜徉在长达两千米的最长的胡同——绒线胡同，或侧身挤过最窄处只有40厘米的钱市胡同！他们还可以在石拱门下停留，品尝一盘北京最著名的“北京烤鸭”或喝上一杯解渴的冰镇青岛啤酒，望着这胡同世界从岁月中流逝。胡同不仅联通了北京的街道和社区，它还联系着北京的过去和现在，它证明了北京的确是一座古老而现代的城市。

A
Every time people make a new acquaintance, first impressions determine whether people consider each other likeable.
“More than half of a first impression is affected by appearance—clothes, makeup, body language, gestures, and facial expressions，” said Mahena Stief, a business psychologist.But, it often makes a difference who the other person is.“I’m certain that when men judge women, appearance plays a greater role than when women judge other women，” said Lydia Maier, chairwoman of an association of color and style advisers.
With the help of a mirror, a good female friend and a good male friend, one’s own appearance can be thoroughly evaluated.
The first place to look is in the closet(衣橱)．“Good clothes are not dependant upon how much was spent on them.What’s important is that the clothes are neat, fit well, and match the personality of the person wearing them，” said Maier.Depending on the occasion, choose a timeless, discreet(朴素的), or stylish outfit for an introduction.
“Overall, the importance of fashion has increased in recent years，” said professor Gerhard Amendt, director of an institute that conducts gender(性别) and generation research at the University of Bremen.He sees a danger, however, that the personality of a person could be lost behind a fashionable appearance.
Well-being and inner stability are reflected in body language such as good gesture, open expression, and smooth movements, and contribute to a positive appearance.People who are comfortable with themselves appear balanced and stable to others.“You can do a lot for your own well-being，” said Stief.“It begins with clearing away major dissatisfactory things in your life.” Relaxation exercises, yoga, or weight training promote(提升) balance.Exercising also helps people look healthy and energetic.
Expressive body language and gestures, appealing facial expressions, and communication skills can be learned by attending management seminars or adult education courses.No one becomes a perfect talk master through these means, but they help people recognize how others interpret their behavior.“A considerable factor(因素) in appearance is self-confidence，” said Amendt.“Only those people who are sure of themselves, who know their own strengths, and are convinced of them come across as self-confident and convincing.”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。人际交往中第一印象非常重要，通过学习和运动，我们可以改变自己的形象，保持内心的平和，给人留下良好的印象。
1．What does Maier think are good clothes?
A．The timeless and stylish ones.
B．Those that fit the wearer’s nature.
C．Those that are beautiful and pricy.
D．The simple and well-designed ones.
B 解析：细节理解题。由第四段中的What’s important is that...wearing them可知， Maier认为好衣服并不取决于它的价格，真正的好衣服是那些整洁、合身、符合穿衣者个性的衣服。
2．Why does Amendt see a danger in fashion?
A．It is valued above quality.
B．It is increasing in popularity.
C．It may change a person’s taste.
D．It may mask a person’s character.
D 解析：推理判断题。由第五段中的the personality of a person could be lost behind a fashionable appearance可知， Amendt认为一个人的个性可能会丢失、掩盖在时尚外表的背后。
3．What can be learned from Paragraph 6?
A．Exercising can improve your well-being.
B．Body language is a sign of personal status.
C．Relaxing leads to an attractive appearance.
D．Balanced people often avoid unpleasant things.
A 解析：推理判断题。由第六段中的Relaxation exercises...promote(提升) balance.Exercising also helps people look healthy and energetic.可知， 锻炼可以让一个人保持内心的平和与安定， 也可以让一个人看起来健康、有活力。
4．What is important for improving appearance according to the last paragraph?
A．Learning. B．Planning.
C．Active mind. D．Behavior analysis.
A 解析：推理判断题。由最后一段中的Expressive body language...can be learned by attending management seminars or adult education courses.和they help people recognize how others interpret their behavior可知， 学习对于改善一个人的自信和外表是非常重要的。

Gene Technology to Benefit People
Among all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.
The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span(寿命) can be prolonged.
Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial family being a good example, have hereditary diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientists just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.
Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep; therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal ways. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology.
【解题导语】 本文介绍了基因技术对人类的作用。基因技术可以帮助治疗疾病， 帮助人们生健康聪明的宝宝，同时文章也提到了人们对这种技术的担心。
5．What do the underlined words“these two killers” in Para. 2 refer to?

B 解析：推理判断题。句子Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers．的意思是：每年， 数百万的人被这两个杀手害死了。根据上文的The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease.可知选B项。
6．What is the main idea of the third paragraph?
A．Gene technology can do with hereditary diseases.
B．Gene technology can be used to clone human babies.
C．Gene technology can help people to give birth to a baby.
D．Gene technology can help the English imperial family out.
A 解析：段落大意题。根据第三段中的In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly.可知， 本段主要是说基因技术可以治疗遗传病了。
7．In what way can gene technology help to treat hereditary diseases?
A．People with hereditary diseases can live longer.
B．Scientists find the wrong gene and correct it.
C．Cancer and heart disease can be cured.
D．Human babies can be cloned.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据文中第三段的The scientists just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.可知， 科学家需要找到错误基因并改正就可以了。
8．What is the main purpose of the author’s writing this passage?
A．To talk about the advantages of gene technology.
B．To explain that gene technology will also do harm to the humanity.
C．To tell the readers that gene technology will not benefit people.

