13．Ask a group of elderly people what it was about their lives that made them happiest overall，and they'll probably mention some warm relationships with family and friends．If you're satisfied with your social life，according to psychologists，you tend to be satisfied with life in general．
From the point of my 50s，I'd say that sounds about right．Some of my happiest moments are the ones I spend with my husband，a few close relatives，and a handful of very good friends who know me well and like me anyway．But the more I read about how social media are interfering with （干擾） good old-fashioned friendship，creating virtual bonds that can't quite take the place of real ones，the more I wonder just how today's 20-somethings will look back on their own lives when they're my age．
After all，much crucial relationship building work is done in the 20s．According to research by the late Bernice Neugarten of the University of Chicago，who helped launch the academic study of human development，people choose most of their adult relationships，both friends and lovers，between the ages of 22and 28．The friends we make in our 20s are not only best friends forever； they're also our first truly chosen friends．And choosing how to commit to these friendships is an essential psychological task of the 20s．
But with so much of friendship in this age group now being developed online，an essential question is what the effect of that interaction is．A study，conducted in 2010by Craig Watkins and Erin Lee of the University of Texas at Austin，investigated the Facebook habits of 776young people between the ages of 18and 35．"Whether it is a wall post，a comment，or a photo，"they wrote，"young people's engagement with Facebook is driven，primarily，by a desire to stay connected to and involved in the lives of friends who live close by，far away，or have just entered into their lives．"
This kind of constant contact can be efficient，but it can also be upsetting．For one thing，it adds a new layer of concern to a young person's already-heightened awareness of social ranking，giving appearance-conscious young people yet another thing to worry about．"I see other 20-somethings feeling pressured to constantly keep up a public image，especially a public image online，"wrote Ariana Allensworth on the group blog．"Folks are always keeping the world informed one way or another about what they're up to，where they're at，what projects they're working on．It can be a bit much at times．"Not the most fertile ground for real-world friendship．

74．According to the passage，the 20s is an age for people toD．
A．have a good public image
B．keep themselves informed
C．look back on their own lives
D．develop critical relationships
75．Which of the following is a disadvantage of making friends onlineB？
A．It makes people pay less attention to social ranking．
B．It robs people of the happy moments spent with friends．
C．It keeps people away from their family and close relatives．
D．It prevents people from keeping in contact with their friends．
76．What was the aim of the study conducted by Craig Watkins and Erin LeeB？
A．To know about the 776young people's Facebook habits．
B．To find out how social media affect real-world social life．
C．To help young people stay connected to the lives of friends．
D．To investigate what kind of people prefer online interactions．
77．The author may agree thatC．
A．old-fashioned friendship can help create virtual bonds
B．there's no need for young people to make online friends
C．real-world friendship is a better choice for young people
D．online friendship is an inevitable trend in the modern world．

分析 本文屬于議論文閱讀，主要向我們講述了一項關于發(fā)現網上社交對人們的影響的調查，人們可以在網上取得聯(lián)系但是這些聯(lián)系卻不能使你們度過快樂的時光，因此可知網上社交網站不是現實中人際關系的好的選擇，我們不應該迷戀網絡．

解答 74．D   細節(jié)理解題．根據文章第三段"After all，much crucial relationship building work is done in the 20s．"可知很多關鍵的關系建立工作是在一個人20多歲時做的，故選D．
75．B   推理判斷題．根據第四段"This kind of constant contact can be efficient，but it can also be upsetting．"可知在網上人們可以取得聯(lián)系，但是有時這些聯(lián)系也是令人苦惱的，因為人們并不能真正在一起度過快樂時光，故選B．
76．B   推理判斷題．根據文章第四段"But with so much of friendship in this age group now being developed online，an essential question is what the effect of that interaction is"可知研究的目的是為了發(fā)現網上社交對人們的影響，故選B．
77．C  細節(jié)理解題．根據文章最后一段"Not the most fertile ground for real-world friendship．"可知網上社交網站不是現實中人際關系的好的選擇，故選C．

點評 做閱讀理解時要快速的瀏覽全文，把握文章主旨大意，帶著問題回到原文，尋找細節(jié)或概括相應的答案，最后要理清作者寫作思路．

After the college entrance examination，most students will face a seriously question：Should they choose a good major and a good university first？Some students preferred to consider majors first so that they can learn which they are interested in．This will make it possible for them to take their most favorite job in the future．Therefore，those who think differently believe that the learning environment is important and that graduates from a leading university is more likely to find good jobs．
In my opinion，the best choice is good major at a good university．If we cannot obtain all，the first thing to consider is a good major，because wherever they study，we can still achieve a lot in a certain field if we try our best．

