分析 本文是一篇简报，主要回顾了2010 年发生在美国的一些事情．主要介绍了在2010 年发生的大事、出名的影片、死亡事件及人物和一些经典语录等方面．

解答 46．B    细节理解题．   根据"Major events"部分第一段的最后一句"Earlier in the year，aeroplanes were grounded all over Europe for weeks，when ash from Icelandic volcano Eyjafijiallaokuii made flying too dangerous"可知，是火山灰导致飞机飞行危险，因此所有航班取消，故答案为B．
47．A   推理判断题． 根据第三部分Death可知，‘Corey Haim'是  teen icon青少年的偶像，可以推知，他比较年轻，‘Dennis Hopper'至少六十岁以上，故排除B；‘Norman Wisdom'九十四岁，故排除C；‘Tony Curtis'八十五岁，故排除D，因此答案为A．
48．C    推理判断题．第二部分film 中，根据划线的词的上下文"Movie watching'took a giant leap fordward in 2010 with the return of  3D cinema．…Many of the 2010 big success were sequels，remarks of spin-off…，But the best film of…"可以得知，"kick off the craze"，意思是掀起了热潮，因此答案选C．
49．B   推理判断题．"it's just a cat，at the end of the day"意思是它仅仅是只猫，在生命的最尽头，可以推断出她对此事的不满和生气，故答案为B．
50．C   推理判断题． 根据最后一段中的"I was also going to give a graduation speech in Arizona this weekend，but with my accent，I was afraid，they would try to deport me"可知，我想在美国亚利桑那州发表毕业演讲，但恐怕他们会把我"驱逐"出去，由此可推断，Arnold Schwarzenegger 的口音与标准的美式英语不同，故选C．

点评 解答细节理解题时，一个常用的方法就是运用定位法，即根据题干和选项中的关键词从原文中找到相关的句子，与选项进行比较从而确定答案；推理判断题既要求学生透过文章表面文字信息推测文章隐含意思，又要求学生对作者的态度、意图及文章细节的发展作正确的推理判断，力求从作者的角度去考虑，不要固守自己的看法或观点．

A．What，wearsB．What，wearC．It，wearD．It，wears
2．Five years ago，when I taught art at a school in Seattle，I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students．I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student，and said："Make something out of the Tinkertoys．You have 45minutes today-and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week．"
A few students hesitated to start．They waited to see the rest of the class would do．Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided．Another group built something out of their own imaginations．
Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time．His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home．I was delighted at the presence of such a student．Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work．His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect（感染） other students．
Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside．I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking．Without fail one would declare，"But I'm just not creative．"
"Do you dream at night when you're asleep？"
"Oh，sure．"
"So tell me one of your most interesting dreams．"The student would tell something wildly imaginative．Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads．"That's pretty creative．Who does that for you？"
"Nobody．I do it．"
"Really-at night，when you're asleep？"
"Sure．"
"Try doing it in the daytime，in class，okay？"

D．He was imaginative．
7．What does the underlined word"downside"in Paragraph 4probably mean？B
A．Mistake．
B．Drawback．
C．Difficulty．
D．Burden．
8．Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams？A
A．To help them to see their creativity．
B．To find out about their sleeping habits．
C．To help them to improve their memory．
D．To find out about their ways of thinking．

13．When I was in primary school，I got into an argument with a boy in my class．I have forgotten what the argument was about，but I have never forgotten the lesson learned that day．
I was convincedthat"I"was right and"he"was wrong---and he was just as convinced that I was wrong and"he"was right．The teacher decided to teach us a very important lesson．She brought us up to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other．    
In the middle of her desk was a large，round object．I could clearly see that it was black She asked the boy what color the object was．"White，"he answered．
I couldn't believe he said the object was white，for it was obviously black!Another argument started between my classmate anytime，this time about the color of the object．
The teacher told me to go to stand where the boy had been standing and told him to come to stand where I had been．We changed places，and now she asked me what the color of the object was．I had to answer，"White．"It was an object with two differently-colored sides，and from his viewpoint it was white．Only from my side was it black
My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day：You must stand in the other persons'shoes and look at the situation through their eyes in order to truly understand their perspective（现点）．

56．What is the main idea of the text？（No more than 10 words）See things from others'viewpoints．
57．What is the meaning of the underlined words"was convinced"in Paragraph 2？（No more than 3 words）Believed．
 58．What did the teacher ask the students while changing positions？（No more than 8 words）The color of the object．The color of the object．
59．Why are both of their answers right？（No more than 10 words）Because the object had two differently-colored sides．
60．What do you think of the teacher？And why？（No more than 20 words）The teacher is wise because she taught them the lesson in a very good way．．
20．If you were to come up with a list of organizations whose failures had done the most damage to the American economy （经济） in recent years，you would probably have to start with the Wall Street firms that brought us the financial crisis （金融危机）．From there，you might move on to the automakers in Detroit．
But I would suggest that the list should also include a less obvious nominee （被提名者）：public education．
At its top level，the American system of higher education may be the best in the world．Yet in terms of its main task-turning teenagers into educated college graduates-much of the system is failing．
The United States does a good job enrolling （招生） teenagers in college，but only half of the students who enroll end up with a bachelor's degree．
So finding out the causes of the college dropout crisis in the world's largest economy matters greatly，and a new book called"Crossing the Finish Line"tries to do precisely that．Its authors are economists William Bowen and Michael McPherson，and a doctoral candidate Matthew Chingos．The first problem they discover is something they call under-matching．It refers to students who choose not to attend the best college they can get into．They instead go to a less selective one，perhaps one that is closer to home or less expensive．About half of the low-income students with a grade-point average of at least 3.5in high school and an SAT score of at least 1，200do not attend the best college they could have．"I was really astonished by the degree to which well-qualified students from poor families under-matched，"said Mr．Bowen．
In fact，well-off students attend the colleges that do the best job of producing graduates．Meanwhile，lower-income students-even when they are better qualified-often go to colleges that excel （擅长） in producing drop-outs．"It's really a waste，"Mr．Bowen said，"and a big problem for the country．"As the authors point out，the only way to lift the college graduation rate greatly is to lift it among poor and working-class students．Instead，it appears to have fallen．
What can be done？Money is clearly part of the answer．

49．According to this text，which of the following would people first think of as a factor causing damage to the American economy？D
A．The government．           B．Public education．
C．The Detroit automakers．   D．The Wall Street firms．
50．What is a big problem with American higher education？C
A．Many college students stay away from classes．
B．It is hard to enroll enough students into college．
C．Many colleges are experiencing low rate of graduation．
D．It is hard for many colleges to get financial aid from the government．
51．Why do some students under-match？B
A．Because they are not sure about future．
B．Because they have financial problem．
C．Because they can't get guidance．
D．Because they lack confidence．
52．The text is mainly aboutC．
A．America's financial crisis，its cause and influence
B．relationship between American education and its economy
C．low rate of American college graduation，its cause and its influence
D．problems with American secondary education and possible solutions．
