16.One often hears it said that travel broadens the mind.But does this always happen?
    When an acquaintance of mine returned from France,I asked him how he liked it."The breakfasts were terrible."he said,"No bacon or kippers.I had fried eggs and chips,but it was quiet a business getting them to make them."Obviously travel had not broadened his mind.He had judged it entirely from his own English viewpoints.
    All nationalities,in all foreign countries,can be found judging what they see,hear,taste and smell according to their own habits and customs.People who are better educated and who have read a lot about foreign countries tend to adapt and tolerate all easily.That is because their minds have already been broadened before they start travelling.
    Physical differences are not so difficult to be adapted to as mental ones.In Indonesia,the left hand is considered unclean.When a foreigner offers or takes something with his left hand,the Indonesian may explain this action as arising from a difference in custom,but the deep prejudice against the use of the left hand will not be so easilydone away with.
There are some travelers who adapt themselves so successfully to foreign customs and habits that they get the severe criticisms of their more stubborn fellow-countrymen.If they are Asians,they are accused of having become"Westernized",and if they are Europeans,people say they have"gone native".
Perhaps the ideal would be if travel could succeed m making people tolerate the habits and customs of others without abandoning their own.The criterion for judging a foreigner could be"Does he try to be polite and considerate to others?"instead of"Is he like me?

    A.the breakfasts are terrible in France
    B.the English style of life is better

分析 人为何要旅游?有人是为了开阔心胸,为了增长见识,为了实现"读万卷书,行万里路"的理想.但也有很多人去旅游似乎只为追逐时尚.他们名为"旅游使人心胸开阔",实 为日后的吹虚积攒谈资.深居城市并受商业气息侵蚀的人容易变得越来越浅薄,偶尔发现 不一样的事物就大惊小怪,进而"排除异己".他们算是"少见多怪"之人.真正有学问有 文化的人一般更具有包容性,他们常常"见怪不怪".这是两种不同的境界.

解答 66.C.推理判断题.根据文章第一段"One often hears it said that travel broadens the mind.But does this always happen"可知作者提到他的熟人的旅行显示旅行并不总是能开阔一个人的心灵;故选C.
67.A.细节理解题.根据文章第三段"People who are better educated and who have read a lot about foreign countries tend to adapt and tolerate all easily"可知受过良好教育的人是很容易适应国外的风俗习惯;故选A.
68.D.词义猜测题.根据文章第四段"the Indonesian may explain this action as arising from a difference in custom,but the deep prejudice against the use of the left hand will not be so easilydone away with"印尼可能解释这一动作是由于习惯上的差异,但对左手使用深层偏见不会轻易被带走,可知词义为摆脱;故选D.
69.B.细节理解题.根据文章第五段"There are some travelers who adapt themselves so successfully to foreign customs and habits that they get the severe criticisms of their more stubborn fellow-countrymen"可知那些成功地适应自己的人有时会批判文化;故选B.
70.B.推理判断题.根据文章第二段"Obviously travel had not broadened his mind.He had judged it entirely from his own English viewpoints"可知旅行开阔心灵有时没有意义;故选B.

