There was a very naughty boy in the nursery and a teacher who was generally very confident with the children was asked to take charge of him. One day the boy joined a session in the room next to mine. His appearance created an atmosphere of tension. He spent the entire session running around, hitting and kicking, and destroying property.
I was in the craft room working with some other children when my co-worker told me that this boy’s teacher was in tears, and could not get control of the situation. As we were talking, the boy ran in. I told my co-worker that I would take care of him.
I closed the door. He was full of energy, throwing things around and making a huge mess. But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me. He needed connection, and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it. So I sat back down and kept quiet. Then he slowed down and began making a rocket. I talked to him about it. We continued like this for a few minutes before I slipped into the conversation:
―So what happened today?‖
It was purely a question, no blame or anger in my tone. I believe that if I had criticized him, the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed. He told me that the teacher didn’t let him do what he knew well due to safety but asked him to do what he disliked. He also admitted that he had enjoyed making her run around and saw it as a game. I explained that his teacher had not seen it as a game and was very upset. This again was stated simply as a fact. I suggested that next time he had a session, he talk about what he hoped to do at the start, which might be easier for everyone. He agreed and was quiet for a moment. Then he looked at me with tears in his eyes before quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher to apologize.
51. The boy made trouble for his teacher because he ______.
A. was accused of destroying property
B. was told not to yell at other children
C. was made to do things against his will
D. was blamed for creating an air of tension
52. Why didn’t the author do anything about the boy’s bad behavior at first?
A. She didn’t want to make it worse.

C. She was tired of shouting and threats.
D. She hadn’t thought of a coping strategy.
53. The author managed to get the boy to talk to her by ______.

D. avoiding making critical remarks
54. Why did the boy have tears in his eyes in the end?

【文章大意】作者在本文中通过教育一个小男孩，让他认识到自己的错误告诉我们人与人之间需要的是沟通和理解。只有正确的沟通和理解才可以解决一切的问题。
51. 【答案】C 细节题。根据文章最后一段2,3行He told me that the teacher didn’t let him do what he knew well due to safety but asked him to do what he disliked.他告诉我们老师没有让他做他喜欢的事情，反而让他做了他不喜欢的事情。这才是他捣乱的原因。故C正确。
52. 【答案】A 推理题。根据文章第四段2,3,4行But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me. He needed connection, and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it. So I sat back down and kept quiet.

【长难句解析】1. Coming up against their behavior could only make the job harder and their behavior more extreme. I found something that worked, though.【翻译】违反他们行为的做法只会让这份工作更困难，让他们的行为更极端。然而，我找到了一些真正起作用的事情。【分析】第一句中的动名词短语Coming up against their behavior在句中充当主语，make the job harder中的形容词harder是形容词在句中充当宾语补足语。第二句中的though是副词―然而‖，在句中做状语，表示转折。
2. I believe that if I had criticized him, the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed.【翻译】我认为如果我之前批评他，刚刚慢慢打开的门会坚定地被关上。【分析】本句中的动词believe后面是一个that引导的宾语从句that if I had criticized him, the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed。因为这个宾语从句中有if引导的条件句，所以that是不能省略的。if I had criticized him这是宾语从句中的一个条件句。

B
In the mid-1950s, I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort. One day, this approach threw me into embarrassment
In Mrs. Totten’s eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数).
Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions.
Mrs. Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and walk toward the other end.
Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.
What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs. Totten made her way from the beginning of the class，I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldn’t function.
When Mrs. Totten reached my desk，she asked what answer I’d got for problem No. 14. ―I…I didn’t get anything,‖I answered，and my face felt warm.
―Correct,‖ she said.
It turned out that the correct answer was zero.
What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isn’t always what you say but how you say it that matters. Third，I would never make it as a mathematician.
If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one.
61. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate?
A. It is wise to value one’s time.
B. It is important to make an effort
C. It is right to stick to one’s belief.
D. It is enough to do the necessary.
62. Usually, Mrs. Totten asked her students to _______.
A. recite their homework together
B. grade their homework themselves
C. answer their homework questions orally
D. check the answers to their homework questions
63. The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always _______.
A. asked questions in a regular way
B. walked up and down when asking questions
C. chose two or three questions for the students
D. requested her students to finish their usual questions
64. The author failed to get the questions he had expected because _______.
A. the class didn’t begin as usual
B. several students didn’t come to school
C. he didn’t try hard to make his estimate
D. Mrs. Totten didn’t start from the back of the class
65. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A.An Unforgettable Teacher