Many Americans spend more time in cars these days than in the kitchen. But as lives grow busier—and waistlines grow larger—a number of health experts are calling for Americans to reduce their risk of cancer and other diseases by cooking at home more and eating out less.
“When dining out, people are likely to gravitate towards all the wrong thing，” says Rachel Brandeis of the American Dietetic Association. “People take in 50% more fat and sodium when they eat out than when they cook at home. And they often miss out on fruits, vegetables and other vitamin—rich ‘powerhouse foods’ that may reduce the risk of cancer.”
Nutritionists know it’s not easy to break old habits. Many people say they hardly have time to exercise, let alone fix dinner.
Brandeis says her secret is organization. She cooks six nights a week, even though she and her husband both work. She spends 20 minutes thinking about a week’s worth of menus and writing a list. She shops just once a week. Brandeis says she chooses easy cooking methods, too. Since she is not quite good at cooking.
The American Institute for Cancer Research has produced a guide filled with tips like “Homemade for Health”. Melanie Polk, the institute’s director of nutrition education, says cooking at home has many advantages. It teaches children about nutrition as well as the importance of sharing housework.
The 39-year-old homemaker Kirstin Kristinus of Washington, D．C. says cooking at home brings her family together. She also tries to reduce her family’s cancer risk by preparing every meal with many different kinds of food.
“The only way to know that you are getting all the good things is to expose yourself to a wide variety of food，” says Steven Shiff, a doctor in New Jersey. “If you eat out at a restaurant, it’s a lot easier to choose unhealthful things.”
However, “families don’t have to give up restaurants，” Shiff says. “It is possible to eat healthfully if you eat outside the home. But it takes probably the same sort of planning that you would have to do to prepare meals at home.”

Every time people make a new acquaintance, first impressions determine whether people consider each other likeable.
“More than half of a first impression is affected by appearance—clothes, makeup, body language, gestures, and facial expressions，” said Mahena Stief, a business psychologist.But, it often makes a difference who the other person is.“I’m certain that when men judge women, appearance plays a greater role than when women judge other women，” said Lydia Maier, chairwoman of an association of color and style advisers.
With the help of a mirror, a good female friend and a good male friend, one’s own appearance can be thoroughly evaluated.
The first place to look is in the closet(衣橱)．“Good clothes are not dependant upon how much was spent on them.What’s important is that the clothes are neat, fit well, and match the personality of the person wearing them，” said Maier.Depending on the occasion, choose a timeless, discreet(朴素的), or stylish outfit for an introduction.
“Overall, the importance of fashion has increased in recent years，” said professor Gerhard Amendt, director of an institute that conducts gender(性别) and generation research at the University of Bremen.He sees a danger, however, that the personality of a person could be lost behind a fashionable appearance.
Well-being and inner stability are reflected in body language such as good gesture, open expression, and smooth movements, and contribute to a positive appearance.People who are comfortable with themselves appear balanced and stable to others.“You can do a lot for your own well-being，” said Stief.“It begins with clearing away major dissatisfactory things in your life.” Relaxation exercises, yoga, or weight training promote(提升) balance.Exercising also helps people look healthy and energetic.
Expressive body language and gestures, appealing facial expressions, and communication skills can be learned by attending management seminars or adult education courses.No one becomes a perfect talk master through these means, but they help people recognize how others interpret their behavior.“A considerable factor(因素) in appearance is self-confidence，” said Amendt.“Only those people who are sure of themselves, who know their own strengths, and are convinced of them come across as self-confident and convincing.”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。人际交往中第一印象非常重要，通过学习和运动，我们可以改变自己的形象，保持内心的平和，给人留下良好的印象。
1．What does Maier think are good clothes?
A．The timeless and stylish ones.
B．Those that fit the wearer’s nature.
C．Those that are beautiful and pricy.
D．The simple and well-designed ones.
B 解析：细节理解题。由第四段中的What’s important is that...wearing them可知， Maier认为好衣服并不取决于它的价格，真正的好衣服是那些整洁、合身、符合穿衣者个性的衣服。
2．Why does Amendt see a danger in fashion?
A．It is valued above quality.
B．It is increasing in popularity.
C．It may change a person’s taste.
D．It may mask a person’s character.
D 解析：推理判断题。由第五段中的the personality of a person could be lost behind a fashionable appearance可知， Amendt认为一个人的个性可能会丢失、掩盖在时尚外表的背后。
3．What can be learned from Paragraph 6?
A．Exercising can improve your well-being.
B．Body language is a sign of personal status.
C．Relaxing leads to an attractive appearance.
D．Balanced people often avoid unpleasant things.
A 解析：推理判断题。由第六段中的Relaxation exercises...promote(提升) balance.Exercising also helps people look healthy and energetic.可知， 锻炼可以让一个人保持内心的平和与安定， 也可以让一个人看起来健康、有活力。
4．What is important for improving appearance according to the last paragraph?
A．Learning. B．Planning.
C．Active mind. D．Behavior analysis.
A 解析：推理判断题。由最后一段中的Expressive body language...can be learned by attending management seminars or adult education courses.和they help people recognize how others interpret their behavior可知， 学习对于改善一个人的自信和外表是非常重要的。

