18．Make Albertsville Shine
After a long and snowy winter，spring has finally come to Albertsville．The leaves are out on the trees，and the grass is green again．All around town，people are cleaning up their homes．They are pulling weeds and planting flowers．They are sweeping yards and washing windows．Before long，Albertsville will look as fresh and shiny as a new coin，right？
Definitely not．Just take a look at the streets and sidewalks around town．There is litter everywhere：fast food wrappers，soft drink cans，plastic bags，and more．This litter is dirty and ugly．It takes the shine off our lovely town．
But it doesn't have to be this way．In many neighboring towns，volunteer groups"adopt"a mile of a street or road to keep clean．The groups include schools，churches，and clubs．Volunteers pick up litter，cut bushes，wash sidewalks，and even plant flowers!
Sure，the volunteers work hard，but they also get to enjoy the beauty of their town．Better yet，they feel proud of themselves for making their town a better place to live．
So what are the people of Albertsville waiting for？Talk to people in your school，church，or club about adopting part of a street or road．Then get to work!If enough volunteer groups get busy，Albertsville really will shine this spring．

56．Albertsville looks old and dull because ofB．
A．a lack of trees     
B．trash on the roads
C．dirty and ugly houses     
D．bad weather in spring
57．Volunteers do the following EXCEPTC．
A．removing wastes   
B．looking after plants
C．raising money     
D．cleaning sidewalks
58．The purpose of the passage is toC．
A．persuade people to stop littering
B．describe the beauty of Albertsville
C．call on people to help clean up Albertsville
D．compare Albertsville with neighboring towns．

解答 56---58 BCC
56．答案B．细节理解题．根据第二段"There is litter everywhere：fast food wrappers，soft drink cans，plastic bags，and more．This litter is dirty and ugly．It takes the shine off our lovely town．"可知，垃圾让Albertsville变得又旧又沉闷．故选B．
57．答案C．细节理解题．根据第三段"Volunteers pick up litter，cut bushes，wash sidewalks，and even plant flowers!"可知，志愿者们捡垃圾、剪灌木、清洗人行道、甚至还种花．没有C筹钱．故选C．

点评 抓住广告的标题：我们要把广告各部分的标题浏览一遍，明白广告的目的．如果广告开头有导语，一定要认真阅读，因为开头一般概括文章大意．然后再看试题，带着试题到文章中寻找答案．这就好比我们在生活中阅读报刊中的广告一样，先看广告部分的分类标题，然后再带着自己的需要去寻找所需信息．然后根据问题在文中找相关线索，排除错误选项，得出最佳答案．

14．This is an open letter to the three people who stole my handbag from the department store where I am employed as a shop assistant．
When you took my bag，I don't know what you thought you were going to get．With my wages，there's not much left on a Tuesday．I hope the￡5was useful to you．I have informed the  social security office so you won't be able to cash the child benefit next week．I hope that won't leave you too short．But if you really need a couple of pounds，I suppose you could always cash one of the two checks left in my check book．Of course，I phoned the bank right away and the check-casing card is no longer valid，so it won't be much use to you．
Actually I don't mind about the money too much．We single parents who work to support our families understand only too well what it means to be short of cash．However，I don't suppose it went very far among the three of you．Sorry about that!
I wish you had left the bag behind and just taken the wallet and check book．There were all kinds of papers in it，and notes and things that I really need．I really think that was very inconsiderate of you．I mean，how would you like something like that to happen to you？
Well，perhaps the bag will turn up．It wasn't even an expensive one，just a plain，old brown leather shoulder bag．You probably dumped it in the nearest rubbish bin or threw it into the bushes．We've looked around，of course，but no one saw which way you went after you left the shop．
I'm not really angry with you．I know how the pressures of modern living can affect us，but I am sad at the loss of my personal things．I feel violated and helpless．The police were very icy，and they just shrugged（耸） their shoulders．"It happens all the time，"they told me．Some small comfort，I suppose．But I've lost just a little more faith in human nature．And as my young son said when I told him what had happened，"Why？Mummy，why us？"I couldn't answer that question．I wonder if you can．
60．In writing Paragraph 2，the writer wants toB．
A．describe the contents of the bag in detail   
B．tell the thieves hardly any money was available
C．give some suggestions to the three thieves 
D．state the fact that she was careless with the money
61．Which of the following is the most valuable to the writer？C
A．The cash in her bag                        
B．The handbag itself
C．The papers and notes in the bag              
D．The check books in the bag
62．What can we conclude about the police？B
A．They have doubts about human nature
B．They think the case quite common
C．They show sympathy for the woman
D．They are unable to find the thieves
63．Why does the author write the letter？C
A．To give the thieves a serious warning
B．To call people's attention to their belongings
C．To complain about the fall of morality
D．To express her affection for her valuable bag．
9．People all want to improve the way they study．Many students say that a lack of concentration is their biggest problem．It seriously affects their ability to study，so do their test results．If so，use these tips to help you．
Study Techniques
?You should always study in the same place．You shouldn't sit in a position that you use for another purpose．For example，when you sit on a sofa to study，your brain will think it is time to relax．Don't watch TV while you are studying．Experts warn that your concentration may be reduced by 50 percent if you attempt to study in this way．Always try to have a white wall in front of you，so there is nothing to distract （make less concentrated） you．Before sitting down to study，gather together all the equipment you need．Apart from your textbooks，pens，pencils and knives，make sure you have a dictionary．If your study desk or table is needed when you are not studying，store all your equipment in a box beside it．
?Your eyes will become tired if you try to read a text which is on a flat surface．Position your book at an angle of 3 degrees．
?Be realistic and don't try to complete too much in one study period．Finish one thing before beginning another．If you need a break，get up and walk around for a few minutes，but try not to telephone a friend or have something to eat．
Test-taking Skills
?All your hard work will be for nothing if you are too nervous to take your test．Getting plenty of rest is very important．This means do not study all night before your test!It is a better idea to have a long-term study plan．Try to make a timetable for your study which lasts for a few months．
?Exercise is a great way to reduce pressure．Doing some form of exercise every day will also improve your concentration．Eat healthy food too．
?When you arrive in the examination room，find your seat and sit down．Breathe slowly and deeply．Check the time on the clock during the test，but not too often．Above all，take no notice of everyone else and give the test paper your undivided attention．

