4.Riding a London subway,a person from China will notice one major difference:In London,commuters (乘車上下班的人) do not look at each other.(71)CThat's not rudeness-people are just too busy to bother looking.
Busy doing what,you ask?Well,they're certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet reflection.Nor are they reading a book.(72)BToday the only acceptable form of book on the London Underground is an e-book.
(73)DSince the launch of the iPhone in 2007,over 40,000-yes,that's 40,000-"apps"(programs downloaded for the iPhone) have been designed.
Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-filler.One"app",called iShoot,is a game that features tanks.Another one,Tube Exits,tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination.ISteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone.(74)E
For those without an iPhone,another Apple product,the iPod,may be the distraction of choice.It's not just teenagers who"plug in"to their music-iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages.
And if games,e-books and music aren't enough to keep you occupied.Then perhaps you would prefer a film?The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV show or film on the way to work.
(75)F

A.Modern Londoner are fancy victims.
B.New technology has replaced quiet habits.
C.In fact,eye contact is avoided at all times.
D.Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters.
E.You can then write the"steam"on your phone screen.
F.Technology is changing the way London commuters spend their traveling time.
G.With this distraction,it's amazing that people still remember to get off the train.

分析 本文主要講述的就是在倫敦坐地鐵的人總是忙于使用自己的手機(jī),I pad等來看書,聽音樂,玩游戲等等.以此來告訴我們新的技術(shù)正在改變?nèi)藗兌冗^旅行時(shí)間的方法.

解答 71.C.本題考查前后句子的聯(lián)系,根據(jù)前面的一句commuters  do not look at each other在倫敦,人們乘坐地鐵時(shí)是不看對方的;后面一句That's not rudeness-people are just too busy to bother looking.也可以印證C項(xiàng)的觀點(diǎn)人們總是避免了眼神的交流;故選C.
72.B.本題考查前后句子的聯(lián)系,前面提到他們既不安靜地坐在那里,也不讀書,后面提到電子書才是他們的首選,所以B項(xiàng)談到的是新科技帶給人們的變化.故選B.
73.D.本題考查前后句子的聯(lián)系,本段描述的是蘋果手機(jī)帶給人們生活的變化,所以D項(xiàng)可以概括本段的內(nèi)容;故選D.
74.E.本題考查前后句子的聯(lián)系,上一句ISteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone說朝手機(jī)上呼氣可以在屏幕上留下霧狀的形狀,所以你可以在手機(jī)屏幕上寫下字跡;故選E.
75.F.本題考查前后句子的聯(lián)系,上一段描述了手機(jī)帶來的各種消遣時(shí)間的方式,所以這是科技改變了人們旅行時(shí)消遣時(shí)間的方式;故選F.

點(diǎn)評 對于這種題型要搞明白上下文之間的邏輯關(guān)系,要根據(jù)對話者所說的語氣及語義關(guān)系來做出判斷;只要符合文章的結(jié)構(gòu)、通順合理即可.

15."My work is done."Those words were some of the last penned by George Eastman.He included them in his suicide note.They mark an ignoble end to a noble life,the leave taking of a truly great man.The same words could now be said for the company he left behind.Actually,the Eastman Kodak Company is through.It has been mismanaged financially,technologically and competitively.For 20 years,its leaders have foolishly spent down the patrimony of a century's prosperity.One of America's bedrock brands is about to disappear,the Kodak moment has passed.
But George Eastman is not how he died,and the Eastman Kodak Company is not how it is being killed.Though the ends be needless and premature,they must not be allowed to overshadow the greatness that came before.Few companies have done so much good for so many people,or defined and lifted so profoundly the spirit of a nation and perhaps the world.It is impossible to understand the 20th Century without recognizing the role of the Eastman Kodak Company.
Kodak served mankind through entertainment,science,national defense and the stockpiling of family memories.Kodak took us to the top of Mount Suribachi and to the Sea of Tranquility.It introduced us to the merry old Land of Oz and to stars from Charlie Chaplin to John Wayne,and Elizabeth Taylor to Tom Hanks.It showed us the shot that killed President Kennedy,and his brother bleeding out on a kitchen floor,and a fallen Martin Luther King Jr.on the hard balcony of a Memphis motel.When that sailor kissed the nurse,and when the spy planes saw missiles in Cuba,Kodak was the eyes of a nation.From the deck of the Missouri to the grandeur of Monument Valley,Kodak took us there.Virtually every significant image of the 20th Century is a gift to posterity from the Eastman Kodak Company.
In an era of easy digital photography,when we can take a picture of anything at any time,we cannot imagine what life was like before George Eastman brought photography to people.Yes,there were photographers,and for relatively large sums of money they would take stilted pictures in studios and formal settings.But most people couldn't afford photographs,and so all they had to remember distant loved ones,or earlier times of their lives,was memory.Children could not know what their parents had looked like as young people,grandparents far away might never learn what their grandchildren looked like.Eastman Kodak allowed memory to move from the uncertainty of recollection,to the permanence of a photograph.But it wasn't just people whose features were savable; it was events,the sacred and precious times that families cherish.The Kodak moment,was humanity's moment.
And it wasn't just people whose features were savable; it was events,the precious times that familes cherish.Kodak let the fleeting moments of birthdays and weddings,picnics and parties,be preserved and saved.It allowed for the creation of the most egalitarian art form.Lovers could take one another's pictures,children were photographed walking out the door on the first day of school,the person releasing the shutterdecided what was worth recording,and hundreds of millions of such decisions were made.And for centuries to come,those long dead will smile and dance and communicate to their unborn progeny.Family history will be not only names on paper,but smiles on faces.
The cash flow not just provided thousands of people with job,but also allowed the company's founder to engage in some of the most generous philanthropy in America's history.Not just in Kodak's home city of Rochester,New York,but in Tuskegee and London,and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.He bankrolled two historically black colleges,fixed the teeth of Europe's poor,and quietly did good wherever he could.While doing good,Kodak did very well.Over all the years,all the Kodakers over all the years are essential parts of that monumental legacy.They prospered a great company,but they-with that company-blessed the world.
That is what we should remember about the Eastman Kodak Company.
Like its founder,we should remember how it lived,not how it died.
History will forget the small men who have scuttled this company.
But history will never forget Kodak.

