2.I remember my mother as a strong woman.She came to America when she was 12-old enough to remember her language,she achieved scores and grades high enough to be admitted to Duke University.With a degree in computer science,she finally became the manager of a company in New York.My mother could give fluent speeches,say"wolves"correctly.
It was my mother who always stressed the importance of language.From the time I was born,I was read to.I would fall asleep to the sounds of my parents'voices,whether it was my dad's softly accented,or my mother's clear English.The flow of language was unbroken,and whether in Chinese or English,the stream of communication flowed through our house.
One October morning in sixth grade,after my mother had left to catch the train to the city,I left the house for the bus stop.I was surprised when I saw our car,the door hanging open.As I drew closer,I saw my mother lying on the ground.
In the hospital,it was hard to believe that the lady who lay before me was my mom.My mother could not remember my name.As the leaves changed colors,it became clear that the stroke had created a wall between my mother's mind and mouth:her mind was not any less clear,but the words she spoke were not what she meant.
The battle my mother faced taught me the importance of language.Without it,identity does not exist; relationships cannot be formed; stories cannot be told; directions cannot be given,and knowing anything about anyone is impossible.Without language,communication cannot take place.Without language,one cannot express the beauty of a sunset or the kindness of a stranger.The world would pass us by in silence.

41.From where might the author's mom come to AmericaA?
A.China
B.England
C.Russia
D.Canada

A.a(chǎn)n accident
B.a(chǎn) hit
C.a(chǎn)n illness        
D.a(chǎn) robbery

B.the importance of language
C.a(chǎn) family disaster
D.the significance of teaching language.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 社會(huì)文化類是英語(yǔ)閱讀中常見的題材,掌握該類的英語(yǔ)閱讀理解技巧十分重要.主旨大意題在歷史文化類文章中是?嫉念}型.解答這類試題的英語(yǔ)閱讀理解技巧:1.讀首句抓大意.文化教育類閱讀理解文章多采用說(shuō)明文、議論文體裁,而這類文章大都采用文章段落的中心,即主題句在文章開頭.因此,要尋找這類文章的主旨大意就需要研究文章的首句. 2.讀尾句抓大意.有時(shí)這類文章的主題句安排在文章的結(jié)尾,作為對(duì)全篇的總結(jié). 3.讀首段抓大意.有些文章或段落的開頭和結(jié)尾部分都有主題句.這種結(jié)構(gòu)是為了突出主題思想而使用兩次點(diǎn)題的寫作方法.這兩個(gè)主題句在句子結(jié)構(gòu)和用詞上有所不同,而且在內(nèi)容上前句和后句也不重復(fù). 4.從段落中抓大意.有些文章或段落的主題句在文章中,這種文章或段落往往以一句話或幾句話引出要表達(dá)的主題,在主題句出現(xiàn)后,再舉例子陳述細(xì)節(jié)或繼續(xù)論證. 5.歸納要點(diǎn)抓大意.有些文章或段落無(wú)明顯的主題句,只是暗示性地體現(xiàn)主題.這就要求同學(xué)們?cè)陂喿x過(guò)程中根據(jù)文中所敘述的事實(shí)或線索來(lái)概括總結(jié)主旨大意.

12.You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator.When you choose to be a victim,the world is a cold and difficult place."They"did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering."They"are wrong and bad,and life is terrible as long as"they"are around.Or you may blame yourself for all your problems,thus internalizing(內(nèi)化)your victimization.The truth is,your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.
Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently.They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives,but they don't let this get in the way.They know they have their weaknesses,yet they don't blame themselves when they fail.Whatever happens,they have choice in the matter.They believe their dance with each sacred(神圣的)moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.
Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities,yet their experience of life is worlds apart.Victims relish (沉溺)in anger,guilt,and other emotions that cause others---and even themselves---to feel like victims,too.Creators consciously choose love,inspiration,and other qualities which inspire not only themselves,but all around them.Both victims ad creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.
In reality,all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives.One person,on losing a job or a special relationship,may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months,years,or even a lifetime.Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief,then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.
In every moment and every circumstance,you can choose to have fuller,richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within,and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.