C．Your concentration will improve if you study and watch TV at the same time．
D．Staying up all night and studying is tiring，but you will learn a lot using this method．
51．What does the underlined word"it"in the second paragraph refer to？C
A．Your textbook．B．Your dictionary．
C．Your study desk or table．D．The equipment you need．

13．Life is to be enjoyed．There's no point in giving．up something you enjoy unless you get something back that's even better．When people eat more healthfully，exercise，and manage stress better，they find that they feel much better．The latest studies show that when you exercise and eat right：
YOUR BRAIN receives more blood flow and oxygen，so you become smarter，think more clearly，have more energy，and need less sleep．Some studies show that just walking for three hours per week for only three months is so helpful that it actually increases the size of people's brains!
YOUR FACE receives more blood flow，so your skin wrinkles（皱纹） less．You look younger and more attractive．However，an unhealthy diet，stress and smoking reduce blood flow to your face so you age more quickly．
YOUR TELOMERES （染色体端粒） get longer．Telomeres control how long we live．If telomeres become shorter，cells age more quickly，thus shortening your life．
Besides，one of the most interesting findings in the study was that the mothers'awareness of stress was very important．The researchers gave the women a questionnaire and asked them to describe how stressed they felt each day．The women who were aware that they were under heavy stress had shortened and damaged telomeres compared with those who felt more relaxed．On the contrary，some of the women who felt relaxed despite （尽管） raising a disabled child had more normal-appearing telomeres．In other words，if you feel stressed，you are stressed； if you feel fine，you are fine．
33．Which change will NOT happen to you when you exercise and eat right？C
A．Having fewer wrinkles．
B．Becoming cleverer．
C．Having shorter telomeres．
D．Looking younger．
34．From the last paragraph we learn thatD．
A．mothers will become more stressed if they raise a disabled child
B．mothers don't know how to handle stress effectively
C．many women knew little about educating children
D．mothers'positive attitudes are the key to managing their stress

B．Feel better，live longer
C．Less stress，fewer diseases

10．Human cloning technology could be used to reserve heart attacks．Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack by cloning their healthy heart cells and injecting them into the areas of the heart that have been damaged，and other problems may be solved if human cloning and its technology are not forbidden．
With cloning，infertilecouples could have children．Current treatments for infertility，in terms of percentages，are not very successful．Couples go through physical and emotionally painful procedures for a small chance of having children．Many couples run out of time and money without successfully having children．Human cloning could make it possible for many more infertile couples to have children than ever before．
We should be able to clone the bone marrow（骨髓） for children and adults suffering from leukemia（白血病）．This is expected to be one of the first benefits to come from cloning technology．We may learn how to switch cells on and off through cloning and thus be able to cure cancer．
Cloning technology can be used to test for and perhaps cure gene-related diseases．The above is just a few examples of what human cloning technology can do for mankind．This new technology promises unprecedented （前所未有的）advancement in medicine if people will release their fears and let the benefit begin．