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

7.Robotic PuppyRoll over,sit and fetch aren't commands normally given to a robot,but the smart toy company WowWee has developed a new way of owning a puppy.
CHIP (Canine Home Intelligent Pet) is a robotic dog with blue LED eyes and pointy ears and can sit,shake,dance and make all types of dog noises.It also has tracking capabilities to help locate its owner."The beauty about CHIP is that it has its own thing going on,"said Sufer,CTO at WowWee."It has its own life and own kind of intelligence.Even if you're not around,it's always doing something."
CHIP uses wheels to get around and is loaded with sensors(传感器) that give it a 360-degree view to find its ball.The pup is Bluetooth enabled,which connects to a wristband worn by its owner.The wristband,similar to a watch,displays icons(图标)for different commands such as a thumb-up,which allows you to give your pup a digital belly rub.With its owner wearing a smart wristband,it can even follow him around the room.
"We worked on CHIP for about five to six months,"Davin Sufer,told dailymail.com,"We typically come up with a concept,model and product and get it on shelves within a year."The company plans to start shipping units by next fall,which will allow them to load up the robotic dog with sensors and add many more animated responses per-owner interactivity.
The high-tech toy company made its debut(处女作)in 2004by releasing the 1.5foot RoboSapien,which sold millions of units.MiP,which hit shelves last year,is a seven inch tall robot covered in white with black accents.Users can direct it,change its emotions and make it dance to any song on your iPad.It's loud,fast and active.
About 15years ago,a company called ToyQuest developed the first ever electronic robotic dog---Tekno,the Robotic Puppy.The company sold over seven million units in the first season and 40million more during its original four years of production.Tekno was built with over 160emotions and instructions,but most importantly offered consumers a quick look into the future.

60.According to Sufer,the amazing characteristic of CHIP is thatD.
A.it is loaded with special sensors
B.it can make all kinds of dog noises
C.it has quick response to the commands
D.it can do something without instructions
61.CHIP can follow its owner with the help ofB.
A.a watch    B.a smart wristband    C.pointy ears   D.blue LED eyes
62.From the passage,we can knowC.
A.CHIP can be bought in the store now
B.WowWee introduced its first product last year
C.Tekno provided the bright future of the robotic puppy
D.MiP is the first company to develop the robotic puppy.
4.In America,drivers education is part of the regular high school curriculum.Every student in his or her second year of high school is required to(1)Ba class in drivers education.
However,unlike other(2)D,it is not given during the (3)C school year.Instead it is a summer course.The course is divided up into two parts:class time for learning laws and(4)B and driving time to practice driving.Class time is not unlike any other class.The students have a  (5)A from which they study the basic (6)A they must know to pass the written driving test that is given to anyone wanting to get a driver's  (7)C.
Driving time is a chance for the students to get behind the steering wheel and practice start,steering,backing up,parking,switching lanes,turning corners,and all the other operations (8)C to drive a car.Each student is required to drive a total of six (9)B.The students are divided up into groups of four.The students and the instructor go out driving for two-hour blocks of time.Thus,each student gets half an hour driving time per outing.The instructor and"driver"sit in (10)C seats and the other three students sit in the back.
Drivers ED cars are unlike other cars in which they have two sets of brakes,one on driver  side and one on the other side where the (11)Bsits.Thus,if the student driver should run into (12)A,the instructor can take over.The car also has another(13)D feature.On the top of the car is a sign that (14)A:STUDENT DRIVER.That lets nearby drivers know that they should use extra caution because the student driver is a beginning driver,not very experienced and intended to drive(15)D.

11."Mama!Mama!"My 2-year-old son yells at his most excited,I-just-discovered-something-huge voice when we are eating a delicious hot curry with steamed rice at our dinner table.
"Look,a tree!"He yells again.I turn to find him holding up a piece of broccoli (西兰花) for us to see."Oh honey,"I laugh and begin to protest,"That is bro…"But I stop.
As my son grows up,I find myself struggling not lo turn into the worst kind of teacher-the kind who overcorrects.
I have to learn to fight against my strong adult need to jump in and say,"No.that is not right."in the name of promoting knowledge.Unless I think his incorrect concept puts him in the way of harm,I have no desire to fix it.
Instead,I want to encourage my son's colorful sense of the world,in which stuffed (毛绒的) animals attend story times,flies are fascinating creatures,and red balloons share secrets.
    At our dinner table,I study the face of my child who is eagerly waiting for confirmation.He is smiling.His cheeks are a little flushed with excitement.
    Instead of taking the opportunity to teach him a new vegetable name.I say,"Wow,look!"pointing at his plate,"You have many trees in your rice!"
He laughs happily,his lovely face redder.
"So,how many trees can you eat?"I ask him,breaking in with another strong parenting desire I have:forming healthy eating habits.
He playfully puts one after another into his mouth,delighled by the possibility of pulling out the little trees that grow in his rice and eating them right off his plate.

