12．For most families，a long car journey is the bane of any trip．But for the Zapps，their 83-year-old vehicle has been a home for the past 11 years，as the couple travel around the world on a never ending trip of a lifetime，covering 142，000 miles over four continents．
Herman and Candelaria Zapp，who got married to each other in 1996 and to their journey in 2000，set off from Patagonia，Argentina，heading for Alaska．They came back to Argentina in 2004，but settled there only for a couple of weeks，before deciding the open road is the only way to live．They have been traveling ever since，with a trip around South America between 2005 and 2007，then central America，the U．S．and Canada until 2009．The car was shipped to Australia，New Zealand，Japan and South Korea as they traveled those countries and they are currently in the Philippines on a tour of South East Asia．
As a proof that life is possible in such a mobile style，the family of the two slowly grew to a number of six．They became，over the years and while on the road，parents to four children，Pampa （eight），Tehue （five），Paloma （three） and Wallaby （one）．Remarkably，each of their kids has a different nationality．
"My grandfather knew that we wanted to travel and to never stop so he gave me the old Graham-Paige car he used on his farm，"Herman said．Each night the six Zapps either sleep in or around a tent set up next to their car，but more often than not they find a friendly local who will put them up for the night．The only hard rule the couple have to stick by is the 40mph speed limit the 83-year old car is restricted to．
Their trip is supported with the money coming from selling books they write about the places they visit．
 
71．Which word has a similar meaning to the underlined word"bane"in the first paragraph？D
A．Beginning．B．Highlight．C．Pleasure．D．Discouragement．
72．_____ years after their marriage，the couple decided to travel forever．B
A．Four          B．Eight          C．Nine       D．Eleven
73．The birthplace of the couple's second child Tehue must be inA．
A．South America      B．Central America    C．Australia        D．South East Asia
74．What can we learn about the Zapps'car？C
A．The family sleep in it during the night
B．It can travel on water like a ship．
C．It can never run faster than 40mph
D．Herman's grandfather bought it for them．
75．Where do the Zapps keep their kids？A

B．They let the kids stay where they were born．
C．They sent the kids to their motherland
D．They keep the kids in a foreign country．

9．You already know that you should wake up early to become more productive，and perhaps you have also heard that you shouldn't check your email first in the morning．While this advice is good and well-documented，there is also another kind of productivity advice that is as effective as well．（71）E
1．Work when there is a distraction（分心） around
Your environment doesn't have to be 100% quiet if you want to get work done．Let's say that you are working from home and you have kids．Let's also assume that you don't have a quiet workspace in your home to do your work．Naturally，you could decide to do work during the quiet hours．（72）D．
2．Drink coffee before taking a nap（小憩）
（73）F Then take a caffeine nap．Combining coffee and napping time can have a big improvement in one's personal productivity．Drink a cup of coffee，take a 20-minute nap right afterward and wake-up refreshed．
3．（73）B
It's so funny to think that the places that seem like the last ones in which to get anything done are the best for productivity．I'm talking about trains and when I travel alone，I look forward to getting work done there．In fact，I have done a lot of work during my trips when I'm moving from one place to another．
4．Close the curtains（窗帘）
Closing the curtains can improve your productivity．I might do some work at the dining table where there is a window to the left of me．Since I can see the nearby parking space through the window （and the people and moving cars as well），the movement might catch my attention，so the simplest way to prevent the distraction is to close the curtains．（75）A