C.An Effective Approach
D.A Valuable Lesson 【考点】考察文化教育类阅读

61. 【答案】D 解析】推理题。根据本句In the mid-1950s, I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort.可知我是一个不太爱学习的男学生，认为超过必要的事情都是浪费我的时间和精力。所以我不愿意去做一些我自己认为不必要的事情。故D正确。62. 【答案】C 【试题解析】推理题。根据文章第三段2,3行Mrs. Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets.可知Mrs. Totten通常都是在班级里的过道里走来走去，让学生来回答家庭作业，得出答案。
63. 【答案】A 【试题解析】推理题。根据文章3,4段She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and walk toward the other end.和Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer.可知老师经常从前面走到后面，或者从后面走到前面。我摸到了老师提问的规律，所以我可以根据自己的位置判断出自己应该回答的题目。故A正确。
64. 【答案】B 【试题解析】细节题。根据文章第6段第一行What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate.可知这次我没有预料到有几个同学缺席，没有来上课我搞不清楚自己应该回答哪一个问题了。故B正确。
65. 【答案】D 【试题解析】主旨大意题。本文在本文中叙述了自己在小时候总是认为不必要的事情不需要做，所以我会根据老师提问的规律来算着老师会提问自己的问题。但是一次数学课上老师提问的让我知道了很多事情都是我们必须做的，因为我们无法预料到会发生什么样的事情。这节课给了我一个很有价值的教训，故D项符合文章大意。
【长难句解析】1.In the mid-1950s, I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort.【翻译】在20世纪50年代中叶，我是一个有些厌世的无聊
【分析】本句中含有一个定语从句who believed that doing 的年轻学生，认为做那些不必要的事情是浪费时间。
any more than necessary was wasted effort解释先行词student的内容。同时划线句子的主语是动名词短语doing any more than necessary，单个的动名词做主语，谓语动词要使用单数形式。
2. Second, in real life it isn’t always what you say but how you say it that matters.【翻译】第二，在真正的生活中，重要的不总是你说的内容，而是你说话的方式。【分析】本句是一个强调句型，强调的是主语not what you say but how you say it；这个主语是由not…but…这个并列结构引起的。强调句的结构It is/was+被强调部分+that+句子的其他成分，如果被强调的部分是人，可以用who代替that。具体是用is还是was，要根据具体的时态确定。强调句的用法及判断，一般说来，如果把句子中的It is/was…that去掉，稍加调整语序，能还原成完整的句子，并且句子意思依然完整，则为强调句型，否则为其他从句，我们应熟记这些基本规则。

D
Everyone looks forward to progress, whether in one’s personal life or in the general society. Progress indicates a person’s ability to change the way he is living at the moment. Progress must lead a better way of doing things.All these, however, remains true only in so far as people want to accept technology and move forward by finding new and more efficient ways of doing things.
However,at the back of the minds of many people,especially those who the ―good old days‖, efficiency comes with a price. When communication becomes efficient,people are able to contact one another no matter where they are and at whatever time they wish to.The click of a button allows people miles apart to talk or to see each other without even leaving their homes. With the communication gadgets, such as mobile phones and ipads, people often do not take the effort to visit one another personally.A personal visit carries with the additional feature of having to be in the person’s presence for as long as the visit lasts. We cannot unnecessarily excuse ourselves or
turn the other person off.
With efficiency also comes mass production.Such is the nature of factories and the success of industrialization today.Factories have improved efficiency. Unskillful tasks are left to machines and products are better made and and produced with greater accuracy than any human hand could ever have done. However, with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss of the personal
Touch when making these products. For example, many handcrafts(手工艺品) are now produced in a factory. Although this means that supply is better able to increase demand, now that the supply is quick and efficient, the demand might fall because mass production lowers the quality of the handicraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item.
Nevertheless, we must not commit the mistake of analyzing progress only from one point of view. In fact, progress has allowed tradition to keep up. It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state. New technology is required for old products to stay old.
It is people’s attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has on society. Technology is flexible. There is no fixed wa y of making use of it. Everything depends on people’s attitude. The worst effects of progress will fall on those who are unable to rethink their attitudes and views of society. When we accept progress and adapt it to suit our needs, a new ―past‖ is created.
70. According to Paragraph 1, progress can benefit people when they are willing to _______.