1.I am a good mother to three children.I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe.I show up.I listen.I try to laugh.I am a good friend to my husband.I have tried to make marriage vows mean what they say.I am a good friend to my friends,and they to me.Without them,there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here's what I want to tell you today:Get a life.A real life,not a desire of the next promotion,the bigger paycheck,the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone.Find people you love,and who love you.And remember that love is not leisure (休闲),it is work.Pick up the phone.Send an email.Write a letter.And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives,our days,our hours,and our minutes.It is so easy to exist instead of to lie.I learnt to live many years ago.Something really,really bad happened to me,something that changed my life in ways that,if I had my choice,it would never have been changed at all.And what I learned from it is what,today,seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey,not the destination.I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it,completely and totally.And I tried to do that,in part,by telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this:Read in the backyard with the sun on your face.Learn to be happy.And think of life as a deadly illness,because if you do,you will live it with joy and passion (激情) as it ought to be lived.

8.Some people are calling it the greatest medical breakthrough so far this century.Surgeons in Spain have successfully carried out the world's first organ transplant using new stem cell technology.
But what are stem cells?Most cells in out bodies are designed to serve specific purposes-for example,a liver cell develops to work in the liver and cannot become a heart cell.
But stem cells are different.They are very young,and in the laboratory scientists can grow them into different types of cell.
Claudia Castillo needed a new windpipe after suffering from tuberculosis.Scientists from the  University of Bristol in the UK took a donor (捐献的) windpipe,from someone who had recently died.
They used strong chemicals to remove the donor's cells.This was done with cells from Ms  Castillo's windpipe and nose,and stem cells from her bone marrow.After four days the cells had grown sufficiently for the windpipe to be transplanted into Ms Castillo.
Currently,transplant patients have to take drugs for the rest of their lives to prevent their bodies  rejecting the new organs.These drugs can have bad side-effects,and do not always prevent rejection.
But by using Ms Castillo's own cells,doctors were able to trick her body into thinking the new windpipe was her own organ.Five months on,Claudia Castillo is in perfect health.
This ground-breaking procedure could be used in other transplant operations in the future.Scientists also believe stem cells might be used to treat Parkinson's disease,Alzheimer's disease,heart disease,stroke,arthritis,diabetes,burns and spinal cord damage.
However,stem cell research is extremely controversial.The most effective stem cells do not come from adults but from embryos (胚胎) created in laboratories and which are just a few days old.Many people have religious or ethical objections to growing embryos,even if they can be used to cure diseases.

66.The underlined word"it"in the first paragraph probably meansB.
A.the way to develop the stem cell
B.the first organ transplant with the new technology
C.a new technology that can cure all diseases
D.the discovery of a new stem cell
67.According to the text,stem cellsC.
A.are the most successful medical breakthrough
B.are not designed to serve special aims
C.can be developed into various cells
D.only come from donors
68.Which of the following is Not True about Claudia Castillo?D
A.Her operation had been done successfully.
B.Drugs were used in her transplant.
C.Her own cells were used in the transplant.
D.She was tricked by the scientists.
69.It can be inferred from the text thatA.
A.transplant operations could be widely used with time going on
B.drugs taken by transplant patients have few bad side-effects
C.most people are strongly against growing embryos
D.scientists believe stem cells are the best choice now
70.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?C
A.A Lucky Patient                    B.Stem Cell Research
C.The New Stem Cell Technology       D.Arguments Against Organ Transplant.
5.BEIJING-China's National Tourism Administration (NTA) said Saturday that 215Chinese tour groups in Japan were safe and sound after a devastating 8.8-magnitude earthquake jolted the country's eastern coast Friday.
A total of 4,578Chinese tourists were staying in Japan at the time of the quake.By Saturday noon,all the 215tour groups that they booked with had contacted domestic travel agencies,with no death or injury reported,said the NTA upon information from local tourism authorities.
The NTA has activated the emergency response system and issued a travel alert for Japan and countries along the Pacific Rim,it said in a statement on its website.
The NTA has also called for travel agencies to protect the security of Chinese tourists in Japan and keep in touch with the Chinese embassy and consulates in Japan,as well as China's tourism authorities.
Chinese tour agencies had started to bring back tourists from the quake-hit Japan and many trips had been called off.
China CYTS Tours,one of China's major travel agencies,had promised a full refund for trip cancellation and offered to bear the extra expense for tourist protection in disasters and unrest.
A massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake struck the east coast of Japan's main Honshu Island at 1:46pm Beijing Time Friday,which had triggered huge tsunami along Japan's Pacific coast and caused hundreds of deaths and catastrophic damage.