Gene Technology to Benefit People
Among all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.
The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span(寿命) can be prolonged.
Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial family being a good example, have hereditary diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientists just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.
Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep; therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal ways. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology.
【解题导语】 本文介绍了基因技术对人类的作用。基因技术可以帮助治疗疾病， 帮助人们生健康聪明的宝宝，同时文章也提到了人们对这种技术的担心。
5．What do the underlined words“these two killers” in Para. 2 refer to?
A．Gene technology.
B．Cancer and heart disease.
C．Hereditary diseases and cancer.
D．The couple who have cloned babies.
B 解析：推理判断题。句子Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers．的意思是：每年， 数百万的人被这两个杀手害死了。根据上文的The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease.可知选B项。
6．What is the main idea of the third paragraph?
A．Gene technology can do with hereditary diseases.
B．Gene technology can be used to clone human babies.
C．Gene technology can help people to give birth to a baby.
D．Gene technology can help the English imperial family out.
A 解析：段落大意题。根据第三段中的In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly.可知， 本段主要是说基因技术可以治疗遗传病了。
7．In what way can gene technology help to treat hereditary diseases?
A．People with hereditary diseases can live longer.
B．Scientists find the wrong gene and correct it.
C．Cancer and heart disease can be cured.
D．Human babies can be cloned.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据文中第三段的The scientists just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.可知， 科学家需要找到错误基因并改正就可以了。
8．What is the main purpose of the author’s writing this passage?
A．To talk about the advantages of gene technology.
B．To explain that gene technology will also do harm to the humanity.
C．To tell the readers that gene technology will not benefit people.
D．To describe how gene technology will benefit people.
D 解析：写作目的题。根据第二段和第三段的第一句话可知， 本文的主要内容是讲述基因技术是怎样对人类有利的。

阅读理解
You get anxious if there’s no wi-fi in the hotel or mobile phone signal up the mountain. You feel upset if your phone is getting low on power and you secretly worry things will go wrong at work if you’re not there. All these can be called “always on” stress caused by smart phone addiction.
For some people, smart phones have set them free from the nine-to-five work. Flexible working has given them more control over their working lives and enabled them to spend more time with their friends and families. For many others though, smart phones have become cruel masters in their pockets, never allowing them to turn them off and relax.
Pittsburgh-based developer Kevin Holesh was worried about how much he was ignoring his family and friends in favor of his iPhone. So he developed an app—Moment—to monitor his usage. The app enables users to see how much time they’re spending on the device and set up warnings if the usage limits are broken. “Moment’s goal is to promote balance in your life，” his website explains. “Some time on your phone, some time off it enjoying your loving family and friends around you.”
Dr. Christine Grant, an occupational psychologist at Coventry University, said, “The effects of this ‘always on’ culture are that your mind is never resting, and you’re not giving your body time to recover, so you’re always stressed. And the more tired and stressed we get, the more mistakes we make. Physical and mental health can suffer.”
And as the number of connected smart phones is increasing, so is the amount of data. This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis(瘫痪) and is creating more stress in the workplace because people have to receive a broader range of data and communications which are often difficult to manage. “It actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many do less because they’re controlled by it all and feel they can never escape the office，” said Dr. Christine Grant.
【解题导语】 本文描述了手机上瘾的症状，为了控制人们使用手机，平衡生活，Kevin Holesh开发了一个app来控制人们使用手机的时间。
1．What’s the first paragraph mainly about?
A．The popularity of smart phones.
B．The progress of modern technology.
C．The signs of “always on” stress.
D．The solutions of smart phone addiction.
C 解析：段落大意题。第一段最后一句All these can be called “always on” stress caused by smart phone addiction.是对前面内容的总结，说明了社会上由于手机上瘾而造成的“在线”压力现象。
2．Kevin Holesh developed Moment to ．
A．research how people use their mobile phones
B．help people control their use of mobile phones
C．make people better use mobile phones
D．increase the fun of using mobile phones
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第一、二句话可知，他是出于对那些对手机上瘾而忽略他们的家人和朋友的担忧而发明的。可知选B项。
3．What’s Dr. Christine Grant’s attitude towards “always on” culture?
A．Confused. B．Positive.
C．Doubtful. D．Critical.
D 解析：态度观点题。根据第四段可知Dr. Christine Grant说的话：这种“总是在线”文化使你的大脑得不到休息，不能给你的身体时间去恢复，所以你总是处于紧张状态。这样有损你的身心健康。可知他抱有批判的态度。故选D。
4．According to the last paragraph, a greater amount of data means ．
A．we will become less productive
B．we can make a decision more quickly
C．we will be equipped with more knowledge
D．we can work more effectively
A 解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis(瘫痪) and is creating more stress in the workplace because people have to receive a broader range of data and communications which are often difficult to manage.可推断出，大量数据表明我们的生产率更低。故A正确。

Dear Jeremy and Alice，
Although we’ve been delighted to have you as neighbors, we’re hoping to settle something that bothers to us. In a word, your dog—Cleo.
We’ve called several time about Cleo’s early morning barking. It is difficult to understanding why she barks every minute she’s outside. The early morning barking have been disturbing as we are often up all night with the baby. Beside, Cleo tends to bark a average of six hours a day. This morning she starts barking even before 5 o’clock. That is too much for us, considering how closely our houses are.
We appreciate our apologies and goodwill, but we hope that you can figure a good way of settling the matter.
Sincerely，
Li Hua

No matter what your advertising medium is, you should always make your message easy to be understood by making it personal.
Suppose you are in real estate(房地产). You are running an ad for a neighborhood. Tell your readers the benefits of living there as if you are having a one-to-one conversation. For example, your ad can read, “You won’t have to mow(修剪) the lawn ever again! All of our properties are right on the beach. A breathtaking view without a grassy yard makes Grand Island the place you’ll want to call home. It’s your dream house.”
Limit commas in your ad. Commas everywhere really distract readers’ attention. Your message gets lost because your readers are trying to understand your long sentences. Keep your sentences short enough.
You probably have learned in elementary school that you can’t use “and”， “but” or “because” to start a sentence. Your teachers ‘lied’ to you. It’s perfectly all right to use them to begin a sentence in an ad. You were taught that because your teacher didn’t want you to make an incomplete sentence by starting it with“and”， “but” or “because”. However, remember that it is advertising so anything goes!
Relax and pretend you are talking to a friend. One way to make it easier is to just forget it. That’s right. Forget that you are writing an ad, your company needs this ad to be successful and so on. Throw out all the pressures and sit down with your computer or pen. Now, write a letter to a friend. Tell your friend about your product. When you are finished, you will have a lot of material you can use in your ad. It is a great mental trick that can help you a lot.

