分析 文章讲述作者过去曾因为年迈的奶奶言行举止有些怪异而感到耻辱,后来奶奶有机会站在学校舞台讲述自己的经历并深受欢迎,从而作者对奶奶的看法发生了根本性的改变.

解答 16---20 CACDB     21---25 DBCDA    26---30 DCAAB        31---35 CBDBA
16.C 根据第一句"I used to be ashamed of my grandma"以及后文可知,作者过去对奶奶错误的看法或态度是一件很糟糕的事情.funny滑稽可笑的;terrible可怕的,糟糕的;common常见的;clear清晰的.

20.B 根据动词的用法可排除A、C;再根据后文作者担心奶奶会听见受到伤害可以推断出Katy只是假装要宣扬这件事.enjoying喜欢,享受;pretending假装;imagining享受;continuing继续.
21.D 上下文串联.从上文get down on my knees(双膝跪下),可以推断作者是恳求语气,beg sb to do sth乞求某人做某事.其他三项Warn警告;demand;要求advise建议均不符合题意.
22.B 上下文串联.从上句中shut up(闭嘴)一词可以得知作者不想让奶奶听到嘲笑而受到伤害. mind介意;hear听到,听见see看见fall落下,掉下.故选hear.
23.C 联系上下文可知,作者意识到奶奶会引起很多不愉快的事情.expect盼望,期待;declare宣告,宣称;realize意识到;doubt怀疑.

25.A 根据前文but 可知,作者的态度应与弟弟的态度相反,再结合作者对奶奶的态度可排除B项cheer使振奋,使欢呼;disappear 消失,不符语意,suffer受苦,遭受;此处用die表示作者十分生气失望的心情.
26.D 作者希望把奶奶藏起来,不让奶奶出来引起麻烦. meet遇见;avoid避免;arrange安排; hide躲藏,故选D
27.C inconvenient 不便利的,不方便的,主语不能为人,故排除;结合语意可知父母不希望让奶奶感到在家里不受欢迎.Independent独立的;inconvenient不方便的;unwelcome不受欢迎的;unfamiliar不熟悉的.
28.A 此处为本文的转折点,根据下文可知,作者对奶奶的看法发生了根本性的改变.finish结束;stop停止; prepare准备;changed改变.

12.Here is an astonishing and significant fact:mental work alone can't make us tired.It sounds absurd.But a few years ago,scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue(疲劳).To the amazement of these scientists,they discovered that blood passing through the brain,when it is active,shows no fatigue at all!
If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer,we would find it full of fatigue toxins and fatigue products.But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein,it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.
So far as the brain is concerned,it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning.The brain is totally tireless.So what makes us tired?Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional attitudes.One of England's most outstanding scientists,J.A.Hadfield,says,"The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin.In fact,fatigue of purely physical origin is rare."Dr.Brill,a famous American scientist,goes even further.He declares,"One hundred percent of the fatigue of sitting workers in good health is due to emotional problems."
What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired?Joy?Satisfaction?No!A feeling of being bored,anger,anxiety,tenseness,worry,a feeling of not being appreciated-those are the emotions that tire sitting workers.Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue.We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.
33.What surprised the scientists a few years ago?C
A.Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer's blood
B.Albert Einstein didn't feel worn after a day's work
C.The brain could work for many hours without fatigue
D.A mental worker's blood was filled with fatigue toxins
34.According to the author,which of the following can make sitting workers tired?B
A.Challenging mental work
B.Unpleasant emotions
C.Endless tasks
D.Physical labor
35.What's the author's attitude towards the scientists'idea?A
A.He agrees with them
B.He doubts them
C.He argues against them
D.He hesitates to accept them.
14.One day a few years ago we had a guest of the uninvited variety.In fact,it was a bird,(40)C,a sparrow.
"What's that?"I asked when I first heard the gentle thumping(重击声)."It sounds like Joe is outside playing basketball,"my wife,Anita,said.She(37)Band listened more devotedly."It's coming from the(38)C."she said."Maybe it's one of the little kids."We rushed out the door.Jonathan,our youngest,was(39)Ato make trouble."If he's making holes in the wall again…"I said as I searched there.No(40)Bat all.But there was that(41)Dagain,coming from right up there.

