题目内容

15．I needed to buy a camera，one that was simply good at taking good snaps （快照）．So I went on the net，spent 15minutes reading product reviews on good websites，wrote down the names of three top recommendations （推荐） and headed for my nearest big camera store．There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list．And it was on special offer．Oh joy．I pointed at it and asked a salesgirl，"Can I have one of those？""Do you want to try it first？"she said．It didn't quite sound like a question．"Do I need to？"I replied．"There's nothing wrong with it？""No，no．But you should try it，"she said encouragingly．"Compare it with the others．"
I looked across at the others：shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall，offering different prices．With so many models to choose from，it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y，always trying to consider Z and possibly H at the same time．But when I had finished，I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with：first，soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop，it would be worthhalf what I paid for it； and second，my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model．
But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps （陷阱） by making the right choice．In the end，I agreed to try the model I had chosen．The salesgirl seemed a kind girl．So I let her take out my chosen camera from the cupboard，show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers…and when she started to introduce the special features，I cut in to ask whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well．
Why do we think that new choices still offer us anything new？Perhaps it is because they offer a chance to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine．

35．The salesgirl insisted that the writer shouldB．
A．try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with it
B．compare the camera he had chosen with the others
C．get more information about different companies
D．trust her and stop asking questions
36．What does the writer mean by"it would be worthhalf what I paid for it"？C
A．The camera was not good．
B．He should get a lower price．
C．The camera would soon fall in value．
D．The price of the camera was too high．
37．The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because heC．
A．knew very little about it
B．didn't trust the salesgirl any more
C．wanted to make sure he chose the best one
D．wanted to take pictures of his fellow shoppers
38．It can be inferred from the passage that in the writer's opinion，D．
A．salespersons are not always very kind
B．people waste too much money on cameras
C．cameras have become an important part of our daily life
D．we don't actually need so many choices when buying a product．

分析文章大意：试题分析：作者去商店买一款自己从网上看到的相机，有一款正好打折，作者要看一看，售货员让他与别的产品比较一下，经过再三思量，作者还是买了自己选中的那一款，他认为买东西的时候，并不需要那么多的选择，相信自己．

解答 35-38：BCCD
35题答案；B．细节理解题．从短文中这句话"Compare it withthe others．"可知女售货员坚持让作者把他选的与其它的比较一下，故选B．

37题答案：C 结构分析题．从短文倒数第二段描述可看出，作者决定买自己选择的那一款，因为他认为自己选择的就是最好的，故选C．
38题答案：D 分析归纳题．从短文最后一段可看出，作者的观点是，当我们买东西的时候，并不需要那么多的选择，所以作者决定买自己选择的那一款，故选D．

Super Singers
Imagine yourself singing in front of an audience，performing in other countries，and having your music put on a CD!All this excitement isn't just for rock stars．Joining a children's chorus gives kids the chance to do these exciting activities．What does it take to get into a children's chorus？You don't need years of singing lessons．You just need to have a love for singing and be willing to learn and follow directions．
It all starts at the audition（试唱）．The choirmaster，or conductor，will have you sing with a group of kids．As the group sings，the conductor listens to how your voice comes together．You'll also probably be asked to sing by yourself．The conductor wants to figure out what type of voice you have．A girl with a high voice is a soprano while a girl with a low voice is an alto．A boy with a high voice is a tenor，while a boy with a low voice is a bass．When the whole chorus sings together，the different types of voices sing different notes to the same song．This is called"singing parts"．
Once you pass the audition，you might be assigned to a specific group．Beginning singers are often grouped together in a"Treble Chorus"．More advanced singers might be in a"Concert Chorus"．Different choirs have different names for these groups．No matter which group you're in，you'll need to go to rehearsals．Most children's choirs rehearse once a week．

93．What do you need to join a children's chorus？You need to love singing and be able to follow directions．
94．What are you required to do at the audition？You sing with a group of kids and by yourself．
95．What will Jane probably be if she has a low voice？An alto．
96．Beginning singers are often grouped together in a"Concert Chorus"，aren't they？No，they aren't．
97．How often do most children's choirs rehearse？Once a week．
98．What good is being a member of a choir？Singing in front of an audience．