Yellowstone National Park became America’s first national park in 1872.The National Park Service was formed 44 years later.Yellowstone, which is mostly in the state of Wyoming, is considered as a great example of the National Park System.Humans have been present in Yellowstone for more than 11，000 years.
The first organized exploration of the area which lies close to the Continental Divide of North America took place in 1870.Those first organized explorers must have seen right away how special the land was.Yellowstone contains beautiful mountains, deep canyons, lakes and rivers.
The name Yellowstone comes from the river running through the area.At first known as Rock Yellow River, later it became known as the Yellowstone River.Yellowstone is home to many different species of plants.However, the park is most special because of what lies underneath it.It sits on top of an ancient super volcano.And it remains an active volcano.It is believed that the last time the volcano erupted was a half million years ago.The area has had three major eruptions in the last three million years.Experts say it may erupt again in another 1，000 to 10，000 years.But each year, there are thousands of earthquakes at Yellowstone.Most are too wee to be felt by people visiting the park.
Yellowstone is filled with the beauty of many hot water springs.Of all the geothermal(地热的) places in the world, half are in Yellowstone.In places of geothermal activity, hot water and gases are trapped under the earth’s crust.In places like Yellowstone, they rush to the surface in the form of hot water and steam to form geysers(喷泉)．There are more geysers and hot springs in Yellowstone than anywhere else on the Earth.The most famous geyser is Old Faithful.It erupts about every hour or an hour and a half.The eruption can last from one and a half minutes up to 5 minutes.The amount of hot water it pours in that time can be as much as 31，000 liters or more.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文， 主要介绍了美国黄石国家公园的历史渊源及独特景观。
5．Which shows the correct time order according to the passage?
a．Explorers organized the first exploration of Yellowstone.
b．The National Park Service was formed.
c．The park became the first national park in America.
d．Humans showed up in Yellowstone.
A．a, d, b, c B．a, b, c, d
C．d, a, c, b D．d, a, b, c
C 解析：逻辑排序题。根据第一段和第二段的内容可知， a时间是1870年， b是1916年， c是1872年， d是11，000年前， 故可知答案。
6．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “wee” in Paragraph 3?
A．Small. B．Strange.
C．Strong. D．Similar.
A 解析：词义猜测题。根据第三段末尾的too...to be felt by people visiting the park可知， 多数地震都很弱， 参观公园的人是察觉不到的。
7．What do we know about the Old Faithful from the passage?
A．It is the largest geyser in Yellowstone.
B．It may erupt over twenty times every 24 hours.
C．It can be easily affected by active volcanoes.
D．It pours over 31，000 liters of hot water every minute.
B 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段的It erupts...a half.可知它每小时或每1.5小时喷发一次， 可推测一天24小时可喷发16至24次，故有可能一天内喷发超过20次。
8．What can be learned from the passage?
A．Yellowstone lies in the state of Wyoming.
B．Rock Yellow River is near the Yellowstone River.
C．Yellowstone has the most famous plants in the world.

You get anxious if there’s no wi-fi in the hotel or mobile phone signal up the mountain. You feel upset if your phone is getting low on power and you secretly worry things will go wrong at work if you’re not there. All these can be called “always on” stress caused by smart phone addiction.
For some people, smart phones have set them free from the nine-to-five work. Flexible working has given them more control over their working lives and enabled them to spend more time with their friends and families. For many others though, smart phones have become cruel masters in their pockets, never allowing them to turn them off and relax.
Pittsburgh-based developer Kevin Holesh was worried about how much he was ignoring his family and friends in favor of his iPhone. So he developed an app—Moment—to monitor his usage. The app enables users to see how much time they’re spending on the device and set up warnings if the usage limits are broken. “Moment’s goal is to promote balance in your life，” his website explains. “Some time on your phone, some time off it enjoying your loving family and friends around you.”
Dr. Christine Grant, an occupational psychologist at Coventry University, said, “The effects of this ‘always on’ culture are that your mind is never resting, and you’re not giving your body time to recover, so you’re always stressed. And the more tired and stressed we get, the more mistakes we make. Physical and mental health can suffer.”
And as the number of connected smart phones is increasing, so is the amount of data. This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis(瘫痪) and is creating more stress in the workplace because people have to receive a broader range of data and communications which are often difficult to manage. “It actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many do less because they’re controlled by it all and feel they can never escape the office，” said Dr. Christine Grant.
【解题导语】 本文描述了手机上瘾的症状，为了控制人们使用手机，平衡生活，Kevin Holesh开发了一个app来控制人们使用手机的时间。
1．What’s the first paragraph mainly about?
A．The popularity of smart phones.
B．The progress of modern technology.
C．The signs of “always on” stress.
D．The solutions of smart phone addiction.
C 解析：段落大意题。第一段最后一句All these can be called “always on” stress caused by smart phone addiction.是对前面内容的总结，说明了社会上由于手机上瘾而造成的“在线”压力现象。
2．Kevin Holesh developed Moment to ．
A．research how people use their mobile phones
B．help people control their use of mobile phones
C．make people better use mobile phones
D．increase the fun of using mobile phones
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第一、二句话可知，他是出于对那些对手机上瘾而忽略他们的家人和朋友的担忧而发明的。可知选B项。
3．What’s Dr. Christine Grant’s attitude towards “always on” culture?
A．Confused. B．Positive.
C．Doubtful. D．Critical.
D 解析：态度观点题。根据第四段可知Dr. Christine Grant说的话：这种“总是在线”文化使你的大脑得不到休息，不能给你的身体时间去恢复，所以你总是处于紧张状态。这样有损你的身心健康。可知他抱有批判的态度。故选D。
4．According to the last paragraph, a greater amount of data means ．
A．we will become less productive
B．we can make a decision more quickly
C．we will be equipped with more knowledge
D．we can work more effectively
A 解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis(瘫痪) and is creating more stress in the workplace because people have to receive a broader range of data and communications which are often difficult to manage.可推断出，大量数据表明我们的生产率更低。故A正确。

