2．In countries like Tanzania，water is hard to get，and the job of collecting water （61）falls（fall）on women's shoulders．Girls are often（62）kept（keep）home from school to collect water while their brothers stay at school studying．（63）Studies（study）show Tanzanian girls who live 15minutes from clean water spend 12%more time at school（64）thanthose who live an hour away．More time （65）spent（spend）collecting water means （66）less （1ittle）time for learning．For these girls，"Knowledge is power"is not just words；it is a sad fact in real life．（67）Withless time at school，their chances of getting well-paid jobs are small，and they often have no voice in important matters，like who（68）to marry（marry）．These girls are often married into poor families．They have little money or knowledge to take care of their children，（69）whooften end up dying young．For the baby girls who are （70）lucky （1uck）enough to live，their life may still center around"water，"just like it did for their mothers．

分析 本文主要讲述了坦桑尼亚的女孩及女人们的悲惨命运；文中讲到：像坦桑尼亚那样的一些国家吃水很难，并且收集水的工作都落了在女人们的肩上；女孩们也经常把大多数的时间都花在了收集水上而很少去上学，所以由于学习时间有限，这就使得她们的知识很贫乏；使得她们获得高薪工作的机会也很少；由于没什么钱或知识来照看她们的孩子，致使这些孩子们往往很小就死掉了；即使对于那些很幸运并且活下来的女孩来说，她们的生活可能仍然也摆脱不了收集"水"．

解答 61．falls    考查时态    根据上下文都使用了一般现在时可知，此处讲述的是：像坦桑尼亚那样的一些国家的目前状况，故此处也应使用一般现在时；由于本句的主语 the job of collecting water （是单数形式）；故填falls   
62．kept     考查过去分词   此处的动词keep与主语Girls构成被动关系，意为：女孩们经常被留在家里收集水而不去上学；故填过去分词kept
63．Studies    考查名词的单复数    分析句意可知，这里的意思应为：研究；由于此处在句中作主语，谓语动词show 使用了动词原形；故填名词的复数形式Studies
64．than      考查连词     根据句意以及句中的more可知，此处表示两者的比较，即：住在距离干净的水有15分钟路程的坦桑尼亚女孩与那些住在距离干净的水有一个小时路程的女孩们的在校时间的比较；故用连词than
65．spent    考查过去分词     此处在句中作后置定语修饰前面的名词 time，并且与该名词构成了动宾关系；意为：花在收集水上的时间；故用动词的过去分词spent   
66．less       考查形容词的比较级      根据句意"花在收集水上的时间越多就意味着学习的时间就越少"可知，此处应与前面的more相对应；故填less
67．With      考查介词     根据句意"由于在学校的时间比较少，所以她们获得高薪工作的机会就很小"可知，此处在句中作原因状语，符合"with+名词+介词短语"的结构；故填With 
68．to marry    考查动词不定式      此处应使用"特殊疑问词who+动词不定式"的结构，意为：嫁给谁；故填to marry   
69．who      考查关系代词      根据句意"她们没什么钱或知识来照看她们的孩子，这些孩子们往往很小就会死掉"以及空缺处之前的逗号可知，本句是非限定性的定语从句；此处用来修饰先行词their children，并且在该从句中作主语；故填who
70．lucky    考查形容词     此处用来说明主语the baby girls 的情况，所以应使用形容词作表语；故填lucky

点评 本题主要考查了各种语法在短文中的具体运用．做本题时，需要在正确理解短文的前提下，逐句分析句意以及所考查到的语法现象；因此在平时的学习中，应熟练掌握各种语法知识，其中包括词法，句法，各种时态语态以及虚拟语气等．