A．Focus on one thing at a time．
B．Work in a train．
C．Have a mobile Internet access with you．
D．Try these tips and see how they work for you．
E．But not all of the tasks have to be done then．
F．That way I can put all of my attention to my work．
G．Want to improve your afternoon productivity？
10．-How would you like your tea？
-        ．（　　）
A．Very quickly．B．Very much．
C．As it comes，pleaseD．I don't reached．
7．____ I saw Linda，she was playing the piano attentively．（　　）
A．At the first timeB．For the first time
C．By the first timeD．The first time
7．Among various programs，TV talk shows have covered every inch of space on daytime television．And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style．But no two shows are more opposite in content，while at the same time standing out above the rest，than the Jerry Springer and Oprah Winfrey shows．
       Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of"rubbish talk"．The topics on his show are as surprising as can be．For example，the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love，sex，cheating，and hate，to a different level．Clearly，the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society，yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people's lives．
       Like Jerry Springer，Oprah Winfrey takes the TV talk show to its top．But Oprah goes in the opposite direction．The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality of life．Contents are from teaching your children lessons，managing your work week，to getting to know your neighbors．
       Compared to Oprah，the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society．Jerry ends every show with a"final word"．He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show．Hopefully，this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable．
       Clean as it is，the Oprah show is not for everyone．The show's main audience are middle-class Americans．Most of the people have the time，money and ability to deal with life's tough problems．Jerry Springer，on the other hand，has more of a connection with the young adults of society．These are 18-to 21year-olds whose main troubles in life include love，relationship，sex，money and drug．They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show's exploitation．
41．Compared with other TV talk shows，both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows areB．
A．more interesting                                     
B．unusually poplar
C．more detailed                                         
D．more formal
42．Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear unpleasant，people who watch the showsA．
A．remain interested in them
B．are ready to face up to them
C．remain cold to them                                
D．are willing to get away from them
43．Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show？C
A．A new type of robot．                             
B．National hatred．
C．Family income planning．                       
D．Street accident．
44．We can learn from the passage that the two talk showsD．
A．have become the only ones of its kind
B．exploit the weaknesses in human nature
C．appear at different times of the day
D．attract different people．

4．On March 28th，the New York Times will begin charging all but the most infrequent users to read articles online．
In a letter to readers，Arthur Sulzberger，Jr．，the publisher of the paper，laid out the details of the paywall，which he said will go into effect immediately in Canada and on March 28th for the rest of the world．He called the move"an important step that we hope you will see as an investment in the Times，one that will strengthen our ability to provide high-quality journalism to readers around the world and on any platform．"
Sulzberger said that readers will be able to read 20 articles per month at no charge．Once they click on the 21st piece，however，they'll be presented with three payment options：15 for four weeks of online and mobile application access，20 for access to the site and the iPad application，or   35 for access to everything．People who already receive the printed paper through home delivery will enjoy free and unlimited access to the Times on all platforms．
These details largely agree with earlier reports on how the paywall would work．The Times had made it clear that it did not want to imitate the total paywalls put into effect by papers such as The Times of London and Newsday，which block access to all contents unless the reader pays．
The paper also signaled that it wants to stay relevant in the social media world．According to Sulzberger's announcement，people who come to the Times site from Facebook，Twitter or from blogs will be able to read those articles even if they have gone over their monthly limit．
However，Sulzberger said that a limit will be placed on"some search engines"，meaning that after readers have accessed a certain number of articles from search engines，any futher articles they access from there will be added to their monthly count．It was reported that the only search engine that will be affected this way is Google，where there will be a five-article limit．This marks a clear attempt by the Times to close what could be a giant loophole （漏洞），since so much online traffic is directed through Google．But it also presents a risk for the Times for the same reason．
Sulzberger seems well aware of the risk．"The challenge now is to put a price on our work without walling ourselves off from the global network，"he said，adding that the Times must"continue to engage with the widest possible audience．"

68．Why will the Times charge their online readers？D
A．It wants to stay relevant in the social media world．
B．It has too many readers coming from the other sites．
C．It is trying a way to offer better service to its readers．
D．It is seeking new financial sources for its development．
69．Who will be limited to the New York Times articles？C
A．Those subscribing to the printed newspapers．
B．Readers clicking through from Facebook．
C．Those using Google research engine．
D．Readers paying   35 a month．
70．What challenge may the paywall bring to the New York Times？C
A．It may bring the Times more competition with the other media．
B．It may stop the Times connecting to the global network．
C．It may result in huge drops in papers'online readership．
