13．When we talk about stars，especially women stars，it seems that they are always young，pretty and own charming body shapes．But recently a Britain's Got Talent（英國(guó)達(dá)人）star Susan Boyle has changed our views absolutely．
Simon Cowell，one of the judges of the talent show spoke of his shock over Ms Boyle's voice．"This lady camp up，and I'm thinking，'This will take five seconds and I can go to have a cup of tea'．That changed when she began to sing I Dreamed to Dream from Les Miserables．She knew we were going to have that reaction and just to see that look of satisfaction on her face through-it was one of my favorite moments，"Cowell said．
The performance was posted on line and before long，the 47-year-old Scottish woman has been famous all over the world．
Speaking from her home in Scotland，Ms Boyle said that she hasn't thought of changing her appearance．She said that her friend helped her with make-up．"I mean，that's hardly a makeover，"she added．Ms Boyle also spoke of the reason she first began to explore her vocal talents，"I was kind of slow at school，so getting like singing was a good way of hiding behind that and thus it built my confidence．"

72．Susan Boyle isD  
A．a(chǎn) judge    B．a(chǎn) reporter    C．a(chǎn) beautiful    D．a(chǎn) Scottish woman
73．Susan Boyle had a look of satisfaction on her face when she was singing      
becauseA．
A．she was confident of her singing
B．she was satisfied with the judges

B．It's easier to succeed at the age of 47．
C．If you have a dream，try to make it come true!

分析 本文講述了Susan Boyle 一直有唱歌的夢(mèng)想，在唱歌中她構(gòu)筑了信心，發(fā)掘了自己的天份并取得成功．

解答 72．D   細(xì)節(jié)題．結(jié)合第四段第一句 Speaking from her home in Scotland，Ms．Boyle said that she hasn't thought of changing her appearance 可知，Susan Boyle 來自蘇格蘭，是蘇格蘭人．故 a Scottish woman 符合題意．a(chǎn) judge 意為"一名法官"，a reporter 意為"一名記者"，a beautiful 意為"一個(gè)美人"，均不符合題意．
故正確答案為D．
73．A  細(xì)節(jié)題． 結(jié)合第二段倒數(shù)第二句 She knew we were going to have that reaction and just to see that look of satisfaction on her face widway through 和第五段最后一句 so getting like singing was a good way of hiding behind that and thus it built my confidence 可知，Susan Boyle 認(rèn)為唱歌可以構(gòu)筑信心，使人在唱歌時(shí)感到十分滿足．可推知她對(duì)于自己的歌聲十分有信心．A項(xiàng)意為"她對(duì)歌唱很自信"，符合題意．B項(xiàng)意為"她對(duì)評(píng)委滿意"，C項(xiàng)意為"她漂亮且身材好"，D項(xiàng)意為"她唱的歌是來自《悲慘世界》的 I dreamed a dream"，均不是她感到滿足的原因．均不符合題意．故正確答案為A．
74．C  判斷正誤題．
A項(xiàng)，結(jié)合第五段第一句 Ms Boyle also spoke of the reason she first began to explore her vocal talents 和最后一句 getting like singing was a good way of hiding behind that and thus it built my confidence 可知，是喜歡上唱歌這件事讓她發(fā)現(xiàn)了自己的唱歌特長(zhǎng)，從而使她變得自信．故A項(xiàng)表述正確．B項(xiàng)，結(jié)合第五段最后一句 I was kind of slow at school 可知，她在學(xué)校有些遲緩，即成績(jī)不太好．故B項(xiàng)表述正確．C項(xiàng)，結(jié)合第一段第一句 When we talk about stars，especially women stars，it seems that they are always young，pretty and own charming body shapes 和第一段最后一句 But recently a Britain's Got Talent star Susan Boyle has changed our views absolutely 可知，Susan Boyle 完全顛覆了我們之前認(rèn)為的明星，尤其是女明星年輕、美麗、身材好的印象，可見 Susan Boyle 不是因?yàn)橥獗矶雒蔆項(xiàng)表述錯(cuò)誤．
D項(xiàng)，結(jié)合第二段第二句 This will take five seconds and I can go to have a cup of tea 可知，Simon Cowell 認(rèn)為他可以很快結(jié)束對(duì) Susan Boyle 的點(diǎn)評(píng)去休息，說明他開始并不認(rèn)為 Susan Boyle 是一個(gè)好歌手．故D項(xiàng)表述正確．題干要求選擇錯(cuò)誤的（NOT true）選項(xiàng)，C項(xiàng)符合題意．故正確答案為C．
75．C  主旨題．
結(jié)合第五段最后一句 I was kind of slow at school，so getting like singing was a good way of hiding behind that and thus it built my confidence 可知，Susan Boyle 一直有唱歌的夢(mèng)想，在唱歌中她構(gòu)筑了信心，發(fā)掘了自己的天份并取得成功．C項(xiàng)意為"如果你有夢(mèng)想，就努力去實(shí)現(xiàn)它"，符合題意．A項(xiàng)意為"活到老學(xué)到老"，B項(xiàng)意為"47歲時(shí)更容易取得成功"，D項(xiàng)意為"如果你學(xué)習(xí)不好，試著去當(dāng)一名歌手"，均不符合題意．故正確答案為C．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 閱讀理解題測(cè)試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力，要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系，對(duì)未說明的趨勢(shì)或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷；或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點(diǎn)理論，對(duì)文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋．考生首先要仔細(xì)閱讀短文，完整了解信息，準(zhǔn)確把握作者觀點(diǎn)．

