6．In March 2012，researchers in the United States announce that they have developed the first wirelessly controlled device that can supply a drug directly into the body．A small chip is implanted under the skin．It contains the medicine，which it releases at preset（預(yù)先設(shè)定的）times．
The developers say the device could improve the lives of millions of people who take medicine for long-term illnesses．
A company called MicroCHIPS began developing the device about fifteen years ago．Last month，the company released the results of its first successful tests in humans．The tests took place in Denmark with seven women with osteoporosis．
Osteoporosis causes bones to become weak and break easily．The disorder is common among older people，especially women．Many patients have to give themselves daily injections of medicine．One type of treatment requires injections for two years．
Robert farra is the president of MicroCHIPS．He says many patients stop taking the medicine because of the pain and stress of the injections and that only twenty-five percent of the patients will go through the entire twenty-four months of treatment．
The microchip is a few centimeters long．It has small sections that each hold a single dose（劑量）of medicine．Mr．Farra says the device has to be programmed with the times to release the drug and that doctors will be able to reprogram the device from a computer or even a cell phone．
The seven women in the study were aged sixty-five to seventy．The researchers say the implants were just as effective as daily injections．And they say the dosage amounts were more exact than patients often give themselves．
The microchips in the study held only twenty doses of medicine．Mr．Farra and his team are now designing a version that could hold a full year's worth of medicine．
Robert Farra says，"The new version may take us two years，and then we may be required to do two additional trials，taking about four years before the device is available on the commercial scale．"

71．Which of the following about the new device is right？D
A．It is of great use to all patients．
B．It is the first Microchip in the world．
C．It can cure long-term illnesses completely．
D．It can release medicine regularly as preset．
72．According to Paragraph 4，we knowB．
A．osteoporosis is believed to be a deadly disease
B．patients who suffer osteoporosis may easily break their bones
C．whoever suffers osteoporosis has to get daily injections
D．the only treatment of osteoporosis is injections for at least two years
73．Which of the following is TRUE？D
A．The seven women participants all got over the disease after the test．
B．The company MicroCHIPS began developing the device in about 1998．
C．the test with the women took seven years．
D．It may be six years before the device is put to commercial use．
74．Which is NOT the advantage of the device？C
A．It can release exact amount of medicine．
B．It can free patients the pain and stress of injections．
C．it held only twenty doses of medicine．
D．It is as effective as daily injections．
75．Which may be the best title of the passage？A
A．Taking medicine with a microchip under the skin
B．A successful test with seven women
C．Microchips are very useful
D．A new treatment of osteoporosis．

分析 文章介紹了一項發(fā)明是用芯片將藥物注入到患者的皮膚下．可以定期的給病人一些劑量的藥物，這項發(fā)明會改變很多人的生活．

解答 71．D．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第一段"A small chip is implanted under the skin．It contains the medicine，which it releases at preset（預(yù)先設(shè)定的）times"可知新設(shè)備是用芯片將藥物注入到患者的皮膚下．可以定期的給病人一些劑量的藥物；故選D．
72．B．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第四段"Osteoporosis causes bones to become weak and break easily"可知患有骨質(zhì)疏松癥的患者可能會折斷他們的骨頭；故選B．
73．D．推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章最后一段"The new version may take us two years，and then we may be required to do two additional trials，taking about four years before the device is available on the commercial scale"可知新產(chǎn)品投入使用還需要六年時間；故選D．
74．C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段"The microchips in the study held only twenty doses of medicine．Mr．Farra and his team are now designing a version that could hold a full year's worth of medicine"可知心設(shè)備的缺點是只可以使用而是計量；故選C．
75．A．主旨大意題：從文章第一段的句子：Researchers in the United States have developed the first wirelessly controlled device that can supply a drug directly into the body．A small chip is implanted （植入） under the skin．可知這項發(fā)明是用芯片將藥物注入到患者的皮膚下．故選A．

