解答 56．D  推理判斷題．根據(jù)第一段"Some of the children are supported by the upper-class employers of their parents； others cannot attend school every day as they sell something in the streets for parts of the week"可知，一些孩子是被雇主撫養(yǎng)的，還有一些不能去學(xué)校，每天要去街上賣(mài)東西，由此推斷他們來(lái)自很窮的家庭．故選D．
57．C  細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)Requirements中的"At least aged 17，no qualifications necessary，but you'll have to be enthusiastic"可知成員需要超過(guò)17歲并且有足夠的熱情，故選C．

7．Shopping in the United States changes a lot．About ninety years ago most people shopped in small stores that were owned by one person or a family．Women went from the bakery to the butcher's to the grocer and on to the fruit and vegetable seller in order to get their food for the week．
    Then about sixty years ago，supermarkets were born．In a supermarket，people could get all the different kinds of food they needed without going to different stores．
    The next big change in shopping in the United States was the shopping mall．A shopping mall is a group of stores under one roof．Because malls allowed people to shop without worrying about the weather，they soon became very popular．The mall became a place for people to socialize in addition to shopping．If you walk through a mall，you will see older people sitting，chatting and drinking coffee．Malls are places for teenagers to hang out．Many teens will often just"go to the mall"and spend time with their friends．
    The recent change in American shopping was the superstore．Large chain stores such as Wal-Mart，Office Depot and Toys"R"Us have been built all across the United States．Because they are so large，they can buy goods at a great discount and sell them much cheaper than smaller stores．
    Sometimes，when they are built near small towns，many of the small town stores have to close．They just cannot compete with their giant neighbors．
    And now，online shopping is becoming more and more popular all over the States．People are too busy to go to the physical stores，so they go shopping over the Internet．Online shopping has lots of advantages．For instance，online stores are usually available 24 hours a day．Searching or browsing online shops can be faster than browsing the physical stores．While，online shopping also has its disadvantages．People are at higher risk of being cheated on the part of the merchant than in a physical store．And privacy of personal information may be let out．
56．Which of the following shows the right order of shopping development in the United States？C
①small stores  ②superstores   ③shopping malls    ④shopping online⑤supermarkets
A．①②③④⑤B．①⑤②③④
C．①⑤③②④D．②③④①⑤
57．Which is the place for people to spend time with others according to the passage？A
A．Shopping malls．        
B．Small stores．      
C．Supermarkets．      
D．Superstores．
58．Why can the superstores sell products at much lower prices？D
A．Because they are built near small towns．
B．Because they are across the United States．
C．Because they sell all kinds of products people need．
D．Because they can buy goods at a reduction in the price．
59．What's the disadvantage of online shopping according to the passage？B
A．Wasting time．   
B．Leaking personal information．
C．Fixed prices．      
D．No chance to do physical activities．

5．Microsoft Windows XP support ends：How to update？If you're still running Windows XP-what do you do now？This doesn't mean that computers running the operating system will stop working，but it is likely that the computer will be attacked by hackers as the company stops providing security-updates and technical support for Windows XP．
Generally speaking，you have two new choices：Buy a new computer or update to Windows 7or Windows 8.1．If you're not ready to make a change，there are things you should do if you'll still be on XP over the next couple of months．
Firstly，make sure the software you have is as up-to-date as possible．That means having any security fixes you can't get from Microsoft's website and make sure that you've got some （non-Microsoft） antivirus software installed（安裝） from other websites．Of course，if you want to keep really safe then you'd better stay off the web altogether，though for many users this won't even be a choice．Another choice is to change from using an administrator account to a limited account for tasks，like checking your e-mail．This means that if a hacker attacks your computer，at least they won't have administrator-level access．
However，we have to stress that these steps are just temporary（臨時(shí)的） measures and aren't enough to protect your computer in the long run．Whether you're buying a new computer or simply updating your present operating system depends on yourself．You'll have to choose between Windows 7and Windows 8.1．Whichever you go for，you'll need to check that your computer meets the minimum system requirements for either system．For either Windows 7or 8.1，you'll need at least a computer with 1GB of RAM，1GHz processor and 160GB of hard disk space．However，to run a better operating system，you'll need a computer with over 4GB of RAM，a 2GHZ processor and 500GB of hard disk space．Buying a new computer with these functions，you may pay more than＄500．
If you're still planning on updating，Microsoft offers some great guides on their own website，meaning that you can download your new operating system and copy all your old files without leaving your computer．Windows 7is certainly better than Windows XP，but you should be aware that it is also an‘old'operating system．Microsoft Company will add more updates to Windows 8.1over time，while Windows 7will also come to an end before long-just like XP．

