12．In_____history of the NBA，Michael Jordan is_____really great success，who now still holds many records．（　　）
A．the；/B．the； theC．the； aD．/；/

分析 在美国职业篮球联赛历史上，迈克尔•乔丹是一名非常成功的人，他仍然保持着很多记录．

解答 答案是C．本题考查不定冠词和定冠词的用法．history属于抽象不可数名词，通常不加冠词表示"泛指"，所以in history表示泛指"在历史上"，但是如果被定语修饰表示特指某一方面的历史，则往往要加定冠词the，本题中特指NBA历史上，所以第一空用the．success是抽象不可数名词"成功"；但是英语中抽象不可数名词常常可以具体化为可数名词，表示"具体的人或事"，这时单数名词前往往用a/an；a success表示"成功的人或事"，根据句意"Michael Jordan 是一名成功者"，故第二空用a，答案是C．

点评 掌握冠词要关注两大方面：一是积累有关不定冠词、定冠词和零冠词的相关的规则；二是积累特掌殊的短语．

2．Dick was a twenty-year-old man．His father was a teacher and taught chemistry in a middle school and his mother worked in a shop．They lived a happy life until his parents died one night when suddenly an earthquake broke out．All that happened on his sixth birthday．Luckily his sister who was two years senior to him took him to see their aunt in the city and they did not stay at home．Everything was destroyed in the earthquake and the two children got into trouble．Thanks to their aunt who was not rich enough，they grew up but they lived a hard life．His sister was so sad that she became a nun（修女）．After he finished middle school，he was introduced to an owner of a hotel and began to work there．
One day the young man fell to the ground while he was cleaning a window on the second floor．He was sent to the hospital and the doctor looked him over．One of his legs was broken and he had to be in hospital．He said to the nurse，"I'm a poor man，madam．Arrange a third-class ward（病房） for me，please．"
"Can't anybody help you？"
"No，madam，"answered Dick．"I have only a sister．She's a nun and she's poor，too．"
"I don't think so，"the nurse said angrily．"Nuns usually marry God．And God is the richest in the world，you know!"
"Well，then，"Dick said with a smile．"Please arrange a first-class ward for me and post the bill to my brother-in-law．"

3．In colleges around the country，most students are also workers．
The reality of college can be pretty different from the images presented in movies and television．Instead of the students who wake up late，party all the time，and study only before exams，many colleges are full of students with pressing schedules of not just classes and activities，but real jobs，too．
This isn't a temporary phenomenon．The share of working students has been on the rise since the 1970s，and one-fifth of students work year round．About one-quarter of those who work while attending school have both a full-course load and a full-time job．The arrangement can help pay for tuition （学费） and living costs，obviously．And there's value in it beyond the direct cause：such jobs can also be critical for developing important professional and social skills that make it easier to land a job after graduation．With many employers looking for students with already-developed skill sets，on-the-job training while in college can be the best way to ensure a job later on．
But it's not all upside．Even full-time work may not completely cover the cost of tuition and living expenses．The study notes that if a student worked a full-time job at the federal minimum wage，they would earn just over $15，000 each year，certainly not enough to pay for tuition，room，and board at many colleges without some serious financial aid．That means that though they're sacrificing time away from the classroom，many working students will still graduate with at least some debt．And working full time can reduce the chance that students will graduate at all，by cutting into the time available for studying and attending classes．
There is little reward for attending but not finishing college．Students who wind up leaving school because of difficulty in managing work and class are likely to find themselves stuck in some of the same jobs they might have gotten if they hadn't gone at all．The difficulty of working too much while in school can create a cycle that pushes students further into debt without receiving any of the financial or career benefits．

A．they throw parties a lot
B．they stay up late every night
C．they work besides attending classes
D．they pay no attention to exams
58．What is the indirect cause of an increasing number of working students？D
A．The need of developing social networks．
B．The lack of summer jobs for young adults．

D．The chance of finding a job after graduation．
59．We can learn from the passage thatD．
A．working students are more likely to finish college
B．students can cover their college expenses through working
C．students receive a huge reward for managing work and class
D．dropping out of college may not help students get career benefits

4．From the health point of view we are living in an amazing age．We are free from many of the most dangerous diseases．A large number of once deadly illnesses can now be cured by modern medicine．It is almost certain that one day medicines will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases．The expectation of life has increased greatly．But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before，every day we witness the unbelievable killing of men，women and children on the roads．Man Vs the motor-car!It is a never-ending battle which man is losing．
Thousands of people all over the world are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen．It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel （方向盘），his car becomes the extension of his personality．There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man's very worst qualities．People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel．They say，they are ill-mannered and aggressive，willful as two-year-olds and completely selfish．Their hidden angers and disappointments seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving．
The surprising thing is that society smiles so gently on the motorist and seems to forgive his behavior．Everything is done for his convenience．Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic； towns are made ugly by huge car parks； the countryside is ruined by road networks； and the deaths become nothing more than a number every year，to be easily forgotten．
It is high time a world rule was created to reduce this senseless waste of human life．With regard to driving，the laws of some countries are unbelievable lenient （宽容的） and even the strictest are not strict enough．A rule which was universally accepted could only have an obviously beneficial effect on the accident
rate．
Here are a few examples of some of the things that might be done．The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is； all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so； the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21； all vehicles should be put through strict tests for safety each year．Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can damage a person's driving ability．Present drinking and driving laws（where they exist） should be made much stricter．Speed limits should be required on all roads．Governments should lay down safety specifications for car factories，as has been done in the USA．All advertising stress power and performance should be banned．These measures may not sound good enough．But surely nothing should be considered as too severe if it results in reducing the number of deaths．After all，the world is for human beings，not motor-cars．

66．What is the main idea of this passage？D
A．Traffic accidents are mainly caused by motorists．
B．Thousands of people all over the world are killed each year．
C．The laws of some countries about driving are too lenient．

1．Parents who help their children with homework may actually be bringing down their school grades．Other forms of prenatal involvement，including volunteering at school and observing a child's class，also fail to help，according to the most recent study on the topic．
The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting（养育子女） where schools expect them to act as partners in their children's education．Previous generations concentrated on getting children to school on time，fed，dressed and ready to learn．
Kaith Robinson，the author of the study，said，"I really don't know if the public is ready for this but there are some ways parents can be involved in their kids'education that leads to declines in their academic performance．One of the things that was consistently negative was parents'help with homework．"Robinson suggested that may be because parents themselves struggle to understand the task．"They may either not remember the material their kids are studying now，or in some cases never learnt it themselves，but they're still offering advice．"
Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do was to punish their children for poor marks．In general，about 20% of parental involvement was positive，about 45% negative and the rest statistically insignificant．
Common sense suggests it was a good thing for parents to get involved because"children with good academic success do have involved parents"，admitted Robinson．But he argued that this did not prove parental involvement was the root cause of that success．"A big surprise was that Asian-American parents whose kids are doing so well in school hardly involved．They took a more reasonable approach，conveying to their children how success at school could improve their lives．"

30．The underlined expression"parental involvement"in Paragraph 1probably means．C
A．parents'expectation on children's health
B．parents'control over children's life
C．parents'participation in children's education
D．parents'plan for children's future
31．What is the major finding of Robinson's study？D
A．Modern parents raise children in a more scientific way．
B．Punishing kids for bad marks is mentally damaging．
C．Parents are not able to help with children's homework．
D．Parental involvement is not so beneficial as expected．
32．The example of Asian-American parents implies that parents should．B
A．set a specific life goal for their children
B．help children realize the importance of schooling
C．spend more time improving their own lives
D．take a more active part in school management．