1．Indian's snake charmers （耍蛇者） are to be retrained as wildlife teachers under a plan to prevent their unique skills and knowledge from being lost．The charmers，who make snakes dance to the sound of flutes （笛子），used to be a traditional feature of Indian life，performing in towns and villages，until they were banned in 1972to control the trade in snake skins．
The government is now considering a plan to train the snake charmers，as they are known，to visit schools and zoos to tell children about forests and wildlife．There is also a proposal to set up a"dial a snake charmer"service to help householders to deal with unwelcome intruders （入侵者）．
"For generations they have been a feature of Indian life but now they can't earn a living for fear of arrest，"said Behar Dutt，a professor behind the plans，"if a policeman doesn't catch them，animal rights activists report them．"
Many snake charmers have continued to work clandestinely since the ban，despite the threat of up to three years in jail．But their trademark cloth-covered baskets，hanging from a bamboo pole carried across their shoulders，make them an easy target （目標(biāo)） for police．
The fate of Shisha Nath，56，from Badarpur，a village just outside of Delhi，is typical of practitioners （從業(yè)者） of the dying art．"I used to earn enough to support my family and send my children to school，"he said．"Now it's hard to earn even for a day．My children want to be snake charmers．It's our identity．We love the work．But it's become impossible．"
Next month Dutt's project to train 30snake charmers will begin at a snake park in Pune，western India，where experts will enrich their home-grown skills with some formal knowledge．
More than the law，though，it is the dishonest attitude of their fellow countryman that angers many snake charmers．
"We're disturbed all the time but when people want a snake removed from the house，they rush to us，"said Prakash Nath，who was ordered recently to the home of Sonia Gandhi，the Congress party leader．

60．According to the passage，snake charmers will be retrained as wildlife teachers mainly becauseD．

B．most of them cannot support their families
C．their performances on the street are banned
D．the government plans to save the dying art
61．The purpose of the proposed"dial a snake charmer"in paragraph 2telephone service isD．
A．to give performance of snake dancing
B．to teach householders how to catch and kill snakes
C．to offer cleaning service to wealthy householders
D．to help remove unwanted snakes from the houses
62．The word underlined word"clandestinely"in paragraph 4can be best replaced by the word"A"．
A．secretly  B．happily  C．unconsciously  D．diligently
63．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage？B
A．Snake charmers can easily be recognized by the police on the street．
B．Children of snake charmers would not like to continue their fathers'job．
C．Snake charmers are quite angry with the attitude of their fellow countrymen．

