13．When I was young，it wasn't the parental love that filled my thoughts in the spring．It was baseball．
I loved everything about the game-the crack of a bat，the excitement of chasing a ground ball across short green grass，even watching the games on our old black-and-white TV．Yet looking back now，nothing was quite as important to me as the annual ritual （老规矩） of playing catch with my dad．
Dad was never much of a baseball fan，but as green leaves began to shoot on bare branches and warmth returned to the air，he would grab his old mitt （棒球手套） and head out to the yard with me just the same．There was something beneficial about playing catch with him，the hum of the ball as it sailed through the air，and the friendly pop as it hit the leather netting．We may have been 50feet apart，but the flight of that ball connected us，forming as strong a relationship as any father-son talk ever could have．
I was never the star of my Little League team，yet Dad never cared about that．Every year，he would be out there，waiting to field any false throw I sent his way．
As I grew older，I realized that our game was a reflection of our relationship-that even if a problem didn't involve a glove and a ball，Dad would always be there to handle anything I threw in his direction．His devotion to our springtime ritual showed his devotion to me-not only to my love of baseballl but also to my life．
I've often heard it said that"the devil is in the details．"Now I realize that in my relationship with my father，love was in the details．

66．When the author was young，he didn't care much aboutB．
A．the sound of hitting a ball 
B．the company of his father
C．the joy of running after a ball
D．the games broadcast on TV
67．The author's father practiced catching baseball with him on warm spring days，D．
A．having a father-son conversation with him
B．killing time while doing some physical exercise
C．making him an excellent baseball player
D．giving him a guiding hand in his life
68．We can learn from the passage thatD．
A．a yearly celebration was held to start their spring baseball catching ritual
B．the author and his father used to have a loose relationship with each other
C．the author fully realized his father's love for him when he was young
D．the author's father always stood by him whenever he was in trouble
69．What is the passage mainly about？C
A．The same hobby shared between the author and his father．
B．The way the author and his father used to spend spring days．
C．The author's sweet memory of his father's love for him．
D．The analysis made by the author about father-son relationship．

解答 66．B  推理判断题，根据第二段Yet looking back now，nothing was quite as important to me as the annual ritual （老规矩） of playing catch with my dad．可知现在回想起来没有什么比我和爸爸玩接球更重要，当时作者没有意识到这一点，因此可推知他没有太在意父亲的陪伴，故选B．
67．D  细节理解题，根据第五段As I grew older，I realized that our game was a reflection of our relationship-that even if a problem didn't involve a glove and a ball，Dad would always be there to handle anything I threw in his direction．可知在作者长大后他意识到了父亲与他玩棒球是在他生命中给他一个指导，故选D．

13．Ourknowledge（知识）of the universe is growing all the time．
4．Given that many people's moods （情绪）are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate，it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine．Looking like a setting from the film Charlie &the Chocolate Factory，Singapore's Chocolate Research Facility （CRF） has over 100varieties of chocolates．its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents'comer store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets．
  If the CRF seems to be a smart idea，that's because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi's and Sony．That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored（味道）chocolates．
  The CRF's produce is"green"．made within the country and divided into 10lines，with the Alcohol Series being the most popular．The Exotic Series一with Sichuan pepper，red bean （豆）．cheese and other flavors一also does well and is fun to taste．And for chocolate snobs，who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others，the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo，Cuba，Venezuela，and Ghana，among others．

64．What is good about chocolate？C．
A．It serves as a suitable gift．
B．It works as an effective medicine．
C．It helps improve the state of mind．

B．He learns form shops of similar types．
C．He has the support of many big names
D．He has a lot of marketing experience．
66．Which line of the CRF produce sells best？C．
A．The Connoisseur Series．   B．The Exotic Series．
C．The Alcohol Series．       D．The Sichuan Series．

1．It is six o'clock in the morning．You are asleep in my left arm and I am learning the art of one-handed typing．Your mother，more tired yet more happy than I've ever known her，is sound asleep in the room next door．
When you're older we'll tell you that you were born in Hong Kong in the lunar year of the pig．"It's a boy，so lucky，"our neighbours told us．They said you were the first baby to be born in the block this year．This，they told us，was good Feng Shui，in other words，a positive sign．Naturally your mother and I were only too happy to believe that．
Your coming has turned me upside down and inside out．I am pained by the memory of each suffering child I have come across on my journeys as a journalist．To tell you the truth，it's nearly too much for me to even think of the children being hurt and abused and killed．
Last October，in Afghanistan，when you were growing inside your mother，I met Sharja，aged twelve，motherless，fatherless，guiding me through the grey ruins of her home．Everything was gone，she told me．
There is another memory of Rwanda，and the churchyard where I found a mother and her three young children huddled（蜷缩） together where they'd been beaten to death．The children had died holding on to their mother．
Daniel，these memories explain some of the protectiveness I feel for you，and the occasional moments of blind terror when I imagine anything bad happening to you．

53．We can see that this text is written toC．

8．Do you know that people without friends are more likely to die an early death？It's true．However，not all the friends are helpful to up your chances of living a long，happy life．The following types of friends are just what you need to keep the doctor away．
1．A Loyal Best Friend
Sometimes a loyal best friend is the only thing you need to stay calm．Everyone needs a non-judgmental friend who will support them no matter what．This is the kind of friend who knows all of your deepest and darkest secrets，but still loves you all the same．
2．An Honest Confidant
There are certain situations in life where we need to hear the harsh truth．It is really hard for you to face it，but that's what the honest confidant is for．Friends are supposed to be honest with each other．If you find someone who is bravely honest with you （in a constructive way），then hold on to this person!People like that are hard to come by these days．
3．A Polar Opposite
If you only develop friendships with others who follow the same beliefs，customs，and values as you do，chances are you're kept away from the rest of the world．Try to break out of your comfortable zone and befriend people who hold opposing views．You'll learn to accept people who don't see the world exactly the way you see it．
4．A Work Pal
Do you know that with a full-time job，you spend at least 50%of your waking hours at work？Depressing，isn't it？The more isolated you are at work，the more depressed you get．That's why it makes sense to get a work pal to chat with to help you get through the week．You spend 50%of your waking hours at work，and so does your work pal．You'll find it much easier to complain about work with someone than to eat lunch alone every day．
With them in your life，you're bound to live a long and happy life!

