3．---It_____ for a whole week．I think it'll stop soon．
---Hard say．We're getting into the rainy season now．（　　）
A．has rainedB．has been raining
C．is rainingD．will rain

分析 --已经下了一个星期的雨了．我想很快雨会停的．
--很难说．我们现在快进入了雨季了．

解答 答案是B．本题考查现在完成进行时．题干中"for a whole week"是与现在相联系的段时间，是现在完成时的标志，故排除C 和D；现在完成进行时表示从过去某时开始到现在这一段时间里一直延续着的动作还在继续进行；而完成时表明动作已经结束；由句中"I think it will stop soon"推断还在下雨，故选B．

点评 完成进行时的解题首先要理解其时态的基本用法--表示从过去某时开始到现在这一段时间里一直延续着的动作，特别关注其"在进行中"的特征；然后在语境中寻找动作的时间依据进行判断．

13．Telling fewer lies benefits people physically and mentally．Anita Kelly，study author and professor of psychology at the University of Notre Dame，recruited 110adults for her study．She divided them into two groups and asked one group to stop lying for 10weeks．Lies included big ones and tiny ones-any false statement-but participants were still allowed to leave out the truth，keep secrets and avoid questions they didn't want to answer，etc．The other group wasn't given any special instructions about lying．
It turns out that both groups reduced their lying，but those who were specifically told to tell the truth improved their health more．"We found that the participants could purposefully and dramatically reduce their everyday lies，and that in turn was associated with significantly improved health，"said Kelly．
When participants in the no-lie group told three fewer white lies than they did in other weeks，they experienced，on average，fewer mental-health complaints and physical complaints．They were less likely to feel tense or sad and also experienced fewer sore throats and headaches．They also reported that personal relationships improved．Additionally，participants found themselves being honest about their daily accomplishments，and they stopped making up excuses for being late or failing to complete a task，for example．
"It's certainly a worthy goal to have people be more honest and interact with others in a more honest way，"says psychologist Robert Feldman．"That would be beneficial．I'm a little doubtful that it makes us all healthier，but it may make us healthier in a psychological way．"

72．Which of the following is true according to the text？C．
A．People who tell lies are healthier than those who don't
B．Being honest can help cure sore throats and headache
C．Not all the participants were required to tell the truth
D．Participants involved are asked not to keep secrets
73．The participants of the two groupsC．
A．told as many lies as before
B．were almost equally healthy
C．tended to lie less about their activities

74．From Robert Feldman，we can learn thatB．
A．white lies might make people have more complaints