3．Today most countries have at least one airline that flies to foreign countries and one airline that flies inside the country．Some countries have several of each．
The world's first passenger airline was called the St．Petersburg Tampa Airboat Line．This St．Petersburg was in Florida in the USA，and the airline took passengers on a 20-mile flight across Tampa Bay．It operated for only four months from January 1914．
The first European airline flew every day from Berlin to Weimar．Called Deutsche Lutt-Reederei （DLR），it started to operate on 6February 1919．At first it carried only mail and newspapers，but before long it took passengers as well．The planes were open to the air so passengers had to wear special clothing and shoes to protect them from the wind，rain and cold．
In March 1919the first international airline began to operate．Lignes Aeriennes Farman flew once a week between Paris and Brussels．The journey took two hours and 50minutes．Later that year，an English airline，Air Transport and Travel，flew every day from London to Paris．
Although the first passenger flights took place in the USA，the development of air travel in America was strangely slow； it was not until 1926that there were any regular passenger services there．It was not until 1939that the first service across the North Atlantic began to operate．This was a service by the Pan American Boeing 314flying boat，Yankee Clipper，which took 18hours and 42minutes to cover the journey between Newfoundland in North America and Southampton in England．The journey now takes about four hours by Boeing 777and half that by Concorde．
Today for many people air travel is as much part of their lives as traveling by boat，car or train．Although it has not seriously affected travel by car or train，it has caused many shipping lines to stop carrying passengers，as most people now prefer to make long journeys by air rather than by sea．

48．The first passenger airlineC．

20．Most of us have never thought about building an educational toy by ourselves．If we need a learning toy or something，we simply go to the nearest store and buy it．However，things are not as easy in third world countries．With families even having no food to put on the table，buying toys，especially the educational ones，is the last thing on the parents'minds．
So how can one get these kids interested in science？This was a question that worried the Indian engineer Arvind Gupta so much that he decided to give up a good job and spend his life making toys from trash，things that people no longer want or need!
Mr．Gupta began teaching in the 1970s．While still an engineering student at the Indian College of Technology，he volunteered to teach the children who could not afford to go to school．Upon graduation，he found a good job at India's Tata Motors and spent the next five years designing cars．
But he soon realized that this was not something he wanted to do for the rest of his life．So he took a year's training course and took part in the Hoshangabad Science Teaching Program whose aim was to make science fun and exciting for poor children using available materials．
Mr．Gupta found the whole project so satisfying that he decided to leave his high-paying job and focus his attention on designing educational toys that were not only cheap and easy to build，but are also full of scientific principles（科学原理），so that children could get interested in this interesting subject．
When the Internet started becoming a more widespread learning tool，Mr．Gupta created a Toys from Trash website and also recorded over 250YouTube videos．
Today，over 50，000children and teachers visit the website daily to download the videos for the toy creations based on cool science．Some young children have become so inspired （鼓舞）that they have even won international science competitions with the help of his creations．

93．What are these educational toys made from？They are made from things that people don't want or need．
94．Did Arind Gupta start building educational toys as soon as he graduated from the college？No，he didn't．
95．Who did Mr．Gupta build these educational toys for？He built these educational toys for children （and teachers ）in third world countries．
96．How are the educational toys designed by Mr．Gupta？They are cheap and easy to build and full of scientific principles a s well．．
97．What did Mr．Gupta do to introduce his educational toys？He created a website and recorded educational videos so that children and teachers can learn．
98．How can these educational toys help the children in third world countries？They help make science fun and exciting for poor children using available material．．

7．You either have it，or you don't-a sense of direction．But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map while others can lose themselves in the next street？
Scientists say we're all born with a sense of direction，but it is not properly understood how it works．One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it．Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don't use it，we lose it．
"Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around，"says Jim Martland，research director of the project．"However，if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car，they never develop the skills．"
Jim Martland alsoemphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction．He makes the following suggestions：
•If you are using a map，turn it so that it relates to（与…有联系） the way you are facing．
•If you leave your bike in a strange place，put it near something like a big stone or a tree-something easy to recognize．Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike．When you return，go back along the same route．
•Simplify（简化） the way for finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town，streams，or wells in the countryside to guide you．Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as towerblocks or hills which can help to find out where you are．
Now you will never get lost again!
