13．I had intended to go on a diet，but the dishes at the party were simply impossible to
_______．（　　）
A．standB．resistC．defendD．tolerate

分析 我本打算节食的，但餐桌上的美味菜肴让我无法拒绝．

解答 答案：B
该题考查动词意义辨析．stand意为"容忍、忍受"，resist意为"抵抗、抗拒"，defend意为"保卫、保护"，tolerate意为"容忍、忍受"，根据句意及选项含义，可以排除C，而tolerate指"容忍、忍受"时，常指容忍某种行为而不加反抗，无法与the dishes"美味菜肴"搭配，故排除D，stand指"容忍、忍受"时，强调不屈不挠或经得起，而resist"抵抗、抗拒"的对象常具有诱惑性，所以排除A，故选B．

点评 考查动词及动词搭配辨义时，要准确掌握每个动词或搭配含义，并根据题干含义或逻辑关系选择正确答案．

7．Social Networking and Its Effect
Social networking has become an unquestionable part of our everyday lives．Those who have a life on the Internet do not always realize that they are losing their connections with the real world．Nowadays，a reputation online is more important．Some are even finding a way to make a living online．Social media seems to have quite the impact，especially on teenagers．
Years ago，before social networking existed，friends would go out and have a good time，and popularity in high school would be something of importance to a lot of people．Today，popularity means having a lot of followers on Twitter or Tumblr．Tumblr has its own way of creating"celebrities"．Users are considered"Tumblr famous"if they have a high number of followers．Websites make us think that greatness is achieved just because thousands of strangers are familiar with your face．Popularity is not about having a lot of friends anymore； it is just about being known for absolutely nothing．
Social networking has its positives，considering it allows us to connect with friends and family in a matter of seconds．Although this is extremely useful，it is also destroying our ability to make real life conversations．People are attacked over the Internet，but do not say a word to each other in person．Social media is preventing us from standing up for ourselves the way we should be．Facebook limits our conversations that we have with people，which is why it is always better to strike up a conversation in person instead of through a computer screen．Social networking destroys the true meaning of human interaction．
Teens are finding new ways to make a living out of advertisements that they post on their social networking pages．Social networks allow them to make money without even getting up off the couch．Being out in the real world and working creates ways to communicate and is a crucial part of life，but that will be destroyed if young teens think it is okay to just make money through social media．Social networking makes things easier，but that does not always mean that it makes things better．
Social networking affects young lives and causes teens to grow up differently from how their older relatives have．They rely on their blogs and pages to communicate with people，keep up with the latest trends and enjoy their separate little world．Social media has ruined how life should be：fun，adventurous and exciting．Instead，it has turned most teenagers into anti-social couch potatoes．There needs to be a break from social networking so young people can once again live a real life in the real world．

1．A．Agra Fort
Near the gardens of the Taj Mahal stands the important 16th-century Mughal monument known as the Red Fort of Agra．This powerful fortress of red sandstone encompasses，within its 2.5-km-long enclosure walls，the imperial city of the Mughal rulers．It comprises many fairy-tale palaces，such as the Jahangir Palace and the Khas Mahal，built by Shah Jahan； audience halls，such as the Diwan-i-Khas； and two very beautiful mosques．
B．Taj Mahal
Taj Mahal is regarded as one of the eight wonders of the world，and some Western historians have noted that its architectural beauty has never been surpassed．The Taj is the most beautiful monument built by the Mughals，the Muslim rulers of India．Taj Mahal is built entirely of white marble．It was constructed over a period of twenty-two years，employing twenty thousand workers．It was completed in 1648C．E．at a cost of 32Million Rupees．
C．Keoladeo National Park
This former duck-hunting reserve of the Maharajas is one of the major wintering areas for large numbers of aquatic birds from Afghanistan，Turkmenistan，China and Siberia．Some 364species of birds，including the rare Siberian crane，have been recorded in the park．

This tomb，built in 1570，is of particular cultural significance as it was the first garden-tomb on the Indian subcontinent．It inspired several major architectural innovations，culminating in the construction of the Taj Mahal．The gardens also contain the red-and-white sandstone and black-and-yellow marble tomb of Humayun's wife and the tomb of Humayun's barber．
E．Grand Canyon National Park
The Grand Canyon is perhaps the most awesome sight in the United States--and one of the wonders of the world．Much of the park's beauty is related to its geology and ecology．Schmidt explores the shape of the land，its plants and animals，and its human history．A fascinating book that everyone visiting the Grand Canyon should read．The Skywalk at Grand Canyon West is really exciting．
F．Sundarbans National Park
The Sundarbans covers 10，000sq．km of land and water （more than half of it in India，the rest in Bangladesh） in the Ganges delta．It contains the world's largest area of mangrove forests．A number of rare or endangered species live in the park，including tigers，aquatic mammals，birds and reptiles．