No matter what your advertising medium is, you should always make your message easy to be understood by making it personal.
Suppose you are in real estate(房地产). You are running an ad for a neighborhood. Tell your readers the benefits of living there as if you are having a one-to-one conversation. For example, your ad can read, “You won’t have to mow(修剪) the lawn ever again! All of our properties are right on the beach. A breathtaking view without a grassy yard makes Grand Island the place you’ll want to call home. It’s your dream house.”
Limit commas in your ad. Commas everywhere really distract readers’ attention. Your message gets lost because your readers are trying to understand your long sentences. Keep your sentences short enough.
You probably have learned in elementary school that you can’t use “and”， “but” or “because” to start a sentence. Your teachers ‘lied’ to you. It’s perfectly all right to use them to begin a sentence in an ad. You were taught that because your teacher didn’t want you to make an incomplete sentence by starting it with“and”， “but” or “because”. However, remember that it is advertising so anything goes!
Relax and pretend you are talking to a friend. One way to make it easier is to just forget it. That’s right. Forget that you are writing an ad, your company needs this ad to be successful and so on. Throw out all the pressures and sit down with your computer or pen. Now, write a letter to a friend. Tell your friend about your product. When you are finished, you will have a lot of material you can use in your ad. It is a great mental trick that can help you a lot.

Yellowstone National Park became America’s first national park in 1872.The National Park Service was formed 44 years later.Yellowstone, which is mostly in the state of Wyoming, is considered as a great example of the National Park System.Humans have been present in Yellowstone for more than 11，000 years.
The first organized exploration of the area which lies close to the Continental Divide of North America took place in 1870.Those first organized explorers must have seen right away how special the land was.Yellowstone contains beautiful mountains, deep canyons, lakes and rivers.
The name Yellowstone comes from the river running through the area.At first known as Rock Yellow River, later it became known as the Yellowstone River.Yellowstone is home to many different species of plants.However, the park is most special because of what lies underneath it.It sits on top of an ancient super volcano.And it remains an active volcano.It is believed that the last time the volcano erupted was a half million years ago.The area has had three major eruptions in the last three million years.Experts say it may erupt again in another 1，000 to 10，000 years.But each year, there are thousands of earthquakes at Yellowstone.Most are too wee to be felt by people visiting the park.
Yellowstone is filled with the beauty of many hot water springs.Of all the geothermal(地热的) places in the world, half are in Yellowstone.In places of geothermal activity, hot water and gases are trapped under the earth’s crust.In places like Yellowstone, they rush to the surface in the form of hot water and steam to form geysers(喷泉)．There are more geysers and hot springs in Yellowstone than anywhere else on the Earth.The most famous geyser is Old Faithful.It erupts about every hour or an hour and a half.The eruption can last from one and a half minutes up to 5 minutes.The amount of hot water it pours in that time can be as much as 31，000 liters or more.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文， 主要介绍了美国黄石国家公园的历史渊源及独特景观。
5．Which shows the correct time order according to the passage?
a．Explorers organized the first exploration of Yellowstone.
b．The National Park Service was formed.
c．The park became the first national park in America.
d．Humans showed up in Yellowstone.
A．a, d, b, c B．a, b, c, d

C 解析：逻辑排序题。根据第一段和第二段的内容可知， a时间是1870年， b是1916年， c是1872年， d是11，000年前， 故可知答案。
6．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “wee” in Paragraph 3?
A．Small. B．Strange.
C．Strong. D．Similar.
A 解析：词义猜测题。根据第三段末尾的too...to be felt by people visiting the park可知， 多数地震都很弱， 参观公园的人是察觉不到的。
7．What do we know about the Old Faithful from the passage?
A．It is the largest geyser in Yellowstone.
B．It may erupt over twenty times every 24 hours.
C．It can be easily affected by active volcanoes.
D．It pours over 31，000 liters of hot water every minute.
B 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段的It erupts...a half.可知它每小时或每1.5小时喷发一次， 可推测一天24小时可喷发16至24次，故有可能一天内喷发超过20次。
8．What can be learned from the passage?
A．Yellowstone lies in the state of Wyoming.
B．Rock Yellow River is near the Yellowstone River.
C．Yellowstone has the most famous plants in the world.

1．the 解析：考查定冠词。形容词的最高级前面应用定冠词，故填the。
2．disappointed 解析：考查形容词作定语的用法。设空处作定语修饰mother，表示“失望的”，故填disappointed。
3．than 解析：考查连词。由more pleasure可知此处表示比较，故填than。

8．adaptation 解析：考查名词。设空处前面有不定冠词限定，故填adaptation。
9．how 解析：考查宾语从句引导词。设空处引导宾语从句，且在从句中作状语(表程度)，修饰absurd，故填how。
10．changing 解析：考查动词-ing形式作宾语的用法。设空处作介词by的宾语，故填changing。