2．"Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity，"said the American talk show host Oprah Winfrey．I've never watched her show，but when a self-made billionaire gives life advice it's probably worth listening to．
Her point is that blind luck is very rare．You may have to be lucky to find a good job these days but that does not mean you should sit at home waiting for the opportunity to come to you．If you're a Chinese，you may already be familiar with the tale of a farmer waiting by a tree stump （树桩） for a rabbit to run out and break its neck．
A book by the UK psychologist Richard Wiseman，called The Luck Factor，argues we can all make ourselves luckier．It's not about going to a temple to burn some incense （香） in hopes that the gods will give you good fortune； it's practical advice you can follow each day．
Wiseman conducted an experiment as part of his studies．First he divided volunteers into two groups：those who said they were lucky in life and those who said they were not．He gave everyone a newspaper and asked them to look through it to count how many photographs it had inside．On average，the unlucky people took about two minutes to count the photographs while the lucky people took just seconds．Why？On the second page of the newspaper，a command，"Stop counting．There are 43 photographs in this newspaper，"was written in big letters．The unlucky people mostly did not spot the message．
It's easy to compare this situation to a young person looking for jobs in a local paper．They might search so hard for one type of position that they miss an even better opportunity．People who are"lucky"，in fact，keep an open mind and don't go through the same routine every day．
I first came to China in 2002 when it was considered a rather strange thing to do．Like many foreigners，my plan was to teach English for one year．Seven years later，and still here，I've had many great opportunities such as writing for newspapers and magazines．I did not dream these would have been possible．I've also never been sick，had an accident，got into a fight or had problems with the police．Coincidence？After reading about Professor Wiseman's studies I think not．
As Wiseman advises，I usually trust my own judgment．Your friends and parents may give you advice based on rational thinking，but it's important to consider how you feel about each choice you make．Your feeling acts as a warning for a potential problem．
Finally，try to turn bad luck into good．Even if you do fall down and break a leg，the time spent at home can be used wisely to study English．

A．luck is in your own hand       
B．bad luck can turn into good
C．you should not sit at home waiting for the opportunity to come to you
D．man can conquer nature
60．From the experiment，Wiseman drew the conclusion thatC．
A．lucky people are quick-minded            B．unlucky people are slow to read
C．lucky people often have an open mind     D．unlucky people are more creative．
17．When University of California-Berkeley released a study this month showing alarmingly high teacher turnover （人员流动） rates at Los Angeles charter （特许） schools，I wasn‘t surprised．
That's not shocking news at local charter schools．It‘s just that the study reminded me of something I'd observed many times，starting with my niece．
Bright and cheerful，my niece longed to teach high-needs children．She started out in the San Francisco public schools，where she was assigned to the district‘s toughest elementary school．Fifth-graders threw chairs across the room-and at her．Parents refused to show up for conferences．
She wasn't willing to deal with this level of indifference and teacher abuse，so she switched to a highly regarded charter elementary school in the Bay Area where she poured her energy into her job and it showed．Her students‘test scores were as high as those in a nearby wealthy school district，despite the obstacles these children faced．
By her fourth year，however，my niece was worn out，running out of the energy it took to work with a classroom of sweet but deeply needy children who begged to stay in her classroom when it was time to leave．The principal‘s offer of a $10，000raise couldn‘t stop her from giving notice．She went to work at that wealthy school district next door-for less money．
Over the years，I've met many teachers who have a passion for their work at charter schools，only to call them the next year and find they‘ve left．The authors of the Berkeley study hold the belief that the teachers leave because of the extraordinary demands：long hours，intense involvement in students complicated lives，continual searches for new ways to raise scores．Even the strongest supporters of the reform movement acknowledge that raising achievement among disadvantaged students is the most challenging task．
It‘s unlikely that we can build large-scale school reform on a platform of continual new demands on teachers-more time，more energy，more devotion，more responsibility-even if schools find ways to pay them better．
This is the bigger challenge facing schools．We need a more useful answer to the Berkeley study than-Yeah，its really hard work．

50．Why wasn‘t the author surprised at the problem？C
A．She had been informed of the problem by her niece．
B．She had participated in the Berkeley study．
C．She had noticed the phenomenon repeatedly．
D．She had been warned of the problem by the media．
51．What can we learn about the students in the public school the author‘s niece taught？B
A．They were clever and cheerful．
B．They were not disciplined．
C．They were indifferent to each other．
D．They were forced to learn by their parents．
52．The author‘s niece left the charter elementary school in the Bay Area becauseC．
A．her hard work and devotion didn‘t pay off
B．her work was not well received by the children
C．the demanding work made her exhausted
D．the mean principle offered her a low salary
53．Which of the following is probably the most difficult for teachers？A
A．Raising disadvantaged students‘scores．
B．Frequent involvement in students‘lives．
C．Indifference from students‘parents．
D．Long working time and much energy．
54．What is the author's comment on the current school reform movement？B
A．It will have a positive impact on education．
B．It tends to be unsuccessful．
C．It will make teachers more motivated．
D．It demands more fund to meet the challenge．