8．Disease，poverty，hate，love-Charles Dickens'stories opened his readers eyes to the most important themes of his age．Two hundred years on，his stories still speak volumes（有意义）across the world，proving that Dickens'legacy（遗产）was far greater than just"great literature"
     February 7 marks the 20th anniversary of the writer's birthday．To mark this date，BBC writer Alex Hudson listed six things Dickens gave the modem world．Let's take a look at two of them．
A white Christmas
     Dickens is described  as"the man who invented Christmas"-not the religious festival，but the cultural aspects that we associate with the festive season today．In the early 19th century，Christmas was barely worth mentioning，according to critic and writer Leigh Hunt．The committee which ran the Conservative Party even held ordinary business meetings on Christmas Day-unthinkable in the West nowadays，when everyone but the most necessary workers takes at least three days off．
  Many people believe that Dickens'popular descriptions of the festive period became a blueprint for generations to come．In his classic novel，A Christmas Carol，he not only put forward the idea of snow at Christmas，but also painted a picture of glowing warmth-home enjoyments，affections and hopes．
    In his biography of Dickens，Peter Ackroyd wrote："Dickens Can be said to have almost single-handedly created the modem idea of Christmas．"
"Dickensian"poverty
      Dickens was one of the first to take an honest look at the underclass and the poor of Victorian（the period during British Queen Victoria's reign from l837 to 1901）London．
He helped popularize the term"red tape"to describe situations where people in power use needless amounts of bureaucracy（官僚作风）in a way that particularly hurts the weaker and  poorer members of society．
"Dickensian"has now become a powerful word for describing an unacceptable level of poverty．In 2009，when the president of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers in the UK wanted to talk about deprivation（剥夺权利）in some areas of Britain，she did not use words like"terrible"or"horrific"，but rather described it as"life mirroring the times of Dickens"．

5．Apple Inc co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs，counted among the greatest American CEOs of his generation，died on Wednesday at the age of 56，after a years-long and highly public battle with cancer．Mourners gathered outside his house in Palo Alto，California，and Apple stores around the world．
Steve Jobs made technology fun．As tech leaders，they're really happy if they have one hit in their life．Steve Jobs has the Apple II，the Mac，the iPod，the iPhone，the iPad and Pixar．

Mr Jobs then formed his own company，called NeXT Computer．He rejoined Apple in 1997after it bought NeXT．He helped remake Apple from a business that was in bad shape then to one of the most valuable companies in the world today．However，Steve Jobs stepped down as Apple's chief executive in August because of his health．He died a day after the company released a new iPhone version that met with limited excitement．Steve left behind a company that only he could have built，and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple．
President Obama said in a statement：by building one of the planet's most successful companies from his garage，Steve Jobs exemplified the spirit of American ingenuity（独创性的）．By making computers personal and putting the Internet in our pockets，he made the information revolution not only accessible，but intuitive and fun．
The fact that he was able to redesign American commerce top to bottom and across is really stunning．He probably will be considered an industrial giant on the scale of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford，so one of the greatest of all time．Steve Jobs not only revolutionized technology，he also revolutionized American business．Steve Jobs was remembered as a"great visionary and leader"and a"marketing genius．"

10．Almost a decade after the hit Finding Nemo made clownfish seem totally warm and lovable，environmentalists are now looking for a real-life sequel：Saving Nemo．
    In the United States，a request has been made to extend the protections of the Endangered Species Act to marine species including the clownfish．
But before you start shedding tears for Nemo and his buddies，keep in mind that this request is not based on any evidence of a decline in the clownfish population．Instead，what has sparked concern is the worsening health of coral reefs，which more than one million aquatic species including the clownfish depend on to thrive，even survive．
    In ways it makes more sense to move to protect a species when its habitat declines rather than its actual population．The most important mission of the Endangered Species Act is the protection of species'habitats； without their habitats，there's almost no hope of saving endangered animals，except perhaps in a zoo．
　  Earlier this year，alarming news came about the world's largest coral reef system，Australia's Great Barrier Reef （GBR，大堡礁）．A study has shown the Reef is in sharp decline，with half of its coral cover gone in the past 27 years．
　   Katharina Fabricius，an Australian coral reef ecologist co-authoring the study，has been diving and working on the GBR since 1988-and has watched the decline．"There are still a lot of fish…but not the same color and diversity as in the past，"she said．
　  The study team used information from more than 2，000 surveys to determine the rate of decline between 1985 and 2012．That overall 50-percent decline，they estimate，is a yearly loss of about 3.4 percent of the Reef．If the trend continued，the coral cover could halve again by 2022．
　  Several main factors are responsible for the decline，the study found．Intense tropical cyclones （热带气旋），believed to be fueled by global warming，have caused massive damage to reefs in the central and southern parts of the Reef．Meanwhile，population explosions of the coral-consuming crown-of-thorns starfish （长棘海星） have affected coral populations along the length of the Reef．Two severe coral bleaching （变白） events，caused by ocean warming，have also had major damaging impacts in northern and central parts of the GBR．
72．A request has been made in the United States to save the clownfish becauseB．
A．it is a totally warm and lovable species        
B．the health of its habitat is worsening
C．its population has dropped sharply          
D．few clownfish can be found in zoos
72．What does the underlined word"thrive"in Paragraph 3 probably mean？C
A．To feed oneself
B．To keep oneself safe．
C．To grow and develop well
D．To attract attention．
74．According to the article，what is the AUTHOR'S attitude toward the request in the U．S．？A
A．He/she supports it．
B．He/she finds it ridiculous．
C．He/she thinks it is reasonable but needs revising．
D．There's no WAY to tell．
75．According to the article，all of the following factors contribute to the decline of Great Barrier Reef's coral cover exceptA．
A．the growing popularity of scuba （水肺）diving around the Reef
B．stronger tropical cyclones fueled by global warming
C．the rapidly growing population of type of coral-eating starfish
D．coral bleaching caused by rising temperature of the ocean water．