A
Summer time is a great opportunity for kids to learn how to work and earn a little bit of spending money. If your child needs a summer job, here are a few options to consider：
Lemonade/Cookie Stand
Benefits：
Creates a concept of running a business: Your child will be his own boss, set his own price , and run the show. It’s a great introduction to running his own business.
Limited Start-Up Costs: The things used to make lemonade are cheap, so your child should be able to get back his investment with a handful of sales.
What Kids Learn About Money: Your child will learn a very valuable lesson about pricing. The price of his lemonade will decide how much he can sell, if he will recover his investment and the amount of profit.
Yard Work
Benefits：
Repeated Customers: If a homeowner needs help raking(耙地) this year, he’ll probably want help again next year. Your child should be able to maintain a regular set of customers after one season.
Safety: Yard work is generally safer than a lawn-mowing job. Without having to operate machines, your child will be much safer.
What Kids Learn About Money: Because of the variability(变动) in pay, your child will need to learn how to negotiate(谈判) a fair price with homeowners if they ask.
Lifeguard
Benefits：
Responsibility: Kids learn a lot about responsibility when lifeguarding. They are within rights to tell whether a certain activity is safe and are allowed to take action as they see fit.
Exercise: Lifeguards need to be proficient at swimming and must exercise to stay in shape.
What Kids Learn About Money: To be a lifeguard, one must be certified. Your child may have to pay for lifeguard training, although some employers provide it on-site.
【解题导语】 本文介绍了几个适合孩子们在暑假里锻炼的工作。
1．Which one is not the benefit of selling lemonade or cookies for children?
A．To learn how to run a business.
B．To own repeated customers.
C．To learn profit and loss.
D．To lower the risk of losing money.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第一部分中的Creates a concept of running a business可知A正确；根据The things used to make...可知C、D项正确；B项是第二部分的内容。故选B项。
2．Which is suitable if you want your child to learn communication and negotiation?
A．Lemonade/Cookie Stand B．Yard Work
C．Lifeguard D．All of the above
B 解析：推理判断题。根据Yard Work中的Because of the variability(变动) in pay, your child will need to learn how to negotiate(谈判) a fair price with homeowners if they ask.可知，孩子可以从这项体验中学会交流和谈判。故选B项。
3．If your kid wants to be a lifeguard, he or she has to do all the following except ．
A．keeping a good figure
B．excelling at swimming
C．receiving training for free
D．learning to take action when necessary

B
I am 26. I’m clear that I’m never going to catch up with Mother Teresa. But I want to do something to help people every single day like her.
Everybody thinks we just serve food and soda. The safety training is serious and stressful. Caring for 49 people in a business class in 90 minutes is not easy. I had a roommate who was a waitress; she just left a candle and a table cloth burning, and I used a fire extinguisher(灭火器) to put out the fire. If something goes bad at her job, she calls the police. But if something happens up in the air, it’s up to us.
I’m single and have no kids. I’ve flown every Christmas since 1995. If I fly, someone else can be with their kids. Christmas in an airport can be depressing, but it’s the little things that make a difference.
We’re not robots. It’s hard to put on a smile and just pretend everything is great when it isn’t. I’ve seen co-workers lose a family member the day before a trip and just pull themselves together (take control of their feelings and behave in a calm way). At the end of a 14-hour flight, it’s like, “It was really nice to help you, but I’m ready for you to get off the plane.” Those last 15 minutes can be the longest 15 minutes of your life. You can’t wait to turn off the flight attendant’s voice and get something to eat without anyone saying “Excuse me.”
Sometimes I go all day and never hear a “please” or a“thank you.” When you say “thank you”， it’s huge. It makes us feel like you actually see us as fellow humans. We’re up there together at a height of 30, 000 feet, enjoying the miracle(奇迹) of the modern flight.
【解题导语】 作者是一位飞行人员。作者在本文中讲述了自己工作的辛苦和复杂。
4．What’s the author’s attitude towards Mother Teresa?
A．Grateful. B．Fearful.
C．Doubtful. D．Admiring.
D 解析：观点态度题。根据文中第一段的I’m clear that I’m never going to catch up with Mother Teresa. But I want to do something to help people every single day like her.可知， 作者的态度是崇拜的。
5．How did the author like her roommate’s job?
A．It was the same as hers.
B．It was more interesting than hers.
C．It was easier than hers.
D．It was more serious than hers.
C 解析：推理判断题。根据文中第二段的she just left a candle and a table cloth burning, and I used a fire extinguisher (灭火器) to put out the fire.可知， 室友的工作比自己的要容易得多。
6．Why does the author fly every Christmas?
A．Because she has nowhere to go.
B．Because she’s trying to be a helpful co-worker.
C．Because she owes her co-workers some favors.
D．Because she’d like to earn more money.
B 解析：推理判断题。根据文中第三段的I’m single and have no kids. I’ve flown every Christmas since 1995. If I fly, someone else can be with their kids.可知， 作者在圣诞节也要飞是为了让其他同事可以和孩子在一起。故选B项。
7．What does the author imply by saying the underlined sentence “We’re not robots.” ?
A．Flight attendants are not stronger than robots.
B．Flight attendants also experience emotions.
C．Flight attendants get tired while robots don’t.
D．Flight attendants need to rest now and then.
B 解析：推理判断题。根据画线句子后的It’s hard to put on a smile and just pretend everything is great when it isn’t.可知， 飞行人员也有自己的感情， 当发生了不好的事情时， 装出一副笑脸是很难的。

