11．Why is it that once we become adults，we become so serious all the time（generally speaking）．We get so caught up in the hectic race of everyday life that we forget that we are here to experience joy，and life．We forget to smile and enjoy the beauty of the present moment．I notice that I fall into the many demands of my life story．Recently，I have gotten so busy that a week can pass without realizing．I don't get the chance to slow down once to reflect and to be present．I seem to fall into the pattern of constantly living in the future，running after the next goal or achieving the next task on my never-ending list of To-dos．Let's take this moment to slow down，just for a few minutes．
Small children and family pets can serve as our great teachers．Have you observed them before？Try it．It is so beautiful to watch the innocence of a small child，or a dog．They are so present in the moment，stress-free，open to their feelings and are a bundle （捆）of joy．I tell people that my dog Tommy is"made of love"because from observing him，he really is!His positive energy serves as a constant reminder to be positive in any situation and not to take things so seriously．Live life，and enjoy the moment．
I also believe that child-like innocence and creativity have a direct connection．I work with lots of artists and creative people，and I have found that child-like innocence is very common among all of them．The purity，the openness，and the awareness of the present moment are clearly shown through interacting with each of them．

60．The underlined word"hectic"in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to"A"．
A．busy B．complex C．short D．peaceful
61．The author's dog is mentioned in the second paragraph to show thatB．
A．we should raise more pets
B．we can learn from our pets
C．we should know more about our pets
D．we should take every moment to relax
62．Which of the following can make people creative according to the author？D
A．A special way of life．
B．Awareness of the future．
C．Deep love for life．
D．Purity of the present moment．
63．The author of the passage would agree thatB．
A．we should live in the future instead of at present
B．living in the future prevents us from enjoying life
C．child-like innocence can harm an adult
D．creative people can't fully enjoy their life．

分析 本文是议论文，讨论了我们每天都很忙碌，以至于忘了享受生活，甚至忘了微笑．所以，过得简单一些吧，偶尔停下来慢慢享受生活的乐趣．

解答 ABDB
60 A词义猜测题．文章开头Why is it that once we become adults，we become so serious all the time（generally speaking）．讲到"当我们成为成年人之后，我们整天担心各种各样的事情．我们每天都很忙，以至于忘记了慢下来体验生活的快乐．"因此我们是处于快速的生活节奏中，所以画线词可用fast代替，故选A．
61 B 推理判断题．根据文章第三段第一句"Small children and family pets can serve as great‘Zen（禅）'teachers．"可知，我们可以从小孩和宠物身上学到很多东西，故选B．
62 D 细节理解题．根据文章最后一段I also believe that child-like innocence and creativity have a direct connection．可知，作者认为"天真"是和创造力紧密相连的，而其中"纯真"就是构成天真无邪的因素之一，因此能够让人们具有创造性．故选D．
63 B 细节理解题．纵观全文，作者的观点是放松心情，不要担心还没有发生的事情．因此，作者赞同的观点是：担心将来发生的事将阻碍你享受当下的生活，故选B．

点评 一、速读全文，了解大意知主题．
　　阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面．阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力．考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质．
二、看题干，带着问题读文章．
　　首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等．其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位．此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率．
　　三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题．
　　在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义．要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全．推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等．
　　四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎．
　　猜词是应用英语的重要能力．它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇．我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义．

20．It is certain that this process will continue and people will keep inventing new words and new ways of saying things．
1．Edmund Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200 years ago．He studied the observations of comets （彗星） which other scientists had made．The orbit of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical （数学） problem．He could not figure it out．Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems．
However，Halley had a friend named Newton，who was a brilliant mathematician．Newton thought he had already worked out that problem，but he could not find the papers on which he had done it．He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse （椭圆）．
Now Halley set to work．He figured out （解决；计算出） the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by scientists．He made a surprising discovery．The comets that had appeared in the years 1531，1607，and 1682 all had the same orbit．Yet their appearances had been 75 to 76 years apart．
This seemed very strange to Halley．The different comets followed the same orbit．The more Halley thought about it，the more he thought that there had not been three different comets，as people thought．He decided that they had simply seen the sme comet three times．The comet had gone away and had come back again．
It was an astonishingidea！Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction （预言） of what comet would happen in the future．He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758．There were 53years to go before Halley's prediction could be tested．In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky．Halley did not see it，for he has died some years before．Ever since then that comet has been called Halley's comet，in his honor．

