Dear Sirs，
As a concerned parent，I am writing to protest（抗议） your recent advertisement for Electro-Robo seen in local media in California．Specially，I am referring to newspaper and magazine ads （attached to this letter） published the week of November 15．
Children respond to your type of advertising in an immature（不成熟的） way，that is，they are unable to understand how expensive some toys are for middle-class parents．Further，your product is violent in nature．Your advertisement gives children the impression that it's fine to have"two guns and laser eyes．"You also suggest that children need your toy to protect them"when you go outside．"This is not a healthy attitude for children to have．
I hope you will stop advertising your product in such a way that may harm our children．
Sincerely yours．
（Mrs．）Alma Hernandez

分析 本文是一封信件，写信的目的是反对玩具公司刊出的对孩子不利的广告．

解答 28-31　BDAA
28：B   主旨大意题．由第一段第一句"I am writing to protest your recent advertisement for Electro-Rain seen in local media is California．"可知信的作者写这封信的目的是对一个广告进行抗议，故正确答案为B．
29：D  细节理解题．由第二段第三句"Your advertisement gives children the impression that it's fine to have'two guns and laser eyes．'"可知信的作者认为这个广告很暴力的原因之一是这个广告让孩子们觉得拥有枪和激光眼是一件很好的事情，即容忍了孩子们武装自己，故正确答案为D．
30：A  推理判断题． Enc 出现后引出了作者附在信上的前文所提到的完整的广告，由此可推断 Enc 的意思是指附在信上的附件，故正确答案为A．
31：A  细节理解题．由倒数第三段第三句"He can walk，talk，and even shake your hand!"可知没有提到这种自动化机器人玩具可以坐下，正确答案为A．

点评 做阅读时经常犯错的主要原因是，仅凭读过文章后残留在脑海中的一丝印象来勾选答案，这样便很容易掉入出题人故意设布下的题目陷阱．所谓阅读理解，对于题目的理解一定要忠实于原文，因此，每一道题都应该与原文作全面的对比与核查，再得出答案．也就是说，阅读理解的每一道题目，在原文都应该有明确的出处，我们把这一出处叫做原文相关句，（1）排除与原文相关句主题不一致的选项（2）排除与原文相关句态度相反的选项 （3）排除用于过于极端或负面的选项（4）注意结合文章主旨和主题去排除．

4．Do you ever wish for a little more time to do everything you need to do？Well，on July 1 you'll be getting it--but only one more second．
  On July 1 at exactly 7：59：59 a．m．Beijing time （or on June 30 at 23：59：59 UTC，Coordinated Universal Time），the world's atomic（原子的） clocks will pause for a single second，or，more precisely，change to the unusual time of 7：59：60，according to theverge．com．The addition of a leap second（闰秒），announced by the Paris Observatory，is to keep our clocks in time with the slowing of Earth's rotation（旋转） and astronomical time as measured by the sun．
   Just one extra second could cause big problems and affect the way computers and websites work，however．When the last leap second was added back in 2012，more than a few websites had some trouble．As reported by Phys．org，popular sites like the community website Reddit crashed when the leap second was added．
  For Reddit，the problem was eventually found to be with a Linux system that got confused when it checked the network time and found an extra second．
  Speaking to Wired about the problem back in 2012，Linux creator Linus Torvalds commented："Almost every time we have a leap second，we find something．It's really annoying，because it's code （代码）that is almost never used，and thus not tested by users under their normal conditions．"
  Companies have had to think of their own solutions，and Google's"leap smear"may be the best-known example．As company engineer Christopher Pascoe explains in a blog post，companies usually try to fix the problem by turning back the clocks by one second at the end of the day so that they play that second again．
  However，Pascoe believes this creates problems．He asked："What happens？Does e-mail that comes in during that second get stored correctly？"
  Google has a solution：Cut the extra second into milliseconds and then put these tiny amounts of time into the system throughout the day．"This means that when it became time to add an extra second at midnight，"says Pascoe．"Our clocks have already taken into account over the course of the day．"
  For many companies without Google's money，however，the leap second will likely still cause some crashes．Don't worry，though-at least it won't last long!

51．Why do we need to add a leap second？C
A．The world's atomic clocks are set to do so．
B．To keep in time with the world's computers．
C．To keep atomic clocks in time with the slowing of Earth's rotation．
D．To record the changes to astronomical time．
52．What happened to the website Reddit when the leap second was added in 2012？D
A．It crashed because of a virus attack．
B．Its network time added two extra seconds．
C．All of the code in its Linux system went wrong．
D．One of its software systems got confused and the site broke down．
53．What does the underlined word"something"refer to in the 5th paragraph？A
A．The code not working properly．
B．The extra second．
C．The problem．
D．Normal conditions．
54．How do companies usually deal with the problem of the extra second？C
A．By shutting down computers at the end of the day．
B．By stopping receiving emails that come in during that second．
C．By turning the clocks back by one second at the end of the day．
D．By cutting the extra second into milliseconds throughout  the day．
55．What's Christopher Pascoe's attitude toward Google's solution to the problem？C
A．Unfavorable   
B．Doubtful  
C．Approving  
D．Cautious．
16．George claims that he read 53books in 2012．My friend and I found this fairly unbelievable，considering he seems to have a pretty full schedule．
Anyway，it appears that I am on track to read 72new books this year．But I've come to realize that this number can easily be skewed（扭曲）．For instance，currently I am reading Rising Tide：The Story of the Mississippi Flood of 1927．This book is over 700pages．It's going to take me the month of May （along with Harry Potter rereads； I can't read nonfiction while going to sleep）．So my May average will be way off．However，when I read chick-lits （鸡仔文学，都市女性文学），I can get those done in a day．I guess it all depends on what I choose to read．
In reality，reading is beneficial because it encourages us to slow down our thinking，and also to fully interpret someone else's experience．Reading keeps the mind sharp and expands a person's vocabulary．We read to educate ourselves．We read to help ourselves．We read to escape our own lives and live in that of another for a little while．