B. using examples
C. following time order
D. making classification

A. lack great accuracy
B. lack the personal touch
C. are of high value
D. are quite welcome
74. What can be learned about technology from Paragraph 4?
A. It can destroy old traditions.
B. It can lead to social progress.
C. It can be used to correct mistakes.
D. It can be used to preserve old products.
75. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?

B
(Q = Question; A = Answer)
Situation I
Q: If someone sits right next to me in an empty movie theater, is it rude to move?

Travis is the manager of G&G where he is responsible for forty employees（雇员）and profits (利润) of over $2 million per year. He’s never late to work. He does not get upset on the job. When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her, Travis took her away. ―Your working uniform is your shelter,‖ he told her. ―Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you. You will always be as strong as you want to be.‖Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses, an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employee’s occupation. The training has, Travis says, changed his life. G&G has taught him how to live, how to focus, how to get to work on time, and how to master his emotions（情绪）.
Most importantly, it taught him willpower. At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all-important habit: willpower. Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for a person s success.
And the best way to st rengthen willpower is to make it into a habit. ―Sometimes it looks like people with great self-control aren’t working hard—but that’s because they’ve made it automatic,‖ Angela Duckworth, one of the University of Pennsylvania researchers said. ―Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it.‖The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to train employees on self-control. Managers wrote workbooks that serve as guides to how to make willpower a habit in workers’ lives. Tho se courses are, in part, why G&G has grown from a sleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than $10 billion a year.
33. We learn from Paragraph 2 that employees in G&G must . A.learn to give lectures B. attend education programs C. design a working uniform D.develop a common hobby
34. Willpower will become a habit when employees can . A. focus on the profits B. benefit
from the job C. protect themselves well D. control their feelings well
35. What can we infer from the passage?
A. G&G has grown into a large company.
B. G&G will spend half its profits training employees.
C.G&G may become more successful in the future.
D.G&G has to produce more workbooks for managers. 【考点】考察文化教育类阅读
【文章大意】本文通过G&G的培训课程告诉我们人的意志力是我们是否能够取得成功的关键。
33. 【答案】B 【试题解析】推理题。根据文章第二段1,2行Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses, an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employee’s occupation.可知G&G的培训课程在新员工入职第一天就开始了，而且在贯穿与员工的工作之中。也就是说G&G的员工都得参加这样的培训课程。故B正确。
34. 【答案】D 【试题解析】推理题。根据第三段1,2行And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit. ―Sometimes it looks like people with great self-control aren’t working hard—but that’s because they’ve made it automatic可知加强意志力最好的方法就是让意志力成为一种习惯。有时候有很强自我控制里的人工作并不努力，你是因为他们还没有把自我控制当成一种习惯。也就是说当人们能够很好地控制我们的感情时，我们就会让意志力成为习惯。我们就能表现得很好。故D正确。
35. 【答案】C 【试题解析】推理题。根据文章最后一段第一句The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to train employees on self-control.和最后一句Those courses are, in part, why G&G has grown from a sleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than $10 billion a year.可知这家公司在培训员工方面花了很多钱，而且也让公司发展得很好，也正是因为在员工培训方面的投入很大，所以他们可能在未来会取得更大的成功。故C正确。
【长难句解析】And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit.【答案】加强意志力最好的方法就是让意志力成为一种习惯。【分析】在本句中不定式的用法得到了充分的体现。本句中主语the best way后面有不定式to strengthen willpower作为定语来修饰这个名词，还可以使用the best way of strengthening willpower。另外本句中的表语to make it into a habit也是一个不定式，表示具体的一次性的行为。