On the train Mr．Brown sat opposite to an old woman．The woman's umbrella was so nice that he carefully looked at it and said to himself not to forget to buy a few umbrellas like it．When the train arrived at the station in London，he said good-bye to the old woman，took his bag and her umbrella and was going to get off．
"Wait a minute，sir，"shouted the old woman．"That's my umbrella!"
Now Mr．Brown noticed that he had taken her umbrella．His face turned red at once and said in a hurry，"Oh，I'm very sorry，Madam!I didn't mean it!"
Seven days later Mr．Brown left the capital．To his surprise，he met the old woman and sat opposite to her again．Looking at the four umbrellas，the old woman was satisfied with herself．It seems that I had a better result than the other four women．"She thought．

3．In the past years the popularity of rock climbing has greatly increased，and so has the number of injuries．It has been estimated that rock climbing is now enjoyed by more than 9 million people in the US each year．Study findings revealed a 65 percent increase in the number of patients that were treated in US emergency departments for rock climbing-related injuries between 1991 and 2011．
The study，published in the online issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine，found that about 40，000 patients were treated in US emergency departments for rock climbing-related injuries between 1991and 2011．The most common types of rock climbing-related injuries were fractures （骨折） and sprains （扭伤）．The ankle was the most common body part to be injured （40 percent）．Climbers in the study ranged in age from 2 to 74，with an average age of 26．The study also found that women took up a quarter of the injuries．
Falls were the primary reason for injury with over three-quarters of the injuries occurring as the result of a fall．The severity of fall-related injuries had a lot to do with the height of the fall．Patients who were injured after falling from a height over 20 feet were 10 times more likely to be treated than patients who were injured falling from 20 feet or lower．
"We found that the climbers who fell from heights higher than 20 feet took up 70 percent of the patients treated for a rock climbing-related injury，"explained the study author Lara McKenzie，PhD，director at the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Hospital．"This trend，combined with the fact that rock climbers have a higher hospitalization rate than other sports and recreational injuries，demonstrates the need to increase injury prevention efforts for climbers．"

63．Which body part is most likely to get injured for a climber？B
A．The arm．B．The ankle．C．The knee．D．The hand．
64．How many women climbers in America got injured while climbing a rock between 1991 and 2011？D
A．About 40，000．B．About 30，000．
C．About 20，000．D．About 10，000．
65．The severity of climbers'fall-related injures is mainly related toA．
A．the height of the fall
B．the climber's age
C．the climber's health conditions
D．the climber's climbing experience
66．The underlined word"demonstrates"in the last paragraph can be replaced by"C"．
A．demands B．prevents C．proves D．describes．
20．Good health is the most valuable thing a person can have，but one cannot take good health for granted．It is important to remember that the body needs proper care in order to be healthy．There are three things that a person can do to help stay in good shape：One should eat right foods，get enough sleep，and exercise regularly （定期地）．
Proper nutrition （营养） is important for good health．Your body cannot work well unless it receives the proper kind of"fuel"（燃料）．Don't eat too much food with lots of sugar and fat．Eat plenty of foods high in protein （蛋白质），like meat，fish，eggs and nuts．Vegetables and fruits are very very important because theyprovide necessary vitamins （维他命） and minerals （矿物质）．However，don't overeat．It is not helpful to be overweight．
Getting the proper amount （量） of sleep is also important．If you don't get enough sleep，you feel tired and easily get angry．You have no energy．Over a long period of time a little amount of sleep may even result in a change of personality （人的个性）．Be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of sleep each night．If you do，your body will feel strong and refreshed，and your mind will be sharp．
Finally，get plenty of exercise．Exercise firms the body，strengthens the muscles，and prevents you from gaining weight．It also improves your heart and lungs．If you follow a regular exercise program，you will probably increase your lifespan （寿命）．Any kind of exercise is good．Most sports are excellent for keeping the body in good shapes：basketball，swimming，bicycling，running and so on are good examples．Sports are not only good for your body，but they are enjoyable and interesting，too．
If everybody，were to eat the right foods，get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly，the world would be a happier and healthier place．We would all live to be much older and wiser．