58．‘Microsoft Windows XP support ends'means thatB．
A．the operating system of Windows XP will stop working
B．Microsoft stops providing technical support for Windows XP
C．people must install other websites'antivirus software for Windows 7．
D．people must buy a new computer and update to Windows 7or Windows 8.1
59．To prevent a hacker from attacking your computer，you'd better NOTC．
A．update your computerB．stay off the web altogether
C．use an administrator account  D．install some antivirus soft wares
60．From the fourth paragraph，D is a better choice in the long run．
A．buying a new computer as Windows XP support ends
B．updating your present operating system to protect your computer
C．having a new computer with at least 1GB of RAM，1GHz of hard disk space
D．choosing a new computer with over 4GB of RAM and 500GB of hard disk space
61．From the passage we can conclude thatB．
A．hacker attacks will happen more often in the future
B．a(chǎn)n operating system develops quickly as time goes by
C．a(chǎn) new computer will be more expensive than it used to be
D．people tend to use security fixes except Microsoft Company's．

12．Many tourists visiting the USA on vacation enjoy shopping for bargains．You can find many bargains in the US if you know where to shop and how to take advantage of the competitive sales．
Department stores offer good quality and high fashion
Macy's department stores offer a wide selection of merchandise（商品），including fashion clothing，luggage and jewelry．They normally offer good quality merchandise，well known brands and the latest fashions，but not low quality products at bargain prices．They frequently have seasonal sales with attractive discounts．At such times，you can get high quality or fashion merchandise at bargain prices．
General merchandise stores offer affordable quality
Sears and JCPenny are two large national chains with stores across the US．They are similar to department stores but they do not offer high fashion merchandise or luxury（奢侈的） brands．Instead，they feature good quality merchandise at affordable prices．They are particularly known for their selection of children's clothing and domestic goods．Sears is famous for its selection of tools and garden products．
Discount stores sell at low prices
Discount stores sell some good quality merchandise at affordable prices and some lower quality merchandise at very low prices．If you are not looking for the latest fashions，famous brands，or the best quality，you can find some very inexpensive merchandise at a discount store．Some national discount chains with stores across the US are K-Mart，Wal-Mart，Target and Caldor．
Outlet stores are a bargain hunter's wonderland
Outlet stores or factory outlets sell high quality merchandise and well-known brands at discounted prices．They usually offer merchandise with slight flaws（瑕疵） and remainders from the last season or the previous year．They do not have end-of-season sales like the department stores，as their merchandise is always discounted 20% to 40% below department store prices．

21．If you want to buy a new dress that is fashionable，you should go toD．
A．Sears              B．Wal-Mart        C．JCPenny      D．Macy's

6．All parents know that one of their most important tasks is to prepare their children for an independent life，but any parent can tell you that it's hard to let go of your children．That balance between keeping your children safe and allowing them to learn from their own mistakes can be heartbreaking．Years of experience means that parents often do know best，but on the other hand，the young，being less bound by tradition，are often more creative，more able to find new solutions to old problems．Revolutions are led by the young．
Good teachers make the growth of critical （批判性的） thinking easier in their students，only to find that this can lead to a questioning of the teachers'basic beliefs．Schools encourage parents to become involved，but are often embarrassed when parents have reservations about some of the educational methods being used．Governments encourage unimportant groups to empower themselves in order to participate fully in the development process．And they are often surprised when the new leaders of these groups turn around and attack the policies of that same government．The rebellions （叛逆的）young and the newly unimportant groups are important in social development．They are not necessarily representatives of those   they want to represent or not realistic in their demands，but their voices must be heard．
Good parents know that just forbidding particular behaviors does not prevent their children from finding ways to engage in these forbidden activities．Indeed，sometimes the forbidden fruit is more inviting，just because it is not accepted by authority．Parents must work with their children to educate them on the facts，know as much as possible about the lives of their children，provide a good example，encourage more wholesome activities but also support their children when they don't follow what is expected of them．But the most important point is that they also need to learn how to let go．