55.According to the passage,which of the following is to blame for the fall of Kodak?B
    A.The invention of easy digital photography
    B.The poor management of the company
    C.The early death of George Eastman
    D.The quick rise of its business competitors
56.It can be learnt from the passage that George EastmanD.
    A.died a natural death of old age.
    B.happened to be on the spot when President Kennedy was shot dead.
    C.set up his company in the capital of the US before setting up its branches all over the world.
    D.was not only interested in commercial profits,but also in the improvement of other people's lives.
57.Before George Eastman brought photography to people,B.
    A.no photos has ever been taken of people or events
    B.photos were very expensive and mostly taken indoors
    C.painting was the only way for people to keep a record of their ancestors.
    D.grandparents never knew what their grandchildren looked like.
58.The person releasing the shutter (Paragraph 5)was the oneA.
    A.who took the photograph
    B.who wanted to have a photo taken
    C.whose decisions shaped the Eastman Kodak Company
    D.whose smiles could long be seen by their children
59.What is the writer's attitude towards the Eastman Kodak Company?B
    A.Disapproving   B.Respectful     C.Regretful      D.Critical
60.Which do you think is the best title for the passage?C
    A.Great Contributions of Kodak     B.Unforgettable moments of Kodak
    C.Kodak Is Dead                    D.History of Eastman Kodak Company.

9.(51)G.She described all the things she had to do-one was to make her bed-from the moment she woke up until she flew out of the door for work.I suggested she experiment by not making her bed for two weeks.She was shocked,probably thinking I'd been raised by wolves in a forest.(52)D.
Two weeks later she went into my office beaming.She had left her bed unmade for the first time in 42years-and nothing bad had happened."And you know what?"she said."I don't dry my dishes anymore,either."
(53)A.One was discovering that she had choices in her life that she had never seen before.The other was giving herself permission to be less that perfect.This story shows an important principle (原理) about managing time:No one can do it all.Each of us has to make choices and accept trade-offs.The problem is,many people choose in ways that put themselves and their health last.They take better care of their houses and cars than they do of themselves.(54)C.
So what is the solution?There's an easy way.Decide what you want in your life,and put that first.On a daily basis,that should include regular meals,enough sleep and time with your family.Exercise,leisure,friendships and hobbies should also be regular aspects of life.(55)F.The choice is yours:whatever makes you feel good about yourself and your life.Take a nap.Take a walk.Take time to play the piano.Stop bringing your briefcase home from the office.Stop keeping your house as clean as your mother kept hers.Fill more of your time with want-to-dos instead of have-to-dos.

A.This woman had made two major breakthroughs (突破).
B.Above all,you needn't do anything for yourself regularly.
C.They put everyone else's needs ahead of their own.
D.However,she went along with my idea.
E.Most people do not take time to relax themselves.
F.The point is to do something for yourself every day.
G.A patient came to see me about the stress in her life.

13.Autumn blues?Let the sunshine in.
Falling leaves,withering flowers,cold winds,faint sunshine.(71)FSpirits can be low.
People who suffer from"the autumn blues"often are extremely exhausted,lack energy,need more sleep,feel increased appetite and gain weight.
"The exact cause of this condition,often called seasonal depression or seasonal affective disorder (SAD),is not known yet,"says Chen Jue,associate professor at Shanghai Mental Health Center."But recent studies indicate that weather change is influential and strongly suggest that this condition is caused by changes in the availability of sunlight."
One theory is that with decreased exposure to sunlight,the biological clock that regulates mood,sleep,and hormones is delayed,running more slowly in winter.(72)A.Another theory is that brain chemicals that transmit information between nerves may be altered (改變)in individuals with SAD.It is believed that exposure to light can correct these imbalances.
"(73)C Remember,spring always lives in your heart,"Chen says.
Here are some tips to deed with autumn depression.
•Go outdoors and get some sunlight.Move around.Fresh air and exercise improve the respiratory(呼吸)system and blood circulation and regulate the nervous system.Thus,exercise is calming and relieves one's mood.
•Relax at work.Stretch,breathe deeply.Take a tea break.Think of your next vacation.
•(74)_E Chocolate and sugar raise the spirits.
•Look at bright colors,such as red and orange.Color therapy improves mood.
•Listen to your favorite music.You can dance to it,or just lie on a cozy couch,reading a novel.
•(75)BBlooming plants are cheering.
•Call friends or family when you feel lonely or depressed.Recall some happy memories.

A.Exposure to light may reset the biological clock
B.Decorate your room and work space with flowers.
C.It is a sad season,but you can try to make it happy.
D.That is the way you can use to lighten yourself.
E.Keep a chocolate bar in your pocket.
F.For many people late autumn can be a season of gloom and depression (抑郁).
G.Autumn always gives us a beautiful scene.
