8.Is there a magic cutoff period when offspring become accountable for their own actions?Is there a wonderful moment when parents can become spectators (旁观者) in the lives of their children and shrug,"It's their life,"and feel nothing?
When I was in my twenties,I stood in a hospital corridor waiting for doctors to put a few stitches in my son's head.I was asked,"When do you stop worrying?"A nurse said,"When they get out of the accident stage."My mother just smiled faintly and said nothing.
When I was in my thirties,I sat on a little chair in a classroom and heard how one of my children talked incessantly,disrupted (打断) the class,and was headed for a career making license plates.As if to read my mind,a teacher said,"Don't worry.They all go through this stage,and then you can sit back,relax,and enjoy them."My mother listened and said nothing.
When I was in my forties,I spent a lifetime waiting for the phone to ring and the cars to come home,the front door to open.
My friends said that when my kids got married I could stop worrying and lead my own life.I wanted to believe that,but I was haunted by my mother's wan ( 淡淡的 ) smile and her occasional words,"You look pale.Are you all right?Call me the minute you get home."
Can it be that parents are sentenced to a lifetime of worry?Is concern for one another handed down like a torch to blaze the trail of human frailties and the fears of the unknown?Is concern a curse?Or is it a virtue that elevates us to the highest form of life?
One of my children became quite irritable recently,saying to me,"Where were you?I've been calling for three days,and no one answered.I was worried!!!"
I smiled a wan smile.

59.What can we know about the author's mother from the passage?C
A.She seems to laugh at the author.
B.She is not concerned about the author.
C.She has a thorough understanding of the author.
D.She tries to give the author some encouragement.
60.What did the author do in her forties?C
A.She was less concerned about her children.
B.She couldn't stop worrying about her children.
C.She would like her children to see her often.
D.She became more patient with her children.

A.She wanted to learn from her mother.
B.She stopped worrying about her children at last.
C.She succeeded in tricking her children.
D.She got a kind of satisfaction from her child's concern.
62.The main purpose of the passage is to tell us thatA.
A.the concern between parents and children is natural
B.parents'love for their children is selfless
C.parents show more concern for their children

分析 本文是一篇科教类阅读,作者主要以自己的亲身经历向读者阐明了一个事实:父母与孩子之间的这种担忧是很正常的.

解答 59-62.CCDA
59题答案:C考查细节推理,根据文章My mother just smiled faintly and said nothing.及My mother listened and said nothing."我妈妈只是微微一笑什么也没说"及"我妈妈只是听什么也没说",可知作者的母亲对作者很了解,因为如果不了解的话就会有很多的疑问(即很多的话语);故本题答案为C选项.
60题答案:C考查细节推理,根据文章第四段的When I was in my forties,I spent a lifetime waiting for the phone to ring and the cars to come home,the front door to open.当我四十多岁时,我花了一辈子的时间等待电话铃、回家的车和待开的前门.可知作者很想孩子能经常看望她,故本题答案为C选项.
61题答案:D考查细节推理,根据倒数第二段的"Where were you?I've been calling for three days,and no one answered.I was worried!!!""你在哪?我给你打了三天的电话但是没人接,我很担心!"可知作者之所以笑是因为之前一直都是自己在为孩子担心而现在孩子也知道担心自己了,作者因此感到很欣慰(满意);故本题答案为D选项.
62题答案:A考查主旨大意,文章通过自己在成长的过程中为自己的子女担忧和后来自己的子女也会为自己担心来说明"父母与孩子之间的这种担忧是正常的(因为担忧源于爱,而爱是人的本性)";故本题答案为A选项.

18.Today,Mount Qomolangma's peak is not a lonely place any more.More than 3,500people have successfully climbed the 8,844m mountain,and more than a tenth of that number reached the peak just over the past year.As more and more people try to test themselves against Qomolangma,many a time the mount can be very crowded.Climbers have complained about waiting for hours in the bottlenecks(狭窄路段) on the way to the peak.If bad weather strikes,climbers can and do die.
But the dangerous crowds aren't the only problem on Qomolangma.All those climbers need to bring a lot of gear-much of them ends up being left on the mountain,sometimes even the peak itself.Mount Qomolangma is becoming the world's tallest rubbish dump.Here's mountaineer Mark Jenkins writing in National Geographic about the state of Qomolangma:"The two standard routes,the Northeast Ridge and the Southeast Ridge,are not only dangerously crowded but also badly polluted."
But the good news is that some mountaineers are taking it upon themselves to clean up Qomolangma.Mountaineer Paul Thelen and his friend Eberhard Schaaf are part of the annual Eco Everest Expedition,which has been cleaning up rubbish from base camps to the peak since 2008.So far they've collected over 13tons of garbage.
Some of that rubbish is even being used for a higher purpose.As part of the Mount Everest 8844Art Project,a group of 15artists from Nepal collected 1.5tons of garbage brought down the mountain by climbers.They've changed the cans and oxygen tanks-in one case,part of the remains of a helicopter-into 74pieces of art that have already gone on exhibition in Nepal's capital.Part of the profit from sales will go to the Everest Peakeers Association,which has helped collect tons of rubbish off the mountain.