1．Directions：Read the passage carefully．Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words．
Sociologists have long recognised that organisations of less than 200 ndividuals can operate through the free flow of information among the members．Once their size goes beyond this figure，the organizations are getting less flexible．So it seems necessary to prevent total disorder resulting from failures of communication．
One solution to this problem would，of course，be to structure large organisations into smaller units of a size that can act as a group．By allowing these groups to build reliance on each other，larger organizations can be built up．However，merely having groups of，say，150will never of itself be a complete solution to the problems of the organization．Something else is needed：the people involved must be able to build direct personal relationships．To allow free flow of information，they have to be able to communicate with each other in a casual way．Maintaining too formal a structure of relationships inevitably prevents the way a system works．
The importance of this was drawn to my attention two years ago by the case of a TV station．Whether by chance or by design，it so happened that there were almost exactly 150people in the station．The whole process worked very smoothly as an organization for many years until they were moved into purpose-built accommodation．Then，for no apparent reason，the work seemed to be more difficult to do，not to say less satisfying．
It was some time before they work out what the problem was．It turn out that，when the architects were designing the new building，they decided that the coffee room where everyone ate their sandwiches at lunch times was an unnecessary luxury and so did away with it．And with that，they accidentally destroyed the close social networks that strengthened the whole organization．What had apparently been happening was that，as people gathered informally over their sandwiches in the coffee room，useful information was casually being exchanged．
（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS．）
81．What size of an organization may lead to communication failures？Anorganizationofmorethan200individuals
82．What are the two solutions to the communication problem within a large organization？Structuringsmallerorganizationsandbuildingdirectpersonalrelationships．
83．After the TV station moved into new accommodation，its operationseemedtobemoredifficult/lesssatisfying．
84．From the case of the TV station，we can conclude it istheclosesocialnetworks/thefreeflowofinformation/thecausalcommunication that make（s） an organization more successful．

8．Forget Twitter and Facebook，Google and the Kindle．Television is still the most influential medium around．Indeed，for many of the poorest regions（地區(qū)）of the world，it remains the next big thing--finally becomes globally available．And that is a good thing，because the TV revolution is changing lives for the better．
Across the developing world，around 45% of families had a TV in 1995； by 2005 the number had climbed above 60%．That is some way behind the U．S．，where are more TVs than people，and where people now easily get access to the Internet．Five million more families in sub-Saharan Africa will get a TV over the next five years．In 2005，after the fall of the Taliban（塔利班），which had outlawed TV，1 in 5 Afghans had one．The global total is another 150 million by 2013--pushing the numbers to well beyond two thirds of families．
Television's most powerful effect will be on the lives of women．In India，researchers Robert Jensen and Emily Oster found that when TVs reached village s，women were more likely to go to the market without their husbands'approval and less likely to want a boy rather than a girl．They were more likely to make decisions over child health care．TV is also a powerful medium for adult education．In the Indian state of Gujarat，Chitrageet is a popular show that plays Bollywood songs with words in Gujarati on the screen．Within six months，viewers had made a small but significant（有意義的） improvement in their reading skills．
Too much TV has been associated with violence，overweight and loneliness．However，TV is having a positive influence on the lives of billions worldwide．

40．The underlined word"outlawed"in paragraph 2 probably means"B"．
   A．allowed          B．banned          C．offered            D．refused
41．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？D
A．Americans used to get access to the Internet easily．
B．The world's TV sets will total 150 million by 2013．
C.45% of families in the de veloping countries had a TV in 2005．
D．Over two thirds of families in the world will have a TV by 2013．
42．The author intends toA．
A．stress the advantages of TV to people's lives 
B．persuade women to become more independent 
C．encourage people to improve their reading skills 
D．introduce the readers some websites such as Google
43．What would be the best title for the passage？C
A．TV Will Rule the World                 
B．TV Will Disturb the World 
C．TV Will Better the World                
D．TV Will Remain in World．