點評 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．

1．Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good，most would admit that their spoken English is poor．Whenever I speak to a Chinese student，they always say，"My spoken English is poor．"（21）E．I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English．
First，they fail to find suitable words to express themselves because of a limited vocabulary．（22）C．However，you can speak with a limited vocabulary，if you choose a positive attitude．Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know．
（23）F．Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous．Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY．Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly．However，in speaking your aim is fluency．You want to make yourselves understand，to talk to someone in English，as quickly and as well as you can，even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense，but it doesn't matter．（24）A．
Third，not enough attention is paid to listening．You have one mouth but two ears!All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking．
Fourth，most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners．Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor．（25）D．

A．The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears．
B．They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time．
C．Obviously the better answer is to expand（擴大）their vocabulary．
D．If you have this proactive outlook，then you will see English opportunities wherever you go．
E．However，their spoken English does not have to remain"poor"!
F．Second，they are afraid of making mistakes．
G．The second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned．

11．Many people would interpret"The American dream"as"living like an American"-a two-story house with a white picket fence； a family with two cars； and two children．
However，the economic situation is now affecting the American way of life for 4.4 million people living in the US，according to new census （人口普查） data．"It's going to have a long-term impact and to say it's going to end is optimistic，"says Cheryl Russell，former editor-in-chief of American Demographics magazine．"I'm more pessimistic that this is the new normal．"
So what is the new normal？
*Marrying later．The average age of the first marriage has increased to 28.7 for men and 26.7 for women，up from 27.5 and 25.9 respectively in 2006．At the same time，fewer people are getting married．If the marriage rate had stayed the same as in 2006，there would have been about 4 million more married people in 2010．
*Fewer babies．There were 200，000 fewer births among women aged 20 to 34 in 2010 compared with two years before．This was despite the fact that the number of women of childbearing age had gone up by more than 1 million．"The recession（衰退） is the likely cause，"says Kenneth Johnson，demographer at the University of New Hampshire's Carsey Institue，"Economic fertility （生育能力）"because women delay …in uncertain times．
*Breaking up is harder．The number of divorces has been falling for 25 years as people wait longer or choose to live together before they get married．There were about 65，000 fewer divorces in 2010 than in 2008，a 7 percent decrease．
*Crowd living．Unemployment is forcing more people to live together．The number of households where people lived with"other relatives"climbed from 6.7 percent in 2006 to 7.2 percent in 2010．
*Going public．Private school enrollment decreased from 13.6 percent in 2006 to 12.8 percent in 2010．
*Fewer cars．The percent age of households without a car rose to 9.1 percent against 8.8 percent in 2006．The percent-age of households with two or more cars fell from 58 percent to 57.1 percent．
*Driving solo．When people are not working，they don't carpool．The proportion of people aged 16 to 64 in employment dropped greatly in all but one of the 50 largest metropolitan （大城市的） areas．That has helped push the share of people driving to work alone from 76 percent in 2006 to 76.6 percent in 2010．Ride-sharing is down a full percentage point，to 9.7 percent．
61．What is the article mainly about？C
A．The interpretation of"the American dream"．
B．The significance of the current economic crisis．
C．Changes to the American lifestyle．
D．The traditional American way of life．
62．What might Cheryl Russell agree with according to the article？D
A．A traditional lifestyle is much better and healthier．
B．The new study based on the members'financial reports．
C．The spirit of American dream will inspire Americans to get through the economic recession．
D．American lifestyles are being reshaped and will continue to change
63．What are the characteristics of the future American lifestyle？A
a．Delayed marriage．
b．A lower divorce rate
c．Increased car ownership．
d．An increase in private school enrollment．
e．Having children later
A．a(chǎn)be           B．a(chǎn)ce          C．bde          D．bce  
64．Which of the following statements is TRUE？C
A．The typical US family is expected to have three-story house with a big yard and two children．
B．The US birth rate rose slightly in 2010 compared with two years before．
C．A growing number of people are forced to share their homes with other relatives in the US．
D．US students prefer to go to private schools rather than pubic schools．
65．Why do more and more Americans drive solo to work in recent years，according to the passage？B
A．Because they don't like carpool．
B．Because more and more people are out of work．
C．Because the share of people driving to work alone is increasing．
D．Because the proportion of people aged 16-64 in unemployment dropped greatly．

