My parents moved from Mexico to South Texas in the early 90s with the hope for a brighter future for their family of nine---my parents, four boys and three girls. My parents have always wanted the best for us and they have done everything possible to encourage us to get a university degree. Never did they think that by pushing us that direction, it also meant encouraging us to move away and be distant from each other.
Initially(起初), getting accustomed to the American culture and lifestyle was very difficult for my parents. They come from a culture where kids grow up together, go to school together and most of the time live in the same neighborhood. From our point, American family values were a bit different. Typically in the US, when you turn 18, you are expected to graduate from high school, move out, find a university, possibly find a partner, get married and start a life together. Most of these decisions take you away from home; usually you have to follow opportunity and wherever that will take you.
This is my family's current situation. I graduated from Bethel College in Indiana in 2010, and in order to fulfill my financial responsibilities of paying off student loans, I moved to Washington State for my job with Experience Mission. Ideally my parents wanted me to come home to South Texas, but that wasn't where my opportunity took me.
Currently, my sister Jennifer lives in Waco, Texas, about eight hours from my parents. My two younger brothers also decided to go to college at Bethel and are away from my parents. More than likely, when they graduate, they will probably not move back home to South Texas.
My parent never imagined that their dream for a better future would separate our family this way.Facebook has played a crucial(决定性的) role in the way we communicate while living in different places. Since we all use Facebook, we have found a place to connect and feel as if we were there together with each other.
（1）We can infer from the first paragraph that ________.
A.the writer's family are immigrants to America
B.the writer' family came to America for a better future
C.the writer' parents' didn't want their children to get a university degree
D.the writer' parents pushed their children away from each other
（2）The writer's parents found it hard to be used to American life because ________.
A.they were strangers in America
B.they suffered from a culture shock
C.the local people disl iked their family
D.different countries have different lives
（3）The writer didn't return to work in South Texas after graduation because ________.
A.he owed a lot of money while studying at college
B.he didn't graduate from university
C.he found his opportunity in Washington State
D.his father couldn't find him a job in South Texas
（4）What will probably be talked about in the paragraph after the last?
A.The writer's parents' life in Texas.
B.How the parents learn to use Facebook.
C.What the writer's brothers' and sisters' lives are like.
D.How the writer's family communicate through Facebook.

【答案】
（1）A
（2）B
（3）C
（4）D
【解析】本文主要讲述了一户移民去美国的大家庭的生活情况，父母遭遇到文化冲突，但最终适应的过程，孩子们不断长大，父母对其的留恋之情，到后来的相互理解找到Facebook这一种沟通方式进行关系维持的过程，讲述了一个具有代表性移民大家庭的故事。
（1）A细节理解题，根据文中，My parents moved from Mexico to South Texas in the early 90s with the hope for a brighter future for their family of nine，可知作者家以前是移民到美国的，故选A.
（2）B推理判断题。根据文中，getting accustomed to the American culture and lifestyle was very difficult for my parents，可知因为两国间不同的文化差异导致给父母带来了很大的困难，故选B.
（3）C细节理解题。根据文中，I moved to Washington State for my job with Experience Mission.可知在华盛顿我就有机会增加我自己的工作经验，对我来说是一次机会，故选C.
（4）D推理判断题。根据文中Since we all use Facebook, we have found a place to connect and feel as if we were there together with each other.可知最后一段讲到了我们家人现在都用起了Facebook，增进了感情，推测接下来会介绍我们家人之间是怎样进行Facebook聊天的，故选D。

B
Our risk of cancer rises as we age. So it makes sense that the elderly should be routinely screened for new tumors(肿瘤)—or doesn't it?
While such careful tracking of cancer is a good thing in general, researchers are increasingly questioning whether all of this testing is necessary for the elderly. With the percentage of people over age 65 expected to nearly double by 2050, it's important to consider the health benefits of screening and the costs of routine testing.
In many cases, screening can lead to additional operations to remove cancer, which can cause side effects, while the cancers themselves may be slow-growing and may not cause serious health problems in patients' remaining years. But the message that everyone must screen for cancer has become so ingrained that when health care experts recommended that women under 50 and over 74 stop screening for breast cancer, it caused a strong reaction among doctors, patients and advocacy(拥护) groups.
It's hard to uproot deeply held beliefs about cancer screening with scientific data. Certainly, there are people over age 75 who have had cancers detected by routine screening, and gained several extra years of life because of treatment. And clearly, people over age 75 who have other risk factors for cancer, such as a family history, should continue to get screened regularly. But for the remainder, the risk of cancer, while increased at the end of life, must be balanced with other factors like a remaining life expectancy.
A recent study suggests that doctors start to make more right decisions about who will truly benefit from screening—especially considering the explosion of the elderly.
It's not an easy guess to make, but one that makes sense for the whole patient. Dr. Otis Brawley said, "Many doctors are ordering these tests purely to protect themselves against medical disputes(纠纷). We need to think about the good use of health care and stop talking about the rationing(定量配给制) of health care."
That means making some difficult decisions with elderly patients and going against the misguided belief that when it comes to health care, more is always better.
（1）Some researchers now think that routine cancer screening for the elderly .
A.adds too much to their medical bills
B.helps contribute to a long life
C.can prevent tumor growth
D.is not always necessary
（2）The underlined word "ingrained" in Paragraph 3 most probably means "".
A.important
B.reliable
C.precious
D.deep-rooted
（3）According to Dr. Otis Brawley, why do many doctors recommend routine screening for cancer?
A.Because they want to get more money from the health care system.
B.Because they want to perform their normal duties actively.
C.Because they want to avoid possible trouble.
D.Because they want their patients to suffer less.
（4）What does the author mainly argue for?
A.Screening tests must be effective and dependable.
B.Old people should be careful about routine cancer screening.
C.Screening increases the chances of detecting certain cancers earlier.
D.Whether old people should go for cancer screening should follow rules.