The kids in this village wear dirty, ragged clothes. They sleep beside cows and sheep in huts made of sticks and mud. They have no school. Yet they all can chant the English alphabet, and some can make words. The key to their success: 20 tablet computers(平板电脑) dropped off in their Ethiopian village in February by a U.S. group called One Laptop Per Child.
The goal is to find out whether kids using today’s new technology can teach themselves to read in places where no schools or teachers exist. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers analyzing the project data say they’re already amazed. ―What I think has already happened is that the kids have already learned more than they would have in one year of ki ndergarten,‖ said Matt Keller, who runs the Ethiopia program.
The fastest learner—and the first to turn on one of the tablets—is 8-year-old Kelbesa Negusse. The device’s camera was disabled to save memory, yet within weeks Kelbesa had figured out its workings and made the camera work. He called himself a lion, a marker of accomplishment in Ethiopia.
With his tablet, Kelbasa rearranged the letters HSROE into one of the many English animal names he knows. Then he spelled words on his own. ―Seven months ago he didn’t know any English. That’s unbelievable,‖ said Keller.
The project aims to get kids to a stage called ―deep reading,‖ where they can read to learn. It won’t be in Amharic, Ethiopia’s first language, but in English, which is widely seen as the tick et to higher paying jobs.
62. How does the Ethiopia program benefit the kids in the village?
A. It trains teachers for them.
B. It contributes to their self-study.
C. It helps raise their living standards.
D. It provides funds for building schools.
63. What can we infer from Keller’s words in Paragraph 3?
A. They need more time to analyze data.
B. More children are needed for the research.
C. He is confident about the future of the project.
D. The research should be carried out in kindergartens.
64. It amazed Keller that with the tablet Kelbesa could _______.
A. learn English words quickly.
B. draw pictures of animals.
C. write letters to researchers.
D. make phone calls to his friends.
65. What is the aim of the project?
A. To offer Ethiopians higher paying jobs.
B. To make Amharic widely used in the world.
C. To help Ethiopian kids read to learn in English.
D. To assist Ethiopians in learning their first language. 【考点】考察文化教育类阅读
【文章大意】本文介绍了在非洲的Ethiopian进行的一项研究，通过使用平板电脑，孩子们学会了英语单词。文章仔细介绍了这个计划的具体信息。

63. 【答案】C 【试题解析】推理题。根据本段最后2行―What I thin k has already happened is that the kids have already learned more than they would have in one year of kindergarten,‖可知他的看法已经被证明了。孩子们学习的内容比预料的还多。说明他对中计划的未来是很乐观的。故C正确。
64. 【答案】A 解析:推理题。根据文章第五段With his tablet, Kelbasa rearranged the letters HSROE into one of the many English animal names he knows. Then he spelled words on his own. ―Seven months ago he didn’t know any English. That’s unbelievable,‖孩子们用平板电脑非常迅速地学会了拼写单词而且速度很快。A正确。65. 【答案】C 【试题解析】细节题。根据文章最后一段第一句The project aims to get kids to a stage called ―deep reading,‖ where they can read to learn.可知这个计划的目的就是让孩子进入一个深度学习的状态，让他们学会学习等。故C正确。

When I told my father that I was moving to Des Moines, Iowa, he told me about the only time he had been there. It was in the 1930s, when he was an editor in the literary magazine of Southern Methodist University （SMU）in Dallas, Texas. He also worked as a professor at SMU, and there was a girl student in his class who suffered from a serious back disease. She couldn;t afford the operation because her family was poor.
Her mother ran a boardinghouse in Galveston, a seaside town near Houston, Texas. She was cleaning out the attic（阁楼）one day when she came across an old dusty manuscript（手稿）. On its top page were the words, ―By O. Henry‖. It was a nice story, and she sent it to her daughter at SMU, who showed it to my father. My father had never read the story before, but it sounded like O. Henry, and he knew that O. Henry had once lived in Houston. So it was possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in the Gainestown boardinghouse, and had written the story there and left the manuscript behind by accident. My father visited an O. Henry expert at Columbia University in New York, who authenticated the story as O. Henry’s.
My father then set out to sell it. Eventfully, he foud himself in Des Moines, meeting with Gardner Cowles,
a top editor at the Des Moines Register. Cowles loves the story and bought it on the spot. My father took the money to the girl. It was just enough for her to have the operation she so desperately needed.
My father never told me what the O. Henry story was about. But i doubt that it could have been better than his own story.