19.Every culture has it own ways to show friendship.On the island of Hawaii,friendship is part of the"aloha spirit".In the language of the Hawaiians who first settled the islands long ago,aloha had a very special meaning.That is"to be with happiness".
Hawaiians believe that once somebody loves the land,they are ready to love their people or community.This is the second most important thing of friendship.It is called lokahi in the Hawaiian language,which means"oneness with all people".To enjoy the land you should not be selfish.The land is for everyone who lives on.Today many different people call Hawaii their home.Indeed,Hawaii is a place where people make one big community from many smaller communities.Each person gives kokua(help) to other people so that all feel stronger.It is believed that the islands can be a paradise(天堂) when people live in peace.People are told that their actions should be as gentle as the wind that blows from the sea.When problems happen,people are asked to solve them with understanding.So when people of Hawaii talk about ohana(family),they are really talking about all those who live on the island.
Living in peace,Hawaiians have developed a third sign of friendship.This personal friendship is shown by giving leis to one another.The lei,a string of flowers,is put over a friend's neck.Then the friend is given a kiss on the cheek.Visitors to the islands are also given leis.When they hear aloha,visitors began to feel at home.Aloha also means"goodbye",so visitors will hear it again when they leave.It can mean"our hearts singing together".Perhaps this is how most visitors will remember their new friendship.

16.One warm May day,two eighteen-year-old students from San Francisco State College decided to cool off with a swim at Bakers'Beach.The two students were named Robert Kogler and Shirley O'Neill.They headed out to sea for a distance of 50 metres.Robert was in front.
"Suddenly,I heard him scream,"Shirley recalls."I looked round and saw this great grey thing going up in the air.The water seemed to be alive."
         Robert sereamed again."It's a shark!Get out of here!"
         An eye-witness,Army Sergeant Leo P.Day was on guard at the nearby army post.He saw exactly what happened next."I could see this boy struggling with the shark in the water,"he said."The sea was red with blood.He was shouting and signalling someone to go back,go back.Then I saw the girl.She was swimming towards him.She completely ignored his warning."
         Shirley reached Robert,and tried to take his hand.
"When I pulled,all I could see was his arm,handing by a thread,"she said.
         So she put her arm about Robert's back,and started to swim towards the shore.She kept praying"Don't'let it attack again!"That journey to the shore seemed to last for hours.At last,as they neared the shore,a fisherman threw them a line,and pulled them both the rest of the way.
         The young man had lost a lot of blood,and died two and a half hours later,From the teeth marks,experts identified the attacker as a Great White Shark.
         For what Sergeant Day called"the greatest exhibition of bravery I have ever seen,"the President of the US gave Shirley a medal for bravery.

3.People tend to be more impressed by evidence that seems to confirm some relationship.Thus many are convinced their dreams are known ahead of time because a few have come true; they neglect or fail to notice the many that have not.
Consider also the belief that"the phone always rings when I'm in the shower."If it does ring while you do it,the event will stand out and be remembered.If it doesn't ring,that thing probably won't even be remembered.
People want to see order,pattern and meaning in the world.Consider,for example,the common belief that things like personal misfortunes,plane crashes,and deaths"happen in threes."Such beliefs stem from the tendency of people to allow the third event to define the time period.If three plane crashes occur in a month,then the period of time that counts as their"happening together"is one month; if three crashes occur in a year,the period of time is stretched.Flexible end points reinforce such beliefs.
We also tend to believe what we want to believe.A majority of people think they are more intelligent,more fair-minded and more skilled behind the wheel of an automobile than the average person.Part of the reason we view ourselves so favorably is that we use criteria that work to our advantage.As economist Thomas Schelling explains,"Everybody ranks himself high in qualities he values:careful drivers give weight to care,skilled drivers give weight to skill,and those who are polite give weight to courtesy,"This way everyone ranks high on his own scale.
Perhaps the most important mental habit we can learn is to be cautious in drawing conclusions.The"evidence"of everyday life is sometimes misleading.