18．If you know exactly what you want，the best way to get a job is to get specialized training．A recent survey shows that companies like graduates in such fields as business and health care who can go to work immediately with very little on-the-job training．
That's especially true of booming fields that are challenging for workers．At Cornell's School of Hotel Administration，for example，bachelor's degree graduates get an average of four or five job offers with salaries ranging from the high teens to the low 20s and plenty of chances for rapid advancement．Large companies，especially，like a background of formal education coupled with work experience．But in the long run，too much specialization doesn't pay off．Business，which has been flooded with MBAs，no longer considers the degree an automatic stamp of approval．The MBA may open doors and command a higher salary initially，but   the effect of a degree washes out after five years．
As further evidence of companies gradually losing faith in specialized degrees，Michigan State's Scheetz mentions a pattern in hiring practices．Although companies tend to take on specialists as new hires，they often seek out generalists for middle and upper-level management．"They want someone who isn't constrained（限制）by details to look at the big picture，"says  Scheetz．This sounds like a formal statement that you approve of the liberal-arts （文科）graduates．Time and again labor-market analysts mention a need for talents that liberal-arts majors are assumed to have：writing and communication skills，organizational skills，open-mindedness and adaptability，and the ability to analyze and solve problems．David Birch，manager of the Boston Red Sox，claims he does not hire anybody with an MBA or an engineering degree，"I hire only liberal-arts people because they have a less-than-canned way of doing things，"says Birch．
For a liberal-arts degree，students focus on some basic courses that include literature，history，mathematics，economics，science，human behavior-plus a computer course or two．With these useful and important courses，you can feel free to specialize，"A liberal-arts degree coupled with an MBA or some other technical training is a very good combination in the marketplace，"says Scheetz．

61．What kinds of people are in high demand on the job market？C
A．Students with a bachelor's degree in humanities．
B．People with an MBA degree from top universities．
C．People with formal schooling plus work experience．
D．People with special training in engineering
62．By saying"…but the effect of a degree washes out after five years"（Para 2），the author meansB．
A．most MBA programs fail to provide students with a solid foundation
B．a(chǎn)n MBA degree does not help in the future promotion
C．MBA programs will not be as popular in five years'time as they are now
D．people will not forget about the degree the MBA graduates have got
63．According to Scheetz's statement （ Para.3），companies prefer people whoA．
A．have a strategic mind 
B．a(chǎn)re talented in fine arts
C．a(chǎn)re ambitious and aggressive
D．have received training in mechanics
64．David Birch claims that he only hires liberal-arts people because theyA．
A．a(chǎn)re more capable of handling changing situations
B．can stick to established ways of solving problems
C．a(chǎn)re thoroughly trained in a variety of specialized fields
D．have attended special programs in management
65．Which of the following statements does the author support？D
A．Specialists are more expensive to hire than generalists．
B．Formal schooling is less important than job training．
C．On-the-job training is，in the long run，less costly．
D．Generalists will do better than specialists in management．

9．Parents whose children show a special interest in a sport feel very difficult to make a decision about their children's careers．Should they allow their children to train to become top sports men or women？For many children it means starting schoolwork very young，and going out with friends and other interests have to take a second place．It's very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train five hours a day，even at the weekend，when most of his or her friends are playing．
       Another problem is of course money．In many countries money for training is available from government for the best young sportsmen and sportswomen．If this help can not be given，it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and the money to support their child's development and sports clothes，transport to competitions，special equipment，etc．All can be expensive．
       Many parents are worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early age．Some doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly developed．Professional trainers，however，believe that it is only by training young when young that you can reach the top as a successful sports person．It is clear that very few people do reach the top，and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training．
49．Where can we most probably find this passage？C
A．An advertisement
B．A diary．
C．A newspaper
D．A notice board．
50．What does the underlined phrase"to take a second place"in the first paragraph mean？A
A．To become less important．
B．To put it at another place．
C．To happen again．
D．They are the most important of all the things．
51．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage？C
A．It's easy to make a decision when your children want to take up sports．
B．Most of the students may become top sports men after a long period of training．
C．Early training may damage young muscles
D．It's not very expensive for parents to support their children's development in sports．