One afternoon last week, I saw three tearful children from my son’s school being comforted by teachers. That morning, my 11-year-old had stomach pains, retching（干呕）into a bowl. Talking to other mothers later, I heard about other children with stomachache or difficult sleeping the night before.
What caused so much pain? Sports day. Sports day might be necessary at a highly-competitive
independent school, but not at a village primary school. For the children who can fly like the wind, sports day cause no problem. For those who are overweight or just not good at sport, it is nightmare（噩梦）. Even for those who enjoy running but fall halfway down the track in front of the entire school and their parents, it can prove a disease.
Why do we put our children through this annual suffering? Some may say competition is character building; or it’s taking part, not winning, that’s important; or that’s a tradition of school life. I just felt great pity for those children in tears or in pain.
Team games at the end of sports day produced some close races, wild enthusiasm, lots of shouting — and were fun to watch. More importantly, the children who were not so fast or quick at passing the ball were hidden a little from everyone’s eyes. Some of them also had the thrill of being on the winning side.
I wish that sports day could be abandoned and replaced with some other less competitive event. Perhaps an afternoon of team games, with a few races for those who want them, would be less stressful for the children and a lot more fun to watch.
57. What can we learn about the author’s son from Paragraph 1?
A. He talked with some mothers.
B. He comforted his classmates.
C. He had difficulty in sleeping.
D. He suffered from stomachache.
58. Sports day is still an annul event in this school probably because __________.
A. this is an independent school
B. it is a tradition of the school
C. it helps children lose weight
D. children enjoy watching sports
59. What does the author think about team games?
A. They should include more stressful races.
B. They are acceptable to different children.
C. They should be abandoned at primary school.
D. They are less fun for those who love running.
60. What is the author’s attitude towards sports day?
A. Critical.
B. Neutral.
C. Positive.
D. Ambiguous.

People aren’t wal king any more---if they can figure out a way to avoid it.
I felt superior about this matter until the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel. The journey is a matter of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I wasn’t in any hurry, either, I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness: motorosis.
It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune(免疫的), for I was bornd in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs. At that time, we regarded 25 miles as good day’s walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as sign of strength and skill. It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship. And the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old I raced –and beat—a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Stature of Liberty.
Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart. But a well-known British physician, Sir Adolphe Abrahams, pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly. And walking is an ideal form of exercise--- the most familiar and natural of all.
It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The man walking can learn the trees, flower, insects, birds and animals, the significance of seasons, the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world, He cannot learn in a car.
The car is a convenient means of transport, but we have made it our way of life. Many people don’t dare to approach Nature any more; to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat. To them security is a steel river thundering on a concrete road. And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.
I say that the green of forests is the mind’s best light. And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.
51. What is the national sickness?
A. Walking too much
B. Traveling too much
C. Driving cars too much
D. Climbing stairs too much.
52. What was life like when the author was young?
A. People usually went around on foot.

A. middle-aged people like getting back to nature
B. walking in nature helps enrich one’s mind
C. people need regular exercise to keep fit
D. going on foot prevents heart disease
54. What is compared to ―a steel river‖ in Paragraph6?
A. A queue of cars
B. A ray of traffic light
C. A flash of lightning
D. A stream of people

Passenger pigeons (旅鸽)once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers.
Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks (群)so large that they the sky for hours.It was calculated that when it population reached its highest point ,they were more than 3billlion passenger pigeons—a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati.
Sadly the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing. Where the birds were most abundant, people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands, Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.
By the closing decades of the 19th century ,the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by American’s need for wood, which scattered (驱散) the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and storms contributed to their decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again.
In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wi pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time , a few birds survived under human care. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1, 1914.
24. In the 18th and early 19teh centuries, passenger pigeons____.
A. were the biggest bird in the world
B. lived mainly in the south of America
C. did great harm to the natural environment
D. were the largest bird population in the Us
25. The underlined word ― undoing‖ probably refers to the pigeons’ ____.
A. escape
B. ruin
C. liberation
D. evolution
26. What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons?
A. To seek pleasure.
B. To save other birds.
C. To make money.
D. To protect crops.
27. What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?
A. It was ignored by the public.
B. It was declared too late.