This is a true story about a boy who, the world might say, was a terrible underachiever.While in the eighth grade, he failed subjects repeatedly.High school wasn’t much better; he flunked Latin, algebra, English, and received a grade of zero in physics.The boy managed to make the school golf team, but he lost the most important golf match of the season.
It’s not that his peers(同龄人) disliked this boy; it’s just that they never really seemed to notice him much.Even “Hellos” in the hall were a rarity.Out of all the failures in his life, there was something that did hold great importance to this boy, his love of drawing.Although in high school, the cartoons he submitted to the yearbook were rejected, once out of school, the boy was so sure of his artistic talent that he approached Walt Disney Studios with drawing works.I wish I could say the studios loved his work and immediately hired him, but such was not the case; another huge rejection.
Despite his lack of successes, this boy did not give up.He then decided to write his own autobiography in cartoons, about a little boy who was regarded as a loser and a nobody.
The name of this boy was Charles Schulz, the creator of the famous Charlie Brown and comic dog Snoopy.
In life, it is sometimes easy to feel like a nobody.We pass hundreds of people on the street on our way to work, or walk through a faceless crowd in a mall, and no one seems to notice or care.Deep inside, we may know we are special and unique and have lots to offer, but unless someone takes the time to look our way and give us a chance; we may feel worthless, just like Charlie Brown who couldn’t even manage to fly a kite or kick a football properly.
Just as Charles Schulz had faith in his artistic talent, so too, we must realize that nobody is a nobody.We all have special gifts and talents, and every human being is deserving and capable of being loved and appreciated.

I was going to die in Antarctica. I was certain. An image of my frost-covered body, pale and lifeless, filled my mind as I glanced around. In all directions the empty wilderness of Antarctica stretched away from me, the only feature on the landscape was the division between snow and sky. I gazed sadly at my team. They were rapidly disappearing over the horizon.
I was leading an expedition(探险队) attempting to reach the south pole. The team was made up of ordinary women from all around the world—from Jamaica, India, Singapore and Cyprus—many of whom had never seen snow, or spent a night in a tent, before we set off. Our aim was to be the most international all-female team to reach the South Pole.
As I watched, the rest of the team had marched on, unaware that I was not with them. By the time I realised that my sledge was firmly stuck, the team were already a long way ahead of me. I called out to Era, my teammate from Brunei.“Era！Stop！”
Getting no response I called again, but my shouts were carried away in the opposite direction by the wind. Seconds passed. Nothing. I was gradually being left alone, completely defenseless against the fatally low temperatures of Antarctica.
My strength increased when I thought of a cold, lonely death. I pulled again my sledge, which moved a little. I removed the ice with my ski-pole and boot, desperately trying to break the sledge free. The sledge shot forward, knocking me off balance. I struggled to my feet and set off after the team.
I caught up just as Reena, my teammate from India, looked behind her and noticed there was one person missing. She swung around on her skis in shock and spotted me in the near distance.
As we continued, my panic slowly faded. For the rest of the day each of the team was glancing over their shoulder every few minutes. They were not going to risk losing me again.

Summer time is a great opportunity for kids to learn how to work and earn a little bit of spending money. If your child needs a summer job, here are a few options to consider：
Lemonade/Cookie Stand
Benefits：
Creates a concept of running a business: Your child will be his own boss, set his own price , and run the show. It’s a great introduction to running his own business.
Limited Start-Up Costs: The things used to make lemonade are cheap, so your child should be able to get back his investment with a handful of sales.
What Kids Learn About Money: Your child will learn a very valuable lesson about pricing. The price of his lemonade will decide how much he can sell, if he will recover his investment and the amount of profit.
Yard Work
Benefits：
Repeated Customers: If a homeowner needs help raking(耙地) this year, he’ll probably want help again next year. Your child should be able to maintain a regular set of customers after one season.
Safety: Yard work is generally safer than a lawn-mowing job. Without having to operate machines, your child will be much safer.
What Kids Learn About Money: Because of the variability(变动) in pay, your child will need to learn how to negotiate(谈判) a fair price with homeowners if they ask.
Lifeguard
Benefits：
Responsibility: Kids learn a lot about responsibility when lifeguarding. They are within rights to tell whether a certain activity is safe and are allowed to take action as they see fit.
Exercise: Lifeguards need to be proficient at swimming and must exercise to stay in shape.
What Kids Learn About Money: To be a lifeguard, one must be certified. Your child may have to pay for lifeguard training, although some employers provide it on-site.
【解题导语】 本文介绍了几个适合孩子们在暑假里锻炼的工作。
1．Which one is not the benefit of selling lemonade or cookies for children?
A．To learn how to run a business.
B．To own repeated customers.
C．To learn profit and loss.
D．To lower the risk of losing money.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第一部分中的Creates a concept of running a business可知A正确；根据The things used to make...可知C、D项正确；B项是第二部分的内容。故选B项。
2．Which is suitable if you want your child to learn communication and negotiation?
A．Lemonade/Cookie Stand B．Yard Work
C．Lifeguard D．All of the above
B 解析：推理判断题。根据Yard Work中的Because of the variability(变动) in pay, your child will need to learn how to negotiate(谈判) a fair price with homeowners if they ask.可知，孩子可以从这项体验中学会交流和谈判。故选B项。
3．If your kid wants to be a lifeguard, he or she has to do all the following except ．
A．keeping a good figure
B．excelling at swimming
C．receiving training for free
D．learning to take action when necessary
C 解析：推理判断题。根据第三部分中的They are within rights to tell whether a certain activity is safe and are allowed to take action as they see fit.和Lifeguards need to be proficient at swimming and must exercise to stay in shape.可知，lifeguard所需要的条件。故选C项。

