17.Two girls living next door to each other-a seemingly plain scene that has two very different life.stories behind it.
Chi Zhen,an 18-year-old student in Seville,Spain,used his camera to tell the story of two lives,which went widespread online.Comments on the photos indicate that they have inspired many,to believe that the future is in their own hands.
Chi has seen many youths living life without a goal,wasting their time and blaming bad luck for it.
Feeling regret for them,he took a series of photos of his friends Veronica and Anna Maria,both freshmen at the University of Seville in Spain.They live completely different life styles and are getting opposite results.
Chi hopes the photos will inspire those who have let go of their own fate (命运).
In the photos,Anna Maria,a Spanish girl,can be seen watching a TV programme.She spends most of her time in front of her laptop.She rarely goes out,because she thinks she's not attractive and doesn't know what to say in social situations."'I'm not as lucky as Veronica,"she often says.
But she doesn't know that while she's wasting time watching TV,-Veronica,the"lucky"girl next door,has taught herself four foreign languages and traveled to many places.She goes to the library frequently  and her extensive knowledge and experience allow her to take part in any conversation and become the center of attention.
Chi thinks that Anna Maria resembles many of his Chinese.friends who study abroad.They are trapped to their little circles,never trying to change their fate./'They say'maybe I'll do it in my next life',but they are in their 20s,their best time.How can they give up hope and accept this as their life?"Chi says.
The influence of the photos has gone far beyond what Chi expected.One user commented on his photos on Renren.com,saying,"A wall separates two worlds,and the life we have depends on what we do."Another is determined to make a change right away."I'm turning off my laptop and not watching TV anymore,"he wrote.
29.What would be the best title of the text?D
A.A lucky dog in social circles                      
B.Comments on the photos
C.A photo separates two worlds.
D.Tales of two opposite lives
30.It can be concluded from the widespread photos online that _A'
A.life one has depends on what one does               
B.Anna is an attractive girl with a goal
C.Veronica is much luckier than Anna             
D.Chi wastes his time in taking photos
31.According to the text,VeronicaC.
A.likes watching TV programmes

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了18岁的池振用相机记录了两个女孩各不相同的生活经历,Anna Maria只因认为自己不漂亮,就自怨自艾,不愿意出门,而Veronica是邻家女孩,自学了四门外语,去过很多地方,她经常去图书馆,拥有丰富的知识和经验,这让她参加任何对话,都成为人们关注的中心,这两个女孩的照片引发了网友的疯传.

解答 29.D.标题推断题.通读全文,可知文字主要讲18岁的池振用相机记录了两个女孩各不相同的生活经历,并引发了网友的疯传,因此最合适的标题为两个相反的生活的故事;故选D.
30.A.推理判断题.根据文章最后一段"A wall separates two worlds,and the life we have depends on what we do."两个世界一墙之隔,我们的生活能够拥有什么取决于我们做什么,可知作者想通过两个女孩的故事告诉我们生活能够拥有什么取决于我们做什么;故选A.
31.C.细节理解题.根据文章第七段"and her extensive knowledge and experience allow her to take part in any conversation and become the center of attention",可知Veronica丰富的知识和经验,让她参加任何对话,都成为人们关注的中心;故选C.
32.D.细节理解题.根据文章倒数第二段"Chi thinks that Anna Maria resembles many of his Chinese.friends who study abroad.They are trapped to their little circles,never trying to change their fate"Chi认为,Anna Maria像他的许多来自中国的留学生同学一样.他们被困在自己的小圈子,不去尝试改变自己的命运;可知中国留学生只待在自己的小圈子里;故选D.

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

18.John Wesley Powell(1834-1902)Was a famous explorer of the American West.When he Was young,his mother put him under the guidance of George Crookham,a self-taught scientist,from whom he received a wide,but informal,education.Young John learned many things about the natural sciences.But his father preferred him to study religion.The argument continued for three years.Then John decided to leave home to seek further education.He soon discovered that he knew more about science than any teacher he met.He realized that the only good scientific education in the country came from colleges in the east,like Harvard and Yale.But he Was too poor to go to them,SO he got work as a school teacher in Illinois.Whenever possible,he went on scientific trips of his own.  
In 1861,civil war broke out in the United States.John joined the Union forces of the North.At the battle of Shiloh Powell lost his right arm.Despite his disability,he began his famous exploration of the Colorado River on May 24 1869.
It Was one of the greatest trips of discovery in the history of America.Never before had any white men traveled to that area.The trip Was far more dangerous than expected.The rivers were filled with rocky areas and waterfalls.Sometimes,the boats overturned or broke into pieces against big rocks.All along the way,Powell measured distances,temperatures,heights,depths and currents.He examined soils,rocks and plant life.Powell'S explorations led to the creation of US Geological Survey,which became responsible for all mapping and scientific programs of American lands.
Powell's scientific studies of western lands shaped his ideas of how those lands should be used.He suggested programs to control both crop farming and cattle raising.He Was especially concerned about water supplies.Many of his ideas were rejected at first and were not signed into law until years after his death because they were far ahead of his time.
66.Who do you think had a major influence on John Wesley Powell'S life?B