The last confirmed wi pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900.可知虽然制定了法律，但是十年以后还没有看见成规模的很多的鸽子，说明这部法律的发行已经晚了。故B正确。【长难句解析】1.when it population reached its highest point ,they were more than 3billlion passenger pigeons—a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world.【翻译】当鸽子的数量到达顶峰的时候，有超过30亿只，这个数字是美国所有的鸟类的百分之20-40，让鸽子成为世界上数量最多的鸟。【分析】本节中获得when引导的是一个时间状语从句。同时句中的现在分词短语making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world充当的是结果状语，表示意料之中的结果。当鸽子的数量达到了30亿只，毫无疑问它是世界上数量最多的鸟。不定式做结果状语时，常常表示意料之外的结果。
2. In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years.【翻译】在1897年，密西根州通过了一项法律，禁止人们捕杀鸽子。但是十年以后在这个州也没有看见大规模的鸽群。【分析】本句中的现在分词短语prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons作为定语修饰名词a law；因为动词prohibite与名词a law之间构成主动关系，所以使用现在分词做定语。后半句中的by then中的by到…时，经常与完成时连用，如果与过去的时间连用，则使用过去完成时。本题中的then是过去的试卷，所以后面使用了had been。

As more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational , Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations _UNESCO and National Geographic among them—have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.
Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Centre Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal.
Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India , Nepal, Bhutan, and China . But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.
At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials-including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field notes—which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.
Now, through the two organizations that he has founded –the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project __Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, for the world available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.
32. Many scholars are making efforts to ______.
A. promote global languages
B. rescue disappearing languages
C. search for language communities
D. set up language research organizations.
33. What does ―that tradition’ in Paragraph 3 refer to ?
A. Having full records of the languages
B. Writing books on language teaching.
C. Telling stories about language users
D. Living with the native speaker.
34. What is Turin’s book based on?
A. The cultual studies
B. The documents available at Yale.
C. His language research in Bhutan.
D. His personal experience in Nepal.
35. Which of the following best describe Turin’s work?
A. Write, sell and donate.

Wealth starts with a goal saving a dollar at a time. Call it the piggy bank strategy(策略). There are lessons in that time-honored coin-saving container.
Any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps. I f you wished to climb a 12,000-foot mountain, and could do it a day at a time, you would only have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year. If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion, to collect the $15,000 cost, you have to save $3.93 a day. If you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $1,434 in a savings account at 1% interest rate after-tax, you will have your trip money.
When I was a child, my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that, if I wanted something, I should save money to buy it. We associate piggy banks with children, but in many countries, the little containers are also popular with adults. Europeans see a piggy bank as a sign of good fortune and wealth. Around the world, many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year’s Day brings good luck and financial success. Ah, but you have to put something in it.
Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving? Why not an elephant bank, which is bigger and holds more coins? In the Middle Ages, before modern banking and credit instruments, people saved money at home, a few coins at a time dropped into a jar or dish. Potters(制陶工) made these inexpensive containers from an orange-colored clay(黏土) called ―pygg,‖ and folks saved coins in pygg jars. The Middle English word for pig was ―pigge‖. While the Saxons pronounced pygg, referrin g to the clay, as ―pug‖, eventually the two words changed into the same pronunciation, sounding the ―i‖ as in pig or piggy. As the word became less associated with the orange clay and more with the animal, a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar in the shape of a pig, delighting children and adults. The piggy bank was born.
Originally you had to break the bank to get to the money, bringing in a sense of seriousness into savings. While piggy banks teach children the wisdom of saving, adults often need to relearn childhood lessons. Think about the things in life that require large amounts of money--- college education, weddings, cars, medical care, starting a business, buying a home, and fun stuff like great trips. So when you have money, take off the top 10%, put it aside, save and invest wisely.
41. What is the piggy bank strategy?
A. Paying 1% income tax at a time.
B. Setting a goal before making a travel plan.
C. Aiming high even when doing small things.
D. Putting aside a little money regularly for future use.
42. Why did the writer’s parents give him a piggy bank as a gift?
A. To delight him with the latest fashion.
B. To encourage him to climb mountains.
C. To help him form the habit of saving.
D. To teach him English pronunciation.
43. What does then underlined word ―something‖(Paragraph 3) most probably refer to?
A. Money
B. Gifts
C. Financial success
D. Good luck
44. The piggy ban originally was _________.
A. a potter’s instrument
B. a cheap clay container
C. an animal-shaped dish
D. a pig-like toy for children
45. The last paragraph talks about ________.
A. the seriousness of educating children
B. the enjoyment of taking a great trip
C. the importance of managing money
D. the difficulty of starting a business