41.What does the word"they"in Paragraph 1probably refer to?A

13.Many adults enjoy a cup of coffee to have extra energy on a sleepy morning,and astronauts are  no exception.But having a drink in space isn't as easy as it is on the earth.You have to come up  with a whole new way to drink,and that's what scientists are trying to do.
"The coffee would be very hard to control in a normal cup,"said physics professor Mark Weislogel."You'd have to shake the cup toward your face and hope that some of the hot liquid floats toward your mouth.When it comes to guessing what liquids will do in new systems,we are often in the dark."
     Weislogel believes that creating a big zero-gravity cup would help improve the lives of  astronauts in space,so he and other researchers per formed a series of experiments with liquids on the International Space Station (ISS) to see how they move upwards on surfaces in zero gravity.
     In one of the tests,they placed two surfaces very close together to create a very narrow tunnel.They  wanted to see if liquid would easily flow up the tunnel.In another test,the researchers tried to figure out the best angle to place the narrow tunnel at so that the liquids would travel along the corners.
      The end result is a cup that doesn't look like a normal coffee cup at all.One side of the cup has a very sharp angle and,in zero gravity,the liquid naturally"flows"up that angled side of the cup,right up to the drinker's lips.
      The zero-gravity coffee cup is currently being tested on the ISS by astronaut Don Pettit,who worked with the researchers and helped them invent it."As you sip  (啜飲),more liquid keeps coming,and you can enjoy your coffee in a weightless environment-clear down to the last drop,"said Pettit,who thinks that future humans on Mars will be using this kind of cup to drink during celebrations!
61.We can learn from Paragraph l thatA.
A.a(chǎn)stronauts have difficulty drinking Coffee in space
B.coffee drinks in the morning can make astronauts sleepy
C.a(chǎn)stronauts drink coffee in the same way as on the earth
D.scientists have made coffee in zero gravity successfully
62.The underlined sentence in Para.2 may mean"C"
A.rooms in the Space Station lack light
B.scientists can't see anything in the dark
C.scientists know little about it
D.coffee can be drunk in the dark
63.What do we know about Weislogel's cup?D
A.It looks like a very narrow tunnel.
B.Each of its sides has a sharp angle.
C.It is the same as the normal cup we are using.
D.The liquid in it will flow to the drinkers itself.
64.According to Pettit,we can learn the coffee cup isA.
A.practical                              B.weightless
C.shapeless                              D.a(chǎn)wkward
65.What is the main idea of the passage?B
A.When humans will drink coffee on Mars.
B.How humans will drink coffee in zero gravity.
C.How experiments lead to unexpected patents.
D.When a normal cup can be used in space.

10.Shi Jianfei is a college student at Beijing Information Science and Technology University.He met with an academic problem during the summer vocation but it took him a lot determination to finally approach his professor to solve the problem.To his surprise,the meeting turned out to be quite pleasant.
But only few students turn to their professors to ask for advice in solving problems or discuss academic topics with them.According to an investigation of 2,636college students conducted by MyCOS,a Beijing-based consultancy (咨詢公司),more than a third of them contact their,professor less than once a year.
Although most students and teachers are willing to communicate with each other,it seems that an effective communication system is absent.Shi says,"Communication usually takes place in class or between classes,because it's difficult to get in touch with professors at any other time.University professors always look very busy."
However,from the teachers'perspective,students are too cautious about communicating with professors."They're worried about asking questions for they think they may leave a bad impression,"says Du Xiguang,professor of chemistry at Northeast Normal University.Du created a QQ group in which students can discuss various issues with him,ranging from academic topics to personal problems."I find they are very talkative in this group.But if they talk to me in person,they're shy and nervous,"he says.
Wu Qian,22,an English major at Tsinghua University admits that when she meets with  problems she prefers talking to her classmates and upper-classmen."I think many students are too shy and passive,myself included.I feel more comfortable communicating with my classmates,"she says.
Du also says that the shyness of many students to a change lies in different teaching styles.In primary school,Chinese students get used to talking with their teachers because they're like"nannies"who not only teach,but also watch out for their students'personal development.
"In college,such communication isn't compulsory any more and students aren't pushed to discuss their ideas with professors,"says Du."The real problem is that students aren't yet ready to engage in adult conversation with professors.Some of them just expect professors to explain facts and help them prepare for exams,like in high school."

55.What does Paragraph 2talk about?B
A.The reason why the communication is little.
B.The present situation of communication.
C.The background of the phenomenon.
D.The details of the phenomenon.
56.What's the real reason why Shi Jianfei didn't turn to his professor for help immediately meeting with an academic problem?C
A.An effective communication mechanism is absent.
B.It's difficult to get in touch with professor.
C.He is too shy and passive.
D.Communication isn't compulsory any more.
57.The underlined word"nannies"is closest in meaning toA.
A.nurses         B.gardeners         C.friends          D.leaders
58.In which way does the author present the passage?D
A.By giving some dialogues between students and teachers
B.By giving some specific examples of students and teachers
C.By interviewing different students and teachers
D.By listing some facts and opinions of students and teachers.