10．One day，when I was working as a psychologist in England，an adolescent boy showed up in my office．It was David．He kept walking up and down restlessly，his face pale，and his hands shaking slightly．His head teacher had referred him to me．"This boy has lost his family，"he wrote．"He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others，and I'm very worried about him．Can you help？"
I looked at David and showed him to a chair．How could I help him？There are problems psychology doesn't have the answer to，and which no words can describe．Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically．
The first two times we met，David didn't say a word．He sat there，only looking up to look at the children's drawings on the wall behind me．I suggested we play a game of chess．He nodded．After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon-in complete silence and without looking at me．It's not easy to cheat in chess，but I admit I made sure David won once or twice．
Usually，he arrived earlier than agreed，took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down．It seemed as if he enjoyed my company．But why did he never look at me？
"Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with，"I thought．"Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering．"Some months later，when we were playing chess，he looked up at me suddenly．
"It's your turn，"he said．
After that day，David started talking．He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club．He wrote to me a few times，about his biking with some friends，and about his plan to get into university．Now he had really started to live his own life．
Maybe I gave David something．But I also learned that one-without any words-can reach out to another person．All it takes is a hug，a shoulder to cry on，a friendly touch，and an ear that listens．

A．felt a little excited

17．A Myth
It is true that world population is growing，but this is not the cause of our current and future global problems．Believing this will cause us to ignore the real problem and risk long-term damage to our planet．
Let me start by explaining why overpopulation is a myth．For one thing，the UN Population Division regularly predicts population growth but provides a low variant  （变量），medium variant，and high variant to factor in various possibilities．In the 2010revision，their high variant suggests that the world population will be almost 16billion in 2100，but the low variant predicts it will peak at 8billion and decrease to just over 6billion by 2100．In most cases，it is the low variant that has come true in the past，suggesting the same will be true of their future population predictions．In addition to this，the size of families is actually decreasing．
For another，if the Earth is overpopulated，there needs to be insufficient （短缺） food，water，and space for humans to live．However，Indian economist Raj Krishna estimates that India alone is able to increase crop produce to the point of providing the entire world's food supply．The World Food Programme confirms that there is sufficient food grown to feed the world and there is the same amount of fresh water on the planet now as there was 10，000years ago．So how is it possible that the number of people in the world is affecting our planet？
Therefore，it is not an increase in population but an increase in consumption that is a severe threat．Materialism and overconsumption are facts of life for everybody in the western world，as possessions reflect a person's status in society and people strive to obtain happiness through owning the latest fashionable goods．Not only that，but waste is a common occurrence which has a huge effect on our resources．It is a sad truth that 80% of the world's resources are currently used by just 20% of the world's population．
Our overconsumption must be addressed now to make our lives more sustainable （可持续的） and avoid continuing the terrible damage to the environment we are causing．The key is education．If we do not work towards this but instead focus on the wrong issue，we may find ourselves living on a planet that can no longer sustain human life．
67．According to the author，what causes our current and future global problems？C
A．The increase in population．
B．Shortage of food and water．
C．The fast growth of material needs．
D．Failure to protect the environment．
68．The underlined word"myth"in Paragraph 2is closest in meaning toB．
A．fact B．misconceptionC．possibilityD．uncertainty
69．The author stresses thatC．
A．people should save food and water
B．economists are making wrong predictions
C．wrong judgment leads to serious consequences
D．measures should be taken to reduce population
70．What is mainly discussed in the passage？A
A．The real cause of global problems．
B．The severe effect of overpopulation．
C．Reasonable use of natural resources．
D．Methods to reduce overconsumption．
5．Talking is the most effective and satisfying way of communication with others．There are many forms of communication，（61）whichinclude：texting，cell phones，email，and s ocial media．（62）using（use） these alte rnative forms to communicate with others may be faster，（63）butit lacks many qualities that a face-to-face conversation（64）possesses （possess ）．
    Facial expression and body language can（65）greatly（great） affect a conversation．They can be used to give a person some information about what the other person（66）is thinking（think） and feeling．Facial expression can（67）be applied（apply） to video chatting，but body language can only be found in a face-to-face conversation．Talking in person can have physical（68）features（feature）．Giving someone a hug and holding their hand（69）to comfort（comfort） them can only be done in person．When you are talking to someone by texting or instant messaging them，physical touch does not exist at all，which can limit the connection（70）betweenthe people in the communication．
3．Kataria is the founder of the worldwide laughter movement．The celebration of World Laughter Day is a positive activity for world peace and is intended to build up a global sense of brotherhood and friendship through laughter．The first"World Laughter Day"gathering took place in Mumbai，India，on 11th January，1998.12，000members from India and international Laughter Clubs attended it．Now there are over 5，000Laughter Clubs worldwide on all 5continents．
"HAPPY-DEMIC"was the first World Laughter Day gathering outside India．It took place on 9th January，two years after the Mumbai gathering．In Copenhagen，Denmark，more than 10，000people gathered at Town Hall Square．The event went into Guinness Book of World Records．"World Laughter Day"is now organized on the first Sunday of May every year．Hundreds of people gather worldwide on that day to laugh together．
Today，many people fear widespread international terrorism．The world has never faced so much unrest before．People are at war within themselves．Laughter is a universal language，which has the ability to unite humanity without religion．Laughter can build a common connection between various religions and create a new world order．The idea may sound over-ambitious（野心太大的），and maybe it is．But maybe it is not．It is our deep belief that laughter and only laughter can unite the world，building up a global sense of brotherhood and friendship．
Studies also say that laughter helps your body do the fol-lowing：lower blood pressure； lighten depression； reduce stress； work out the heart，especially for those who are unable to perform physical exercise．So in life，when you can laugh，you should laugh loudly and with your entire body-because it's good for you．