2．What Is Today's American Dream
They may not have called it the American Dream，but for centuries people have gone to America in search of freer，happier，and richer lives．But is today's American Dream a mythical concept or still a reality？
Isabel Belarsky's tiny Brooklyn apartment fills with the sound of her father's voice．Sidor Belarsky sings an Aria in Russian and 90-year-old Isabel，her lips painted an elegant red，sways gently to the song coming from her stereo．
Isabel speaks with pride about her father's talent and his success as an opera singer：Albert Einstein was such a fan she says that he invited Sidor to accompany him on his speaking engagements and would ask him to sing to the audience．
How the Belarskys came to be in America is an extraordinary tale that Isabel loves to tell．It was the offer of a six-month job by a Mormon college president，who had seen Sidor singing in Leningrad，that enabled the Belarskys to escape from Stalin's Russia in 1930．"Our dream was being in America，"Isabel says．"They loved it．My mother could never think of Russia，it was her enemy and my father，he made such a wonderful career here．"
Like generations of immigrants before them，the Belarskys came to America in search of freedom-to them the American Dream meant liberty．But Isabel says it promised even more．"The dream is to work，to have a home and to get ahead．You can start as a janitor and become the owner of the building．"
The American Dream is not written into the constitution but it is so ingrained in the national psyche that it might as well be．Many point to the second sentence in the Declaration of Independence-the"certain unalienable rights"that include"life，liberty and the pursuit of happiness"as the"official"version of the phrase．But it was actually in 1931that the term was popularized，when historian James Truslow Adams wrote in The Epic of America that the Dream means"a better，richer，and happier life for all our citizens of every rank"．
The concept of the American Dream has not stayed static．For European immigrants，like Isabel，fleeing persecution in the first half of the last century，the Dream was about a life without persecution．
But somewhere in the middle of the last century the dream changed．As America's post war economy boomed，the new arrivals wanted more than freedom-they wanted a share of the prosperity as well．
In the 1950s，TV commercials featured housewives proudly showing off kitchens filled with gleaming appliances．The quest for liberation became a quest for Coca Cola．As the century wore on，the materialistic slant of the dream overtook the political side．Dallas and Dynasty suggested this was a country where it was possible to become not just rich，but filthily rich．
Cheyanne Smith was shocked at the deprivation that greeted her in America．She arrived in New York from the Caribbean seven years ago．Having watched endless American TV shows as a child，she thought she knew what to expect when her family moved to Brooklyn．Instead，the deprivation of one of New York's poorest neighbourhoods shocked her．
"I thought this is not America because this is not what I see on television，"she says．Like Cheyanne，18-year-old Franscisco Curiel is also ambitious．He came from Mexico City three years ago to go to college here but he's worried that Brooklyn's schools aren't going to give him a good enough education．"The system is broken； we can't get the superior education that they supposedly want to give us，"he says．
Through the centuries America's immigrants have endured terrible hardship and sacrifice so that they and their children can get ahead．Perhaps it's not surprising to hear the members of the Bushwick youth group lament the multiple，low paid jobs that their parents must do simply to get the rent paid and put food on the table．What is startling is that these bright，ambitious youngsters just don't believe that talent and hard work are enough to ensure they will ever have a shot at that mythical American Dream．

66．Why did the Belarskys come to the US according to the passage？A
A．To seek freedom．
B．To seek wealth．
C．To seek good education．
D．To seek a good job．
67．What is the meaning of"the materialistic slant of the dream overtook the political side"in Paragraph 9？C
A．The American Dream means both material success and political freedom．
B．The American Dream means material success rather than political freedom．
C．The American Dream means more material success than political freedom．
D．The American Dream means more political freedom than material success．
68．What is Cheyanne Smith and Franscisco Curiel's attitude toward American Dream？B
A．Hopeful．  B．Disappointed．  C．Optimistic．  D．Neutral．
69．What can we know about the Bushwick youth group according to the last paragraph？B
A．They feel grateful that their parents did low paid jobs to raise the family．
B．They doubt that talent and hard work will make them realize their American Dream．
C．They have endured great hardship and sacrifice．
D．They are willing to do the low paid jobs to help pay their education．
70．What can be inferred from the passage？B
A．The American Dream is deeply-rooted in the national psyche．
B．The concept of the American Dream has gone through changes throughout the time．
C．American Dream is still firmly believed by the majority of the immigrants．
D．The concept of American Dream will remain unchanged in the next two decades．

3．London has already hosted the Olympics twice before and the 2012 Olympics will make it the first city in history to have held three Olympic games．
The first London Olympics in 1908
These games were going to be held in Rome but，because of a volcano，Rome wasn't ready．London agreed to stage the games and the White City Olympic Stadium was built in just 10 months．What was new at these Olympics was the opening ceremony where athletes paraded（列隊行進） with their teams behind their national flags．Only 22 countries took part and the profits were just over￡21，000!
The second London Olympics
Because of the Second World War，the 1944 Olympics were cancelled．Four years later the war was over and London was able to hold the Games in 1948．Things were very different in London during these Olympic Games and many years of war had left the UK poor and hungry．People called them the"Austerity Games"．But there were still some great sports and some exciting events!
59 countries took part，more than at any other Olympics before and the USA won the most medals with 84．For the first time，cameras filmed the games and broadcast them on television so that people could watch them in their own homes．