D.The teachers in Harvard and Yale.
67.John argued with his father becauseC.
A.his father refused him to leave home   
B.he wanted to go to college
C.his father wanted him to study religion
D.he wanted to work instead of study
68.The author wrote about John's experience of the civil war in order to show his following  characters exceptC.
A.his courage          B.his determination
C.his bad fortune      D.his braveness
69.What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us?B
A.The great discovery Powell made for America.
B.The difficulties and importance of Powell's exploration.
C.The way Powell carried out his great exploration.
D.The cause of the creation of US Geological Survey.
70.From the text we can see thatD
A.Harvard University gave Powell much support for his exploration
B.John was the first American to travel to the Colorado River
C.most of Powell'S ideas were signed into law before he died
D.Powell'S explorations caused the creation of US Geological Survey.
5.On a recent trip to California,I stopped by Natural Bridges,where the monarch butterflies overwinter.Many years ago,I livedclose enough to it that I could walk there regularly and study their gatherings-the most memorable experiences when living in California,This visit,however,turned out to be disappointing.Though the way to the protected monarch garden looked just as I remembered it,I spotted only a few butterflies there.So I had to drive about a mile south to Lighthouse Field a more open area visited by large numbers of bikers,dog walkers and tourists.Many monarehs-at least several hundred-gathered in a small forest of pines there.Why had they moved to this less hospitable habitat-John Dayton,a biologist from San Jose provided an answer.During the 1990s,a deadly disease killed off most large pines sheltering the monarch habitats at Natural Bridges,forcing monarchs to seek shelter elsewhere.Still,since the mid-1990s,the number of overwintering monarchs in California has declined by nearly 90 percent.Butterfly populations at Santa Paula  alone,for example,have dropped from about 120,000 to less than 1,000-the lowest figure in two decades.
In California,coastal development has reduced the area suitable for overwintering monarchs. Illegal logging,poorly regulated tourism and water withdrawals near the butterfly habitais are also  endangering the butterflies.
Throughout the butterflies'North American range,declines in milkweed plants-which monarchs need to reproduce-are also knocking down the insect's numbers.Chemicals are widely applied,wiping out the milkweed once growing in the agricultural land.
Climate change may worsen the monarchs'situation.As atmospheric levels of CO2 continue to rise,milkweeds are likely to produce fewer toxic compounds(有毒化合物) that protect both butterflies and caterpillars (幼虫) from their enemies.Milkweed leaves also may get tougher. Caterpillars will have a harder time chewing the leaves.
66.Why did the author feel disappointed during his revisit to Natural Bridges?C
A.Because it had been overpopulated with Monarchs.
B.Because the monarch's living habit was changed a lot.
C.Because fewer monarch butterflies overwintered there.
D.Because the people there were not so hospitable as before.
67.Where did the author find those monarchs moved?A
A.Natural Bridges                  B.Lighthouse Field                  
C.San Jose                         D.Santa Paula
68.What caused a sharp decline of overwintering monarchs according to Para 3?A
A.The loss of large pines.        B.A disease of monarchs.
C.Water pollution.                D.Too many caterpillars.
69.According to the passage,the decline of the milkweeds is connected withD.
A.coastal development              B.illegal logging
C.poorly regulated tourism        D.the abuse of chemicals
70.Which diagram shows correctly how the passage is developed?(P=paragraph)D
12.Claustrophobia
Claustrophobia,or fear of enclosed spaces,is one of the most common fears.Claustrophobia can be deep fear or even panic as a result of being in a small space.
Claustrophobia can develop after a troubling childhood experience ( such as being trapped in a small space during a childhood game),or from another unpleasant experience later on in life related to small spaces ( such as being stuck in a lift).(71)DThis response then becomes programmed in the brain,making an association between being in a tight space and feeling anxious or out-of-control.As a result,the person often develops claustrophobia.
According to Mark Powers,Ph.D.,Associate Professor of Psychology at Southern Methodist University,"Claustrophobia is a specific fear and not a type of panic disorder.The primary specific danger forecasts for claustrophobia are that either the person will be trapped or run out of air."
(72)GClaustrophobia symptoms can include:sweating,accelerated heartbeat,upset stomach,passing out,light-headedness,shaking,breathing problem,etc.
Some common situations can cause anxiety in claustrophobia sufferers.The claustrophobia sufferer will look for an exit when inside a room,avoid driving on the highway or major roads where there is heavy traffic when inside a car,avoid taking lifts when inside a building,or stand near a door when at a party.(73)E
Claustrophobia can have harmful social and psychological effects,since the patient will often avoid situations in which she thinks she will have an anxiety attack,leading to hiding and sadness.
(74)A According to Dr.Powers,"Exposure treatment,a form of mind-behavioral treatment,usually results in a total reduction in anxiety symptoms if conducted properly."
Flooding is a type of exposure treatment in which the person is exposed to a situation until the anxiety attack passes; a less extreme form of exposure treatment is counter-conditioning.Counter conditioning includes behavior treatment,as the person is taught visualization and relaxation techniques before being slowly reintroduced to the cause situation.
(75)FMedications to help treat claustrophobia include things which help to ease the heart pounding often associated with anxiety attacks.

