扎克伯格每年都会定下一个挑战目标,从而拓宽自己是视野,对世界了解更多.今年他打算每两周就读完一本书,他邀请了三千万的追随者组成读书俱乐部,他在自己的社交网站上专门设置一个读书网页和其他的读者交流.

解答 61.what.考查名词性从句.could be the world's largest ever book club 做 has launched 的宾语从句,缺少主语,用what.  
62.to read.考查非谓语动词.根据主语his New Year's resolution (他的新年决心)可知谓语动词应该用过去进行时,所以用was to read表示"将要读".   
63.followers.考查名词.根据his 30million 可知用名词复数followers 表示"他三千万的追随者".  
64.on.考查介词.根据先行词his own Facebook page called A Year of Books,可知从句表示"在这个网页上".which代指先行词,所以前面用on.     
65.will announce.考查谓语动词的时态.根据62题可知这是他将要做的事,所以用将来时态.        
66.saying.考查非谓语动词.say):"I'm excited for my reading challenge是前句的伴随状语,而且say和主语He是主动关系,所以用saying.    
67.fully.考查副词.修饰动词短语explore a topic 用副词.     
68.deeper.考查比较级.根据  than most media today可知形容词用比较级.     
69.held.考查谓语动词的语态.定语从句的主语that代指先行词power,和hold之间是被动关系,所以谓语动词是was held. 
70.as.考查介词.根据to broaden his perspectives and learn more about the world可知这是他开拓视野的一种方法,所以用as表示"作为".

点评 考查语法填空.介词+which的用法.
在定语从句中,用某一特定介词+关系代词which,可以表示某一相应的关系副词,比如:
when=during/on/in+which(表示时间)
e.g.I still remember the day when(=on which) I first came to the school.我依然记得我第一次来到学校的那一天.
where=in/at/on+which (表示地点)
e.g.Shanghai is the city where (=in which) I was born.上海是我出生的地方.
why=for+which(表示原因)
e.g.I don't know the reason why (=for which)he looks unhappy today.我不知道他今天不开心的原因.

7.The Focal Point of the"Chinese Liquor Golden Triangle"
In China,there is a saying:a good spirit(wine) is in Sichuan,but the great one is in Yibin.
Yibin,the birthplace of Wuliangye,has a centuries-old tradition of producing great spirits.At the confluence of Jinsha and Min rivers,Yibin is praised as the first city on the source of the Yangtze River.Here,the water is clean,the soil is rich,and the climate is very favorable for brewing good liquor.The blessings of nature and centuries-old liquor brewing traditions gave rise to"The Ten-Mile Liquor City",the main production facility of domestic liquor giant Wuliangye Group Co.Ltd.
Extending across 10 kilometers and dotted with gardens and sculptures,the city attracts domestic and foreign visitors with its famed liquor brewing and related culture.Another attraction is its legendary Ming Dynasty (1368-1644AD) liquor cellars (酒窖,地下储藏室).
The city has 30,000 large modern brewing tanks that provide an enormous capacity to store liquor.
The high quality of Wuliangye also owes much to its unique brewing techniques and materials.These traditional techniques are included on the list of national intangible(非物质的) cultural heritage.
Wuliangye's sales revenues(销售额)and pre-tax profits accounted for nearly half of the respective (分别的) 59 billion yuan and 12.5 billion yuan generated by Sichuan's provincial liquor industry in 2008.Liquor production by large enterprises in the province was about 1.1 million kiloliters,accounting for 19.6% of the production in the country.
Wuliangye is now investing 300 million yuan in a state-of-the-art quality assurance center (质保中心)that has higher standards than national requirements,which will boost the existing quality-control system when it is put into service next year.
With a goal of production value of 100 billion yuan for the year of 2020,Wuliangye is playing a leading role in the development of the liquor industry in the region.A lot of related industries are now building up in the region to create a Chinese Liquor Golden Triangle-the Chinese equivalent (相当于)of the French Bordeaux region---that continues to appear on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage above?A
A.Compared with the western countries,Chinese wines have a long way to go.
B.The Golden Triangle is known for its wines and related industries.
C.Wuliangye's pre-tax profit accounted for nearly 6.25 billion in 2008.

5.This afternoon,my office sent out over 34,000e-mail notifications to high school seniors who were waiting to learn whether they would be invited to spend the next four years at Stanford.Even though I have been in the admission field for over 30years,I still feel the pain of the many exceptional youths who were not offered places.
Given that today's teens already have enough pressure in their lives,I wish to impart (告知) three messages to any particularly disappointed parents.
First,it's all relative.While the number admitted into the undergraduate (本科的) class has remained unchanged for years,Stanford,like many of its peer (同类的) schools,has had a record number of total applicants-more than 42,000.Regardless of arguments over whether too much preference is given to one category over another,thousands of students are going to be turned away,and there is no doubt that the vast majority of them could have met the demands of a Stanford education.
I wish there were a formula (公式) to explain who is accepted and who isn't,but the decision-making is as much art as it is science.Each class is a symphony with its own distinct composition (乐曲)and sound.The final roster (花名册) is an effort to create harmony (和谐),and that means that some extraordinary bass players don't get a chair.What's more,even among my staff (员工) there are legitimate (合理的) differences about applicants.
Second,celebrate the bigger picture.Most of the applications I reviewed are truly remarkable.The transition from high school to college is a turning point,and it's more important to focus on how a young adult is moving on to a new stage than where that stage happens to be.You should mark the success of your children and rejoice (喜悦) in the excitement that the next four years will bring.
And that leads to my final point:education is what a student makes of it.Of course,certain schools have resources (资源) that others don't,but they all offer opportunities to learn and to grow.Thousands of applicants who aren't accepted to Stanford go on to have fulfilling lives.What parents and college applicants across the country need to remember is that the news they receive,whether good or bad,is but a single step on a much longer journey.

29.Which of the following statements might the author agree with?B
A.Bass players,even some extraordinary ones,have little chance of being accepted by Stanford.
B.Those who fail to get admitted into Stanford don't necessarily do worse than those who make it.
C.Those who fail to get admitted by Stanford probably wouldn't meet the demands of a Stanford education.
D.There are more students applying to study at Stanford than its peer schools in the US.
30.In the last two paragraphs,the author intends to convey the message thatD.
A.most colleges offer students the same resources as Stanford does
B.Stanford offers the best opportunities for young adults to learn and grow
C.parents should tell their children that this rejection will only make them stronger
D.it's not which college that students enter but what they do there that counts
31.What is the main purpose of the article?B
A.To congratulate those who have been admitted into Stanford.
B.To tell parents that there is no need to feel down if their children weren't admitted to Stanford.
C.To inform us what kinds of applicants are more likely to be accepted by Stanford.
D.To inform us of the characteristics of a Stanford education.