61、By saying"Revolutions are led by the young"，the author indicates that young people are moreA．
A．creative         B．realistic        C．conventional      D．heartbreaking
62、From the second paragraph we knowD．
A．teachers'basic beliefs should be questioned by students
B．schools encourage parents to question their education methods
C．the government is satisfied with the new leaders'attack on the policies
D．the voice of the rebellious young should be heard by the government
63、In order to educate children well，parents shouldB．
A．forbid particular behaviors in their daily life
B．know them well and set a good example to them
C．educate them with facts and expect much of them
D．know as much as possible as their children
64、From the passage we can learn that the author prefersC．
A．free parenting    B．traditional parenting
C．smart parenting   D．critical parenting
65、What is the best title of the passage？A
A．Letting Go-for Children's Independent Life
B．Parents'Tasks-in Children's Development
C．Way of Growth-for the Young Groups

7．Your smart-phone（智能手機(jī)） can do a lot of things．It can call people．It connects to the Internet．It enables you to play fun games．But there is a dark side to this smart little device of yours-it might also spread disease．
"People are just as likely to get sick from their phones as from handles of the bathroom，"Jeffery Cain，the president of the American Academy of Family Physicians，told The Wall Street Journal．
This may be hard to believe，but scientists reached this conclusion after they tested eight random cell phones from an office in Chicago．All the tested phones showed high numbers of coli forms（大腸菌），a kind of bacteria found in excrement（糞便），with about 2，700 to 4，200 units of the bacteria on each phone．In drinking water，the healthy limit is less than 1 unit per 100 ml of water．This bacteria can cause flu，pinkeye（紅眼�。� and diarrhea（腹瀉）．That's right-your phone is covered with excrement!
Although computers，keys and pens all carry bacteria，our smart-phones get far dirtier．They touch a lot of stuff，including our pocket or purse．We take them almost everywhere：the bus，the subway and who hasn't played Angry Birds or Fruit Ninja while sitting on the toilet？
"Some things that we think are personal are actually more public than we imagine，"Cain said．
What's even worse is that after the phone returns from its dirty trip，it then spends most of its time covering our faces．Our noses，mouths and ears are all warm and rich in grease（油脂），an environment that bacteria really like．
Compared to traditional keypads，touch screens spread bacteria more easily to hands．According to Time magazine's website，an expert in Australia warned that playing with iPads and iPhones at Apple stores is a health risk．
 
26．The underlined word"dark"in the first paragraph meansD．
A．black        B．hopeless         C．unclear          D．unpleasant
27．Which of the following best describes the tone of the third paragraph？C
A．Angry．B．Interested．C．Concerned．D．Delighted．
28．By saying"Some things we think are personal are actually more public than we imagine"in Paragraph 5，Cain meant thatC．
A．people love to share their smart-phones more than they realize
B．our personal items could be as risky to our health as public items
C．smart-phones are used in public places more than people realize
D．most people don't know how dirty their cell phones are
29．Compared with traditional keypads，smart-phonesB
A．a(chǎn)re greasier and need more alcohol to clean
B．make contact with our hands more often
C．get warm more easily and are harder to clean
D．get much nearer to our faces
30．What is the article mainly about？B
A．Tips on the use of smart-phones．
B．Health problems caused by the use of smart-phones．
C．The danger of coli forms infection．
D．The influence that smart-phones have on our life．