【文章大意】作者在本文中介绍了the piggy bank strategy也就是存钱策略,并介绍了the pggy bank的起源和目的，号召人们都养成储蓄的好习惯。
41.D 推理题。根据文章第二段前3行If you wished to climb a 12,000-foot mountain, and could do it a day at a time, you would only have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year. If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion, to collect the $15,000 cost, you have to save $3.93 a day.作者一个这个例子告诉我们piggy bank strategy就是指每天都存一点钱以备未来之用。故D正确。
42.C 细节题。根据第三段第一句When I was a child, my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that, if I wanted something, I should save money to buy it.父母亲给我这个储蓄罐的目的是告诉我，如果想要得到某个东西，就要自己存钱来买。通过这个做法来养成存蓄的习惯。故C正确。
43.A 猜测词义题。根据本句Around the world, many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year’s Day brings good luck and financial success. Ah, but you have to put something in it.世界各地的人都认为储蓄罐是一个很好的能够带来好运和经济成功的礼物，但是条件是你要向里面放钱。因为储蓄罐就是用来养成存钱的习惯的，如果你不存钱，那就失去了价值。Something指mony。故A正确。
44.B 推理题。根据文章第四段2，3,4行people saved money at home, a few coins at a time dropped into a jar or dish. Potters(制陶工) made these inexpensive containers from an orange-colored clay(黏土) called ―pygg,‖ and folks saved coins in pygg jars.可知以前没有银行的时候，人们就是使用黏贴罐来存放零钱的，The piggy ban 就是最初的储蓄罐。故B正确。
45.C 段落大意题。根据本段前两句Originally you had to break the bank to get to the money, bringing in a sense of seriousness into savings. While piggy banks teach children the wisdom of saving, adults often need to relearn childhood lessons.储蓄罐不仅可以帮助孩子养成存钱的好习惯，而且对成年人也是有好处的。所以本段讲述的是储蓄罐的重要性。故C正确。
【长难句解析】When I was a child, my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that, if I wanted something, I should save money to buy it.【翻译】当我还是孩子的时候，我的父母亲就给了我的一个储蓄罐并教会我如果我想要某个地方，我就应该存钱来买它。【分析】本句中的when引导的是一个时间状语从句，后的主句中动词teach后面还有双宾语，其中的直接宾语是that, if I wanted something, I should save money to buy it，引导词that最好不省略。其中if引导的是一个条件状语从句。

Here is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.
In Brazil
Brazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hours—there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face communication over mails or phone calls.
In Singapore
Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency(效率) is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their
discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines both people interact in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.
In the United Arab Emirates
In the UAE, status is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is always set out or presented.
In Switzerland
The Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality (守时) is vital, something that comes from a deep respect for others’ time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected. The Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.
46. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. communication types
B. the workplace atmosphere
C. customs and social manners
D. living conditions and standards
47. Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?
A. They put efficiency in the first place.
B. They dislike face-to-face communication.
C. They want to finish meetings as quickly as possible.
D. They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.
48. In the UAE, when should you refuse the coffee if it is offered?
A. When greeting seniors.
B. When meeting the host alone.
C. When attending a presentation.
D. When dining with business partners.
49. In which country do people care about where to put their hands at the dinner table?
A. In Brazil.
B. In Singapore.
C. In the United Arab Emirate.
D. In Switzerland.