2．With his game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer，Jeremy Lin （林書豪） finished the New York Knicks'dramatic reversed victory to defeat the Toronto Rapters．
   The Knicks have won six games in a row，and Jeremy Lin has put up impressive numbers during the continuous period of competitions．Although the season is still young，the Knicks have reversed course in just one week from the NBA's most disappointing team to a playoff （季后賽） contestant．Lin，not team's high-paid stars，has saved the Knicks season and likely coach D'Antoni's job．
After nearly 15 years of disappointing，sometimes unsuccessful seasons，Madison Square Garden is alive again，and New York City can't stop talking about the Knicks．To put things into perspective，consider this：Just several years back，Knicks fans protested nightly outside of the Garden calling for the team's ownership to fire their resented coach Isiah Thomas．
Now，Madison Square Garden Co．shares are at a record high，the Knicks'average household television rating is up 70 percent since Lin joined the starting lineup （首發(fā)陣容），and jersey sales are increasing very quickly．I watched the Knicks-Lakers game at a bar in Harlem，and have not felt that kind of energy from fans since the great playoff between the Knicks and Miami Heat in the late 1990s．
Beyond the Knicks，Lin may be saving the NBA as well．Just a few months back，the NBA took a massive credibility hit during a multi-month lockout，where the owners did not allow the players to go back to play until they accept the new salary levels．As a consequence，the season did not even begin until Christmas Day．Over the past few years，LeBron James'（勒布朗﹒詹姆斯） relatively long and unpleasant free-agent （自由職業(yè)球員） events，combined with poor play around the league，have angered fans and damaged the league's brand．
Lin is leading a one-week NBA basketball revival．His legendary story has inspired Asian-Americans，increased NBA sales in China，and turned the basketball world upside down．
51．According to the passage，Jeremy Lin's excellent performance saved the following exceptD．
A．The NBA                                     
B．Madison Square Garden Co．'s shares
C．The Knicks                                    
D．Coach Isiah Thomas
52．The underlined word"young"in Paragraph 2 probably means"A．"
A．in the early stage    
B．not old yet．
C．not completely grown．
D．in the development      
53．Which one of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？D
A．These Knicks'stars who were paid well saved the Knicks season
B．The fans objected to dismissing Coach Isiah Thomas outside the Garden
C．The owners and the players didn't agree on raising the TV ratings
D．The Knicks didn't satisfy its fans for nearly 15 years until this season
54．The passage is mainly aboutA．
A．how Jeremy Lin saved the Knicks，probably including the NBA
B．why Jeremy Lin became a member of the Knicks  
C．how the Knicks defeated its opponents in a great playoff  
D．why the New Yorkers thought well of Jeremy Lin．

3．In our culture，the sources of what we call a sense of"mastery"-feeling important and worthwhile-and the sources of what we call a sense of"pleasure"-finding life enjoyable-are not always the same．Women often are told"You can't have it all．"Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is："You choose a career，so you can't expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life．"or"You have a wonderful husband and children-what's all this about wanting a career？"But women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being，if they are to feel good about themselves．
Our study shows that，for women，well-being has two aspects．One is mastery，which includes self-respect，a sense of control over your life，and low levels of anxiety and depression．Mastery is closely related to the"doing"side of life，to work and activity．Pleasure is the other aspect，and it is made up of happiness，satisfaction and optimism．It is tied more closely to the"feeling"side of life．The two are independent of each other．A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure，and vice versa（反之亦然）．For example，a woman who has a good job，but whose mother has just died，might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life，but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time．
The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women，and correct past mistakes．In the past，women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being．But we know that both mastery and pleasure are important．And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work．In our study，all the groups of employed women were valued significantly higher in mastery than women who were not employed．
A woman's well-being is developed when she takes on multiple roles．At least by middle adulthood，the women who were involved in a combination of roles-marriages，motherhood，and employment-were the highest in well-being，in spite of warnings about stress and strain．

65．It can be inferred from the first paragraph thatD．
A．for women，a sense of"mastery"is more important than a sense of"pleasure"
B．for women，a sense of"pleasure"is more important than a sense of"mastery"
C．women can't have a sense of"mastery"and a sense of"pleasure"at the same time
D．a(chǎn) sense of"mastery"and a sense of"pleasure"are both necessary to women
66．The author's attitude towards women having a career isB．
A．negative         B．positive         C．indifferent          D．realistic
67．One can conclude from the passage that if a woman takes on several social roles，D．
A．it will be easier for her to overcome stress and strain
B．she will be more successful in her career
C．her chances of getting promoted will be greater
D．her life will be richer and more meaningful
68．Which of the following can be considered as a source of"pleasure"for women？A
A．Family life                              B．Multiple roles in society
C．Regular employment                       D．Freedom from anxiety．