1.[1]Jean Paul Getty was born in 1892in Minneapolis,Minnesota.He became a millionaire when he was only 24.His father was wealthy,but he did not help his son.Getty made his millions alone.He made his money from oil.He owned Getty Oil and over 100other companies.The Fortune magazine once called Getty"the richest man in the world."
[2]But money  _____.He married five times and divorced five times.He had five children but spent little time with them.None of Getty's children had very happy lives.
[3]Getty loved to make money and loved to save it.In spite of his great wealth,Getty was miser.Every evening,he wrote down every cent he spent that day.He even put pay telephone in the guest's bedrooms in his house so he could save money on phone bills.
[4]In 1973,kidnappers took his 16-year-old grandson,and demanded a large amount of money for his safe return.Getty's son asked his father for money to save his child.But Getty refused.The kidnappers were merciless and Getty's son made repeated requests for help from his father.Finally,Getty agreed to lend the money,but at 4percent interest.
[5]Getty started a museum at his home Malibu,California.He bought many important and beautiful pieces of art for the museum.When Getty died in 1976,the value of the collection in the museum was﹩1billion.He left all his money to the museum.After his death,the museum grew in size.Today it is one of the most important museums in the United States.Getty made a large fortune in his life,but he gave his money to the art world because he wanted people to learn about and love art.

52.What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?(no more than 8words)

11.Most likely,you aren't the family breadwinner.But doing a small job or getting a weekly allowance (零花钱) would put some money in your pocket.For kids and grown-ups alike,money is easy to spend.If you aren't careful,it can be going in no time.
  Being responsible with your money is an important skill to learn-and the sooner you start the better.Whether you are tracking your spending or saving for something special,creating a budget can help you deal with your expenses and plan for the future.All you need are paper and a pencil-and some self-control.
  First,take a look at our sample monthly budget.Then,use a separate sheet of paper to plan your own.In the first two columns (栏),list your sources (来源) of income and how much you expect to earn from them.In the third and fourth columns,list what you expect to spend your money on and the amount.
  The left-hand total should be more than or equal to the right-hand total.If it is,you have an effective budget.Budgets are not complex,but sticking to them can be tough.When planning your budget,be realistic about your expenses.If you know that you drop  18 at a movie,don't write  12 in that space simply because you wish you were spending less.
  If you are eyeing a big purchase,such as a  150 skateboard,spend less and save more until you have the total amount.No matter how attractive it may be,avoid spending your savings.One day,you will thank yourself!

18.Flappy Bird

Be careful what you wish for,especially if you want to invent something new.Recently,Dong Nguyen,the designer of the mobile game Flappy Bird,removed it from app stores.He said its success-it had been downloaded more than 50million times and was making him around£30,000from advertising each day-had ruined his simple life.On his Twitter account,he said:"I cannot take this anymore."OK,so regretting making Flappy Bird isn't quite the same as regretting making a gun,but Nguyen is just the latest inventor who wished he hadn't created a monster.
The Labradoodle

The labradoodle isn't a monster-it's attractive.But what's unnatural is the way crossbreed (杂交的)dogs have been sold since the labradoodle's inventor,Wally Conron,first created the dog in the 1980s."I've done a lot of damage,"he told the media."I've created a lot of problems.There are a lot of unhealthy and dropped dogs out there."Conron came up with the labradoodle when he was working for the Royal Guide Dog Association of Australia to provide a dog for a blind woman whose husband was easily affected by dog hair.What he didn't expect was that the labradoodle-and other types of such dogs,many of which have health problems-would become so popular.
The AK-47

Six months before his death in December 2013,Mikhail Kalashnikov,the designer of the gun,wrote to the head of the Russian Orthodox Church:"I almost cannot deal with my mental pain.If my gun killed people,does that mean that I,93years of age,the son of a poor farmer,am responsible for people's deaths,even if they were enemies?"
Electronic Tagging

The electronic tag was originally made in the 1960s as a way of tracking former prisoners'presence at school and work,and rewarding them for good behavior.Its inventors,Bob Gable and his brother Kirkland,were later shocked that the tag had become a form of control and punishment."It's not pleasant,"Kirkland Gable told the Guardian in 2010,"but I'm not in control of the universe.I have to realize there are some things out of my control."
Pepper Spray

After police sprayed(喷射) peaceful protesters with pepper spray at a University of California campus in 2011,one of the scientists who helped develop it in the 80s criticized its use."I have never seen such an inappropriate use of chemicals,"Kamran Loghman told The New York Times.
The Office Cubicle

In the late 60s,a new form of office was designed to give workers privacy and increase productivity by providing more work space.Instead,it became a way for companies to put employees into tighter spaces.These days,the cubicle is often connected with uniformity and soulless work.Its inventor,Bob Propst,said,in 1997,"the use of cubicles in modern corporations is crazy."
Office Cubicle

55.Which of the following is Wrong according to the passage?D
A.The labradoodle was originally created to help people have a better life.
B.The inventor thought electronic tagging would give former prisoners more freedom.
C.The office cubicle was intended to provide personal life and improve work performance.
D.Pepper spray and the AK-47were used to kill enemies.
56.Which of the following inventions came first?C
A.Flappy Bird.         B.The labradoodle.
C.The office cubicle.  D.Pepper spray.
57.What's the best title of the six passages?A
A.Inventions their creators regret.
B.Products their creators praise.
C.Damages inventions cause.
D.Benefits inventions bring.
