41-45：CBDAC

42．B；考查動詞辨析．收藏家沒有將小提琴賣給購琴心切的Fritz Kreisler，他應該會感到很失落，所以應選disappointed．故選B．

4．Many of you should not own dogs．It's that simple．The reason is that，if you own a dog，you must train a dog，and many dog owners out there，it is safe to say，have little or no control over their dogs，because they do not train them．
Strong words？Maybe．But they are simple，honest words，as untrained dogs living in residential neighborhoods bark at will，run loose，and visit and damage neighboring properties with their owners'blessings as they deliberately （故意） let them run．
Take note of the fact that you，the dog owner，cannot control your dog，causing a continual nuisance （麻煩事） that damages the quality of life in your neighborhood．There's nothing more annoying to most people than a dog that barks and nothing more confusing than trying to understand the deficient （有缺陷的） mentality of the dog owner who allows his dog to do so．After all，the irresponsible dog owner hears the barking too，and so those who must put up with it are continually left wondering-what are they thinking，are they deaf？
Many dog owners believe it is not possible for their dog to be trained，an indication that the owners themselves lack self-discipline，and most likely have never really tried to apply discipline to other issues in their lives，not with consistency，or that they are simply lazy and inattentive to their own adult responsibilities at the expense of others．
Irresponsible dog owners，though，do train their dogs．A dog is a reflection of its owner．Whatever a dog does （run loose，hark at will，jump on guests entering the front door，soil neighboring lawns） is a result of the decisions of the owner．The choice not to do something is indeed a choice．
The good news is that with mere consistency，a dog can be trained rather quickly，in a couple of weeks if the owner takes his responsibility seriously．Again，that process will be a reflection of the owner's behavior，and the primary ingredient （要素） in that behavior is not allowing the dog，not even once，to repeat the bad behavior without consequences when told and directed not to．You can stop your dog from barking with simple firm voice commands，direct eye contact，and force of will in a relatively short time，provided you arc consistent and a reasonably mature person．
Dogs，what's more，love this training because pleasing you，their owner，is what they are all about．The upshot （結(jié)果，要點） will be that you have a more connected relationship with your dog，a better dog that is suited to its environment．

56．Which is NOT the reason for dog owners to have little or no control over their dogs？B
A．They are lazy and unwilling to train their dogs．
B．They think their dogs can act well without training．
C．They lack self-control over many issues in daily life．
D．They don't give enough attention to their responsibilities．
57．What's the author's attitude towards owners of untrained dogs？D
A．Curious
B．Unclear
C．Supporting
D．Disapproving
58．This article is mainly written toA．
A．call on dog owners to train their dogs
B．instruct dog owners how to train dogs
C．sing high praise for responsible dog owners
D．a(chǎn)nalyze the relationship between dog owners and their dogs
59．It can be concluded from the passage thatC．
A．responsible dog owners can put up with dogs'barking
B．irresponsible dog owners deliberately train their dogs to do something wrong
C．wither a dog can be trained properly may depend on the dog owner's behavior
D．we should not own dogs because they can damage the quality of our daily life．

19．One way people are responding to food safety concerns is by growing their own food．However，not everyone lives on property with enough space for a private plot．One solution is community gardens，which have become popular worldwide，numbering 18，000 in North America alone．In addition to providing low-cost，delicious food，these public spaces offer cities a range of other benefits．
Community gardens are located in a town or city and tended by local residents．Often，the land is on a vacant lot owned by the city．The site is divided into manageable plots，which may be tended by individuals or by the garden's members collectively．Since the land is usually publicly owned，the cost for gardeners to lease it is minimal．In fact，New York City，which is home to more than 750 community gardens tended by more than 20，000 members，charges people just $1 a year to lease a plot．Other costs involve soil，tools，seeds，fencing，and so on．However，because they're shared by many people，individual gardeners pay very little．
A community garden can quickly pay off，in terms of delicious fruits and vegetables，in addition to beautiful flowers．Excess produce can be sold for a profit at farmers markets．But a garden's benefit don't stop there．They also beautify cities，foster strong relationships among residents，and lower an area's crime rate．Award-winning spaces like London's Culpeper Community Garden even attract tourists．Beautiful and affordable，community gardens are often described as oases in crowded cities．
 
56．Community gardens are designed for those whoA．
A．a(chǎn)re concerned about food safety
B．live in a house with a private plot
C．can't afford to buy organic food
D．don't have their own property
57．New York CityC．
A．is owned by 20，000 individual gardeners
B．charges residents a lot to lease tools and fencing
C．contains more than 750 community gardens
D．is tended by professional gardeners and local residents
58．What's the benefit of community gardens？B
A．People can enjoy safe and delicious vegetables and animal meat．
B．Residents are more familiar and related with each other．
C．The neighborhood is becoming safer but of lower taste．
D．People can make some profits from the visiting tourists．
59．The underlined word"oases"is closest in meaning toC．
A．cultural and art centers
B．popular platforms for exchanges