17.People are being lured (引誘) onto Facebook with the promise of a fun,free service without realizing they're paying for it by giving up large amounts of personal information.Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages.
Most Facebook users don't realize this is happening.Even if they know what the company is up to,they still have no idea what they're paying for Facebook because people don't really know what their personal data is worth.
The biggest problem,however,is that the company keeps changing the rules.Early on,you keep everything private.That was the great thing about facebook-you could create your own little private network.Last year,the company changed its privacy rules so that many things-your city,your photo,your friends'names-were set,by default (默認(rèn)) to be shared with everyone on the Internet.
According to Facebook's vice-president Elliot Schrage,the company is simply making changes to improve its service,and if people don't share information,they have a"less satisfying experience".
Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money.Its original business model,which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page,totally failed.Who wants to look at ads when they're online connecting with their friends?
The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington.In April,Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy.He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites."I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,"Schrage admits.
I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy is only the beginning,which is why I'm considering deactivating(撤銷) my account.Facebook is a handy site,but I'm upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don't know.That's too high a price to pay.

31.What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?C
A.It is a website that sends messages to targeted users.
B.It makes money by putting on advertisements.
C.It profits by selling its users'personal data.
D.It provides loads of information to its users.
32.What does the author say about most Facebook users?B
A.They are reluctant to give up their personal information.
B.They don't know their personal data enriches Facebook.
C.They don't identify themselves when using the website.
D.They care very little about their personal information.
33.Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?A
A.To provide better service to its users.
B.To follow the Federal guidelines.
C.To improve its users'connectivity.
D.To expand its scope of business.
34.What does Senator Charles Schumer advocate?C
A.Setting guidelines for advertising on websites.
B.Banning the sharing of users'personal information.
C.Formulating regulations for social-networking sites.
D.Removing ads from all social-networking sites.
35.Why does the author plan to cancel his Facebook account?C
A.He is dissatisfied with its current service.
B.He finds many of its users untrustworthy.
C.He doesn't want his personal data abused.

7.It is,perhaps,no accident that many of the outstanding figures of the past were amazingly  versatile men.Right up until very recent times,it was possible for an intelligent person to be familiar with almost every branch of knowledge.Thus,men of genius like Leonardo da Cinci or Sir Philip Sidney,engaged in many careers at once as a matter of course.Da Vinci was so busy with his numerous inventions,that he hardly found the time to complete his paintings; Sidney,who died in battle when he was only thirty-two years old,was not only a great soldier,but a brilliant scholar and poet as well.Both these men came very near to fulfilling the Renaissance (文藝復(fù)興) ideal of the‘universal man',the man who was expert at everything.
Today,we rarely,if ever,hear that a musician has just invented a new type of space rocket.Knowledge has become divided and subdivided into countless,narrowly-defined fields.The specialist is respected; the versatile person,far from being admired,is more often regarded with distrust.The modern world is a world of highly-skilled‘experts'who have had to devote the greater part of their lives to a very limited field of study in order to compete with their fellows.
With this high degree of specialization,the frontiers of knowledge are steadily being pushed back more rapidly than ever before.But this has not been achieved without considerable cost.The scientist,who outside his own particular subject is little more than a fool,is a modern phenomenon; as is the man of letters who is hardly aware of the rapid progress that has been made in technology.Similarly,specialization has indirectly affected quite ordinary people in every walk of life.Many activities which were once pursued (追求) for their own sakes,are often given up in despair:they require techniques,the experts tell us,which take a lifetime to master.Why learn to play the piano,when you can listen to the world's greatest pianists in your own drawing-room?
Little by little,we are becoming more and more separate from each other.It is almost impossible to talk to your neighbor about his job,even if he is engaged in roughly the same work as you are.The Royal Society in Britain includes among its members only the most admirable scientists in the country.Yet it is highly confusing to find that even here,as one of its fellows put it,at an academic(學(xué)術(shù)的) lecture only 10% of the members can understand 50% of what is being said!

57.The underlined expression"versatile men"refers toC.
A.highly-skilled specialists   B.brilliant scholars
C.talented people              D.a(chǎn)dmirable scientists
58.According to the passage,if da Vinci and Sydney lived in the modern world,D.
A.they would enjoy a better reputation
B.people would look up to them in amazement
C.they might have made greater achievements
D.they might not be truly appreciated by people
59.By quoting"at lecture only 10% of the members can understand 50% of what is being said",the writer wants to show that the high-degree specializationD.

12.Learning to study is not difficult.The first thing to remember is that you must be willing to learn.It doesn't mean that you must always like the subject.It does mean,however,that you must be willing to learn whatever is necessary.Try to understand why it is important and how it will help you now and later.Knowing mathematical facts will be useful in your whole life.Knowing how to spell words makes any kind of writing easier.Sometimes the subject that you think is going to be uninteresting and it will be attractive when you began to work on it.Learning things can be fun if you can try your best.
Here's some advice for you:have a certain time each day and a quiet place with good lighting for study,so that you can concentrate on your study without interruptions.Have everything ready before you sit down to study,a dictionary,paper,a pen and books.Be sure you understand what you should learn before you start.Read carefully and pay special attention to the most important things.When memorizing,find out the main parts and then recite the whole thing.Check your homework after you finish it.Never forget the importance of review and preview.