【题目】阅读下列短文，从所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
C
Every small child knows the panic of losing sight of its mother in the supermarket, and as these delightful pictures show, small whales obviously feel the same way.
Taken by a British diver who was following the sperm whale(抹香鲸) calf, they show the minute the baby - who had lost track of its mum-found her again in the sea off the Azores.
Soaring 30ft across the waves, the newborn slammed（猛力推）its body onto the water with joy after becoming separated from its family group in the chilly（寒冷的）waters.
But the whale calf was doing more than just jumping for joy.
British biologist and dive guide Justin Hart, 44, who took the pictures, says that young whales communicate with older ones in the ocean by creating a slamming sound which travels through the water to the ears of the adults deep below.
By leaping out of the water and slamming its 12ft long body onto the surface of the sea up to 30 times, the baby whale is telling its relatives where it is so they can regroup.
He said: “We had been following the sperm whale calf for most of the day. Sperm whales, of all the whales and dolphins, are the species that dive the deepest and for the longest time.”
“The calves have to follow what’s going on below them from the surface as best they can probably listening to the echo location（回声定位）clicks of the adults.”
“However, sometimes the adults re-surface far out of sight of the calf, and in this situation the whales often leap out of the water causing a large bang as their bodies hit the surface. In this way, the whale family could regroup.”
He added: “When I took the photo, two adults’ females had just resurfaced and the calf quite literally began jumping for joy.”
Mr. Hart captured the rare image four miles from the port of Lajes do Pico while he was working as a crewman on an underwater documentary with special license to film sperm whales in the area.
Sperm whales live in nearly all the world's oceans in groups of about 15 to 20 animals and they practice communal(集体的) childcare. The calves do not have to follow their mother too closely as sperm whales can take milk from any milk-producing female in its social group.
（1）The underlined word “they” in paragraph 2 probably refers to _____.
A.the whales
B.the divers
C.the photos
D.the mothers
（2）According to Justin Hart, the young sperm whale ____.
A.found its family with his help
B.suffered a lot in the cold waters
C.lost contact with its family for days
D.slammed as a means of communication
（3）What do we know about sperm whales?
A.The young are independent.
B.They are highly social animals.
C.They tend to live in warm sea waters.
D.Females take turns to care for babies.
（4）What would be the best title for the text?
A.Baby whales perform slamming with joy
B.Sperm whales -- fairly intelligent animals
C.Lost sperm whale baby reunited with its family
D.Slamming-- a way of communication among whales

Researchers have shown that your talent for happiness is, to a large degree, determined by your genes（基因）. We can do this by overcoming negative emotions and developing positive emotions.
Strategy（策略）1:
The first step is to make a choice to be happy. In Seeking Happiness, Bertrand Russell said, “Happiness must be an achievement rather than a gift of the gods, and in this achievement, effort must play a great part.”
Once you've decided to be happier, you can choose strategies for achieving happiness.
Strategy 2: Develop gratitude（感激）.
In Authentic Happiness, psychologist Martin Seligman encourages readers to perform a daily “gratitude exercise”.
Strategy 3: Remember, money can't buy happiness.
Research shows: Yes, “we always think that some things are wrong because they cannot bring us happiness.” writes Daniel Gilbert in Stumbling on Happiness.
Strategy 4: Take part in meaningful activities.
“People are seldom happier,” says Jackson, “than when they’re doing meaningful activities.”
Yet, he has found that the most common leisure（休闲）activity — watching TV — produces some of the lowest levels of happiness. Active leisure that helps a person grow does not come easily, he writes in Finding Flow.
A. Choose to be happy.
B. Seek happiness.
C. However, psychologists believe we can pursue happiness.
D. This drives bitterness from our heart, and promotes happiness.
E. Happiness is decided by many things.
F. To get more out of life, we need to put more into it.
G. More money doesn't often bring more happiness.