144.In the first paragraph the author states thatA.
A.dreams cannot be said to be prophetic even though a few have come true.
B.dreams are prophetic did come true.
C.dreams may come true if clearly remembered.
D.dreams and reality are closely related.
145.By"things like…""happen in threes"(Para.3,Line 2),the author indicates that people believeC.
A.personal misfortunes tend to happen every now and then.
B.personal misfortunes,plane crashes,and deaths usually happen together.
C.misfortunes tend to occur according to certain patterns.
D.misfortunes will never occur more than three times to a person in his lifetime.
146.The word"courtesy"(Para.4,Line 6)probably meansA.
A.good manners          B.appropriate speech
C.friendly relations.  D.satisfactory service.
147.What can be inferred from the passageA.
A.Happenings that go unnoticed deserve more attention.
B.In a series of misfortunes the third one is usually the most serious.
C.People tend to make use of evidence that supports their own beliefs.
D.Believers of misfortunes happening in threes are cautious in interpreting events.
148.It can be concluded from the passage thatD.
A.there is some truth even in the wildest dreams.
B.one should take notice of other people's merits.
C.there is no order or pattern in world events.
D.we should not base our conclusions on accidental evidence.
13.The announcements by the NASA,in the form of several Web site postings and a video posted on YouTube,were in response to worries that the world will end on Dec.21,2012.
The doomsday(末日) rumour reached a high point with the release of the new movie"2012",directed by Roland Emmerich.In the movie,Yellowstone blows up,showering the continent with black ash.Tidal waves wash over the Himalayas,where the governments of the planet have secretly built a ship which a select 400,000people can ride out the storm.There are hundreds of hooks devoted to 2012,and millions of Web sites,depending on what combination of"2012"and"doomsday"you type into Google.All of it,astronomers say,is nonsense."Most of what's claimed for 2012relies on wishful thinking and ignorance of astronomy."Ed Krupp,an expert on ancient astronomy,wrote in an article in the November issue of Sky&Telescope.
"I get angry at the way people are being influenced and frightened to make money,"Morrison said."There is no right to frighten children to make a buck."suggested David Morrison,an astronomer at the NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett Field,Calif.He said he had been getting about 20letters and e-mail messages a day from people as far away as India scared out of their wits.Morrison said he did not blame the movie for all this,as much as many other supporters of the Mayan prediction.But then,he said,"my doctorate is in astronomy,not psychology."
In an e-mail exchange,Krupp said:"We are always uncertain about the future,and we always consume representations of it.We are always attracted by the romance of the ancient past."A NASA spokesman,Dwayne Brown,said the agency did not comment on movies,leaving that to movie critics.But when it comes to science,Brown said,"we felt it was careful to provide a resource."
If you want to worry,most scientists say,you should think about global climate change or nuclear war.But if ancient prophecies(预言)get you going,here are some things Morrison and the others think you should know.

64.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?D
A.Dr.Morrison blamed the Movie"2011"for the panic it aroused in the public around the world.
B.People who watched the movie were seared and firmly believed that the end of the world was coming.
C.In terms of science it was better to provide evidence and theory at the same time.
D.Dr.Morrison thought it was not right to make money by frightening people.
65.It can be inferred from the text thatD.
A.astronomers think that doomsday is likely to happen in the near future
B.the reason why the NASA posted web site postings was to make people interested in astronomy
C.scientists think we shouldn't worry about doomsday but show concern about environment protection
D.most astronomers agree that the world is not ending-at least anytime soon
66.Which of the following would be the best title?B
A.A New Movie"2012"
B.Is Doomsday Coming?
C.End-of-the-World Stories          
D.Astronomers Comment on Movies
67.What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?C
A.Evidence that the Mayans thought something special would happen in 2012.
B.What will really happen in 2012.
C.The reason why there is no need to worry about doomsday.
D.Ancient stories about the end of the world.
20.If you have a chance to go to Finland,you will probably be surprised to find how"foolish"the Finnish people are.
Take the taxi drivers for example.Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer.You can go anywhere in one,tell the driver to drop you at any place,say that you have some business to attend to,and then walk off without paying your fare.The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.
The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests,but also serve outside diners.Hotel guests have their meals free,so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals.The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter.With such a loose check,you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.
The Finnish workers are paid by the hour.They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate.From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.
With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life,surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take"petty advantages".But the strange thing is,all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms.And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in.As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do,living in such a society has turned everyone into a real"gentleman".
In a society of such high moral practice,what need is there for people to be on guard against others?

56.While taking a taxi in Finland,a passengerC.
A.can go anywhere without having to pay the driver
B.only pays two US dollars for a taxi ride
C.can never be turned down by the taxi driver wherever he wants to go
D.needs to provide good faith demonstration before leaving without paying
57.We can know from the passage that in FinlandB.
A.both hotel guests and outside diners are served food free of charge
B.big hotels provide meals for all kinds of diners
C.guests can enjoy free food once they stayed in the hotel
D.big hotels are mostly poorly managed
58.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?D
A.Generally speaking,in Finland,workers can get more pay by working long hours.
B.The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.
C.The workers are always honest with their working hours.
D.The bosses are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.
59.It can be concluded thatC.
A.Finnish people are really foolish in daily life
B.Finland has been a good place for cheats
C.the Finnish society is of very high moral level