I am 26. I’m clear that I’m never going to catch up with Mother Teresa. But I want to do something to help people every single day like her.
Everybody thinks we just serve food and soda. The safety training is serious and stressful. Caring for 49 people in a business class in 90 minutes is not easy. I had a roommate who was a waitress; she just left a candle and a table cloth burning, and I used a fire extinguisher(灭火器) to put out the fire. If something goes bad at her job, she calls the police. But if something happens up in the air, it’s up to us.
I’m single and have no kids. I’ve flown every Christmas since 1995. If I fly, someone else can be with their kids. Christmas in an airport can be depressing, but it’s the little things that make a difference.
We’re not robots. It’s hard to put on a smile and just pretend everything is great when it isn’t. I’ve seen co-workers lose a family member the day before a trip and just pull themselves together (take control of their feelings and behave in a calm way). At the end of a 14-hour flight, it’s like, “It was really nice to help you, but I’m ready for you to get off the plane.” Those last 15 minutes can be the longest 15 minutes of your life. You can’t wait to turn off the flight attendant’s voice and get something to eat without anyone saying “Excuse me.”
Sometimes I go all day and never hear a “please” or a“thank you.” When you say “thank you”， it’s huge. It makes us feel like you actually see us as fellow humans. We’re up there together at a height of 30, 000 feet, enjoying the miracle(奇迹) of the modern flight.
【解题导语】 作者是一位飞行人员。作者在本文中讲述了自己工作的辛苦和复杂。
4．What’s the author’s attitude towards Mother Teresa?
A．Grateful. B．Fearful.
C．Doubtful. D．Admiring.
D 解析：观点态度题。根据文中第一段的I’m clear that I’m never going to catch up with Mother Teresa. But I want to do something to help people every single day like her.可知， 作者的态度是崇拜的。
5．How did the author like her roommate’s job?
A．It was the same as hers.
B．It was more interesting than hers.

D．It was more serious than hers.
C 解析：推理判断题。根据文中第二段的she just left a candle and a table cloth burning, and I used a fire extinguisher (灭火器) to put out the fire.可知， 室友的工作比自己的要容易得多。
6．Why does the author fly every Christmas?
A．Because she has nowhere to go.
B．Because she’s trying to be a helpful co-worker.
C．Because she owes her co-workers some favors.
D．Because she’d like to earn more money.
B 解析：推理判断题。根据文中第三段的I’m single and have no kids. I’ve flown every Christmas since 1995. If I fly, someone else can be with their kids.可知， 作者在圣诞节也要飞是为了让其他同事可以和孩子在一起。故选B项。
7．What does the author imply by saying the underlined sentence “We’re not robots.” ?
A．Flight attendants are not stronger than robots.
B．Flight attendants also experience emotions.
C．Flight attendants get tired while robots don’t.
D．Flight attendants need to rest now and then.
B 解析：推理判断题。根据画线句子后的It’s hard to put on a smile and just pretend everything is great when it isn’t.可知， 飞行人员也有自己的感情， 当发生了不好的事情时， 装出一副笑脸是很难的。

This is a true story about a boy who, the world might say, was a terrible underachiever.While in the eighth grade, he failed subjects repeatedly.High school wasn’t much better; he flunked Latin, algebra, English, and received a grade of zero in physics.The boy managed to make the school golf team, but he lost the most important golf match of the season.
It’s not that his peers(同龄人) disliked this boy; it’s just that they never really seemed to notice him much.Even “Hellos” in the hall were a rarity.Out of all the failures in his life, there was something that did hold great importance to this boy, his love of drawing.Although in high school, the cartoons he submitted to the yearbook were rejected, once out of school, the boy was so sure of his artistic talent that he approached Walt Disney Studios with drawing works.I wish I could say the studios loved his work and immediately hired him, but such was not the case; another huge rejection.
Despite his lack of successes, this boy did not give up.He then decided to write his own autobiography in cartoons, about a little boy who was regarded as a loser and a nobody.
The name of this boy was Charles Schulz, the creator of the famous Charlie Brown and comic dog Snoopy.
In life, it is sometimes easy to feel like a nobody.We pass hundreds of people on the street on our way to work, or walk through a faceless crowd in a mall, and no one seems to notice or care.Deep inside, we may know we are special and unique and have lots to offer, but unless someone takes the time to look our way and give us a chance; we may feel worthless, just like Charlie Brown who couldn’t even manage to fly a kite or kick a football properly.
Just as Charles Schulz had faith in his artistic talent, so too, we must realize that nobody is a nobody.We all have special gifts and talents, and every human being is deserving and capable of being loved and appreciated.

I was going to die in Antarctica. I was certain. An image of my frost-covered body, pale and lifeless, filled my mind as I glanced around. In all directions the empty wilderness of Antarctica stretched away from me, the only feature on the landscape was the division between snow and sky. I gazed sadly at my team. They were rapidly disappearing over the horizon.
I was leading an expedition(探险队) attempting to reach the south pole. The team was made up of ordinary women from all around the world—from Jamaica, India, Singapore and Cyprus—many of whom had never seen snow, or spent a night in a tent, before we set off. Our aim was to be the most international all-female team to reach the South Pole.
As I watched, the rest of the team had marched on, unaware that I was not with them. By the time I realised that my sledge was firmly stuck, the team were already a long way ahead of me. I called out to Era, my teammate from Brunei.“Era！Stop！”
Getting no response I called again, but my shouts were carried away in the opposite direction by the wind. Seconds passed. Nothing. I was gradually being left alone, completely defenseless against the fatally low temperatures of Antarctica.
My strength increased when I thought of a cold, lonely death. I pulled again my sledge, which moved a little. I removed the ice with my ski-pole and boot, desperately trying to break the sledge free. The sledge shot forward, knocking me off balance. I struggled to my feet and set off after the team.
I caught up just as Reena, my teammate from India, looked behind her and noticed there was one person missing. She swung around on her skis in shock and spotted me in the near distance.
As we continued, my panic slowly faded. For the rest of the day each of the team was glancing over their shoulder every few minutes. They were not going to risk losing me again.
【解题导语】 本文讲述了“我”带领一个国际女子探险队在南极探险，途中“我”的雪橇被雪卡住，以致掉队。后来“我”经过努力，克服了危机，赶上了队伍。

A．avoid being attacked from behind
B．make sure that none fell behind
C．check the distance they had covered
D．keep a record of the route they took