A.The good news is that claustrophobia is very treatable.
B.The past experience can trace back to the moment of birth.
C.According to some doctors,claustrophobia is worse than the fear of heights.
D.When a person experiences such an event,it can often cause a frightening panic attack.
E.In extreme cases,the very sight of a closed door can lead to feelings of anxiety in a person.
F.Treatment for claustrophobia can also include medication or a combination of several treatments.
G.When a person with claustrophobia finds herself in a restricted space,her body responds in certain ways.
2.Whether or not to go university will probably be the biggest educational decision you ever make.After battling with student finance,deciding whether or not to take a year out can be as terrifying as deciding where to move to for the three years.
Some students will have planned their year out for months,but,for others,slipped grades may force a gap year (间隔年),either to retake exams or to apply to different universities.Others might just need time to think.Thankfully,for U.K.Students,taking a gap year remains a good option and it can be one of the most productive and fulfilling years of their life.
Whether you've planned and budgeted for a year abroad,or have made a last-minute decision to delay your first year,the options are endless.Traveling,volunteering and so on are all there for the talking,With so many things on offer,it's important to remember that 12months won't be enough time to do all of them,so decide early and work towards making whatever you want to do a reality.
Researching a gap year is exciting,and often the place to start is at home.Family and fiends can be a great source of inspiration.Your school or college might fully equipped to advise you on what to do when further education is on hold.Don't understimate(低估)the power of the Internet,either.Typing a"gap year"into a search engine might seem too obvious,but planning to travel around the world for months on your own is not appropriate.
To stay at home or go abroad is likely to be the first question you consider,but in this era of budget flights,doing both is practicable.A European inter-rail ticket(火车票)can be as little as£159.For those loving traveling,they must be on the special watchfulness for tricks in the process.Agencies can organize your year abroad for you,and often,it is more effective to make the bookings through the agencies.But flights and other forms of transport within Asia and America are much cheaper when bought in the countries rather than bought in advance.

32.According to Paragragh 2,why do other students have to take a gap year?C
A.Because they are faced with financial problems
B.Because they dislike what they are learning
C.Because they haven't got satisfying grades
D.Because they intend to hang out for a year
33.The underline words"on hold"in Paragragh 4mean"B"
A.taken in     B.Put off    C.Given up     D.Turned put
34.What can we learn from the last paragragh?D
A.Few students can afford to go abroad
B.Traveling around Europe costs nothing
C.It's better to go to Asia and south America
D.Travellers should make sure they aren't cheated
35.The auther's attitude towards a gap year may best described asA
A.Supportive     B.negative      C.Defensive     D.Sensitive.
9.Music for Humans and Humpback Whales
As researchers conclude in Science,the love of music is not only a universal feature of the human species,but is also deeply fixed in complex structures of the human brain,and is far more ancient than previously suspected.
In the articles that discuss the field of bio-musicology,the study of the biological basis for the creation and appreciation of music,researchers present various evidence to,show that music-making is at once an original human"business",and an art form with skillful performers throughout the animal kingdom.
The new reports stress that humans hold no copyright on sound wisdom,and that a number of nonhuman animals produce what can rightly be called music,rather than random sound.Recent in-depth analyses of the songs sung by humpback whales show that,even when their organ would allow them to do otherwise,the animals converge on the same choices relating to sounds and beauty,and accept the same laws of song composition as those preferred by human musicians,and human ears,everywhere.
For example,male humpback whales,who spend six months of each year doing little else but singing,use rhythms (节奏) similar to those found in human music and musical phrases of similar length-a few seconds.Whales are able to make sounds over a range of at least seven octaves (八度音阶),yet they tend to move on through a song in beautiful musical intervals,rather than moving forwards madly.They mix the sounds like drums and pure tones in a ratio (比例) which agrees with that heard in much western music.They also use a favorite technique of human singers,the so-called A-B-A form,in which a theme is stated,then developed,and then returned to in slightly revised form.
Perhaps most impressive,humpback songs contain tunes that rhyme."This suggests that whales use rhyme in the same way we do:as a technique in poem to help them remember complex material,"the researchers write.

63.The underlined words"converge on"in Paragraph 3probably meansA.
A.tend towards  B.refer to  C.turn into  D.put forward
64.Which of the following shows the advanced musical ability in humpback whales?B
A.They can remember complex material.
B.They can create pleasing patterns of music.
C.They can make sounds like drums continuously.
D.They can sing along with rhythms of western music.
65.What is the main idea of the article?D
A.Animals are able to compose and enjoy music like humans.
B.Human beings borrow ideas in music from humpback whales.
C.Humpback whales are skillful performers in the animal kingdom.
D.Music-making it an ancient activity of both humans and animals.
66.The main purpose of the passage is toB.
A.argue and discuss        B.inform and explain
C.compare and advertise    D.examine and assess.