47.D 推理题。根据In Singapore部分中Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines both people interact in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank得知新加坡等级是很重要的，决定了在交流中人们应该如何行动，那么在交流时避免和老板争论是为了服从地位更高的人。故D正确。
48.B 细节题。根据In the United Arab Emirates部分中When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. 得知当你和主人单独相处时，你应该拒绝主人提供的咖啡。故B正确。

D
A city child’s summer is spent in the street in front of his home, a nd all through the long summer vacations I sat on the edge of the street and watched enviously the other boys on the block play baseball. I was never asked to take part even when one team had a member missing—not out of special cruelty, but because they took it for granted I would be no good at it. They were right, of course.
I would never forget the wonderful evening when something changed. The baseball ended about eight or eight thirty when it grew dark. Then it was the custom of the boys to retire to a little stoop(门廊) that stuck out from the candy store on the corner and that somehow had become theirs. No grownup ever sat there or attempted to. There the boys would sit, mostly talking about the games played during the day and of the game to be played tomorrow. Then long silences would fall and the boys would wander off one by one. It was just after one of those long silences that my life as an outsider changed. I can no longer remember which boy it was that summer evening who broke the silence with a question: but whoever he was, I nod to him gratefully now. ―What’s in those books you’re always reading?‖ he asked casually. ―Stories,‖ I answered. ―What kind?‖ asked somebody else without much interest.
Nor do I know what drove me to behave as I did, for usually I just sat there in silence, glad enough to be allowed to remain among them; but instead of answering his question, I told them for two hours the story I was reading at the moment. The book was Sister Carrie. They listened bug-eyed and breathless. I must have told it well, but I think there was another and deeper reason that made them to keep an audience. Listening to a tale being told in the dark is one of the most ancient of man’s entertainments, but I was offering them as well, without being aware of doing it, a new and exciting experience.
The books they themselves read were the Rover Boys or Tom Swift or G.A. Henty. I had read them too, but at thirteen I had long since left them behind. Since I was much alone I had become an enthusiastic reader and I had gone through the books-for-boys series. In those days there was no reading material between children’s and grownups’ books or I could find none. I had gone right from Tome Swift and His Flying Machine to Theodore Dreiser and Sister Carrie. Dreiser had hit my young mind, and they listened to me tell the story with some of the wonder that I had had in reading it.
The next night and many nights thereafter, a kind of unspoken ritual (仪式) took place. As it grew dark, I would take my pla ce in the center of the stoop and begin the evening’s tale. Some nights, in order to taste my victory more completely, I cheated. I would stop at the most exciting part of a story by Jack London or Bret Harte, and without warning tell them that that was as far as I had gone in the book and it would have to be continued the following evening. It was not true, of course; but I had to make certain of my new-found power and position. I enjoyed the long summer evenings until school began in the fall. Other words of mine have been listened to by larger and more fashionable audiences, but for that tough and athletic one that sat close on the stoop outside the candy store, I have an unreasoning love that will last forever.
55. Watching the boys playing baseball, the writer must have felt ________.
A. bitter and lonely
B. special and different
C. pleased and excited
D. disturbed and annoyed
56. The writer feels grateful even now to the boy who asked the question because the boy ________.
A. invited him to join in their game
B. liked the book that he was reading
C. broke the long silence of that summer evening
D. offered him an opportunity that changed his life
57. According to Paragraph 3, story-telling was popular among the boys basically because ________.
A. the story was from a children’s book
B. listening to tales was an age-old practice
C. the boys had few entertainments after dark
D. the boys didn’t read books by themselves
58. The boys were attracted to Sister Carrie because ________.
A. it was written by Theodore Dreiser
B. it was specifically targeted at boys
C. it gave them a deeper feeling of pleasure
D. it talked about the wonders of the world
59. Sometimes the writer stopped at the most exciting part of a story to _______.
A. play a mean trick on the boys
B. experience more joy of achievement
C. add his own imagination to the story
D. help the boys understand the story better
60. What is the message conveyed in the story?

B. Friendship is built upon respect for each other.
C. Reading is more important than playing games.
D. Adult habits are developed from childhood.