44．What does the underlined word"infertile"（paragraph 2）most probably mean？C
A．with physical and emotional problems
B．short of time and money
C．unable to give birth to children
D．separated from each other for a long time
45．According to the text，one of the first expected benefits from cloning technology is inB．
A．the treatment of mental diseases
B．the reserve of heart diseases
C．the cure of gene-related diseases
D．the bearing of babies
46．According to the writer，the main problem with the development of human cloning technology is thatD．
A．it has brought about benefits so far
B．it may be out of human control
C．people still know little about it
D．people are afraid of such technology．
7．Usually，when a waiter refuses to serve someone at a restaurant，customers complain．In this case，customers cheered．
    The waiter in question，Michael Garcia，has been receiving goodwill and friend requests on the restaurant's Facebook page since word spread that he stood up for a child with special needs．
    Garcia，who works at the Houston restaurant Laurenzo's，was serving a family with a 5-year-old child，Milo，who has Down syndrome（唐氏综合症）．The server said that another family at the restaurant commented on Milo's behavior，which Garcia described as"talking and making little noises．"Garcia moved the complaining family to another table，but they were still unhappy．"Special needs children need to be special somewhere else，"the complaining father reportedly said．
    The waiter then took a stand．He told FoxNews．com that such talk is rude and is due to people's fear of the unknown．"My personal feelings took over，"he said，leading him to tell the father．"Sir，I won't be able to serve you．"The family left the restaurant．
    It didn't take long for the story to get out．The restaurant's Facebook page has received praise from people in Texas and beyond．
    Facebook user Tisha Baker wrote，"Thank you so much for speaking up when most just turn away．"
    Rick Park posted，"Thank you Mr．Garcia!I have a 17-year-old son with Down syndrome and I love to hear about people like yourself standing up for people with disabilities．"
  Stephanie Painter added，"Thank you Michael for standing up for this beautiful little boy!Anyone who has ever come in contact with a child，or adult，with Down's knows how loving and happy they are．Milo is a precious gift from God and so is Michael!"
    Outside of Texas．Garcia gained other fans．Sue Pusztai posted，"I wish I lived in Texas so I could eat at your restaurant．I would have loved to have met Mr．Garcia to thank him for his kindness and courage．"

8．As the new term starts，freshmen around the world are asking the same question：how can I make the best of four years at college？The New York Times received suggestions recently from PhD students and seniors at some of the top universities．Here is their advice．
"Many young people today are raised in a protective cocoon（茧）"，wrote Tim Novikoff，a PhD student at Comell．"College is a time to explore the world beyond and a chance to learn new things about yourself．Take classes in different subjects．Try lots of different clubs and activities．"
Remember also to take some time away from campus，suggested Willie Lin，a student at Washington University．"If you spend all of your time in school，then it becomes too easy to let criticism from an unkind professor or a conflict with a roommate take up large proportions．"
Try to find work assisting a researcher or a professor---this is the advice from Aman Singh Gill，a PhD student at Stony Brook University．And he also said，"With a window into the world of research，you will find yourself thinking more critically，accepting fewer states at face value and perhaps developing a brave sense of what you can accomplish．"
Many young people can't imagine even a single day without devices such as computers and cell phones．But try to keep yourself off them，cautioned Christine Smallwood，a PhD student at Columbia University．
Start by scheduling a few Internet-free hours each day，with your phone turned off．It's the only way you'll be able to read anything serious．"This will also have the benefit of making you harder to reach，and thus more mysterious and fascinating to new friends and acquaintances（熟人），"she suggested．

63．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3means we shouldB．
A．spend more time at school
B．take some time out of school
C．listen to criticism more
D．not argue with roommates
64．Who thinks it is important to consider something critically？A
A．Aman Singh Gill     B．Christine Smallwood
C．Tim Novikoff        D．Willlie Lin
65．As for modern information devices，the last two paragraphs mean to tell usC．
A．to keep ourselves off them forever not to use them
B．to turn them off
C．to make a schedule to use them
D．not to use them

A．tips from some students for college life
B．ways to read something serious regularly
C．days without cell-phones and computers