56.Where are we likely to find this passage?D
A.In a tour guided book.      B.In a geography book.
C.In a book.                  D.In a newspaper
57.In the first paragraph,the meaning of devastating isB.
A.catastrophic    B.destructive     C.tragic     D.disastrous.
58.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?D
A.In all,4,578Chinese were staying in Japan at the time of the quake.
B.Japan also called for travel agencies to protect the security of Chinese tourists.
C.215Chinese tour groups in Japan were organized by China CYTS Tours.
D.Earthquake-caused tsunami resulted in hundreds of deaths and disastrous damage.
6.Happiness is in your genes,it seems,according to a research that shows the more
people in a country who have a particular gene,the happier the nation will be.The FAAH gene,the DNA in question,makes a protein that affects feelings of pleasure and pain.
People with a particular version of it tend to be cheerier souls.
The researchers believe that the finding can help explain why some of the world's
poorest nations are also the happiest.The team from Bulgaria looked at whether there was a connection between the level of the FAAH gene in a population and the number of people who said they were very happy in the global study of life satisfaction.Sweden,one of the happiest countries in Europe and in the world,has lots of happy DNA.Some 26.3per cent of Swedes have the happiness gene,compared t0 23per cent of the British,21per cent of the French and 20per cent of Germans.The happiness gene is even rarer in southern Europe,where it is found in 18per cent of Greeks and just 12per cent of Italians.In contrast,the people in Iraq and Jordan are among the least likely to rate themselves as very happy and also have the lowest levels of the gene.
But the gene and optimism don-t always go hand in hand.For instance,Russians
score very low on happiness,despite having the right DNA,the Journal of Happiness
Studies reports.Climatic differences are also found to be closely associated with national differences in happiness.Study co-author Michael Minkov said,"We can notice the high occurrence of the gene in equatorial(赤道的) and tropical environments in South America and Africa,and the lower occurrence of it around the Mediterranean Sea than in Northern Europe."4'Genetics is not the only determining factor (因素)  of happiness,"A spokesman for the journal's publisher said,"The economic and political difficulties continuously experienced by Eastern European nations contribute to the very low happiness scores of Russians.Nations not blessed with the right DNA aren't necessarily miserable-happiness can still rise and fall for other reasons."
32.The underlined word"it"in Paragraph l refers toD.
A.happiness                          
B.life satisfaction
C.the protein in question               
D.the FAAH gene
33.Which country has the highest percentage of the happiness genes?C
A.Greece.B.Germany.C.Britain.D.Iraq.
34.What can we infer from the text?A
A.Climate has much to do with happiness.
B.The poorest countries are actually the happiest.
C,Genetics matters most to determine happiness.
D,Russians are not happy since they lack happy DNA.
35.The best title for the text isB
A.Researches on Genetic Science    
B.Factors to Affect Happiness
C.Reasons for National Differences    
D.The Happiest Countries.