20．We know that sugary sodas aren't good for our bodies．Now it turns out that they may not be good for our minds，either．A new study of more than 260，000 people has found a link between sweetened soft-drinks and depression，and diet sodas may be making matters worse．
Americans drink far more sodas than people in other countries-as much as 170 liters per person per year．But the impact of this study isn't limited to the United States．"Sweetened drinks，coffee and tea are commonly consumed worldwide and have important physical consequences．And they may have important mental-health consequences as well，"study author Dr Honglei Chen said in a statement．
The study studied 263，925 people between the ages of 50 and 71．Researchers followed their consumption of drinks like soda，tea coffee，and other soft drinks from 1995 to 1996 and then.10 years later，asked them if they had been diagnosed with depression since the year 2000．More than 11，3000 of them had．
Participants who drank more than four servings of sodas per day were 30 percent more likely to develop depression than participants who did not drink sodas at all．People who stuck with fruit punch（鸡尾酒），had a 38 percent higher risk than people who didn't drink sweetened drinks．And all that extra sugar isn't the actual problem．Researchers say that the artificial sweetener aspartame may be to blame．
The study found a link but could not surely determine whether sodas and other sweet soft drinks cause depression．Still，the results"are consistent with a small but growing body of evidence suggesting that artificially sweetened beverages may be linked to poor health outcomes．"
But there's a bright side for those who can't live without their daily sodas．Adults who drank coffee had a 10 percent lower risk of depression compared to people who didn't drink any coffee，according to the study．"Our research suggests that cutting out or down on sweetened diet drinks or replacing them with unsweetened coffee may naturally help lower your depression risk，"said Chen．

41．What has the new study of more than 260，000 people found？C
A．Sugary sodas aren't good for the physical health of old people．
B．Americans have a special tooth for sweet foods．
C．Sweetened soft-drinks may increase the risk of depression．
D．Sweetened soft-drinks have important physical consequences．
42．What do we know about the process of the study？D
A．About twenty-six thousand people participated in it．
B．The oldest participants were below 80 when the study was over．
C．Most of the participants had depression when the study was over．
D．The study lasted more than ten years from the beginning to the end．
43．We infer that the underlined word"aspartame"in Paragraph 4 refers to something thatD
A．can reduce the harm of sweetened drinks
B．is used to reduce the risk of depression
C．is mainly used to make fruit punch
D．is used to make something．sweet
44．It is implied in the passage thatA．
A．more research is needed to confirm the new findings
B．the new findings aren't consistent with any previous findings
C．cutting one's sodas intake will surely reduce one's depression
D．the new findings won't have an impact on people's drinking habits

B：Unsweetened coffee．
C．Sugary coffee．
D．Fruit punch．