11．Reading Oliver James'Affluenza，I thought about what often happens at home．  My 12-year-old daughter is in tears．"I have to take a test tomorrow．I don't understand any of it，"she cries out．After shouting and shutting her door，she calms down enough to go through her notes．The following day I ask her how the test went and she just says"OK．I got a nine"．
"Wow，well done!"I say，before she finishes with"But I never get a ten!"
    According to James，this obsession with getting top marks has been a bad development，which encourages people to think of education in terms of work and money．To test this，I asked my daughter why she was so worried about her tests．She looked at me as if I was thick．"Well，if I don't get good grades，I won't get into university．Then I probably won't get a good job and I won't be able to afford nice things like a ear and stuff．"
    I was quite surprised，because I don't consider myself a pushy parent．But James suggests  showing any interest in grades sends the message that what is important is results and it leaves students feeling failures even if they are very bright．He points to the Danish system（体制）of  education as a better model．Creating happy citizens who have good social skills is seen as more important than high achievements at school or the needs of business．
    For me．I cannot remember the last time I had to work out the area of a circle，recite a  Shakespeare poem or grammar rules，yet I have lived a happy life．What I really needed to learn at school was how to make polite conversations，or how to avoid getting into debt or how to develop good personality．
    This is in fact similar to what Oliver James really has in mind．And he is looking for schools
where students are encouraged to find and follow their own interests，something more like Tongjon．Tongjon has been developed in some Korean private schools．It is quite different from the more rigid system of learning things by heart that is used in Korea，and indeed in many other school systems around the world．
  As the Russian poet Pushkin said，"Inspiration（灵感） is needed in geometry（几何学） just as much as in poetry"，and inspiration does not come from endlessly revising for tests or getting worried about them．
62．What does the writer probably think of his/her daughter？D
A．She sets herself a goal too high to reach．
B．She should be more polite to her parents．
C．She is hard-working but not very bright．
D．She takes her grades much too seriously．
63．what dose the underlined word"obsession"in Paragraph 3 mean？D
A．A plan and unavoidable fact
B．A satisfied and very proud state
C．A practical and widely-used way
D．A fixed and often unreasonable idea
64．What can we infer from the passage？B
A．Social skills are as important as high grades．
B．Interest in grades can shake self-confidence．
C．The writer regrets not having studied hard at school．
D．Danish educational system is for very smart students．
65．The writer wants to tell us thatA．
A．learning happily is the key to self-development
B．top marks may be helpful to increase one'S interest
C．tests should be improved to give children inspiration
D．education should meet one's needs for work and money．
18．You don't exactly have to jump on the next plane in order to see Venice while it's stillaround，but scientists are warning that only a miracle--or more advanced engineering than exists today--can save one of the world's most fabled （神话般的） cities of art and architecture，especially in view of global warming and the possibilities of ocean levels rising 6meters．The most recent reports indicate that Venice is sinking faster than had been predicted．The gloomiest forecast is that the waters of the Adriatic Sea could destroy Venice within this century，especially if global warming causes waters to rise even faster．What a catastrophe that would be．Surely there is no more absurd monument to the foolishness of mankind than Venice，a fantasy city on the sea．
Once you arrive and are amazed by all the architectural wonders and riches of Venice，its
vivid colors of sienna，Roman old，and ruby peach，you may think that reports of tide damage are overblown．But once you experience your first flood and see for yourself how close the sea is to sweeping over Venice，you'll most likely change your mind．
Pollution，uncontrolled tides （潮水），and just plain old age are eating away daily the
treasures of this cherished city of art．As the debate rages about how to save Venice，with no real solution in sight，the waters just keep rising．
Why did those"insane （神志不　清的）"Venetians build on such swampy islands and not on
dry land，of which there was plenty centuries ago？
In an effort to flee the barbarians．（野蛮人），Venetians left dry dock and drifted out to a group of low islands in the lagoon （泻湖）．For a long time，Venice did avoid foreign armies'intent on invading，burning，and plundering．Eventually，Napoleon and his forces arrived；however，they were never to destroy Venice．
Foreign visitors have conquered Venire in ways most invading armies did not．Some 10million people visit Venire every year--and that's only counting the visitors who actually spend the night．Since Venice is known as an expensive city and has only a limited number of accommodations，there are countless day-trippers rushing in every day，all summer long．

54．The passage covers the following aspects about．Venire EXCEPTC
A．geography        B．history         C．traffic             D．culture
55．Which of the following can be the greatest threat to Venice？A
A．Constant global warming．
B．Unbelievable crowds of visitors．
C．Unbearable accommodation prices．
D．Foreign countries'powerful invasion．
56．What can we infer about Venice from this passage？B
A．It will eventually be destroyed by waters of the Adriatic sea．
B．It has been a wealthy andartistic city throughout the history．
C．Foreign visitors have broughtmore damage to it than foreign armies have．
D．The ancient Venetians were foolish enough to build it in such a place．
57．By writing this passage，the author actually means toB
A．advise tourists to remove Venice from their tour lists
B．introduce to tourists some unique informs，tion about Venice
C．warn tourists oftbe possible dangers wben visiting venice
D．appeal to tourists to protect Venice by reducing their visits．
8．Although it remains unclear to this day ______ The Library of Alexandria was destroyed，the leading theory is that Julius Caesar set a fire that unintentionally burned it down．（　　）

12．Many people think that listening is a passive business．It is just the opposite．Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work．It is because they do not realize this，or because they are not willing to do the work，that most people do not listen well．
    Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else．An essential part of listening well is the rule known as‘bracketing'．Bracketing（归入同一类） includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices（偏见） and desires，to experience as far as possible someone else's world from the inside，stepping into his or her shoes．Moreover，since listening well involves bracketing，it also involves（包括）a temporary acceptance of the other person．Sensing this acceptance，the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener．True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished（完成）only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth．
    Most of the time we lack this energy．Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well，what we are usually doing is listening selectively．Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder，as we listen，how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us．Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening，or we simply refuse to listen to what we don't want to hear．
    It wasn't until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic（有疗效的） In about a quarter of the patients I saw，surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy（心理疗法），before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained．There are several reasons for this phenomenon，but chief among them，I believe，was the patient's sense that he or she was being truly listened to，often for the first time in years，and for some，perhaps for the first time ever．
66．The phrase"stepping into his or her shoes"in paragraph 2 probably meansB．
A．preparing a topic list first

C．directing the talk to the desired results

67．What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2？C

D．Problems in listening

A．listen purposefully             
B．listen actively     
C．set aside their prejudices          
D．open up their inner mind

A．they were taken good care of．B．they knew the roots of problems．
C．they had partners to talk to．D．they knew they were truly listened to．