6．Usain Bolt says he intends to defend his Olympic 100m and 200m sprint （短跑） titles at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games．The Jamaican，who kept both titles as well as the 4×100m in London，said he has decided against switching to either the 400m or long jump．
"To do the three sprints，that is the focus．I don't want to try any different events at Rio，"he said．"I'll just defend my titles to show the world there's a possibility I can do it again．"He insisted he had no intention of easing off in his training．
Bolt，who also holds the 100m and 200m world records，said he aimed to run even faster in the year of 2013，during which the World Championships will be held in Moscow．He added："It's all about hard work．When I was doing great when I was young，people used to say I was fast for my age，but I have put a lot of work into it since I was a senior athlete．I continue to work hard，continue staying focused and pushing myself．I'm sure I can go faster each year．So for me the focus right now is to see how fast I can go．"
Bolt became the first man to keep both Olympic sprint titles in a time of 19.32 seconds in the 200m in London in August，with Yohan Blake in silver and Warren Weir in bronze．It came after he had seen off Blake's challenge to win the 100m in 9.63 seconds，just 0.05 seconds slower than his own world record，in what was a new Olympic best．
Speaking after he had completed his second Olympic sprint treble （三連勝），Bolt had cast doubt on his participation in the events in Rio when he said："My coach wants me to do 400m，but I want to try long jump．It's just about making different goals．There are a lot of things I can do in the sport．"

A．Bolt has a clear sense of direction

57．From what Bolt says in the third paragraph we can infer thatD．
 A．he is too proud of himself
B．he is modest but stubborn
 C．he looks down on other athletes
D．he is hard-working and confident
58．What is the 100m world record according to the passage？A

6．The question of what children learn，and how they should learn，is continually being debated and redebated．Nobody dares any longer to defend the old system，the learning of lessons parrot-fashion，the grammar-with-a-whip system，which was good enough for our grandparents．The theories of modern psychology have stepped in to argue that we must understand the need of children．Children are not just small adults； they are children who must be respected as much．
Well，you may say，this is as it should be，a good idea．But think further．What happens？"Education"becomes the responsibility not of teachers，but of psychologists．What happens then？Teachers worry too much about the psychological implications of their lessons，and forget about the subjects themselves．If a child dislikes a lesson，the teacher feels that it is his fault，not the child's．So teachers worry whether history is"relevant"to modern young children．And do theydare to recount stories about violence？Or will this make the children themselves violent？Can they tell their classes about children of different races，or will this encourage racial hatred？Why teach children to write grammatical sentences？Spoken expression is better．Sums？Arithmetic？No：Real-life mathematical situations are more understandable．
You see，you can go too far．Influenced by educational theorists，who have nothing better to do   than to write books about their ideas，teachers leave their teacher-training colleges filled with grand，psychological ideas about children and their needs．They make elaborate，sophisticated （精致的，復雜的） preparations and try out their"modern methods"on the long-suffering children．Since one"modem method"rapidly replaces another the poor kids will have well been fed up by the time they leave school．Frequently the modem methods are so sophisticated that they fail to be understood by the teachers，let alone the children； even more often，the relaxed discipline so essential for the"informal"feelings the class must have，prevents all but a handful of children from learning anything．

31．People do not dare defend the old system mainly because under the old systemD．
A．too much grammar was taught to children
B．children were spoiled （寵壞）
C．children were treated as grown-ups
D．children were made to learn passively（被動的）
32．What view do the modem psychologists hold？A
A．Children must be understood and respected．
B．Children are small adults and know what they need．
C．Children are better off without learning lessons．
D．Education of children is the responsibility of psychologists．
33．What happens when teachers pay too much attention to the psychology of their lessons？C
A．They find that the children dislike the lessons．
B．They tend to blame students for their failure．
C．They do not pay enough attention to the actual lessons．
D．They no longer want to teach children history．
34．Grammatical sentences are regarded as unimportant becauseB．
A．it is better to use verbs only
B．words are said out of natural feelings only
C．talkin freely and naturally without sentences is a better form of expression
D．it is felt that formal grammar rules might cause unnatural expressions
35．According to the passage，the modern methods are understood byA．
A．neither teachers nor pupils
B．only a handful of teachers and pupils
C．the more sophisticated teachers
D．everyone who enjoys the relaxed discipline of the informal classes．
